Save the Students General Tips
Destroying the Abscess in Tennozu
Destroying this Abscess will make it easier to navigate the area while finding the students.
2 Jack Frost will appear upon interacting with the Abscess. Use Fire attacks to target their weakness and avoid using Ice attacks as they will just get absorbed.

Finding all four students will complete the main quest Save the Students.
Destroying the Abscess in the Container Yard
The Abscess spawns 2 Feng Huang and 2 Makami. All of them are weak to Dark attacks so bring in your strongest Mudo users to make it an easy battle, especially if you manage to land an instakill.
Destroying the Abscess in Konan 3rd Block
The Abscess only sends out a Basilisk. It is weak to Electric attacks so take your strongest Zio attackers with you. You might also need a healer and a demon with Patra as Basilisk can inflict Poison.
