For only the most savage creatures, you see, are known to yield atma. And if you thought that weren't trial enough, only by employing special combat strategies will atma be yours to own.

Atma-yielding monsters are known to have vulnerabilities that, if exploited, may result in a swift end to the confrontation.

Strike at a foe's weakness, and it will drop different spoils, often more valuable than usual. Among them you may find atma.

The vulnerabilities can broadly be divided into three categories: magic attacks, physical-based weapon skills, and magic-based weapon skills.

For instance, there are monsters known to be weak against magic-based weapon skills. Inflicting such damage upon them will impair their movement, and you may consequently be rewarded with atma.

All living creatures, however, possess the capacity to adapt, and vulnerabilities have been observed to change. Be wary if you wish not to discover to your sorrow that a once-foolproof strategy no longer applies.

Besting such fell creatures is in itself a harrowing task, and becomes even more so if procuring atma is your objective.

But should fortune smile upon you and you find yourself in possession of atma, bring it here. I will see that it serves you well.
