How To Unlock The ‘The Cockatrice In The Clouds’ Bounty
This bountybecomes available on 9/26and can be accepted fromany Recruitment Centre. There is no deadline for this bounty, but naturally, you do have the looming end of the game to be aware of.
you may only reach this location once you have unlocked flying, but fortunately, you will have that already, and it’ll take one day to travel there.
Quest Prep
You can speak to the informant in The Greatest Catch inn in Port Brilehaven and purchase information on the Great Avian of the Manor for 3,500 reeve.
Obviously, we’re going to give you the same tips, so feel free to save yourself some cash.
As the informant explains,Kokamordos will try and debuff your team and is weak to Ice, so aside from your usual party strategy prep, you may want to purchase some additional items on top of the usual range of healing consumables.
You should get some Revival Medicine/Balm of Life as Kokamordos can one-hit kill under the right (or rather, wrong) circumstances.
You can also buy some items that deal Ice damage from the Gloamhall in Grand Trad if you feel you might need some extra help.
Recommended Party Setup
There’s a lot of leeway for party composition here, so feel free to use whatever you deem best. We’ve just broken down which setup we used and why.
Prince/Seeker Lineage/Healer Lineage
Back
The Protagonist should be healing your party, and so really any Archetype would work providing you use the right inherited skills, such asDekunda to remove debuffs. We alsorecommend ensuring you have Medica inherited from Healerto keep your party healed.
Knight Lineage
Front
Someone from the Knight lineage (likely Hulkenberg) will great to act as a tank as well as providingPierce damage, which the Kokamordos is weak to. Additionally, you’ll then getMarakukaja too to buff your team’s defences.
Mage Lineage
Having an Archetype from theMage lineage will allow you to use Ice-based moves, but additionally, if your Protagonist is set as Prince, it’llunlock the Hadean Icecrag Synthesis Skill, which deals extreme Ice damage.
Any Damage Dealer Archetype
Choose whoever your strongest Damage Dealer is to fill this slot, taking into account the Kokamordos' weaknesses and attacks.
If you have any Ice-affinity weapons, equip those and you can also change up inherited skills for your team to include Ice-based moves.
Kokamordos use Fire and Dark attacks, so Archetypes and Equipment resistant to these are good.Having Marakukaja is a must.
How To Find Kokamordos Terror Of The Skies
Kokamordos Terror of the Skies ison the fifth floor of the Manor of the Ascendant - Principality of Oceana dungeon. We havea complete walkthrough of how to reach it right here. Thankfully, there areno other requirements needed to make it appear.

Immune (heals it)
Sharply lowers one party member’s Attack and Defence.
Targets an ally without Rakukaja and one-hit kills them.
Mudodyne
Dark magic attack to one party member that has a chance of inflicting Insta-Death.
Battle Strategy
On your first turn, be sure toshore up your team’s defences with Marakukaja straight away, then start hitting the Ice and Pierce weaknesses as much as you can.
Kokamordos will use a mixture of Fire and Dark moves, and will also useattacks that lower your party members' attack and defence, so be prepared to heal them anduse Dekunda to remove any debuffsit casts on you.
Kokamordos will target allies without the effect of Rakukaja and use Peck of Death, so try and ensure you keep using Marakukaja to keep it applied at all times.
Thebattle should be fairly straightforward as long as you keep on top of Marakukaja and keep your party healed(with debuffs removed). Make the most of your Synthesis Skills to deal some hefty Ice and Pierce damage and before you know it, the Kokamordos will be toast.
