Notes

Read from the VGO Emulator client, which supplied the game id. The fight is meant to be survivable and solo: Syroko says Misa “will not cause any real harm, nor are you in danger of being killed”, and that no assistance is allowed. Whether the emulator enforces either condition has not been tested.

Another account

A second source described this quest differently. Both are kept here; neither is a correction of the other.
