First-Class Hunting
“First-Class Hunting” is one of the side elements in Tales of Berseria. Get information from the Information Shop, defeat the Daemons lurking throughout the world, and obtain rewards like rare items. It looks like you’ll even be able to battle Mutant Hellions from Tales of Zestiria, like Baron Bat pictured below.
Wandering Enemy
When certain conditions are met, a special Daemon will intrude at the end of a battle. The lackeys it brings along cannot be killed.
