I'm a little confused on this part: Equip Orcent, AVOID all enemies and just interact with the 3 shining spots, clear the 2 blue flames and loot the 5 chests. (You can jump over a gap to find the second blue flame; don't kill that one until Orcent joins the fight.) Interact with the crystal when you need to heal. Once done interact with the orb "Prepare". (If you get caught by a monster load your game and try again, don't kill any wandering monsters).
Am I not supposed to kill the light blue flames at all or do I kill them after I kill the minibosses? I don't immediately see anything that suggests we go back to kill them later and it seems like a waste of exp to just not fight them without a reason.
