Holminster Switch─an idyllic settlement in the northern reaches of Lakeland; a tranquil village where folk spend their days raising livestock and tending crops; a ripe target for a Lightwarden and its swarm of voracious sin eaters.
Reports of bloody carnage have reached the Crystarium, and the guard has deployed in force in answer to Holminster's plea for aid. The Crystal Exarch has need of your strength, for this is no skirmish with a stray abomination─to triumph against a Warden would be to strike a telling blow in the unending war for the First's survival.

- Fierce Beating: Philia moves to the center of the arena with a rotating marker around it and a damaging puddle will appear inside Philia's hitbox. Philia will slam the ground in front of it with its arms, creating two moving circle AoEs travelling outward.

Trivia
- With the exception of "The Path of Light", all of the attacks used by the Forgiven Dissonance are named after devices used for punishment, torture, or execution.
- Tesleen's attack "Scold's Bridle" and Philia's "Scavenger's Daughter" follow this pattern as well.
- Philia's attack "Taphephobia" refers to the fear of being buried alive.
