How to unlock the Cast out of the skies achievement in Phantom Dust - Definitive Guide
In my experience the best strategy is to use a simple Finisher deck. The boss has a set pattern and is vulnerable to attack when he stops to launch his own attack. Simply get your aura level to 10+ and unleash Finisher.
The deck for this is quite simple:
1x Finisher - The move to kill the boss
2x Level Amp - To double aura when it is over 10
2x Level Boost - To increase aura by 2
2x Graceful Woods - To fill aura for Finisher attack
2x Auto Shell - For Defense against boss attacks
Short-range attacks will be of no use during this mission. Thalasso circles around the Refinery stage, then sticks its eye out when it’s near the helicopter. Hit Thalasso’s eye with a skill like Rock Shot, then run behind Thalasso to avoid the attack it does right after you hit its eye. Immediately run to the bottom of the stairs close to where you spawned to avoid Thalasso’s Blaster attack. Continue to hit its eye when it approaches the helicopter until it goes down.
If you die during the mission, you can interact with the Memory Box Terminal in Visions HQ and revisit the mission later on. Select scenario, then choose Refinery. Pick the “Rescue Friends” mission and replay the mission without dying or retrying to unlock this achievement.
