Two angels accompany Uriel and Michael in the final dungeon Qliphoth's World. They will cast Recarmdra on the archangel if they are injured, sacrificing the rest of their health in the process. Taking them out is required to best the archangel, but defeating them will have the archangel summon another one to replace the fallen one. It is recommended to use a Death Skill such as Mamudoon to take down all of them at once, as they are weak to curse and can be affected by status conditions or instant-kill effects.
