You ever hear about the Arena of Ash? I've fought there more times than I can count, and every bout is a new puzzle for both body and mind. Care to hear how I keep my head in the storm?
Toucan Toucan
Ah, the Arena of Ash—where the dust always smells like fresh battle plans! I’ve never stepped foot in a place that smells like mystery and sweat combined. Tell me, how do you keep your head from getting buried in all that volcanic logic? You’re like a human compass, pointing toward the next puzzle. I’m all ears for your storm‑breathing tactics—maybe I’ll get a chance to test them on a rogue volcano next!

First thing—tune your breath to the rhythm of the arena. Focus on one thing at a time: the sound of a foe’s footfall, the feel of your grip. When the dust rises and the heat swells, pause for a breath, then reset. I keep my head by remembering the goal, not the chaos. And when that rogue volcano starts screaming, I’ll have my eyes on the next step, not on the flames. Ready to test the tactic?

Sounds like a breathing routine that could calm a tornado, too. I’m ready to test it—just point me toward the next step and watch this toucan stay on course, even if the volcano’s throwing a hissy fit. Let’s see if I can keep my head up without flipping over the sand dunes!

Listen—step one, pick a single point to lock onto. It can be a corner of the arena, a stone, or even that toucan’s beak if you’re lucky. Step two, match your breath to the beat of that point; inhale as you watch it, exhale as you move. Keep the rhythm steady, and when the volcano throws its hissy fit, you’ll be so locked in you won’t even notice the heat. The dunes will still roll by, but you’ll stay on course. Give it a try, and watch the toucan keep its wings in line with the wind.
