As a story dungeon, you will be able to undertake the dungeon with a group of Trust NPCs. Before entering Lapis Manalis, you can form a party with characters like Alphinaud, Y'shtola, and Zero to help you through the dungeon. Using the Trust system allows you to take the dungeon on at your own pace, and the NPCs will also greatly help you to learn the attacks of each boss, as they perfectly dodge each mechanic.
