Sarah is a Pathfinder Challenge tucked into Beast Fang Ridge, and she leans entirely on Water-type Aniimo. Both of her creatures fold quickly once you bring the right elements and target her healer before anything else.
Quick answer: Bring Grass, Lightning, or Ice attackers, knock out Pranky first to cut off her healing, then finish Shelly.
Sarah location in Beast Fang Ridge
Find Sarah in Beast Fang Ridge at -1428, 1058. She is southwest of the main area, with the Forest of Falling Stars Bloom directly to her west. Approach her to begin the duel.
Sarah’s team and weaknesses (Pathfinder Challenge)
The Pathfinder Challenge is a Level 27 fight, so bring a team around that level. Sarah fields two Aniimo, and both are Water-type, which means Grass, Lightning, and Ice damage all hit them hard.
| Aniimo | Level | Role |
|---|---|---|
 Pranky | 25 | Healer |
 Shelly | 27 | DPS |
Strong picks against this pair include Irisalis, Geoclaw, Fulmintis, Blazen, and Fenmane. Geoclaw and Blazen are especially useful because their abilities apply the Break status fast, opening Sarah’s Aniimo up for heavy follow-up damage.
Kill Pranky before Shelly
Pranky is the team’s healer. As long as it stays alive, it keeps topping up Shelly’s health and dragging the fight out. Focus everything on Pranky first.
Once Pranky is down, Shelly has no way to recover and takes full damage from your Grass, Lightning, or Ice attacks. Finish it off and the Challenge is yours.
Lead with a Break-applying Aniimo like Geoclaw or Blazen on Pranky so it is staggered before it can heal.
Pathfinder Rematch (Level 42)
After the first clear, Sarah offers a Pathfinder Rematch at Level 42 with a larger, four-Aniimo roster. Grass covers every creature here, so a Grass-focused team is the cleanest answer, with Ice and Lightning filling in.
| Aniimo | Level | Role |
|---|---|---|
 Piopiota | 42 | Support |
 Sherro | 42 | DPS |
 Erlath | 42 | Regen |
 Luminelle (Rainstorm Form) | 42 | Support |
Luminelle in its Rainstorm Form takes 2.56x damage from its weakness, so hitting it with the right element melts it quickly. Erlath regenerates health and Piopiota supports the team, so clear them before they stack up value.
