Wolf Bout

The Wolf Bout is Blanca's sidequest. At the beginning of the game, Ernest introduces him to the contest. He gets a card. Each defeated wolf leaves a pawprint. Ultimately Blanca gets a new or upgraded Manifestation. After three pawprints fill up one row, Blanca can return to Ernest to get a special prize.

Jerome

Element: Water

Found in: Florence

Note: Jerome's Physical Attacks induce Seal, which can be a bit of a setback in the battle.

Henri

Element: Earth

Found in: Sapientes Gladio Italian Headquarters, after beating Janus

Quotes:

(Before fighting): They used to call me "the old tiger." I won't go down easily, you know!

(Defeat): Phew. Very impressive. Maybe I'm getting too old for this.

Philippe

Element: Dark

Found in: St. Margarite's Island, encountered automatically

Note: Philippe's Physical Attack induces Mental Break, which will damage Blanca's MP over time.

R-3

Element: Light

Found in: Gallery of the Dead

Note: Necros's Physical Attack induces Paralysis, which would end Blanca's Wolf Bout without a Bhodi Bracelet.

Maya, Mash, and Martega

Elements: Light, Wind, and Dark

Found in: Domremy, talk to one of the villagers and head back into the surrounding forest

Note: Take down each of them one at a time, so they will not combo attack each time. They will induce Seal, Mental Break, and Poison.

Carven

Element: Earth

Wolfman

Element: Wind
