2nd Battle

The real Lleviathan is encountered in the postgame during Quest #39: Follow That Fish!. The Hero returns to Porth Llaffan to visit Jona, who thinks that the mysterious shadow she saw in the sea is the actual Lleviathan himself. She asks for the hero's help in summoning him. Equip a party member with a Watermaul wand, a Flowing dress, and a Silver shield, then head to the Cuddiedig Cliff where Llevithan was previous encountered. Jona performs the ritual and the deity appears, challenging the hero to a battle.

Trivia

• Lleviathan's Japanese name is Nushi-sama (ぬしさま), where ぬし(nushi) means "the Lord" or "god" and さま(sama) is a suffix used for courteous addressing. This is because Lleviathan is worshiped by the inhabitants of Porth Llaffan as the God of Sea.
• The double L in its name is the Welsh Ll sound, owing to the Welsh dialect found in Porth Llaffan.
• Lleviathan is a reference to the Leviathan, a sea monster mentioned in the Jewish Tanakh and Christian Bible. It appears as a metaphor in the Book of Job and as the creature that swallows up Jonah in the titular book, which is played out when Lleviathan swallows Jona Jones before the Hero engages the creature in battle.
