Once you're there, you can get up to where the Fractsidus Follower mobs are by doing a Jump forward > Grapple > Glide > Mid-air Dash > Glide in quick succession, as shown here:
TIP: We recommend using tall Resonators (e.g. Male Rover, Calcharo, Jiyan) when doing this, as small Resonators (e.g. Lingyang, Encore, Verina) might come up short when it comes to making the jump.

What is a Special Enemy and How Do You Defeat Them?
A Special Enemy is a Tacet Discord that glows red, has a fixed level regardless of your SOL3 Level, is incredibly tough to kill, and deals enormous damage with their attacks.
You'll be able to encounter them as you explore the map and they will only respawn once a week after being killed.
You'll need to take full advantage of the Perfect Dodge (as shown above) and Parry mechanics to beat a Special Enemy. However, we recommend dodging more than parrying (especially if you're still a beginner) as failing your parry even once may result in your Resonator taking heavy damage or even one-shotted.
You'll have a much easier time killing a Special Enemy by going into Co-op Mode and hunting them down with other players. We highly recommend doing this since the rewards dropped by Special Enemies are shared among those who participated in the battle.
Despite the risks, Special Enemies are still very much worth hunting, as it's one of the best ways to collect 4★ and even 5★ Echoes for your Resonators, not to mention it'll also help increase your Data Bank Level faster.
