* NintendoHard: The bosses require the player to be attentive to buffing and debuffing if they want to survive, and they will even adjust their behavior strategically based on what ailments they're inflicted with. This is a lot harder to deal with in the [[EarlyGameHell early part]] of the game when there are fewer characters to work with.

* DifficultySpike: The Sepulcher is pretty tough, especially when the party gets split up, but the Western Tower is the most commonly cited. Even the regular encounters are a definite step up from the previous dungeon, and they can utterly demolish you if you aren't careful.

* ThatOneLevel: The Sepulcher might not have the toughest enemies in the game, but completing it is still fairly difficult. The dungeon locks the player in and cannot be re-entered upon completion, meaning there's a lot of missable content like the flowers for potions and Astra's best sword. After some events, the party will be split and will have a much harder time dealing with enemies until they reunite.
