| - This first series of puzzle-based stages is the shortest and most straightforward of the three Finals Matches that Isaac must compete in. It has four stages, and runs from left to right. Isaac's opponent is Azart, who will take one minute and five seconds to complete his side of the stages, exactly the amount of time you would take if you moved as fast as you can without any illegal assistance from your cheering Adept companions and going out of your way to collect all three treasure chests along the path, just like he will. If you go through these stages as fast as possible with all shortcuts exploited and intentionally avoiding out-of-the-way chests, the quickest amount of time you can reach the end of the match is an astounding sixteen seconds. With this in mind, you should definitely take the time to take the contents of all the chests in this match because there is practically no risk of you arriving at the end too late. Successfully exploiting all the shortcuts here and opening all three chests in this match, you should make it to the end in under forty seconds. The best setup for the four Adepts for this first Match is to arrange Djinn until Isaac is either in the Savage class or the Ninja class, and Ivan is in at least the Seer class so he can use the Growth Psynergy, and Mia is able to use the Douse Psynergy when equipped with the Douse Drop from Mogall Forest. Then, have Garet cheer in stage 1 and use his Move Psynergy, have Mia cheer in stage 2 and use her Douse Psynergy, and have Ivan cheer in stage 3 and use his Growth Psynergy. At the arena at the end of the match, the equipment rewards are an Iron Shield (+20 Defense) for the combatant that arrives first and Padded Gloves (+2 Defense) for the later one. The one-on-one "boss" encounter with Azart begins when both you and he arrive at the central arena.
