Information

Note: this is entirely information that I’m getting from the data, it could be inaccurate/incomplete!

Seren is a level 275 boss and requires 200 Authentic Force. You can enter once per day and clear it once per week. There seems to be two phases. 

The first phase has a special mechanic where if you get hit by Seren’s attacks, the gauge on the screen will fill up. When it’s full, you will be stunned for 5 seconds.

Phase 1 takes place in the Cernium Royal Palace Main Hall.

Seren’s second phase has 500% defense. She also has 4 forms, each with its own animations and BGM. It seems that she can switch between them during the fight and the BGM will switch accordingly and seamlessly.

Phase 2 takes place in the World’s Boundary map, from the Borderless patch in the Glory update! The map will also change based on Seren’s form.
