Defeat Father Kwismas
Infantiphagia
Father Kwismas is never invulnerable, but he kills in one hit the character in contact with him and heals in the process. Suk'kiddy helps him get you there: it pulls from 3 cells, in a line, at infinite range. Never stay lined up with him.

The three-step strategy against Father Kwismas
Monsters first. Eliminate the monsters quickly: the order doesn't matter. Meanwhile, watch out for Father Kwismas's pull. Every attempt to remove his MP gives him 5 RNG for one turn: he only has 2 MP, but counts on his spells to come to you.
Kill him in one turn. Alone, the ideal is to eliminate him in one turn, before Kwismazard Pudding reassembles him. He only heals at very low HP: you can remove half of his life in one turn, then the other half the next turn. Hit with Earth or Neutral, his only weak elements.
If he splits. Once reassembled, he splits in two: the legs keep the name Father Kwismas and half of his HP, the torso becomes Half Father Kwismas. Hit the legs: their death ends the fight. They keep the pull and the instant kill in melee.
The second phase
At very low HP, Father Kwismas heals fully and becomes Vulnerable. On his next turn, Dichotomy makes him sacrifice half of his HP to summon Half Father Kwismas, to whom he transfers Liming and Trak'kiddy. No need to hit the torso, which is only a summon.
Half Father Kwismas pushes back 6 cells in melee with Catch'kiddy and, every 4 turns, Wrapping turns a character into a gift for 2 turns: -1 MP, -4 AP and Weakened, but they can still play.
Trak'kiddy's gifts
Trak'kiddy summons a random gift out of four. Stuk'kiddy poisons or removes one AP or MP, and can pull in a line; Chop'kiddy removes 2 MP in a line; Pop'Kiddy places a trap that removes agility. Prez' Ent gives 150 power to all monsters every turn: it's the one to kill if it appears.

Preparing your run through the Kwismas Cavern
A medium-difficulty dungeon for teams of level 100 to 110 that play at range. People come here for Little Father Kwismas, the achievements and the Great Kwismas Gift. You must have beaten the Itzting from the first Kwismas dungeon.
How to enter the Kwismas Cavern
The entrance is on Kwismas Island, in Kwismas Land, at , where Hector Kwismas starts the quest. Three ways to open it: a Kwismas Cavern Key (consumed), the keyring if it is registered there, or automatic group search.
Crafting the Kwismas Cavern Key
It is crafted at a handyman, from a Kwismas Cavern Key Mould. Little Father Kwismas gives one at the end of the dungeon, and during the event, Harry Kwismas's repeatable quests also give some.

Which team to bring against Father Kwismas
Ranged damage. Father Kwismas kills in melee: the whole team must be able to hit from afar. Don't count on permanent melee, even against the monsters, which push and remove AP and MP.
Earth and Neutral. Father Kwismas resists Air, Fire and Water at 40%. An Earth or Neutral character finishes him off much more easily in one turn; Fire is still useful against the two Snowmen.
Burst damage. Killing him in one turn avoids the whole second phase. Save your boosts for the turn when he's alone, or cut his life in half over two turns.
The comfortable classes. Classes that hit hard at range are the most comfortable. The Pandawa helps with the Statue achievement by moving allies, and classes that push at range keep Father Kwismas away from the group.
The six achievements of the Kwismas Cavern
The base achievement gives 5,343,000 XP and 2 Great Kwismas Gift. Chrono, First and Special give 8,014,500 XP, Statue 10,686,000 XP and Duo 16,029,000 XP. Chrono and First are played with the same strategy: kill Father Kwismas fast.

Chrono
Defeat all the monsters in fewer than 9 turns. Use the basic strategy again, without losing a turn: monsters quickly, then Father Kwismas in one turn, to avoid the second phase.
First
Father Kwismas must be finished off first. Get rid of him by turn 2. Boost yourself as much as possible on turn 1, then kill him in one turn, before he can reassemble.
Statue
Allied fighters must end their turn on the same cell they started it on. It all comes down to the starting placement: far enough from Father Kwismas that he can neither pull you nor kill you in melee. A Pandawa can move allies without failing the achievement. MP removal and ranged pushes stop him from advancing.
Special: All I Want for Kwismas
Allies must finish off Half Father Kwismas without dealing damage to Father Kwismas once he enters the Parted state. The challenge fails if Father Kwismas is finished off before entering this state. Kill all the monsters first, then attack Father Kwismas, leaving him about 40% of his HP, so that he splits at the start of his next turn. Then kill Half Father Kwismas without touching the legs as long as the torso is alive.
Duo
Two characters maximum, fewer than 20 turns. Nothing special: any composition works, with the basic strategy.
