Mana Confrontations in Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories and the Envisioned Land are optional battles that put you against extremely powerful monsters. You can treat them as bosses or challenging encounters that the game throws to invoke a momentary rise in difficulty.

While they are somewhat challenging to deal with in normal difficulty, the real challenge is noticeable when you fight them in Atelier's highest difficulty: Very Hard. You'll see what the difficulty will be before you enter a confrontation.

To start these encounters, you just need to follow the red lines. They'll take you to boulder-like objects, which you must then interact with. You'll be hit by a confirmation box with the text "Commence Rift Scan?". Select "Yes" when you're ready to enter the confrontation. Make sure to ready up before you begin the encounter. Heal your party and yourself with bandages and make sure you're in the best condition to take this fight and conquer it.
