Things will get rather interesting from this point onwards, as the final switch will kick start a boss fight that you need to win.

It will complete the circle and activate the Ruin Garder boss fight. Switch to a bow user and attack the glowing weak points present on the boss to stun him and eventually subdue it. This strategy will make the boss fight significantly easier as it paralyzes the boss completely.
