He can exploit either the creature's mortal weakness or personal antithesis. His unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren't already.

"Did you know that Varian's schemes go beyond mere political intrigue and Pathfinder missions? He provides arms, coin, and respite to rebellious forces within Cheliax, hoping to unseat the House of Thrune. He has even gone so far as to take a former knight of the Glorious Reclamation into his household as a protector and comrade in arms. In addition to his role as a venture-captain in the Pathfinder Society, Count Varian Jeggare is a well-respected and influential noble in Chelaxian society. Pathfinders in Egorian can always find refuge in his home, Greensteeples, and his halfling staff is well equipped to keep them hidden or heal the worst of their ailments under the leadership of his majordomo, Benedet." a bunny-looking poppet enters with a dramatic reveal of himself from among the other stuff that he is resting.

I have Magical Mentor Boon for Kosh.
Magical Mentor boon:
While working with less experienced Pathfinder allies, you provide key spellcasting insights that augment your colleagues’ magic. Any PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours can prepare one additional spell of their highest-level spell slot or cast one additional spell of their highest-level spell slot. When casting spells of a magical tradition that is the same as the tradition you use for spellcasting, the affected PC also increases the Level Bump’s modifier to spell DCs to 2.
Normal: A Level Bump increases a PC’s spell DCs by 1, and it does not grant any additional spells prepared or spell slots.
Special: A PC can only benefit from two mentor boons.
Done with Macros and Slides. Fine with friendly fire as long as I will not be Dying. I have two glyphs to share, one for Kosh and another for Random:1d4 ⇒ 2 Fiddlesticks.

"I remember now!" Nanoc exclaims as if he had a eureka. "You see these gears in the shape of an eye, it is related to Azlanti god. I think it starts with the letter A," he thinks hard.
"It is on the tip of my tongue." he says before sticking out his tongue for real to check it out.
Whether he remembers it or not, he tells the group, "This wayfinder seems an exact fit to this circular pocket." He points out the circular pocket at the center of the eye.

"The water, it is so calm that one can easily row it." Nanoc observes and then volunteers to row the boar towards their intended location.

Upon their arrival at their destination, he investigates the details of the hatch. "Hmmm... Not sure if this is familiar to me." Religion +6 (add +1 if his second lead, Bruzovi, counts for this one)
Checking on the wayfinder from Muesello, "Look! The beam is now pointing into this socket!" he points it out to them with awe in his face. He then pulls out his wayfinder and finds it is acting the same way.
"Check your wayfinders and see what happens to them! This is intriguing! What could this wayfinder be?"

"Everyone, this is Conan. Conan, meet the Pathfinders for this mission and Venture-Captain Smine." Nanoc introduces him to the others, while the old man profusely bows to each of them.
"Conan has a background in engineering stuff, he might be helpful for our mission!" he boasts to them, while Conan is slightly embarrassed, scratching his bald head for being introduced like that.

"Well, that is interesting." Nanoc tells the venture-captain and examines the wayfinder further. The wayfinder will be Nanoc's first lead to pursue.
"Are you going to send us there with your ship?" he asks. "And any dangers we might encounter?"The uncharted island Burozi will be his second lead to pursue.

Nanoc's eyes widen as he sees Muesello's Wayfinder pulsating. "Mine can't do that!" he exclaims in surprise to the venture-captain. Quickly, he checks his own Wayfinder, only to find its needle pointing westward. Casting a glance at the sky, he confirms that it isn't indicating north.
"Okay, that's peculiar," he mutters, lightly tapping his Wayfinder in an attempt to reset its direction. However, it stubbornly continues to point westward. Observing the ruby-red light pulse from Muesello's Wayfinder pointing in the same direction, Nanoc realizes they are both indicating westward.
"Would you mind explaining what's happening to my Wayfinder and yours?" he asks, a hint of confusion in his voice.

Nanoc raises an eyebrow after being shown with a wayfinder. He also reveals his and compares it alongside Muesello's.
"So this is your important discovery? A wayfinder? Every Pathfinder agent knows what a wayfinder is. What's the big deal?" he says while waving a hand of dismissal.

"Greetings, Venture-Captain Muesello!" a tall man tips his dark green top hat and introduces himself. "I am Nanoc Evitceted, an archaeologist, at your service!"
Nanoc flexes his three-foot long well-polished wooden walking cane for aesthetic. His top hat is coupled with a free-flowing moss green dueling cape, in addition to his padded armor and long pants of the same color but different shades, accented with dark green well-polished leather shoes. His all-shade-of-green outfit is accessorized with some of his tools and weapons. He has been a fan of wearing everything in almost one color but different shades ever since.
He checks his Esoteric Wayfinder, as if looking for direction before snapping it close. "I just came from Absalom, but before that, I was in Arcadia. The journey is perilous but we were able to convince the people there to help us with our mission." he tells the venture-captain with a wink, not elaborating on the details.
"Now, tell me. What have you just recently discovered? I just received instruction from the Grand Lodge to look for you but they did not give details about the mission with you."

Nanoc has Diplomacy +0.
"Greetings, highly-esteemed Warden! Yes, we know you, thanks to Sweeper and her friends here. We are here to bring forward our cause. First, we are not from here and want to get out, and second, Sweeper and friends are more convinced than ever that there is more to see and explore outside this four-walled space. And I hope you can also see that if you will allow us to tell our tales and all." DC 18 Diplomacy to Aid:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18

Nanoc signals them with a decisive stop gesture, his expression oozing confidence. "Allow me to demonstrate my expertise," he declares arrogantly, swiftly producing his tools and skillfully tackling the challenge of the locked door.

"Well, it is no use to stay here, if your place is breaking down bit by bit, even its magic." Nanoc comments after quickly inspecting the area they are in.

But his words sound unconvincing. "And yeah, we are not prisoners. We just so happened to be, I don't know, turned miniature, and we are now trapped here as well." he sounds complaining now.
"But seriously, you won't be getting any retirement benefits if this place breaks down. Can't you feel it? Whatever magic holding it together, it is weakening."

"I would love to affix that owlbear claw on my shortbow by you, if you don't mind." Nanoc perks up at the idea of his weapon being affixed with a talisman.
