List of Contents
| 1 |  From Kuskus Town, travel south to reach South Window City. ▶︎ Kuskus Town Guide |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Upon arriving at South Window City, a cutscene will play, where you'll reunite Viktor. ▶︎ South Window City Guide |
| 3 |  Head to the Inn located on the west side of the city. There, you’ll meet Flik and Viktor again. After a conversation, both characters will join your party. |
| 4 |  Go to the City Hall in the northeastern part of the city. Speak with Granmeyer to trigger another cutscene. Afterward, Freed Y. will join your party. |
| * |  Take some time to prepare for the journey to North Window Village! Stock up on items, upgrade your gear, and adjust your party as needed. You can also return to the Inn to switch Flik for Eilie in your party. |
| 5 |  Once ready, leave South Window City and head northwest to reach North Window Village. |
| 6 |  When you arrive at North Window Village, you’ll engage in a battle against Neclord. This fight is unwinnable, so conserve your resources by using only normal attacks until you enter a cutscene. |
| 1 |  After fighting Neclord, leave North Window Village and head south to the Cave of the Wind. Make sure to save your game using the Journeyman Orb outside before entering the cave. ▶︎ How to Save Progress |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Inside the Cave of the Wind, follow the path until you reach a suspicious-looking fork just before the next area. Take the northwest path to find a hidden section containing a chest with a Sun Badge. Be ready to fight enemies along the way! ▶︎ Cave of the Wind Dungeon Guide |
| 3 |  Return to the fork and take the southwest path to proceed. Continue along the trail until you reach another fork. Head left and go up to find a chest with a Fish Badge. |
| 4 |  Head back to the fork and take the right path to advance. Keep going until you reach another split, then take the left path to obtain a Fire Wall from a chest. |
| 5 |  Continue along the right path until you come across an area with large rocks blocking the way. Push the rocks to clear a path forward. |
| 6 |  Push the large rocks to block the gusts of wind so you can safely move west. If you fall, you’ll respawn at the start of the area with the rock positions reset. |
| 7 |  At the end of the path with four large rocks, enter the upper passage to find a section containing three treasure chests and a Mysterious Old Man. The chests hold the Pale Gate Rune, Medicine, and 3,000 Potch. The Old Man can also teleport you back to the cave's entrance. |
| 8 |  Return to the main path and head south through the next area of the cave. Take the south path until you reach a three-way split. Go south to find a chest containing a Stone of Protection, then take the left path to obtain a Half Helmet from another chest. |
| 9 |  Return to the split and head north, then continue northwest to the next area. A cutscene will trigger, introducing Kahn, who will then join your party. |
| 10 |  Prepare for an upcoming boss battle by making sure your party is fully healed and properly equipped. When ready, continue north, follow the path until you see the Celestial Sword waiting for you at the cave's exit. |
| 11 |  Defeat the Celestial Sword! The boss has no weakness, so unleash your strongest attacks, Runes, and spells to take it down efficiently. ▶︎ Celestial Sword Boss Guide |
| 12 |  After defeating the Celestial Sword, Viktor will obtain the sword itself. Exit the Cave of the Wind and return to North Window Village by heading north. |
| 1 |  Upon returning to North Window Village, head north to enter North Window Castle. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Once inside, take the path to the right to find a chest containing a Fire Rune. Be ready to battle enemies along the way! ▶︎ North Window Dungeon Guide |
| 3 |  Backtrack then follow along the left path until you reach the main hall. On the ground level, head to the right side to open a chest containing a Stone of Magic Protection. |
| 4 |  Enter the door on the left and continue following the path until you reach a room with five gargoyle statues. |
| 5 |  Move the misplaced gargoyle statue to the dirt tile to open a hidden door on the upper left. You can also move the gargoyle on the left slightly further to reveal a hidden door in the middle, where you’ll find a treasure chest containing the Darkness Rune. |
| 6 |  Go through the hidden door on the left and follow along the path until you encounter a hallway with candles. |
| 7 |  Light the candles in the bottom row to match the candles in the top row, revealing a hidden door in the middle. Enter the door to claim the Blue Ribbon from the treasure chest. |
| 8 |  When you return to the candle room, the arrangement will reset. Light the unlit candle in the top row to open another hidden door on the right. |
| 9 |  Proceed through the right door to reach the upper level of the castle, where you can collect the Chain Mail and Collar from treasure chests. |
| 10 |  Prepare for a boss battle by ensuring your party is fully healed and equipped. Once ready, continue forward to confront Neclord. |
| 11 |  Defeat Abomination! The boss is weak to fire and Holy magic, so use fire-based attacks and spells, as well as Kahn's Ressurection Rune to take it down. ▶︎ Abomination Boss Guide |
| 12 |  After defeating Abomination, exit the castle. A lengthy cutscene will follow, during which the castle becomes your new Headquarters. You can now also change your party members in the Tavern southwest of the castle. ▶︎ How to Change Party Members |
| 1 |  From North Window Village, head east to Radat Town. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Upon arriving in Radat, visit the house on the eastern side of town and speak with Shu. He will initially reject your offer to join party. ▶︎ Radat Town Guide |
| 3 |  Head to the Tavern to mingle for a while. As you leave the place, Shu will enter and will have another conversation with you. |
| 4 |  Go to the Appraisal Shop located southwest of town and talk to Richmond. You’ll need to pay him 1,500 Potch to gather information about Shu. If you’re short on funds, grind for Potch by battling enemies outside of town. ▶︎ Money Farming Guide |
| 5 |  After paying Richmond, he’ll direct you to the Inn. Head there and proceed to the second floor to trigger a cutscene. |
| 6 |  Make your way to the bridge on the eastern side of town to meet Shu again. |
| 7 |  After speaking with Shu, talk to the Green Villager standing on the left side of the bridge about lowering the watergate. This will lead to a duel with Amada. ▶︎ Amada Duel Guide |
| 8 |  Once Amada is defeated, the watergate will be lowered, allowing safe exploration of the river below. Head to the river to search for the silver coin. After a cutscene, you will find the coin, and Shu will finally join your party. |
| 9 |  Return to Headquarters and head to the Great Hall to initiate a war meeting with your party. |
| 10 |  Before moving forward, save your progress using the Journeyman Orb located just before the Great Hall. Once you're ready, return to the Great Hall to initiate an Army Battle against the Highland Army. |
| 11 |  During the battle, focus your unit on attacking Solon Jhee’s unit. Once his unit is down, you can pretty much win the battle by targeting and eliminating the remaining enemy units. ▶︎ Army Battle Guide |
| 12 |  After claiming victory, a long cutscene will play. Visit the Tavern in Headquarters after and speak to Viktor. |
| 13 |  The next morning, you’ll wake up in your bed. Head back to the Great Hall. Luc, Huan, and Barbara will join your party, and you’ll have the opportunity to rename North Window Castle, so choose a name wisely! ▶︎ Castle Headquarters Guide |
| 1 |  After another night's rest, go to the entrance of Headquarters, where you'll run into Fitcher. Head to the Great Hall to meet him again, and he'll invite you to travel to Two River City. To make the journey, you'll need someone to man the boat for water travel. You can choose either Tai Ho or Amada, but it's recommended to recruit both. |
|---|---|
| * |  To recruit Tai Ho, head back to Kuskus Town and speak with him at the docks. Win 5,000 Potch in a game of Chinchirorin, and both he and Yam Koo will join your party. Be sure to save beforehand to avoid losing too much Potch. ▶︎ Chinchirorin Dice Minigame Guide |
| * |  For Amada, return to the river bridge in Radat Town and talk to him. Defeat Amada in a duel again to have him join your party. |
| * |  Before continuing, you can also recruit Oulan. Talk to the old woman near the southeast entrance of Kuskus Town. Leave and return with an all-female party, then cross the bridge. After a brief event, Oulan will rescue you and can then be recruited. |
| 2 |  Put either Tai Ho or Amada in your party and talk to Shu in the Great Hall at Headquarters. |
| 3 |  Head to the docks below. Use the boat to travel northwest to Lakewest Town. |
| 4 |  Upon arriving at Lakewest Town, Fitcher will give you the Letter of Introduction and leave your party. ▶︎ Kuskus Town Guide |
| * |  You can recruit Taki by speaking to her repeatedly in the house located in the upper left corner of the town. While at the docks, inspect the vegetable basket to obtain a Kindness Rune. ▶︎ Two River City to Greenhill Forest |
