List of Contents
| * |  Before continuing with the story, take the opportunity to recruit more characters. First, travel northwest from Greenhill City to Forest Village to find Wakaba and Tony. |
|---|---|
| * |  Wakaba can be found standing in front of the Armor Shop, while Tony is inside the house on the north side of the village. Talk to both of them to have them join your party. ▶︎ Forest Village Guide |
| * |  Next, from Greenhill City, head east to the Muse-Greenhill Checkpoint to recruit Meg and Gadget. |
| 1 |  When you're ready, travel northeast from Greenhill City to reach the Path to Matilda. |
| 2 |  Upon arriving in the Path of Matilda, head north and take the path behind Badeaux to find a chest containing a Guard Ring. Be ready to fight enemies along the way! Note that you can only recruit Badeaux if you have an animal member in your party. ▶︎ Path to Matilda Dungeon Guide |
| 3 |  Continue forward into the next two areas. You'll find a chest with a Mega Medicine on the left, and if you take the northeast path, you can collect a Dragon Armor. |
| 4 |  Keep moving east until you come across Viki. After speaking with her, she will join your party, unlocking the ability to teleport to previously visited locations from Headquarters. Viki will then teleport you back to Headquarters. Talk to her in the lower right section on the ground floor near the Tablet of Promise and test the fast travel feature by selecting Forest Path (Greenhill-Matilda) as your destination. ▶︎ Fast Travel Guide: How to Teleport |
| 5 |  Once back in the Path to Matilda, head east from where you met Viki and you'll encounter Miklotov. A cutscene will trigger, and you will be brought to Rockaxe Castle. |
| 1 |  Enter Rockaxe Castle and head north to the throne room to speak with Gordeau. ▶︎ Rockaxe Castle Dungeon Guide |
|---|---|
| 2 |  After a cutscene, you can explore the castle or rest for the night. If you decide to sleep, a cutscene will play in which Leknaat speaks to you. |
| 3 |  The next morning, return to the throne room, where the Knights of Matilda are preparing for an Army Battle. You may choose to participate, but regardless of your choice, you will lose the Army Battle. |
| * |  After the Army Battle, you will have the opportunity to do an optional questline to recruit Futch and Humphrey. If you wish to pursue this questline, follow the walkthrough linked below. Otherwise, follow the next steps instead. ▶︎ Humphrey and Futch Quest Walkthrough |
| 4 |  Leave Rockaxe Town and travel southeast toward Highway Village, then continue south to reach the Muse-Matilda Checkpoint. Upon arrival, Miklotov will approach you. |
| 1 |  Head southeast to Muse City, where a cutscene will trigger as you approach. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Enter the city and make your way northwest to Jowston Hill, where another cutscene will play, leading to a battle against Highland Soldiers. |
| 3 |  After defeating them, escape Muse City! Be prepared to fight more Highland Soldiers on your way out. |
| 4 |  Return to Rockaxe Castle and report back to Gordeau in the throne room. |
| 5 |  Following a lengthy cutscene, you will find yourself back at Headquarters. Head to the Great Hall to regroup with your party. |
| 6 |  Afterward, go to the living quarters on the next floor and speak with Pilika to rest for the night. A cutscene will trigger, leading into the next morning. ▶︎ Radat Town to Rokkaku Hamlet |
It's highly recommended that you recruit both Humphrey and Futch before heading to Muse City with Miklotov.
After the events that transpire when you return from Muse City, the Matilda area will be inaccessible until very late in the game and you will be unable to recruit Futch and Humphrey until then.
