|---|---|
| 2 |  Upon entering, a cutscene will trigger. Go to your bed afterward and rest for the night. |
| 3 |  The following day, head downstairs to speak with your group. Viktor, Sierra, Nanami, and Kahn will be required to join your party, leaving you with one open slot to choose a character of your preference. ▶︎ How to Change Party and Formation Strategy |
| 4 |  Once you're ready, leave Crom Village and travel east to the Tinto Mines. |

| 6 |  Keep pushing through the mines until you come across two chests on the right, containing a Full Helmet and a Stone of Magic Protection. |
| 7 |  Turn left and keep going until you reach a chest above containing a Master's Garb. Use the sloped gray surface to slide down and continue east to the next area. |
| 8 |  Push forward until you cross a stone bridge. Underneath the second stone bridge, you'll find Old Book Vol. 9 and Window Set #5 in two chests. After looting them, take the stone bridge and continue through the mines. |
| 9 |  This next area is larger than usual, and you can use the slides to backtrack when needed. Just south from where you entered, you can obtain a Silver Collar and Mega Medicine. from two chests. |
| 10 |  Use the rightmost slide, then slide down to the right again. From there, head southwest to find a Double-Strike Rune in a chest. You will also come across Mazus, but you cannot recruit him yet at this moment. |
| 11 |  Head north, and you'll find a Journeyman Orb to save your game. Just above it, you can obtain Star Earrings in a chest, while the slide to the right of the orb will lead you to a Wind Hat in another chest. ▶︎ How to Save Progress |
| 12 |  From the Journeyman Orb, take the slide directly below and enter the passage to the next area. |
| 13 |  Push the Wooden Crate to fill the gap in the path up north. Once the Wooden Crate is in place, head southwest and cross the gap using the crate. |
| 14 |  Prepare for an upcoming boss battle by making sure your party is fully healed and properly equipped. When you're ready, proceed north to face the Stone Golem. |
| 15 |  Defeat the Stone Golem! The boss is weak to lightning, so use lightning-based attacks and spells to take it down while maintaining your party's health with heals. ▶︎ Stone Golem Boss Guide |
| 16 |  After defeating the Stone Golem, continue into the mines until you reach the mine shaft. Head east and use the elevator to descend to the lower level. |
| 17 |  From there, move southeast until you find another elevator. Take it up to return to the mine’s entrance in Tinto City. |
| 1 |  Upon returning Tinto City, make your way northwest toward the church. Be careful, as you will be fighting Zombies along the way. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Before continuing, make sure your party is fully prepared for a boss battle. Once ready, enter the church and take the door on the left into the chapel to confront Neclord. |
| 3 |  Defeat Neclord once and for all! The boss is weak to Holy magic, but have Viktor attack first before using Holy spells to take him down. ▶︎ Neclord Boss Guide |
| 4 |  After defeating Neclord, Tinto City returns to normal. Head to the city center to watch a cutscene. |
| 5 |  During your conversation with Jess, choose "Let's fight... together" to have him join your party. Refusing his help will lock you out from recruiting all 108 characters, so it's best to accept. |
| * | At this point, Gijimu, Lo Wen, Koyu, Marlowe Cody, and Hauser will also join your party. Additionally, you can obtain a Mother Earth Rune from Gustav and a Sunbeam Rune from the northern house in Crom Village. |
| * |  Before returning to Headquarters, you can recruit Georg. Head to Tinto Pass and take the lower path to find a campfire. Speak with Georg to have him join your party. Georg is Level 60 when he joins your party, making him a powerful asset for the rest of the game. |
| 1 |  Head back to Headquarters and report back to your group in the Great Hall. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  After the cutscene, go to your room, now located three levels above, and rest for the night. When you wake up, take some time to explore the castle and interact with your recruits to learn more about their personal stories. |
| 3 |  When you return to your room, you will be ambushed by Lucia in a boss battle. The fight will end after a few turns, but if you manage to defeat her before then, you'll receive 20,000 Potch as a reward. ▶︎ Lucia Boss Guide |
| 4 |  After the battle with Lucia, return to the Great Hall. Shu will then give you the option to participate in the upcoming Army Battle or skip it entirely by waiting at Headquarters. Your choice does not impact the story. However, if you're rushing to move forward, you can select "I'll wait here." instead. |
| * |  If you choose to take part in the Army Battle, join any army and proceed as usual. It’s a fairly manageable Army Battle to win. ▶︎ Army Battle Guide |
| * | If you decide to wait in the Great Hall, a messenger will constantly bring you updates from the battlefield. You can choose to make a decision yourself or leave it to Apple. Either way, the outcome remains the same. |
| 5 |  Once the Army Battle is over, you'll arrive at the entrance of Greenhill City. Shin will automatically join your party, while the rest of your lineup is up to you. However, it's recommended to bring Luc and Kahn for your next journey. |
| 1 |  When you're ready, head to the narrow passage on the right to enter Greenhill Forest. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Move forward through Greenhill Forest and take the right path to find chests containing Winged Boots and a Dream Robe. Be ready to fight enemies along the way! ▶︎ Greenhill Forest Dungeon Guide |
| 3 |  Return to the main path and continue left. Take another left turn to obtain a Stone of Skill from a chest. |
| 4 |  Proceed northeast until you encounter Lucia once again. This time, she will be accompanied by Karayans, leading to another boss battle. |
| 5 |  After defeating Lucia, proceed southwest. Keep pressing forward until you arrive at Teresa's cabin. |
| 1 |  From there, head south until you reach the back entrance of Green Hill Academy. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Exit the academy through the front door. Just outside, you’ll find a woman who can help you rest and a man on the opposite side who allows you to save your game. Make sure to check their services to heal up and prepare for an upcoming boss battle. ▶︎ Greenhill City Guide |
| 3 |  Once you're ready, make your way south through Greenhill City. Keep moving until you come across Yuber in the streets. |
| 4 |  Defeat the Bone Dragon! The boss is weak to wind, Holy, and shield attacks, so use spells to take it down. ▶︎ Bone Dragon Boss Guide |
| 5 |  After defeating the Bone Dragon, a cutscene will play, and you'll return to Headquarters speaking with your group. Decide to go to Muse City during your conversation with Apple. |
| * | Before moving forward, it's a good idea to recruit more members into your party. In Radat Town, you can recruit Lebrante if you have a Celadon Urn in your inventory. At the docks, Simone will join you if you give him a Rose Brooch, which can be purchased from the Item Store in Banner Village. |
| * | In South Window City, Gantetsu will agree to join if your full party has a combined STR of at least 320. |
| * | If you already have over 80 characters in your party, you can also recruit Bob in the Kobold District of Two River City. |
| * | In Kuskus Town, talk to Tessai with Viktor in your party. You need at least 101 characters before he agrees to join. Once recruited, Tessai will serve as your Blacksmith at Headquarters. |
| * | In Greenhill City, speak to Jude in the Forge Classroom at Greenhill Academy, and he will ask you to bring him Clay. You can find Clay by talking to a man in Forest Village. Once you bring it back, Jude will join your party. You can also recruit Emilia at the academy's reception and Pico at the city's Inn. ▶︎ How to Get Clay |
| * | In Tinto City, visit the Armor Shop to recruit Alberto, but only if you have already recruited Annallee and Pico. |
| 6 |  After speaking with your party at Headquarters, another cutscene will trigger, and you’ll find yourself back at the dormitories of Greenhill Academy. |
| 7 |  Leave the dormitory, and you’ll see Lucia entering the academy. Follow her inside and head toward the back entrance, the same one you used to enter. Interact with the bust there to open the hidden door. |
| 8 |  Go outside and head north where you'll encounter Jowy, leading to a cutscene. |
| 9 |  Return to the dormitory and talk to Apple. Tell her that you’re ready to liberate Muse City, leading to an Army Battle. |
| 10 |  During the Army Battle, focus your attacks on Lucia’s units while ignoring the Highland Army, as they will retreat after a few turns. |
| 1 |  Once the battle ends, a cutscene will play and you will arrive in Muse City. Head north and enter City Hall, where you'll face the Golden Wolf. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Defeat the Golden Wolf! The boss has no weakness, so focus on unleashing your strongest attacks and spells while maintaining your party's health with heals. ▶︎ Golden Wolf Boss Guide |
| 3 |  After defeating the boss, multiple Golden Wolves will spawn throughout the city. Don't bother fighting them and instead escape the city from the entrance. Once you leave Muse City, you’ll return to Headquarters. ▶︎ Rockaxe Castle to Tenzan Pass |
