Keep on following the path until a cutscene about Sir Sloan happens.
Near the first save point, you'll see a large enemy called the Hecatoncheir, it doesn't reward much and is a tougher battle than the normal mobs. Focus on defaulting and HP recovery if you wish to fight it. |

After the scene, head north to find the grave. |
| 13 |
Follow the path back to the previous savepoint then take the path eastward then prepare for a boss fight. |

Selene and Dag are the first bosses you'll encounter in Bravely Default 2. Selene and Dag possesses the White Mage and Vanguard classes respectively so taking them out will allow you to have a tank and healer for your party!
How to Beat Selene and Dag
Horten posses the Monk Asterisk. He is also capable of countering physical attacks so relying on Sir Sloan's attacks and your Black Magics is the key to winning the fight!
How to Beat Horten
Adam, as shown in the many trailers, is one of the biggest baddest out there. You simply don't stand a chance right now. This is an unwinnable battle.
The first class you'll obtain in the game (aside from the Freelancer which is the default job). It specializes in black magic and laying waste to enemies using elemental magics.
Black Mage Job Abilities and Best Sub-Jobs
The second job you'll obtain together with the vanguard class. The White Mage is a healing specialist and is a staple job to have in every party. Make sure to have at least one member that specializes in white magic!
White Mage Job Abilities and Best Sub-Jobs
The picture perfect idea of a tank. The Vanguard controls enemy aggro and redirects enemy attacks unto himself. Together with its high HP, defense, and compatibility with heavy armor, it'll take a lot of hits to bring down a Vanguard!
Vanguard Job Abilities and Best Sub-Jobs
A barehanded fighter. The Monk relies on not having equipment to make the most of its damage. It's also capable of unleashing strong attacks at the price of the character's HP. A worthwhile class to master!
