Use Blinding Flash or the Lantern to highlight nearby points of interest. It can provide clues about what you might be missing or where to go, and show clues for a puzzle solutions or a hidden items.

Some Quests Need Time to Pass

Some quests require you to pass time. If you need to wait within the same day, you can usually press the Pass Time button that appears on the right side of the screen.

Some quests require you to come back after a few days. To do this, rest to pass time and complete other activities in the meantime.

How to Pass Time

Unlock Fast Travel Points

Activate and unlock fast travel Abyss Nexus points as soon as possible, as some quests require you to travel back and forth between different areas. This saves you a lot of time from traveling the great distances.

How to Fast Travel

Do Side Content if Bosses Get Too Hard

Some main story bosses can be very tough and be too hard to beat. If you are stuck, it is best to step back and complete side content to get stronger. Improve your gear and unlock more skills before coming back in the future.
