Pillar of the Winds
| 1 |
 To reach the Pillar of the Winds, fast travel to Moonahan and head east, then go north behind the mountain. Follow the path down and go past the Swamp Shrine, and you should reach the Pillar of the Winds southeast of it. |
|---|---|
| 2 |
 Enter the Pillar of the Winds and head to the outer stairs. Take them and keep climbing the exterior sets of stairs until you reach the top. |
| * |
 If you want to loot items, you can start with the interior stairs, but to progress the story, the exterior stairs are the way to go. |
| 3 |  At the top, there will be a boss battle against the Lumpfather. A good strategy is to keep a dedicated healer, such as the Princess of Moonbrooke, since the Lumpfather attacks twice each turn. |
| 4 |  After defeating the Lumpfather, take the stairs ahead and claim the Windbreaker. If you don’t plan to loot or explore the Pillar any further, you can fast travel to Moonbrooke afterward and head toward the Dragon's Horn. |

| 4F |  ・Magical Skirt |
| 5F |  ・Wind Sickle Scroll |

Here are all the items you can get on each floor of the Pillar. Every floor has some valuable items you can pick up, except for the sixth floor, which is just a room of stairs.
Dragon's Horns South Tower
| 1 |
 Head to Dragon’s Horn by going west of Moonbrooke. It’s a long journey, so feel free to stop at the Oasis first to rest and gather more weapons and armor before continuing your trip to the tower. |
|---|---|
| 2 |
 Enter the tower and make your way to the top. The South Tower has six floors, and the path is straightforward. Just follow the stairs on the map and you’ll reach the peak in no time. |
| * |
 Be careful when approaching the hole in the center, especially if you’re already high up. You can fall through it and end up back on the first floor! |
| 3 |
 Approach the top center of the peak on the open ledge, and use the Windbreaker to reach the North Tower. |

Here are all the items you can get on each floor of the Pillar. Every floor has some valuable items you can pick up, except for the sixth floor, which is just a room of stairs.
Dragon's Horns North Tower
| 1 |
 You can start exploring the North Tower, but this is completely optional. However, there is a key item here, so if you want to get it in advance, head to the third floor and get the Celestial Skein! |
|---|
Rippleport
| 1 |
 Upon reaching Rippleport, head to the port just north of town and talk to the mayor. He’ll point you toward how to get your ship! |
|---|---|
| 2 |
 Leave the town and head to the mountain north of it. Be prepared, as this leads to the next boss battle, so make sure to get everything you need in Rippleport before leaving. |
| 3 |
 Up ahead, you'll face the Twisted Sister and Mummy Dearest. They'll be accompanied by two Gremlins, and a good strategy is to target the weaker ones first before focusing on the others. Defeat them to progress. |
| 4 |
 Report back to the mayor and stay at the inn afterward. The next day, your ship will be up and ready for you to use! |
| * |
 If you have enough medals, feel free to take a detour to the Isle of the Monarch of Medals. You can exchange your Mini Medals here if you've collected enough and even change names if you'd like. ▶ All Mini Medal Locations |
| * |
 Now that you have the ship, the world has opened up and you're free to go anywhere that you please. However, certain areas have high-level enemies that you may not be prepared for, and it's recommended to visit the next story locations in the following order: Dragonlord's Castle has a dungeon that serves as a great training ground for leveling up. Burrowell can come next, and take Beran last, as no area in that part of the story is useful for leveling up. |

List of All Monsters and Enemies
Lumpfather
|
|
| Recommended Level |
|---|
| Level 15 |
The Lumpfather attacks twice each turn, so a good strategy is to have two dedicated attackers while assigning one member to focus on the party’s recovery. The Princess of Moonbrooke is a good choice for the healer role, while the Prince of Midenhall and the Prince of Cannock can serve as your main sources of damage.
Twisted Sister, Mummy Dearest, and the Gremlins
|
|
| Recommended Level |
|---|
| Level 18 |
You can focus on the Gremlins first since they each have around 200 HP, which you can easily take down with two to three attacks. Target the Twisted Sister next, as it’s the only one that can use Heal. Leave Mummy Dearest for last, but make sure you have an item or spell that can cure paralysis if you choose to deal with it at the end.
