5 Slewse 6 Tower of the Moon

Cantlin

1 Fast travel to Cantlin, or sail to it from Rippleport if you haven’t unlocked it yet.
2 Head to the building west of Cantlin and enter it.

Tantegel

1 Move to Tantegel afterwards and go to the throne room. Speak to the King.

Kol

1 Fast travel to Kol and head to the hot springs northwest of the town.
2 Examine the sparkly spot afterwards to obtain the Faerie Flute.
3 Speak to the Firstborn Protector again outside of town.

Burrowell

1 Head to Burrowell and enter the building east of it.
2 Talk to the Black Sanguini and Roge Fastfinger afterwards.
3 Exit Burrowell to trigger two more cutscenes.

Slewse

1 Head to Slewse or sail to it from the Mermaid’s Sanctuary.
2 Check the marked location on the map, which should be a keyhole to open the Floodgate. Interact with it to do so.

Tower of the Moon

1 Head to the Tower of the Moon from the Mermaid’s Sanctuary. Keep in mind that it’s not recommended to travel there from Slewse as the area is surrounded by poisonous swamps.
2 Go to the middle and defeat the Antlerkazams. You can go all out on them since they don’t have much HP and can be taken down easily.
3 On the first floor, take the stairs on the south side of the room to reach the next floor.
4 On the second floor, take the stairs in the center.
5 On the third floor, do the same and take the nearest stairs in the center.
6 On the fourth floor, go west from the east side to reach the next floor.
7 On the fifth floor, take the nearest stairs instead of the southern one to reach the sixth floor.
8 Finally, go around on the next floor to face the next boss.
9 Defeat the Lunagriff on the same floor. Be sure to prepare for this one by buying several recovery items, preferably higher-grade ones to restore more HP, and assign a dedicated healer since the fight can get tough.
10 Report back to the Black Sanguini after the battle.
