Nottagen

1 Travel to the Shrine of Mysteries and interact with the gray pedestal behind the three blue pedestals. Assemble the Gray Fragments to form a Gray Tablet to teleport you to Nottagen.
2 Head west to the town of Nottagen. You can stop at the Wooded Hill along the way, so that it is easier to fast travel there later on.
3
When you enter Nottagen, two Cheeky Devils will attack. These are regular enemies, so defeat them as normal to proceed.
4 After defeating the Cheeky Devils, head to the well northwest. A cutscene will occur and you will automatically teleport inside of the well. At this point, there are many monsters in the town, so you can postpone exploring it until later.
5 Once you enter the well, talk to the nun in front of you. She will tell you the current state of the town.
6 Exit the well and head north towards the mansion of the town.
7 Go up the stairs at the back to reach the second floor. Talk to the NPC in the bathtub to start a boss fight.
8 Moostapha uses only physical attacks, so cast Blunt to reduce his physical damage and use Kabuff to increase the defense of all party members.
9 After defeating Moostapha, go down to the first floor of the mansion for a cutscene. Exit the building for another cutscene.
10 Head west and enter the equipment store through the back door and retrieve the Seed of Magic. Exit the town and go back to the teleporter to return to the present era.

Nottagen (Present)

1 Once you enter to the present era, use the Magic Carpet or Skystone and head northwest to reach the Nottagen region.
2 Head west to enter the ruins. When you enter it, a cutscene will occur and you will have to travel back to the past.
3 Travel to the Shrine of Mysteries and examine the gray pedestal behind the red pedestals to head back to Nottagen in the past.

Nottagen (Part 2)

1
Go back to the town to find it infested with green thorns. Examine and defeat the thorn at the east side of the northern mansion. Note that you do not need to defeat all the thorns in the town to proceed to the next objective.
2
After defeating the thorn, enter the narrow path that it was previously blocking to reach the well at the back side of the mansion.
3
The well contains several thorns but you do not need to defeat them. Head towards the hole in the wall to enter the Nottagen Cavern.

Nottagen Cavern

1
Once you enter the Nottagen Cavern, collect items as you go and head to the very back. Collect the Mini Medal from the treasure chest northwest of the Underground Level 3.
2
Once you reach the back of Underground Level 3, you will fight the Malign Vine. The boss summons thorns in battle, so use area-of-effect attacks to defeat them all at once. Use Blunt to reduce Malign Vine's physical attack damage and Kabuff to raise the defense of all party members.
3 After defeating Malign Vine. Use Zoom to fast travel back to Nottagen or Wooded Hill. Head to the teleport to return to the present.
4 Once you reach present day Nottagen, a cutscene will occur. After that, head back to the Shrine of Mysteries and return to Nottagen in the past.

Nottagen (Part 3)

1
Once you arrive in Nottagen in the past, enter the northern mansion and talk to the man called Buddy inside. Leave the mansion to activate a cutscene.
2
Once you arrive in Nottagen in the past, enter the northern mansion and talk to the man called Buddy inside. Leave the mansion to activate a cutscene.
3
Talk to the townspeople gathering at the center of the square. Choose "No" for the dialogue option for the best ending of this questline.

Choosing "No" restores Nottagen in the present era and you do not need to fight Wiggles.

Choosing "Yes" causes two outcomes: If Wiggles defeats the party in battle, Nottagen remains as a town in the present. However, if the party defeats Wiggles, Nottagen will be destroyed and becomes a ruins in the present. Some items, except for the Mini Medal and the trophy "Worst. Town. Ever.", become missable when the town turns into ruins.
4 If you chose "Yes", head to the northern mansion and interact with Wiggles to start the boss fight.

If you chose "No", talk to Buddy in the northern mansion to allow Wiggles to escape.
5 This additional step only appears if you chose "No" in the previous dialogue option. Head to the Wooded Hill east of the town and talk to Buddy. Note that you cannot use Zoom spell at this time, so you will have to walk towards the location.

After talking to Buddy, you will automatically return to the mansion. Once you leave, defeat the Worm of Woe in the battle.
6 After defeating the first Worm of Woe, three more will appear in town. Defeat the three Worms of Woe that have the exclamation mark above them.
7 Head inside the mansion and defeat the Worm of Woe. Head outside after for a cutscene. Once the cutscene is over, exit the town and head to the teleporter to return to the present. Use Zoom to travel to Nottagen in the present era.

Nottagen (Present Part 2)

1 Once you arrive at present day Nottagen, talk to the nun in front of the church. After that, talk to the woman on the second floor of the northern mansion to complete the questline.

If you chose "Yes" in the previous dialogue option, only a Wandering Bard will appear in the Ruines of Nottagen. Talk to him and his monster friend to complete the questline.
2 Examine the sparkle just before the well northwest of the town to collect a Mini Medal.

If you choose "Yes" in the previous dialogue option, this Mini Medal remains on the same located near the dead tree.
3
Head to Wooded Hill and investigate the large hole to get a Mini Medal.
