| 2 |  Approach Ymir's throne (a prompt should appear) and interact with it to reveal a secret passage. Climb the ladder down to reach the Finger Ruins of Miyr. ⓘ If Ymir is still on the throne, check if he has any dialogue left to exhaust, rest at the Site of Grace, then check the throne again. |
| 3 |  At the bottom, make any last preparations before going halfway to the end of the Finger Ruins of Miyr where Swordhand of Night Anna will start the invasion. |
