Digging Up Secrets of the Past Walkthrough Guide
Gather Info at Eternia Village
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Once you're back in Eternia Village, follow the quest marker and talk to Granny Dumpling, who will tell you the location of Duglas. |
| 2 |  Before heading off to Warren Willow Hollow, talk to Mr. Torgide first so that you can learn more about the Island Bulletin Board. Check back here every now and then so you can check off completed tasks and track what you can work towards next. |
| * | Also, if you haven't already done so before leaving Chapter 1, you can take some time to do other quests and challenges now that you're back. |
Go to Warren Willow Hollow
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Before you proceed any further, it's highly recommended to level up your character, rank up your preferred Combat Life, learn new skills, and upgrade your equipment. The next part of the quest will have you encountering tougher enemies, and, ideally, you're prepared before going in. |
| 2 |  When you're ready, head to the north side of the island and enter Warren Willow Hollow. |
Search Warren Willow Hollow
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Once you're inside, make sure to fully explore the dungeon for any items and treasures you can gather. Don't worry about missing anything since you can always come back later. |
| 2 |  Part way through the dungeon, you will encounter three Jerkish Jackals. Thankfully, Glenn will appear out of nowhere to assist you in this fight. |
| 3 | After they've been defeated, Glenn will leave and you can resume your search for Duglas. |
Search for a Miner
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Continue through the dungeon until you've reached the end. Here you will encounter Meralda, the Miner Life Master, and Duglas, who's been transformed into the Sturdy Wheelbarrow Strangeling. |
| 2 | Before leaving, don't forget to grab anything that you may need from this room. |
Find the Exit
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Even if the objective says to find the exit, and it's implying that there's a hidden way out, you really only need to go back the way you came. |
| 2 |  On the way out, there'll be a short cutscene with Rem and Eternia Ore. This has no bearing on the story at the moment, but it should be something to keep in mind in the future. |
Leave Warren Willow Hollow
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Now that that's over with, you're free to head back and leave Warren Willow Hollow. |
| 2 | The next part of the quest will have you travelling back to the present, but make sure to check back at the Bulletin Board first so that you can turn in any completed tasks. |
Return to the Present
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  When you're ready, fast travel to your Base Camp, where you'll find that a new Guild Office has been erected. |
| 2 |  You'll then be teleported inside, and Kunugi will update you on what's new on the island. While you're here, make sure to talk to everyone in the office so that you're familiar with the new facilities available to you. |
| 3 |  At this point, Kunugi will also become your first Buddy that can help you in combat or when performing tasks. Since she's a Carpenter, she will only be able to help you during the crafting mini-game. |
| 4 |  One other thing to note is that you can talk to Colm in the back room to initiate Multiplayer. If you're looking for other people to play with, then try posting or looking for a room in Game8's Room Sharing Board ▶︎ Room Sharing Board |
Visit the Goddess Statue
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 | When you're ready to continue the main quest, head up to the Goddess Statue. |
| 2 |  Like last time, you'll use the Goddess Statue to revert Duglas back to his human form. However, this time around, you will need to offer 100 Celestia's Gifts for the goddess to do this. |
| 3 | To get Celestia's Gifts to spawn, you will need to develop the island by talking to Cooke. |
Talk to Cooke at the Guild
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Head back to the Guild Office and talk to Cooke, who's manning the desk on your right. |
| 2 | Talk to them and you'll be tasked with building a house for Kunugi as the first step to developing and improving the island. |
Build an Islander House
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 | To build a house for Kunugi, talk to Cooke, and you will begin the Island Construction tutorial. Just follow the steps presented to you until you have control of your character again. |
| 2 |  Once you have the Building Kit, head outside and continue following the tutorial to build the house. You don't have to worry about its placement for now, since you can always relocate it later at the cost of some Dosh. |
| 3 |  After selecting its placement, you'll need to wait for a bit for the building to be constructed. Once you get the notification that it's done, you can select it to unveil the new house. |
Give the House to Kunugi
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Now that you have a Vacant House, return to the Guild Office and talk to Boyle so that you can assign Kunugi to the house. |
Place the Sign and Furniture
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  When you're done assigning Kunugi to her new house, there will be a short cutscene where some of the other members of the crew will give you decorations to put around the base. |
| 2 |  This part of the quest will introduce you to the Craft Mode, which is a more convenient way of building out your island when compared to running around on foot. |
| 3 |  Once you're done putting down all the decorations, Boyle will show you that your Base Camp has its own Bulletin Board, with it's own challenges and rewards. |
Help Douglas Return to Normal
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Now that your base is looking extra spiffy, Celestia's Gifts will start to spawn on the island. Start collecting them so that you can turn Duglas back into a human. |
| 2 |  Alternatively, you can complete some Base Camp Guild Quests so that you can get the Level 2 Reward of 100 Celestia's Gifts, which is exactly enough for the quest. |
| * | Remember to visit your island every day so that you can harvest Celestia's Gifts. They will respawn every day, and you must harvest them since they're a key resource in converting Strangelings into Buddies. |
| 3 |  Once you have 100 Celestia's Gifts, return to the Goddess Statue and select the Sturdy Wheelbarrow to transform Duglas back into a human. |
Smash the Boulder
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Now that Duglas has his Mining capabilities back, head back down into the Depths. |
| 2 |  Once you've reached the quest marker, approach the boulder to start a cutscene where Duglas destroys the boulder and opens up the path to Edward. |
| * |  Now that Edward's rejoined you, you're free to continue exploring the Depths. Besides looking for items and treasure, look for any debris that you can clear now that you have 2 Buddies recruited. |
Explore the Depths
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Once you're done exploring, follow the quest marker further into the Depths. It will lead you to a mech called Hagram, who can assist you with building out your dream base. |
| 2 | After meeting Hagram, continue exploring the Depths, looking for any items and treasures. |
| 3 |  When you're ready, head to the quest marker to initiate a cutscene with Carla, who will summon a Polturnip that traps Edward and blocks off your progress again. |
| 4 |  With history repeating itself, it's time to head back to the past to find a way to uproot the Polturnip and save Edward... again. ▶ Chapter 4 Walkthrough Guide |
