Proceed Into the Depths - B2

Step-by-Step Guide
1

Now that you've reached B2, follow the quest marker until you enter a room that looks like it's used for research.

You'll also find a Treasure Grove Sapling in here, which can then be planted at your base camp to create a randomized dungeon.
2

Once that's done, head to the back of the room to check out the mural on the wall. Afterwards, continue following the quest marker further into the dungeon.
3

Keep going until you reach a door guarded by two statues. Carla will come out to ambush you again, and, as usual, you'll need to find a way to rescue Edward.
4

To save Edward, you will need to head back to the past to look for an Artist who can repair the statue's face.

Go to the Past Eternia Village

Step-by-Step Guide
*

Before leaving to travel to the past, make sure to pass by your Base Camp first so that you can upgrade the Guild Office and plant the Treasure Grove Sampling.
1 When you're ready, teleport to Eternia Village, and once the cutscene with Auntie Anne is over, teleport to Mysteria Castle.

Talk to Rem in the Capital

Step-by-Step Guide
1

Once you've arrived at the castle, head up the stairs to talk to Rem.

Return to Skelegon

Step-by-Step Guide
1

After the cutscene with Rem is over, teleport back to Eternia Village to trigger the cutscene with Skelegon and unlock Tropica Isles.
* Similar to last time, it's recommended to level up and upgrade your equipment since you're heading into a new area with stronger enemies.

Ride Skelegon to Tropica Isles

Step-by-Step Guide
1

When you're ready, talk to Skelegon and teleport to Tropica Isles.
2

Once you've arrived, head to the center to trigger a short cutscene.

Go to Paulette's Atelier

Step-by-Step Guide
1

After that's done, follow the quest marker and enter Paulette's house to meet her.

Unfortunately, she can't help you. However, she does know someone who can, but you'll need to find them first.
2 When you're ready, head down the beach for one more cutscene before you go off searching for Kikyo.

Search for Kikyo at the X Spots

Step-by-Step Guide
* Before you continue the story, it's recommended to fully explore the island first. Just avoid going to the southwestern cave for now, since the main quest will take you there anyway.
1

To find Kikyo's location, you'll need to search for the Xs that were marked on her map.

Since the X's aren't marked on the in-game map, you'll need to pull up Kikyo's hand drawn map instead using the indicated button at the bottom right of the Map Menu.
2 Once you've investigated all the Xs, a cutscene will play, and Growler will fly off chasing the Crow that's carrying some corn.

Follow Growler

Step-by-Step Guide
1

Follow the quest marker north and you'll chase after Growler into a dark portal. Thankfully, nothing bad happens, and you all escape from the portal unharmed.

Talk to Rem

Step-by-Step Guide
1

Once you have control over your character again, talk to Rem who's resting nearby.

Talk to Paulette

Step-by-Step Guide
1

After that's done, talk to Paulette next and she will tell you to go look for Kikyo in the southwestern cave.

Go to the Southwest Caves

Step-by-Step Guide
1

When you're ready, head southwest and enter Yohoho Cavern.
* This should be the last area you haven't visited yet, so make sure to explore the cave before heading out to the quest marker.

Reach the Cave's Center

Step-by-Step Guide
1 Once you're done exploring, follow the quest marker out to a cove in the center of the cave.
2

During the cutscene, you will be ambushed by some Shadow Sharks. Defeat them so that you can progress to the next part of the story.

Find the Treasure

Step-by-Step Guide
1

After the sharks have been defeated, head to the west side of the cove to find the treasure and Kikyo, who's turned into a Graceful Fan.
2 Once the cutscene ends, you're free to head back to the Goddess Statue to turn Kikyo back into a human. Just remember to pass by the Tropical Isles' Bulletin Board first so that you can clear any completed tasks.

Help Kikyo Return to Normal

Step-by-Step Guide
* Before you go to the Goddess Statue, try to increase your Island Ranking first so that you can reduce the transformation cost.
1

When you're ready, interact with the Goddess Statue to transform Kikyo back into a human.

Now that she has regained her motor skills, she's itching to return to her home to complete the painting for the art competition.

Go to Kikyo's House

Step-by-Step Guide
1

Head to Kikyo's house back in Tropical Isles to start a quick cutscene.
2

To pass the time, you'll make your own painting while Kikyo is finishing her piece. This also serves as the Artist tutorial, but it's pretty much the same as every other Crafting Life if you've done the mini-game already.
3

Once that's done, the art competition will begin and you'll unlock the Artist Life in the Guild Office.
▶︎ How to Unlock the Artist Life

Return to the Present

Step-by-Step Guide
1 Now that Kikyo's free, she can help you fix the statue's face. When you're ready, head back down to the Depths B2.
2

When you arrive at the Depths Entrance, you'll get a cutscene where there'll now be a platform that you can use to quickly travel between the different floors.

Restore Clefton

Step-by-Step Guide
1

Approach the statues and Kikyo will repair Clefton. Once that's done, the doors will open up and you'll reunite with Edward, again.
2 This also officially ends Chapter 5, and you're free to explore the rest of the floor.

Delve Deeper into the Depths

Step-by-Step Guide
1

To start the next chapter, follow the quest marker and head down into B3.
