Visit Rem in the Capital

Step-by-Step Guide
1

As soon as you enter B4, a cutscene will play revealing the Cog of Time, as well as the Dark Dragon and Carla.
2 Once the cutscene's over, you'll be back at the Depths Entrance and you'll now need to visit Rem back at Mysteria Castle.
3

When you're ready, teleport to the capital and walk to the castle's entrance to start a cutscene with Rem, Ranoah, and Mira.

Rest at the Inn in the Capital

Step-by-Step Guide
1

To pass the time while waiting for Mira, go to the inn in the capital and rest.

Stroll Around the Capital

Step-by-Step Guide
1

After a short cutscene, go up to the middle layer of the castle and talk to Rem for another cutscene. Once that's done, it'll be the next day.

Go to Mysteria Castle

Step-by-Step Guide
1

Exit the inn and head up the stairs to talk to Mira. She's devised a way to destroy the Cog, and she'll give you the recipe so that you can show it to Edward.

Report to Edward

Step-by-Step Guide
1

When you're ready, head back to your Base Camp and talk to Edward. He will gather your allies so that you can discuss how to complete the recipe.

Visit Rem

Step-by-Step Guide
1

To find the materials that you'll need, you'll have to go back to the past and talk to Rem.
2

Aside from telling you where to get the materials that you need, she'll also mentioned that the Crow Feather that you got might be the key to accessing the castle in Ginormosia.
* The castle is an optional dungeon that can be cleared to weaken the Dark Dragon. If you want to make the fight versus it easier later, then it's highly recommended to clear Fort Gardhart.

Collect the Eternian Materials

Step-by-Step Guide
1

For the next part of the main quest, you will need to have 1 of each Life levelled and equipped, whether it be yourself or a Buddy. If you still need to level up a Life or Buddy, try to aim for around 350 for the Life's Skill to be safe.

The only exception to this are the Combat Lives, since you're just hunting a boss, and you don't need a specific Life to do that.

Explore the new area, and, once you're done, head to the northernmost room to mine the Eternia Gem Deposit.
4 Once you've got the gem, you're free to leave the cave and hunt for any other materials that you may need.

Report to Edward

Step-by-Step Guide
1 Now that you've gathered all the materials, head back to your base camp and talk to Edward.
2

The next step now will be to transform all the materials into parts for the gear. Thankfully, there's a workbench inside the Guild Office, so you won't need to go far to complete the task.

Craft the Four Gear Parts

Step-by-Step Guide
1

The first piece that you need to make is the Eternian Energy Stew, which requires at least 260 Cooking.
2

Next, you'll need to make the Stone Gear Part, which requires at least 260 Blacksmithing.
3

After that, you'll need to make the Wooden Gear Part, which requires at least 260 Carpentry.
4

Finally, the last piece you need to make is the Cloth Gear Part, which requires at least 260 Tailoring.

Craft the Interfere Gear

Step-by-Step Guide
1

Now that you have all the parts, report back to Edward to get the recipe to make the Interfere Gear.
2

Go back to the workbench and craft the Interfere Gear, which requires at least 280 Alchemy.

Complete the Interfere Gear

Step-by-Step Guide
1

Head back to Edward, but he's not pleased with the appearance of the gear. He will then give you a new recipe to make it look cooler.
2

For the last time, head to the workbench and craft the Interfere Gear +, which requires at least 350 Artistry.

Talk to Edward

Step-by-Step Guide
1

Now that the Interfere Gear has finally been completed, a cutscene will play with all the important characters you've met throughout the game.
2

From there, head back to your Base Camp for a quick cutscene, and, once that's done, go meet Edward at the Depths Entrance.
3 After the cutscene's over, make any final preparations before talking to Edward again to face the final boss.

As a note, this is the last chance for you to clear the optional dungeon in Ginormosia, so make sure to do it now if you haven't done so yet.

Defeat the Dark Dragon

Step-by-Step Guide
1

When you're ready, talk to Edward so that you can fly up to the cog and face the Dark Dragon.

This boss is quite difficult since it has a lot of AoE attacks, so try to stand to its sides so that you can dodge its attacks.

After the dragon has been defeated, Xernes will appear and he'll merge with the Cog of Time. This is the final boss of the game, so make sure to give it all you got!
