| List of Objectives | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Noct receives a call from Cindy, who says that the Regalia has been found. However, it is located in an Imperial base. |
| 2 | The Imperial Army has overtaken an old fortress and taken the Regalia to it. Pitch camp at Sothmocke Haven to plan an attack. |
| 3 |  At dawn, the party decides to infiltrate the camp. Make your way inside the base. |
| 4 |  Follow Ignis to plot a safer route inside the base. Move slowly and surely while taking out soldiers using Warp-Kill. |
| 5 | Once you reach the Regalia, a Magitek MA-X Maniple will appear. Take it out to move through the quest. |
| 6 | The area will become overrun with Imperials. Focus on taking them out one at a time to reach your main goal, the destruction of the generator. |
| 7 | Once you've cleared the area of Imperials and MA-X walkers, Luna's brother, Ravus, will make an appearance. |
| 8 |  After the conversation, you'll be welcome to ride the Regalia again. Reach Iris in Lestallum. This will usher in the next Chapter. |
Tips and Strategies
This is a list of important things to do in the quest Engaging the Empire. Read on to find out which of them is crucial to proceeding.
- Noct won't get a penalty if he fails to warp-kill soldiers, but he will definitely have a harder time moving around the base
- Focus on the Maniple's legs! It will become vulnerable and topple over. Do the same whenever faced with an Imperial walker.
- Use the big guns in the base. Go for the parked tanks--their explosion will help clear the area in a hurry.
- There are point-warp markers scattered about the base. Use these to quickly make your way through.
