The Song of the Dragon and Freedom Guide
After updating to Version 4.0, you can get to the city of Fontaine by boarding the Aquabus in Romaritime Harbor. The aquabus' closest teleport waypoint is located near the border of Fontaine and Sumeru, and should automatically unlock once you've finished Prologue: Act 3.
Teleport to the waypoint in the middle of Fontaine and Sumeru, summon your Waverider, and head to Romaritime Harbor. Ride the lift to the upper level and look for the aquabus.
Talking to the Aeval the Melusine will start your journey to Fontaine's main city!
If your Aquabus is missing, just interact with the nearby bench and "wait for the aquabus". The Aquabus should come back after the loading screen!

With the new diving mechanic in Version 4.0, players can explore Fontaine's underwater landscapes. This underwater map has been updated for Version 4.6!
Because of Fontaine's Blessing, Transoceanic Sourcewater, you can explore the underwater areas of Fontaine through the Diving Mechanic!
Other than allowing you to dive into Fontaine's waters, this blessing also allows you to gain the abilities of Xenochromatic Creatures!
Pneumosia Energy is comprised of both Pneuma and Ousia—two opposing energies utilized by residents of Fontaine as a source of sustainable energy called Indemnitium, to power up the nation, and all the Clockwork Meka!
Fusing these two energies together creates a Balanced energy that activates certain mechanisms in Fontaine—or "Annihilate" machine beings.
The Arkhe System refers to the inherent Pneumosia alignment of characters from Fontaine. This can help them interact with the Pneumosia Energy all over Fontaine and is separate from each Fontainian character's Vision!
Clockwork Meka Previews | |
---|---|
Clockwork Meka are machine beings that are primarily powered by Pneuma-Ousia Annihilation Reaction energy blocks invented by Alain Guillotin, founder of the Fontaine Research Institute.
These machine beings perform a number of functions, such as patrolling, defense, underwater exploration, among others. Be careful though, as not all Clockwork Meka are friendly!
Clockwork Mekas can still function even outside Fontaine, but can only do so through pre-prepared energy blocks that contain Pneumosia Energy!
Melusines are a race of beings characterized by their long and protruding ears, and whose place of residence is primarily in Beryl Region.
From the Ancient Colors World Quest, it was also revealed that their progenitor is Elynas, a felled-dragon whose blood had polluted the rivers of Fontaine for years!
The Fountain of Lucine serves as the reward system in Fontaine where you can exchange collected Hydro Sigils with valuable items!
This system can be unlocked as soon as you reach Fontaine, but we recommend progressing through the region's Archon Quest: Act 1 for a better experience as it will point you to the fountain's location!
