Do Kindlers of the Flame 1 and 2 Before the “Master Of” Questlines
We recommend starting with the first two chapters of the Kindlers of the Flame questline before doing the Master of Wealth, Power, or Fame quests. The questline can be started immediately after the Prologue by talking to Stia in Wishvale and completing Rekindling the Flame Pt. 1.
Completing these grants early access to the companion Phenn and unlocks key Wishvale facilities such as the Hub and Farm. Furthermore, it unlocks additional town structures you can build.
Prologue Walkthrough
| 1 |  Create your character. In the character creation screen, you can select your hero's Appearance, Learned Skill, Favorite Dish, and Belongings. Choose wisely, as you cannot change these after finishing character creation. ▶︎ Best Starting Choices |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Go outside and see your father. Starting in your room, go downstairs and meet your mother, who will give you your Favorite Dish. Then, head outside into town. ▶︎ Which Favorite Dish Should You Choose? |
| 3 |  "Contend" with your father to learn from him. Meet your father directly to the right of your house, and interact with him to Contend against him, leading to a sparring match. Make sure to use your Boost when he's broken to finish him off quickly. This nets you the Vacuum Slice Mastery Action Skill. |
| 4 |  Visit the carpenter Lavore's house. Head south towards Lavore's house. After entering and watching the cutscene, you will be joined by a new companion: Stia. |
| 5 |  Head to the church. With Stia, head to the church north of the town. Once inside, accept the volunteer job to find an Azure Flamestone. |
| 6 |  Head to the cavern outside of town. With Stia, head to the church north of the town. Once inside, accept the volunteer job to find the Azure Firestone. You can find a save point just before exiting Wishvale at the south end of town. ▶︎ How to Save |
| 7 |  South of the town, enter the Wishvale Trail, then continue east to find the Cerulean Cavern. You will encounter random Monsters along the way, which are easy to defeat and provide quick XP. Avoid spending too much SP during combat, as you will need it for the upcoming boss fight. |
| 8 |  Obtain an azure flamestone. Past the mysterious scholar, enter the cavern and meet Phenn, a new companion. Continue deeper until you reach the glowing blue area on the east side, starting the encounter with the Emerald Direwolf boss. |
| 9 |  The Emerald Direwolf deals heavy damage, but the fight is easy to manage as long as you immediately heal whoever it attacks with Stia’s First Aid healing skill on her turn, and capitalize on Max Boost Attack opportunities when the boss’s guard breaks. ▶︎ Emerald Direwolf Weaknesses and Boss Guide |
| 10 |  Give the azure flamestone to Laurana. Head back to Wishvale and give the item to Laurana, located in the town center. After giving it to her, head back to your home and rest on the bed. |
| 11 |  Take a walk around Wishvale at night. At night, find Stia at the northern end of town. After speaking to her, you can head back to the house and finally go to sleep. |
| 12 |  Take a look around the festival. The next day, join Stia and visit three locations around the town festival, interacting with the townsfolk at each one. You must stop by the church, farm, and tavern before you can continue. |
| 13 |  After visiting all locations, head to the town center and speak with the elder to begin the Enkindling ritual. Before you start, this is your final chance to explore the town, complete Path Actions, and collect any remaining Treasures. |
| 14 |  Survive the attack. Defeat the Scarlet Wings Soldiers. Your companions will join the battle after two turns. Once the enemies are defeated, head south toward the Wishvale Trail to escape. |
| 15 |  At the Wishvale Trail, you will be ambushed by another set of soldiers, this time with a powerful Scarlet Wings Corporal. Make sure to use Laurana's Healing Light skill on party members who get heavily damaged by him. ▶︎ List of All Skills |
| 16 |  Select your job. After the timeskip, you can select one of eight Jobs for your hero, and one of three Mastery Skills. ▶︎ How to Change Jobs |
| 17 |  Head to Wishvale. From Nomos' hideout, head back to Wishvale to the west. |
| 18 |  Build a workshop. Once there, meet up with Stia, then clear the rubble in the area. Clearing the rubble and debris also grants you Stone and Lumber materials for the workshop. |
| 19 |  You can find the last bit of Lumber you need just outside the village, at the Wishvale Trail. Once you have it, head back and build the workshop with Stia. |
| 20 |  Select what you seek. After the workshop is built, Nomos will ask which path you seek: Wealth, Power, or Fame. Regardless of your choice, all three questlines can be done at any point in the story. ▶︎ Should You Choose Wealth, Power, or Fame? |
| 21 |  Speak to Stia to start a short sidequest called Rekindling the Flame Pt. 1 where you'll need to invite your first villager, Tyme, back to Wishvale. Completing this short quest will unlock the Kindlers of Flame Questline. |

| 3 |  Invite Tyme Using Path Action Once the cutscene ends, you'll need to use a Path Action to invite Tyme back into Wishvale. Interact with him and choose Inquire first, then Invite him back to Wishvale. |
| 3 |  Clear the Rubble Near the Workshop After inviting Tyme, fast travel back to Wishvale for a short cutscene. You'll then need to clear the rubble near the Workshop so you can have a place to build Tyme's home. |
| 3 |  Build a House for Tyme Once the rubble is cleared, speak to Sia to start building a house for Tyme. You can place it wherever you like on the cleared path, and you can move it around later. |
| 3 |  Move in Tyme Once the house is placed, click on the house and move in Tyme to set him as the resident of the newly built house. |

| 2 |  Head west to the Volare: Main Boulevard area and meet Bargello in the central plaza. The dialogue choices you pick in the cutscene do not matter, as the story will progress without any differences. |
| 3 |  At the end of the cutscene, you will battle a group of Blackrobes, who are fairly easy to defeat. Afterward, join Bargello’s plan to infiltrate one of Herminia’s parties. |
| 4 |  Head to Herminia's Manse. Head south of the plaza to an alternate path towards Herminia's mansion. Before heading there, we recommend taking the time to recruit Celsus at the tavern to the west of the plaza, and gather Helpers around town. |
| 5 |  The path to Herminia’s estate has hostile Monsters and several Treasure Chests with useful resources. Fighting the Monsters is recommended, as the extra EXP will help in the upcoming boss fight. |
| 6 |  Inside Herminia’s mansion, the party sequence is entirely dialogue. After the cutscenes, you will return outside with your party and Bargello. |
| 7 |  Confront the man who killed the slaves. Once outside, you must help Bargello confront the man, triggering the boss fight. Before engaging, make sure your party's HP and SP are topped up, and you have a few Healing Grapes on hand. You do not have to confront him immediately, so feel free to go back to Valore or leave town to stock up on items or recruit more allies. Being at least Lvl. 10 with more than three party members is recommended for a smoother boss fight. |
| 8 |  Defeat Captain Tristan. Captain Tristan is a tough early boss, with him and his minions dealing heavy damage. Try to deal with the Mercenaries first before focusing Captain Tristan. ▶︎ Captain Tristan Weaknesses and Boss Guide |

| 11 |  Search for the servant Al Go back downstairs and you'll find Al just past the Save Point. Approach him when you're ready to fight the main boss of this chapter: Al the Servant. |
| 12 |  This boss fight almost requires two healers and an attacker as Al's attacks will hurt a lot even at Lv.10. Velnorte will also provide support in this battle by giving you various buffs and healing. |
| 13 |  Observe Velnorte You'll end up at the inn after the fight and a couple of cutscenes with Velnorte and Rinyuu, who will give you the Bell Amulet quest item. Exit the inn and return to Velnorte's house to complete the quest. |

|---|---|
| 2 |  Go to Rosso's hideout. Go to Rosso’s hideout in the Valore Main Boulevard on the north side of the area. Entering the building will trigger the boss fight with Rosso immediately after the cutscene, so make sure you are stocked up on HP and SP, and save beforehand just in case. |
| 2 |  Defeat Rosso. Rosso deals heavy damage and frequently enters a phase where he becomes highly resistant to both Physical and Elemental attacks. Even though your damage will be low during his resistance phases, you can still break his Shield Points, so prioritize multi-hit BP attacks to break his guard. |
| 4 |  Return to Bargello's hideout. Before returning to Bargello’s hideout, rest to recover your HP and SP, as heading there will automatically transition you to Herminia’s Manse after the cutscene. |

| 8 |  Confront Lady Herminia. Traverse the caverns and defeat the Monsters along the way. An Elite Enemy: Menacing Sticky Slug can be found on the southeast side of the area. The door to the Herminia boss fight is located in the northernmost section of the caverns. |
| 9 |  Lady Herminia (First Phase) Lady Herminia is accompanied by her Lady-in-Waiting, who can both attack you and heal Herminia. Focus on Lady Herminia first, breaking her guard to prevent her dangerous sleep attacks. The Lady-in-Waiting’s healing is small, and her attacks are weak compared to Herminia's. She transitions to a second phase after both her and the Lady-In-Waiting are defeated. |
| 10 |  Herminia the Huntress (Second Phase) In her second phase, Herminia has increased HP and Shield Points. Watch out for when she summons the Manifestations of Mental Decay, as they count down to unleash a devastating attack. Prioritize destroying the Manifestations when they appear to avoid the attack, but be careful if one casts the All-Attack Counter Stance. Avoid attacking it until the effect ends. |
| 11 |  After winning the battle, you will be transported back to Valore and unlock the ultimate technique: Draefendi’s Rage. You can then continue by completing the Master of Power or Master of Fame questlines, or start the The Rings Sealed Away quest once all three are finished. |

| 9 |  Confront the hero Tytos Enter the cathedral and take the stairs on the right side. Be on the lookout for doorways that don't appear on the minimap until you get close enoough as their rooms might contain chests. |
| 10 |  Once on the second floor, you can either go straight to the main objective by taking the stairs on the other side or continue going up to find an isolated room with a chest. Continue following the objective marker when you're done exploring. |
| 11 |  Go to the central room and take the time to save your progress, as exiting through the south door starts the fight against Commander Tytos. |
| 12 |  Commander Tytos is weak to Spears, Daggers, Bows, Wind, and Light. Make sure to have plenty of attacks with these types to quickly break Tytos. Have lots of Herb of Valor prepared as well to remove the Terror status that Tytos often inflicts on your members using Rule by Fear. This debuff prevents the target from gaining BP, which puts you in a huge disadvantage when placed on members that can exploit Tytos' weaknesses. |
| 13 |  In the second phase, Tytos will start by putting up a barrier that drains 1 BP from the front row members per turn. This will make it harder for your party to break Tytos as he can also still inflict Terror on your members. The only way to break the barrier is to deplete Tytos' Shield Points. Fortunately, those in the back row when the barrier was placed will be unaffected, so you can let them passively gain BP before switching them in for a multi-hit attack. Lastly, check your Skills list for Skills that can multi-hit and exploit Tytos' weaknesses at the same time, as these will be very handy in breaking Tytos. |

| 5 |  Head to the library Return to the library for another cutscene where you read the content of The Accursed Night and review what you have learned so far by answering three questions. You'll loop back to the same options if you picked the wrong answer, so it's okay to just take guesses. The correct answers are: 1. The Lanthorn 2. Black 3. Divine ring & blood |
| 6 |  Go to the location identified on the map Go back outside and walk towards the center for a forced battle against two Elite Black Scarlet. Both minibosses are weak to Spears, Staves, Fans, Ice, and Dark. |
| 7 |  Head to Flamesgrace Open your map and fast travel to Flamesgrace, located northwest of Atlasdam, then head to the Flamesgrace Cathedral and talk to Pontiff Julius once again. |
| 8 |  Speak to Rondo Rondo can be found outside the cathedral, but before you speak to him, make sure you're fully prepared for three consecutive minibosses. |
| 9 |  For the first miniboss, you'll be up against another Monster (Man). Like in the battle against him in the previous quest, he is weak to Daggers, Bows, Staves, Fire, and Light and can increase his Phys. Atk. per turn starting on Turn 6, so you'll have to break or defeat him as soon as possible. |
| 10 |  Next up is a Monster (Woman), a miniboss that you've also fought in the previous quest. She is weak to Swords, Spears, Tomes, Ice, and Light and can raise her Speed per turn at the start of Turn 6. |
| 11 |  The last miniboss for this quest is a Monster (Black Scarlet). This miniboss can mutate and change its weaknesses each time it is broken. It is weak to Polearms, Bows, Tomes, and Fans, which are all physical attacks, by default. Once you get the "The Black Scarlet's body is mutating...", it will remove its weaknesses to the physical attack types and be weak to Fire, Lightning, Wind, and Light. The third time the Black Scarlet mutates, it will change its weaknesses to Polearms, Bows, Tomes, Fire, and Lightning and prepare for a powerful move. Break all its Shield Points to interrupt the attack. |

|---|---|
| 2 |  Ask the Three Townspeople for Information You'll need to speak and inquire with three specific townspeople, indicated by a green speech bubble, in Valore to get information for Bargello. The first is the Cragspear Merchant who is standing just north of the bar where Bargello is staying. Next, go west to the Main Boulevard and speak with the Veteran Hunter and the Indomitable Dancer, then head back to Bargello for a cutscene. |
| 3 |  Search for Oskha After the cutscene, make your way to Hermina's Former Manse west of Valore. Once inside, follow the path north and up to reach the mansion's terrace for a short cutscene and prepare for a fight. |
| 4 | Defeat Oskha, the Have-Not Oskha's Dual Ruinous Slash can inflict Phys.Atk.Down for two turns which makes fighting this boss with physical characters challenging, so prioritize using Wind and Dark magic which he's weak to. When he says "Are you prepared?", it means he's about to use a powerful attack. Focus on breaking his shield as fast as possible with Daggers, Wind, and Dark attacks to avoid getting hit. |
| 5 |  Go to the Eternal Quicksand Fast travel to Sufrataljah, then exit towards Sufrataljah Sands and keep going west until you reach Eternal Quicksand. The marked location is to the north of Eternal Quicksand. |
| 5 |  Purchase The Have-Not's Proof from the Statue Approach the large crater for a cutscene, and then you'll need to inspect the left statue and purchase a The Have-Not's Proof for 50,000 Leaves. Once purchased, inspect the right statue and place the newly acquired proof for a short cutscene, and then enter the Golden Palace. ► Money Farming Guide |
| 6 |  Push the Buttons on the Two Statues Once inside the Golden Palace, you'll need to interact and press the button on the two statues to open the large door. The first statue is directly southwest of the door, while the other statue is located northeast of central area. A short cutscene will play after pressing both statues, and you can now enter the large door in the central area. |
| 7 |  Drop Down the Right Golden Waterfall Drop down the golden waterfall to the right of the entrance to reach the lowest part of the room. |

| 11 |  Defeat Oskha the Have-Not Once inside, save your game and approach the central area to the north for a short cutscene. Oskha the Have-Not will once again challenge you to a fight. The boss can summon Altered Gold Remnants during the fight which are weal to Knives, Staves, Ice, and Dark damage, and you'll want to defeat these quickly to avoid getting paralyzed by their Bolt Wave attack. Oskha the Have-Not retains his previous weakness to Knives, Wind, and Dark attacks and these are his most consistent weaknesses. Alexia's Duskblight is useful here since it hits twice and can also damage the Altered Gold Remnant. |
| 12 |  Defeat Oskha the Trader Defeating Oskha the Have-Not will cause him to transform into Oskha the Trader who is weak to Knives, Tomes, Fans, Ice and Dark damage. He'll instantly use A Hundred Arms at the start of the battle which will cause him to move twice on his turn. The boss has many dangerous moves that impart debuffs and Sleep status, but his most dangerous move is when he says Thou shall have not and cause a Stillness Field to affect all front row characters and prevents them from using skills. You can remove this debuff by breaking his shield so make sure you have enough boosts to quickly burst down his shield. You should also have at least Saoirse or Pius for the fight since they can provide healing regeneration or burst healing respectively to keep your team in top shape throughout the fight. |
| 13 |  After the fight, a cutscene will play and you'll receive the Ring of Bifelgan the Trader which grants the protagonist the Bifelgan's Bounty ultimate. |

| 11 |  To unlock the path forward that is blocked by flowing lava, activate the area’s buttons in order. Start with the pillar in the center. Button Order: 1. Central Pillar to raise the bridges on the right. 2. First Button near the bridges to open a gate. 3. Central Pillar again to raise the bridge on the left. 4.

Bring a strong healer like Pius who has a full row heal and use dancer buffs such as Saoirse’s to bolster the whole row at once. The boss is weak to Swords, Axes, Fans, Lightning, Wind, and Light. |
| 14 |  Confront Ceraphina. After the battle, continue north to find Ceraphina. You cannot proceed up the stairs unless Sazantos is in your party, so swap him in if he's already there. Once ready, save your game and head up the stairs for the next major boss fight against Ceraphina herself. |
| 15 |  Defeat Ceraphina the Charitable. Ceraphina inflicts frequent debuffs and status ailments on your front row.

She is weak to Swords, Axes, Wind, and Light. Be mindful of your attack types, as she has fewer weaknesses than the earlier bosses. After defeating the boss, you can continue to the Bestower of All questline (The Black Flame Prologue quest) if you've finished Bestower of Wealth and Power as well. |

Use this opportunity to exploit its weakness to Axes, Bows, Staves, Lightning, and Light. |
| 7 |  There are two NPCs ahead who you can get items from through Path Actions, as well as a chest to the left. Interact with the glowing orb on the right for a cutscene to get Elrica's Curse - Dying Wish. |
| 8 |  Go back to the previous room and dispel the dark mist blocking the stairs to your right, then go up the stairs to Hell: Castle Edoras - 3F. |
| 9 |  Climb the next staircase on the left and enter the theater where you'll find two chests. Exit to the left and go up to Hell: Castle Edoras - 4F. |
| 10 |  You'll get another cutscene, where Rondo splits from the group to fend off the Fallen, upon entering the room in the middle. Go down to the next room and take an immediate left to find Fallen Edoras Defender of Wealth. This Elite Enemy is weak to Swords, Daggers, Axes, Fire, and Ice. Before passing through the doorway behind it, there are two chests on the hall below and another on the training area outside. |
| 11 |  Past where the Defender of Wealth was are two NPCs you can use Path Actions on, a cabin with a chest inside, and the second memory. Interact with the orb to obtain Elrica's Curse - Deepest Desire. |
| 12 |  Get back inside the castle and dispel the dark mist on the right side so you can reach Hell: Castle Edoras - 5F. |
| 13 |  There are several doors here that you can take time to explore for to get items, including the staircase on the bottom right corner that leads to an isolated part of Hell: Castle Edoras - 6F. Once you're ready to proceed, enter the doorway on the left of the statues in the main room. |
| 14 |  Follow the path until you find the Fallen Edoras Defender of Fame. This Elite Enemy is weak to Spears, Tomes, Fans, Ice, and Wind. After defeating the Fallen Edoras, exit through the door behind it and interact with the memory by the grave to obtain Elrica's Curse - ???. You can also mug the attendant NPC nearby to get some items before you leave. |
| 15 |  Confront Elrica You can now dispel the final dark mist in the castle. Go back to the main room and go through the door on the top left corner. Climb the stairs and remove the mist to gain access to Hell: Castle Edoras - 6F. |
| 16 |  Save before entering the throne room and approach Elrica, who will summon the Fallen Lebrandt to fight. Fallen Lebrandt can use Unwavering to set his Shield Points to 99 and follow up with an attack that will hit the entire front row in the next turn. If you can tank this attack, Fallen Lebrandt will deal huge damage to himself. Fallen Lebrandt is weak to Spears, Bows, Staves, Fire, and Dark. |
| 17 |  A boss fight against Cursed Princess Elrica will start right after defeating Fallen Lebrandt. Elrica's attacks can inflict Dread, which prevents the target from recovering BP for three turns. She can also disrupt your setup by preventing a party member from switching out. Once her HP drops down to critical level, Elrica will gain 99 Shield Points and prepare the Sword of Darkness attack. As it is impossible to shred that much SP, have your front row stack defense buffs instead so the chosen target can tank the attack. Cursed Princess Elrica is initially weak to Axes, Tomes, Ice, Wind, and Light, but can switch them to Swords, Fans, Fire, Lightning, and Light. |

| 2 |  Head to the Valley of Death. Head to the Valley of Death and proceed to its west exit. |
| 3 |  Search for clues to the Gate of Finis. After the dialogue, head for the exit to your left toward the Valley of Death: West. Then, make your way to the northwest part of the area—the location where you previously fought General Krauser—to find a portal. |
| 4 |  Proceed through Hornburg in Hell. Upon entering the portal, you'll be transported to Hell: Hornburg Pass. Collect the nearby chests as you explore. Upon reaching the center of the area, a scene will trigger, revealing your path is blocked. |
| 5 |  To remove the mist, you need to defeat the Elite Enemies Cursed Fallen Giant Falcon (northeast) and Cursed Fallen Rat King (northwest). Once they are eliminated, take the southwest exit of Hell: Hornburg Pass and continue to Hell: Hornburg Castle's throne room. |
| 6 |  You will find that the path to the throne room is locked. Follow the marker to Hell: Hornburg Castle - West, where King Richard will find a way to open the west door. |
| 7 |  Proceed to the west side of the castle. If you enter the castle's chapel, you'll find that the doors there are also locked, so enter the library upstairs. Note: Inside the castle's chapel, there is an optional Menacing Fallen Hornburg Knight Elite Enemy. Behind him is a chest that contains a Swiftstrike Mastery. |
| 8 |  Examine the eastern doors in the library to open them. In the newly accessed room, you will find two holes in the floor. Each hole leads to a room below containing a chest. |
| 9 |  The hole above will lead you to a chest that contains your favorite dish. However, when you approach the chest, you will be forced into a fight against three Fallen Hornburg Soldiers. After defeating them, exit through the left door. This door leads to the chapel, from which you can return to the library. |
| 10 |  Next, enter the second hole which leads to a chest containing an Herb of Vitality and a lever. After collecting the herb, pull the lever on the right side of the room to obtain the Key to the Large Door. Take the exit towards the chapel once again. |

| 13 |  Examine the drawer beside the desk to find a Brass Key, then exit via the door upstairs to return to Hell: Hornburg Castle - Western Central Area. |
| 14 |  Use the Brass Key to open the large door on the second floor—the one you passed through when going to the bedroom. |
| 15 |  Up ahead in the room is a lever. However, there is a pitfall on the floor in front of it which leads to the room directly below. You can fall through if you wish to get an Inspiriting Plum Basket and unlock the door below. Otherwise, climb the stairs and pull the lever above. This closes the pitfall, allowing you to safely reach the main lever. |
| 16 |  Head downstairs and pull the main lever to open the southeast door in the room. |
| 17 |  Enter the opened room and jump down the hole. You'll find yourself in the cellar. Examine the shining object on the northeast part of the room to obtain the Left Drawbridge Key. |
| 18 |  Next, return to the central area and head to Hell: Hornburg Castle - Eastern Central Area. The first room on the first floor of the Eastern Central Area holds an optional elite enemy: the Menacing Sacred Flame Guardian. Defeat it to access a chest containing the Ardante Attire. While the other rooms on the Eastern Central Area only contain chests, the room you need to enter to progress is found on the third floor. |
| 19 |  Proceed to the room on the third floor and jump into the pitfall to reach the room directly below. |
| 20 |  You will land on the right side of the pitfall in the first room on the second floor. From there, move to the right and jump down the hole. |
| 21 |  You have now reached the room behind the large door on the first floor. Pick up the shining object located on the northeast part of the area to get the Drawbridge Key Right. |
| 22 |  Return to Hell: Hornburg Castle - Central Area and use the left and right keys on the devices on each side of the Drawbridge to lower it. Finally, cross the drawbridge and save. Make sure to prepare for a fight. |
| 23 |  Undertake Sonzon's trial. Enter the throne room and continue forward to trigger a cutscene. Afterwards, talk to Sonzon the Flameguard and choose to begin the trials. You will engage in a fight against Rondo of the Knights Ardante and a couple of Sacred Flames. To pass the trial, you must eliminate all Sacred Flames—both those currently present and any that are summoned later. Defeating Rondo is not required. However, if Rondo is defeated before all the Sacred Flames have been eliminated, you will fail and be forced to repeat the trial. |
| 24 |  Undertake the final trial. After passing the first trial, speak to Sonzon the Flameguard again to begin the final trial. You'll need to defeat him to succeed. Once the cutscene ends, Rondo the Knight Ardante will now become a member of your party, and the A Nation Frozen in Time chapter is complete. |

| 3 |  Make your way to the northwest section of the maze to find a Fallen Lady-in-Waiting, then talk to her to engage her group in combat. Defeat them to clear the fog at the end of the path to your right. |
| 4 |  Now, take the right path and enter Wealth's Dominion. Make sure to save and prepare before entering the gold-filled dining hall as a boss fight against Cursed Lady Herminia will immediately follow. Herminia can inflict the SP Sap debuff, which drains SP from targets per turn, on your front row once she has full BP. This won't be that much of a problem if you can rush her with your attacks. She also has a delayed attack that will damage your front row after a countdown, which is not exactly a devastating one especially if you always stack defense buffs on your party. Cursed Lady Herminia is weak to Daggers, Axes, Tomes, Lightning, and Wind. |

He can also use Mass Fatal Sentence to instantly down an entire row of party members after 3 turns. Quickly break Auguste before the countdown ends to dispel this debuff. |
| 9 |  After defeating Cursed Master Auguste, proceed to the "backstage" to enter Hell's Abyss. Follow the path to the end, past the save point, to reach the Ridge of the Imprisoned God. |
| 10 |  Approach the throne in the middle of the path for a cutscene with Sazantos. |

You'll have to take out Signa first to remove this protection from Sazantos. Signa is weak to Swords, Polearms, Axes, Ice, and Light, while Sazantos is weak to Polearms, Fans, Ice, Lightning, and Light. |

| 9 |  Proceed into the Heavens. After the dialogue, move up ahead and interact with the northernmonst pedestal to teleport to your next destination, the Seas of Servility. The goal is to activate each pedestal of fire so you can get to the Heavens. |
| 10 |  You will find yourself in the Seas of Servility: Hollow Path. Examine the book near the pedestal and then board the ship. |
| 11 |  In the first level of the Seas of Servility, sail your ship to the easternmost building to activate the blue switch and the northeasternmost building for the green switch. This will light the blue and green crystals and open the door to the second level. Other structures contain chests, while the first building also holds Lyblac's Journal. Note: In the building, where you find the blue switch is also an optional elite enemy, the Sanct Oliphant. Additionally, any inaccessible chests you see can be looted by gaining access from later areas. |
| 12 |  Upon reaching the second level of the Seas of Servility, head to the northwest end to grab the chest. Afterward, enter the nearby building to activate the green switch. |
| 13 |  At the center of the second level are two entrances to the same area, but with access to different passages. The left passage contains a chest, while the right is where you'll find the blue switch. |
| 14 |  Finally, after activating both switches, head to the northeastern building and go through the opened door to reach the third level. Make sure to prepare for a boss fight and save before leaving the Seas of Servility: Divine Path. |
| 15 |  The third level of the Seas of Servility is just a small area. Loot the chest on the west side, then defeat the Sacred Beast of the Seas to clear the path. Afterwards, interact with the marker to exit the area. |
| 16 |  Once you have returned to the Garden of Sin, you will find that the north fire pedestal is lit up. Interact with the pedestal to the left to proceed to the Sands of Rapacity. |
| 17 |  Sands of Rapacity has only one floor, but you'll need to operate several orange switches to create bridges to move forward. Additionally, you will also need to flip a green and blue switch to reach the final orange switch. The waterfall sands in this area will lead you to the inaccessible chests at the Seas of Servility. |
| 18 |  Once you arrive at Sands of Rapacity, examine the book next to the teleport pedestal. Next, continue forward where you'll find the first orange switch. Activating this switch will destroy the bridge to your right and create a bridge to your left. You can opt to flip this later if you want to defeat the optional elite enemy Sanct Garmr. Otherwise, flip it on then cross the bridge to the southwest end of the area. |
| 19 |  Grab the chest to the south, then activate the second orange switch in the passage ahead. This will trigger a bridge leading to the middle part of the Sands of Rapacity. |
| 20 |  Cross the bridge that appeared towards north and head west, then activate the third orange switch. |
| 21 |  You can bypass the fourth orange switch since the bridge further north is already fully formed, but flipping it will reveal a path to a chest to the right. Note that this destroys the northern section of the bridge, so you'll need to hit the switch a second time to restore the path once you're done. |
| 22 |  Once you reach the northern section, operate the fifth orange switch to the northwest to create a path toward the green switch, then head across to activate it. |
| 23 |  Next, use the sixth orange switch to the northeast to create a path, allowing you to reach and activate the blue switch. |
| 24 |  With both the green and blue switches active, the path to the last switch will emerge. Head across and trigger the seventh orange switch, which finally bridges the gap to the northernmost end of the Sands of Rapacity. |
| 25 |  Continue forward to face the Sacred Beast of the Sands. After defeating the area boss, return to the Garden of Sin. |
| 26 |  Back in the Garden of Sin, you will find that the Sands of Rapacity pedestal now glows with fire. With that accomplished, approach and interact with the pedestal to the right to reach the Skies of Vanity. |
| 27 |  The Skies of Vanity is divided into three levels, featuring separate sections on the first floor. To move between them, you must use the various lifts scattered throughout the area. Your goal is to light up the green and blue crystals, to make the central lift to the top level appear. Note: At the eastern end of Skies of Vanity is an optional elite enemy, the Sanct Cauchemar. |
| 28 |  Upon arriving at the first level in Skies of Vanity, start by examining the book next to the teleport pedestal. Afterwards, proceed to the east and take the first lift upward to the second level. |
| 29 |  On the second level level, turn left and head northwest to find the lift leading back down to the first level. |
| 30 |  Once you're back at the first level, head to the northwesternmost side to find and activate the green switch, marking the first step toward unlocking the central lift. |
| 31 |  After activating the green switch, return to the second level using the lift to the south of your current platform. Next, head to the northeast lift, which will carry you down to a separate section of the third level containing the blue switch. |
| 32 |  Proceed to the northernmost end of your current platform to find and activate the blue switch. With both crystals now lit, the central lift will manifest. To reach it, return to the second level and head back to the middle of the area, where you can now ascend to the top floor. |
| 33 |  Prepare for a boss fight and save your game, then ascend to the top floor using the central lift. |
| 34 |  Continue forward to face the Sacred Beast of the Skies. After defeating the area boss, return to the Garden of Sin. |
| 35 |  Back at the Garden of Sin, all three silver pedestals are now lit up, making the central golden pedestal also ablaze with fire. Interact with the golden pedestal to be transported to the Altar of Heavenly Peals. Note: You can fast travel to Wishvale and rest at your bed to fully replenish your HP and SP before proceeding to the major boss fight. |
| 36 |  Confront Sazantos. When you're done preparing, head to the Altar of Heavenly Peals and continue forward to face Sazantos. He has two forms, Saint Sazantos and Orsazantos. |
| 37 |  Touch the Light. After defeating Sazantos' two phases, touch the light that suddenly appears. |
| 38 |  Explore the world. You will find yourself in a wide expanse of snowy landscape with just a single house in the distance. Move north and enter the house to trigger a scene. |
| 39 |  Do what you desire. After the cutscene and speaking with the NPCs, exit the house and keep heading south to leave the area. |
| 40 |  Touch the Light. You will return to the Altar of Heavenly Peals. Touch the light once again, to fight the final boss of this chapter, Bestower of All. Make sure to be prepared and save, as this will be a long fight. |
| 41 |  Head to Castle Edoras. After the final battle and the cutscene, you will regain control of your character. Make your way to the front of Castle Edoras. |
| 42 |  Meet with Alaune. Lastly, enter Castle Edoras and head to Alaune's bedroom for the final scene. Congratulations, you have completed the normal ending of Octopath Traveler 0! |

| 14 |  Defeat Ol'galdera. Ol’galdera is a lengthy fight but manageable with proper preparation. Make sure each formation has a dedicated healer, and that all characters are well leveled and properly equipped. Focus on destroying the Void-Sundering Arm and Demonic Spear first to make the encounter significantly easier. The boss also has multiple weakness changes, so keep that in mind when selecting your attacks. ▶︎ Or'galdera Weaknesses and Boss Guide |
