Talk to Archbishop Josef
After the Prologue's end cutscene, speak to Archbishop Josef to start Chapter 1.
2 Monster Townsperson Boss
Head to the Cathedral of Tytos.
Return to Emberglow and towards the Cathedral of Tytos in town. In the cathedral's courtyard, you will come across the Monster (Townsperson) boss to defeat before you can continue to the main cathedral.
3
Head to the dining hall.
After defeating the Monster (Townsperson), head inside the cathedral and agree to join the supper during the cutscene, then proceed to the dining hall room to the left.
4
"Inquire" about important information.
After the supper cutscene, you must Inquire two specific NPCs for the information. First, Inquire with the Senior Nun to your immediate right, who will give you the Confessional Information.
5
Gather more important information.
The next NPC is upstairs on the second-floor balcony, the Disquiet Scarlet Wing. Inquire with him to get the Documentation of Tytos's Crimes.
6
Report to Rondo of the Knights Ardante.
With the two pieces of evidences, return to Rondo and report your findings.
7
Interrogate Bishop Tarset.
Speak to Bishop Tarset by the sacred fire, and Inquire with him to get Tarset's Information.
8
After Inquiring, choose Contend to start a fight against three Scarlet Wing soldiers. Defeat them to receive Tarset’s Secret from Bishop Tarset.
9
Head to the confessional.
Go to the western wing of the cathedral and you'll be brought to the confessional after a cutscene. Once on the lower floor, attempt to go through the door.
10
Head to Emberglow Cathedral.
After the cutscene by the confessional door, head outside back into the main Emberglow town and go to the church in the northwest of the town. Speak to Rinyuu inside the building.
11
Search the confessional.
Head back to the confessional room, where a cutscene will let you enter the newly unlocked door. The path leads into the Cathedral of Tytos: Underground, a large dungeon beneath the cathedral.
12
Search for Miza.
Underground, head east and you will find a staircase leading down into the Emberglow Laboratory: Inner Chambers. There are plenty of monsters and treasure chests along the way.
13
In the Emberglow Laboratory, head downstairs to the central chamber to begin the double boss fight against Monster (Man) and Monster (Woman). The surrounding rooms contain treasure chests, as well as the Elite Enemy Menacing Test Subject (Big Beast) in the room to the left of the boss area.
14
Defeat the Monster Bosses.
It is best to focus on one target at a time when fighting Monster (Man) and Monster (Woman). Defeating one quickly lets you concentrate fully on the remaining boss.
15
Search for Father Monaris.
After defeating the Monster couple, head east down the hallway. Beyond the save point at the end, you will immediately enter the boss fight against Monaris the Monstrous. Make sure your party is fully healed and prepared before proceeding.
16
Defeat Monaris the Monstrous.
Monaris the Monstrous is the final boss of the chapter and a tough fight with 20 Shield Points. He uses a powerful three-turn countdown attack. If you cannot break his shield in time, move your tankiest characters forward and stack defensive buffs on the front row and so they can withstand the hit.
