Sacred Ashes Walkthrough

Ceraphina the Charitable Walkthrough

Quest Objectives

1
Speak to Rondo.
You will find Rondo in the Flamesgrace Cathedral. Speak to him to start the quest.
2
Head to Berecain.
Travel to Berecain in the eastern part of the Highlands Region.
▶︎ Orsterra Map and List of Regions
3
Gather information about Ceraphina.
Once there, go up the stairs in the northeast part of the area and speak to the old man. He will not let you in unless you have the password.
4
Get the password from the Singing Child NPC, located to the right at the bottom of the steps. Entreat him to get the Song of the Red Hill.
5
Return to the old man and select the Salomon's Head option, and you are now free to enter the door.
6
Head inside and go downstairs, and approach the man in the summoning circle. A cutscene will play as you approach him.
7
Head to the Forbidden Temple.
Go outside the shack and to the north exit of the city towards Mt. Berecain.
8
Continue to the Mt. Berecain: Depths entrance in the northwest of the area. There are 4 other chests in the zone, one of them being a Blue Chest. An Elite Enemy: Menacing Quartz Turtle guards the chests on the top right.
9
In the depths, head past the save point towards the entrance to the Forbidden Temple. A cutscene will play, and you will enter.
10
Follow Ceraphina.
In the temple, head down the stairs to the left, and you will reach a lava-blocked gap. Press the button at the top of the northern stairs to raise the bridge and cross into the Forbidden Temple: Lower Floor.

Before crossing, there is also an Elite Enemy: Menacing Ashen Remnant on the southern stairs of this area.
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. Second button north of the raised bridge to open a gate.
5. Central Pillar that stops the lava flow ahead so you can go forward.

With the 5 interactions pressed in order, the flow of lava blocking the path will stop, and you can move on to the next area. Before going, there are 5 Chests in the zone as well as an Elite Enemy: Menacing Blood Revenant in the southwest corner.
12
Head past the pillar, where you will find Ceraphina at the end of the hall. Approaching her starts the boss fight with the Towering Idol, so make sure your party is fully healed before proceeding.
13
Defeat the Towering Idol.
The Towering Idol frequently uses attacks that hit your entire front row. 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. Carry plenty of Herbs of SP Aid, as you will need the SP for both this boss and the one that immediately follows. Use row-wide buffs to keep your stats up, since she regularly lowers them throughout the battle.

The boss Ceraphina is weak to Polearms, Bows, Lightning, Wind, and Dark.
16
Defeat Lyblac.
Lyblac frequently applies debuffs, so keep your party buffed to offset them. Use multi-hit skills like Stormblade to chip through her high 24 Shield Points more quickly.

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.
