A Nation Frozen in Time Walkthrough
Quest Objectives
| 1 |  Speak to King Solon. Enter the throne room of Castle Edoras and talk to King Solon. After the cutscene, Tatloch joins your party and can now be a resident of Wishvale. |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 11 |  Return to the central area of the castle and use the key you got to unlock the large door. Upon entering, you'll find that the drawbridge to the throne room is lifted up, and you will need two keys to operate the devices located on both sides of the stairs. |
| 12 |  Proceed to Hell: Hornburg Castle - Western Central Area and enter the easternmost room upstairs, then jump down the hole. |
| 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 into a series of fights against Rondo the Knight Ardante and a couple of Sacred Flames. |
| 24 |  Undertake the final trial.] After defeating Rondo, 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. |
