At Journey's End (True Ending) Walkthrough

Quest Objectives

1
Activate the strange monument.
After Chapter 8’s ending cutscenes, you will return to the Garden of Sin with a strange monument to the right of the stairs. Activate it and agree to roll back to just after the battle against Orsazantos. We recommend making a save point before doing this.
2
Head to Flamebearer's Shrine.
After the rollback, travel first to Flamebearer's Shrine to the west of heaven.
3
Touch the light.
Inside the shrine, touch the blue flame at the end of the hall to travel to the Flamebearer's Shrine: Sanctum.
4
In the Sanctum, go up the stairs north into the next room. There is a save point in the hall before the stairs.
5
Take on the trial.
Keep going north until you reach the large blue flame shrine. Activate it and take on the trial to battle Aelfric the Flamebearer.
6
Defeat Aelfric the Flamebearer.
Aelfric the Flamebearer is a lengthy boss fight with multiple Aelfrics you must defeat. After defeating the first Aelfric phase, he will respawn a few more times, each with a different set of weaknesses.
7
Head to the Heavens.
After besting Aelfric, activate the glowing light portal slightly left of the shrine. Accept the prompt to travel back to the Heavens.
8
Go to the Altar of Heavenly Peals.
Enter the Garden of Sin from the entrance while in the Heavens.
9
Keep heading north through until you reach the shrines and save point again, and activate the frontmost fire to travel to the Altar of Heavenly Peals.
10
Touch the light at the top of the Altar to travel back to the home of you and Sazantos.
11
Head to the cabin.
Go north and enter the cabin.
12
Do what you desire.
Use the Illuminate path action on all three of the NPCs in the cabin to proceed to the true ending:

Illuminate Order:
1.: The Protagonist, the baby in the cradle
2.: Pharamea, next to the cradle
3.: Sazantos after Illuminating the first two

After Illuminating all three, a cutscene will transition and bring you back to the Altar of Heavenly Peals with Sazantos.
13 Confront Galdera
Confront Galdera.
To initiate the true final boss, activate the purple light in front of you and select Save and Proceed. After saving, you can set up your parties, as you will be facing Ol’galdera using all the companions you have unlocked.

The battle is divided into eight squads, which rotate each turn to the next party you prepared. Ideally, you should have all 36 Characters available to fully form your teams. Once your parties are ready, proceed to the final battle.

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.

After defeating Ol'galdera, the rest is watching the true ending unfold before you can enter the post game! Here, you can fight the Optional Super Boss, or finish other content not yet complete.

Weaknesses

Aelfric the Flamebringer is accompanied by the Great Flame enemy which you should ignore during the entire fight since it has a massive amount of HP and resistances that makes it impossible to defeat.

The Great Flame may remove buffs on your front line party but is generally harmless so focus all of your attacks and debuffs of Aelfric.

The Great Flame will revive Aelfric twice during the fight, which also increases his shields. He'll also change his weakness every time he's revived, though he's always weak to Dark damage in each phase.

Characters that can inflict Dark attacks such as Alexia are good for this fight. Reime is another good pick since her Master of Shadows skill can deal heavy Dark damage to the boss especially when boosted.
