Objectives
1
・Get the Key
At the start of the mission, go to the door just past the Cube, and fight the enemies in the hall. Open the chest to get the key for the next door. Go back to the Cube and up the stairs to reach another area with enemies. Kill them and open the chest, then open another door that leads to the one where you can use the key.
2
・Pass through the Hall of Traitors
After unlocking the door, you can enter the Hall of Traitors. Keep following the hallway until you reach a set of stairs that leads to a door.

Beyond the door is a Coeurl that you can fight. Continue up the stairs until you reach a Cube.

・Cross the Crimson Ramparts
Open the door past the Cube to reach the Crimson Ramparts. A ballista will constantly fire at your location, dealing heavy damage when hit. To get past this section, go to the right until you see a tower with a Harpie on the top. Kill the Harpie and drop down the ledge to proceed to an area that has 3 paths.

When you go to the path to the left that leads to a ladder near the end. Go down the ladder and walk over the roofs and ladders until you reach a ladder that leads to a Cube near the tower where the Ballista is located. Go up the tower to break the Ballista to continue the mission. You can also take the path on the left of the Cube to face a Griffon.

Continue towards the roofs, until you reach a bridge that leads to the castle. Inside the castle you will face enemies near a chest that contains a key to the door. This door gives you access to the Cube you found earlier. Go back inside after using the Cube to use the elevator.

Tips and Strategies

How to Get Through Crimson Ramparts


After opening the door and entering the area, go to the right and to the tower on the left of the path.

Go up the tower and drop down using the gap on the wall.

Follow the path until you reach a point with three routes.

The path to the right leads to a Tonberry.

The path in the middle leads to a Cube and a locked door you can open later in the mission.

The path to the left is the main path that leads to a tower where you can reach the Ballista.

Go up to the Ballista and break it, and then go down to the roofs.

Follow the path next to the roof, until you reach a bridge that leads to a castle.

The Crimson Ramparts is an area where you will be constantly pushed to move fast and fight while ballista fire tries to take you down. This is why getting through this in the quickest way possible is the best approach to survive.
