After the cutscene with Augusta, Iuno, and Lupa, fly to Sanguis Plateaus and fight the hordes of enemies until you reach the hunting grounds.

Talk to Qiuyuan

After talking with Quiyuan, head to the semi-sealed Dark Tide hole where Iuno and Augusta are waiting. You can easily spot this by flying and following the stream of Dark Tide around the area.

Follow Chimera

1 Follow the Chimera

Follow Chimera and grapple towards the Memory Shard left inside the Dark Tide. Interact with it to learn more about Galbrena.
2
Defeat the wave of enemies. They are tougher than they look as they have the protection of the Paradise Shelter.
3
Interact with the next Memory Shard next to Chimera.
4
Use the Lantern of Napoli the Second to track the trace. Slide down the hole and change the scenery once more with the lantern to pave the way.
5
Continue inside the Dark Tide as its world changes until you see another Memory Shard next to Chimera.

Defeat the Guardian Mortarch

Defeat the Guardian Mortarch.png

Build up the lantern's frequency throughout the fight. With enough frequency, switch up the worlds to remove the Paradise Shelter that's protecting the two Mortarchs.

Use the Sentinel's Powers

Use the Sentinel

After the fight with the Guardian Mortach, you will fly down a long hole with Galbrena. Use the lantern and the Sentinel's powers whenever Leviathan tries to block your way.

Reach Styx Lake

You will reach a long hall filled with Tidedspawns. Defeat all of them using Rover and Galbrena to proceed to the next area. Don't forget to check the HP bar at the top-center of the screen to see if you're close to defeating them.

Afterwards, keep running forward past the long hallway and the stairs until you reach Styx Lake. Examine the stele to continue.

Purify the Anchor Stone

After riding the boat with Kharon, run across the long hallways until you spot a group of Tidedspawn. Defeat all of them, and run towards the Anchor Stone to purify it.

Who is the Grand Architect?

Defeat Scar

Eventually, you'll have to stop Scar with the help of Qiuyuan! Use this opportunity to learn the moves and abilities of the upcoming character.

Qiuyuan Banner Release Date and Characters

Meet With Cristoforo

After leaving Galbrena with Kharon, keep running forward and defeat the two Tacet Discord Knights. Grapple your way on top of the bridge and defeat the next wave of enemies.

Once you're inside the building, you can listen to the cries of the holograms as you keep moving forward. Head outside the building and follow the carpet until it leads you to the top of a staircase.

Reach Rover

1 How to Reach Rover

Aim Galbrena's Feather Blade at the spot where you want to land, as she will teleport to it.
2
There are rubbles hidden in the other world. Press the button that activates the lantern's powers to change the world and to continue forward!
3
Wind drafts are also scattered across the rubble, so be sure to walk to them to jump to the other side. Failing to do so will cause Galbrena to fall.
4
You could also defeat enemies by shooting them with Galbrena's gun. These are all the things you need to know to help Galbrena reach Rover in the Journeying Paradise!

Guide Rover to the End

Guide Rover to reach the end of the island. On the way, you can also interact with the gravestones to know who they are for.

After the cutscene, follow the path of light until the end, all while listening to the cheers of your friends.

Clear the Cocoons

Clear the Cocoons.png

After being separated from the rest of the team, target the grey cocoons in the midst of the enemies. This should make them vulnerable and easier to deal with!

Defeat the Threnodian

1 How to Defeat Threnodian: Leviathan
Defeat the Threnodian 1.png
With the Threnodian given form, defeat her with Rover and Galbrena! Be careful, as it will have two forms attacking you, all while drops of Dark Tide are falling from above.
2
Thankfully, your allies will grant you a permanent shield once your health goes low. You will also receive other offensive support from them!
3
By the second phase, Cartethyia will join your team! You could also use a team attack feature similar to Dream Link that would buff your damage and instantly activate all of the Resonator's skills.

Find Galbrena

Once you're back in Ragunna City, look for Galbrena at Margherita's Restaurant. She and Rover will have a long talk until it's time to head to the city's harbor. It is the same place you arrived at when you first started your journey in Rinascita back in the Thou Break Quest.

Ragunna City Map Guide

Optional: Talk to the Other Characters

Before meeting up with Galbrena, you could explore Ragunna City to talk to the other Rinascita characters. You'd learn more about their lore, specifcally about their plans in rebuilding Ragunna.
