Step-by-Step Guide
1
Choose Lid's Stat Boost
| Dialogue Options | Stat |
|---|---|
| 1. No matter what happens, we'll have your back. | +3 Strength |
| 2. There might be a reason behind your brother's change. | +3 Magic |
| 3. Doesn't matter how far away you are, siblings are siblings. | +3 Stamina |
2
Explore the New Region
Once the cutscene ends, you'll arrive at the Olderion Federation. As usual, take this opportunity to explore the new region for any Visions, items, Mechabo Evolved quest requirements, etc. If you ever leave the continent before you unlock a fast travel location, you can go back to Olderion by taking the boat from Grandport Harbor.

3
Go to the Ruby Cave
Aside from Visions, one thing you don't want to miss out on is the Ruby Cave. If you find all 3 Ruby Fragments and go back to the cave, you will unlock the Carbuncle summon for Fina.

Enter Olderion
After you're done exploring, head into Olderion to continue the main story. Similar to the last chapter, you will want to talk to the town's NPCs to learn about a new ally that will help you on your quest. Once you've talked to the marked NPCs, head to the northwest side of town to meet Nichol. He won't join you just yet, and you'll need to head to the Cave of Waters first before he joins your party.

5
Go to the Cave of Waters
When you're ready, head to the Cave of Waters to meet up with Nichol and have him join your team. Since there can only be 4 active members in the party, you will need to swap someone out if you want to use him. Once you're done fixing your team, feel free to explore the cave while you're making your way to the save point at the back. Best Party Setup and Team
6
Defeat the Wave Lopros
Make a save and heal up before facing the boss of this dungeon, the Water Lopros. It's weak to Ice and fights alongside two Snappers that are weak to Wind and Lightning. Make sure to kill off the Snappers first since they can be annoying and will empower the boss if it devours them. 7
Head Back to Olderion
After the boss has been defeated, you can head back to Olderion to continue the story. Move to the northwest part of town to trigger a cutscene, then make a save immediately after.
You won't be able to leave the next area once you enter it, so make sure to complete side quests, beat optional bosses, obtain Visions, and grind EXP before you proceed.

When you're ready, go through the northwest side of Olderion to enter the Old Town. For this section, you'll mainly want to build around 9
Defeat the Water Dragon
Once you reach the northeast side of Old Town, heal and save before going into the boss fight with the Water Dragon. This boss can be a bit tricky since there are only three party members, and the boss attacks twice per turn, but it should be fine as long as you cast Protectga, Shellga, and Lightning attacks. After the boss has been defeated, you'll spawn back in Olderion with Lasswell and Nichol. Remember to reorganize your party and equipment in case you removed anything from them during the Old Town section.
10
Go to Lake Dorr and Fight Leviathan
The next part of the story will have you going towards Lake Dorr, which can be accessed by going through the western side of the Cave of Waters. Just be prepared when entering the area since you'll immediately be thrown into a boss battle with Leviathan. Make sure you bring Cloud and a wide variety of elemental types into this fight. The main gimmick for this boss is that you'll need to repeatedly kill Orbs of Light, but their weaknesses keep changing depending on the type of orb that spawns.
11
Rest at the Inn in Olderion
Once you've defeated the boss, you can head back to Olderion and rest at the inn to progress the story. Make sure to also check the newly unlocked Lv. 2 Limit Bursts in case any of the new options change your opinion of which party setup you want to use.
After some cutscenes, a new party member will join at the cost of a different character temporarily leaving. Take some time to read their skills and adjust your party before continuing on your journey.

12
Go to Waterfall Way
When you're ready, leave Olderion and head northwest towards Waterfall Way. While exploring the dungeon, you will eventually bump into Gilgamesh again. Make sure to talk to him before reaching the altar and leaving the dungeon to go to Warden's Cape. 13
Explore Newly Unlocked Area
Once you leave Warden's Cape through the northern exit, you'll now be able to access the north side of this region. Take some time to explore the area for any new collectables before heading north to continue the main quest. 14
Enter the Water Shrine
When you're ready, head north to approach Warden's Cape and enter the Water Shrine. Unlike the previous shrines, this one has some puzzles you will need to solve, such as adjusting water levels and pushing boxes to create a bridge when the water level is raised. 15
Defeat Alluvion
Once you've reached the bottom of the shrine, make a save and do any final preparations before facing the last boss of this chapter, Alluvion. All the enemies that spawn in this fight are weak to Lightning, and you'll want to use a tank that has high magic defense, as well as a Monk's Prayer Beads and Calm Armlet equipped to negate any ailments applied by the boss. 16
Return to Olderion
| Dialogue Options | Stat |
|---|---|
| 1. Give us some pointers on strategy again. We're counting on you. | +10 HP |
| 2. We're a proper team now, so we've got your back! | +3 Magic |
| 3. You be you, Nichol, and don't hold back with the suggestions. | +3 Speed |
Nichol has the fastest Speed among all party members, so you can further lean into that with the third option to ensure he always acts first. However, you can also look to increase his HP a bit with the first option, since he is one of the squishiest characters in the game.
17
Finish Any Extra Detours
Once the cutscenes are over, the last thing for this chapter is to head to the dock and sail towards the Zoldaad Empire Territory. As usual, finish anything you may have missed out on, like optional bosses or obtaining Visions, before moving on to Chapter 4.
