Complete walkthrough for Part 5 of As Dusk Falls, including detailed steps for finding Nio, crafting essential items like God's Miracle Drug and Forbidden Capsule, and strategies for combat.
Walkthrough
- 1Year 1, 4/1: After intro scenes (one grants the "What were you doing?" trophy), gain control of Ayesha in her workshop. Use the workshop journal for saving, music changes, and resting. The Notebook System tracks goals. Gather *Medicine Materials* from glowing spots outside (each gather takes 2 units of time). Draw water from the well (50 is plenty).
- 2Synthesis: Back in the workshop, examine the cauldron to craft Riesen Ointments using gathered ingredients, completing *Cauldron Combine*.
- 3World Map: Leave the workshop and travel north to the Altugle Herb Garden. Proceed north through the Corridor and into the Depths.
- 4Herb Garden: Complete the *Herb Garden* objective by watching a scene. Meet Keithgriff Hazeldine, who offers advice on finding Nio.
- 5Memory Diary: Return to Ayesha's workshop for a tutorial on the Memory Diary System. Write the *Nio was There!* memory into the diary to progress.
- 6Journey Start: After the opening credits, a new path opens on the world map. Follow it to Dry Valley for a tutorial.
Tips
- Aim for 120 quality rating on crafted items by using high-quality ingredients or quality-increasing traits (Well-Made, Nicely Made, Amazingly Made).
- Useful properties for all items include High Speed LV3 (reduces wait time), Critical LV3 (increases critical chance, stackable to 100%), and Stable Effect 50% (prevents fluctuating damage/healing).
- For healing/support items, consider Gold Honey (HP/MP heal), Keen Sense (evasion/critical), Explosiveness (Quick effect), Reinforce Body (ATK/SPD/RES buff), and Mythic Potency (stats buff).
- God's Miracle Drug is excellent for field healing; add Time Power (from Time Guard Flower) for timed effects like Continuation LV3. Mythic Potency offers a noticeable stat buff. Use Body Energy Powder as an (Elixir) ingredient for other properties.
- Forbidden Capsule's Force Backup (high water effect) grants three actions on the next turn. When used on Ayesha, she can perform two additional actions immediately. Remove side effects by ensuring a high earth value during synthesis. Place any unused buffing properties here.
- For attack items, High Speed LV3, Stable Effect 50%, two Critical LV3s, and Spirit's Anger (from Element Core) are recommended. Properties like Force +XX% may not work. Use a Corundum (Jewel and Precious Ore) to obtain properties.
- Magic Square and Mirage Mirror are timed damage-over-time items. Use them with God's Miracle Drug (with Time Power) as a maximum of three timed items can be active. Mirage Mirror has random bomb effects. Reapply timed effects after they expire.
- Black Eclipse (uses MP) and Exa-Bomb are direct damage items. Use them after timed effects are active and when Ayesha's MP is low for Exa-Bombs.
- The listed dates in the walkthrough are strict initially, especially until the first treasure contest. After that, they are less critical but can affect bazaar shopping and character locations.
