Learn how to recruit Murchand, unlock new side quests like 'The Gates to Nhysa' and 'For the Love of Food', and explore the Fiorwoods in this comprehensive Chained Together walkthrough.
With Murchand joining your clan, you'll achieve CLAN RANK 3 on Hermit Island. This brings visual changes to your island, new interactions with clan members like Eddie (who can change background music), and importantly, two new side quests.
Side Quest 1: The Gates to Nhysa
Head to the right side of Hermit Island and talk to Maddeleine, a scholar washed ashore. She's on a quest to find Nhysa and will give you the objective: Enter the Ograne Grottos through the Rohlan Fields and help Maddeleine.
Side Quest 2: For the Love of Food
Enter the house above the farm house on Hermit Island. You'll see a scene with Mikah eating. She will then run off to search for ingredients. This starts the side quest with the objective: Follow Mikah into the Ograne Grottos.
Fiorwoods Exploration
You can now explore the Fiorwoods and fight the DRAGONS that were previously too strong. Note that your Sky Armor cannot be used here.
- Head to the middle-left map and defeat the two Forest Wyrms. Use Glenn's ultra move, Sienna's blade reflect, or Victor's healing and buffs. Applying Toxic and Bleed is effective.
- After defeating the dragons, find a chest containing [_PLATINUM ORE x3_].
- Head east, then north, then west to find two more dragons. Defeat them and enter the cave beyond to activate a SWITCH needed for an upcoming side quest.
- Leave the cave, head west, and find a chest with [_ANCIENT SKULL x4_].
- Return east and ascend to the walkways above the forest. Explore for [_CRYSTAL x3_].
- Head south down the central path to find a FAST TRAVEL point. Enter the southwest portion of the map.
- Head left to find a chest with [_1,900a_].
- Continue east, grabbing a [_CRYSTAL_]. You'll find an abandoned house to the left, which is currently empty.
- Continue south, grabbing another [_CRYSTAL_] as you head west.
- Follow the path north (there's a west path) to find a chest with a [_RAINCOAT_].
- Go to the northwest screen of the map using the wooden walkways.
- Follow the paths north and east to find an adventurer's guild member. Continue east for a [_CRYSTAL_] and a chest with [_CHAIN MAIL_].
- Follow the path north, then east to find [_CRYSTAL x2_] and a chest with [_MEAL x2_].
- Head west and south to the ground, then keep going west. Take the southern path to find a new, unnamed area.
- Open the chest in this area for a [_HEALING BELT_].
You are now ready to progress into the Ograne Grottos for the side quests.
