Guide to Chapter 5 of Child of Light, including finding Achilles, recruiting Norah, and obtaining the Rough Citrine Ocui.
Walkthrough
- 1From the start, go left towards the windwheels, the supposed location of Achilles. Investigate all flying pigs by using Finn's (FF) light to check for 'illuminating ink'.
- 2Be aware of new enemies: a strong, slow rock goblin and a stumpy tree thing weak to fire. Later, you'll encounter geodudes with strong defenses and enemies that counter physical attacks.
- 3Aurora's sister, Norah, joins your party. She has low stats except for DEF and SPEED, but possesses TIME MAGE spells like QUICKEN, SLOW, and PARALYZE. Consider switching her in at the start of battles for buffs and then replacing her.
- 4Flying left from Norah's position yields CONFESSION #7.
- 5Continue past the second hollowed mountain. To the left, find an HP STARDUST. At the base is a red door leading to a mine.
- 6Inside the mine, use Finn's (FF) light through a wall to collect a DEF STARDUST.
- 7The mine contains a fire ghost lady (approx. 200 HP) who can counterattack and is likely weak to water.
- 8Proceed deeper into the mine to find another door with more loot and a nearby MAGIC STARDUST.
- 9Open a closed door with a switch, then push a crate onto another switch to reveal a floordoor leading to the final room. This room contains significant loot, including your first ROUGH CITRINE OCULI and CONFESSION #2.
- 10Exit the mine and continue flying left until you pass through another mountain containing a windwheel. You'll need to flip switches to open the path.
- 11Rotate the windwheel 3/4 of a full turn to open the path between the lower doors.
- 12Find a STRENGTH STARDUST in this area.
- 13A flying pig here is Achilles. Collect him and later deliver him to the lady in Capilli for a reward of 4 HP STARDUSTS.
- 14Follow signs pointing towards Bolmus Populi, initially directing left, then upwards.
- 15When facing the mountain you're meant to ascend, keep going left to find treasures and an easy miniboss.
- 16Discover more doors to secret treasure rooms. One contains rising and falling lava and requires Finn (FF) to light switches to open doors.
- 17Another mine outside has a man at the bottom who asks for light.
- 18In the furthest left area, a door leads to a miniboss fight against a fiery sphere guy (approx. 300 HP), who is very weak to water. He is accompanied by regular-sized enemies. If you are around level 20, you should be prepared.
- 19Defeating the fiery sphere miniboss earns you a DEFSTAR.
- 20Fly up the mountain from this area to reach the town.
Tips
- Norah can be useful at the start of battles for her buffs before being swapped out.
- Keep an eye out for hidden paths and switches, especially when dealing with windwheels and lava rooms.
- Exploit enemy weaknesses, particularly the fire ghost lady's potential weakness to water and the fiery sphere miniboss's weakness to water.
- Don't forget to return Achilles to the lady in Capilli for a reward.
