Complete walkthrough for Chapter 6: Of Mice and Magma in Child of Light. Includes steps for Adolphus's trade, Bolmus's basement quest, and the spider boss fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In the town of the 'populi' (rat-people), find Adolphus in a tower. He initiates a trading sequence, asking you to bring him gold after giving you an apple.
  2. 2
    Inside a house, accept a quest from Bolmus to clear his basement of monsters. This magmatic cavern contains fiery ghosts and spiders. Augment weapons with sapphire oculi for fire resistance. Some enemies are hidden in chests. Solve environmental puzzles to progress. Find an HP STARDUST behind a false wall near the beginning. The reward for clearing the basement is MAGIDUSTS.
  3. 3
    Go to the left side of town to meet the MAYOR. He will only speak after you resolve the town's economic issues.
  4. 4
    Outside, you'll meet YOUNG MOUSE ROBERT. He joins your party and leads you to the mountainside, convincing it to open a path to the city vault.
  5. 5
    Robert is an archer who can cure ailments, slow foes, and perform an extra attack on a killing blow. He is fast and has high critical hit and dodge potential. His SLOW ability is particularly useful.
  6. 6
    The quest requires killing four spiders plaguing Magna. This dungeon is filled with fiery foes; if you used water-powered oculi previously, they remain effective.
  7. 7
    In the center of the dungeon, find a large pink heart with a spider boss. Before fighting her, locate three other special spiders at the end of branching hallways.
  8. 8
    From the pink heart, go straight down and slightly left to find CONFESSION #9. Slightly right is a DEFSTAR.
  9. 9
    Going down from the DEFSTAR leads to the BOLMUS VAULT. Robert will leave your party unless you help him break in. The vault puzzle involves rotating symbols above the door to match the door's symbols; pull both switches twice. Inside, Robert rejoins you. Ignore his warning and take all treasure from the chests.
  10. 10
    To find the spiders: one is on the left side of the area with a MAGDEFSTAR nearby. Another is on the bottom right, with a door above it leading to a dark room containing a STRSTAR. The last spider is to the right of the pink heart.
  11. 11
    These three spiders are armored and have high magic resistance, so use physical attacks. They have around 400 HP each and no specific weaknesses. After killing each spider, their cobwebs explode.
  12. 12
    Once all three spiders are dead, return to the pink heart to fight the queen spider boss. Aurora should be around level 26 for this fight.
Tips
  • Augment weapons with sapphire oculi for the magmatic cavern to counter fiery enemies.
  • Use physical attacks against the armored spiders due to their high magic resistance.
  • Robert's SLOW ability is very useful for controlling enemies.
  • Clearing Bolmus's basement: MAGIDUSTS
  • HP STARDUST (found behind a false wall in the basement)
  • DEFSTAR (near the Bolmus Vault)
  • MAGDEFSTAR (near a spider)
  • STRSTAR (in a dark room accessible from the bottom right area)
