Walkthrough
- 1Puerto Valor: After a scene with Hendrik, explore the town. Head to the beach and enter the dwelling at the foot of the hill. Go upstairs to find an Ultimate Key door with a chest containing a piece of Technicolour Dreamcloth. Check the casino prizes.
- 2Puerto Valor - Quest Initiation: Go to Don Rodrigo's house and proceed to his room for a scene. You are tasked with defeating two giants in the Kingsbarrow using the Executioner pep ability. If necessary, redo Hendrik and Sylvando's skills to unlock it.
- 3The Kingsbarrow: Zoom to the Emerald Coast and make your way to the Kingsbarrow. Navigate to the very bottom of the dungeon for a boss battle against Tweedledoom and Tweedledeath.
- 4Boss Battle - Tweedledoom and Tweedledeath: It is helpful to have Hendrik pre-pepped. Equip the Mystic card on Hendrik to increase his pep-up rate. This battle is tedious. Use Serena's Snap, Crackle, Poof on everyone. Hendrik should cast Kabuff, and Hero should attack. Sylvando can focus on healing. The enemies use Seismic Shock. When Hendrik is pepped up, use Executioner to defeat one enemy. A Pep Pip can be used if you don't want to wait. After their defeat, Hendrik and Sylvando unlock new skill blocks: Fraternity and Chivalry, respectively.
- 5Gallopolis: Zoom to Gallopolis. Enter the city and go down the well to your right to open an Ultimate Key door containing a Fire Ball. The armourer sells the Superstar's Suit. During the day, participate in the Platinum Cup at the racetrack. Winning the easy race yields a Forging Hammer; the difficult race prize is a greatsword.
- 6Gallopolis - Sidequest: Go to the palace and talk to Prince Faris in his bedchamber. Agree to fetch a branch from the Pepper Tree to initiate Perfectly Pepped Paladins. Examine the right-hand bookshelf in his room for the third of Drustan's teachings. The Pepper Tree is located in the First Forest Whale Way Station.
- 7Champs Sauvage: Zoom to the southern Champs Sauvage campsite to proceed to Phnom Nonh. Go south to the Promontory Cave and examine the bookshelf for the fourth of Drustan's teachings.
- 8The Eerie Eyrie: If interested in expanding your bestiary, explore the Eerie Eyrie for new enemies.
- 9Phnom Nonh: Make your way to Phnom Nonh. Go up to the level with the shops (consider buying the Archdemon Whip). Go up another level and enter the dwelling to the north. Upstairs, find a little girl lying on a bed and agree to help her to initiate Sweet Dreams.
- 10Phnom Nonh - Curse: Go to the level with the church and talk to the child to learn about the curse. Go to the Nhou Wat ruins where you'll find an Ultimate Key door. Open it for a chest containing a Gold Bar. Enter the ruins and cross over to the Other Side.
- 11The Other Side: Navigate this area towards the Cursed Cloisters. Take the turning towards the Phnom Nonh exit point and investigate the large chest on the path to find the Mega Mimic. Defeat it and open the chest it leaves behind for an ELFIN CHARM.
- 12The Other Side - Boss Battle: Reach the save point and equip for fire and wind protection. Go up to the Accursed Altar for a scene and boss battle against the Malicious Grey Gordon. This enemy is not too difficult if you use Sap. He uses fire and wind magic and summons help. Kaboomle is effective against his summons. He drops a piece of KALEIDOCLOTH upon defeat.
