Etrian Odyssey Part 5 covers your first mission, Adventurer's Initiation, and exploring the Emerald Grove B1F.
Walkthrough
- 1Head to Radha Hall to accept the mission 'Adventurer's Initiation'. You will receive a map and instructions.
- 2Visit Shilleka's Goods to purchase starting equipment. Consider a Wood Bow for a Survivalist, a Hatchet or Scramasax for a Landsknecht, a Scramasax for a Protector, or a Light Whip for a Dark Hunter. Purchase armor and Medica if desired.
- 3Save your game at the Rooster Inn if you wish.
- 4Go to the Plaza and select Forest Entrance, then Yggdrasil Labyrinth.
- 5On B1F of Emerald Grove, head North. You will encounter a soldier who will tutorialize the mapping system (minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)) and show you the area to map.
- 6Explore the area within the dotted red lines, mapping as you go. Prioritize the Northwest section.
- 7In the Northwest, you'll find a dead end with a boot. Inspecting it reveals a Whitestone and triggers an attack by 3 Moles.
- 8After the fight, return to the soldier and begin mapping the right side of the floor. You may need to return to town to rest and save.
- 9On the right side, find an area branching in four directions. Head North to find a crystal (currently unusable).
- 10Head West to find an item collection point. Mark this on your map. To the South of this point, you can eat a red fruit for 10 HP.
- 11Return a bit and go South and West, past the stairs. If you encounter a Clawbug, use magic and have others defend.
- 12To the far West, find a niche containing a rucksack with 100en.
- 13Head North to find a clearing. Do NOT select to rest here, as it will trigger an attack by tough Venomflys. Map the wood item point in this clearing.
- 14Optionally, head to the Northeast area to find 3 treasure chests containing 200en, a Scramasax, and a Medica II.
- 15Return to Radha Hall to report your success. You will receive the Radha Note and 500en.
- 16Take the Radha Note to Shilleka's. She will now sell warp wires for 100en.
- 17Visit the Golden Deer Pub to accept new quests. One quest requires 7 Soft Hides, and another asks for Holy Water from the east side of the 1st floor.
- 18To find the Holy Water, head to the far Southeast corner of the map. Drinking it during the day does nothing, but drinking it at night restores 10 TP.
- 19Return to town to turn in the quests, or proceed to the 2nd floor by walking past the crystal area past the soldier.
Tips
- If your HP (Health Points) and TP (Technique Points) are low, return to town to rest and save. It's better than a game over.
- Save at least 7 Soft Hides and 5 Hard Shells for quests.
- To earn money, create 5 new Survivalists at the Explorer's Guild, put all their points into Chop, and use the warp to the item point. You can earn 400-600en per run by selling harvested Mugworts.
- The Clawbug has high physical defense; use magic attacks against it.
- Drinking Holy Water at night restores 10 TP.
