Headwind Main Quest Walkthrough

After the cutscenes, head upstairs and out of the muck. Follow the linear path to the dungeon. Get Cid’s help opening a gate, then head upstairs and through a door to exit outside.

You'll find some Royalists waiting for you. Dispatch them and continue through another door. Search the wall opposite the door to find a window and jump through.

Once through the window, turn right. You can either go up the stairs or pass under the archway to the left; both routes lead to your destination.

If you go up the stairs: Follow the linear route and pass through a gate to encounter more Royalists, including a Royal Gandfreyr (mage). Kill them, pass through another gate, head downstairs, and dispatch two Royalists. Loot a chest beside the stairs for 5x Spools of Steelsilk. Go down the stairs opposite the chest, grabbing 2x Pinches of Magicked Ash along the way. Go through a door to reach a courtyard where you’ll fight a Royal Tognvaldr.

If you go through the archway: After the archway, turn right and grab some Wyrrite. Go up some stairs to reach the battlements, where you’ll find a Potion near a corpse. Return down the stairs and continue forward, snagging some Steelsilk to the left. Climb atop a wooden platform, then drop down and defeat a large group of Royalists, including two Royal Gandfreyr (mages). Go through a doorway to the left to re-enter the keep interior, turn right and pass through some doors, stopping to grab a Bloody Hide to the left. You’ll find yourself out in a courtyard where you’ll fight a Royal Tognvaldr.

After defeating the Royal Tognvaldr, continue through a gate, go up some stairs and grab a Potion. Ignore the stairs to your right and go forward to plunder a chest for The Favor of Fire accessory (Scarlet Cyclone +8% damage). Go up the previously neglected stairs to snag 2x Sharp Fangs, then continue to the top of the stairs to interrupt two Royalists. Chase them up more stairs and through a gate to find yourself in a large encounter with three waves of enemies.

Most of the foes are familiar, but new Royal Folkstaf guard against frontal assaults, and Royal Mastiffs appear in the second wave. Use Scarlet Cyclone effectively against these mobs.

After defeating the ambushing enemies, continue through some arches and go through a large door to reach the chapel. Ahead, you’ll find a Potion. Through some arches to the left is a treasure chest containing 10x Bloody Hides. Continue forward through a gate to proceed deeper into the chapel.

Watch the scenes that follow, and Clive will be given two more minibosses to fight.
