Chapter 8 - Relink

After the opening cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (an event that plays during gameplay), you will gain control of the captain outside Seedhollow Castle.

You cannot enter the main city but can access wayfarer services. Siero (merchant), the Blacksmith, and the Quest Counter Receptionist are available outside the Castle entrance.

Two Archive Entries (collectible lore items) can be found in this area: "Memo from Zathba" and "Order for Emergency Supplies".

The Airship Docks are located to the side, allowing travel back to Folca.

Talk to Siero on the lower level to receive a new Crewmate Card, enabling you to recruit another party member via Siero's trade menu.

A new Quest, "Sweep the Volcano", is available at the Quest Counter.

New Fate Episodes (story-related character events) for Rackam and Eugen, and potentially other recruited characters, can be viewed by talking to the Quest Counter Receptionist.

There are no new Side Quests, but you can report the completed "Save the Crustaceans Origins" to its client in Folca. Use the airship dock to travel to Folca and gather items from treasure chests and collection points before returning to Seedhollow.

To resume the main story, talk to Zathba on the upper level, then speak with Rolan near the large doors before entering Seedhollow Castle.

Inside the Castle, proceed through the Corridor of Peace. You will find two Treasure Chests (containing Rupies, MSP, Fortitude Crystal (S), Skilled Assault II, Busted Manikin, Aviaeth Prayer Book, Patalena Glass, and Bloomsword Hilt) and the Archive Entry "Urgent Missive".

Collect a Wee Pincer (a type of collectible) on the floor by a sword rack on the left side of the corridor.

Continue through the corridor and open the door. Another Wee Pincer is in a small alcove on the right.

Engage and defeat the initial contingent of the Silver Wolf Corps blocking the corridor. More enemies, including Inquisitor Rook and Droita Balsam, will appear.

After the battle, proceed through the Corridor of Peace until you reach rubble. Rolan will clear it, allowing you to pass through the door.

At a T-intersection, find a Collection Point (a spot to gather resources) and a Wee Pincer down a short dead-end corridor to the left.

Turn around and go in the opposite direction, through the open door. After some explosions, you will fall into the cellars.

Upon entering the cellars, find a Collection Point on your left.

Skirt around the rubble and proceed down a carpeted corridor.

Before the corridor turns left, open Treasure Chest (3) on your left (containing Rupies, MSP, Prism Chip x4, Busted Manikin, and Aviaeth Prayer Book).

Around the corner, open Treasure Chest (4) on the left (containing Rupies, Light Shard x2, Busted Manikin, and Aviaeth Prayer Book). A Goldslime is at the corner between these chests.

On the outer edge of this corner, pick up the Archive Entry "493rd Seedhollow GA Notes".

Continue down the corridor to find a Hallowed Ground crystal (a save point) and then save your progress.

The corridor turns right. Open Treasure Chest (5) across the corridor from the Hallowed Ground. It contains a Matchlock, a new Stunner weapon for Eugen, Rupies, and Patalena Glass.

The corridor makes a U-turn. Enter the large hall through the door ahead.

You will face a large group of Aviaeth forces led by Reaper Avalan. The exit is sealed by magic.

Archers are positioned on balconies along the long walls. Use the stairways near the sealed exit to reach the balconies and eliminate them.

After clearing the hall, find a Collection Point on one balcony near the entrance.

Open Treasure Chest (6) at the end of the balcony on the opposite side of the entrance (containing Rupies, MSP, Fortitude Crystal (S) x5, Busted Manikin, Aviaeth Prayer Book, and Bloomsword Hilt).

Defeating the Aviaeth forces lifts the seal on the exit.

After passing through the exit door, Shrouded Treasure Chest (7) appears near the center of the hall. Backtrack to the hall to open it (containing Champion Merit, Mirage Stones, and other items).
