Follow our detailed walkthrough for the Past Secrets section of I Am Setsuna, including Archimell Ruins and the boss fight against Reaper.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the Archimell Ruins by moving north and using the teleportation button.
  2. 2
    Head east and use the pedestal to create a path with floating blocks.
  3. 3
    Continue west, then south down stairs, and up more stairs to find another pedestal. Use it to create a bridge and cross.
  4. 4
    Go straight south for another pedestal. Cross the bridge to the south, then descend eastern steps to find a chest containing the Counterstrike Talisman.
  5. 5
    Return to the area before the created bridge and head west. Take the western stairs to find a chest at the north end containing the Blue Frost weapon for Endir.
  6. 6
    Return to the split and take the southern stairs to another pedestal.
  7. 7
    Trek back to the first bridge you made, head south, then west, following the path to a new area.
  8. 8
    In the new area, go west to activate a pedestal, then south to access a bridge.
  9. 9
    Continue along the path until a cutscene triggers, transporting Endir and Nidr. Listen to the conversations as you move north.
  10. 10
    Once you regain control, take the teleporter to your west. Head north, ignoring the western path (leads to a locked chest).
  11. 11
    At the next split, go north to open a chest containing an Elixir.
  12. 12
    Keep going south and you'll encounter a three-way fork. Ignore the eastern path (inactive teleporter) and take the southern road.
  13. 13
    Hit the pedestal on the southern road to create a bridge along the western path.
  14. 14
    Take the western path. In the small area, grab the chest on the eastern end containing the Magic Seal Talisman. Head south to another area.
  15. 15
    Follow the path to a three-way split. The southern path leads to a dead end with a save point.
  16. 16
    Explore the western path to find a chest with Hi-Potion x4.
  17. 17
    Explore the eastern path to find a chest with the Ribbon Chakram (weapon for Setsuna).
  18. 18
    With the bridge formed, go south from the save point to face the boss.

BOSS - Reaper (3)

Reaper returns with enhanced attacks. He uses Dark Mist and Helix Slash, and introduces Cursed Slash (deals good damage, may inflict Sap) and Absorb (heals HP/MP when attacking). Use Antidotes or Endir's Momentum'ed Aura to cure Sap. At 50% HP, Reaper uses Absorb.

Strategy:

  • Buff your party with Protect and Wall (Momentum for all) at the start.
  • Use Techs that inflict status ailments, such as Endir/Nidr's Blowbeat or Aeterna's Dream Shatterer.
  • Keep your health up and maintain consistent attacks.
  • After defeating Reaper, he will escape, allowing you to leave the dungeon via the nearby teleporter.
