Walkthrough

1
Unlock the Gate of Finis: Complete all Chapter 4 stories and the Side Stories "In Search of Father (II)" and "Daughter of the Dark God (II)" along with their prerequisites.
2
Begin the "Alphas and the Impresario" Side Story: Fast travel to S'warkii, then proceed to North S'warkii Trail and West S'warkii Trail.
3
Defeat the Azure-eyed Tiger: This mini-boss is found a few steps west. It has four shields and is weak to swords, daggers, staves, ice, and wind. It can buff its attack and use Soporific Fang. You'll receive 10,000 Leaves.
4
Unlock "At Journey's End": Speak to the Impresario again after defeating the tiger.
5
Prepare for the Gate of Finis: Fast travel to the Ruins of Hornburg. This is your last chance to save and prepare. The Ruins of Hornburg is southeast of Everhold.
6
Enter the Gate of Finis: Approach the large gates for a scene. This is the point of no return.
7
Defeat the Eight Refights: You will face eight bosses you've previously conquered, now with increased HP and strength. The Warmaster's Divine Skill, especially with a Fortitude build on Olberic, is highly effective for defeating them quickly, ideally in one use of Winnehild's Battle Cry. If not, try with their shields broken or fight them normally.
8
Navigate the Gate of Finis: Inside, blue flames trigger boss fights, and a statue allows character switching. There are eight bosses in total, arranged in two rows of four.
9
Bottom Row Bosses (Left to Right): Simeon (Weak to Spear, Dagger, Staff, Wind, Dark), Miguel (Weak to Sword, Bow, Wind, Dark), Darius (Weak to Spear, Dagger, Axe, Ice, Wind), Dragon (Weak to Sword, Axe, Bow, Ice, Light).

Tips

Essential Support Skills: Saving Grace, Starseer’s Divine Aura, BP Eater, Surpassing Power, Elemental Edge, Patience, Physical Prowess, SP Saver.
Party Composition: Split your characters into two parties. Ensure main damage dealers (Sorcerer, Warmaster) are in separate parties. Include Apothecaries and Clerics in both. A Hunter in each group is useful for Leghold Trap.
Recommended Builds: Primrose (Sorcerer), Tressa (Runelord), H’aanit (Apothecary), Ophilia (Starseer), Olberic (Warbringer), Therion (Merchant), Cyrus (Cleric), Alfyn (Hunter). Refer to the tables in the source for specific skill combinations.
Olberic's Fortitude Build: This build is crucial for quickly defeating the eight refights. Ensure Olberic is at low HP before entering the Gate of Finis.
Losing HP: The Old Storyteller in S'warkii's tavern is a good way to lose HP if needed, especially with low elemental defense.
Save Point: There is a save point before the final stretch leading to the Gate of Finis.
