Complete walkthrough for Chapter 5 of Valiant Hearts: The Great War, covering the Unexpected Reunion, finding Achilles, new enemies, and collecting all Stardust and Confessions.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start, go left towards the windwheels, where Achilles is rumored to be. Investigate flying pigs by using FF (Fireflies) to check for 'illuminating ink'. Rubella will comment on circus gear.
  2. 2
    Encounter new enemies: a strong, slow rock goblin and a stumpy tree weak to fire. Later, you'll face geodudes with strong defenses and enemies that counter physical attacks.
  3. 3
    Aurora's sister, Norah, joins your party. She has low stats but can use QUICKEN, SLOW, and PARALYZE spells. Use her at the start of battles for buffs, then swap her out.
  4. 4
    Fly left from Norah to find CONFESSION #7. Continue until you pass the second hollowed mountain.
  5. 5
    To the left, find an HP STARDUST. At the base of the mountain, a red door leads into a mine.
  6. 6
    Inside the mine, use FF to send them through a wall for a DEF STARDUST. A fire ghost lady (approx. 200 HP, weak to water) is here.
  7. 7
    Further in, find another door to more loot and a MAGIC STARDUST. Open a closed door with a switch, then push a crate onto another switch to access the final room.
  8. 8
    The final room contains loot, your first ROUGH CITRINE OCULI, and CONFESSION #2.
  9. 9
    Back outside, continue left past another mountain with a windwheel. Flip switches to open the path. Rotate the wheel 3/4 of a full turn to open the path between the lower doors.
  10. 10
    Find a STRENGTH STARDUST. A flying pig here is ACHILLES. Collect him and take him to the lady in Capilli for 4 HP STARDUSTS.
  11. 11
    Follow signs towards Bolmus Populi, initially pointing left, then upwards towards a mountain.
  12. 12
    Before going up the mountain, explore the far left for treasures and an easy miniboss fight.
  13. 13
    Find secret treasure rooms. One has rising/falling lava and requires FF to light switches. Another mine outside has a man needing light.
  14. 14
    In the furthest left area, a door leads to a miniboss: a fiery sphere (approx. 300 HP, very weak to water) with smaller enemies. Defeating him yields a DEFSTAR.
  15. 15
    Fly up the mountain to reach Bolmus Populi.
