As soon as you gain control, go to the right and grab the chest (2 MAGIC POTIONS), then head back to the left again. Go past the first waterfall, but don't pass the second, as there's a hidden area in the rocks with an Oculi chest (2 POTENT HEALING TONICS). There's a cliff ahead, with some train tracks below and an enemy.
To the right of this enemy is another slightly hidden area, with some spikes coming out of the walls and a chest below that (2 ROUGH SAPPHIRES). There's also another chest underneath the broken railroad bridge, in the southeast corner (2 LULL ELIXIRS). Now, head to the southwest corner to find an Oculi chest, which contains 2 QUICKEN ELIXIRS.
Now fly to the northwest corner to find another Oculi chest, giving you 2 POTENT HEALING TONICS. You can go through the area with the windmill, but you have to be careful of rotating spikes. Here, you need to go up top and pull a switch to allow passage to the west. As soon as you do, there will be a short cutscene and access to a new party member, Norah.
| Norah is a pretty good party member, as she has access to both buffs and debuffs on her skill trees. One example is Lull, which slows down enemies on the Timeline and the opposite for your party, Quicken. Another upside is that she has Petrify attached to her basic attack, allowing her to stop enemies on the Timeline if it manages to stick. |
Head straight left to find Confession #7 flying around, then straight down to find a chest partially hidden by the foreground (REVIVE). Go up to the train tracks on the right and open the chest for 2 POTENT MAGIC POTIONS. There's an Oculi chest near the top of the middle waterfall (2 LULL ELIXIRS), as well as one on the left tracks (3 FIREFLY ELIXIRS).
Now, you should have seen a box up on the tracks, so push it left and let it drop. Go down to where it did and push it left onto a button that unlocks the nearby gate. As soon as you enter, go down past the moving spikes and grab the chest for 3 ROUGH SAPPHIRES. The door on the left side is still locked, but the switch for it is located at the top of this place, past some rotating spikes.
There's another way through this spot, with a bottom path leading your past some spikes you can shut off for a few seconds with an Oculi switch. Instead of going up at the end, continue left to find a HP STARDUST, as well as a door to a puzzle room. Go down and you can find a DEFENSE STARDUST in the rock you can grab with Igniculus on the left.
On the right hand side of this room is a chest with 2 DEFENSE ELIXIRS, so grab them and head down the slope. There's yet another Oculi chest in the rocks below the slope (3 ROUGH EMERALDS), then another chest on the ledge below (2 POTENT HEALING TONICS). Go down some more and snatch the 2 ROUGH RUBIES from the Oculi chest, then continue right to find two more chests with 2 POTENT HEALING TONICS and 2 ROUGH SAPPHIRES.
Backtrack a little bit and you'll see a gap in the fence in the foreground, meaning you can head down there. Go down and head right (go in the door for a TUMBLED EMERALD and 2 LULL ELIXIRS), grabbing the chest with 2 DEFENSE ELIXIRS in between the two spears. Continue right to find a MAGIC STARDUST, then go up into the cage and hit the switch. This unlocks the door right next to you, so go around and through it.
Here, you'll find a box you can push, so do that and to the right, into a dark area. Note there's an Oculi chest in the northeast corner (3 ROUGH EMERALDS), as well as a chest into the southeast corner with 2 LULL ELIXIRS. Since you likely pushed the box, it should have landed on the switch controlling the next doors, where you'll find Confession #2, 2 ROUGH CITRINES, 3 POTENT MAGIC POTIONS, 3 TUMBLED EMERALDS and 2 REVIVES.
Exit the puzzle room and take the path with the spiked wheel, heading west a bit to grab a chest (2 QUICKEN ELIXIRS). Go up and left, finding another set of broken tracks, with an Oculi chest underneath (3 MAGIC POTIONS). At ground level, you can see one of many pigs flying around, but this one is Achilles for the Achilles's Odyssey sidequest.
| If you forgot, the Achilles's Odyssey sidequest was started back in the Capilli Village, but it's best to wait until you get to a new area before using the map to fast travel back there to finish it. |
To get to him, go through the door underneath the tracks and fly up to a switch and a handle. Pull the switch to open the locked doors, then turn the handle until the spiked wheel is at the north position. This allows you to exit via the top door, go through the previous door and access the bottom area to grab Achilles and the STRENGTH STARDUST. Luckily, this is the same position that grants you passage to the other side.
As soon as you exit the west door, immediately go down and open the chest for 2 ROUGH SAPPHIRES. Continue west and you'll see two more chests, one with a TUMBLED RUBY and the other with 2 ANTIDOTES. Stay at ground level and enter the little rock formation, bypassing the spears and opening the chest for 2 ROUGH RUBIES. There's also another chest at the top of the same formation with 3 ROUGH EMERALDS.
The next area is big and open, but there's nothing hidden, although there's a lone Capilli at the western end who will give you 6 ROUGH SAPPHIRES. Continue west and you'll be at the base of a large mountain. Begin going up and take the first passage to find a door, so go through it. Note that the lava in the room will rise up to a point, but it will subside as well.
The right passage is blocked by a door, which can be opened by quickly using Igniculus on the Oculi switch. Pass the spears and quickly open the second door, where you'll find two chests waiting (ROUGH CITRINE and 3 ROUGH RUBIES). Follow the passage to a switch, allowing you to exit the area. Go left and you'll be in a closed-in area that's a fairly decent size, with plenty of treasure available.
Stick to the top section and you'll see a chest guarded by an enemy (3 LULL ELIXIRS), as well as an Oculi chest in the waterfalls (2 ANTIDOTES). At the far left up here is another chest with 2 QUICKEN ELIXIRS. Now, go back to where you entered, drop to the ground and head left to a dark area. There's a chest along this path, containing a POTENT MAGIC POTION.
To the left of this chest is a spot where you can go down into a very dark area, where you will find three chests (3 ROUGH SAPPHIRES, 2 LULL ELIXIRS, and 3 HEALING TONICS). There's also one hidden chest on the left-hand side that requires Igniculus, since it's inside the rock (2 POTENT HEALING TONICS). Back out of the dark area and head straight west to find the last chest in this isolated area (2 REVIVES).
Return to the outside portion of the mountain and continue flying up, grabbing a chest a little ways up (2 QUICKEN ELIXIRS). Go up a little further and you'll see what looks like a giant stone golem, with a hand and face. If you go all the way to the left, you can enter a small room with a chest up top, which contains a TUMBLED EMERALD. At the top of the mountain is a chest right along the edge, which contains 2 ROUGH SAPPHIRES. Continue left to start the next chapter.
