Key Story Moments & Player Tips

Your journey begins in Septimont, where you’ll receive a speed boost and Wingray for traversal. After meeting Iuno and other allies, you’ll head to Sanguis Plateaus to defend the golden Anchor Obelisk against relentless waves of enemies.

Before talking to Qiuyuan outside the camp, make sure to collect these optional rewards from characters nearby:

Character	Location	Reward
Ciaccona	By campfire	Bamboo Iris Crisps
Lupa	Outside camp	Advanced Resonance Potion
Iuno	Near Dark Tide hole	Forgery Advanced Supply
Brant & Roccia	Far from camp	Energy Core & Shell Credits

The story then descends into the Plane of Dark Tide, where you’ll wield the Lantern of Napoli to navigate warped environments, uncover memory shards of Galbrena’s past, and confront the Guardian Mortarch and Scar.

The finale delivers one of the game’s most cinematic moments — an all-out battle against The Threnodian, featuring a Dream Link–style mechanic that boosts your team’s damage and triggers synchronized Resonator skills.
