Beloved Rapture

For this guide I will play in classic mode.

I highly recommend the Wait-Mode!
The Active-Mode is really fast and you will have trouble when more than one character has his ATB full.

You can skip the prologue.

You take control of Aiden.
During the prologue the menu is not available.
You can interact with the statues and graves, the goddes will only bless you with luck.

On the next map you learn how to run with Shift.
This part differs from the demo.
The door is locked, so proceed.

100 days prior to the prologue.

You take control over Johan and gain access to running and the menu.
When running/swimming you cannot open the menu and stopping needs a bit of wait until you can open it.

In the guide you will find a map that will help you with navigation between the maps, the red marker is your current destination.
The guide will also keep track of enemies fought, quests, tutorials and fishing.
In the settings you can still change the ATB-Mode and some more.

Items (starting map): none

Before you head north, explore the south.

Collectibles (like mushrooms, herbs, or other medical plants) won’t be marked anymore after the first time (not every mushroom you see can be collected).
Same for money lying on the floor.
Some rocks can be pushed.

Talk to the guard, you cannot proceed further west.
Time to head north.

Learn about the Goddess Statues (heals only once) and swimming.
In Story Mode you will obtain Goddess Tears from her instead of the healing.
Throw 20 Coins into the wishing well to increase Johan’s MP by 1 (no more rewards).
Use the Ruby!

Before you head further north, explore the west.

You cannot proceed further west.

You cannot proceed further south.

You have to look closely to find the underwater cave (next to the bridge)!

The Tavern is closed during the day and even has a back entrance.
You can even push some crates.

Use the Silver Key to enter the SW house.
In there you can find another Ruby, enjoy other findings but the next door is locked again.
You cannot enter your mother’s Amalia House yet.

In the General Store buy the Farming Gloves and equip them.
You can even buy potions/antidotes but you cannot pilfer anything and jumping down the stairs can get you thrown out.

Meet Zach west of the cave (the spot) to obtain Amaterasu.

The dialogue from the villagers have changed.

Head to Elysia Bridge.
Talk to Zach and do the tutorial battle (you even earn 2 EXP and Elixir).
One hidden mechanic the game does not teach you is that if you defend, you can use items without losing your defensive stance! This includes using offensive items gained later.

Follow him.

You don’t need bridges to cross the swamps…
Monsters will respawn when changing maps.
Cast Bolt against Blue Goop (Magic Jelly) and attack the Slithers (Fang) physically.
Their weaknesses and drops will the shown in the bestiary.
100% is standard, higher means weakness, lower means strenght, 0% means immunity.

You will unleash your Relica when the bar is filled.
Relica attack can be interrupted but the bar will deplete when the battle ends.

Poison will be restored after battle so defeat the blue Venemous Slithers ASAP, as only those are
poisonous.

You will encounter 2 Goops and the fire one will deal massive burning damage until you can cast Bolt the 2nd time.
Best deal with the blue one first and defeat the red one with an Relica.

On classic mode I recommend grinding on the first map buying potions in the village.
When level up your HP/MP recover.
You will obtain 3-4 free stats to distribute each level up.
Magic increases both Magic Attack and Defense.
Thanks to the recovery mechanic Magic, MP and HP are recommended.
You will notice the difference for each 10 Stats.

▶ Spoiler

Don’t put stats in Attack for Johan as later his weapon upgrades will make those put in points go to waste.

After you have found the chest with the Hi-Potion, you will be ambushed an Alpha Hunter and normal Hunter (Fang).
Each hit will cost you between 50 and 100 HP and 2x app. 150 HP damage when using a skill!

Picking the Lavender will attract a Grizzly (Bear Claw) with high HP.
Utilize attack and defend in the beginning if you don’t have enough MP. You should be faster than the bear so you may be able to sneak in Bolt or an attack before it has a turn. But maintain your defense before it attacks to help reduce its powerful attacks.

Head east to find a statue of Lucina and a Gorchid (the budding flower) guarding 2x Wild Shrooms.

Yeah, heal at the statue of Lucina and then talk to Zach.

You obtain 200 Gold for shopping.

Enjoy the other findings like 65 Gold (and 280 Gold if you dare to steal from your mom) and the free rest in your own bed.

Try doing your errand at the general store (you cannot leave the village), but there is nothing new to buy or any ingredients (restock!!!).
Return and report to Amelia but Zach is faster.

Fishes (you need to spam ↑ to bring them in): Whitefish x4 (level 1, smallest ones), Trout x3 (level 2, big blue fish, best from near), Bigmouth Bass x3 (level 3, green ones, best from near).

Little trick: once you have the attention of the fish, start pulling in!

You can cancel with X and the ponds will refresh after you have progressed to certain points in the story.

SW from the camping area at the Vereta - Abandoned Ruins, you can find a Hi-Potion, defeat another Gorchid, a little pond with one fish (not fishable), NW from the ruins you can reach a Ruby.
In the ruin a Mimic, best defeat it with Spells and Relicas and get 999 Gold, Wooden Pendant and Lightning Rune.

Head NW from the camping area where you find a Statue of Lucina and near the chest with 2x Ether you are ambushed by 2 slimes.

Enter the Grotto to proceed (you cannot fish for some time once you enter).

You cannot leave the Grotto and the mobs are stronger than before.
Purple Slimes are the stronger version of the red slimes which resist fire and ice, but cast a spell
when the Flutter-Fang’s Evasion is buffed (drops Bat Wing).

You have to push Boulders onto the switches (plates) to reach the Ruby.
Defeat the Bat, step on the plate and obtain a Goldne Elixir.

Check out the western borders of the map to find another plate and Wild Shroom on map 3.
Push a boulder on the plate to reveal another Wooden Pendant.
Please don’t trap yourself here.

On map 5 is a Statue of Lucina (save it until you have repaired the 2nd bridge).
Step on the plate to reveal a Revival Stone.
Step on the SW plate and push a boulder on the east plate to repair the 1st bridge.
Step on the plate to reveal a Life Tonic.
You can ignore the bud.
Proceed to the SE (map 6).

Step on the plate and defeat the Grizzly with fire.
Return to map 5 and heal at the Statue of Lucina.
Cross the 2nd bridge to map 7.
Exit the cave to the NE.

Amaterasu (Johan) gains Flame.

Collect the Wild Shroom, Angel Feather and Power Tonic.
Dive for 10 Gold x2, 2x Ethers and Hi-Potion.

Cross the lake, enter the last cave and step onto the switch.
Dive and press the 2nd switch, climb up the ladder, gather the Magic Shroom, heal at the Statue of Lucina (clear Zach’s equipment), pick the 3 Wild Shrooms and proceed.

If you don’t follow Zach into the tavern, Johan will return to his room and you can save before you head down to talk to Amelia…
