Chapter 4

Plot Summary

Estelle and team make their way to Rolent, which has somehow been enveloped in a thick fog. Estelle tracks down Mistwald as being the source of the fog and heads over to investigate. There, she finds the next member of the Ouroboros.

Pre-chapter

Chapter 4 starts with you taking control of Joshua and the Capua family. The enemies aren't too strong since Joshua is totally OP. Still, it's a good idea to grind up Joshua and Josette's CP because there is a forced battle at the end.

Capua Base

Once you reach the end of the map, Joshue and Josette have to fight Mueller. It's pretty hard, but still winnable.

Rolent

The fog has spread across the Rolent area and Aina needs Estelle to see how far the fog has spread. Scherazard joins as a mandatory team member for plot reasons that you will find out later because she's a local like Estelle and knows the area.

Advice

If this is your first time using Scherazard, her "Heaven's Kiss" ability makes her an amazing support charater. Target an ally and every friendly unit (including the target) within a small circle gets their AT meter kicked to the very top ("AT Advance").

If you're in a bind, this can really help (e.g. give you enough time to cast a group healing spell, or get that one last Chain attack in). It's a good idea to always keep your teammates close together whenever you're in battle.

First, check out the job board to accept the first set of sidequests. Then head to Rolent Church to activate the first one.

Now, it's shopping time!!

• Head to the Abend Bar (亞班特酒館) to buy some food:
  Spring Spiral Noodles (春風螺旋麵) $600, Multilayer Crepe (千層可麗餅) $550, Filtered Bone Soup (絹濾濃骨湯) $650, Triple Yolk Congee (三蛋黃雜燴粥) $1600
• Exit the Abend Bar and enter the house beside it. Talk to Saila (塞拉) to get:
  Hot Seafood Soup (熱海鮮湯) $1200, Imitation Handmade Pie (仿手工派) $400, and most importantly, Gambler Jack #6
  (If you have the extra cash, it's also a good idea to stock up on a few more Bitter Tomato Sandwiches)
• At the general store beside the Bracer Guild, you can pick up a copy of Liberl Times #6
• Feel free to upgrade your weapon and armour at the store across the street from the Bracer Guild. Also, if you haven't already, don't forget to buy or shuffle quartz around for Scherazard
• From the weapon store, head south to the popcorn stand for High Mobility Popcorn (高機動爆米花) $250
• Then head across the street again to the crepe stand for Agility Crepe (敏捷可麗餅) $350, and Mysterious Crepe (神秘可麗餅) $750
• Finally, take the Grancel south exit.

Bright House

Make a quick detour and head over to the Bright House for some plot development about Estelle and Scherazard's past.

Advice This sounds totally obvious, but you can rest for free at the Bright House. This is easily overlooked because c'mon, let's face it, how often did you use an inn in any of the cities so far?

Now continue south on the Elize Highway

Elize Highway

Estelle and Scherazard notes that the fog hasn't spread too far and that there were no monsters. Keep going south on Elize Highway to defeat a wanted monster.

Note: if you visit Mistwald right now, Estelle will notice that something isn't quite the same. Yes, this is totally foreshadowing that the end-of-chapter boss fight will happen here.

Head back to Rolent and meet Ridge on the way. Take the west exit to Mayfair Road.

Milch Main Road

Note, unlike Elize Highway, there ARE monsters here.

Caution Due to the fog, the monsters on the map are a wee bit harder to see. Don't be surprised if you accidentally run into a monster or get ambushed by them.

Malga Mines

Head up Malga Trail until Estelle notices the fog disappearing. Again, be careful of the monsters along the way.

Head back to Rolent Bracer Guild so Estelle can report on her findings.

Rolent

Back at Rolent, Estelle hears a faint ringing sound from afar. At the Bracer Guild, the team discusses the unnatural fog when suddenly the mayor bursts in to report that a few townsfolk suddenly went into a deep sleep.

Time for the team to do some investigation.

Spoiler The astute player will notice that Scherazard has acted quite strange ever since the team returned from investigating the fog. Similar to Zin/Walter in Chapter 2, there is a history behind Scherazard and this chapter's Enforcer.

Go back into the Braacer Guild for a sidequest. This is very easily missable as you must solve it during the investigation.

Four townsfolk have fallen into a deep sleep and Estelle needs to investigate all four of them:

• Linda - Mayor's house, 2F (exit main Rolent map to the east)
• Toluta - Abend Bar 2F
• Luke - residence to the left of Abend Bar
• Lao - residence behind Orbment Workshop

Head back to Rolent Bracer Guild and speak with Aina to report your findings.

The team decides to split up, with the guys standing guard at night.

Bright House

Estelle wakes up to double check if she locked the front door. Feel free to enter the adjacent room and hear Kloe talk in her sleep. Also, feel free to head back to Estelle's room to hear Tita too.

Go down to the ground floor to find Scherazard fortune telling with her tarot cards. Yet more plot foreshadowing.

In the morning, Estelle notices that the fog has become thicker and returns to Rolent.

Rolent

This isn't strictly needed, but for some additional cutesy dialogue between Tita and Agate, stop by the General Store and buy some chocolate.

For the lulz, speak to Olivier at the second floor of Rolent Inn.

Head to Rolent Bracer Guild. Again, the team splits up. While the guys check out Malga Mine, Estelle will check out Perzel Farm.

Perzel Farm

Exit Rolent to the west and go west one more map. There should be a path heading south. Save (upcoming forced battle) and juggle quartz around so everyone can cast Earth-based spells. Then go south to Perzel Farm.

Estelle arrived at Perzel Farm too late; everyone has fallen into a deep sleep. The team needs someone to stay behind to stand watch while the others report back to Aina -- except they actually don't as Kevin comes at conveniently the right time.

Rolent

Estelle heads back to Rolent Bracer Guild. The guys came back first and both teams discover they both encountered Poison Clouds. Ridge also returns to the Bracer Guild and lets everyone know he heard some ringing sounds coming out of Mistwald.

Even though it might be a trap, Estelle and Scherazard decide to head over.

Note: a few sidequests have opened up. Definitely check the job board once the game prompts you to pick your party.

Once you're ready, exit Rolent to the south and head to Mistwald.

Mistwald

Estelle enters Mistwald. Once she explores too deeply into the forest, she is magically teleported to a maze.

Solution:

The maze is a 9x9 grid. Estelle starts at the bottom left corner.

First, rotate the screen so the compass faces north. Always keep the compass pointing north.

  a b c d e f g h i
1
2
3
4
5         X
6     O
7 
8
9 E

Estelle starts at the bottom-left corner (E) and must find her way to the exit (X). Estelle will hear a ringing sound whenever the screen changes -- the louder it is, the closer she is to the exit.

Basically go northeast twice to the (O) screen to pick up a Area (範圍), then go northeast twice again.

Once Estelle escapes the maze, she finds the source of the unusual fog -- a Gospel device implanted on a tree in the middle of the forest. But before she can remove it, the boss battle appears.

Once the boss fight is over, Estelle gets sent off into an illusion world.
