West Isle
As you explore the West Isle you can find the below. When you reach the gorge on the western side of the isle, a cutscene will trigger and L’via and Gladio will join your party.

Thief wants necklace back
We receive this event on the card shown below!
You’ll be forced into a fight with the thief that has 26 HP. Defeat him. Afterwards, the thief will tell you that he regrets what he did and wants to return the stolen necklace to the shop he took it from. You’ll be presented with the following options, however, you will be forced to hand it over.
- Hand Over the Necklace
- You believe the tears are genuine and take the Simple Necklace from Laty and hand it over. The thief bows his head then heads off to Heroes’ Dominion. You’ll receive the Dingy Charm. Make sure to pop in at the Accessory Shop in Heroes’ Dominion to learn that the thief did indeed return the necklace and now has a job at the shop. You return the Dingy Charm to him and learn that he only stole to feed his child. As a reward, the shopkeeper will give you a Gemstone Ring! You’ll also receive the Lost and Found trophy!
- Don’t Hand Over the Necklace
- You tell him that honeyed words alone will not let you trust him.

West Isle
Once in West Isle, backtrack to the closest unknown monster goblin card. Interact with it to begin a fight with 2 goblin enemies that have 44 HP each. Defeat them then continue on the path towards the eastern dock. The next fight is the unknown lizard monster near the chest. Interact with it to begin a fight with a lizard enemy that has 72 HP. Travel east near the dock to find the last monster card. At last! This is the monster they’ve been looking for. Defeat this creature that has 130 HP. With the last of the foes vanquished, return to Heroes’ Dominion.
Heroes’ Dominion
Once in Heroes’ Dominion, rest up then head to the Arena in the central part of town. Speak with the receptionist then leave the Arena. Deal with the people how you see fit. (We drew them away twice then punched them in the face!) Afterwards, head to the Inn to rest up. Exhaust all of the dialog option with L’via. When you regain control, speak with your party members inside the Inn. After speaking with both of them, L’via will barge in. Again, exhaust all dialog options.
When the next morning comes around, make your way to the Arena and register with the receptionist to enter the tournament. Next, head through the door to the right. Speak with everyone inside then head through the next door on the western side of the room. Defeat the opponents. Afterwards, you’ll return to the waiting room where you can purchase items for the next round. Speak with L’via and proceed through the western door when you’re ready to begin round 2! Repeat this for the third and final round! This last fight is different than all the others! When you’re 3/4ths of the way done with the fight, a Ferocious Beast will charge into the arena. You’re attention will then turn to it. Defeat the creature then enjoy the revealing cutscene. Once you gain control, exit town to receive the Crimson Memory’s Relic. This chapter will also complete!
Omega Village
During the intermission, leave West Isle and make your way to Omega Island. Once there, head to Omega Village. Speak with 2 of the townspeople to learn that Laty is not going to receive a warm welcome instead. When prompted, head to the Elder’s House to speak with the mayor where you’ll need to look for the personal effects of Laty’s late mother.
- Probably the Kitchen
- The Storeroom, Naturally
- Maybe in Greith’s Room?
You can select the first two option for additional dialog, but the correct answer is Maybe in Greith’s Room. After the upsetting scene, you’ll have the option to search the North Isle or East Isle. Set sail for whichever one you’d like to begin the next tale!
