About the Gestral Beach
The Gestral Beach is like a rest area run by Gestrals and offers some sort of activity for your expeditioners to participate in. There are multiple beaches with different activities so keep that in mind while your out exploring the Continent.
Gestral Beach – Parkour
On this Gestral Beach, there will be a parkour course that you’ll need to complete. It takes you from logs in the ocean to spinning wooden circles and wooden platforms at the end. Upon reaching the end, speak with the Gestral there to be rewarded with a male swimsuit for Gustave. You’ll then be asked a question that you’ll need to answer to receive the swimsuit for Lune.
- If I were a 2 year-old human, at what age would I gommage?
- 17
Gestarl Beach – Rafting Volley Club
This Gestral Beach is located northeast of the Stone Wave Cliffs and requires Esquie and his swimming ability to reach it. This beach is home to the Rafting Volley Club. A mini-game where your opponents will hurl Gestral children at you, and you have to prevent them from hitting your raft by sending them back. There are three opponents to face, and they are listed below. As you progress in difficulty, your opponent’s rafts will have more health and toss their children at you faster.
- The weakest
- Just a normal one
- The strongest
The strongest opponent is formidable! You will need to be perfect to bring him down. We’d recommend using the three stacks of boards in front of the raft to determine how far over you need to go. Also, if you miss the timing on one, you’ll probably miss the next one due to how long it takes to attack between button presses. Remember that the flaming Gestrals will deal two damage instead of one.
By beating the normal one, you’ll receive the one-piece swimsuit for Lune, while defeating the strongest one will net you the one-piece swimsuit for Sciel.
Gestral Beach – Gestral Ascension
You can find this Gestral Beach west of Monoco’s Station, in the area leading to Old Lumiere. It’s located in the middle of some water, so you’ll need to swim there on Esquie. Head inside and speak with the Gestral there to get the details.
For this challenge, you’ll need to climb up the obstacle course and keep going up until you reach the top. When you get there, head up the stairs and speak with the Gestral at the top. He’ll give you the Swimsuit outfit for Monoco.
Gestral Beach – Gestral Race
The fourth Gestral Beach can be found southeast of Sirene and is reachable by swimming on Esquie. After you arrive, head inside and speak with the Gestral to get all the details on the Gestral Race!
For this Gestral Beach activity, you’ll need to race through an obstacle course to reach the finishline at the end. You’ll need to complete the course in 45 seconds for the bronze reward(Resplendent Chroma Catalyst), 41 seconds for the silver reward (Grandiose Chroma Catalyst), and 38 seconds for the gold reward (Swimsuit II outfit for Verso).
