Travel to the Broken Castle for a dialogue event with Marth. This led to a battle against the Hero King to increase his bond with Alear. This battle is pretty straightforward. Marth is on the northeastern side of the map, while the chests below are in the southwest. After defeating some enemies, Marth will open the gates to his area and come to you with his forces. Marth has two health bars you’ll need to deplete to seize victory. You’ll then be free to explore the area by collecting items and speaking with allies.

| 1,000 G | Dropped by a General Fabrication |
| 1,000 G | Dropped by a Warrior Fabrication |
