Backed by the might of his private army, the Scarlet Wings, the so-called “hero” Tytos rules Emberglow with an iron fist. But there are those who would resist his quest for greater and greater power…

Gather information about Tytos

To reach Emberglow from Wishvale, you’ll need to pass through the below areas. Make sure to check out our area guides for each area by clicking the link! We’ll detail the enemies, chests, and items that you can find along the way!

Once in Emberglow, you’ll receive a tutorial about enlisting the town’s residents as helpers. Make your way to the tavern and speak with the bartender to officially begin the quest.

Talk to the Scarlet Wing

Now that the quest has started, head to the west side of the tavern and speak with Velnorte. Ask him one of the questions, after which he will excuse himself. This will then kick off a cutscene.

Follow Velnorte East

Following the cutscene, exit the tavern and head east through Emberglow to the Emberglow: East District. This will trigger another cutscene. It concludes with a battle against the Abnormal Ruffian.

If you have the Steal ability, you can steal a Nourishing Nut from the Abnormal Ruffian.

Once you’re ready, head down the stairs to exit the building. Outside, head east to the Emberglow Laboratory: Entrance.

Make sure to check out our detailed guide on the Emberglow Laboratory: Entrance for the treasure chests that can be found there along with enemies and their weaknesses.

From the Emberglow Laboratory: Entrance, you’ll need to travel to the Emberglow Laboratory. As you approach the northern side of this area, a lengthy cutscene will trigger during which you’ll witness a meeting with Commander Tytos, Velnorte, and Jurgen. After their meeting, Velnorte will ask for your help.

Search for the servant Al

To find the servant, head down the stairs to find Al by the table next to the save point.

  • Break it immediately when the purple “stand ready” aura appears, or defend before it attacks.
  • Save BP for efficient shield breaking.
  • Heal often!

After you defeat Al the Servant, Velnorte will ask that you remain quiet about what transpired here tonight. You’ll then be teleported back to Rinyuu and will need to decide whether or not to tell her the truth. As a reward, Rinyuu will give you a Bell Amulet.

Observe Velnorte

Return to Velnorte’s house and head inside to trigger a cutscene that will conclude the chapter.
