Oresrush

If you didn’t start with Partitio, then you’ll need to travel to Oresrush in the Wildlands which can be found on the western continent. You can reach it by traveling northwest from Canalbrine in the Harborlads. To reach the Harborlands, sail there from either Beasting Bay: Anchorage in Toto’Hana of the southeastern continent or New Delsta Harbor: Anchorage in the Brightlands of the northwestern continent. Once there head up the dirt path west of the town entrance to find Partitio on the right side of his house overlooking the town. Speak with him then select “Yes” when prompted for him to join the party. You’ll then be asked if you want to view the beginning of his tale. Select “Yes” to officially start Chapter 1.

When you gain control of Partitio, make your way down into the camp where you’ll be introduced to his Path Action, Purchase. Head to the Merchant in the back of the camp with a green dialog bubble over his head and use your Path Action to select the Dubious Silver Nugget. You can also use Purchase on the people in the camp to pick up additional items if you want. When you’re ready, return to Papp to trigger a cutscene.

After the cutscene, head to the southwestern part of town to find Papp near his house. Approach him to trigger another cutscene. After it ends, you’ll be introduced to Partitio’s Hire Path Action. Use it to hire someone then use the eastern exit to reach the Silver Mine.

Silver Mine

At the mine, head up to the middle area to find a chest with a Healing Grape. You may also want to level a bit before reaching the top of the mine. When you’re ready head up to the top to trigger a fight against a pair of thugs. Defeat them to trigger another cutscene.

Oresrush

When you regain control of Partitio after the time skip, travel to the tavern on the northeastern part of the town near the savepoint then head inside. Use your Path Action on the Apothecary with the green dialog bubbler above their head. Buy Papp’s Medicine from them for 100 leaves then bring it back to him at the house. Along the way, a cutscene will trigger with Partitio’s old friends. Place the medicine on the nightstand next to Papp to trigger another cutscene. Before heading towards the Abandoned Silver Mine, take some time to stock up on supplies, upgrade gear if you can and hire some extra help if needed.

Abandoned Silver Mine

When you reach the mine, loot the chest near the savepoint to receive 500 leaves. Work your way to the top part of the mine to find a ladder leading to a raised platform with a chest containing a Light Soulstone. You’ll then want to travel west over the tracks. Take the path south of the tracks to reach a chest containing an Inspiriting Plum. You’ll then want to follow that path heading north. This will bring you to Giff’s Manse.

Giff’s Manse

Once in the manse, head into the room on the east side of the hall to find a chest then make your way over to the room on the west side to arrive in a courtyard. Head through the door on the north side of the courtyard to find a chest with a Small Silver Ore inside. Next, follow the walkway around to the left. This will bring you to another chest containing a Bronze Shield. Return to the center for the courtyard and take the eastern stairs up. Follow the second-level balcony west making sure to go into the second room you pass to find a chest with a Leather Helm. Head through the doorway at the end of the balcony to enter a room with a Merchant and savepoint. Stock up on supplies and save then head through the door. Take up the stairs and enter the room at the end to trigger a cutscene leading to a boss fight.

Boss Fight: Giff

For this fight, you’ll be facing Giff and two of his lackeys. Giff will buff his lackeys while they all deal physical damage to Partitio. I’d recommend dealing with the lackeys first then focusing on Giff. When he becomes enveloped in a purple mist, either break him or guard as he is about to deal massive damage. When Giff reaches around half health, Partitio will unlock his Latent Power which allows him to instantly replenish his BP. Defeating Giff and his lackeys will win you the fight and trigger a cutscene leading to the end of the chapter.
