Cebalrai

When Kalas first wakes up, he’ll find himself laying on a bed. Speak with the doctor Larikush to learn how you ended up here. Before leaving the room that Kalas wakes up in, speak with the red-headed girl. Exhaust her dialog options to get some information on things like healing efficiently, how to earn money and to learn more about the doctor. Exit the Doctor’s Office to arrive in a courtyard filled with animals. Head to the blue flower on the left side of the area to trigger an event where you’ll learn how to use blue flowers to save.

Once that’s done, interact with the flower and select “Visit the church” to travel to the church. Speak with the Priest in the back by the altar and exhaust his dialog options to learn about leveling up and increasing class levels. When you’re finished, return to the blue flower and interact with it choosing “Return to adventure” to head back to Cebalrai. Before making your way to the main part of the village, speak with the girl wearing the pink dress in the courtyard. She’ll mention that you should visit the mayor. He has something to say to Kalas.

Head left past the blue flower to reach the main area of the village. Proceed to the center of this area to trigger an event with a boy and Meemai. When it ends, head north then through the doorway there to reach the mayor’s house. Speak with him and he’ll invite Kalas to stay in the village as long as he needs while also insisting that he stays away from the Moonguile Forest. when you’ve finished talking to the mayor, examine the bookshelf in the back-left corner of the room to receive a Fire Burst Lv. 1 Magus card. You can this exit the building.

Back in the main part of the village, head south towards the bridge with Meemai. Speak with the blonde girl standing on the bridge to trigger another event. Afterward exit the village. You may want to save again at the blue flower before doing so. There is also a shop in the building to the left of the bridge you can visit to stock up on supplies. You can find the list of items the shop contains in our Baten Kaitos Cebalrai Shop guide. When you reach the world map, head west to reach Moonguile Forest!

Moonguile Forest

When you arrive at Moonguile Forest, Kalas will find himself in a cave. He’ll also be accompanied by two bat enemies and there we’ll be a Magnus: Voice Lv. 1 on the left side. Grab it then head north through the illuminated pathway. This will bring you outside near a river. Nearby, there will be a guy sitting near a log. Speak with him then exhaust his dialog options to get a crash course on combat. When you’ve finished, go north along the river passing through a slightly concealed cave. There will be a Magnus: Leather Hat on the other side for you to collect.

Backtrack a bit then cross the river and head south to find a Magnus: Bamboo Shoot. Go north along the river to reach the next area of the forest. Make sure you are prepared, as you are about to face a mini boss.

In the next area, a cutscene will trigger involving the blonde girl you met in the village and her companions. This will lead to a fight where she and Kalas will team up against a Sabre Dragon. The beast will resist any fire attacks you send its way but is also weak to water. Use that to your advantage to take it down. Also make sure to snag a picture of the dragon that you can sell later! After the Sabre Dragon falls, another cutscene will trigger. The girl will introduce herself as Xelha and decide to tag along to the ancient ruins.

When you regain control of Kalas, proceed to the next area of Moonguile Forest. When you arrive, head left through the archways to find a Magnus: Flame Sword at the end. Backtrack to the first archway and follow the path north around the area towards the red flower. Along the way, to the east of flower you’ll be able to grab a Magnus: Fire Burst Lv. 1. Make sure to use the red flower to save when you reach it along with healing up as necessary. There is a boss fight coming up in the next area!

Head to the next area to trigger a cutscene during which the Lord of the Spring will appear. After some dialog it will then attack the party. The Spring Lord uses water-based attacks which means it also resists water. To deal extra damage, use fire-based moves to hit its weak point. One thing to watch out for is its 4 attack combo that typically ends with a big attack dealing around 50 damage total. Also make sure to snag a picture of the creature to sell later. When the creature falls, another cutscene will trigger. After it concludes, you’ll be back at the world map so return to Cebalrai!

Cebalrai

Following the events of Moonguile Forest, Larikush will be on the bridge waiting for Kalas and will bring you to the mayor’s house. You’ll catch them up on what happened in the forest to which the mayor is none too pleased. One of the villagers will mention seeing a ship pass by heading towards the city giving us our next destination.

Before setting out, stop by Larikush’s place (where Kalas first woke up) in the hamlet. Speak with him and he’ll ask Kalas for a favor. A landside in Nunki Valley has blocked that path to Pherkad (our next destination) and he would like us to take some explosives there and use them to clear the landslide. He’ll then show you how to turn stuff into magnus then he’ll give you 4 blank cards and task you with bringing him an apple to try it out. Exit his house to find a lady standing next to two barrels of apples in the courtyard. Interact with the apples then press “Sure!” when prompted to seal their magna essence in a blank card.

Head back into Larikush’s house and speak with him to hand over the apple. As a reward, he’ll give you a Magnus: Ice Dagger. With that out of the way, interact with the explosives on the nearby table to seal their essence in one of the cards then leave the doctor’s residence.

Now might be a good time to save, so visit the blue flower and do so. While you’re there, use the flower to visit the church and speak with the priest in the back. Use the pray option to level and class up. Leveling up with make Kalas stronger and classing up will allow you to carry 5 extra cards in your deck, boost your max combo to 3 and also allow you to carry 4 cards at a time in battle.

After you’ve finished, head back to the blue flower. This will trigger an event where the Elder will call out to you. Speak with him and he’ll ask Kalas for a favor. The elder will ask Kalas to keep an eye out for fragments of the star map on his journey in hopes to see the star map completed before he fades away. You’ll will need to find all 50 of them scattered around the world in the form of Constellation Magnus to make this dream a reality. You’ll also be rewarded for each fragment that you find. For our guide on where to find all the Star Map Fragments, click here! Use the blue flower to return to Cebalrai.

Before heading to Nunki Valley, there are a couple of things you can do. First, head to the shop and sell any of the pictures you’ve taken to acquire some money. There are also a couple of favors you can complete. For our guide on these Cebalrai favors, click here! You’ll also want to head back to the Moonguile Forest and complete the favor for the Man wearing a Bracelet there. For our guide on how to complete this favor, click here! Once all of that has been done, travel to the Nunki Valley via world map.

Nunki Valley

After arriving at the Nunki Valley, head north to reach the bottom of the waterfall. Jump across the gap of the first waterfall then turn and jump the gap of the second. Follow the path south to a Magnus: Flame Shield at the end and grab it. Backtrack past both waterfalls to the entrance of the valley and cross the fallen log in the middle of the room. Head south to snag a Magnus: Frozen Shield then follow the path north into the next area.

In the next part of the cavern, you’ll be on the west side next to part of the rockslide. Interact with the rocks on the path then select the explosives to blow them up clearing the way. Continue following the path turn right. This should bring you to an area with two ways forward separated by flowing water in the middle of the room.

You want to take the left path first. This will bring you to a secluded section in the next area where you’ll be able to collect a Magnus: Secret Recipe 1. After doing that, take the right path to proceed towards the city.

Now on the right side of the third area, there will a guy sitting on the ground to the right of the stone ladder. Speak with him and exhaust his dialog options to learn about combat. When your done climb up the ladder and follow the path to reach the end of the Nunki Valley brining you to the world map. Press on to Pherkad, the Ancient Capital!!

Pherkad

Once you reach the city, a cutscene will trigger. During the cutscene, Kalas will explain his bond with the guardian spirit (you!). When prompted choose “Of course”. After the cutscene ends, follow the street north two areas to reach the mansion. Speak with the guards out front who will tell Kala to get lost. This will trigger another cutscene. When it concludes, speak with the lady wearing a green dress and ask about the kid, Palolo. She’ll tell mention one house that hasn’t been broken into yet and suggest camping out there to catch him.

Head back to the main area of Pherkad and enter the house across the street from the tavern (across from the person standing by the apple cart). Once inside, a cutscene will trigger where Kalas will speak with the great Palolo III. When he asks why you want to enter the mansion choose “To get vengeance for my grandfather and brother”. Kalas likes that answer and will spaz a bit if you choose the other one. Regardless of what choice you make, Palolo will request a Rainbow Spider’s Web in exchange for the information.

To find a Rainbow Spider’s Web, travel to the Nunki Valley and make your way to the middle area where you blew up the rocks earlier in the story. The spider you are looking for can be found on the left side of the stream. There will be a path along the trees that you can use to reach a stone ladder.

Climb down this ladder to find the spider called Nunkirantula! When battling this creature, note that it’s weak to wind and resistant to light and water. Also, this creature likes to guard often so you’ll be doing half damage unless you’re using something that its weak to. Once the spider is defeated, it will drop the Rainbow Spider’s Web. Bring this item back to Palolo III in Pherkad. After he takes the items off your hands, he’ll tell you that the entrance to the mansion can be found behind him in the well.

If you haven’t done so recently, now would be a good time to complete the favors (click here for a guide on these favors) and head to the church (via blue flower) to level and heal up. Also, if needed head to the shop north of the blue flower to rest your weary wings. When you’re ready, return to the hideout and speak with Palolo III to hop down the well to enter The Lord’s Mansion!

The Lord’s Mansion

Upon entering this area, a cutscene will trigger during which Kalas will talk about the airship. You’ll be prompted with a choice: “Let’s find out way up to the ship!” or “Shouldn’t we find Xelha first?”. You can pick whichever option you’d like but Kalas favors the first option.

When you reach this area, you’ll start in a room with a fountain in the center. If you need to return to the city at any time, interact with the southern part of the fountain to return to the hideout. Once you’re ready, head up the stairs on the north side of the room to reach a hallway filled with a bunch of enemies.

At the top of the stairs, head directly north and interact with the stained glass window to receive the Magnus: Frozen Shield. Next, enter the room to the left of the stained glass window. You’ll find the Magnus: Shadow Wings in the back left corner. While in this room, speak with the maid to learn some more information about our friend.

Exit the room and go up the stairs on the west side to reach the third floor. On the western side of the third floor, defeat the 2 guards stationed in front of the door then pick up the item on the west side of the hallway to receive the Magnus: Chain Mail.

Next, enter the room to reach the lord’s room. Pick up the key on the small round table in front of the western couch.

As soon as you pick up the key, a cutscene will trigger. During the cutscene, you’ll be prompted with another choice: “Let’s get Giacomo.” or “Let’s look for Xelha.”. This time, we chose the second option and Kalas agreed. Before exiting the room, head to the northeastern corner to collect Magnus: Wind Blow Lv. 1.

Next, return to the second floor and enter the western most room. You’ll use the key you just found to open this door.

Inside, interact with the end table between the beds to find a Magnus: Mink Coat. Speak with the man in the corner to learn that his name is Aljeemo. If you previously spoke to his wife in Cebalrai, the Farming Hamlet, you’ll be able to give him a pendant. In return he’ll give you a Magnus: Voice Lv. 2.

Exit this room and enter the room to the right of the stained glass window. Use the key to unlock this door to find Xelha! During the cutscene, you’ll receive a choice to either help or refuse her. Choose to help her! After the cutscene, grab the two items in the back of the room to receive a Magnus: Chronos Blow Lv. 1 and Magnus: Shrike Statue.

After exiting the above room, enter the next room to the right. In this room, interact with the nightstand to find the Magnus: Ice Dagger. Exit the room and head up the stairs on the eastern side to reach the third level where you’ll find a blue flower. In the room across from the blue flower, you’ll find the kitchen where two women with favors await! For a guide on how to complete their favors, click here! Now that you’ve found a blue flower, now would also be a good time to return to the church to level up Xelha!

When you’re ready, examine the statues to the right of the flower then press the switch.

This will clear the way forward, allowing you to reach the roof. At the top of the stairs, a cutscene will trigger followed by a fight against Giacomo. He’s weak to water and light attacks and resists fire and dark. He can attack multiple times and uses fire and dark attacks. Each of his combos can be 3 or 4 long. Before you defeat Giacomo, make sure to take a picture! After the fight, a cutscene will trigger and you’ll return to the well. During this cutscene, Xelha asks both Kalas and his guardian spirit for help. You’ll be prompted with “Let’s help her.” or “You’re right, it’s too much of a risk.” If you choose to help her, Kalas does not agree and refuses.

After the cutscene, you’ll gain control of your character again. Now would be a good time to head to the blue flower near the port to level up, heal and save. When you’re ready, approach the ship to escape!
