Treasure
Panacea – Northwestern corner of the area

Treasure
Medium Gold Nugget – Eastern side of the area
Speak with the trees to learn that the way forward is on the western side. If you take the eastern path near the chest, you’ll be attacked by monsters and will have to fight them. The map will also revert back, so you’ll have to turn over all the cards again for the Depths area. Take the western path to avoid all the hassle then continue on. Avoid the grassy patch on the western side as you make your way through the area. You can find the below treasure in the Depths!
Treasure
Large Soothstone – North of the slumbering tree
On the east side, you’ll come across a slumbering tree. Wake it to open the path forward. Continue east then swing north when you reach the edge of the map.

Defeat the enemy with 120 HP then exit the forest and return to your ship at the pier. Set sail for Omega Isle.

Once on Omega Isle, head to the Spirit Spire to trigger a cutscene.
Heart’s Domain
Once in the dark heart of Laty, travel to the western town of Burdenburg.
Burdenburg
Make your way to the 3 people cards in the area.
Phila and Hyd’s card is up first near the central part of the area. Land on the card to speak with them. The Power-Hungry Old Man’s card is located in the north. For this one, you’ll have to select who is going to challenge him.
- Your character
- Laty
- Lac
For this decision, your character is the correct answer but you can select the others to hear their dialog. Afterwards, head on over to the Man Making a Friend in the east. For him, you’ll have to select who will be his friend. For this one, you’ll have to select between the following:
- Your character
- Lanca
- Cyrm
For this decision, your character is again the correct answer but you can select the others to hear their dialog. When you’re done, head over the the card with a glowing outline near the bog in the center of the map. After the brief scene, head down the stairs to enter Central Burdenburg.

Alabaster City
Once in the city, head to the glowing card just in front of the guard at the Palace in the northern part of Alabaster City. After he turns you away, make your way to the Maiden’s Shrine on the west side of the city to find the Underground Passage and enter it.
The Foundation
When you emerge from the passage, you’ll be in The Foundation: Back. Head down the linear path to reach a set of stairs leading to The Foundation: B1. Examine the desk then head south to pass through a door. In this next room continue to reach yet another door. Again, head on through. In this room, speak with all the clones then head through the next door. Proceed rest to grab the below chest!

After you grab the key, you’ll have to go all the way to the far north of the chest to access the western side of the area. If you try a certain number of times to get past the guards on The Foundation: B4 but fail and have to restart, you’ll be prompted with an option to have help. If you select yes, a bell will toll and the amount of guards gets cut down to just 3! Waaaaay easier to make it through!
Once you’re though to the western side, unlock the first door you come across and interact with the southern girl’s card to obtain a Salve! Return through the door and continue west to find another door. Open it and speak with the girl on the southern side of the room to obtain a Salve! Exit the room and head north since you’re currently unable to open the door in the southwest. Open the next door you come across if you’d like to hear the dialog from the girls inside.
When you’re ready to progress with the story, head north and approach the door. Continue straight ahead and approach the mystery card to trigger a fight. Defeat the enemy that has 150 HP! She resists lightning and wind. After you defeat her, you’ll have to escape The Foundation. Before leaving this room, inspect the desk to receive the code for the door to the far south of this floor that you were previously unable to open. After you open the door, head inside and make your way to the east to find a staircase leading to Alabaster City.
