| Prologue | Within the Shadows |
You and Iori make it to the Town of Beginnings. You're able to reunite with your friends, but they're caught up in other stuff, so Iori takes you around and shows you the ropes. You also join Iori on his ongoing quest that takes place on a Highway of sorts leading to a forest.
Iori's Request Walkthrough
[1] Head to the inn Iori recommends.
You and Iori make it back to the Town of Beginnings. Iori talks about how impressed he is with the game.
Iori asks you if you have anywhere to stay to organize your loot. He asks you to follow him as he thinks of a place that might still have space.
The inn is north of the plaza where you currently are. Check out the other shops in the area too!
Arrive at the inn and touch the orb at the room on the second floor to check in. The chest in the room acts like a menu where you can change equipment, better your skills, and manage your partners.

[2] Reunite with your friends.
Saayu and Wyzeman find as you head back downstairs. They explain that they were PK-ed by Stella and will probably be shown to her viewers as 'noobs' caught in her plan. They apologize for leaving you alone to deal with the situtaion.
Iori introduces himself to your friends and talks about how the two of you completed the dungeon. Your friends are pretty impressed. Saayu explains that Clark can't seem to join the beta test anymore since he has work to do.
Wyzeman asks Iori to show you the ropes around town. Both he and Saayu seem to be busy with some other things. Iori agrees.
[3] Go around town with Iori.
Iori suggests that you go off to the blacksmith for a change of better gear. Head over to area in the map with the Hammer icon.
Go to the Smithy. Some weapons can only be obtained through quests or by making them at the blacksmith. Here, you'll be able to synthesize similar weapons together to choose what Ex-Mods you want or create new weapons with materials you collect.

Next stop, the item shop. You were able to wiggle out of the previous dungeon with limited items, but that won't always be the case. Go to the area with the hut icon.
Arrive at the Item Seller. There, you can craft and buy consumable items such as buffing items, attack items, and curing items. You can also choose where the items are stored.
Iori now beckons you to go exploring with him by going to the Main Terminal. The Warp function in this town will now be unlocked.
[4] Embark on Iori's quest.
Accept Iori's quest at the Main Terminal.
FIRST AREA: Main Highway
You'll be transported to the quest area. Your aim is to make it to the Safe Area (seen as a blue pillar of light from afar) in the northwest. When you exit the Terminal site, the mini-map will be blank. It will be filled-out once you activate the sphere at the Safe Area. You can still see a general lay of the land in the map, but not the specifics like before.
Make it to the first Safe Area and uncover the map. Keep going and head northwest. Stop at Safe Areas when you need to, or even go back to town to upgrade your stats and weapons.

| Collectible | Map | Item |
|---|---|---|

 chest 2 Needs Flame Stone/Flame Mine |  | Steel Sword Blueprint |

| Battle Tip |
|---|
 |
| If you spot one of these on the field, it's an Ark! Arks contain relics and the guardians that guard it. Defeating the guardian will open up areas that were previously unaccessible! Don't get careless though, the guardian will be stronger than your typical overworld enemy. |
FOURTH AREA: Megalith Forest South
Open the wall to the area by selecting "Access". Make sure you are geared up for a fight!
[5] Defeat the Snowcap Boar.
The battle will start as soon as you open up the wall. This boss can freeze you so watch out as it can slow you down!. Not only can it blow out some frosty breath, it can also create ice tornadoes that freeze the surroundings.
| Battle Tip |
|---|
 |
| When a body part or item from the boss is glowing blue like above, that means it's breakable! Break it with a heavy attack to move on the next phase of the battle, else the boss will recover health over and over again until you do get rid of it. |
After the battle, proceed moving westward to the Safe Area.
[6] Return to the Town of Beginnings.
Right after, you and Iori will be automatically transported back to the Town of Beginnings. Iori says that past the Safe Area they went to is a forest full of Unique Monsters.
While talking about how hard it is to find the monster, a girl interrupts saying she has the information to give...for the right price.
Her price is rocket sky high! But she's willing to do it for free if she can join the party for the quest. Not a bad deal, all considered.
