The Violet Fencer II Summary

The Violet Fencer II Walkthrough

[1] Meet up with Iori and Cal.

Iori and you gather to head out to Teardrop Cave. Iori messages Cal and upon arriving, Cal is already there.

[2] Explore Teardrop Cave.

The corridors in dungeons shift and change every time you go to them. That includes the location of chests and Safe Areas. There is no Fast Travel within the dungeon; you can only go back to town.

There are no waypoints in dungeons (the unfixed areas), so be vigilant of where you have gone and where you are going. There are still markers, though, so you can mark an area of interest for yourself.

FIRST AREA: Teardrop Cave - Upper Chamber

Proceed to the exit of the cave up north.

Chests in dungeons contain more than one item! It might be worth it to explore more before finding a Safe Area.

Don't worry about items going over your usual item count! You can use them up while you're in the dungeon, and the overflow will go to your chest once you finish the quest/return to town.

If you see wall barriers made of leaves, you can simply hit them to move on forward.

[3] Defeat the Glenspore Grizzly

SECOND AREA: Teardrop Cave - Central Chamber

You're going to face a boss-class enemy soon. Cal is calm and collected about it and that settles both you and Iori as well.

This enemy comes with a smaller bear. Take the smaller one first before focusing on the larger bear. When the bear is breathing out fire, you won't get hit if you are really near it or behind it, so aim for those spots to attack! Be careful when it has fire around it though because you can easily get burned!

The enemy tries one last attack, but Cal is too fast and subdues it immediately. Quite badass of them.

[4] Get into the deepest parts of Teardrop Cave.

THIRD AREA: Teardrop Cave - Lower Chamber

Iori asks Cal why they joined their quest. Cal says they're working on trying to work with others because they want to invite their non-gamer (cough normie) brother to play with them. Iori is a bit offended to be seen as a beginner, but compared to Cal, they can't really argue.

Continue through the dungeon, it will be similar to the Upper Chamber.

[5] Defeat the Wrathful Shrewman

FOURTH AREA: Teardrop Cave - Bottom Chamber

Be prepared for another Boss-class enemy. Looks like they have some minions as well. Remember that there's no fast travel within the dungeon, so decide whether going back to town is the best move or not.

The minions are easy to defeat but turn up again every once in a while. The Shrewman can do large attacks like jumping to where you are or large slashes, but what you have to watch out for the most is when it tries to Blind you. If you do get Blinded, keep on moving and try to look where your partner is because most likely, they are attacking the boss.

Cal does a hand gesture after you win, stirring curiosity in Iori. Seems like it's something he and his brother do after winning at something or when they're having fun.

Reach the last Safe Area to complete the dungeon and the quest.

[6] Report back to Argo.

Argo meets the party as soon as you come back. Iori reports that you cleared the dungeon, and she is impressed.

Argo asks Cal how they got so strong, and they say they just really like games. Iori is still reeling from being mistaken for a beginner, but Cal assures him that he actually had the wrong first impression and thinks Iori is quite strong himself.

Seems like Cal really enjoyed himself because he asks everyone if he can add them to his friend list.

Fireworks start, and the game announces that the Beta Test is over. The four promise to meet up again at the full launch.

This is the end of the demo! Now let's dig deeper into the full game!
