All Aboard

The situation aboard the ship is a lot worse than expected. The Pelune’s interior took heavy damage from the Exodus attack and there are also numerous casualties. This is a timed-based mission with 30 minutes to reach your goal while also rescuing as many passengers or groups of passengers as you can. It is possible to help all the injured people and still reach the rear of the ship if you don’t spend too much time fighting Exodus and you plan your route before exploring. Luckily you can pause the timer while viewing the in-game map. Do so often to get your bearings and plan your next move.

Alternate Ludger’s attack from dual blades to the sledgehammer to match Exodus’s weakness. Using the Prometheus (Light) dual blades will be especially effective against the Disguised Exodus Soldier and Exodus Infiltrator. During these combat sessions the goal is to wipe out Exodus as quickly as possible since the timer will keep running. Use artes to deal with the heavily armored Exodus agents to deplete their HP before they can use a Lemon Gel and prolong the battle.

You automatically helped the first injured passenger when you board the ship, and each subsequent person or groups of people will provide a reward if you can aid them within a specific time limit. To rescue the second set of injured people, make a quick right to the second long walkway and run west. Stop in the small room nearby to grab a Diamond and run to the end of the walkway. If you can reach the people within 15 minutes you will earn the Guardian Emblem.

The third injured person is a bit out of the way, but you can make it if you hustle. Go back to the first walkway and exit to the west to reach the Starboard Area 1. Follow the path to the west and head up the stairs to the passengers. You will receive an Opal if you make it in 18 minutes or less.

Backtrack all the way back to the first area, Starboard Area 2, and go east through the exit at point A to the Central Accessway. Use the top exit in that room and dash through Starboard Area 3 to the end of the path to help the next group of passengers. If you make it to them within 20 minutes you will receive a Specific.

Backtrack a bit to access the adjacent walkway and continue east where you will have a brief chat with Milla.

Marksburg

In the large open Bow Accessway, go north to grab an item and use the save point to make sure you can finish the rest of the area in the time you have left. Use the exit at point C to go to Port Area 3. Run up to the small connecting section of the walkway and take the second shortcut back east to help injured passengers 5. If you reach them within 25 minutes, you get a Pudding Cake (Medium).

The next injured passenger is a bit out of the way. Race out through the western exit to the next Central Accessway and into a battle with a single Exodus Scout. This is a forced fight that is simply story related. To get to the next passenger, you need to use the exit in the upper right to return to Port Area 3. Save the people at the end of the walkway within 28 minutes to pocket 20000 gald.

Head back to the Central Accessway and use the exit on the upper left this time to reach Port Area 2. Stop in the Port Deck briefly to grab a few items and run to the western end of the next walkway. Feint past the Disguised Exodus Soldier and go down the small staircase to the injured people. If you made it here within 28 minutes you will earn the Wisdom Ring.

Leave Port Area 2 through point D to reach Port Area 1. Grab 13000 gald in the Port Bar Hall, then circle around to the long staircase at point E to reach the upper level. If you reach passenger 8 within 30 minutes the reward is Iron Leggings.

After helping the most recent passenger, you need to circle back to exit Port Area 1 using the lower walkway to the west, which will take you to the Second Hall. Look to the south to find passenger 9 who will give you a Finest Fur if you make it within 35 minutes.

The last passenger is at the top of the stairs and will reward you with Rune Mail if you make it within 35 minutes. If you have rescued all 10 passengers (or groups of passengers) you can leave at point G to reach the Central Deck. There is no turning back once you leave this area, so make sure you have finished collecting treasures and exploring.

Save and prep for a boss fight before entering the Central Hall. Also, before the actual confrontation takes place, there are several dialogue options that can greatly increase your affinity.

SPOILER WARNING!

Boss Rideaux

Attack the Spirius Agents First

You won’t be able to attack Rideaux effectively with the Spirius Agents interfering, so make it a point to defeat them first. After that, put Jude on healing duty—his strike-type attacks can’t effectively damage Rideaux—and link with Milla, who will be able to immobilize Rideaux. Make sure Ludger is equipped with dual blades that have an elemental damage type other than Dark. Rideaux has lots of attacks that deal damage to targets near himself, so begin blocking whenever you see him bend forward.

Rideaux’s Dancing Bayonet throws projectiles all around himself. This attack is unblockable and you’ll be knocked down if you’re hit, so begin running away as soon as you see its name appear.

As he gets low on HP, Rideaux begins to use the Striking Bayonet attack, in which he throws projectiles and generates whirlwinds. When you see Rideaux begin the casting process, run as far away as you can or leap over the projectiles.

Everyone regroups at Marksburg to discuss the attack and make an effort towards peace.

Elle runs off again, but she is just on the opposite end of Marksburg on the Rieze Harbor side near the docks. Speak to her and try to comfort the little girl through a tough situation.

Save Up Gald to Buy New Gear for Jude, Milla, and Rowen

An extremely powerful boss awaits you in the next chapter, and the three comrades who will be facing it with Ludger are Jude, Milla, and Rowen. New gear, including Gothic Helms and Mythril Coats are available in Elym Harbor, and you’ll want to prioritize buying it for those three characters. At this point in the game, the best items are being sold at the shops in Elym Harbor.

Complete a Quest to Earn the Mega Glacier Extractor

Don’t miss A Lie Becomes the Truth among the newly available quests. By slaying a single Snow Dragon in the Mon Highlands, you can earn the Mega Glacier Extractor, which extracts Water and Earth-type elements. You may also be able to accept a random quest that involves killing Snow Dragons, and you could then complete both at once to kill two birds with one stone.

If you complete the A Peaceful Family quest, you can receive the Duality body armor. The Model Windmill you need to complete it can be found at the Sharilton Inn. However, another quest requires a Model Windmill, so you’ll have to send your cats to Sharilton to search for another one.
