Marlind, the City of the Great Tree
Item List
Alisha’s story continues a few months after the final battle between Sorey and Heldalf with the pending resignation of Chancellor Mathia. Since the passing of Chancellor Bartlow, the chancellor does not see the need to continue in its current form and plans to hand off operations to the new guard, Princess Alisha. Her efforts in conjunction with Sergei have been fruitful, and Mathia has come to accept that the old council members are now more hindrance than help. Alisha reflects on Sorey’s contributions to the current state of the world as her new journey begins.
Activate the nearby save point to check out the Lord of the Land Menu options. Take a look at the available Boons and select any that may fit your play style. Make sure to select the free boons as well. If you are starting from scratch, you will have 15 points to spend on the various boons. If you are using New Game + data, you may have more available to you. You can also set Normin (you have 30 of the 50 available to you) if you already know what types of equipment skills you want to fuse.
There is a treasure chest near the rocks to the left of the save point containing a Grape Gel. The path to the right has a few villagers you can talk to if you wish, or you may continue down the path to the left.

As you move toward the town center, a pro-war extremist ambushes Alisha. Something doesn’t seem quite right, and she deduces that he must be a hellion. It is not possible to lose this battle, so instead focus on learning Alisha’s battle mechanics. Just when it seems as though all hope is lost, Rose saves the day! She reminds Alisha to stay vigilant and the two discuss the missing Shepherd. After resting, Alisha decides she must find out what has happened to Sorey.
The villagers on the path to the right have a few new things to say if you wish to speak to them, or you may skip them and begin your trek to the inn. There is a treasure chest to the right of the path near the rocks in front of the Marlind sanctuary containing a Spear of Impending Death. You can skip the sanctuary for now since there is nothing of value inside. Be sure to grab the Red Sage herb on the south side of the rock to your right before reaching the villagers. There is a treasure chest containing a Ribbon of Cosmos on the deck nearby.
Activate the save point and grab the Red Saffron near the house. Continuing along the path, there is a treasure chest containing a Drop Bottle behind Weaponsmith Cuatrind’s shop. Make sure to grab the Red Chamomile near the tree in front of the inn. Before entering the inn, continue along the path to find a treasure chest containing 10,000 gald. Rose is standing at the entrance to the inn.
Alisha is eager to find out what happened with the Lord of Calamity, but Rose has other plans. Lailah and Edna are also here and attempt to persuade Rose, but Rose rebuffs them and takes off for the inn. You may talk to the villager outside if you wish, otherwise follow Rose inside.
She escaped through the window! Alisha will have to wait to find out what Rose knows. Onward to Lastonbell to find some answers. Take some time to stock up on items, equip Alisha, assign artes, and set battle actions before leaving town if you haven’t already. Exit Marlind through either gate to go directly to Lastonbell.
Rose is surprised at Alisha’s tenacity, but still refuses to let Alisha know what is going on with Sorey. Soon, the quarrel becomes a physical brawl. Lailah and Edna wonder if they should intervene, but ultimately decide not to.
