Demo walkthrough: prologue through chapter 1
Updated 2026-10-16. Checked 2026-10-16.
Chapter 1 is the demo. It has 18 objectives, three landmasses, four story bosses, and three optional bosses. Leave the castle, clear Earth Shrine, pick a Vision in Mitra, save the king, then sail from Grandport after Siren.
I turned the competitor’s ten-step route into sentences instead of copying their map. The scrolls are the part I would not skip: Flame before the next fire-weak fight, Ice after Felicitas, Lightning before the Grandport fight.
Ten beats
Earth Shrine is a three-floor dungeon, danger level 3, two save points, and eight chests. The published chest list includes a Phoenix Down, two Flame Scrolls, a Nodachi, potions, a Bulletproof Vest, 400 gil, and an Ether.
- Leave Grandshelt Castle.
- Investigate the Earth Shrine and take the Flame Scrolls.
- Visit Mitra, including Rain’s house, and equip Tronn or Leah.
- Return to the castle and save the king. Hell’s Rider is weak to light.
- Felicitas and Kol. Rent a chocobo if you want to skip the Antlion ambush. Ice Scroll is in Felicitas.
- Kolobos Ruins, and Emma’s mother. The Hunger is fought twice, first weak to ice, then to light.
- Grandport, find a ship, and pick up the Lightning Scroll.
- Visit Siren. She charms the party. Tronn’s Thunder is the chapter’s lightning skill.
- Leave Grandport by ship.
