Main route checkpoints
- Leave the capital for Earth Shrine. Prepare Rain’s Fire for Belmodar; Visions are not available yet.
- After the crystal scenes, visit Rain’s blue-roofed Mitra house and its interior door. Equip Leah/Tronn before the castle rescue.
- Defeat Hell’s Rider, then let Umbra’s scripted defeat progress. Continue until Fina joins.
- At Kol, finish the conversations and inn stay, obtain the chocobo and head to Felicitas.
- Follow Emma’s missing-villager objective into Kolobos Ruins. Win both Hunger encounters, changing Ice to Light on revival.
- Return to Grandport, speak to the sailor, climb Siren’s Tower and use Lightning with Charm protection. Finish the summit scenes and return to the captain to sail.
If progression seems stuck
If the captain will not depart, check the Siren result and following conversation. Optional desert fights and every shard are separate from the required ship objective.
