Main route checkpoints
- Approach the tower’s outer wall on the Enterprise and let Sakura’s barrier scene finish. A purchased entry key is not required.
- Follow connected platforms and teleporters; the story prevents flying straight to the summit.
- Allow allied support to resolve Behemoth’s protected opening, then use Wind/Light and prepare for Meteor.
- Before the final teleporter, inspect active and reserve equipment, recovery and Rain’s independent Dark/recovery setup.
- Use Dark on Sol and Light on Dark Bahamut, then prepare the hand order and reserve swaps for Chaotic Darkness.
- Continue through both forms, the Last Resonance transition and Rain’s later solo confrontation. Resolve the final escape/ending prompts.
If progression seems stuck
After credits, load the cleared save for optional cleanup and Ardra Crater. One defeated body is not the entire ending sequence; reserve readiness matters before the final commitment.
