Step-by-Step Guide

1. Fly Around in the Airship

   Fly around for new quests, Visions, gear and bosses, and note the high level ones for later.

2. Speak to Chloe in Felicitas

   This unmarked scene points you to the Chamber of Arms, where she hands over the Ancient Bow; save its trials until your party is around level 50.

3. Look for Mysidia

   Scan the southern part of the map until a scene reveals Mysidia, the Uncharted Land.

4. Explore the City

   You cannot leave yet, so recruit Sakura and visit the Potion Factory, and restart the game if a Mog Tag moogle gets stuck.

5. Explore the Mysidia Region

   Gather items, beat Shiva and collect the last Visions from the main series games.

6. Defeat the Slagworm

   Bring Wind skills and Star Pendants, since it can swallow a party member and poison the rest.

7. Enter the Village of Sunioo

   Talk to the Village Headman; for Sakura's choice, the second line adds Magic.

8. Go to the Nameless Ruins

   Both mini bosses must fall before the back door opens, and the entrance chest wants its three statues touched in order.

9. Survive Against Tellus

   You cannot win this one, so just survive until it ends on its own.

10. Enter the Arcane Library

    Win five set fights, and make sure no one's level ends in 0 or 5, since one enemy casts Death 5.

11. Defeat Byblos

    Use Dark and Fire, and summon Carbuncle to reflect its spells.

12. Enter Fina's Psyche

    A linear area, but search it fully for Tablet Shards.

13. Head to the Tower of Mysidia

    Climb the tower and check the chests just off the main path.

14. Re-Enter Fina's Psyche

    Take the new path east and get ready for a forced Malboro fight full of ailments.

15. Head Through the Gate

    Follow the path to the area boss, who is weak to Light and Water.

16. Defeat Tellus

    Pack Wind skills of both damage types and obey the battle rules he displays during the fight.

17. Return to Sakura's House

    The chapter ends at her house, so afterward recheck optional bosses and arena fights at your new level.

Chapter 5 Tips

• Check party levels before the Arcane Library.
• Star Pendants save a lot of healing in the Mysidia region.
• Whirlpool Hollow, home of the Sephiroth fight, can be reached once you have the airship.

List of All Bosses Encountered

Boss	Lv.	HP	Weak to	Where	Tips
Slagworm	33	90,000		Village of Sunioo	Give all four members Wind skills, since it can swallow one of them. Star Pendants block its Poison.
Iron Giant	34	85,000		Nameless Ruins	Leave physical attackers out, as its defense is very high. Lightning works, same as in the prologue. Raise physical defense or bring a Multi-Cover tank.
Liquid Flame	34	78,000		Nameless Ruins	Physical hits barely scratch it, so use magic. Ice and Water both work. Bring something to soften its Fire attacks.
Byblos	36	95,000		Arcane Library	Carbuncle reflects every spell it throws. Dark and Fire are its weaknesses. Be careful as its stagger gauge runs low.
Archwitch Fina	38	100,000		Fina's Psyche	Light and Water hit her weak spots. Her whip attacks add debuffs, so cleanse them often. At a quarter HP she takes far less damage and hits harder the next turn.
Tellus	39	135,000		Tower of Mysidia	Your first meeting stops by itself once a handful of turns pass, so just stay alive. For the real fight, carry Wind skills of both damage types. Raise defenses to absorb his area attacks.

Optional and Side Quest Bosses

Boss	Lv.	HP	Weak to	Where	Tips
Phantom Train True Form	32	24,000		OverworldThe Call from Beyond	Ice and Light end the fight fast. Accessories that block Blind and Silence make it much easier. Ignore the Doom timer and just keep hitting.
Typhon	35	75,000		AirshipBeyond the Blue	Reload until your three strongest Ice users start the fight. Use your biggest Ice attacks before the party gets blown away. If it is too tough, come back stronger.
Ifrit	33	96,000		Overworld	A 3-star or Mastery Rank 9 Clive absorbs his Fire damage. Summon Leviathan for steady Water damage. Raise both physical and magic defense.
Shiva	35	115,000		Overworld	Kill the elementals before they explode. Sleepga is blocked by a Headband, or by Terra once she reaches 3 stars. Give everyone Fire attacks.
Sephiroth	45	250,000	None	Whirlpool Hollow	A party of physical attackers works best. Spend his Masamune in Waiting turns on buffs and healing. Bring high tier magic, Light especially, for his last phase.
Salome	39	200,000			Monk's Prayer Beads on everyone block Charm. Carbuncle reflects her Stonegas back.
Jotunn	42	240,000			Burst it down hard once its HP gets low. Fire and Dark both hit its weak points.
Malboro Varietas	45	270,000		Malboro Varietas Cave	A 3-star Terra gives you Ribbon against its ailments. Fire is its weakness.
Tartarosaurus	50	350,000		Tartarosaurus Cave	Go all in once it drops to low HP. Ice is its weakness.
Catacumba	54	380,000		Catacumba Cave	Its HP drop weakens it, so push damage early. Healing skills hurt it, so your healers can join the attack.
Titanoraidos	60	800,000		Titanoraidos Cave	Kill it as fast as you can before the fight drags on. Ice is its only weakness.
Malboro Menace	60	700,000		Malboro Menace Cave	Terra at 3 stars grants Ribbon, which shuts down its ailments. Fire hits its weakness.
Alpherg	50	200,000		Chamber of Arms	Reflect stays up for all of phase one, so aim spells at the opposite side to bounce them. Wind and Ice suit phase one, and Lightning suits phase two.
Dabih	50	125,000		Chamber of Arms	In phase one, focus Dabih alone to move on quickly. The Cultist falls to spells while the Warlock falls to physical hits. Light attacks in phase two set up a sweeping stagger.
Brachium	50	200,000		Chamber of Arms	It dodges one damage type at a time, so bring physical and magic attackers. Pack protection from Instant Death.
Sheratan	50	240,000		Chamber of Arms	Equip a Ribbon on whoever runs Multi-Cover to keep its ailments away. Spam Ultima on the two fruits in phase two before it eats them.
Sadalsuud	50	130,000	None	Chamber of Arms	Its weakness shifts, so the party should cover every element. Strong non-elemental attacks also work.
