-
The Calnus
- Back on the ship, do the usual Invention Sessions and IC to your heart's content. You can't include Bacchus in an IC session without warping to another location, so visit Aeos and Lemuris to do some mining and the side quests that are available.
- You can instal the Li'l Vending Machine you acquired in the Recreational Room - just look for the glowing panel by the treadmills and examine it, then select the vending machine and it'll be installed. It sells basic items for your convenience.
- If you haven't already done so, examine the glowing panel near the hatches in the Recreational Room to install the Curing Sheet, and since you now have five party members, you'll need to make two people share a room. If Reimi has a high enough affinity for you, you'll be able to share a room with her. Lymle has a fondness for Bacchus, so they can share a room as well.
- This is your last chance to complete orders for the shops in the Exploration Base and to get new ship data. There are new side quests in Lemuris as well taht are worth completing early on, and since you have Bacchus now, you can mine various minerals and gems from the Mining Points on Lemuris. After you arrive on Aeos or Lemuris, you'll be able to include Bacchus in the Invention Sessions for new recipes.

-
Lemuris, Woodley Village
- Check out all the Mining Points to get some elemental gems on your way to Woodley Village, and once you get there, you can perform a few side quests. One of them can't be completed right now since it requires an item you can't make without a future party member.
- Talk to Lutea's mother to get Recipe Memo 07 (Pasta Bolognese) since you need this food to complete a side quest later on.
-
Lemuris Side Quests
- These are the side quests you can complete on Lemuris before heading to your next destination.
In Need of Nectar
- Talk to the storehouse worker in the northern portion of the village - he'll ask for 16 Nectars. You can harvest these through the Harvest Points on Lemuris. The higher Reimi's Harvest skill is, the more chance you'll have to obtain more than one Nectar per harvest.
- You can alternatively max out Reimi's Botany skill and fight Dryads, which also drop Nectar. Once you have 16, return and talk to the storehouse worker to receive 100 EXP and 40 PSP.
In Search of 'Shrooms
- Talk to the storehouse worker from the In Need of Nectar side quest, and he'll ask for 16 Tasty Mushrooms. These can be harvested from the Harvest Points in the Van Elm Region of Lemuris.
- Alternatively, you can fight Giant Fungi and Man-Eating Trees, as both of these enemies drop Tasty Mushrooms. When you have them, talk to the storehouse worker again to receive 120 EXP and 33 PSP.
The Stubborn Matriarch
- In the Woodley Village Inn, talk to the Obstinate Woman across the counter - she'll ask you to bring her mother-in-law from Triom Village back to her. It's a bit of a walk, but you can return to the ship and exit again to reset all the Harvest and Mining Points for extra goodies along the way.
- When you get to Triom, talk to the Old Crone and then walk back to Woodley Village. Talk to the Obstinate Woman again to receive 80 EXP and 40 PSP.
Oil of the Cold
- After you complete The Stubborn Matriarch, talk to the Old Crone, who'll request Wolf Oil. You can get this from fighting Saber-Tooth Tigers in the Wind Swallow Valley/Celestial Ship area.
- After you have one(or if you already have one from fighting them earlier), talk to the Old Crone again to receive 80 EXP and 30 PSP.
Fang Flute Fabrication
- Talk to the Lonely Young Girl in the southern portion of the village - she'll tell you she needs a Fang Flute. Make two of them using IC, and deliver it. You can't make it right now, since it requires a future party member you don't have right now.
- You can go ahead and grab the Wolf Fang from the Saber-Tooth Tigers in Wind Swallow Valley - remember to get two of them, and when you get the party member you need, make two Fang Flutes. Talk to the Lonely Young Girl again after you make them to receive 800 EXP and 47 PSP.
The Calnus II
- Talk to Reimi to get a call from your commander, then watch the cutscene that follows. Afterwards, you can begin triggering PAs to increase affinities between team mates. For the first one, you'll need to choose between a scene with Bacchus, or Lymle and Faze - you can only trigger one of the two, so decide now.
PAs
- Talk to Bacchus in the Recreational Room, where he's playing chess. Triggering this will increase Bacchus' and Edge's affinity towards each other. If you trigger this one, you can not do number 2 below.
- Alternatively, head to the Crew's Quarters and talk to Lymle. This increases Faize's and Lymle's affinity towards Edge, and Edge's affinity towards Lymle. If you trigger this one, you can not do number 1 above.
- Go to the Meeting Room and examine the panel to watch another scene with Welch.
- Enter the Storage Room and train against Faize - he's tough, but it doesn't matter who wins. Both Edge and Faize will have increased affinity towards each other, but if Faize wins, he'll grow closer to Lymle as well as Edge.
- Enter the bathroom in the Crew's Quarters to get a peep of Reimi taking a bath - this has a negative impact on Edge and Reimi's affinities towards each other. If you really want to see it, save before triggering it and reload.
- Talk to Bacchus in his room to have Bacchus and Edge grow closer.
- Talk to Reimi in the Meeting Room, and Edge, Faize, and Lymle will grow closer to each other.
- Talk to Lymle in the Recreational Room, and Faize and Lymle's affinity towards each other will increase.
- Play Bacchus in a game of chess - if you triggered the first PA listed it'll be a continuation of that game; otherwise, it's the scene you would have gotten had you triggered the first PA listed.
- Talk to Reimi in the Simulator Room - you get two dialog options, both for positive effects between both chracters. The first option will increase Edge's affinity towards Reimi greatly, while the second option increases Reimi's affinity towards Edge greatly.
- After you trigger the last PA, you'll be treated to more cutscenes before landing on Earth.
Earth
- Earth is the next destination you'll reach during the game - there's not as much to it as Lemuris or Aeos, but there is one thing worth noting - the fridge.
Abandoned Town
- Edge, Faize, and Bacchus will be the out party to explore the Abandoned Town, leaving the girls behind to guard the Calnus. Head to the gas station to watch some scenes, then go back inside afterward and check the chest.
- The fridge here is awesome - it has an infinite supply of Blueberries, Aquaberries, Mixed Syrup, and Fresh Sage, so keep checking it until you max out your supply of each before continuing.
- Grab the items in this area, which includes some Protection Seeds in the southwest portion of the map(just west of the Calnus). Head to Klaus' house northeast of the gas station to watch some more cutscenes.
- Lymle will rejoin the party after the cutscenes, and you'll be back in control. Examine the fridge in Klaus' house to trigger a PA with Lymle and Faize, which increases Edge's affinity towards the two, and Faize's affinity towards Edge.
- Raid the fridge here for infinite amounts of recovery items - these fridges on Earth are very well-stocked. Leave the house and go back to the gas station. There, examine the radio on the counter to trigger a PA with Bacchus that increases Edge's affinity towards him, then head to the southwest(grabbing the Defense Seeds there if you haven't already).
- Examine the fence, head inside, and grab the item. Examine the phone, and the base entrance will rise from the ground. This is the only opportunity to pickpocket Protection Seeds from Klaus, so do so, then save your game and enter the base.
Military Facility
- This facility came out of the ground when you checked the phone - sounds like it might be exciting to check out, right? You'll fight aliens, zombies, and Bigfoot monsters, so be prepared.
Holding Area
- Monsters Encountered: Bigfoot Sam, Little Alien, Soldier Zombie
- Harvest Items: N/A
- Mining Items: N/A
- You'll be in a holding cell after the scenes get finished. Talk to everyone, saving Faize for last, to trigger an event that leads to your escape. The Holding Area, while small, has a lot of decent items, and the enemies here all add +5% to their analysis, so go ahead and work on them.
- As you head south, you'll run across the mysterious girl that Klaus descried on the way. She runs off, and after viewing the cutscene, enemies will respawn in this area, with you right in the middle. It's a good chance to earn some green Bonus Board tiles, unless your party's HP is low - in that case, dash away to the recovery point in the northernmost room that's west of the southern corridor.
- Continue heading south and get ready for a boss fight just past the save point - it might be better for you to head all the way back to the recovery point before you face the boss.
BOSS FIGHT: Genomic Beast
- HP: 32396
- Resists: Fire
- Weak: Thunder
- EXP: 5156
- Fol: 2388
- Drops: Iron Claws
- Use Bacchus' Galvanic Shock attack - it perpetually stuns the boss, keeping it from moving. If you don't have enough SP to max out Galvanic Shock, have Lymle use her Thunder attacks from long-range while taking shots at it.
- Use Edge and Bacchus to keep the boss occupied while switching characters whenever the Genomic Beast enters Rush Mode. You can't attack the boss from behind due to its tail, so just keep healing and you'll win easily enough.
- After the boss fight, Meracle joins your party. Head back to the recovery point, then save your game and head south. Grab the last item available, the Alien's Robe, then enter the door to trigger more cutscenes.
- NOTE: Meracle is a fast character with combos that connect quite easily - her low HP and defense rating, however, act as a balance to that. Teach her some spare skills you might have lying around, and give her the Iron Claws you obtained from the last boss fight. For decent skill distribution, teach her First Aid or HP Boost.
Experiment Area
- Monsters Encountered: Bigfoot Sam, Little Alien, Soldier Zombie
- Harvest Items: N/A
- Mining Items: N/A
- You'll be trapped inside the Experiment Area. Talk to Reimi, and she'll rejoin your party - equip the Alien Arc you found earlier, then talk to Faize and Meracle(in that order) to watch another cutscene.
- After you regain control of the party, fight through to the only exit on the map. There are enemies loitering in the corners here, so be ready for surprise attacks. Alternatively, you could equip someone with the Warning Brooch to avoid the "surprise" aspect entirely.
- Be sure you have 100% analysis on Bigfoot Sam, Little Alien, and Soldier Zombie before heading out, since this is the only place you can get them. When you reach the exit, you'll be treated to more cutscenes and return to the Calnus.
