World Map - Caldisla Lake

World Map

After the short conversation, you'll get a short tutorial about summoning friends and sending your selected move/command that they'll be able to once they summon you. Once done, save your game if you want then head back to the city.

Caldisla

You can sleep in the inn to replenish your party's HP then head to the castle to speak with the King. After the conversation, you'll now be able to access the Norende Village restoration menu from the left side of the bottom screen. A new party chat will become available as well. (PC: Agnes Intentions) For more information about the village restoration, please refer to the Norende Village Restoration page of the guide. If you have played the demo and was able to get a lot of residents in the village, you should start with 20 villagers. This is a good enough number to start some restoration efforts to the village to unlock shops. The contents of these shops can be bought from any adventurer you encounter.

Leave the castle and you'll have to view another conversation. Another party chat will be viewable afterward. (Tiz the Navigator) Save your game if you still haven't then leave the city. You can grind outside the city if you want to get some extra exp and money to get better equipment. When you're ready, head to the southwest this time to reach the lake.

World Map

Once you're near, a cutscene will be triggered. This will be your first boss battle.

(Monk) Barras

HP: 300, Weakness: None

(White Mage) Holly

HP: 250, Weakness: None

Focus your attacks on Holly first since she can use damaging magic attacks and can buff too. Keep your party's HP above 50% using potions or the Freelancer ability "Treat". I suggest using potions since they heal 150 HP per use. Potions are also cheap to come by so you don't have to be mindful of using them as necessary. Holly will use Protect to increase her and Barras' defense. Barras can also use Invigorate to increase his phys attack damage. Once Holly is taken out, alternately go on default to stack BP and heal as necessary.

After the battle, you'll get the Monk and White Mage asterisks. These are new jobs that you can change into from hereon. Have your two current characters change to these jobs. For now, return to the castle.

Caldisla

As soon as you enter, you’ll get a tutorial about Magic. Since you have some cash, you can head to the magic shop and buy at least Cure. You can buy other scrolls as well if you have cash though I’ll recommend spending your funds in upgrading your current equipment. You can also rest at the inn to fully replenish your party. If you’ve been playing the Norende Village Restoration mini-game, you should have access to great equipment at this point. Head to the throne room and talk to the King to continue with the story.

After the conversation with the King, a party chat will be available. (Two Bumpkins). Head to the inn and watch the next scene. After the scenes, Ringabel will join your party. D’s Journal will be added to your menu. A new party chat will be available as well. (A Man of Mysteries) Exit the city as well. In the overworld, cross the river to the northeast and enter the fort along the path.
