Description:
The galaxy of Xerxes is nominally at peace and the human Prince Chad is engaged with Erran Princess Ellemine, which will hopefully improve relations between Sectors 1 and 4. Unfortunately, Draconian Count Estuuban seeks to destroy this peace and take over Xerxes. It's up to Klein, Ellemine's bodyguard, to stop Estuuban's conquest and come to terms with his dark past.

0:00 Recap
0:17 Planet X
The enemies are rated at level 70, which is the same as Niredia for some reason. There are also some Somakians, but I have no idea what they're up to. The witch from the Atlas character database is also here.
2:19 Boss: Fiend of the Unknown Abyss
Unlike me, you should be more proactive in maintaining your reflect states.
8:17 Planet X P2
The chests contain the ultimate weapons, and you'll need it for the next boss. For some reason, the Lord of the Unknown has a connection to Bryan's bloodline.
9:26 Boss: Lord of the Unknown
The guide recommends using Veronica's confusion AOE to get more breathing room. The boss is also untyped, so it doesn't have weaknesses or resistances to any damage type.
19:53 Planet X P3
20:31 Atlas
You can now take on the quest that was recently released, where a distress signal is received from Planet Zaphoria. I recommend buying the powerful healing items from Opalius, as well as buff removal items from the Atlas.
22:44 Volaris Prime
The first screen is just a fetch quest puzzle, but the next screen contains very powerful random encounters that are rated for level 90+. The enemies are way faster than your tanks while hitting extremely hard.
Eventually, you'll find Talen, a Somakian Liberation Group leader. The Ether Demons wiped out everyone in their team, so it's up to the party to help them.
Unlike me, you should start with the NE path. The west path boss seems to be harder than the others.
36:40 Boss: Gethrax
Despite its name, it's a physical type and is weak to ether damage.
The boss starts with buffs and reflection on its entire team. It will also recast the buffs as it loses HP, including regen, and it can revive minions occasionally. Overall, it feels like a huge difficulty spike over the Lord of the Unknown.
49:44 Volaris Prime P2
You get an accessory that allows the wearer to summon Talen to use one of their skills.
51:53 Boss: Viraak
The boss is an ether type. They can use a skill that deals massive damage to two random characters and will likely KO one or both of them. However, they don't start with reflect like the previous boss, so you can use Veronica's confusion hex right off the bat.
1:03:39 Volaris Prime P3
1:05:05 Boss: Xenara
The boss is a tech type.
I lost patience with how OP the bosses are in terms of damage, so I used a cheese strat. I used the Blackhall Glass item whenever the boss was about to get her turn, which confused her without fail. If you do this, you can confuse-lock the boss and not have to worry about anything other than their HP threshold actions and minions. I have a feeling the dev is going to patch out this method soon after I publish this video on June 19, 2023.
1:11:41 Volaris Prime P4
1:13:43 Boss: Malgorth
The boss has all the minions of the previous bosses combined, which means it gets pretty much every relevant buff, including group reflection. Even though I managed to confuse-lock the boss itself, the minions have so much combined DPS that I struggled to survive.
1:28:43 Volaris Prime P5
Once you enter the Atlas, you won't be able to return to this planet anymore, which kind of sucks. I hope I didn't miss anything in that Astral zone.
