There may be actions that are done for practical purpose or for no particular purpose in the playthrough; the mandatory actions done in this episode are the following and they can be used as a guide (note that during this playthrough, certain actions can only be done during a short period of time and others can be postponed; note also that there is the possibility I may have missed events like dialogue replacement, sprite change, additional scenes and so on, since those are not generally considered as goals and are not documented at all):
* Read the description of the key item "Gizamaluke Bell" (timecode: 01:21).
* Read the description of the key item "Chocograph Piece" (timecode: 01:22).
* Pass the mandatory battle against black mages Type A in Gizamaluke's Grotto by petrifying all enemies, in order to not get EXP points (timecode: from 02:53 to 03:55).
* Obtain a Gizamaluke Bell from the soldier (timecode: 04:25).
* Read the description of the key item "Gizamaluke Bell" (timecode: 04:46).

* Read the description of the second key item "Gizamaluke Bell" (timecode: 09:02; I am not sure if reading the description of the various "Gizamaluke Bell" key items in Gizamaluke's Grotto meets the "achievements" criterion since those key items can be reobtained more than once, but I recommend to do it just in case).

* Read the description of the key item "Gizamaluke Bell" just obtained (timecode: 09:40).

I recommend to dig up the chests of as many Chocographs as possible for practical purpose.
