=======================================================
0:00 Heracles vs Astal
When we approach Baction, we see the Heracles attacking an Entelexeia, Astal. Astal is forced to retreat into a hole in the mountain. When we enter Baction, we find that Alexei is using a bunch of Apatheia to form a pokeball to keep Estelle in. He then forces Estelle to unleash her powers and knock out the party.
Sodia's team shows up to fight off the Royal Guard and she mocks Yuri for being so full of bravado, though this is a lot weirder in the post-360 versions considering Flynn technically got knocked out with Yuri. Sodia tells Flynn to go to Ioder, but Flynn insists on pursuing Alexei.
7:58 Baction
This place has so many rooms that you'll be given a minimap that fills itself out as you explore.
At one point, Flynn mentions that he's still obligated to arrest Yuri, but it's not a high priority at the moment. Though he still has reservations about doing so.
19:36 Dein Nomos
At a room with a barrier door, you'll have a mandatory fight against some Royal Guardsmen. Duke will show up intending to kill Estelle so that Alexei can't use her powers for his evil plans. The party still wants to try to save her, so Duke lends Yuri the aer-controlling sword, Dein Nomos. With this, we can get past the barrier.
22:53 Baction 2
At some point, you'll find a dark room with holes in the floor. If you walk into a hole, you'll fall to the lower floor. If you do this three times, Rita will give you a missable key item. It probably counts towards the collector's book.
33:44 Traitor Confirmed
Alexei has Estelle kill Astal and gloats over how easily he's taking the Apatheia. He tries to have Estelle drown the party in Aer, but Yuri manages to block it with Dein Nomos. Alexei reveals that he originally wanted that sword, but now sees it as a hindrance since he has a similar power in Estelle. Alexei then retreats while leaving Captain Schwann Oltorain behind to fight the party. However, Schwann looks a lot like our former party member.
39:59 Boss: Schwann (Hard)
Unlike me, you may want to bring Karol. While Repede will have an easier time getting the Secret Mission (attack Schwann right after his MA), Karol can acts as a secondary healer to Flynn or Patty. You may also want to figure out which items can take away stat debuffs, since Schwann's artes in OL can inflict various stat downs, including agility debuffs!
Unlike me, you should set Rita to automatically use OL 1, since melee combos are difficult to pull off on this guy. Unless you're an expert at keeping bosses in combos, it's easier to use melee attackers to support OL casters.
50:40 Raven's Sacrifice
Yuri slashes Schwann's chest, revealing a blastia heart that won't allow him to die.
The room entrance caves in, due to Alexei wanting to get rid of us and sacrifice Schwann, with the latter calmly accepting death. The party convinces him to live in order to honor the Don's memory, so Schwann returns to being Raven and shoots the rubble. Unfortunately, the ceiling collapses and Raven is left behind trying to hold it up for the party.
Outside, we tell the Schwann Brigade what happened to their captain. Our next step is to go to Heracles, which is parked near Zaphias.
BTW, "The Empty Mask" manga fleshes out Raven's motivations more than the game and explains what happened to him during the Great War.
