Walkthrough / Playthrough / Let's Play
Description:
In this dungeon crawler, you must choose one of four routes to determine the background of your protagonist, but all routes will have the protagonist and their friends explore ruins near the town of Holm, allowing them to collect loot and discover ancient secrets. In this run, I chose the female rogue, a bar performer who was raised in the slums with Paris and Chuna.

=======================================================
0:00 Dragon Tower Cursed Gem
You can get Fia's Lazurite by examining the dragon skull while a light source is on. Unfortunately, I learned that these gems are cursed and can push me towards the bad ending. While there is a way to remove them, just wearing them even once in a playthrough means losing out on an SP bonus. At the same time, I feel like the game takes such a massive difficulty spike in the Ancient City arc that it's almost justifiable to give up on that SP bonus.
1:31 Outside Town
The people of Rendume built a refuge north of their village remains. The leader, Gustar, is not happy with Holm's slow response. He states that the enemy boss is in a mountain to the east, but the boss is really strong.
4:49 Witch Hideout
8:12 Boss: Demon Lord Ibia
The boss has an instant death skill and can use some powerful magic. She will also resummon her minions if both of them are dead at the start of a turn. If you found the legend about the witch of Varamere, you should know she's weak to fire and only fire.
In hindsight, I should taken advantage of the checkpoint (no bonuses possible) to farm up affection for Kileha.
11:17 Teor's Cleanup
When you head for the exit, Teor and his troops will come in to finish off the rest of Ibia's army.
16:32 Famous Swords
17:56 Dreadful Prophecy
20:08 Holm
There's a new NPC, Balsimus, who is a High Priest from Yulefrere.
22:09 Giant Tower Temple
You need flour to defeat the invisible enemy in the southmost room. Afterwards, you can dig up treasure and examine nearby events.
There's a battle with five of the ascetic monk enemies. One of them is bad enough, but five is basically AOE and sleeplock hell.
There's a genie that you can activate with the password "corporealize" and you get to make three wishes. However, you don't have to make them right away.
There's a 15 sliding puzzle that I just looked up a solver for. https://www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/javascript/fifteenj.htm
You'll find a monk, Datta, who is invincible unless you find a way to break his composure. Failed cooking results like Charred Stone will work.
31:53 Boss: Monk Datta
Without his defenses, he's basically a souped up version of the monk enemy.
34:11 Sparing the Monk
Yes, sparing or killing him affects karma.
34:55 Giant Tower Summit
There are several events here that require trial and error, as well as luck, so now would be a good time for the save stone. At least two events require rope.
The sneaking event can be made easier by using the Stealth skill.
The blizzard event requires you to keep staying in the makeshift shelter, despite the periodic minor damage. Trying to leave or advance will result in heavy damage to you.
42:26 Dwarf Tower Upper
Use the password on the elevator to reach the Blackiron territory.
44:30 Boss: Earth Tank
The boss has minions and really high defense, but is weak to lightning. It also has a powerful fire AOE every third turn. It can also be weakened with the Swordmaster class's Steelcutter.
45:51 Dwarf Tower Upper P2
53:59 Boss: Earth Tank Loki
Basically a stronger version of the Earth Tank.
56:05 Mibel's Escape
That usurper escapes with Demon Lord Larg to the lower floor. However, you now have the Blackiron Key to chase him.
I finally got the 5000 TTEXP reward, which will hopefully make the rest of the game less stressful now that I don't have to strive for it anymore.
