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 Fishing Dangers
I tried fishing a bit in the ruins, but ran into a Kraken. It's normally not too strong, but my party is still wounded from last time.
2:47 Holm
When you sleep, you get a dream about a pond. You also see a striped pattern in the sky.
This time, I recruited Nell and Theresia. The former has a sidequest with Gallio and the latter is useful in the next dungeon.
For Gallio's sidequest, you have to gather materials for him. Once you do so three times, he'll teach Nell either weapon or armor crafting, but you won't be able to learn the other skill until you bring him more ingredients.
If Syphon is in your party or if you're lucky, you can talk to Deneros to get a disturbing conversation between them. Apparently, Syphon killed his friend in an experiment, but it's unknown if it was an accident.
21:30 Outside of Town
I tried to cut wood, but to no avail.
If you liberate Orsel, you can gain access to a hill where Nell can learn dowsing.
You can buy additional ingredients in Orsel.
You can't truly liberate Shirin, since it's already destroyed, but you can kill the boss occupying the place.
29:57 Boss: Oni Rider
If you have Theresia, have her buff the party's defense.
32:17 Outside of Town P2
Check Shirin again to loot some items.
36:33 Legend of Holm
37:31 River Girl
Titus was a hero who fell in love with a girl near the river. The princess of Varamere used a love potion to NTR him and turn him into a hedonist, so the river girl flooded Titus's empire.
38:31 Holm P2
39:51 Palace
It really sucks not having a Perception character, so unlike me, you may want to bring one. This place has even more tricks and traps than the previous areas combined.
There are undead creatures here. The zombies are weak to fire and the ghosts are resistant to standard physical weapons, but weak to holy and magic ones.
There's a hall with a dancing trap, but you can get around it by having Theresia in the party. The female rogue is also supposed to be able to solve this.
I have no idea what the most optimal method for clearing the kitchen room is. I ended up having to fight a stronger version of the Beast Demon.
If you dig up the hidden treasure with a pickaxe, you'll get Dead Book Vol 1. Syphon suddenly showed up and wanted to trade a different skill book for it, and I accepted.
56:20 Boss: Chaotic Beast
It's weak to fire and holy, but it can cast AOE poison on the party!
58:36 Palace P2
In the courtyard, after defeating a mob of plant monsters, you'll find a fountain that shows you visions. You can also fish in this fountain.
You can find the entrance to the Fairy Tower Lower dungeon, but I highly recommend using the Atwiki for this one, since it requires you to know the specific directions.
I slept in the SE corner, but got a nightmare where the protag got tied up and experimented on. Fortunately, it didn't really happen, but it shows that the Palace is driving them mad.
1:16:20 Boss: Reject x8
The enemies can stunlock you, so make sure to cast the party def buff.
1:18:51 Palace P3
1:20:02 Boss: Tom, John, and Dancing Dead Team
1:20:36 Palace P4
There's some weird philosophy debate that ends in a chicken morphing into a harpy. I made a strategic retreat back to Holm afterwards.
