South Barona Highroad

If you have the steal effect on any of your characters A-Artes, you can steal Roe from the Rising Star's enemies. I don't have that at this point, so I'm just moving forward.

Grab the Red Ribbon from the nearby chest. Firstly, head north and examine the purple flowers for the Puffpetal Down discovery, Puffpetal Down x3, and the skit A Place to Belong. Continue north and grab the Feather from the chest near the Barona zoneline. Afterward, head back south to the cottage for a scene and a fight.

You can now talk to the Turtlez for a lot of new items. There is also a skit here called Class Dismissed in front of Turtlez, and a chest with a Paralysis Charm. Inside the cottage is Pasta x3 and a guy who hints at titles gained through opening multiple chests. Check the sparkling points on the beach and outside the cabin to get the Magic Carta No. 5 (rare find).

When ready, head south from the cottage and pass a woman to trigger a scene. After the event, there may be a sparkling point nearby and a chest with a Rusted Nail. Now go southeast for another scene. Before heading inside ruins, grab the 658 Gald and watch the Bilateral Alliance skit.

Wallbridge Ruins

Pascal will officially join your party and you will be on your way.

Head to the moving stone to the (compass) east and ride it across. Take the only moving stone in this new area to get to a platform with enemies. Ride the western block across and then take the only stone you can until you reach a split. Now take the eastern block to a platform with a green block that takes you to the next area. Take the northern block, which unlocks a gold one, and then head back up via the green block

From up there, go West, 2nd North, North, East. You will now want to take the southern block to a new area where the gold block has appeared to allow you to reach a chest with Scarlet Aroma and 258 Unit(s) of Eleth.

We want to go back to the save point, where we pushed the golden block up: North, West, South, South, East, Green. Save and go south towards a new boss fight.

Boss: Mercurius

Not really a hard one, nor it gives any trophies. 

Watch the scene and you will gain the In the Flesh title. Examine the console for the Projection Device discovery and Takes One to Know One skit. Now, take the block we didn't arrive from to go south and then ascend via the green block.

Take the south block to reach a Hyperdense Crystal and then east to move a purple block. Head back North and go East to a new platform, following the only path available to a Floral Anklet. Go west to a new platform, take the southern green block first to a Book of Maintenance and then head back up and down the other side (notrh green block).

Take the only path you can, grabbing the Steel Tunic on the way, and when you reach the split take the eastern-most block to bump a gold one. Now take the upper southern one to a chest with Life Bottle x3. Head east to another green block and descend.

Take the only block you can and then examine the floating rocks for the Silent Stone discovery and Gut Archaeology skit. Continue west and through the linear path up and then warp out (south exit after riding a floating stone).

After the cutscene, head back into the ruins and watch the Touched in the Head skit. Take the northern blue block twice and then the western-most north block. You should see a purple block just west, take the northern-most west block to hit it. Now follow the other  north-western block all the way to a chest with Panacea Bottle x2. Follow the northern path until you reach the Burn Charm.

Now head out by going: South, South, South, North, East, South, South, South, Warp.

Gralesyde Highroad

Follow the path and to the southwest of Turtlez you may find a sparkling point with the rare drop Magic Carta No. 6.

Continue south until you get a scene. Afterward, there may be a sparkling point just south of you. If you continue south you should come across the Potatoes discovery, Potato x3, and the Settling for Number Two and Risk Management skits. South of this is another sparkling point and a chest with 1920 Gald. Follow the path and continue west instead of going north, to find a Moist Crystal and a sparkling point. Continue and when you reach the group of people, go east back to the road. You should see a treasure on the northern cliff that contains Peach Gel x2. You can now continue northwest to town.

Gralesyde

Aftern the scenes, head to the port in the east first. Follow the path until you actually reach the port area and you should see a chest with Pasta x3 on your right. A little further, you can find a cat to feed. Go back to town.

Head to the building to the left of the Item Shop and grab the Magic Carta No. 31. Now continue west and into the Inn, just past the Equipment Shop. Inside, watch the Who You Are skit at the save point, and then head through the left hall to some boxes that contain a Best Princess Stories book. Exit through the back door, and head east to discovery the Bells of Glory and see the That Would Explain a Lot skit. Continue east to a sparkling spot for some Canola Seeds across the road. Head north, and a bit north from a sign turn left to find a chest with Imp Plushie and a guy who you can haggle down to 3,000 Gald for the Book of Dissolution. Now leave town to the west (backtrack a bit).

The old woman on the west side of town on the bench can make Minced Meat for you if you have Beef and Pork.

Old Gralesyde Highroad

Head west and grab the chest with 1300 Gald you come across. Follow the path and as you head north up a hill, look behind the western tree for an Overgrown Crystal. Continue north, talk to the man with the smiley face 3 times to trigger a fight that will get you Pascal's Wind Summoner title and the Green Cryas. After the fight, you can find Turtlez back at the entrance, and some new NPCs.

North from the bandit is a patch of carrots that you can examine to discover Carrots, get Carrot x3, and watch the Weird Science skit. Hug the east wall and you should come across a chest with a Mariner's Musk and a sparkling point. Back on the path north, you will eventually come to another chest with a Slow Charm and a sparkling spot.

Going further north will lead you back to East Lhant Highroad (you will arrive at the familiar intersection). There is also a skit called Overdue Maintenance as soon as you enter and make a couple of steps. Go back to Gralesyde now.

Gralesyde 

Head back to the main plaza and then go all the way north to Duke Dalen's Manor for some scenes. After the scenes, Asbel will gain the Sword of the King title. Instead of heading for Wallbridge, head back to Duke Dalen's Manor and check the upstairs chest, password is "4". You will get  a Book of Wealth. Now, go downstairs and leave through the right door. Talk to the girl on the path to get the Magic Carta No. 22, Magic Carta No. 23, Magic Carta No. 26, and Magic Carta No. 27. Continue down to the beach to examine the bottle for Message in a Bottle discovery as well as the Jealous Much? skit. You can also examine the crab on the left to get a Crab item. Now head to the Gralesyde Highroad by taking the south exit.

Gralesyde Highroad

Stop by the save point for The Ruins Entrance skit and then continue on to the ruins that is on the other side from here (check the map if you struggle finding it).

Wallbridge Ruins

After warping down, head north across the block for a skit Inside the Ruins. Head west and then use the green block to ascend where you get a scene and can warp out.

Wallbridge

Head north, cross the wooden path, through the door, and grab an Elven Cloak from the chest. Climb the ladder in the center of the room, go up 2 floor, and leave to the south. Head to the center of this area to find the save and the Sword of Salvation skit. Now go back from where you came (through the northwest doors), and leave through the north doors this time. Enter the next tower to the north, then go down 2 floors and pull the lever. This raises the northern bridge.

Leave through the northern door, enter the next building north, check the barrel for the 300 Year-Old Barrel discovery and the Windor Rising skit. Head back south and into the room with the leverl. Go up the ladder 2 floors and then go all the way north for a Darkshine Crystal. Now climb up the ladder in this room and go down the other side for a chest with Book of Talent. Go south, south again, and take the ladder all the way down to find Turtlez and 285 Unit(s) of Eleth. There is nothing north, so climb back 2 floors and then head through the door south. Go through the west door here for a scene that gets you the Fortress Key and Richard's Belligerent Prince title.

After the scene, grab the Titanium Scabbard from the nearby chest. Leave the area (through the nearby exit), and go south, climb all the way down. Pull the lever here and then head south for Apple Gel x4. Now head back to the lever room, go up 2 floors, and south. You are back to the area with the save. Cross the center area to get to the other side and go south. Pull the lever. Watch the scene and then leave for a fight.

After the scenes, head north and go down the ladder one level, through the east door to reach the ground outside. Head on the middle of the road for a scene. After Cheria joins, go north to enter the tower on the right, which is just before the bridge. Climb up it it one floor. Head south, and enter the Central Tower to the west (where you've seen a scene with Richard). Check near the soldiers for The Price of Violence skit. You can climb up to see a scene with Richard, but if you do, we will not be able to backtrack to Wallbridge ruins and get some items there.

After the scene, head north twice, climb the ladder one floor and leave to the west. You should now be in the courtyard. If you head to the left side of this area you will see that Turtlez has moved and there is a chest with 2100 Gald in it. When ready, head for the north gate for a scene.

After the scenes, enter the upper-right tower before leaving for Barona, climb all the way down where Turlez is, then north to reach a different Wallbridge Ruins entrance.

Wallbridge Ruins

Take the southern blue block, and then a green one to descend. Take the east block to a new platform and then the most eastern block to pop a gold one up. Now take the other northern blue block from this platform back and go west to get the Grape Gel x2. Head back and ascend via the north green block to get 2320 Gald.

Descend and follow the path South, West, Ascend. Take the eastern block to a new platform that will lead to Peach Gel x3.

Now head back to the warp by going East, West, North. Take the western block now and ascend via the green block. Take the southern blue block and follow the path until you see the purple block. Use the nearby blue block to knock it across. Follow the blocks back until you can go east to that purple block you moved. Take the only blue block to eventually reach Holy Bottle x2. Return to the green block and descend to get 255 Unit(s) of Eleth. Head back up (ascend), then reach the northern green block and descend.

Take the northern block now and then ride the nearby green one to ascend. From here, take another northern blue block that will lead to 2160 Gald. Take the southern block to hit a gold one. Return to the platform with the green block now and take the eastern blue block. Follow the blue blocks until you hit the other gold block and then head back towards the first green block and descend to get a Mastery Tonic C. Ascend and take the western blue block and descend via the green one.

Descend via the other green block on this platform, and take the only blue block you can. Take the lower northern block to hit a gold block before taking the eastern block. Follow the path until you hit a green one and ascend. Take the blue block to a Drop Bottle and then backtrack via the green block. Take the north blue block and grab the Eleth Bottle C. Go west and ascend. With all the blocks in place, you can get the Book of Precedence.

Now head back to Wallbridge via the next route: Descend, East, South, West, West, North (upper one), Ascend, South, East, Warp.

Wallbridge

Leave via the north exit from courtayrd (to reach it, go south, up 1 floor, exit through west doors).

South Barona Highroad

Start by visiting the save for the Hard to Justify skit. As you walk toward Barona, talk to every soldier you see for the following items:

Peach Gel x3, Apple Gel x3, All-Divide, Elixir, Life Bottle x3, Hourglass, Panacea Bottle x3

Make sure to grab the skit next to the group of four soldiers called Going Commando? and then head for the Barona Catacombs for a scene. Afterward, view the A Seven-Year Blur skit at the save point.

Barona Catacombs

Head through the stone doorway all the way up, and continue north. The chests have respawned, so go onto the broken bridge and grab the Book of Perfection. Take the lower path first to a Mysterious Liquid and Core Dust before taking the upper path. Grab the Panacea Bottle x2 and take the upper path to 240 Unit(s) of Eleth. Check the stone door here and take the steps down. This leads to where the lower path ends up, so there is no reason to backtrack. Almost directly across from where you come out (a bit up) is another stone door you need to push to get 1800 Gald, the Graves of the Unsung discovery, and the Burial Plans skit. Now continue west to the Secret Passage.

You will need to decide which 4 members you want to be in battle.

Head north and grab the Peach Gel x2 and then go back and head east. Follow the path until you come to a scene. Head north twice to grab the Mastery Tonic C and then go back down one floor and head west. Examine the green vase for the Twin Vases discovery and the Separate Worlds skit. At the save, go south and solve the puzzle to get across the gap. On the other side, exit south to get a Wriggler Crystal and then go back north until you reach another puzzle. Solve it to reach a Book of Suppression. Now, head back to the save and go north.

Castle Interior

Start by heading east and following the red carpet until you can exit west to get Life Bottle x3. Now go back and take that eastern exit we passed. Follow the path until the next split and go east until you reach a Rune Tunic. Now go west, which leads back to the hall we ran through just a minute ago, and continue west. When you reach the save, check the tapestry for the First Flag discovery and Friends Close, Enemies Closer skit. Continue west for a scene and a fight.

Boss: Victoria

Make sure you prepare with a healer because this is a long fight. Distract her from your healer and stagger her as much as you can.

Heading northeast takes you back to the Turtlez, so go ahead and restock if needed. Head west from Victoria and then enter the third room you pass for 315 Unit(s) of Eleth. Now continue west for a skit at the save called Slay the Usurper!.

At this point I would like to encourage you to grind a bit, and maybe farm Paralysis Shards from the soldiers here in the castle. You will need it for the boss trophy soon. It's also a good place to level up and learn some titles/max out them.

When you're ready, head north to the Throne Room.

Boss: Cedric

Make sure to stay away from him whenever he is in Eleth Burst, he can really do some damage with his Mystic Arte. If possible, defeat him before he uses the art, but that is probably impossible as he has high HP. Set your strategy to balanced and have Cheria for healing, she works better than Richard in this fight.

After the fight, enjoy the scenes. When you have control again, exit the room, head west and reenter the Throne Room. After the scene, return back to your party. Now head to the save for the A Touching Moment skit before leaving the castle.

There isn't much new in Barona that you haven't seen before, but make sure you check the Inn for requests and the Eye to Eye skit at the save point. When you're ready, head to Port Barona. Exit the port.

East Lhant Highroad

When you reach the roadside cottage, watch The Orlen Report skit at the save. Go inside and talk to the smiley face man to receive the Windor's Military History and Malik's Silver Hunk title.

This is a good point to travel to all Inn's you can and turn the requests. Level up your titles and learn as much CC+ points from them, and as much new arts you can. It's also not a bad idea to duplicate some rare materials in your Eleth Mixer, plus setting Rice Omellet is a must if you want to max it out as soon as possible. You can grind a bit in Gralesyde Highroad if you want (I did).

Lhant

When you reach Lhant there will be a scene. Afterward, head down to the canal and sneak into Lhant.

Instead of heading straight to the manor, go to Cheria's house and examine the star in her front yard. Plant the two seed types you have now. Head to the manor and save for an upcoming trophy opportunity. It's ok to leave this for NG+ if you didn't activate Grade buffs - Richard is really hard at this point, and beatim him under 60 seconds is a real challenge. I will note some preparation tips and show you how it's done on Easy (no way I could've beat him on Normal or above at this point).

Richard preparation tips:

• Imbue Weapon with Paralysis Effect. Hopefully you have some shards - Richard is weak to Paralysis, so it's advisable to have this on your's and Sophie's weapon
• Fight to temper your paralysis shard: You can also Dualize 2 tempered weapons to get the gem out, and then again insert shard again if you have extra. This way you will raise your weapon and get some Gems that you can equip as accessory.
• Richard fight Setup: Set your Strategy for Sophy to use A arts only or Aggresively - she and Hubert will be in this fight
• Richard fight Mixer Setup: Set some food to raise your critical and physical attack during the fight
• Switch to Easy: I really encourage you to do so - it's a hard fight, especially around level 28

Head into the study and talk to Hubert.

Boss: Richard (Richard in 60 seconds trophy)

With everything prepared as stated above, you will need to remove his barries with some Nova-status Art. Usually that is Lightning Strike. Set Strategy for your allies to use only A arts; to be aggresive and not guard. Keep your CC points and attack when your allies are done with the combo - you want to keep up the combo at all times.

Your aim is to paralyse him, and to keep the combo as much as possible. If he goes into Elec Break, you can stop him using Hourglass to avoid his Mystic Arte. You can still lose couple of seconds on errors, but it's a tight one to be sure. But, it's also very doable.
