Panthalassa Junction

Be sure to save your progress at the Motus Monolite at the Panthalassa Junction entrance.

From the entrance of Panthalassa Junction, follow the road southwest. At the very end of this road, you encounter some enemies and a small walkway branching off to the southeast. Follow this walkway all the way up the stairs to Level 2.

Before you head towards the story objective to the west, continue along the route north. At the end, it connects with the northeast section of Level 2 that sits above the entrance of Panthalassa Junction.

After collecting everything from this section of Panthalassa Junction, feel free to continue towards the objective that branches off on the road to the west.

Be sure to activate and save your progress at the Center Motus Monolite before continuing to the next story objective.

At the end of this stretch of road, a cutscene triggers. Jabberwocky stops to explain to your party that this area is known as Panthalassa Junction, a road built by humanity to connect the entire world. The ruins of these roads are all that are now left of humanity.

When the western "highway" road intersects with the next section of the map, continue towards the end of the road until you come across a small walkway along the south side with stairs that lead up to the third level of Panthalassa Junction.

Once you are on the third level, follow the route north and turn around the bend at the top.

At this same intersection with the Search Spot, you have the option to travel northeast or northwest.

Follow the northwest road to continue towards the story objective. Once you reach the next section of "highway" road to the west, you can double back east towards a fishing spot at the east edge of the road.

If you are content with everything you have found in this section of Panthalassa Junction, continue west to the story objective. In the next short cutscene, Aria spots a ferris wheel in the distance. Jabberwocky confirms that this is their next destination.

Before you exit Panthalassa Junction to continue on, be sure to activate and save your progress at the Phantasmagoria Side Motus Monolite.

Once you exit Panthalassa Junction, you emerge onto the Lost Gaia World Map. From this moment on, you can pass through Panthalassa Junction as well as explore the World Map. Head north up the road on the world map and enter Phantasmagoria.

How to Return to Lost Gaia

Now that you have discovered this whole new place called Lost Gaia, you might be wondering, what happens if you go back to your Farm? How will you return to Lost Gaia or any of its locations once you quick travel back to Bird's Eye Brae at the end of your day?

After discovering Abandoned Eden in Chapter 5, if at any point you travel back to your Farm via Motus Monolite (or if you die while in Lost Gaia), a cutscene should trigger after you go to sleep for the night. Aria announces that she is moving into the crystal pod crashed at Lethe's Northern Village Square.

Once this cutscene is triggered, you can interact with the crashed crystal pod beside Lethe on the World Map at any time to instantly travel to a location in Lost Gaia. More locations in Lost Gaia will be added to your fast travel options here as you explore new places on the Lost Gaia World Map.

Phantasmagoria

As you enter Phantasmagoria, Aria appears to recognize the place from her past. Shortly after, a malfunctioning robot appears and scans your group. Before you can react, next a "lost girl" comes running your way. Istina insists that the party takes her with them to try and find the lost girl's parents.

Be sure to activate and save your progress at the Phantasmagoria Entrance Motus Monolite.

• Castle of Memories
• Cruel Automata Boss Fight

I Memory Lane

From the entrance of I Memory Lane, make your way along the path northwest.

From the first set of Treasure Chests blocked by the broken turnstile, head west. Keep following the route and climb the small set of stairs at the end, turning north. Walk down the next set of steps toward a small plaza with a tree at the center to the east.

From here, keep making your way east until you come down a set of stairs and find yourself back at the middle of the map.

When you arrive here, head south up the set of stairs. Straight ahead, you will see a section of broken balcony railing. Interact with it to "Place a plank" and create a shorcut back to the entrance of I Memory Lane. From this plank shortcut, make your way west. You will come across a broken down "teacup" merry-go-ride.

Continue through the teacup merry-go-round and follow the route northeast up the next set of stairs. From here, head west.

Keep going west and you will find yourself back at the middle of the map. Along the southern side of the path you come across a broken bit of balcony with a plank. Interact to "Place a plank" and create another shortcut back towards the entrance of I Memory Lane.

From this shortcut, head north through the circular plaza and turn west. Keep following this route until you come across yet another teacup merry-go-round ride. This one is moving, causes the piles of rubble to occasionally block the exits to the west, north, and east.

Exit the east side of the merry-go-round and continue along the route. When you come across a crumbling wall to the west, use a Bomb to destroy the wall and create a shortcut.

From here, continue north east until you come across another merry-go-round. This one is broken down and immobile, blocking you from continuing north or northwest. To restore power to the merry-go-round, take the the southeast path. Cross the next merry-go-round, and at the end of this route you will find a terminal. Activate the terminal to turn on all the inactive merry-go-rounds.

Head back the way you came and climb aboard the now moving merry-go-round. Once the way is clear, exit to the west or northwest to reach the other side.

As you exit the merry-go-round to the north, you find yourself before the entrance of a hedge maze. To get through this hedge maze in I Memory Lane, you are going to want to first make your way to the small room on the east side of the maze.

From the hedge maze entrance, head left, up, right, down, right, and up. This will bring you to the small courtyard on the eastern edge of the maze with a Gather spot. From this courtyard enter the maze again and turn right, left, take the second right, left, and right one last time to exit the I Memory Lane hedge maze.

Pass through the next circular plaza and continue south until you come across a crumbling wall. Use a Bomb to destroy this wall and create a shortcut.

Double back north and take the first path that goes west. Eventually you will come across a circular plaza with a FEAR enemy along the southern side. Hug the eastern wall as you climb up the stairs to the north. Hug this north wall at the top of the stairs as you make your way to the west exit to avoid engaging with the FEAR.

Continue west, and you find another FEAR enemy guarding the way along the western wall. It will be very difficult to exit this area to the southwest without triggering the FEAR enemy. If you are not high enough in level to take this FEAR on, consider sprinting through the area. FEAR enemies can only travel a certain distance before they reset back to their original position.

Along the walkway to the south of the FEAR enemy, you can find a broken turnstile blocking a path east. You need a Repair Kit Lv 2 in order to repair the broken door here.

Continue south, and you come across another plaza, this time with two FEAR enemies directly blocking the way, guarding either side of the path south. To make your way onward, you will either need to defeat both FEAR or sprint past them to avoid their attacks until they cease to follow you.

As you pass the circular plaza past the FEAR enemies filled with rubble, you can find a crumbling wall along the path east that can be destroying using a Bomb to create a shortcut.

Continue west, crossing over another moving merry-go-round. On the far west side of the merry-go-round you will find the story objective and pass into section II Calls of a Lost Child in Phantasmagoria.

II Calls of a Lost Child

As cross the border into II Calls of a Lost Child, a cutscene begins. The party discusses how the lost girl might have gotten here, when all other humans are long gone. Aria appears to know or suspect something more about the current sitatuon than she is currently letting on.

III Dream Terminus

Be sure to activate and save your progress at the III Dream Terminus Motus Monolite.

From the entrance of III Dream Terminus, follow the path north. The paths north and east are cut off by a line of rubble on the merry-go-round ahead. Take the west route instead.

As you go along, you will come across a FEAR enemy standing at the center of a circular plaza. If you are too underleveled to take on this FEAR with your party, you may need to sprint past this FEAR and the two in the next plaza to the northwest.

Turn down the route east and you come across another merry-go-round. A broken bridge sits atop the merry-go-round, currently immobile. From here make your way east, and turn north as you come upon a set of stairs. Turn left at the top of the stairs and head west.

On the top left corner of this walkway, you can find a crumbling wall, but it cannot be destroyed from this side. Interact with the terminal across from this wall and activate it. The merry-go-round on the level below will start moving, as will the platforms suspended above it, allowing you to pass over the merry-go-round to the other side.

Once across the merry-go-round, continue south until you come across another moving merry-go-round, split down the middle with a pile of rubble. Exit the east side of this merry-go-round to continue.

Keep following this route east and you will come across another hedge maze. To navigate through the III Dream Terminus hedge maze, turn right as you enter. Turn left and you come across an immobile merry-go-round. From the merry-go-round, move south. Turn right, and then take the first left to find a terminal.

Activate this terminal to get the hedge maze merry-go-round moving again. Retrace your steps once its active.

Back at the now moving merry-go-round, climb onto the platform. Get off on the north side. Head back into the maze and turn right. You will see the exit to your next left, but before you exit the maze, continue straight. Take a small right and a left to find a small plaza with some Gather Spots.

When you are ready, retrace your steps to exit the hedge maze on the north side and continue along the at route.

Head west, and you will come across a rectangular plaza with a FEAR enemy. Hug the northern wall to try and avoid fighting it if you are not a high enough level.

The next plaza over to the west has three FEAR enemies, two to the south and one north. You can attempt to thread the needle and pass directly between them, but if you are lower in level, chances are you will still trigger their aggression. You can choose to fight all three FEAR enemies or sprint passed them all.

On the stairs to the west of this plaza with three FEAR enemies, the northern wall is crumbling and can be destroyed using a Bomb to create a shortcut back south.

Keep following this same route as it takes you north. You will come across two more merry-go-rounds.

Exit the merry-go-round on the west side and keep your distance from the FEAR blocking the south exit. Follow the path south from here as it loops around. You will come across yet another merry-go-round, this one with a moving platform spanning across it.

Proceed up the path north until you come across a merry-go-round with two FEAR enemies. Hug the north side of the platform and you should be able to avoid drawing either of their aggression. Keep moving north and will come across a set of stairs with the next story object sitting just before it.

A cutscene follows in which Tap to Reveal. Follow the robot up the stairs to the north and into the Castle of Memories.

Castle of Memories

Be sure to activate and save your progress at the Castle of Memories Motus Monolite.

Continue up the stairs to climb the Castle of Memories and enter the Cruel Automata boss fight.

Cruel Automata Boss Fight Guide

Cruel Automata is weak to Slashing, Crushing, Lightning, and Sage damage. Aria, Dianthus, and Shrika are all useful in this fight because of this, as is your default Fighter job class.

After defeating the Cruel Automata, you are returned to the Lost Gaia World Map. Continue west through the World Map from Phantasmagoria to the Astrum Helix Research Facility.

Astrum Helix Research Facility

Jabberwocky leads your party to the ruins of the Astrum Helix Research Facility. Aria recognizes this as the research facility she belonged to with her parents. Jabberwocky is uncertain what happened to the facility, but suggests that there might be data logs somewhere within Astrum Helix that could reveal more information.

• I Planetary Life Tower
• II Infant Research Lab
• III Seraph Memorial Garden
• V Where Paradise Hatches
• Macrophage Boss Fight

I Planetary Life Tower

From the entrance of I Planetary Life Tower, head southeast. You can find an elevator at the end of this path, but currently there are no floors you can travel to. As you progress through all eight levels of I Planetary Life Tower, you can use this elevator to travel between them.

Head up the escalator and go around the giant red crystal formation to climb up the stairs to Level 2 of I Planetary Life Tower. Continue through the rooms southwest.

Continue southwest until you come across a big glass-covered escaltor. Head up this escalator to the center of Level 2.

From the triangle-shaped platform, take the path northwest and follow the route until you climb the stairs up to Level 3. Be sure to unlock the elevator at the start of Level 3 so that you can travel to this floor via the elevator later.

Climb up the next escalator across from the elevator to Level 4. Directly across from the top of this escalator, you can see a Treasure Chest. However, the ground will crumble beneath if your feet if attempt to cross, dropping you onto an isolated section of Level 3.

After falling through the crumbling bridge, walk up the northwest stairs to re-enter Level 4. As you approach the terminal across from the stairs, a cutscene will trigger as Jabberwocky uncovers a data log, revealing more info about the Red Queen.

From this hologram platform, head northeast and make your way through the abandoned offices.

Exit these offices and continue south until you come across another set of stairs along the western side of the platform. Climb these to Level 5.

On Level 5, you will encounter a smaller set of stairs leading down to a separate section of Level 4. If you continue through the offices southwest, mind the spots of broken floor. Stepping on a piece of broken floor will drop you to that same level below. Follow the route to the stairs on the west side to proceed up to Level 6.

On Level 6, you can choose to go up the north or south stairs, but both lead to the same platform on Level 7.

From the starting platform at the center of Level 7, head south and then turn northeast to follow the path up to Level 8. From here, you can choose to take the stairs to the north back down to Level 7, or instead head southeast towards the elevator.

Be sure to activate the elevator by interacting with the terminal beside it so you can travel back here later.

Across from the elevator on Level 8 of I Planetary Life Tower, just before the entrance to II Infant Research Lab, you can find a small set of stairs. These bring you back down to a section of Level 7 with a door that can only be accessed using a Repair Kit Lv 2

Enter the room in the southeast corner of this area to find the next story objective in II Infant Research Lab.

II Infant Research Lab

As you enter the room in the southeast corner of Level 8, a cutscene triggers. Another data log is uncovered, potentially revealing major information about Tap to Reveal.

This room serves as an in-between point from Level 8 of I Planetary Life Tower and III Seraph Memorial Garden. If you are ready, you can choose to head out the north exit to III Seraph Memorial Garden.

III Seraph Memorial Garden

Be sure to activate and save your progress at the Motus Monolite at the entrance of III Seraph Memorial Garden.

Head to the center platform with the giant red crystal formation.

From this platform, proceed up all the stairs to Level 2 of III Seraph Memorial Garden. As you step onto the center of the first platform on Level 2, the floor crumbles beneath you and you fall back to Level 1. This time, you are on a platform cut off from the starting Level 1 platform.

Continue up the ramps from here all the way to Level 3. From here, you can use the south ramp to head back down to Level 1 or 2. Otherwise, continue west up the escalator. You wil encounter a FEAR enemy to the southwest at the top of the elevator. Defeat it or head north, making your way around the edge of the level until you enter a room filled with red crystal growths.

Avoid stepping on the red areas around these crystal growths whenever possible. Each second you are in contact with the red crystal growths, you start taking damage over time. There are some areas ahead that force you to walk across the red crystal floor, and you can use your sprint to cross them quickly without taking too much damage.

After fighting your way through the two northern rooms filled with red crystal growths, head up the escalator on the east side to Level 4.

Continue southwest through the abandoned offices. You can see a Treasure Chest inside the first room behind a row of desk and lab furniture, but you cannot reach it from Level 4 at this moment. In the southwest corner of Level 4, interact to activate the elevator so you can travel back to this level from the start of III Seraph Memorial Garden.

From the elevator on Level 4, continue up the next escalator to Level 5. In the center platform of Level 5, you will encounter a FEAR enemy. You can choose to fight it, or try to avoid it by hugging the eastern wall as you skirt around the edge of the room to the northwest bridge. Head to the northernmost corner of Level 5 to discover the next story objective.

In this next cutscene found on Level 5, Tap to Reveal.

From this office, continue southwest through the next set of offices, filled with red crystal growths. Head all the way to the last office in the southwest corner, filled with red crystal flooring. Cross over the red crystal flooring to the south side of the room and walk through the door leading northeast. Step on the section of broken floor just before the next door to fall through to Floor 4 below.

To return back to Level 5, interact with the terminal beside the locked door and make your way west along the Level 4 platform back to the escalator across from the elevator. Cross directly over the red crystal flooring to the door in the southwest corner this time to reach the escalator leading up to Level 6.

From here, proceed up the next escalator to the center platform of Level 6, then up the next east escalator to Level 7.

To the northeast, you can find a locked door that cannot be opened without a card key. To the southeast, you have two routes to explore. The balcony to the right leads to a smaller escalator that brings you back down to a room of Level 6 completely filled with red crystal flooring. The door in the southeast corner leads you through a series of offices with crumbling patches of floor. Stepping on a patch of broken flooring will drop you to the Level 6 room below.

Proceed through these Level 7 offices, and on the other side you will find another elevator. Interact with the elevator to activate it so you can travel here later.

Continue up the escalator across from the elevator to Level 8. In the center platform, you encounter giant Gugalanna monster. After defeating it, head west up the stairs, and south along the platform to the next story objective.

In the next story objective cutscene, Tap to Reveal

Once the cutscene has ended, proceed through the door to enter V Where Paradise Hatches.

V Where Paradise Hatches

Be sure to activate and save your progress at the Motus Monolite at the entrance of V Where Paradise Hatches.

There are two paths branching from the entrance of V Where Paradise Hatches, one that leads to a Treasure Chest and another that leads up to the next level.

Once you are ready to proceed, you can head directly north from the entrance. Ahead you will see an area of red crystal growths. Cross this area by running over the patches of rubble to avoid taking damage from the red crystal flooring.

Follow the path to the northernmost room. Climb up the rubble ramp to Level 2.

Beyond this room you will find an escalator leading up to Level 3, and a small stairway to the southwest that leads back down to Level 1.

Once you are done investigating here, continue up the escalator to the south to explore Level 3. The next room has pools of red crystal growths and a large Gugalanna enemy inside. Defeat it to make your way to the other side, where you will find the elevator. Be sure to activate the elevator so you can travel to this floor from the entrance of V Where Paradise Hatches.

Once the elevator is unlocked, head up the escalator to Level 4. In this large center platform, there are two FEAR enemies to the west and southeast, and a pool of red crystal flooring in middle of the area.

Head up the northwest escalator to reach Level 5.

Cross over the red crystal flooring in the first room of Level 5.

Go through the northernmost door of this first room of Level 5, making sure to sprint across the red crystall flooring to avoid taking too much damage. Head through the next northmost door and continue onward to exit this series of rooms. Ahead to the southeast you will discover another escalator, this one bringing you to Level 6.

Level 6 is made up primarily of one giant, triangular platform covered in red crystal flooring with a large Gugalanna enemy at the center. To defeat the Gugalanna enemy without taking too much damage from the flooring, try standing in the northwest corner where there a patch of floor with no red crystal. Otherwise, continue up the stairs to the southwest to proceed to Level 7.

Head up the escalator on Level 7 and follow this western platform. You will find two paths that branch off to the east: one narrow path that leads to a large room filled with red crystal flooring and FEAR enemies, and an escalator to Level 8.

Once you have collected the Treasure Chest and Conellu Doll, you can head up the escalator to Level 9.

Proceed to the second room beyond this door and head southwest to the center platform. Defeat the enemies here to continue up the southwest escalator to Level 10.

Directly across from the escalator on Level 10, you will find another elevator. Be sure to activate the elevator so that you can travel back this level from the entrance of V Where Paradise Hatches.

To the east of the Level 10 elevator, you have two paths to choose from: a narrow staircase that leads back down to Level 9 below, or another path through a southern door that leads you through a set of offices.

If you choose to take the narrow staircase, it will lead you down all the way to a large room filled with red crystal flooring and some Harvest Spots, isolated from the rest of Level 8.

Head through the south door, and in the second room you will find a ramp made of rubble that leads up to Level 11.

How do you get to Level 12, the top floor of Astrum Helix Research Facility? To reach Level 12, you first need to climb the rubble ramp to Level 11. Head into the last room where two enemies spawn, and loop around the barrier of office furniture, going back past the rubble entrance on the northwest side.

In the last room, hop down through this large crack in the floor along the southeastern wall. You will land in a separate section of Level 10 below, with two more enemies.

From this isolated room of Level 10, step on the section of crumbling floor to drop down onto Level 9 below. Now you find yourself in an isolated room filled with red crystal flooring and crumbling floor. Head out the southwest door of this room. Sprint across the red crystal flooring to the other side of the room, careful to avoid the crumbling floor to either side of you.

You will find a broken door on the other side of the room, which will require a Repair Kit Lv 2 in order to create a shortcut to this room on Level 9.

Step out onto the balcony to the north of this broken door, and continue along the narrow path of escalators that will lead you all the way up to the northern, isolated half of Level 11.

Proceed past the terminal and the enemies on the Level 11 to platform, and head up the escalator to the north to reach level 12. Two giant Gugalanna enemies block your path through Level 12. Once defeated, you can climb up the west elevator.

Nearby this Treasure Chest, you will also find an elevator. Be sure to activate the elevator on Level 12 so that you travel back here directly from the entrance of V Where Paradise Hatches later.

When you are ready, head through the door on Level 12 to enter the Summit and begin the Microphage boss fight.

Be sure to activate and save your progress at the Motus Monolite at the entrance of the Summit.

Macrophage Boss Fight Guide

At the top of the Summit, you will encounter the next boss: Macrophage. Macrophage is weak to the following damage types:

• Crushing
• Earth
• Lightning
• Sage

This makes Aria and Dianthus create picks for your party, as would the Assault Savant or Lunamancer Job Classes.

When Macrophage's ultimate attack begins, an orange bar will appear beneath the boss health bar. Deplete the orange bar by attacking Macrophage before the ultimate attack goes off to avoid being hit by its most powerful move.

After Macrophage is defeated, Geist reveals a crucial piece of information to Aria... Tap to Reveal

Dianthus invites your party to Orbital Cradle to learn more of the truth, instructing you to return to the original planet and head back to the Castle of Illusion.
