a couple of questions

[Mikasa Ackerman]

i decided to finish the game now , im currently before the malboro fight , and simply too weak ,
so i went back to the open world to finish it , first of all , how do i complete the bases , i see them as purple flags but i cant do anything

next , where do i find all tombs or are they gone after the fight with leviathian ? i only got the ones the game forced me to get

then , i barely did anything useful on the skilltree , what abilities on what tree should i unlock

is the aranea glitch patched in the windows edition ? i heard about that on the cosole version but cant find any info if it works on pc

and lastly , after i beat marlboro , is there any part in the game where i need to have a certain item or equipment, i heard the game becomes linear like 13 in the end , and i want to be prepared because unlikke 13 , in 15 the linear part comes at the end , while in 13 it came in the first half of the game

Its hard to tell the location of the tomb with word. Just go to google.com and you get the visual location which is easier

-Bases: There's only 1 sidequest involving stomping an Imperial base. It's called "Formouth Garrison" (Level 46). The rest are done through the main quests. However, you can return to these bases later to explore, they have some items that are worth picking up (For ex: you can pick up "Strange Engine" to upgrade your Regalia to Type-F, also there're some Omega files). And what do you mean by "you can't do anything"? Just step inside & wipe them all out.

-Tombs: There're 12 tombs in total scatter across the kingdom of Lucis (Including the Pitioss Ruins), 8 of them have "Menace Beneath Lucis" dungeons. If you wanna know their exact location just look it up here: https://finalfantasyxv.wiki.fextralife.com/Royal+Tombs

-Skills: This depends on how you want to develop your characters & how you play the game (ATB or Wait mode). The important ones are: Combat (For Noct), Techniques (For the bros), Teamwork (For Link Strikes & Blind Side), Stats, Recovery, Armiger. Keep farming for as much AP as possible cause some of the skills require a lot of AP (For ex: 333, 555, 999 AP and there's even several of them to unlock).

-Aranea: I still haven't tried acquiring her as the 5th member yet. But if you're interested, follow the steps in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsxoFeqT1vA

-Lastly: The linear part of the game starts from chapter 10 (After you board the train). From then on, there will be no coming back. So if you want to finish sidequests, grab some items, find datalogs you better do it before progressing the main quest. Because once you board the train again, it will be a "one way ticket" up until you hit chapter 14, you can't go back to do those later.
