Rise of the Third Power - Walkthrough

Full guide covering the (nearly) complete game with achievements.
As this was written during the beta, some treasure chests or accessories have been replaced.

Starting your game

Choose your language (English and Japanese).
Now you can set 2 settings already and the whole settings including keyboard a bit later on.
If you are a heavy RPG Maker Games player, I recommend changing those settings to fit better.
Those changes will be shown each time you have to press a key to not disturb you.

Select your difficulty (4 modes) after starting a new game.

Note: If you never change the Expert difficulty you will unlock an achievement!

Note 2: You can search with CTRL+F in the guide!

Chapter 1: From the Jaws of Defeat

Castle of Evenheart, Cirinthia

Tutorial Battle: Taunt the Castle Guard Captain with Rowan and put the Castle Mage to sleep. Refresh the sleep once the CD is down and defeat the Castle Guard first. You have 2 Lesser Healing Potions. They should be enough to survive even on expert mode. Bleeding (Rowan's Slash) can kill the enemy. You will earn 3 Ducats and 16 EXP.

Princess Arielle's room should be on the 2nd floor. You are on the 3rd floor.
Now you can save and look at the quests etc. Crafting and Talents are still locked.

Note Treasure Chests: chest containing items of the Treasure category (Gems, Sundries etc.), have random content and the chance to obtain something with worth will increase the farther you play and might have other entries in this guide.

Items (3rd floor): Gems, 3 Lesser Heals, Revive
Explore the floor.
You can pet various animals (mostly cats and dogs, but even some goats) in this game and most bookshelves have some titles to read.
There are a total of 4 stairs to both sides.
In the east room is an Castle Guard Elite. During this battle Corrine will unlock 2 more skills to break the defenses. First use the sleeping powder and taunt and then break the armor. Remember to apply bleed. Beware when the Elite prepares the Heroic Strike. Counter it with Sleeping Powder to interrupt it (you can interrupt all skills that need prepare time)! You will gain 1 Ducat and 14 EXP.

3 more guards will show up from the most eastern stairs after you have defeated the Elite.
Defeat the Castle Mage, Guard and Knight. You will obtain 3 Ducats, 15 EXP, 2 Lesser Heals and a Bronze Key.

The Talent menu is unlocked with the first level up.
The room with the sleeping guards gets really full now.
With the Bronze Key you can unlock 2 of the 4 doors.

Items (barracks): 2 Lesser Heals x2, Whetstone (after quest), 2 Lesser Heals (after quest)
The barracks are on the 2nd floor via the doors with the bronze locks.
You will trigger an event when you go near the Giant Toad Cleanup Squad.
Commander Stein will give you a side quest to exterminate the remaining Giant Toads in the prison.
There are stairs that will need a Silver Key to unlock.

Items (prison): 3 Lesser Heals
Defeat all Giant Toads. Get rid of the Healer Frogs ASAP or use sleeping powder. The Deadly Frogs are focusing on attack and the Sturdy Frogs on defense.
Beware the Elite Deadly Frog!
You can only enter the cells with the chest.
You will unlock an Achievement when you kill the Healer Frog or Frog with Deadly Blow.

Report the Commander Stein and receive "Book: Novice", Silver Key and unlock Crafing and another Achievement for finishing your first side quest.
You can now fight the 2 Guards on the 3rd floor.
Use the Silver Key to proceed.

Enter the Throne Room.
First head east to the king's chamber and plunder the Volatile Trinket.
Accessories will obtain EXP and get better rewards later.
To the south is the main hall.

The Main Hall is on the 1st floor.
You might not have a change on the lower floors, so stay for now (until you have defeated the weaker guards).
To the sides are the sleeping quarters of the personell.
To the south and the east/west wings are exits you cannot use yet.
Upstairs to to the north (big stairs) are the kitchens with the only awake personell.

Go upstairs the southern stairs and further up to unlock the remaining doors to the 3rd floor.
Try to open the doors here!
Explore the hallway to the side and find the balcony (note to surprise the guards on expert mode or you will miss precious EXP).

Now you have to go downstairs from the main hall.
The Arkadya Guards have 340 HP each and are better encountered with level 3 and a surprise attack! Start with a Deadly Blow of Corrine and Taunt all of Rowan. He should then trink his booze to stay healty (effects stacks trice). Corrine will follow a second Deadly Blow on the same target when possible and put the other one to sleep! With a bit of luck you can beat them.
You will gain 6 Ducats, 52 EXP, Revive and Opportunist's Band.

2 of the door cannot be unlocked yet but you can find 2 Lesser Heals in the middle one (get a glimpse in the room next door).
Enter the basement from the east to trigger the sneak attack!
Enter the south room first and defeat the guards to get a Whetstone.

Unlock the Tempel of the Stars and witness the event (you cannot return for now!).
Take the 3 Lesser Heals, 2 Revives and Battle Prowess and climb the tower. Save!!!

Boss Bell Ringer: Read the tutorial about team combos. Start the battle with said combo and the party will not only deal huge damage but gets healed a bit and got drunk. The Boss will summon Frog Guards as shields. Defeat it ASAP (but don't use the sleeping powder) before the boss buffs himself too much. Depending on your mode you might need revives but the boss will only target the weakest and sleep doesn't effect him. Taunt him ASAP or his Assassin Mode will kill you.
You will gain 21 Ducats, 81 EXP and Warrior Stone I (and should reach level 4).

You take control of Arielle.
Crafting, Character and Talents are locked.
Get changed at the wardrobe and explore the formerly locked rooms.
Witness the event in the room you have put the guards and find the flask!
Talk to the now awake people (even the one on the courtyard of the 3rd floor).

The Main Hall is crowded.
Talk to all and especially the ones with the stars.
Visit the bell tower and the throne room for an event and to find Lord Phillip.

City of Evenheart

Items (south): Gems

Talk to Guillermo in the bank and notice the locked door.
Talk to the Weapon Shop owner to unlock Whetstone and Lesser Heal as ware (but you cannot buy anything yet).
Talk to George in the restaurant and notice the other NPC with an Icon.
Talk to the Merchant next to the clothing shop (don't enter it yet!) and start the "Magical Trinket" side quest. If you postpone the quest, you can still buy it later.
Items (east): Gems

Items (west): 2 Lesser Heal

Talk to the Hauler at the north quarter to proceed with the side quest.
You obtain only 3 Ducats.
Enter the bank (south), talk to the clerk and obtain 5 Ducats.
Return to the castle's throne room and ask the king.
He will give you 2 Ducats.
Return to the city and Phillip will "gift" you the remaining 90 Ducats.
Report to the merchant and obtain the Friendship Ring.

Now enter the cloth shop to proceed the main story.
I recommend selling the gems and buy 1 Whetstone first!

Castle of Evenheart

Talk to your nanny to proceed.
Balance over the plankets. First west, then north and east before the target to reach the Ring of Forgiveness.
Reach the target and proceed.

Talents

You have to learn the skills depending on the skill tree of the character.
Choose wiseley as you share the available points with the party.
First learn the passive of each character.
After Gage joins, spend all Talent points on him, Arielle and Rashim and max out their talents (for more see down).

Costs

After some learnt talent the Talent Points needed to unlock a new talent will increase by one.
The 4th-8th needs 2 TP,
the 9th-10th 3 TP
11th-12th 4 TP
13th-14th 5 TP.

AoE skills

If you have a talent that can attack either one or all targets, the estimated damage/healing for one target will be split to all targets.
The more targets the weaker the skill get and a single hit will be more effective.
Aden's Plaque can stack up to Degen 6 but the enemies DoTs can stack up to 10.

For example: Celestial Flare, level 15 (+ 2 crafted gear) has a single hit damage of 248-303
Damage per target = 248/n - 303/n
n = amount of targets (maximum 8)
Minimum damage per target = 31 - 38

All skills can crit.

Passives

Most of the talents are passives stat increases but each character can learn a unique passive that will be extremely helpful for the adventure.
Try to unlock those talents ASAP.
For example: more money drops, double item drop chance and more.

Due to how many enemies have charging enemies, it may be necessary to max Rowan's Rage passive so he can use Kick more often, or he won't be able to interrupt them in time.

Achievements

If you unlock 10 Talents for 1 character.
At Level 30 unlock "Determinded".

Summons

Aden can summon a 4th party member aka Lesser Demon once. You can use a defeated enemy as sacrifice for 3 turns. Doom is a guaranteed deathblow for non-boss enemies, which makes it ideal for defeating Elite or otherwise high HP foes. Note that the Dark Pact buff doesn't expire until you actually summon the Lesser Demon, so you can hold onto it across multiple battles.

Reviving

The Revive item will restore 50% of the max. HP.
Reyna's Heal will restore app. 15% to a k.o. friend, not depending on AoE or single hit, once you have learned the talent.
So it is better to cast it as an AoE when reviving with Heal.

Reset Talents

At level 40 is the cap and you notice that you can't unlock all talents.
But there are some passive talents you don't need anymore.
Reset the Talent of Rowan, Corrina, Reyna, Aden and Natasha.

But reset them only one at a time as the maximum TP is 99 and all other will vanish.

Max out Arielle, Gage, Rashim and then withouth their passives Reyna, Aden, Rowan, Natasha -
For Rowan, don't learn Speed Up, Vendetta and Swashbuckler's Grace, too.
For Corrina: don't learn Fatal Strikes and Resilience, too.
For Natasha, don't learn Dodge up and Weakening Poison, too.
Use the remaining TP as you see fit.

Crafting

Be careful what you craft first as your materials are limited especially when you unlock the feature.
Crafted Gear will be permamently equipped (you can only change the Accessory at the beginning) and only be crafted once!

Rowan can learn a talent that will increase your earned money in battles and you can find a accessory to increase that amount further soon.
When you have gathered the needed money either in the mines/sewers or later in the haunted cave, return to the mayor. Though if you want to use money efficiently, you may want to wait until you can find the quest item instead.

On this map you can find a Treasure near the eastern exit.

To the south you will exit to a small section of the world map and find the Lucky Trinket (more gold drops) Sparkling Wine in the current release of the game.
To the east you will find a cave with Greater Heal and Knowledge.

Note: Characters not in the active party will recover from exhaustion for a certain percentage per battle. Therefore, you can keep exhaustion for the whole party low by frequently rotating characters.

Chapter 2: Suicide Mission part 3

Fort Defiance

Items: Sundries (difficult to see beneath a tree)
Remember to go south to start the "Missing Acolytes?" side quest.

Templelands, Telindra

Enter the cave and find Mana.

Path to Telindra

The Elite Hive can (as well as the normal one) summon more Poison Flies.
Enter the cave before you challenge the swarm further south and gather some Poison Sac (also heaving Dirty Tricks available will help).
Find the Gems, Second Wind and 2 Revive in the cave.

Boss Swarm of Marchbugs: A combo of Dirty Tricks and Explosive Shot can obliterate them. Note that Poison Sac not only cures poison, it also grants immunity for 5 turns, so use it as your very first move in battle. The Marchbugs' AI only spams poison sting, which deals no damage but inflicts poison that can only be cured by the sacs.

Enter the 2nd cave and find the Battle Prowess.

Templelands - Farm

Items: 3 Greater Heals, Sundries

You have to solve the conflict to proceed.

Boss: Arkadyan Guard Captain, 2 Acolytes, 2 Guards: AoE are the Key. The Acolites can heal their comrades, so defeat them ASAP.

All three are immune to stunned and silence. You cannot win the fight as Viktoriy will cast Ruination, that will even wipe out a level 14 party.

Chapter 3: Ticking Clock

Telindra

Items (3rd floor): Volatile Trinket

You will be fully healed and move Reyna.

The demons can summon Living Bombs, which deal damage when destroyed but deal even more if their charge finishes. Destroy it ASAP and then heal! The Demons can also charge up Ruination (AOE), so if you're having trouble interrupting them, you may want to reload an old save and use Reset Talents on Rowan so you can respec him to generate more Rage.
Once the last Demon is near death, it will summon 5 Living Bombs. This will happen even if you try to kill the demons simultaneously. Once that batch of bombs explode, the battle will end without a reward.

Boss Sabir: She can dispel taunt and other negative states, so refresh it! She can also inflict stun, so make sure Rowan has Tremor Band equipped.

Boss Taku: He will summon 5 Decoys (will reset DoTs), but the decoys will automatically disappear after a few turns, even if you don't try to damage them. You can see at the DoT damage which one is the real one (he never changes his location). The poison of the decoys will stack up to 10 times (?) and the poison 2 of Taku stacks too, so make sure to use Poison Sac so that Reyna doesn't have to spam Dispel every round. Blackhole is not helpful as the decoys still count as bosses. But detonate him once the decoys vanish!
A possible tactic with Rowan, Reyna and Aden:

1. round (boss summons decoys): booze, shield on Rowan and when possible summon Demon (or Drain).
   
2. round: Taunt all, Celestrial Flare (later heal Rowan each turn) on real boss, Plaque all, Curse on real boss with Demon
   
3. round: Pistol/Fury on the real boss, heal Rowan, Plaque all, Slash on real boss with Demon

Go upstairs.

Find 2x Aquamarine and Templar's Ring and go outside.

Boss Kudrin and Templars: You can start with Rashim, Reyna and Aden until the Templars are defeated. Then either swap Rashim for Rowan or better Gage. You will need Tremor Band on all your tanks to avoid being stunned. Drops the Oath of the Templar.

Proceed and clear the map.
In the middle is a building with a sealed chest and to the sides are 2 towers.

West Tower: Touch the orb and then defeat the Ancient Spirit.

Boss Ancient Spirit: it will summon different Tests like Magic Defense and Many (see bestiary). You have to defeat the Tests before you can hit the original boss again. Defeating the Test will damage the Ancient Spirit by half of its max. HP. You will also pass when Gage is still alive during Judgement but then the Ancient Spirit won't get damaged.
When you fail a test, you have do another one and hope you have survived.
Best fight those with Reyna, Aden and Gage. Alternatively, replace Aden with Natasha if you need to Delegate turns or do extra healing.

East Tower: Repeat what you have done in the west tower.
Test of Magic Defense, Physical Defense, and Many are most likely the only tests you can't win with that party on expert.
Test of Pacification: Shield only your taunter! This is the strongest Test of all.
Test of Power: Interrupt Doom (only possible with Rowan's Kick)! Shield will block it!
Test of Control: Interrupting with Gage is possible. Taunt them and shield Gage! Revive him asap!
Test of Healing: Dispel is your main weapon here!

Enter the building in the middle and you see that you only need to pass one more test.

North Tower: Repeat what you have done in the other two towers.

Return to the sealed chest and talk to the Templar Spirit.
Take the Silver Key.

Go back to the cave and unlock the door.

Trepidanos Respawn Enemies is hidden under shops.

Go through the cave.
Talk to the Sages and Trepidanos is in the first left hut.
You can rest in the first right hut.
Try to enter the temple to proceed.

Your group will split to 3 Teams.
Team 1 is Rowan & Corrina. Rowan should wear the Tesla Coil and Corrina a Rouge's Band.
Boss Sparrow and 23 Arkadyan Soldiers: You have to defeat all Arkadyan Soldiers before Sparrow will reveal herself.
As a first turn use Volatile and/or Elemental Fire!
Roland uses Taunt, Slash, Fury and when necessary the Team Ability.
Corrina should either attack the bleeding victims or use Death Blow.
Sparrows debuffs will stop you from using items and lowers your Max HP up to 9 times. These will never wear off.
Each hit will be deadly then.
If you fall, you will stand up again 3x.
Thanks to the Relics and Tesla Coil you will deal damage to all enemies each round.
When you (most likely) fail to defeat all, Rowan will sacrifice himself to Sparrow (even when you win).
If you manage to survive to the last 4 enemies, Sparrow will Assassinate you.

Team 2 is can be chosen of the remaining 6.
Boss Noraskov and Viktoriya: They will summon more Soldiers for battle. As long as Noraskov is protected by a Demonic Shield, you cannot harm him. Noraskov isn't immune to stun or silence effects, but he is immune to instant death. Degen will harm Noraskov, so keep it up and remember to cast dispel before your own Degen stacks too much. Defeat Viktoriya first.

Boss Demonic Viktoriya: Your party is healed (Well, Corrina has a nasty debuff). The Demons Viktoriya summons are not counted as bosses, so Doom of Aden's Demon will work. Viktoriya's Doom should be dispelled ASAP, since it kills the target once it runs out. You can only interrupt the Demons.
If need is use Elemental Spirit to heal the party or Elemental Water to hit the boss hard.
Cast a Shield over the party when Viktoriya prepares her Unleash Fury!

If you have fought all battles at Expert difficulty you will unlock the Achievement "Master Tactican".

Eldritch Horrors

Unlocked in Chapter 6 after your escape from Udingard once you have collected all Relics.

Frozen Forest

Stand between the now lit 4 torches.

Note: Please do that challenge near the end of game.

Boss Asketill: It has 3 turns per round and can petrify. Devour will kill a character doing 9.999 HP damage. Tremor Band is helpful.

Best party is Rowan, Reyna and Aden. A battle of Endurance and many Revives.
It will drop many EXP, but for Expert difficulty I recommend being level 40 already.
You obtain the Sword of Fire (Relic).

Island NW of Jena'an

Boss Gudrun: Can attack between 3 and 6 times (bonus turns). Relatively easy as she only attacks the taunter or causes bleeding.

Best party is Gage, Reyna and Aden. However, Rashim is also a good tanking choice because of his higher physical defense, self-healing, and counterattack.
Drops the Heroine of Thunder (Relic).

Island south of Angelico

Boss Ylva: Likes to bind your partymembers and buffing itself. Binding prevents swapping out, but if you already have an ideal team to fight her, it's basically a wasted turn for her. She poisons and drains the HP of the party. Maul will hit pretty hard when buffed. Keep your Taunt and Degen active, as she can dispel herself. You may want to use Corrina or Natasha to debuff the boss's defense, since it will constantly apply defense buffs to itself.

Best party is Gage, Reyna and Aden.
Drops the Arrows of Ice.

Fort Kahleen

Boss Nerthus: Summons Orb of Power, which is invulnerable to everything except the Demon's Doom skill. The orb can inflict Demonic Blessing, which increases the party's attack at the cost of inflicting DOT damage. The Demonic Blessing is only worth keeping at 1 stack, so either dispel it at 2 stacks or instadeath the orb at 1 stack.

Best party is Rowan, Reyna and Aden. Rowan because of the team ability and his Valor (3 stacks). Keep Degen auf maximum stacks and let Aden either cast blind or use an item in between.
Drops the Soul of a Dark God.

You unlock the "Empyrean Champion" for defeating all Eldritch Horrors.

Epilogue

Enjoy the credits.

Great Combinations for certain Enemy Groups

Once you have unlocked Reyna, you can swap party members before each battle or 3 times per battle.

Why is Rowan anytime in the party?
Because he can taunt! He doesn't have super high physical defense like Rashim or high magic defense like Gage, but he has the most HP.

Reyna unlocked

At least swap her in during boss battles for AoE Healing.

Aden unlocked

Against Humans: Rowan, Corrina and Arielle
Against animals and monsters: Rowan, Reyna and Aden
Boss Battles: Rowan, Reyna and Aden (at least on expert), summon the Demon for help.

Rashim unlocked

Rashim can substitute Rowan. However, his Radiant Explosion removes his Lure stacks, making the rest of the party vulnerable. It may be better to pair him with another tank character to ensure that he can use his strongest move safely.

Natasha

She can substitute Corrina.
A fully new constellation will be a party of Rashim, Aden and Natascha, most effective at Angelico Island.

Gage

His time to shine comes after Rowan is disabled. However, his Taunt duration is shorter and he generates less Rage from taking hits.
He cannot only substitute Rowan and Rashim, but partly even Aden. He can also be paired with Rashim for a more durable party with decent AOE.

Bestiary Chapter 1

The information of enemies I have obtained from the developers are outdated a bit, like enemies of scrapped content. I try to only add mobs that you really encounter.
Also are the loacation names in optional locations not accurate like the Forest of Evenheart lies in the Area of Tarindor if you only look at the mobs.
I won't add the EXP/Ducats or HP to the Bestiary to keep it short and not to reach the character limit of the chapter.
Also the EXP/Ducats are affected by Passives and Accessories.

If you inspect the crack or lack of crack in the Thunder Isle lower floor (where you list 5 differences), it spawns a Treasure Chest with a Force Battery accessory.

Thank you. It's in mountain range east of Jana'an. For Nerthus I used Rowan, Corrina and Reyna. I used Rowan and Reyna's regen, then Rowan 's taunt and Fury. Had Corrina use sleep on orb, Reyna's shield , dispel and heal. I was able to use her 2 group buffs once. She died twice but I had revives. Eventually, I could use Rogue Toss. And my party was level 35.

Fort Kahleed was the formerly empty stronghold in the desert between Ishtala and Nadim.

And yeah, some contents of chests have been changed and random "treasures" are only named as that. Just know that the further you progress the more expensive those treasures get.

In completing the Eldritch horrors, I don't see "Fort Kahleen" on the map. I haven't gone to frozen forest yet, but I have completed the other two. Where is this fort?
Great walkthrough btw!! Some of the treasures have chg'd and there aren't any rubies (I think they have been chg'd to "treasure".)

My strategy for Nerthul was different. I relied on the Demonic Blessing to buff damage. It's a high risk, high reward approach however, so should be handled with caution. My party was Rowan, Corrine and Reyna. What I did was use Rowan and Reyna's combination skill to boost regen and then took advantage of the demonic blessing so that Rowan and Corrine can do heavy damage. When it was inactive I would dispel the blessing.

Best strategy for Nerthul = Rowan, Rayne and Natasha.
Rowan as main DPS with Fury and Aetheric Ring, Rayne as main AoE healer and Natasha dispelling Rayne and herself with First Aid + put Mark if possible.
Demonic Blessing from the orb give DoT and HUGE atk buff. The idea is letting Rowan having as many DB he can withstand while keeping the girls DB low. Aetheric Ring leech works on rage bar too, letting you spam Fury non stop.

No, that is Miss Able as mentioned.

[Mia Ishata]

Oof, i guess i just finish my run and leave without those fights

[Firefly130984]

No condensed list, but you can search with CTRL+F for Relics.
I don't know if some quests are timed but some chests are miss able like the one on the rooftops in Nadim and some dungeons will close with main story progression.

[Mia Ishata]

Im checking this guide midway through, can i still get all those relics when i reached chapter 6 already? And if so, is there a condensed list on where i can find each of them? Its in regarsd to the Eldritch horrors thing
