Sanchi Verde

Wardstone Conveyour Room
The party splits in Madilyn and Winter (west side) as well as Auryn and Davos (east side).
Solution is mostly quoted from the developer with additional findings from me.

1. First, have Auryn's group ride the lower belt to switch 2. This can be hit now.
   
2. Have Madilyn's group ride their lower belt to switch 1. Hit it. This will allow Auryn to traverse backwards.
   
3. Switch to Auryn's group and go down, then right.
   
4. Switch back to Madilyn's group and hit the same switch (switch 1) again.
   
5. Switch back to Auryn's group and proceed to the right to switch 3. Hit switch 3.
   
6. (Optional) Have Auryn's group look at the Clock, ride the conveyor north to get the chest with the Radiant Plate and check the hole in the wall. Switch back to Madilyn's group to hit switch 1 again to allow him to backtrack.
   
7. Madilyn will need to again hit switch 1 to allow Auryn to go left (if she didn't already hit it for the chest) and then up.
   
8. Have Auryn's group navigate left, then up (as stated above) to switch 5. This switch is optional, and will allow Madilyn to access a chest in the upper left corner of the map. Whether or not you hit the switch, jump in the pipe to emerge back in the center.
   
9. Continuing with Auryn's group, ride the upper belt (highlighted in red) to the intersection.
   Switching back to Madilyn's group, finally head north.
   
10. (Optional) If Auryn hit switch 5, she can ride the belt to the optional chest with Radiant Staff and then hit the switch to return.
    
11. Have Madilyn's group hit switch 4.
    
12. Back on Auryn's group, they should be able to proceed on the belt north that will take them to switch B. Hit this switch and go through the pipe to emerge in the center once again.
    
13. Finally, with Madilyn's group head north on the orange highlighted belt to switch A. Hit it and take the pipe back to the center.
    
14. With both switches A and B hit, the center conveyor will be reversed and the party will be able to proceed.

Proceed until you drop through the floor.

Catacombs 1:
Each misstep hurts a bit.
First push the minecart with the crystal a bit to the right so that is lightens up.
Cross again and push the crate onto the plate.
Push the first minecart fully up and cross over.

Catacombs 2
Again, here is the solution quoted from the developer, included some treasure names from me.

1. Push crystal 1 into the light to see the path to the right. You may want to move it up or down a couple times to see the full path.
   
2. Go right and push the block onto the pressure plate. This will open a path to the south.
   
3. Move crystal 1 out of the way, allowing light to travel through the newly opened passage.
   
4. Moving south, align crystal 2 to intersect the light, which will in turn hit crystal 3, sending light southward.
   
5. The left side can be moved down freely to "scout" the path as you adjust crystal 3, but in the end you need to move it all the way to the right.
   
6. Go south and you will see the light has intersected with a green crystal. Green crystals will split the light into 2 new paths, rather than 1.
   
7. (Optional) You can move crystal 4 up and down to "scout" the path to the left. Doing so will allow you to navigate to a hidden chest with a Magical Plate.
   
8. Align crystal 4 to intersect crystal 5.
   
9. This area is a bit trickier, as there is no path to fully scout ahead. The player can slide crystal 5 around and progress a bit, map out what they can see, then move back to readjust the crystal. Ultimately, the crystal needs to be pushed all the way to the right.
   
10. Moving up the path, ensure crystal 6 intersects with the light. This will send the light into crystal 7 and split it in two paths.
    
11. Move forward to crystal 8 and adjust the position into the top left corner. This will send light downward.
    
12. Travel south to crystal 9 and adjust it into the top right position. This will send light to the left and allow you to see to reach the next crystal. Be mindful of the edges.
    
13. Move left to crystal 10 and intersect it with the light. Your next stop will be crystal 11. To intersect properly, crystal 10 needs to be in the bottom left corner, but you can side it up and down a bit to map out the path first.
    
14. Moving to crystal 11, put it in the top left corner position. This will send light downward.
    
15. Backtrack towards crystal 9 and move along the path to the right to crystal 12. Be mindful of the edge here and slide crystal 12 into the top right position. This sends light to the left.
    
16. Carefully move to the left to reach crystal 13. Slide it into the bottom right position, which should send light downward.
    
17. Travel south to the final crystal. Slide crystal 14 all the way to the left to intersect the light beam. You can move it freely up and down to scout the path ahead. Reach the ladder to escape the catacombs.

You are back at the City Foundation.

1. From here, head north. The City Foundation has a series of ladders leading to underground paths. From this point there are two ways you can take.
   
2. (Optional) Path B will take you to an area with a few items like Cherub Down and 2000 Gold, a Clock and a lost girl. You can choose to take the girl Winefred with you to help guide her out of the dungeon. Note success or failure doesn't matter if the girl becomes knocked out. In combat she is mostly useless. Although she can be used to an effective degree to use items such as potions on party members, or molotov cocktails on enemies.
   
3. If you took path B, backtrack. In front of Path C are 2000 Gold in a barrel. Take path C to the north and collect Hi-Potion, Mana Potion and 2000 Gold x2 (barrel to the north & barrel south of fake wall).
   
4. (Optional) To the northeast of here, you can take path D to reach a chest with the Ruby Earrings.
   
5. The way forward is obscured by a false wall. However, light shines through it, as well as a carpet, giving the player a hint that the wall is passable. Navigate to section E, look at the clock there, and take the passage at path F to the north.
   
6. From here, simply go right, gather Icetongue and take path G to the right.
   
7. The exit is locked. To progress from here, head right to the next area.

During the trial, depending on your choices about Winefred, or if you have tried to cross the Ishtar Blockade in the Desert, everything will be judged.
Like saved Winefred = innocent
Ishtar Blockade = guilty
Killing the guard in the jailbreak = guilty
Saved and helped Cid in the LEGION Camp or with the Airship = innocent

Chapter 4: The Parts we cast away Part 4

Ivalice

The Summit is starting.
You can choose a side or neither (my recommendation).
At the point of the Aid Package, best side with Amoria.
Next the LEGION Book will make an appearance (if you have taken it with you earlier)

Note: The better the negotiation goes, the better their help later.
Like 2 less encounters for both the slums (Amoria) and noble district (Ishtar) and in the center (Buyer's Contract) in Ivalice.
Also some more troops will appear from both factions and some banter between General van Hausen and Alexander.

Winter returns to the party, Sarah is in her room and Davos is in the Prison.
Talk to Davos in the Prison.
Talk to Sarah and meet her in the Prison later.
The party is complete with two extras, Rex and Sarah.
Leave the prison and observe the guards.
Watch their movement don't be seen.
The path over the right side is easier and it is possible to go there unnoticed.
Enter the door next to the stairs.

Sarah will unlock the City Foundation.
(Last chance to look at the 2 Clocks down there).
Enter the storage where Cid and his Airship wait.

Airship

You can rest for free under deck and shop at a normal East Ishtar Trading Company kiosk (no unique items)
Find 3000 Gold and a note at the statue.
Find a Diamond Dagger in the engine room, where Rex is working hard.
Talk to Cid on deck to start your adventure and grant the ship a name (in my case The Firefly).

Temple of the Source

Cid, Rex and Sarah stay on the Airship.
Equip Deathless Rings and enter the Antechamber.

Items (Antechamber): Diamond Staff
Mobs: Living Armor Soldier (Living Metal), Living Armor Captain (Living Metal), Demi (Hi-Potion, Half Full Glass), Storm Guardian (Ancient Elemental Essence, Mana Potion), Fire Guardian (Ancient Elemental Essence, Mana Potion), Living Statue (Elixir), Ice Guardian (Ancient Elemental Essence, Mana Potion), Earth Guardian (Ancient Elemental Essence, Mana Potion)

The Earth Guardian is special, it is highly resistant to all elements but weak to the Runic Blade and Diamond Weapons! Poison will heal it.

Check the statues, some will attack you.
The riddle solution will be quoted from the developer again.

The Antechamber of the Source contains a riddle in which the players are expected to examine 3 colored statues. The statues make statements. A tablet in the central northern area explains that one statue always tells the truth, one statue always lies and one can do either.

Based on this information, the players have to determine which colored statues are which.
To paraphrase:

The Paladin always tells the truth
The Illusionist can tell a truth or a false
The Assassin always lies
The statues individual statements are as follows:
Green Statue: I AM THE ILLUSIONIST
Red Statue: BLUE SPEAKS TRUTH
Blue Statue: I AM THE PALADIN

Based on this information, you will need to sus out who is who. 3 colored switches are on the northern wall and are used to set who the player thinks is who. When you feel you have set the switches correctly, test it with the yellow switch on the far right. If you are correct, the path forward will open.

SOLUTION
Blue is the Paladin, he has told the truth. Red is the Illusionist, but has chosen to tell the truth. This leave Green as the Assassin.
Explanation: If we assume blue is the paladin as they claim, red cannot be the assassin or else they would lie about blue. That only leaves the illusionist. It also means green has lied, making them the assassin.
If we assume blue is the assassin, red could possibly be the illusionist. But that only leaves green to be the paladin, and they claim to be the illusionist. So that combination is invalid.
Finally if we assume blue is the illusionist, red could possibly be the assassin and covering for blue's lie. They can't be paladin because blue would have lied. But once again, green claims illusionist. Nobody claims paladin. So this combination is also invalid.

Try to enter the gate to the Source...

Items (Exterior): Diamond Plate (after the last Guardian)

The first guardian is right around the corner.

Boss Guardian Dragon: weak to thunder or burst. Drops: Dragon Scale, 5000 Gold, Hi-Mana Potion.

Read the mural.
After your first confrontation with the source, let Madilyn talk to the others.
Talk to the source again to proceed.

Boss Demon Madilyn: Her first attack will lower the MP of the party to 1 and Winter will use one Hi-Potion on Hiro. Weak to holy, so Enhance + Dualcast + Holy is app. 5000 HP damage. After some damage Madilyn will cast Aura II on the party (at 66% and 33 % of her Max HP).
Drops 2000 Gold, Hi-Potion, Cherub Down

The direct path is blocked.
To the west is a teleporter crystal to 2F.
And to the east is a teleporter crystal to 3F.

At 3F you can directly reach one of the Barrier Energy Cores that will deplete Madilyn's MP to shut down.
Use the other teleporter, collect the Bromide and go downstairs to 1F and use the NE teleporter to 2F.
You come across the first destroyed barrier and the next Energy Core which depletes the HP of Winter.
Enter the balcony of F2 and find a Shell Ring and the next Energy Core which depletes the MP of Davos in the west and a Demonscale Cloak and the next Energy Core which depletes the HP of Hiro.

Chapter 5: The Irresistible Force Part 2

The Realm of Bahamut

Mobs: only the Chaos Demons will appear.

Touch the blue crystals to teleport.
Press the orb to reveal more stairs and proceed on that side.
The northern teleporter brings you to a hopping chest.
Release Nubtip and obtain a new party member and unlock the Achievement "Confined Spaces".
Return and take the new stairs to the next teleporter.
First get the Ring of Ultimate Focus at the west, then use the next teleporter.

Take the Apocalypse Blade, press the orb and take the teleporter further west to reach Madilyn's Bromide 5 and Vampyr Spear.

Proceed from there.

Save before you climb the stairs with the Gargoyle Decor.
You lose Nubtip...

Boss Bahamut: Gaia Shell is a must have buff. Weak to holy, so enchant + dualcast + Starlight will deal much damage. He can drain the MP of the party, so replenish them with Elixirs once fully depleted.

Ivalice

Note: Remember my notes during the summit?
Those take effect now!

Quest: Help secure the Slums by defeating 4 groups of Demons (Including the random encounters).

Last he lands on the church in the Central District.

Boss Bahamut: without the holy element and Gaia Shell you have to depend on your skills. Combos of Thorn and Thunder Strike or Quadslash as well as Provoke, so his single hit skills will more likely hit Hiro and not Sarah, who should heal each turn! He has no drops as Gaia Blast will end this round.

All allied Kingdoms will unite and finally Madilyn and Davos appear and revive the others.
With your main party confront Bahamut again.

Boss Bahamut: After her transformation heal once and then cast Gaia Shell. Then use the Thorn + Quadraslash, Provoke + Inner Focus + Thunder Strike, Enhance + Dualcast + Starlight again. Madilyn pends between Aura III / Gaia Shell / Starlight.

Some turns after the 2nd Gaia Blast Winter appears. Once the 3rd time Darkness is formed, Davos appears. After the 4th Gaia Blast a new skill will appear: LEGION as One, which deals high damage and applies several debuffs. But it is still possible to win before the next Gaia Blast.

[Firefly130984]

But it does that, you just have to fulfill the last step of each missed side quest.

[Euphoniac]

The "post-game" should enable you to complete any side quests that you've failed to complete during your playthrough.

[高科技喷喷]

i miss the quest “The Silver Swordman”，what a pity！

[Firefly130984]

First you can search in the guides with CTRL + F, second, defeat the Behemoths.

[Juery]

Where can I farm the conservation codex?

[Skullord]

Thank you for the guide. Has been insanely helpful for navigating and dealing with the absurd spawn rate in some areas, as well as all the missables. And I never would have kept checking the clocks if you hadn't mentioned them.

1 missing item I noticed though.
- In Ch3 Mysterious Cave, you missed an Antivenom Ring. There's a fork in the path halfway through, left was progression and right had a dead end with a corpse on the far wall that you could loot for the ring. Though I honestly never used it anyway.

[Firefly130984]

Thanks for your kind words. I will see how far I come each day.

[Azudeus]

Thanks for the guide! Really helpful especially on the early game where there are so many missable quest. I'm able to 100% completion on 1 run
