Archstone of the Small King (1-1 to 1-4)

The Archstone of the Small King leads to the Boletarian Palace, also known as World 1-1 or the Gates of Boletaria in the Remake. Upon interacting with this Archstone from The Nexus, a cutscene featuring a Red Dragon plays before players regain control. This area is the starting point for the game's progression.

The Boletarian Palace features several explorable areas:

  • The Gates of Boletaria
  • The Lord's Path
  • The Inner Ward
  • The King's Tower

A recommended progression route involves:

  1. Touching the Archstone of the Small King and warping to the Boletarian Palace.
  2. Touching the Archstone of the Small King and warping to the Phalanx Archstone.
  3. Returning to The Nexus, then touching the Archstone of the Small King and warping to the Tower Knight Archstone.
  4. Returning to The Nexus, then touching the Archstone of the Small King.
