Chapter 1 introduces Ragnar McRyan, a valiant knight of Burland, tasked with investigating the mysterious disappearances of children from the nearby village of Izmit. This chapter serves as an excellent introduction to basic combat and exploration. Ragnar is a strong physical attacker, so focus on equipping him with the best available weapons and armor. You'll primarily be fighting Slimes, Drackies, and other low-level monsters. Ensure you grind a few levels before heading into the first dungeon.
Your initial goal is to gather information in Burland and Izmit. Talk to everyone, especially the parents of the missing children. You'll learn about a monster that might be responsible. Stock up on Medicinal Herbs, as Ragnar doesn't have healing spells. The chapter is relatively linear, guiding you from town to dungeon. check barrels and pots for hidden items!
