Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon entering the eastern side of Laguna Di Gondolia, look to your right for the first Crossbow Target on a rock.
  2. 2
    Continue west along the shore and search behind a rock to find a Sparkly Spot containing a Glass Frit.
  3. 3
    Follow the path southwest to the Camp. The Bodkin Bowyer is here; you'll need to return after hitting five targets. The shop sells Celestial Skeins and Magic Beast Hides, but these are expensive (500G). Rest and save your game.
  4. 4
    Set off northwest into a marshland with small islands. Beware of Muddy Hands, which can call for help.
  5. 5
    Head to the northwest island where a Tree gathering point has a Flurry Feather, Chimera Wing, and a Pink Pine.
  6. 6
    Defeat a Glittering Midnight Horknight to obtain a mount, allowing you to fly over the waters to reach other islands.
  7. 7
    Fly to the small island north of your current location to find a Sparkly Spot with a Celestial Skein.
  8. 8
    Fly to the large eastern island for another Sparkly Spot containing Royal Soil.
  9. 9
    On a small island southwest of your current location, find a chest with a Seed of Skill.
  10. 10
    Exit the swamp by flying west (you'll need to leave the mount). Follow the path to an Ore gathering point with Copper Ore, Iron Ore, and Gold Ore.
  11. 11
    In the larger Central swamp, speak to the Weather Cow. Follow the linear path to the first intersection. You will encounter Weartigers, which hit hard and can recover HP by eating fruit.
  12. 12
    Take the southern path to a Sparkly Spot with Fresh Water. You can also find and mount Midnight Horknights here.
  13. 13
    Fly to the southeast island to find Faerie Fluff.
  14. 14
    Fly to the western of the small islands to find a chest with five Perfectionist Pearls.
  15. 15
    Return to the platforms and go to the central platform. A chest here contains a Mini Medal.
  16. 16
    Take the northeast stairs, then south up more stairs. Look on top of a pole to your right for the second Crossbow Target.
  17. 17
    Return to the chest location and take the western stairs down to the next intersection. Face west to spot the third Crossbow Target hanging from a tree.
  18. 18
    Continue to the northernmost platform and take the east path to a small island with a chest containing the Recipe Book, I Love Iron.
