Chapter 1 Nohr

Awaken in your quarters in Nohr.

Engage in a conversation with Xander and Leo.

Your first turn begins with a tutorial on movement (2. Moving Units). Press (A) to select your character and move to any highlighted blue square within their movement range.

Move towards Xander to trigger another tutorial (3. Commanding Units). Use commands like “Attack” or “Wait”. Press (B) to return to the starting position.

When a character finishes their turn, their sprite turns gray.

End your first turn. Xander will also end his turn.

On your second turn, access the “System Menu” by hitting (A) on an empty map tile. This menu includes Unit, Guide, Options, Save, and End. The “Left” option counts remaining units.

In the “Units” menu, view and sort unit stats. Selecting a unit recenters the battle map on them.

The “Guide” menu allows you to review unlocked tutorials.

The “Options” menu contains settings for combat animations, display features, volume, subtitles, and voice-over.

The “Save” option allows mid-battle saves.

The “End” option ends your turn without using remaining units.

Move up to Xander and prepare to attack. You will trigger tutorial (8. Combat Forecast), which predicts the outcome of an encounter, showing hit chance and expected damage. Use (X) and (Y) to cycle through weapons during the preview.

Resolve the attack. Xander will summon a Dragon Vein in the tower arena.

A tutorial (15. Healing) explains that standing on Healtiles heals units. Use the “Item” command if you have items.

Stand on the Healtile and select “Wait”.

On the next turn, move back to Xander and attack him again. This should result in both characters being badly wounded and you leveling up for the first time.

On the next round, strike Xander for a third and final time to win the battle.

After the fight, Xander praises you, Leo experiences a wardrobe malfunction, and Camilla and Elise join. You will then meet Lilith.
