Village of Eda

Defeat mechs at the Village of Eda gate in Star Ocean: The Divine Force to earn the Some Kind of Welcome Trophy/Achievement.

As you approach the village gate, a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (a non-interactive story sequence) will play and you will enter battle with a group of mechs.

The Midas Touch

Midas is a semiomancer (a caster specializing in offensive spells). He already knows Fire Bolt - Final Chant, Wind Blade and Earth Glaive. His Skill Tree groups fire skills in the lower left, ice skills in the lower right, earth skills in the upper left and wind skills in the upper right. Near the starting point in the center of his Skill Tree, you can learn an attack spell for each of the four elements (Fire Bolt, Ice Needles, Lightning Blast and Crush). Then head through the upper part of the Tree and work toward learning the No Guard and Fast Cast passive skills.

The Fire Bolt - Final Chant that he already knows is not as powerful as the Fire Bolt on his Skill Tree but he can use it with no cast time. It is a good thing to have in combos until you learn Fast Cast. Most of the enemies you will encounter in the near future are weak against Fire. If you want to conserve Skill Points to spend on Fast Cast, pick up Fire Bolt now and save the other elemental skills for later.

You have to pass all the way through town on your way to the exit, giving you a chance to explore.

Before starting your search, return to Midas's place. There is a treasure chest inside that holds the Artisan Pliers, a support item that makes it easier to create good items through Item Creation: Crafting.

Outside his house, find a few Breakables and a Collection Point north of the entrance. To the south are some DUMA Point Crystals, including a large Crystal, and a Collection point with a Gunner playing piece.

Down the trail you'll see some floating DUMA Point Crystals. Jump from the trail to the roof of the building west, collecting the Crystals as you go. Drop down behind the building and look for a chest that contains Morale Potion x1.

Follow the path in front of the two buildings southwest and take the lower path south. You will find a chest beside a wheel barrow under a lean-to. Open the chest to get Genius Potion x1.

Leave the area by the northwest downward trail. You will see crops planted on terraced fields. Check near the north end of the upper terrace to find a Snowy White Mini-Bunny. There is a Collection Point at the north end of the next terrace down. To the east are several areas with floating DUMA Point Crystals.

In the center of the Village you find the Inn, with the Item Shop next door. You can refit your party with upgraded weapons and armor at the Item Shop. You don't need to buy new weapons for Laeticia because you will find some soon. Outside the Item Shop on the east side is a chest that has Wind Incantation x1.

Talk to the Romantically Assertive Woman outside the Inn to start the Meet Some Meat Quest.

North from the Inn you can collect several DUMA Point Crystals. Where the trail turns west, you can find a chest to the west of the two buildings on the north side of the trail. Inside is 150 Fol.
