The Van Eltia

Navigate The Van Eltia in Tales of Berseria Remastered! Find all skits, treasures, and defeat the Pandora Pot boss with this expert walkthrough.

Alright, let's get you sorted with The Van Eltia! This section is all about triggering those juicy skits and grabbing some neat items before a boss fight. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward.

First things first, head to the earthpulse point. You'll want to trigger the skits called Fishing for a Therion?! and Laphi. After that, chat with Benwick, Rokurou, Eizen, Magilou, and Eleanor. Once you've had your fill of chatting, go back to Benwick. He'll get you started with the skits A Catch (1) and A Catch (2), plus some extra scenes. Get ready, because after that, you'll have two minor battles to fight.

Boss: Pandora Pot (HP: 59648)

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weakness: Earth
• Resistance: Neutral, Fire
• Defense: High
• Arte Defense: High
• Special: Reduces stun duration by 35%

Strategy:

• The Pandora Pot hits hard with water, non-elemental, and earth attacks, often inflicting status ailments. Keep an eye out for its Slowing Break arte, which creates a huge AOE you absolutely need to interrupt. Also, watch out for Flood Wall, a quick-casting spell.
• Because its Defense and Arte Defense are so high, your regular attacks might not do as much damage as you'd like.
• Your best bet is to focus on its Earth weakness. Use moves like Velvet's Mega Sonic Thrust and chain your Break Souls together. If you can build up enough damage, unleash a Mystic Arte to really chew through its health bar.
• Don't forget to exploit its armored weakness too!

Drops: Journeyman Smith's Acerite

After that boss fight, you'll have snagged the Horns, X-Ray Glasses, and Mustache fashion items, along with the Orichalcum Block and the Takoyaki recipe. Not bad!

Now, let's get back to the skits. Speak with each of your party members, then chat with Laphicet again to trigger the skit A Dropped Letter. Head down to the docks for the skit Eizen's Letter. After that, you'll have a whole bunch more skits to watch: A Nickname for Magilou, Octopus Ink Pasta!?, Who Was the Letter For?, Picky Eizen, and Two-Headed Coin. Phew!

Find Benwick again, and he'll start the skit The Happy Prince, which is all about Percival and Griffin. Then, make your way to the very end of the dock and talk to Grim to catch the skit Eizen and the Sea.

Feeling like you need a breather? You can head back to the Inn near the back docks to rest. Doing so will trigger the skit Hideout Life: The Rhinostagros. Once you're done with all that, you're ready to travel to Port Zekson!
