Zopheir

A complete walkthrough for Zopheir in Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition, including item locations, boss strategies for Baitojoh, and secret mission guides.

After the scene, move forward and go up the small hill to claim a Tabar from the chest. Continue along the main path and ascend another small hill for a Panacea Bottle. Keep following the path and open a chest along the way for a Melange Gel. Take a few more steps forward for a scene.

Now backtrack to where the ice sank and continue pressing on. Open the chest in plain sight for a Lemon Gel. Keep going. At a fork, go north and open the chest for a Limit Bottle. Continue along this path for a scene.

Go back to the fork and head south this time. Open the chest for a Pineapple Gel. Now go back to the fork one more time and head right. Follow the path to the north and open a chest containing a Hades. This weapon has the 'Special' skill and will allow Judith to use her Mystic Arte! Keep following the path to find three chests in plain sight containing a Mercurias, a Falcon Needle, and a Cure Bottle. Continue along the path until another scene starts.

Backtrack all the way to the fork and go east. You will find a Life Bottle just off the path to the south as you go. You will eventually reach a healing save point. Proceed to the east and go south at the fork to find a Diamond Guard. Then go north for a Tent. Continue to the east for a scene and a boss fight.

Secret Mission: During the second phase, strike Baitojoh's fin three times as it swims around underground.

Note: Use a Magic Lens during the first phase of the fight and a second during the second phase of the fight.

Strategy:

• There are two phases to this fight. For the first, you must control Karol by himself. All you can do is run. You don't have a chance of winning. Attempting to mount any form of offense against Baitojoh will only get you killed. So just throw a Magic Lens. Then guard and run for your life. After you have avoided its attacks long enough, a scene takes over.
• Karol will get and automatically be equipped with the Bravior.
• Now the rest of your party joins the fray. The second phase is when the fight actually begins. Karol must be present in your party for this fight. Have Raven healing and casting spells when he can while Rita mounts a nonstop assault. Then take Karol and another fighter of your choice in up close to lay on the pressure. This boss doesn't have much of anything in his arsenal that poses too great of a threat. It likes to dive underground and burst up from underneath your party members. So keeping it away from your casters is more or less impossible.
• As for the Secret Mission, all you have to do is hit its fin while it is swimming around underground three times. With Rita and Raven throwing out spells, along with Karol and your fourth party member constantly attacking, this should come pretty much automatically.

After the scenes, you can move on.

There will be many paths available to you here at the fork. Take a path leading east to find a Bloody Coat. Go back to the fork. Open the chest on the little patch of ice floating in the water just north of the fork for a Body Paint. Go southeast at the fork to find a Pineapple Gel, Seal Bottle, and Psychedelica. This weapon has the 'Special' skill and will allow Rita to use her Mystic Arte!

Now return to the fork and go north. When you come to another fork, take the southern path to a Limit Bottle. Now return to the fork and take the other path. Follow it and you will find a chest containing 5x Magic Lenses. Continue to follow the path and go left when you can. Open the chest on the northwest edge of this giant piece of ice for a Lottery Gel.

Now continue to the southeast until a scene starts. After the scene, exit this place to the southeast.

Your next destination is Halure. Simply follow the path and go south. You will know you are on the right track when you reach grassy land. Continue on this path and follow the mountains, heading north when you are able to. You will soon find yourself in familiar territory near Aspio. Then continue to Halure.

Scene on entry. Go to the Inn and speak to the Innkeeper for a scene. After the scene, leave the Inn and head to the Mayor's house. Scene on the way there. After the scene, return to the party's room at the Inn. Scene. Then head towards the city's exit for another scene.

Now you'll be on the World Map. Travel to the nearby Quoi Woods. Proceed until a scene starts.

After the scene, continue to the left and make your way out of Quoi Woods. Once you are on the World Map, do not go to Zaphias yet. Instead, go to Deidon Hold. We have some things to do there.

With these things done, go towards Zaphias. On the way, you will see a scene. After the scene, continue to Zaphias.
