Navigate the treacherous ruins of Zaude in Tales of Vesperia. Follow our walkthrough to find all chests, defeat Yeager, and uncover the secrets of this critical dungeon.
Walkthrough
- 1Upon entering Zaude, head right to find a chest in the water containing a Barrier.
- 2Continue north past the save point and examine the vent for a scene.
- 3After the scene, go down the stairs and left at the fork. Follow the path to a room filled with chests. Open them for 15000 Gald, a Moon Cloak, Special Gel, Splash Dress, Limit Bottle, Life Bottle, Zaude Orb, 20000 Gald, and a Panacea Bottle.
- 4Return to the fork and go north. Examine the statue, then shoot it with the Sorcerer's Ring to flood the area.
- 5Swim northwest and climb rubble to dry land. Open the chest to the southwest for a Pineapple Gel.
- 6Follow the path northeast to a new screen. Swim north for a Dunamis. The southeast exit leads to a Lemon Gel.
- 7Return to the first room and swim southwest. Go up the stairs for a scene.
- 8Continue up the stairs to a new screen. Find a Rare Plate on the northwest balcony and a Rare Protector on the northeast balcony.
- 9Enter the large door to the north. You'll find a healing save point. Proceed through the door for a scene and the boss fight.
- 10After the boss fight, head north to the next room to face the Giganto, Poseidon. Defeating it yields a Mjolnir, Shiden, and a Rod (which grants the 'Special' skill for Estelle's Mystic Arte).
- 11Go through the door to the right. Follow the path to a room with water. Go up the first stairs and push the block off the platform to the south. Open the chest to the right for a Neptune.
- 12Go down the stairs and push the block onto the other identical block to the south.
- 13Go back up the stairs and shoot the blue orb to raise the water level.
- 14Swim to the southeast stairs and push the block west into the water to create a path.
- 15Continue west. Stand on the left side of the floor crack and shoot the red orb to reach a balcony with a chest containing a Treat and a Specific.
- 16Proceed through the door to the west and continue down the halls until you can go north.

- Secret Mission: Hit Yaeger with Raven's Rain Arte right after breaking his guard during the second phase.
- Note: Use a Magic Lens on both phases.
- Strategy: Bring Raven for the Secret Mission and Estelle for healing. Consider two fighters like Yuri and Flynn for support.
- Phase 1: Focus on survival and whittling down Yeager's health.
- Phase 2: Yeager frequently enters Over Limit and uses his Mystic Arte. Spread out when he Over Limits. To achieve the Secret Mission, break his guard and use Raven's Rain Arte. This is difficult; try trapping him with Flynn's 'Beast' Arte and spamming it to break his guard, then switch to Raven. If necessary, lower the difficulty or reset to attempt the mission on Easy.
