5. WALKTHROUGH - CHAPTER 3 - INTO THE WEST [500]

Guide yourself through Chapter 3 of Valiant Hearts: The Great War, finding Rubella, collecting stardust, and facing the Ogre boss.

Alright, let's dive into Chapter 3 of Valiant Hearts: The Great War! This section is called "Into the West," and it's all about exploring your new abilities and facing down some tough foes.

Walkthrough:

1. First things first, after the last boss fight, you'll notice you can now fly! Turn around from where you are and fly up and to the right, towards the outside of the boss room.

6. As you continue left, you'll encounter new enemies. There are flying enemies vulnerable to fire (around 50 HP), spiders also vulnerable to fire, and a wolf enemy with about 70 HP that isn't weak to any specific element. Remember to equip the fire oculi on your weapon for extra firepower!
7. Keep going left until you reach another treehouse. Go down and then left towards a flying enemy. You can circle around this area to find a secret spot. Inside, down and to the left, you'll find an HP STARDUST.
8. Back outside, there are more chests to find. You can enter a tree with thorns (not the main
