Guide to Chapter 4 of Valiant Hearts: The Great War, focusing on The Deep Dark Well. Learn about Finn the Magician, new enemies, puzzles, and the boss fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Plunder the village houses for loot before speaking to the quest giver.
  2. 2
    Speak to the BEARDED MAN, who explains the townsfolk were turned into birds by the DARK QUEEN and that the WATER OF LETHE is the cure. Accept his quest and his offer to join your party.
  3. 3
    Finn the Magician is an offensive magic user with high magic power but generally low stats. He has skill branches for fire, water, and lightning magic.
  4. 4
    Learn the new mechanic of SWAPPING party members during battle. A swapped-in character can act immediately without costing a turn.
  5. 5
    Descend into the well, which serves as a large aquifer dungeon. New enemies include a water spider (weak to lightning, resistant to fire) and a pigrat (weak to fire).
  6. 6
    In the first cavern, drop to the bottom and go left to find a symbol projection puzzle. Project the crescent moon symbol to the top center of the image, above the queenly lady, to open the door.
  7. 7
    Explore the exterior of the dungeon for chests containing items and experience points. Encounter spike traps, which can be temporarily disabled by lighting a nearby white switch.
  8. 8
    Enter the interior of the dungeon. You will face a gargoyle (low HP) and a fiery wolf (vulnerable to water).
  9. 9
    Go right and drop down to find a secret area containing a chest with a TUMBLED OCULI, a higher-tier oculi.
  10. 10
    Continue right until you find the head of a statue. Talk to the crow there, who is Finn's grandpa.
  11. 11
    Fly up from the statue head to find MAGIC STARDUST and CONFESSION #3.
  12. 12
    Proceed right past more spikes. The area will begin to rumble, signaling an imminent BOSS FIGHT. Recommended levels are around 15-18.
Tips
  • Plundering the village before accepting the quest ensures you don't miss any loot.
  • Consider Finn's elemental weaknesses when upgrading his skills; focusing on water magic might be less effective in a water-themed dungeon.
  • Utilize the party swapping mechanic to maximize HP and MP and adapt to enemy weaknesses.
  • The symbol projection puzzle requires careful observation of where to place the crescent moon symbol.
  • Remember that spike traps can be temporarily deactivated by interacting with white switches.
  • Experiment with MERGING oculi to create more powerful versions.
  • Recruitment of Finn the Magician.
  • Tumbled Ocui.
  • Magic Stardust.
  • Confession #3.
