Complete Ys X: Proud Nordics Carnac walkthrough, including how to get the Lila Shell, use Duo Guard, and navigate Haagen Highway.

You will learn about the local legend of Sea King's Throne located somewhere in Obelia Gulf. If you sit on it and make a wish, it will come true.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Leave the Rusveri Inn to continue.
  2. 2
    You will hear a mysterious voice; respond to Dogi however you want. You can dash with L1.
  3. 3
    Trigger some scenes at the red markers. Eventually, you will get the Lila Shell.
  4. 4
    Defeat the monster that approaches you, then examine it.
  5. 5
    The game will unlock Skills (R1 + any symbol button). Set a skill and then use it to destroy the monster for good.
  6. 6
    When you regain control, try to leave Rusveri Inn and Rosalind will hand over a letter.
  7. 7
    Leave and go back to the shore where you got the seashell.
  8. 8
    You will encounter battle tutorials: Power Attacks cannot be defended against with Guard or Evade. Duo Mode, while holding down R2, pressing X will cause both characters to attack in synchronization. If you're not attacking in Duo Mode, it does Duo Guard.
  9. 9
    You are now chained to Karja. Your next destination is the Norman's Headquarters, but you can run around and talk to some NPCs for different dialogue as she is with you.
  10. 10
    Blondie will ask if you're Karja's boyfriend; feel free to deny it.
  11. 11
    Follow the next set of red markers and Karja will get a change of clothes.
  12. 12
    After the next red marker event, you can finally leave the town.

Haagen Highway

Hewnstone (a type of structure) allow for travel shortcuts and healing HP. Harvest Points (flowers) are nearby but do not appear on the (mini)map, so keep an eye out for them on the field. Unlike previous games, there's no need to run around the edges of the field map to get % on Land Discovery Rate.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Approach the red markers:
  2. 2
    1. Neighbourhood Watch: Gulliver will hand over a Heal Potion. If you use it up, he can supply you another one if you interact with him using the Triangle button.
  3. 3
    2. Battle tutorial: Duo Guard against Power Attacks.
  4. 4
    3. Romes and Cruz.
  5. 5
    4. Rafe and Ashley.
  6. 6
    5. Milette.
  7. 7
    Save your game at the Hewnstone in front of the lighthouse. If you need to refill the Heal Potion, Gulliver is at the first Hewnstone. Warp will also refresh the map with monsters, harvest points and breakables if you want to grind a bit.
  8. 8
    Approach the red marker and get a tutorial for the Durability Meter, which is located above the enemy's HP gauge. You cannot inflict damage on to the enemy's HP until you get rid of the Durability Meter.
  9. 9
    Defeat the Blumus (Level 7). It uses a Power Attack: a charge that goes further than a regular boar's.
  10. 10
    Go through the lighthouse doors and head down and exit.
  11. 11
    You will encounter enemies with levels 7-8.
  12. 12
    You will get a Field Tutorial: Switch.
  13. 13
    Open the chest for Gold x150.
  14. 14
    Open the chest for Nornir's Spindle (an Antique that grants Mana Action).
  15. 15
    Use Mana String (L2 to latch on) and time your jump off while swinging forward. You'll do this two more times while proceeding.
  16. 16
    You'll come across another Hewnstone. You can still fast travel back to the first Hewnstone in Haagen Highway to get a refill of the Heal Potion if needed.
  17. 17
    Before you fight the big bad, you'll get a Duo Skill. Open the Skill menu, tab to the Cross one and equip Double Smash.
  18. 18
    Defeat the Armed Biter (Base Lvl: 8). It uses a Power Attack: leaping and jumping down on you. It will also swipe at you and swing its tail at you.
  19. 19
    After defeating it and some scenes, you'll be back in town.

Carnac Revisited

Walkthrough:

  1. Leave the clinic to continue, head to the inn for a string of scenes.
  2. Interact with Grenn, choose the first option to continue. You will get a brief tutorial on Rescuing.
  3. Head towards the Norman Command Post for an event.
  4. Head up to the next marker to find Grenn, fight against three more Griegr wolves and a mysterious Griegr lady. You won't have to beat her, just remove her Durability Meter, and hack away at her HP. A scene will take over at around the 2/3 HP mark. Her sword swings do hurt, so try to keep up Duo Guard and attack in between her swings.
  5. Eventually Adol will find himself alone on a mystery map (Viewpoint Isle).
  6. There are only some wolves on the map.
  7. You can use Mana String on the right side, up on the hill.
  8. After the 3-string swing across, there's a chest with Breath Water.
  9. Breaking the crystal next to it makes a mana string point in case you fall down.
  10. There is a Hewnstone.
  11. Approach the red marker event (don't bother going further as you cannot interact with anything on the other side yet).
  12. The Revenge Gauge fills up when enemies attack you while you're using Duo Guard. When it's full and you use a Duo Skill, it multiplies the damage.
  13. Defeat the new Griegrs to continue. Then you'll be tasked with running away before Igi can catch you.
  14. In the chase sequence, you'll have to dodge and remove debris, avoid barrels, and use Mana String to jump across broken bridges. You will have to fight Igi at the top, but what you want to do is use Duo Guard and let him hit you to build the Revenge Gauge to 2.0 and then use Double Smash to lower his Durability Meter.
  15. Once you remove it, you'll get a scene and Adol will use a broken plank as a board to slide downhill. You will have to use Mana String one more time towards the end.
  16. The next time you have control, you'll be on board the Sandras and given a map of Obelia Gulf. You won't be able to explore just yet, so move towards the red marker for now.
