01 VILLAGE · FOREST OF ILLUSION DUNGEON 1
🍉Exit the village rightward. Enter the first cave and buy a Watermelon from the shop inside. Hold onto it for now.
🌲Continue into the Forest of Illusion. The forest has repeating sections designed to disorient — red flowers indicate the correct exit. Follow their orientation to avoid looping.
Complete the forest dungeon as the Hero.
UNLOCKS ARCHER — ranged precision attacks
02 WATERMELON CHAIN · OCEAN DUNGEON DUNGEON 2
👴Give the Watermelon to Akane's grandfather in the village. He gives you a Snorkel.
🏹Travel left from the village with the Archer. Shoot a target to reveal a secret cave — this leads to the laboratory.
🤿Trade the Snorkel to Mizuki at the laboratory for access to her Submarine.
🌊Take the submarine to the ocean floor. Navigate to and complete the underwater dungeon. You will also pick up the Abyss Key here.
UNLOCKS NINJA — enhanced jumping, elevated area access
03 MR. ADVENTURE · DESERT TEMPLE DUNGEON 3
🗝Use the Abyss Key to enter Mr. Adventure's house. Pick up the Water Bottle inside — it's a required item.
🥷With the Ninja, travel right from the village overcoming elevated areas the Hero couldn't reach. Cross the small cave to reach the desert.
🗿Find the Golem in the desert. Give him the Water Bottle — he grants access to the desert temple.
🏜Complete the desert temple.
UNLOCKS MAGE — reveals hidden objects, doors, and crystals
The Mage is the most important utility character in the game. Use their reveal ability constantly from this point forward.
04 MAGE WORK · VOLCANO DUNGEON DUNGEON 4
The Mage unlocks a lot. Do the following before pushing to the next dungeon.
💎Use the Mage to uncover hidden crystals in flowers and rocks throughout the world. The first crystal is at the top of the village fountain.
💰Return to Mr. Adventure's house. Use the Mage to destroy the breakable wall inside — it leads to a room with unlimited money.
🌲Return to the forest and find the cracked tree. Use the Mage's magic to open a passage — this leads toward the volcano area.
🚪Head right to find a dungeon with hidden doors — use the Mage to reveal them. Defeat the green turtle boss inside to obtain a key and complete the dungeon.
UNLOCKS BIRD MAN — flight, full mountain area access
05 MATCHBOX CHAIN · SKY DUNGEON DUNGEON 5
The second trading chain begins here. Complete it as you go — it ends with the Scarf needed for the Crystal Palace.
🌋From the volcano area, fly west with the Bird Man to reach an area only accessible by flight. Find the Matchbox here.
🎁In a nearby house with a small flame, trade the Matchbox for a Gift Voucher.
🎻Take the Gift Voucher to the ocean shop and exchange it for a Violin.
🏯Head to the coastal tower area. Light the torches to open the door, then climb to reach the sky area.
🧣Give the Violin to a boy in a house in the sky area. He gives you the Scarf — required to enter the Crystal Palace.
From the sky shop area, fly upward to find an alternate path leading to the sky dungeon. Complete it.
UNLOCKS FAIRY — access to narrow passages
06 CRYSTAL PALACE DUNGEON 6
Requires the Scarf. Without it the ice area is inaccessible.
🧚From the village heading east, find a tiny cave — only accessible with the Fairy. Cross through it to reach the ice world.
Enter the Crystal Palace. Work through the challenges behind the various doors.
🚪Invisible door: In the dark area of the palace, there is a looping section. Go through the centre door — it is invisible but it's there. This is the way out.
Defeating the boss gives you the Black Knight's Letter.
COASTAL TOWER · BLACK KNIGHT FINAL
🏯Return to the coastal tower. Use the Bird Man to fly to the top — a giant door is hidden up there.
The Black Knight is behind the giant door. Defeat him for the normal ending.
💎For the secret ending, you must have gathered all crystals before this fight — see Secrets below.
The game auto-warps you back to the village after some dungeons. This is normal — re-navigate from there.

🏆Secret ending: Collect all crystal fragments, then after defeating the Black Knight return to the village and fully traverse the Cave of Despair. Defeat the giant ghost and meet Mr. Adventure for the true ending.
▸ ESSENTIAL TIPS
💬Talk to everyone: Progression gates are often NPC flags. If you're stuck, exhaust all dialogue before anything else.
🗺No map: There is no in-game map. Note landmarks as you explore. Red flowers are the only explicit navigation aid.
🔍Use the Mage constantly: Swap to them whenever entering a new area. Hidden doors, crystals, and walls are everywhere and easy to miss.
💾Save often: Save points are plentiful. Use them — the event flag system can leave you stuck in unexpected ways.
💎Crystals: Gather them as you progress. Hunting them all at the end is far more tedious. The Mage reveals hidden ones.
