Chapter Two of Visions Of Mana sees you arrive at Illystana, the Capital Of The Deep, where you'll meet with the Queen Palamena.
Previously, we fought off the Kraken on the boat journey and unlocked our first Elemental Plot expansion item: Soul Guard Tonic. You can use this item to expand all of the classes for Val and unlock new abilities for him to use.
Check out other guides in the Visions Of Mana Walkthrough.
We begin Chapter Two at Ledges Bay.
Ledges Bay
You'll be welcomed by the Illystana Official Ehcol. He tells you to head to Illystana as soon as possible.
Before leaving Ledges Bay, you might want to check out Dudbear, who has added some new stock, including the Spirit Serum (increases SPRT by 1).
There are also two side quests to pick up:
- Hillside Hoodlums (Reward: Lucre x2,270)
- Mushroom Mania (Reward: Lucre x1,980)
You can also pick up new Armor from the Armor vendor:
- Stiff Leathers (Val)
- Silk Vestment (Careena)
- Chain Mail (Morley)
Once done, head on out to Pritta Ridge, which is between you and Illystana.
Pritta Ridge
Here you can pick up the following useful items from Treasure Chests:
- Lamellar Armor (Val)
- Wrath of the Moon (seed) (Aeries Challenge)
- Critical Damage (seed)
- Resist Sleep (seed)
Make your way west to Illystana.
Illystana
When you arrive at Illystana, it seems the Alm Of Water has yet to be appointed. However, it appears there is a Alms rites of Initiation that is being held in the capital.
Before you go off, you might want to buy some new equipment from the weapons and armor shop! It has added the following:
- Blue Gale (Nightblade (Morley))
- Lamellar Armor (Val) - hopefully you picked this up previously
- Scaled Happi Coat (Careena)
- Mercurial Pelisse (Morley)
When you head up to the Fountain, the party will get interrupted by a strange man.
Follow the main story line through, where Val gifts Hinna a necklace and nighttime falls upon Illystana.
Head to The Sactomonium where the initiation begins. Here it is revealed that the Alm Of Water has been chosen and it's Palamena, the Queen of Illystana!
When you return to the Palace, it is revealed that something is going on at the Luka Ruins that is making the water in Illystama go bad.
Palamena joins your party!
You'll also be given the Undine Flask, which will unlock all new classes for everyone. It also gives the super powerful Elemental Attack that allows you to fire water blasts from range, allowing you to wipe out huge amounts of mobs at once!
Some new side quests have popped up in Illystama:
- Fallen by the Quayside (Reward: Extra MP (seed))
- Get Outta the Way! (Reward: Lucre x2,160)
- Tending to the Attendants (Reward: Blessing of Light (seed))
Now it's time to head to the Luka Ruins, which can be found to the north of Pritta Ridge (past the ancient ruins).
Luka Ruins
Luka Ruins is quite a small map! You'll come across water bubbles; just jump inside them and they will float up- you can then jump up to the next one, allowing you to climb the Luka Ruins wall.
If you head down the path, you'll come to the Elevator Bubble.
You'll have to deal with three rounds of mobs before you can use it however.
Once you take the elevator down, prepare for a fight!
Tip: Pop a Mythic Cookie to increase your EXP and a Opulent Incense to increase your Lucre rewards before the boss fight!
Boss Fight - Fullmetal Hugger
Level: 13
The giant crab boss will start the fight using it's melee claw attacks. You can easily allow your party to take this damage and dodge to the side and attack.
It will spray bubbles out that if they don't hit you, will stay on the battle field and then explode. You can swipe them with any normal attack to pop them, but don't get too close as they'll deal damage.
His main attack is where he will climb up the side of the wall and then after firing more bubbles, jump into the center of the arena. It's a huge area of attack, so try to stick to the outskirts to avoid damage.
When his health gets low, he will also do a 360 degree spin attack, that shoots out a laser. You can jump over this to dodge it.
Check out the video for more tips:
Rewards:
- Lucre x1,100
- 6,150 EXP
- Radiant Knight Tonic
After the fight, Palamena decides to fully embrace her role as Alm Of Water and wants to leave for The Mana Tree!
The Radiant Knight Tonic you get from defeating the boss will unlock Morley's second round of abilities in the Elemental Plot!
