Blind Well Alley & The Rotting Waterway:

This section leads to Castle Kriegante's depths to pursue Morris. Fast travel to Blind Well Alley, descend the well, and navigate the Rotting Waterway. Watch for Kapcertos (water-dwelling enemies vulnerable to dark attacks) and utilize the squad button to avoid ambushes. Levers (marked with exclamation points on the map) control water levels. Explore tunnels for items; one chest is a disguised Pyrite Imitec. Obtain the Prowlers Pipe. Use the staircase to reach the Magla Room, saving your progress and establishing a fast travel point.

Shadow Monster Tracking I & The Old Reservoir:

Evade the shadowy Human pet summoned by Morris. Avoid direct confrontation unless over-leveled. Use the tunnels to evade its gaze (it scans every 2-4 seconds). Repeat this tactic to reach the Old Reservoir. If caught, flee to avoid a party wipe.

Close All The Floodgates:

Locate and activate six levers to drain the reservoir. Follow the map's exclamation points. The Human is absent in this section. Once drained, proceed to the next area via ladders and save at the Magla Hollow.

Shadow Monster Escape:

Outrun the Human, dodging falling crates. Failure results in restarting the section. Take the elevator to the next area and save at the Magla Hollow. Prepare for consecutive unavoidable battles.

Sinner's Dungeon:

Free your party members (and fight the released monsters) by activating levers. Collect items and proceed to the Underground Passage. Save at the Magla Hollow before continuing.

Search For Clues & The Final Confrontation:

Investigate the nursery to uncover the truth. Save at Plateau before the final cutscene and boss fight. Lady Joanna is revealed as the true kidnapper. The boss fight against Homo Jaluzo begins after Joanna instigates an attack.

Defeating Homo Jaluzo:
