This walkthrough will help you to finish the game.

General Information

Note that you can technically reach the boss room in less than 5 minutes if you skip all fights, although I’m not sure if you’ll be able to beat the final boss that way.

• Enemies don’t respawn. Kill all enemies that you find.
• Your HP will be restored after you level up.
• The game autosaves whenever you move screens.

Go around the building from the east side until you are close to the big purple flower. Interact with the flower to obtain Potion. Exit the area and head south until you reach Formal Garden.

Head to the south area, past the bridge. There is a twinkle near the east bridge. Interact with it to get Resistance Increase. Open the box nearby to get nothing too. Continue heading west to Flooded Plain, then northeast to reach Special Blossoms.

Interact with the twinkle near the body of water to get Attack Increase. There is another twinkle on the right side of the big flower tube that contains Mana Potion. Return to Flooded Plain.

Head to the southwest corner of the map. Er is een Defense Increase lying near the waterfall’s left side. Head to the west exit.

Follow the north path until you see a twinkle near the sunflower fields (the yellow colored ground). Haal de op HP Increase. Head to the northwest corner of the map to reach the next screen.

Enter the rightmost house.

Er is een Potion next to the potty to the north. You also can rest in the bed to recover your HP and MP here. Feel free to come back to this place whenever you need it. Exit the building and enter the building to the left. Use the right door.

Ophalen Super Potion to the east. Return to Park Entry and head to the north exit.

Follow the path until you reach a tent, then cross the bridge. Follow the east path to find Resistance Increase lying on the floor. There are two exits in this area: north and west. Let’s explore the west exit first.

Ophalen Agility Increase en Mana Potion naar het zuiden. There’s nothing more to do here, so return to Campsite and head to the north exit.

Watch out for the enemy. Het is sterk. Enter the building.

Ophalen Luck Increase naar links. You can buy potions by interacting with the twinkle to the right. Return to Firewatch and head to the north exit.

Er zijn 2 exits here: inside the cave north from the area entrance and the northeast exit. Explore the northeast exit first.

Head to the north exit.

There are several exits here: noordwesten, zuidwesten, and east. Let’s start with the northwest exit.

There is nothing much to do here, but if you somehow can’t find the area exit, you need to use the second track from the bottom.

Watch out for the bunny enemies (Ammereit) in this area. They are strong. I advise you to just use Spell Enhancement + 2x Crispy Flare II, then rest at Asta Cave (Living Space) after you finish the fight. Hoe dan ook, once you’re done, head north.

De 2 houses on the cave has nothing of interest, so just head to the north exit.

Vertrekken 1 monster alive in this map. Ophalen HP Increase near the left building. Opnieuw, there is nothing on the 2 houses here, so proceed to the north exit.

Pesper! Now we have another objective. De 5 Star Keys are scattered between the whole map. Before you find them, ophalen MP Increase en Attack Increase to the west and east. You can use the stat increase with the enemy in the previous area if you keep it alive.

Hoe dan ook, time to find the Star Keys! Here are their locations. Just reexplore the whole map and check the area names for reference.
