The end of Throné's first chapter has some horrible revelations for the young thief - Mother and Father only care about how ready their Blacksnakes are to take over and run the show. This is why they pitted Throné against her companions and why Pirro had to try and kill her. Whew, rough start to an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Octopath Traveler 2 story, huh?

After resolving to find her 'parents' and kill them to secure her freedom, Throné makes her way to Winterbloom, where Father told her to meet him. Will Throné be able to get the jump on this master of the craft? This section is a little more involved than Mother's chapter two route.

Town Phase: Winterbloom

When Throné arrives in town, she thinks about her plan for a few moments, and then you're given control. If this is your first time in Winterbloom, take a look around and hit the shops. You can find some nice weapons in the Weapon Shop, including a Stinging Dagger for Throné - grab these if you have the cash 🗹and need a power boost.

Your destination is the old tavern at the back of the Thieves' Quarter, which is to the north of the main area of Winterbloom. Enter the tavern and witness the scene that plays out inside. After the cutscene, Ambush all three men with Throné's Path Action. You may have to change the time to night.

You'll learn that Father's motivation for bringing you to Winterbloom is to take down the Snowhares, a rival thief group. After the scene, witness another to the right of the area, near the graves. Once that's over, it's time to take on the dungeon.

Pick up the Empowering Lychee (M) from the chest in the graveyard if you don't already have it!

Make sure you're healed and stocked up and then go Ambush the guard in front of the Snowhares' Den to proceed. Descend the stairs in the back room to enter t💎he dungeon.

Dungeon Phase: Snowhares' Den

This dungeon is a little bit maze-like - it's quite easy to get to the end, but picking up the treasure is another task entirely.

From the chained woman, head south to find a chest that contains a Healing Grape (M). Take the path to the right here until you reach a bridge made of planks to the north. Take the bridge and follow the path to another chest that contains an Inspiriting Plum (M).

From that previous chest, head south and down the ladder that leads to a jetty. Sail south underneath the stone bridge and then to the right. The chest here contains a Quartz Dagger - this isn't better than the Stinging Dagger that you can buy in Winterbloom, but it might be useful depending on how many party members can use Daggers.

Sail to the west now, ignoring the bridge. The next chest you find has a Shadow Soulstone (M).

Be careful when sailing - the monsters you fight in the water are a decent step tougher than those you fight on land. Don't be afraid to flee. That said, they make for good grinding opportunities if you are low on levels.

Now sail north and to the right until you reach a hole in some railings - just below the hole, you'll find a secret passage underneath what looks like another bridge above you. Use this path to reach the tantalizingly long ladder at the top of which you'll find a red chest containing an Empowering Bracelet. This accessory provides a hefty 500-point bonus to HP. If you have a tanky character who can use the Warrior's taunting ability, this is a good accessory to use on them, otherwise, give it to a squishy mage like Osvald or Temenos.

Head back to the wooden planks you crossed earlier and take the path to the south this time. Sa🅷ve your game at the save point and move north to face the b🌊oss.

Boss Phase: Bergomi

Bergomi is backed up by two Bergomi's Lackeys, and while they are present, you cannot target any of Bergomi's weaknesses. To this end, you'll need to eliminate the Lackeys as soon as possible. If you have any Thunder or Light Soulstones, this is a good opportunity to use them to reduce their Break Points efficiently - Osvald or anyone with the Scholar sub job would also do a great job. Naturally, Throné's HP Thief will also Break them quickly.

The Lackeys don't have much HP, so it shouldn't take long before you can start focusing on Bergomi. With weaknesses to Swords and Bows, it's very easy to Break him if you have a Warrior or Hunter along for the ride - Aggressive Slash hits three times, and a boosted Precise Shot can take out his four B🌞reak Points in one attack.

Bergomi likes to employ many status ailments, like Poison and stat debuffs. Don't worry too much about these, as they are all temporary.

After dealing enough damage, Bergomi will use Forbidden Pressure Point. This will give him a permanent all-stats-up buff, allow him to act twice a turn, and also reshuffle his weaknesses. In addition to that, his Break Point total is increased to eight. He'll have more weaknesses now, though, so you shouldn't find this too troubling.

Bergomi has some pretty tough attacks in this phase, including some that target the entire team. It's useful to have Temenos (or a Cleric, at least) around to provide party-wide healing. Once Bergomi has two attacks per turn, you'll want to stay healthy at all times - it's very easy for Bergomi to eradicate a weakened party member.

Bergomi's ultimate attack, signified by a purple aura, isn't actually too dangerous. It's an enfeebling dagger attack that deals a good chunk of damage and inflicts a ton of stat debuffs, but it's single-target. Don't panic about Breaking him if it would interrupt your setup, but do stay healthy.

After you beat Bergomi, the chapter will end after a few more scenes. Interestingly, it is possible for you to continue to pursue Father into Chapter 3 even if you haven't started the Mother route yet.
