The action at the train station has spilled over into the Stribog Line to the Oscore Plant and you’ll find yourself in the middle of it all.

Looks like there is a secret to the Kresnik line we didn’t know about, or at least you wouldn’t if you didn’t read up on this game ahead of time. I’m not gonna spoil it for you, so just deal with the strange new people you don’t know and make a choice as to what you’ll do.

Head through the car to the door and then grab the Life Bottle x2 before you continue through to the next car. There are two skits here, Why is Elle Alone? and The Mysterious Figure .

Grab the treasure as you pass through the cars again and then stop and discuss Elle.

Continue through the car and just after the next dining car check the right seating area for a chest with Pudding Cake (Small) before you continue. There isn’t much in the next car except the Item Shop, again, so head into the next car. Just past the dining car you can find 800 Gald in the second seating area on the left and then continue to the save, encountering another tutorial about elements on the way.

No matter which option you choose you will be forced into a battle.

Boss: Julius

You need to block a lot in this fight and only focus on attacking when you see the blue (!). In addition you MUST block when you see the red (!) or take the Time Disintegration skill in the face. If you saved up your Over Limit for the boss fight you can trigger this by performing Azure Blade or Time Disintegration and then link the other arte on the end. If you can do that twice in the Over Limit time you should take down Julius easily.

The blue exclamation mark notifies you when an enemy is about to attack, so be careful and trigger Linked Artes to take Julius down.

After the fight you will be faced with an option, but only one seems plausible in my mind.
