This is a guide for Chapter 5 of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, covering the journey to Vinisog Holm in the Cadensia Region.

Now that you’ve got yourselves a fancy ship, the next thing to do is to learn how to use it. Thankfully, the game always displays the controls near the bottom-right corner, provided you’re not checking the current quest details. Or you can hit

How to reach Vinisog Holm¶
(1 of 2) Erythia Sea is vast, but most of it just water.
Erythia Sea is vast, but most of it just water. (left), To begin with, we suggest heading to Vinisog Holm to get your bearings. (right)
After boarding the Boundary, set a course due north from Sentridge Harbor. After leaving the tunnel, you’ll emerge in a fairly enclosed area. To the west, there’s a path that leads back around to N’ohm Wetlands, via Morrack Inlet. Might be worth taking a detour, although you’ll be heading there for Lanz’s Side Story.
Further north is the entrance to Erythia Sea itself, a vast ocean that’s home to many islands, large and small, with Agnus Castle in the far distance. At this point, you can explore the entire Erythia Sea, minus the area near the castle, which is part of the Agnus Castle Barbican.
To advance the story, you must visit Vinisog Holm, which is the small island nearest the entrance, if you travel north-north-east.
Notable Areas in Erythia Sea¶
(1 of 2) Daedal Isle is home to many massive monsters.

Here’s a quick overview of each notable area in Erythia Sea, bearing in mind we won’t be visiting all of them during this walkthough (but you’ll free to explore). To emphasize, this is just the notable areas; there are many minor areas dotted around too.
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Vinisog Holm | The island nearest to the southern entrance, located north-north-east. Your initial destination. |
| Morrack Inlet | Back road leading to N’ohm Wetlands. After leaving the Sentridge Harbor tunnel, turn left at the nearest opportunity, then travel south. You’ll go here for Lanz’s Side Story. |
| Brasa Geothermal Belt | A marsh area along the south edge of Erythia Sea, east from the entrance. Hazard Neutralization is recommended. |
| Baldotas Atoll | A spiny island near the south-west corner; west-north-west from Vinisog Holm. There’s a Ferronis Hulk here. |
| Cape Arcaphor | A waterfall area near the south-east corner; east from Vinisog Holm. You’ll visit here during Chapter 7. |

What to do at Vinisog Holm¶
(1 of 3) Kisame is apparently here at Vinisog Holm.
Upon arriving at Vinisog Holm, hold to get off the Boundary when you’re next to the shore. When you go a bit further into the shore, the quest marker will move further in. From here, head up the eastern slope towards the Vinisog Holm Camp. The gang will rest up and eventually your contact, Kisame, will arrive. Your next task is to find info related to Li Garte Prison Camp at two locations:
- Corne Island towards the north-west.
- Thurbin Island towards the north, past Daedal Island.
