Osvald Chapter 1 Walkthrough

Frigit Isle: Cell Prison

Retrieve Osvald’s Notebook

Frigit Isle: Yard

Find Suitable Clothing

1	At the prisoner’s yard, assume control of Osvald after many cutscenes.
2	Feel free to interact and use your Path Actions with other prisoners and guards in the area.
3	Go west and approach the prisoner standing across the benches covered with snow.
4	After the cutscene with Bale, the Provisioner, look for another prisoner who knows his weakness.
5	Scrutinize Bale first and head east until you reach the east gate.
6	Find the prisoner standing beside the cafeteria.
7	Scrutinize that prisoner to get the information, Bale’s Weakness.
8	Return to Bale and talk to him again.

Find an Accomplice

1	Refer to your radar to enter the cafeteria nearby.
2	Make use of Osvald’s daytime Path Action, Scrutinize, and examine the prisoner in the far right corner.
3	You will speak to Emerald and pick “The latter” as a response. (You can choose also “The former” for additional banter between the two.)

Frigit Isle: Prison

Find an Escape Route

1	From the yard, go west and north to enter the prison.
2	Speak with the first target prisoner who is positioned across from the stairs on the 2nd floor. Use Scrutinize.
3	Before leaving enter the far left prison cell and examine the 1st treasure chest inside (Bottle of Blinding Dust x1).
4	Take the east corridor pathway and climb upwards to reach the 3rd floor.
5	Feel free to approach the second target prisoner. Then, examine the 2nd treasure chest nearby (Inspiriting Plum x1).
6	Leave the prison and head back to the yard.

Frigit Isle: Yard

Acquire the Labor Report

1	From the prison entrance, go east and enter the library.
2	See the shining book from a shelf and examine it.
3	After a cutscene, head back to the yard.
4	From the yard entrance/exit head to the warehouse building behind the cafeteria.

Make your way to the underground passageway

1	You can now use the nighttime Path Acti0n, Mug. Although optional you can take down other prisoner NPCs on the map. NPC guards are hard to take down at your current level. Focus on taking out level 1 NPCs first.
2	Also, Emerald will not participate during your Mug battles against other NPCs but you can use his Healing skill to recover lost HP.
3	Move west and trigger a cutscene. Do not enter the secret hole yet if you want to level up Osvald. (I leveled Osvald up to Level 5.)
4	Optional: Defeat a prisoner (Lv.1) inside the warehouse (Weak to Stave) (Healing Grape x1), a prisoner (Lv.1) close to the benches (Weak to Stave) (Olive of Life x1), a prisoner (Lv.1) in the middle of the path across the yard and prison building (Weak to Stave) (Healing Grape x1 and Inspiriting Plum x1), a prisoner (Lv.2) inside the library (Weak to Ice) (Fire Soulstone x1), a prisoner inside the cafeteria close to the dishes (Weak to Ice) (Old Cloth x1), a prisoner (Lv.2) in inside the cafeteria close to the stove (Weak to Ice) (Herb of Revival x1 and Tree Nut x1), and a prisoner (Lv.2) close to the dining tables (Weak to Stave) (Bottle of Poison Dust x1).
5	Return to the secret hole and descend towards the underground passage.

Prison: Underground Passage

Escape from Frigit Isle

1	Before descending the stairs, learn new skills such as Lightning Bolt. Then, reach the first lower floor.
2	Take down enemies you encounter along the way: Frost Mole I (Weak to Dagger and Stave), Frost Mole II (Weak to Stave), White Bat (Weak to Dagger and Fire), Ice Wisp (Weak to Fire and Lightning).
3	Examine the 3rd treasure chest inside a cell (Healing Grape x1) located on the 1st lower floor.
4	Use the ladder across the cell to reach the 2nd lower floor. Enter another cell to open the 4th treasure chest (Inspiriting Plum x1).
5	Go further west passing by the stairs to spot the 5th treasure chest (Sinner’s Staff x1). Equip the stave weapon to Osvald.
6	Return to the previous location and descend to the 3rd lower floor.
7	In the same manner, go further west to locate the 6th treasure chest (Ancient Necklace x1). Equip the accessory to Osvald.
8	Run back to the previous spot and go east this time. See the 7th treasure chest inside a cell (Olive of Life x1).
9	Head out and go east to see a Provisioner. Buy a Cloth Hood body armor for Osvald, Healing Grapes for HP recovery, and Inspiriting Plums for SP recovery. (I have 10 Healing Grapes and at least 5 Inspiriting Plums on-hand.)
10	Save your current game before facing a chapter boss. Make sure all party members have full HP and SP bars. (I leveled Osvald up to Level 7 and Emerald to Level 6.)
