Intro, Flashback, Zenith Academy Sea of Stars Walkthrough Pt.1

Walkthrough & Loot Reminders for the Intro, Flashback, and Zenith Academy parts of Sea of Stars.

Welcome again to our Sea of Stars Walkthrough. This segment deals with the events in the intro, flashback up to the final trial in Zenith Academy. Honestly, no human may ever need to read this but I gotta include it anyway, haha.

"Missable Items" / Important Loot Notes

• There's no important loot here, or any actually...

Sea of Stars Intro - the first step!

Select a “main” character Valere or Zale. Doesn’t make a huge difference, and it can be changed later. Mainly just affects whose walking at the head of the group, and you can talk to the "other" at camps and other scenes. This really isn't relevant.

The choice is between Zale or Valere, the “main” characters of Sea of Stars.

Mountain Trail (Intro)

There’s not much you can do here. Just keep going on your only obvious path, eventually setting up camp where the pair reminisce about their old friend, Garl. Where we get into a flashback!

Mooncradle (Ten Years Ago)

The book is your first savepoint. No important interactions / loot here. Talk to NPC’s for more lore if you like. You’ll get a taste of your first “animation” here when Brugraves and Erlina arrive. Once you’re ready, exit Mooncradle to the north and make your way to the Forbidden Cavern.

Forbidden Cavern (Ten Years Ago)

Enter, and a short ways up the entrance you have your first “fight”, if it can be called that.

Zenith Academy

After the events at the cave, the Headmaster inducts you into Zenith Academy. After you’re done exploring, head to bed. There's a bunch of cutscenes, some exploration, and some tutorials. I highly recommend checking out the tutorials if it's your first time. The bit about breaking locks is really important.

After all that jazz, you're sent off to the final trial of a Solstice Warrior in the Academy!

Final Trial

This is a pretty basic dungeon. Place the Ornate Stones from the chests into the pedestals. You do this twice in the first room. In the second room, you flip a switch and have a fight with Wyrd.

Boss - Wyrd

Shuffles weakness between Sun, Moon, and Physical. Not challenging at all, and it will be quick if you maximize the weaknesses and break his spell locks.

YOUR FIRST LEVEL UP!

Aside from getting basic stat increases, you also get to choose one other bonus stat from a choice of four possible ones. You don't always get the same options every level up. After you’re done, the Headmaster proclaims your readiness and begins the sendoff ceremony in the village.

Sea of Stars Relics - What are they?

Before you leave Mooncradle, you get your first Relics - the Amulet of Storytelling, and Sequent Flair. Basically, Relics are "passives" that you can toggle on and off from the Relics segment in your menu.

For example, Amulet of Storytelling - essentially makes the game a little easier, giving you +100% max HP and heals you after each combat. Sequent Flare - causes a star to shoot up from your head when you make a timed action. I recommend onning Sequent Flare.
