Welcome again to our Sea of Stars Walkthrough. This segment deals with the events in the Elder Mist Trials. Basically and introduction to the Live Mana system - something you wanna abuse.

"Missable Items" / Important Loot Notes

Armor: Basic Armor
Recipe: Mushroom Scramble

Enemies here can only be damaged with the “Live Mana” system. Generate a charge of Live Mana by using a regular attack, and use it with R2 to bolster any action you take! In the case of a basic attack, you add your “element” to it if using a boosted action. You also cannot use any skills here.

You have to enter and retrieve a relic from each of the three rooms / platforms.

Elder Mist Trials - Left Room

There’s a Basic Armor right here near the entrance. Flip the switch, then eventually put down the ladder, flip the switch again and you can go up the ladder and use the platform.

Elder Mist Trials - Right Room

Answer three questions from three different tomes.

“Of these two actions, which one regenerates MP?” Attacking.

“What is the name of the school you went to?” Zenith Academy.

Between the second and third tome, you might as well pick up the treasure here which is a Recipe: Mushroom Scramble.

“One very important Solstive Warrior duty is to destroy Dweller, who become vulnerable during which natural phenomenon?” Eclipse.

Once you answer, head on over to the next platform.

Elder Mist Trials - Center Room

A very basic “platforming” level. You’ll reach the end without issue. No loot. Once you’re back in the middle, save the game and rest up. We’re in for a boss next!

Boss: Elder Mist

As long as the Elder Mist Sword is alive, any attack on Elder Mist will trigger a massive AoE counterstrike. Kill the Sword each time its up - he revives it periodically. Be careful with skills like Moonerang that will hit Elder Mist opening you up to a counter. It’s a basic mechanic!

After this head on back to the Mountain Trail, and you’re introduced to a new mechanic - changing the time while you’re on these special runes. Continue onwards and you’ll end up in the world map on your way to Evermist Island’s Landing.

Evermist Island’s Landing

You might want to check if you've forgotten something in the previous sections before proceeding. Notably Leeching Thorn from the Forbidden Cavern is something you might miss. You'll be able to come back here LATER ON, though. And I mean later.

Once you’re ready to go, good ‘ol Elder Mist will tell you each your prophecies and quite literally send you off. This was unexpected and cool when I saw it the first time.
