Once Ever After walkthrough

Introduction
Welcome to the Once Ever After walkthrough. This walkthrough is intended to cover everything you would possibly want to know about every aspect of the game. Some sections of the game will allow you to make different decisions for different benefits and consequences. This walkthrough will cover the different options you can take while not assuming you have made specific choices. One point though is that the walkthrough will assume you have followed the guide up to that point. For example, the walkthrough may point out that you should do something which requires a specific Intelligence or Corruption value. The requirement will be listed so you can understand why you may need to come back later to complete that task.

This walkthrough will cover how to obtain every item you can obtain for free (in a chest, as a quest reward, etc.), every archetype, skill slot, point of Intelligence, point of Corruption, and sex scene.

Some content in this game is missable. When the walkthrough states that you can perform an action to proceed, expect that you are done with the area either for the time being or forever.

The guide rarely mentions how to equip your party members or which skills to use. You should always use what equipment and skills you think are best. Refer to the tips section below for more information.

General tips
Here are some general tips:
 * You can hold down Shift in combat to speed up animations.
 * You can press F4 to fullscreen the game.
 * You can press F5 to go back to the main menu. You can use this to quickly load a save file as appropriate.
 * You can hold down W to skip text.
 * You can turn Always Dash on in the menu.
 * You can turn Instant Text on in the menu.
 * You can hover your mouse over a reference to read it instead of clicking on it to be taken to the bottom of the page.

Gameplay tips

 * It is not recommended to sell equipment. A lot of equipment is unique and money should not generally be a concern.
 * You do not need to grind experience, archetype points, or money to win. However there are a number of useful pieces of equipment and skills so if you are struggling, there is no issue with doing so.  Fighting every battle once is a good idea in general to keep you strong enough to keep moving forward.
 * Agility is the most important stat as it determines when you get to take a turn. High Agility can also allow your party members to take multiple turns between enemy turns.

Equipment tips
Here are some equipment related tips:
 * It is usually ideal to have equipment on each character that prevents critical hits. If you reserve an accessory slot for this, it can be quick and easy to determine if someone has an accessory that blocks critical hits.
 * It is usually ideal to have equipment on each character that prevents status effects. If you reserve an accessory slot for this, it can be quick and easy to determine if someone has an accessory that blocks status effects.
 * This walkthrough lists enemy information in collapsible tables. You can look ahead to see if you are fighting enemies that inflict certain status effects.

Skill tips
Here are some skill related tips:
 * Do not neglect skills that increase your party members' stats. They are very valuable.
 * There are a lot of skills are locked behind other skills, including ones that only give stats.

Grim8P Note: The below skills are, in my opinion, some of the best skills in the game. This does not mean you should save up to buy them before anything else necessarily, but that in general getting them sooner than later is going to be best.
 * Little Bad Wolf
 * Wild Blows
 * Survivor
 * Cleaving Blow
 * Sorcerer
 * Fire Blast
 * Slayer
 * Slayer's Speed I through V.
 * Slay Flesh
 * Slay Spirit
 * Counterattack
 * Grandmother
 * Statis Field
 * Wave of Healing

Honorable mentions:
 * Any skill that debuffs Agility, such as Tackle from Little Bad Wolf and Bind from Sorcerer.
 * Forest Lore from Woodsman removes most status effects and debuffs.
 * Fey Voice and Ethereal Mana from Forestkin are both useful skills.
 * Smelling Salts from Herbalist gives you a way to resurrect someone outside of battle well before you gain a skill that works in battle.

Quest: Wilhelm's Tale - Part 1
Congratulations on surviving the wolf assault! You can now grind enemies for experience and archetype points as desired.

Grim8P Note: I recommend you fight each enemy in an area the the first time you visit, if you visit an area and things have changed significantly, or you notice the enemies have changed. Also potentially of note is that only some enemies respawn in a given area. This can change depending on the area but is generally true.

You can rest for free near the campfire Wilhelm set up. You should equip the Wolf's Claw if you got it. Take a moment to look at Wilhelm's skills.

Interact with the chest in the camp. Exit northwest. Interact with the portal to the north. Exit south. Exit southeast.

You can fight the roaming enemies before fighting the boss.

Fight the stationary enemy to the south to proceed.

Loot:
 * 5x Bread, 2x Water - Chest at the campsite.
 * 1x Iron Axe, 1x Reinforced Shirt, 1x Breastplate, 1x Torn Ribbon - Wilhelm's starting equipment.

Quest: Wilhelm's Tale - Part 2
You can interact with the items in Wilhelm's house for some of Ingrid's thoughts. Exit the building to proceed.

A quick note on archetypes and archetype points:
 * Each character only gains archetype points for the archetype they currently have equipped.
 * Some skills cannot be learned until you learn other skills in the same archetype. This includes the ones named after the archetype.
 * Some of the very best skills are locked behind the most expensive skills to unlock. Some skills are locked behind every other skill in the archetype.
 * The skills named after the archetypes provide a lot of stats. Do not forget to equip them.  Do not neglect them.
 * Ingrid's Slut skill is worth reequipping once you unlock Slut II.
 * Some equipment is only available to certain characters when they have specific archetypes equipped. It is a good idea to check party members' equipment after changing their archetype.

After the scene, you can equip the Woodsman archetype on Ingrid. Exit north. To the north of the camp Wilhelm took you to initially is a rock with a shiny spot. Interact with the shiny spot for a fight. Exit northeast.

Follow the path and interact with the chest to the east. Climb the stairs and interact with the log to push it off the cliff. Cross the gap via the log. Before climbing the stairs, head west then south into a hidden area. Interact with the hidden chest. Climb the stairs to the north. Head west for a scene. Continue west then south.

Exploring Hoodton - Part 1
Grim8P Note: There are a few different things you can spend your money on in this area. I recommend you scope everything out and wait until after the Red Arena before making any purchases.

Head west and enter the house for a scene. Exit north. Enter the inn and interact with the quest board to the northwest. Climb the stairs. Interact with the roaming woman in purple. Exit the inn.

Head east and enter the Hoodton Equipment Shop. Interact with the guard to unlock the ability to purchase the Guard archetype. You can purchase equipment from the woman in yellow. Exit the shop.

West one building is the Hoodton Item Shop. You can purchase consumable items and accessories here. You can find a closed portal just north of the Hoodton Item Shop.

Head south and enter the building. Interact with the woman and pay 100 Golden Coins to gain access to the Hoodton Library. Interact with the the bottom row west bookshelf. You can interact with the book on the pedestal to the north to learn about different status effects.

Head west and interact with the man in purple near a table. This man is cheating and will take your money if you play. You can come back here when Ingrid has 115+ Intelligence for a different result. Behind the man is a bar. You can successfully enter this bar once Ingrid has Corruption <= -30.

Head north across the bridge and then head east. You can successfully enter the warehouse once Ingrid has Corruption <= -50. For now, follow the path and enter the cave. You can successfully solve the very difficult Sokoban puzzle once Ingrid has 110+ Intelligence.

Head west then north. You can enter the next building much later in the game. Proceed east from the building to find a closed portal.

Exit Hoodton to the south. Exit west.

Optional:
 * There are lots of interesting conversations in town. In the Oldest Brother, the man in the southeast corner on the first floor and the order soldier on the second floor, for example.  Interact with people.

Intelligence:
 * - Hoodton Library - Bottom row west bookshelf.

Archetypes:
 * Hoodton > Hoodton Equipment Shop > Guard - Learn the Guard archetype for 50 Golden Coins.

Training in Hoodton - Part 1
You can rest for free on the bedroll inside Brunhilde's house to the southeast.

Explore Hoodton Forest while heading west. You can interact with a man in purple to learn the Lumberjack Archetype. In the southwest corner is a wolf guarding a cave. This is the entrance to the Wolf League. You cannot enter at this time. Exit west.

Grim8P Note: The first fight in Deep Forest is against three enemies. This can be a good fight to grind archetype points on. Enemies only grant 1 archetype point each for a while and this battle is easy.

Head north and interact with the woman in purple for a fight. Afterwards you will participate in a brief minigame. There is no reward for winning.

Your goal is now to reach the far northwest corner. This involves crossing a pond. To cross the pond, you must push a tree into the pond in order to cross the pond. Circle around to north to interact with it. There are also some chests you can interact with along the south of the map. There are two before you cross the water and one after.

After you cross the water and interact with the chest, head north to find the pool and a fight. You will be given the option to teleport back to Brunhilde. There is no benefit to remaining unless you want to continue exploring.

Enter Brunhilde's house. Interact with Brunhilde.

Loot:
 * 1x Heart Branch - Deep Forest - Southeast
 * 100 Golden Coins - Deep Forest - Southeast
 * 50 Golden Coins - Deep Forest - Southwest

Skills:
 * +1 skill slot for Ingrid - Obtained automatically after completing the quest.

Archetypes:
 * Hoodton Forest > Lumberjack - Learn the Lumberjack archetype for 100 Golden Coins.

Training in Hoodton - Part 2
Exit Brunhilde's house. Exit east twice. Once Ingrid has 110+ Intelligence, she can interact with the woman in yellow near the entrance for the Villager archetype. Head north into the walled area and interact with the guard for a scene. In the northeast corner is a green fairy. You can pay her 100 Golden Coins to learn the Forestkin archetype. You can interact with the group of Girls to the east for a scene. Enter the building north of the entrance.

Grim8P Note: The Forestkin archetype is one of the better options and maxing it out entirely is pretty quick and useful. You do not have to grind, but Silence immunity and skill costs being reduced can both be helpful. This is a good archetype to consider purchasing.

Read this next paragraph in full before you do anything. If you interact with the purple fairy, she can bless you. This gives you 50 JP for your Woodsman archetype. If you wait until after you beat the Peasant Cup, she can instead increase Ingrid's Intelligence.

Grim8P Note: Increasing Ingrid's Intelligence is a significantly better reward.

Interact with the older woman behind the east desk. Exit north. Continue to exit north to fight the next match. There is no penalty for losing. You can heal for free between matches at Brunhilde's house. After the last match, exit south to proceed.

Loot:
 * 100 Golden Coins - Obtained automatically by completing the first Red Arena cup.

Archetypes:
 * The Red Arena > Villager - Learn the Villager archetype by interacting with her with 110+ Intelligence.
 * The Red Arena > Forestkin - Learn the Forestkin archetype by paying the fairy in the northeast corner 100 Golden Coins.
 * Slayer - Obtained automatically by completing the first Red Arena cup.

Skills:
 * +1 skill slot for Ingrid - Obtained automatically by completing the first Red Arena cup.

Training in Hoodton - Part 3


Grim8P Note: You just unlocked the Slayer archetype for Ingrid. This archetype is one of the best in the game in my opinion. Slay Flesh and Slay Spirit are great throughout the entire game. Slayer's Speed increases the most important stat in the game. Counterattack and Swift Hit are also very good.

Rest before leaving as appropriate.

Regarding The Killing Fields:
 * Brunhilde recommends that you stay away from the monsters.
 * Ingrid recommends that you stay away from the monsters.
 * You should stay away from the monsters.

If you normally move with the mouse, you may find it easier to dodge enemies by using the arrow keys. If autorun is not on, you will want it on. Refer to the image as appropriate.

Interact with the chest to the southeast of the entrance. The pile of skulls along the bottom of the map. You can make it there by heading southeast or southwest. Interact with the skull pile. Exit north for a scene. Return to Brunhilde's House. Interact with Brunhilde to proceed.

Interact with Brunhilde to obtain a side quest.

Loot:
 * 1x Critical Bracer - Killing Fields - Chest towards the northeast corner. Southeast of the north entrance.

After collecting your winnings, rest in the bed as appropriate. You can interact with a guard near the north exit for a unique conversation.

Exit the lobby and head towards the forest. Interact with the woman in yellow wandering near the entrance. If Ingrid has 110+ Intelligence, the woman will unlock the Villager archetype for Ingrid's party.

Archetypes:
 * Villager - The Red Arena - Interact with the woman in yellow wandering outside near the entrance.

The Red Arena
You can compete in the Red Arena throughout the entire game. When you should complete each cup can depend on the skills you have learned and the amount of grinding you have or have not done. It is recommended that you attempt the next round of solo and group cups throughout the game and make progress as appropriate. It is highly likely you will not be able to completely beat the final sections of each until after you enter the post game content.

Training in Hoodton - Part 4
Return to Hoodton. Enter the cave with the Sokoban (boulder) puzzle. Push the boulders onto the three switches. Head north and interact with the green fairy Interact with the chest.

Head towards the Hoodton Library and interact with the girl in purple to play a dancing mini game. If you do not recall how to play the game, select "Explanation". Complete both the Set Dance and Random Dance perfectly. The dances are updated over the course of the entire game and you get a prize for completing all of them.

Purchase any items, equipment, and archetypes you would like before you continue as you will not be able to return for a bit. Interact with any of the following portals to proceed:
 * The portal near Brunhilde's house
 * The northern portal in Hoodton.
 * The southern portal in Hoodton.

Loot:
 * 1x Fairy Necklace - Hoodton Cave - Complete the Sokoban (boulder) puzzle and interact with the chest.
 * 1x Iron Fruit - Hoodton - Win the Random Dance.

Skill:
 * 1x Basket Potential - Hoodton - Win the Set Dance.

The Forest of Innocence
After a scene, you have a decision to make. Throughout this tale, you can decide to play along with the Voice or spread bloodshed throughout the tale.

You can spread bloodshed by doing the following:
 * Bloodshed for each group of local monsters you kill in the Innocent Clearing (where you first arrive).
 * Bloodshed for killing the enemy group where the game tells you to use the Escape command.
 * Bloodshed for each group of local monsters (the humans do not count) you kill in the Innocent Forest.
 * Bloodshed for each human group you kill after falling down the hole, excluding the first one where the Voice says you must run but you don't have the option.
 * Bloodshed for choosing to spare the villager in the northwest section of the Innocent Hills.
 * Bloodshed for interacting with the dead body to the west of the Innocent Cabin.

What Bloodshed does:
 * Towards the end of the section in the Innocent Cabin, you get a chest containing a Ring of Righteousness - Having Bloodshed <= 5 in the Innocent Cabin. for having Bloodshed <= 5.
 * In the Mysterious Dungeon, the game checks if you have 10+ Bloodshed for an optional fight, obtain a Broken Ring, and to set.
 * Much later in the game you can create the Sinful Ring from the Broken Ring.

Grim8P Note: The decision here is basically do you want an item throughout the entire game that is useful, or a better, more powerful item significantly later. I think a case can be made for either, but I lean towards high bloodshed being better as a personal preference for having the best equipment possible at the end of the game.

Equip Ulfina. Familiarize yourself with Ulfina's skills. Kill or do not kill the enemies in the area based on your preference, then make your way southwest for a scene. Exit west.

Escape from the battle as appropriate. You can interact with the chest to the northwest but you cannot loot it. Exit west to proceed.

Interact with the villagers blocking the east or west exits until Ingrid gains Intelligence and loses Corruption. If you touch a roaming villager you will be teleported away. There is no penalty for this. Exit north to proceed.

Exit north. Win the fight. Kill or ignore the humans in this area as appropriate. Interact with the villager to the northwest as appropriate. Exit northeast to proceed. Sex scene: Ingrid/Ulfina scene.

Interact with the chest if your Bloodshed was low and exit the building. Interact with the body to the west as appropriate. Interact with the chest in the northwest. Interact with the hole to the north to proceed.

Loot:
 * 1x Feral Claws, 1x Flower Necklace, 1x Wolf Cub Emblem - Ulfina's starting equipment.
 * 1x Ring of Righteousness - Innocent Cabin (Inside) - If Bloodshed <= 5.
 * 1x Heart Branch - Innocent Cabin (Outside) - Northwest

Intelligence:
 * - Try to talk it out with the villagers after they threaten Ulfina.

Corruption:
 * - Try to talk it out with the villagers after they threaten Ulfina.

Mysterious Dungeon


Interact with the pink blob three tiles north of your starting position. Head east to find a recovery spring. Interacting with it will fully heal your party. It also respawns certain enemies.

North of the recovery spring is another pink blob and a chest. Head back to the entrance to this area. Head west for a chest. Head back to the entrance to this area.

Head north for another pink blob. Head west for a chest but be warned, you'll be ambushed by a tough fight on your way to the chest (which will require you wrap around to the south and then back north).

Wrap back around so you can head north then east. If you have 10+ Bloodshed, you will see a light. Interacting with it will start an optional fight, obtain a Broken Ring, and to set.

 * SQ Infiltration score for each time you approach Snowberus guarding the main entrance from the north or south.
 * SQ Infiltration score for being caught (physically touched, resulting in you being teleported) by the dark grey enemies behind Snowberus and inside the fortress.  If they see you and run towards you but do not actually touch you it is fine.

Your SQ Infiltration score is checked after you complete the Snow Queen's Fortress. What SQ Infiltration does: These items are used much later in the game as crafting requirements. The Pure Ice Charm is better.

New Canisan is made up of two majors maps with the following features:

 * Canisan Weapon Shop - East
 * Canisan Armor Shop - Northwest, north of The Savage Claw
 * Canisan Accessory Shop - Southeast
 * Canisan Item Shop - Southwest
 * Canisan Inn - South, near the entrance to town.
 * The Savage Claw - Center

Enter Estra's house to proceed.

Prepare for what's next
The Vice in New Canisan quest is about finding some good in Canisan. We want to pick up the quests to complete during our stay here. To do so: With Canisan Quests >= 3, Wilhelm will benefit later.
 * New Canisan Slums
 * Enter the Shady Canisan Bar and interact with the man at a table to the north. Find his letter in the Canisan Sewer later and deliver it to him for Canisan Quests  and a New Canisan Ribbon.
 * Interact with the wolf who complains about being hungry to the north of the New Canisan Slums. Purchase a Meat Bun from the Canisan Item Shop and provide it to the wolf for Canisan Quests.
 * New Canisan
 * Interact with the woman behind the Canisan Inn. Purchase Poison from the Contraband House and provide it to her for Canisan Quests.
 * Enter The Savage Claw and interact with the man in green at the bar. Find his shovel in the Canisan Mine and deliver it to him for Canisan Quests  and 545 Golden Coins.

Enter the Contraband House for a scene. Reenter the Contraband House. There are items you can purchase on all four of the tables: Note: Before you spend your money, lots of enemies here inflict Filth You can buy equipment that blocks Filth inside New Canisan.
 * Southwest table box - Lockpicking Set - You want this before you leave New Canisan but you may want to spend your money on other equipment first.
 * Northwest table - Poison - Used for a Vice in New Canisan quest. It is not available later on in the game.
 * Northeast table - Magic Lamp - This item gives you a choice with many options.
 * If you are loosely following this walkthrough or have missed any Intelligence points, you will likely not be able to make an informed decision until much later and your money is likely better spent elsewhere for now. Refer to User:Grim8P/Walkthrough_(Once_Ever_After).
 * Grim8P Note: If you are following this walkthrough strictly, or have not missed an Intelligence point and will continue to not miss Intelligence points, my opinion is that you should buy the Magic Lamp and select "Artifact" for the Djinn's Ring.
 * Southeast table - Unscratched Bracer (Accessory) - Prevents Filth and Order. Blocks critical hits   +5 Defense and M.Defense, +10 Agility.  Keep this item in mind when you decide to purchase Filth blocking equipment.
 * Southeast table - Cracked Sphere - This item does not do anything until later. Purchase this later.

Purchase any equipment you want, keeping in mind you may eventually want Filth protection for everyone. Exit New Canisan.



Exit to the southwest. Enter the building. You can buy a Puzzle Box from the cloaked figure for 5000 Golden Coins. This gives Intelligence. Exit the building. Exit north. Exit southeast.

Loot the chests in this area. When you loot the chest with the Heart Branch you will start a scene and be given a choice:
 * "Take Heart Branch"
 * Gain 1x Heart Branch.
 * When you come back later, it will be better to burn the forest down. This gives you the best accessory for this area.
 * Burned Leaf (+15 to all stats except Max HP and MP, 25% damage reduction from Meta elemental attacks).
 * "Leave it"
 * You do not get the Heart Branch.
 * The chests in the area will spawn with slightly better loot later on.
 * When you come back later, it will be better to not burn the forest down. This gives you a slightly worse accessory but you also gain 5 permanent stat increasing consumable items.
 * Whole Leaf (+10 to all stats except Max HP and MP, 15% damage reduction from Meta elemental attacks).
 * 1x Fruit of the Body, 1x Fruit of the Mind, 1x Iron Fruit, 1x Magic Fruit, and 1x Swift Fruit.
 * 1x Fruit of the Body, 1x Fruit of the Mind, 1x Iron Fruit, 1x Magic Fruit, and 1x Swift Fruit.

Grim8P Notes:
 * The Heart Branch itself should probably not make the decision here for you. You can already have 5 for Brunhilde's quest and if not you can still get more later.  After 5, you can hand them to Brunhilde for archetype points but archetype points are also easy to grind.
 * The chests having better loot is also minimal, particularly at that point in the game.
 * The decision here is about the better accessory or the slightly worse accessory and the permanent stat increasing consumables. If you think you will use the accessory, or you just will not use the consumables, it is better to take the Heart Branch now and burn the forest down later.  Otherwise you should leave the Heart Branch now and not burn the forest down later.
 * My personal opinion is that the best version of this accessory is the 13th best accessory (or the 5th Other accessory as below). I set up accessory slots on characters as below so you may find this accessory more valuable if you do something else.
 * Critical hit blocking accessory
 * Status effect preventing accessory
 * Other (Stats)

Exit the forest.

Loot:
 * 1x Sphere of Order - Canisan Party Hideout Interact with the southwest shiny spot after leaving the room at least once. Requires Ambush Points >= 4.  This item is used in crafting later on.

Descend the southwest ladder. Descend the closest ladder. Interact with the chest. Climb the ladder. Climb the northeast ladder. Interact with the shovel.

If you have already given the Wolf a Meat Bun and the older woman the Poison, heading to The Savage Claw and handing the shovel in allows Wilhelm to collect a reward in the Canisan Armor Shop. This is worth doing if you were going to go back to New Canisan to heal anyway.

Dungeon of Dreams


This is your last chance to do anything in New Canisan for a while. You may also want to read ahead about Greed Points because the decision you make when tackling the next dungeon may make it preferable to bring more consumables than you may normally carry. Rest as appropriate. Purchase any items or equipment before you leave.

Purchase the Lockpicking Set from the Contraband House before you leave.

Enter the Discreet House and interact with the hooded figure to proceed.

Descend repeatedly. Before you immediately loot everything in sight, like with Ulfina's Tale there are consequences for your actions. You can gain Greed Points throughout this section. To do so:
 * for each treasure room you enter.
 * for each treasure chest you loot outside of a treasure room.

First section:
 * 3x Treasure rooms
 * 2x Stand-alone chests

Section section:
 * 3x Treasure rooms
 * 6x Stand-alone chests

At the end of the second section your Greed Points are checked. What Greed Points do:
 * If Greed Points >= 58
 * Corruption
 * If Greed Points 25-57

 * If Greed Points 1-9
 * Corruption and 2x Cracked Sphere
 * If Greed Points 0
 * Intelligence, Corruption, 2x Cracked Sphere, 1x Horn of Purity

Grim8P Note: Unlike in Ulfina's Tale, I think refusing all greed is much better both short term and long term. Refusing all Greed is also required to hit 200 Intelligence without using the magic lamp. However, this is a more difficult dungeon. Not having access to the recovery fountain makes it worse. You may need to prepare ahead of time by bringing more consumable items with you. Purchasing better equipment if you have not done so may also be worthwhile.

Loot the chests as appropriate. Head south. At the first intersection, head east for a chest. Head back west for a chest. Enter the center treasure room as appropriate. Interact with a blue flame on the pedestal to the southeast.

You cannot return to this area once you proceed. Enter the magic circle to the south to proceed.

This place is pretty straightforward. Refer to the image as appropriate. Once you have looted everything, return to the starting point. Head north and fight the red enemy to proceed. Sex scene: Frieda's scene.

Grim8P Note: This is one of the best archetypes in the game, with many useful skills. However the stats mean Ingrid and Hood can't take very many hits while using it. I would recommend switching to it for regular fights but switching it out for bosses. Alternatively, this is a good archetype to use Heart Branches for since you want to learn all the skills, unequip it, and never equip it again.

To play along the story, complete the following:
 * Do not go down any side paths. Stay on the main white path.
 * When you find Red Cap, interact with the basket of food and interact with Red Cap to give it to her. Fable Correct
 * When you find Red Cap and the wolf, interact with Red Cap and select "Turn towards flowers". Fable Correct
 * When you find the grandmother's house and enter it, if, Fable Correct.
 * When you attempt to enter the grandmother's house, you'll take a step back and a chest will appear containing a Purity Ribbon .  Interacting with the chest also gives Corruption.
 * Enter the grandmother's house to proceed.
 * When given the choice to "Refuse to listen" or "Listen" to the Dark Dreamer, select "Refuse to listen".
 * When given the choice to "Accept" or "Reject" the dreamer's help, select "Accept". Fable Sins   This fully heals your party and each party member gains the Dreamer Aura state.

To go against the story, complete the following:
 * Go down at least one side path to set.

Magic Lamp decision
Head to New Canisan > New Canisan Slums > Contraband House. All of the items here are useful, however the magic lamp is an item you can buy and choose what benefit you want:
 * Health
 * Individual: 1000 Max HP
 * Everyone: 200 Max HP to everyone
 * Magic
 * Individual: 250 Max MP
 * Everyone: 50 Max MP to everyone
 * Wealth: 9999 Golden Coins
 * Artifact: Djinn's Ring (Accessory)
 * Skill
 * Individual: +3 skill slots
 * Everyone: +1 skill slot for everyone
 * Intelligence: Intelligence

Grim8P Notes:
 * The Health and Magic options are probably not the best choice. You can use Cracked Spheres for these instead.
 * The Wealth option is absolutely not worth it. You can grind for money whenever you want.
 * The Intelligence option is a failsafe to hitting 200 Intelligence. You can cap Intelligence by getting every other Intelligence gain throughout the game.  Intelligence after 175 is not useful outside of two items.
 * I personally think the best option is the Djinn's Ring, especially if you can purchase it right away. I think having more skill slots is the next best use but you can end the game with a large number of skill slots for each party member.  Without the Djinn's Ring, there are only 3 end game items that block all status effects.  This isn't particularly a problem but there are a lot of good accessories so why use two accessories when you could use one?

 * 125-149 Intelligence - 3x: 5 Experience, 2 Archetype Points, 2 Gold
 * 150-174 Intelligence - 3x: 10 Experience, 3 Archetype Points, 3 Gold
 * 175-199 Intelligence - 4x: 25 Experience, 4 Archetype Points, 4 Gold
 * 200-999 Intelligence - 5x: 50 Experience, 5 Archetype Points, 5 Gold
 * You can quickly gain a lot of Archetype Points, especially if you give someone or everyone a Bell of Tasks from the Hoodton Library.
 * In Brunhilde's House, interact with Brunhilde and use up any Heart Branches before you start grinding any archetype skills as appropriate.
