With everything concluded for now at the Wallbridge, it is time to set off to the north. You will find a mass of troops waiting for you there to see you. Start heading north and get ready to be social.

South Borna Highroad
A Save Point is waiting just to the left of where you enter the Highroad. Move over to it for the skit, “Hard to Justify”. Head up the hill past the Save Point. To the right of the chest, you may spot a Sparkling Point. Just keep to the north after that.

You will spot a soldier to the left who will give you 3 Peach Gels. Head farther North to find the next person on the left, they will not give you anything outside of encouragement. Now go to the line of soldiers nearby the cabin. As you talk with them, you will gain access to the skit, “Going Commando”.

Talk with the one of the far left to receive 3 Apple Gels, the one to the right of him will give you an All-Divide,  the one after him gives an Elixir, after that is a gift of 3 Life Bottles, 1 Hourglass and 3 Panacea Bottles. Now head over to the east and turn north at the water to re-enter the Barona Catacombs. As you approach, passing the Save Point, you will get access to the skit, “A Seven-Year Blur”.

Barona Catacombs
Start heading to the north, along the path in front of you. Follow it all the way back to the main path. Once there, head to the first split in the path and go to the right, onto the bridge. There, you will find the chest replenished. Loot it to receive a “Book of Perfection”. This book replenishes Eleth when you win a battle without taking any damage. Now head back to the juncture, head forward, then take the lower path to the left. Follow it to the end on the right to find 1 Core Dust. Back track to the left and you will find a Mysterious Liquid. Now head back up to the left.

Follow this path to the wooden portion. On there you will find a chest with 2 Panacea Bottles. Continue on to the next split in the path. Head up at this juncture to find a chest with 240 units of eleth. Go to the left instead and you will find a Bottle of Mysterious Liquid. Head down

Inside there you will find the discovery, “Grace of the Unsung” and the skit, “Burial Plans”. Inside is also a chest of 1,800 gald. Now head back out to the main hallway and head up the hill. You will find a Save Point and you will want to head to the right of it, up into the Castle Secret Passage

Castle Secret Passage
When Asbel emerges into the Passage, the party finds Richard surrounded by corpses of his squad. He will join your party and for once you have 5 people and after you can swap in Richard. Head North first, going up the stairs, then to the west. You will find a chest with 2 Peach Gels inside it. Now head back down to the South and head to the east. You will find a block in your way, so push it east so you can cross the bridge. In the next chamber is a dying soldier who has a warning for you. Head up the stairs to the north into the next room. Head to the East in this next room. You will find another block to push to the East. It will bridge the gap in front of you. Now head up the stairs to the north in the room beyond.

Head to the West and you will find 2 blocks to deal with this time. The closer one you need to push South once and West twice. The second block needs to be pushed East Once, South Twice and West Three Times. Now head West across the bridged gap and go up the stairs into the next room. There is a cutscene with Richard struggling with his inner demon/poison. In the next room you will find, head North to find a chest to the East with a Mastery Tonic C inside it. Now head back south 1 room and go to the west. You will spot a bright green vase, look at it for the Discovery, “Twin Vases” which triggers the skit, “Separate Worlds”. Head into the next chamber where you will find a Save Point.
