Head to the room with everyone inside it, which is down the stairs, to the East and through the third door. There Asbel will reunite with Malik who gains the titles, “Prisoner of War” and “Dismissed Captain”. Head back to the West, to the room below the Throne Room. Stop at the Save Point for the skit, “A Touching Moment”. From there, head South to reach Barona and the Inn.

Head to the west in the Lower City District to make your way over to the Port, to the west, and from there to the East Lhant Highroad.

Port to Barona
Just head West to reach East Lhant Highroad.

East Lhant Highroad
Head back down the Road to the West. Follow it to the Save Point in front of the Roadside Cottage. There you can trigger the skit, “The Orlen Report”. Be sure to head inside and talk with the man who has a smiley face above their head. This will also get Malik the “Silver Hunk” title. Head out of the Cabin and start to the South, then West.

There will be a cutscene as you approach the gate. Asbel will want to sneak in through the canal below. Head back and go to the North, going down to the river. Head over to the gate and you can get into Lhant using the Canal Entrance.

Lhant
It has been a while since you were here. Head West until Asbel passes under a bridge. From there, head to the left and then head to the East, up the grassy slope. Time to take care of things around the town before progressing the story. First head for Cheria's House which is nearby the gate entrance to the west. Go to the star and Sophie will plant the Nightlily and Canola Seeds that have been found when it Asbel interacts with the star twice more. Now head to the Lhant Manor in the East. Before you head into the Office to the West, be sure to turn in any Lhant Request Asbel has outstanding. Be sure to have some armor for Hubert so he will not just drop when he is hit hard. Now it is time to head into the Office and set the stage for a battle against Richard with Asbel, Sophie and Hubert. After the brothers talk, head outside. Enjoy the cutscenes before the battle.

Richard
Weaknesses: Human, Impact, Nova, Paralyse
It is important to have Lightning Strike setup on Asbel so you can destroy Richard's Nova Barrier. Be sure to immediately equip some armor on Hubert if you unequipped his armor earlier. Keep an eye out for him restoring the Barrier which you will need to destroy with another Lightning Strike. He will flash red to show the Nova Barrier has been restored.

Aside from that, keep the pressure on him. It is much easier to simply attack frequently with Nova Element attacks to ensure that Richard can never rise he barrier for long.

After the battle, Richard and Sophie have an Aura battle then the chapter comes to a close after another cutscene.
