Tales of Graces F Walkthrough Part 1 – Childhood Arc: Lhant Hill
Once the install is done and the game is ready to play, Asbel will be asked by Hubert if you are really going up to Lhant Hill. After some talking, the pair departs. Head forward and to the left to find a chest with 3 Apple Gels. To the right you will enter a pair of Giant Bees.
Combat Tutorial
You get the combat tutorial on the most basic element, attacking (by hitting “X”). After that, it is explained that by point the Left Thumbstick Up, Down, Left or Right, you will change your strike. Use this battle to get more practice on the Bees to get a better understanding of how to potentially create a basic combo.
After the battle, it will explain that you can find more battles tips through the Library's Users Guide in the same title.
Head a bit more to the right and you will encounter a Wolf Pup. Defeat it (With the goal of a 4 Arte Chain) then look above you to find a spring. Hit Select to witness a Skit between Hubert and Asbel. Now head to the right of the fountain. Here you will find a chest with a Glassphere inside it. Collect it then turn to the North. As you move North, you will spot the Save Point but also get pulled into another combat with two Wolf Pups.
Combat Tutorial
In this combat it is explained you can block attacks with “Square”. Doing so reduces the damage you receive and cuts the chance that an opponent can stagger you with their attacks.
After the fight, head opposite the Save Point and open the chest partially cover by a bush to receive a Life Bottle. Now use the Save Point. Head North into the next section of the area.
Here Hubert and Asbel are awed by the Tree they find there. Hubert panics slightly as he notices that someone is there among the flowers. Here they meet a girl who, when questioned, just stares at them. After an interesting cutscene, they finally introduce themselves and ask the girl a few questions that she has no answers for. At the end of it though, the girl will come back to town with you and the party will receive the Plucked Flower.
Head south back to the previous screen. Visit the Save Point to trigger a Skit between the Girl, Hubert and Asbel.
Engaging the nearby Bee has your party go up against a Giant Bee and two Filifolia Buds. The fox that roams where the second chest was is a variety fight and part of the combat tutorial.
Combat Tutorial
Press the Left Thumbstick to the left or right as you press “Square” to quick step. By doing this, you can quickly maneuver around an enemy as well as create opens by dodging their attacks. This technique can be used even as you are moving or attacking.
Visit the Fountain if you are weakened from the fights. Head to the left from there and run into the Bee to fight two Wolf Pups and a Giant Bee. Continue to the left then head down to reach North Lhant Road.
