Ashen Steps opens Chapter 8 by introducing Maegu and Woosa as major allies. The route combines beach exploration, ritual item collection, Shadow Harpy combat, and a rescue at Fort Ironclad.
Collect Ritual Items
At the shipwreck, recover the talisman from debris, lift the southern part of the wreck with Nature’s Grasp for the censer, and search south of the wreck for the bell.
Reach Fort Ironclad
Maegu’s ritual points Kliff toward Woosa. On the way, prioritize Shadow Harpies with Focus Light from Blinding Flash before fighting soldiers.
Defeat Gregor
Inside Fort Ironclad, Gregor the Halberd of Carnage is manageable if you avoid arena traps. After the fight, carry Woosa back on horseback to reunite the sisters.
Quick Tips
- Clear Shadow Harpies before soldiers if both groups notice you.
- Watch the floor traps during Gregor.
- Grab Red Seaweed at the beach if you need stamina materials.
