Tailing the Truth Walkthrough (Chapter 1.1)
[1] Investigate the Earth Shrine.
You now play as Rain, one of the captain knights. You head to the Earth Shrine with your right-hand man. Lasswell. You can explore the castle a bit to get some items before proceeding to the airship.
When asked questions, you will given a couple of options. The answer may increase some select stats.
You can buy some items from the soldier before going inside the dungeon or rest by talking to the other soldier. You can also collect usable items from the nearby chests.
The pink glowing circle indicates a Save Point. You can save at this area to act like a checkpoint and can use a tent to recover your HP and MP. A tent is a usable item that can be bought from shops.
Make your way through the dungeon. When the mini-map starts to beep and turn red, that means an enemy encounter is coming up.
Levelling up allows you to gain new skills. Each list of skills available will be different per character.
Before going forward with the stairs leading north, you can go east and collect a Bulletproof Vest. This can be good armor for one of your party members.
Rain and Laswell will have a conversation and will point out that at the entrance of the chamber is a giant monster. There is a Save Point right ahead. You can save here, explore some more, or Fast Travel back to the entrance. You can also use your tent for healing. When you are ready, face the enemy.
[2] Defeat Belmodar.
This serves as a mini-boss battle! It introduces the Stagger system, where you can stun enemies when you bring down their stun meter to 0. Normal attacks affect the bar, but you can significantly reduce the bar by using the enemy's weakness.
In this case, it is Fire!
When you stagger an opponent, you get the Bonus Phase where the attacker gets an extra turn. When you get a Sweeping Stagger, everyone in the party gets an extra turn.
When you see the enemy icon have an exclamation mark on the turn order, it means that it is readying for a Devastating Attack. Stagger it to avoid the attack or defend yourselves!
Head to the Crystal Chamber.
[3] Go to Mitra.
You are the only survivors of the airship crew. Go to your hometown of Mitra first before going back to the kingdom.
In the world map, you can save at any point. You can also occasionally pick up items on the ground. They are indicated by sparkles, as seen in the lower left of the picture below. Similarly to a dungeon, a red map and beeping indicate an enemy encounter.
There are many random chests around town. You can also buy supplies and equipment in the various shops. Head to your home and examine the door at the backside.
Continue through the passageway and interact with the crystals. You will receive the Visions White Mage (Leah) and Black Mage (Tronn). Assign the Visions to your party as you see fit. The Visions may complement the character or help diversify their skill set.
[4] Check on the Kingdom, Grandshelt.
Head to the capital. It is in the south of the continent.
The kingdom is on fire. You can save at the entrance and heal. You can also buy some supplies if you need them.
Charlotte will join your party. She acts as a temporary ally, and you cannot change her settings. Charlotte does good damage and helps in manpower against the enemies.
When you activate a Sweeping Stagger, you can activate Resonance, where the Vision can do a certain skill. It may be healing, damage-dealing, or buff application.
Later on, you will have your first battle that can inflict Status Ailments. These can be cured using items or the magic Esuna.
[5] Save the King.
Charlotte departs from the party, and you go to save the king. On the way out, you meet the Black Armored person. You are only saved by a mysterious girl...
