Rescuing the Ydas Crew is the 2nd chapter of Star Ocean The Divine Force and in this guide, we will tackle all the necessary locations that players will need to know upon playing this game.

Rescuing the Ydas Crew: Galca Shrine

At the beginning of the chapter, players will need to leave the village to get to the Edahli Region. From outside the village, head to the east til players reach the Galca Shrine. The area is filled with chests that can be found before entering the deeper. Then, look for the escape pod that crashed landed, and another new ally, Elena will join. But before getting the pod, defeat the enemies looking at it. From here on out, the story will change depending on who did players choose as their main character.

Rescuing the Ydas Crew: Ray Path

Ray’s story will have us immediately heading to the nearby Shrine to go find Elena. The area where he will travel is very small and confusing to get through. There will be some stronger enemies that will give a slight advantage in leveling up plus a couple of chests found. Afterward, head to Elena’s pod but will notice that she is missing some parts.

Fast travel to Larcasse Weald and return to the pod that Raymond was in. Another fight will begin as you approach it. then, collect the parts inside the pod and warp back to Elena’s pod.

Suddenly, Living Armors and Puppet Masters will arrive and try to block your path on returning back to Elena. Defeat them and reapproach the pod. But, an unexpected encounter will occur as a man with horns appears and challenges you. Defeat first his minions and then deal with him. Be wary as he possesses ice attacks and his melee attacks pack a punch. Use Midas as much as possible to let him take potshots while he tries to hit you. Once all is done, Elena will join the team and will lead off to the next mission.

Rescuing the Ydas Crew: Laeticia Path

In Laeticia’s path, players will need to head to Larcette Village and ask around about a comet that came crashing down. Talk to the old lady near the entrance of the village and then, travel to Delryk Village. Upon reaching the village, go to the hospital and talk to the Marquis for a short cutscene.

Head straight to the hospital in the plaza and talk to Dr. Vahnel inside to trigger a scene. then, head to the bar where a pair of men outside are talking about a strange man with purple skin seen coming out of the comet. Return back to the hospital and pick up Nina and leave the port.

In the Del’vyr Region, head south where a short cutscene will occur and players will fight a boss character whose origin is known and matches the description of what the witnesses saw. Be careful of his sword attacks especially when they glow red and defeat first the enemies around him.

Afterward, head to Galca Shrines, where players will meet up with Ray and the whole group will be reunited.

Rescuing the Ydas Crew: Seeking a boat to Cotto

The next objective now for the crew is to go to the Seaport of Rydal. From there, head to the hospital as a new cutscene will occur and Raymond and the crew will end back at the hotel in disguise. after which, head to Mida’s room where he has fallen sick.

After learning what has happened, head to the roof of the tavern and use the D.U.M.A to examine the area. Go to the entrance of the port and go south. then, head to the roof of a house to examine again the area and there will be some DP that can be gathered. Now head to the pier and there will be samples that can be collected. Gather them and return to the hospital to get a cure for the sickly people including Midas.

After curing Midas, the crew must head through the Seaport of Cotto through the Hallowed Mount Galca-Lemthas.

The boss battle that players will meet is known as SAMPATI, THE HOLY BIRD. This large bird is very tough and is hard to aim especially when it flies. Beware of its Wind Gusts as it spreads around the map. Avoid it as possible and also avoid getting hit by the Flame Spires as they can leave burn damage that will hurt both the HP and AP of your party. It is highly recommended to have Nina in your party to continuously heal your party and resurrect knockout party members. Use magical attacks to hit the giant bird as possible and the boss will be defeated.

After the boss battle, a few cutscenes will play and players can find a Dillwhip that they will need. Head back to the Cotto and talk to Theo. Then, talk to Albaird to trigger another scene and rest at the inn.
