The Last Remant Walkthrough

This encounter is actually fairly simple. Start by using your mystic arts to take care of the smaller plants moving throughout the area. They'll all go down fairly easily, but it may take 2 or 3 turns. When they're gone, you're left to focus on the larger one. It can do more damage, particularly since it's capable of poisoning your party members with an expansive mist. Be sure that you keep up your health at this point, but also keep in mind that you're near the end of the battle and should also manage as many powerful attacks as possible to finish things up before your resources dwindle too far. All in all, it's not that difficult.

Following the boss battle, you'll be returned to Athlum to watch a series of cutscenes. When they conclude, Rush is alone in the city's market area. You'll receive the ability to make unions and Torgal and Emma's squads will leave your party. A nearby guard (he has a red text bubble over his head) explains that you can head to the pub for information or to the guild to expand your party. Both are excellent ideas.

Inside the guild.

Outside the pub.

From the town map, head to Virtus Parish. Once you're there, head left along the alley to find the guild. Here, you can hire new leaders to join your group (along with their crew). The cost to do so is 700c apiece. You should have more than enough funds to add them, so go ahead and do so. Make sure that you assign your crew to a formation so that they'll back you up in battle when needed. While you're in Athlum, you can also check out the various guild tasks and receive credit for any that you may have accidentally completed.

Now you're good to head to the pub (the building with the picture of the large glass on a sign to the right of its door, located straight ahead of you from where you first enter the Virtus Parish area). This is a great place to receive side quests throughout the game. There's one available right now, in fact, if you talk to the lady with the red text bubble over her head (she'll assign you the "A Day's Beginning" quest, which is a good warm-up quest). You'll find information on completing the quest in the "Quests" section of this guide, if interested.

When you've returned successful from that first quest, talk to the bartender and he'll mention the city of Celapaleis to the northwest. This is worthwhile because it'll open up a new area to explore when you return to the world map. You can (and should) also talk to the lizard-like creature with a red text bubble over his head to receive another simple quest (look for directions on how to complete it in the 'Quests' section of this guide). Once you've done that successfully, exit to the world map and save your progress.

Now it's time to return to Dillmoor. Head back up to where you fought the boss not long ago. In that area where the huge glowing ball is situated, you'll see a treasure chest near one of the crumbled stone pillars. Open it to find Healershield and Superior Necklace. If you haven't been already, this is also a good time to level up the members of your union. The monsters in this general area seem to reward you quite nicely, so hang out and kill a few of them before using the nearby device to teleport back to the world map. Then save your progress and head to Celapaleis.
