Walkthrough[]

  • Quick summary (since this article is long)
    • Enlist in a nation.
    • Complete that nation's three required quests.
    • Click on a Jeuno-area Cavernous Maw for a cutscene.
      • If also on RoV mission Cauterize, Cauterize's cutscene will be appended at the end of this WotG mission's cutscene. Both cutscenes mark the end of their respective mission.
  • Decide which nation's army you want enlist in and talk to the corresponding NPC:
  • You only need to follow one nation's story to advance in Wings of the Goddess.
  • Below is described the road to take to walk from the starting Maws to the past Nations. Those roads involves walking one past version of neighboor beastman strongholds zone (Pashhow Marshlands [S], Meripathaud Mountains [S] or Jugner Forest [S]) plus a new WotG zone (Grauberg, Fort Karugo-Narugo or Vunkerl Inlet). This road is considerably long to walk by foot/mount so you should consider, prior to starting WotG, obtaining rank 3 in your present home nation to unlock VW. After you get this content unlocked, you can visit each Voidwatch Officer in Bastok Markets (D-11), Southern San d'Oria (F-9), Windurst Waters (G-5) to receive Indigo Stratum Abyssite, Crimson Stratum Abyssite and Jade Stratum Abyssite KIs, which will allow you to use VW teleport from Atmacite Refiners in Batallia Downs (S), Sauromugue Champaign (S) or Rolanberry Fields (S) close to the entrance of any past nation, despite having visited it previously or no, at a cost of 1000 cruor, but saving time in this long trip.
  • If you decide to run:
    • Mounts can be used in [S] areas. You can use them to speed things up and to avoid aggro on the way.
    • Activate any Cavernous Maw you find on the way. With the exception of the first maw used to begin the storyline, maws cannot be used to go from the present to the past before they've been used at least once to go from the past to the present.
    • Activate any Survival Guide you find on the way for easy accesss.
    • Get the Jugner / Pashhow / Meriphataud gate crystal from the telepoint on the way to San d'Oria / Bastok / Windurst respectively.
    • If you pass through Batallia Downs (S), there's a Lycopodium (NPC) on a small ramp leading to the zone with Beauceadine Glacier [S]. If you head to Bastok, there's a similar NPC on a ramp connecting the west and east portions of North Gustaberg. Make sure you interact with them once. This will allow you to teleport up and down in the corresponding present day areas.
    • Finally, when you reach the city of your choice, activate the Home Point crystal.

Southern San d'Oria (S)[]

Windurst Waters (S)[]

Notes[]

  • Only one initiation quest must be completed. After completing it, you may switch allegiances by talking to that nation's representative. If it is your first time allying with that particular nation, the transfer will be free, but if you have allied with them previously, transferring requires 300 Allied Notes and your top two Campaign Medals, if you have any.
  • If you choose to examine the Cavernous Maw in Sauromugue Champaign (S), you may see a cutscene regarding your Adventuring Fellow instead. Be sure to examine the maw once more to complete the quest.

Game Description

Mission Orders
Hideous statues. Monstrous beasts. The otherworld that lies in between. Could this war-torn land you have been thrust into truly be the outskirts of Jeuno?
