With Juno and Filia weaving Nyx’s Spire and defeating Ranga Lingua Magna in the north, it’s time to return to the ground and free Sundalan from Nyx’s curse.
This walkthrough will cover Alabaster Dawn‘s Freeing Sundalan questline.

Freeing Sundalan – Through The Lost Lands
After Juno and Filia wake up from their rest, head southeast and follow the path until you reach a Waysprout. Rest there, then continue through the eastern path. If numerous giant grass blocks your way, use the Divine Chakram to clear them out.
Take a few steps forward, and an encounter will begin. While the first Nuemera are normal, the next wave will introduce new Grass Nuemera that can’t be damaged with the Divine Hammer. Use the Divine Sword (any element) to defeat them faster.
River Road
In the next area, break the yellowish Nyx’s Cyst behind the giant grass to drop the wall before you. Patiently walk through the exhausts that blow out fumes, and you will automatically step on the next Nyx’s Cyst to create a safe path for Filia.
To stop the permanent fumes ahead, push Nyx’s Lump into the spherical suspenders and then pass it forward to the tentacles. Cross the gap and interact with the rings for Filial; she will spawn two crystals.
Break the crystal at the bottom first, and push Nyx’s lump into the second spherical suspender. Now, break the top crystal to spawn the third suspender and then push the lump onto the platform with the tentacles. Lastly, catch the lump and forward it to the tentacles to open the path to an encounter with a new Nuemera.
This Nuemera will throw Chakrams from its tail and burrow into the ground to follow you. You can use any weapon to damage them. Follow the road to find numerous exhausts blowing fumes. One of them is permanent. Turn left, break the rocks, and cut the giant grass to create an opening to the cyst and stop all fumes at once.
Walk by the pond, and defeat all the Nuemera in its surroundings to drop the wall and continue on the path. And from here, you will enter Stone Call Inn.
Stone Call Inn
As soon as you step inside Stone Call Inn, an encounter will begin. Another new Nuemera called Motoyaki will join the field, and its rushing attack can break your parry; stay at a safe distance and keep attacking it. If you see a counter on its head, rush to its back to avoid an attack that spreads across the entire arena.
Once it is defeated, use the rings above. Break the nearest crystal to stop the fumes, then cross them. The crystal is time-sensitive, so make haste. Do the same with the second crystal, and step on the floor switch. Rush towards Nyx’s Cyst to disable the fumes for Filia.
Defeat the next encounter and continue moving to the objective’s marker on the map.
Sol Gate Bridge
Interact with the Waysprout to replenish your HP and heals; cook food if you’d like to receive temporary upgrades. Reach the Sol Gate Bridge, and after Juno and Filia remember how things were, a memory of Eshrin, her, and Filia.
When it ends, jump to the land at the bridge’s bottom left to initiate another encounter. Defeat the Nuemera, and move left to reach the other end of the bridge. Defeat the numerous Nuemera, and go left to find another puzzle with rings and electric barriers in the Old Farm.
Old Farm
Interact with the Rings (Wise Panel) and hit the crystal to spawn a continuously moving platform; it also has a purple block on top of it. Wait for the platform to move to the bottom right, then hit the golden hand to initiate a chain electric attack to break the first barrier.
Get in the center, then hit the golden hand when the moving platform’s block reaches the middle. Cross the next barrier, and then hit the golden hand again to chain the electricity on the left-most barrier generating pillar, and step on the cyst to complete this puzzle.
Now, continue on the path, defeat the Nuemera, and enter the North Bend.
North Bend
First, clear the encounter in the North Bend, then go north. Drop into the platforms in the waters, and clear the giant grass to create a path. Another encounter will begin, and the grass Nuemera will be hidden with the giant grass; clear them out with the Divine Chakra.
With the barrier dropped, move forward to meet an “Oversized Vulture” boss with no name. However, just shooting projectiles at its head will make it retreat. From here, continue your journey ahead to finally reach the objective’s location in the Southern Entrance area.
Southern Entrance
There is another puzzle that you have to solve. It isn’t something complex, as you have to time your moments to move through the exhaust fumes. Go left to fight an encounter and clean the rest of the fumes. Unfortunately, Sundalan’s gate is broken, and from here, head east and complete another exhaust fume puzzle.
Before traversing through the pathways, throw a projectile inside the golden mechanism. With your second ranged weapon, change the element and hit Nyx’s Cyst to your left; changing the elements doesn’t call back the projectile. Step on the final Nyx’s Cyst to clear the way for Filia, then continue moving east.
There are two areas before you: Impact Crater and Beacon O’ Hello. Beacon O’ Hello is unreachable, so head towards Impact Crater. Use the nearby Waysprout to rest, and then follow the road.
Impact Crater
After the Waysprout, jump across the gap in the water and move southeast. Keep moving across the numerous gaps to find the second massive Nyx’s Nest. Before you can approach it, numerous Nuemera will appear.
After defeating them, Grandis Molis, a massive mole boss, will appear.
Grandis Molis Boss Fight
Grandis Molis can dig into grounds for surprise attacks. Similar to the normal mole Nuemera, it throws a Chakram towards the player. In the first phase, it only has two attacks: a Chakram throw that can be parried, and a surprise attack after immediately returning to the ground, which can be dodged.
Parrying the Chakram will give you a substantial amount of time to get into the boss and damage it with your weapons. Additionally, if you keep dodging and find the right window, you can attack it. When it’s staggered, go all out with the attacks.
The second phase begins with a new attack called Ultra Spin. Grandis Molis will cover itself in numerous rocks and giant grass, blocking you as it charges up its attack. Make haste, break the obstacles, and keep attacking the boss until it stops charging up Ultra Spin.
However, if you fail, Molis will leave out numerous rings throughout the entire arena that spin for around 15 seconds, and will incorporate other attacks, giving you little to no time to breathe. In this phase, the underground-swing attack will include two additional swings.
Everything remains the same in the final phase. So, parry and dodge the attacks until its health bar is depleted. Suddenly, at the final stretch, Juno will become empowered and then deal the defeating blow to Grandis Molis to end this battle.
Post Grandis Molis Boss Fight
With Grandis Molis defeated, Juno and Filia will walk forward to weave Nyx’s Nest. However, Juno will fall unconscious, and all life will return to Sundalan.
After a week, Juno wakes up and meets Miss Nerba, someone who trained her during the chosen training.
