In this walkthrough, I’ll cover The Adventures of Elliot‘s Mist Ruins quest and further progress the main story.
After being tasked with exploring the unexplored ruins by King Hichard, Elliot follows the orders. However, right after defeating the Greatsword Guardian, Princess Heuria reports that numerous adventurers were attacked by monsters in the Mist Ruins, and without thinking twice, he decides to help them.

Heading To Mist Ruins
Once learning about Magicites and how to form them, it’s now time to head towards the Mist Ruins to help those adventurers. Before departing, I would suggest visiting the shop in Kingdom of Huther to buy items to assist you in battles.
To be able to buy the magic potion, you must have an empty glass vial in possession; it’s also available in the shop for 120 Til. After buying the potions/items, exit the shop and leave the kingdom from the northern gate. From there, you will enter Northern Hucarea, which also has an unmissable Adventurer Guidepost.
The right path is a dead end with numerous enemies and long grass that you can cut to find Til and health. Go in the opposite direction and follow the clear path; it will lead you to the objective. Here, you will find numerous boulders blocking the road, but you can’t do anything about them yet.
Continue moving north to enter Neverwither, a region protected by the Chicken Beast Tribe. Its enemies lunge at you with their spears, and to avoid them, press Shift to use your shield. Before the entrance to the ruins, you will find a chest with Shield Repair Magicite in western Neverwither.
Note: The Shield Repair Magicite replenishes your stamina bar with every successful hit.
After picking up the Magicite, head inside Mist Ruins.
Mist Ruins
Inside the Mist Ruins, you will immediately find an Adventurer Guidepost. Activate it, then move north to find four snail enemies at an intersection. Defeat them and don’t let them surround Elliot, as in a group, their attack can become overwhelming.
Turn right and defeat the two spider enemies. However, the door behind them will be locked. Return to the intersection and turn left to find two platforms defended by arrow traps.
Time your jumps and unlock the chest ahead to find a Blue Mist Ruins Key. Open the door in the spider’s room, then descend the staircase to your right to reach Mist Ruins’ lower level and find a Tul Purse containing 90 coins inside.
Return to the first level, and go left to defeat the Chicken Beast and four snail enemies. Continue moving left to find an arrow trap that fires at massive speed. To avoid it, go south and circle the platform with a descending staircase, then drag the stone to the red button; use it to block the arrows.
Doing so will provide you with a Boomerang Magicite, but you don’t have the weapon yet. Now, climb the ladder and visit Sublevel One. Go south to initiate a mandatory ambush, and after defeating the enemies, go right to find one of the adventurers unconscious. He will leave after you wake him up.
Then, move forward to defeat numerous monsters, and push the massive platform into the middle of two others above; it will come in handy later.
Go to the room to your right to find another unconscious adventurer. Wake him up, and then move south while avoiding the arrow traps. There, by ascending the staircase, you will return to a secret room on the First Level with a chest.
Avoid all the traps, jump across the platforms, and open the chest to find the Guard Counter Magicite. Return to Sublevel One from where you came, and go left to find a descending staircase leading to Sublevel Two; don’t forget to wake up the unconscious adventurer behind it.
You will find Oliver there, but despite his struggle to stay awake, he passes away in Elltio’s arms. He asks Princess Heuria to resurrect him using her magic, but, unfortunately, she reveals that no magic exists to bring someone back to life.
After witnessing Oliver’s tragic fate, continue exploring the ruins. Drop down the ladder to find two new Chicken Beastmen enemies that shoot arrows while flying. Let them get close, and hit them when you have the chance.
This path will lead you to a massive hall full of enemies. Carefully defeat them all, and go top left to find a red treasure chest. However, you will have to place the three platforms in the correct position to reach it. Check the image below for their placements, and then jump across them to find a Red Mist Ruins Key inside it.
Return to the hall and go into the opposite (top right) direction to enter a room with a ladder. Defeat the enemies first, then climb it to find a staircase leading to Sublevel One. Before going there, turn right and go south to find a chest protected by three monsters. Inside the chest, you will find your second Shard of Life.
Now, return to Sublevel One using the previous staircase. Remember the platform you pushed before? It will allow you to jump across the gap to the descending staircase leading to the objective room.
Go down, use the Red Mist Ruins Key to open the door, and get ready to fight the Great Bow Guardian.
Great Bow Guardian Boss Fight
Unlike the Greatsword Guardian, the Great Bow Guardian can quickly jump around the arena and shoot devastating arrows. The key to defeating it is the same, but you have to avoid the arrows it shoots; it charges up before shooting.
After it misses an arrow, immediately rush near the boss and continuously attack it. Once the Great Bow Guardian reaches 65% HP, it will be able to shoot individual and multiple arrows immediately. The best way to avoid them is to keep a distance, and when it’s charging the stronger arrow, move in and stagger it by using your sword.
Repeat the process a few times, and you’ll be the victor in this battle. As a reward, the boss will drop multiple Magicite Fragments, and the path ahead will open. There, open the red treasure chest containing an Ancient Tome and an Ancient Key.
Post Great Bow Guardian Boss Fight
Since Elliot doesn’t know their history, he decides to pass them to Euygene at the castle. Now, teleport to the First Level Adventurer Guidepost, and exit the ruins. From there, teleport to the castle’s Northern Gate Adventurer Guidepost, and visit the throne room to report everything to King Hichard.
He then gives the Ancient Tome and Key to Euygene, who reveals that the Tome mentions the Doorway of Time, where numerous adventurers went missing. According to him, this is a major discovery, and he requires further time to dissect its meaning. King Hichard appreciates Elliot’s efforts, but Minister Kaifried says that Elliot should be punished for ignoring the king’s orders and visiting the Mist Ruins without any notice.
To defend him, Princess Heuria steps in and says she deserves to be punished as well, since she accompanied Elliot on his journey. Hearing this, Minister Kaifried says that he’ll take the matter to the Ancient Tome and asks Euygene if the Ancient Key can open the Doorway of Time. As Euygene explains the threats of opening the door, King Hichard orders Minister Kaifried to stay silent and says he will not allow such foolish acts, which could potentially risk the entire kingdom’s safety.
Kaifried leaves the throne room angrily, and King Hichard asks Euygene to make the tome his top priority. After he leaves, the King requests Elliot to show Princess Heuria the outside world and show how he lives as an adventurer. Initially, she doesn’t believe it, but eventually, she casts her magic on Elliot’s earrings, and he finally leaves. From this point, we can accept side quests from the Kingdom’s residents for extra rewards.
With this, our The Adventures of Elliot’s Mist Ruins walkthrough comes to an end.
