Map direction
Use shrines as anchors because the region branches heavily
Sandgate Village

Check
What matters

Melon Field quest
This route matters later, so do not ignore the NPC chain

Mark hard optional enemies and return with better resources

Remember this location for later secret-ending cleanup

Solve environmental pressure before judging your boss damage
Bull-related routes
Repeat NPC interactions and route steps as the chapter advances

Check
What matters

Follow key story nodes so no major equipment step is missed
Ending route
Decide whether to complete Mount Mei before the final boss
Final boss
Review spells, transformations, medicines, and spirit choices
NG+ planning
Decide whether collectibles and side content should be finished now
One-Run Rhythm
Unlock shrines first so you can return quickly.
If a main boss walls you, clear side paths instead of repeating bad attempts.
Before each chapter finale, check hidden areas and major NPC steps.
Before Chapter 6 ends, decide whether you want the secret ending route.
After credits, decide whether cleanup is worth doing before NG+.
