After overcoming Vam in Fantasian Neo Dimension, you enter the mysterious Chaos Realm, where you meet its last inhabitant, Valrika. Vam devastated her world in an attempt to thwart Jas’s rise, but the situation turns out to be more intricate than it seems.
Before his final confrontation, Vam left a message for Valrika, instructing her that if he were to perish, she should journey to the Chaos Caverns to uncover something meant for her. Now, it’s your mission to guide her safely to that location, but there are numerous challenges to face along the way.
How to Unlock the Survivor of Chaos Quest
Although Valrika joins your team right away, you’ll need to advance through Act 2 before she becomes comfortable enough to present her quest to you. After you complete several other story-related missions, like rescuing your friends, she will then share her request.
You won’t miss this opportunity, so there’s no need to worry. Eventually, she will explain Vam’s last wish and ask you to accompany her to the Chaos Cavern, which is located just beyond the previously blocked-off Chaos Lakes area.
Navigating the Chaos Cavern
Upon entering the Chaos Cavern, you’ll immediately spot its unique color scheme, shifting from the usual reds to a deep blue, surrounded by stark white rock formations.
You won’t have much trouble finding your way in this space; there are few new enemies to contend with. Instead, your focus should be on discovering the numerous hidden items scattered throughout the cavern. The camera angles can be tricky, which might cause you to lose your sense of direction.
Here’s where to find every item within the various rooms of the Chaos Cavern:
Item |
Location |
---|---|
Talisman x3 |
After crossing the river, check a chest to the right. |
Whetstone |
At the next crossing, head left into the corner to find this chest. |
SP Capsule |
After crossing the next river, follow the northern edge until you find this chest. |
Soma Stone |
Beyond the last chest, look between some blue trees in a corner. |
Order Motes |
Before climbing the white slope, explore the small corner on your left first. |
Whetstone |
Shortly after scaling the slope, you’ll find this chest. |
Chaos Clay |
After defeating the Chaos Basilisk, there’s a chest to the left by the boss arena exit. |
Elixir |
After leaving the arena towards a new area, take the first left for this chest. |
Moss Quartz |
After exiting the arena, find this chest on the left side. |
Shipping Box |
After exiting the arena, find this chest a bit further down on the left. |
Moonstone |
Before entering the large blue field, check a chest on the right. |
Order Motes x2 |
Before the big blue field, discover these in a chest on the left. |
Morganite L |
After leaving the arena, look for this chest on the left. |
When you reach the Whetstone, prepare yourself because the next challenge is a boss battle in the center of a suitably ominous arena. A Save Point will be available before you enter, so make sure to heal before the fight begins.
While all items are valuable, the Morganite L can be particularly useful for certain builds, and the Shipping Box can unlock additional nodes on the Growth Map. Also, don’t overlook the Soma Stone if you’re in search of a new weapon for Valrika.
Defeating the Chaos Basilisk
What you’ll actually face instead of Vam’s last wish is the Chaos Basilisk, a creature of pure chaos and death that will aim to deplete your health over time.
Valrika must be part of your party for this battle, so equip her with strong jewels right from the start. Although she won’t have her Divine Artefact just yet, you should at least ensure she has a Phantom Quartz to neutralize any curses.
The Chaos Basilisk has no specific weaknesses to exploit, so concentrate on unleashing your strongest attacks. A solid party configuration would include Valrika alongside Leo and Ez for their buffs and robust offensive capabilities.
Initially, the boss attacks you physically and uses a slow and poison-inducing move. While these attacks are manageable, watch out for the Tail Breaker, which can deal significant damage. Maintain your Defense Up as much as possible, and have Prickle cast Barrier All when you can.
As the boss’s health decreases, it will unleash a move called World of Death, which blankets the battlefield in an aura that inflicts a curse every turn. This curse can’t be removed through standard skills, and it will reapply the next turn, so it’s crucial to utilize the Phantom Quartz.
An essential strategy for this battle involves casting Mist. Petrifying and Death Stare cannot affect you at all if Mist is in play, so have Valrika cast Enchanting Mist whenever possible. With this and the Phantom Quartz, World of Death becomes a minor threat.
Once you’ve vanquished the boss, you’ll have the freedom to explore again. Move on to the expansive blue field ahead, where Valrika will unveil the truth behind Vam’s legacy: he left behind the essence of her people, allowing them the potential to thrive in a renewed Chaos Realm.
With this newfound insight, she receives her Divine Artefact, unlocking her Growth Map at last.
