Head to the monastery

Upon starting the quest, you'll find yourselves in Mt. Neigelith, Leautagne Is. Follow the path ahead and break the first clump of ice blocking your path. Proceed forward and break the second wall of ice, be careful of this second one as it'll start collapsing once you destroy it, and huge chunks of ice will crash down, and you'll see a red-marked area as to where the chunks will drop. Avoid the marked area to not get hit.

After going through the blocked path, you'll see lights from afar, indicating the location of the monastery. Continue heading forward until you reach the quest marker. A new enemy type called Frosty Bones emerges from the ground. Clear the enemies in the area before proceeding.

After clearing the enemies, you can pick up the Frozen Note document on the left side behind an ice chunk.

Another loot can be found on the right side of the area, pick it up to obtain a Frosted Flower.

On the left side of this. you'll find a Wee Pincer.

After picking up the Wee Pincer, progress forward. Before you head toward the main objective, take the path on the right and make your way up the top. Turn around and you'll see a Gold Chase entrapped in ice. Break the ice to release the chest and open it, it contains Standard Refinium, some rupies, and 3 MSP. 

Now turn back and continue following the main path but stay up top, there's a loot on the right side, pick it up to obtain an Ice Spire. Just across you'll spot a Shrouded Chest. Collecting the mirage of stones within the time limit will reward you with an Attack Power II, some rupies, and 3 MSP.

 

Now go back down and backtrack a bit, along the way is another chest. Open the chest to receive Rafale Coin x2 and some rupies.

Now head back on track, you'll encounter some Frosty Bones and along the way. Before you proceed in following the quest marker, you'll see a chest trapped inside an ice chunk under the bridge. Break the ice and open the chest to receive Fortitude Shard x7, some rupies, 1 MSP. You can try destroying the other chunks of ice to obtain some Ice Spire loot from some of them. Under the stairs, you can also pick up a Frosted Flower and another Ice Spire loot.

Go up the stairs and cross the bridge, note that more Frosty Bones will spawn in the area, and some of them can break from ice chunks scattered throughout the area. Once you reach the quest marker, you'll notice on the left side is another chest trapped in an ice chunk. This chest contains Water Shard x2, some rupies, and 1 MSP.

Go down the slope and you'll see a Hallowed Ground near a bridge. Nearby is another chest, open it to receive Fortitude Crystal (S), some rupies, and 2 MSP.

 

If you're low on health and other recovery items, make sure to interact with the Hallowed Ground. Reach the middle of the bridge to trigger a short cutscene. A mysterious member of The Church of Avia appears and prevents the party from reaching the monastery by destroying the bridge. The Captain along with the other members falls down the mountains. Once the group recovers from the fall, a creature awaits in the shadows.

Boss Fight: Nazarbonju

Once you regain control of your character, you will face off against the Nazarbonju boss. The Nazarbonju is regarded as an ill omen perched on sacred mountains, with their bodies comprised mostly of a massive eye. They have accumulated sufficient frost and mana, capable of freezing a wildfire with just a single glare.

This boss floats around and mainly uses frost-based attacks and is weak against Earth. Similar to other Bosses, this one will enter Overdrive Mode once the yellow meter beneath its HP gauge is filled. During this mode, it gains access to new special moves, weakens your Skybound Arts, and reduces the overall damage it takes. Once it enters into Overdrive, keep an eye out for the move called Glacial Tomb where the Nazarbonju shrieks and a giant ice block drops on the ground, along with small multiple ice chunks that drop within the area. This move will be executed once the boss enters Overdrive. Keep an eye out on the red circles that will appear on the ground indicating where the ice block and ice chunks will drop to avoid getting hit. After this, it'll immediately use the attack Freeze Ray. The Nazarbonju charges up briefly and releases a focused ray of ice, then spins around while continuously blasting the chilling projectile. The trick here is to hide behind the giant block of ice that the boss dropped earlier when performing the Glacial Tomb. Wait out until the boss stops spinning, it'll eventually stop after a few seconds. Once the Nazarbonju stops spinning, it'll drop down on the ground, making it vulnerable for a while. You can destroy the giant ice block if the boss is within range to deal damage, then continuously attack before it regains consciousness.

You can also lead the Nazarbonju to the ice blocks that are situated in each corner of the arena. You'll see about 4 of them, so you'll have the option to lead the boss near it and destroy the ice block to stagger the boss and land a counterattack while it's vulnerable.  

After defeating Nazarbonju, you'll receive an Ice Spire, Bizarre Wing x5, Fortitude Crystal (S) x3, Glaciate Resistance I, and 5 MSP.

Proceed through Snowquilt Ravine

Before you proceed with the main objective, check the area and you'll find an Omen Stone and an Ice Spire in the corner. If you decide to release the seal for the omen stone, you'll have to fight 6 Withered Hollow Knights and defeat them within the time limit.

Continue following the quest marker, once you reach Snowquilt Ravine, check behind the pillar on the left to find a chest. This chest contains a Prism Chip and some rupies.

Now proceed and follow the main path, on the left side you can pick up Snow Pillow x2. Once you reach the quest marker, destroy the block of ice that's blocking your path to proceed, you'll also get an Ice Spire from breaking the ice block. As you proceed, you'll notice multiple ice chunks and massive ice walls blocking your way in the ravine. Destroy the first ice wall and pick up the loot on the left side to obtain Snow Pillow x2. As you press forward, enemies will spawn in the area. Deal with them swiftly, then before you destroy the next ice block, you'll notice a narrow path on the left side, take that path and pick up the Snow Pillow x2 on the way. From here, you'll find a chest trapped in an ice chunk. Break the ice and open the chest to receive Glitterstone (S), some rupies, and 1 MSP.

Go back to the main path and destroy the second wall of ice. There will be more enemies here. Once they've been dealt with, take the path on the right, go up the slope, and pick up a Frosted Flower loot at the top. Jump across the other side and within that area, you'll find three chests. The chest on the left contains Fortitude Shard x7 and some rupies. The chest in the middle contains Stun Power II, some rupies, and 2 MSP. The chest on the right contains Fortitude Crystal (S) x5, some rupies, and 3 MSP. You can also break the ice chunks in the area to receive an Ice Spire and a Frosted Flower.

 

After opening the last chest, some Frosty Bones will spawn in the area. After clearing the enemies, head back and drop down. You can pick up some Ice Spire, Frosted Flower, and Snow Pillows around this area. Before you proceed in going up the slope, there's a Shrouded Chest on the right side. This chest contains Health II, some rupies, and 3 MSP.

Now continue by heading up the slope. Break the third wall of ice to proceed, you will also receive an Ice Spire, a Frosted Flower, and an Eternal Snowflake for breaking this wall of ice. As you reach the quest marker, you'll have to defeat 2 Cyaegha enemies waiting for you in the area. After clearing the enemies, pick up the loot along the way to receive Snow Pillow x2. Break the ice chunks you encounter along the way for additional loot. Once you make it to the top, you'll find another frozen chest near the exit. Break the ice and open the chest to receive Fortitude Shard x7, some rupies, and 1 MSP.

Now exit the area and before you head to the monastery, turn left and pick up the Frosted Flower loot. Just further ahead is a Slime enemy. Defeating this Slime will reward you substantial rupies as well as 1 MSP. Down the destroyed bridge nearby, there's a Snow Pillow loot on the edge, be wary as you get close to the edge, as 2 Cyaegha enemies will appear.

After defeating the enemies, go to the edge of the cliff, you'll find a chest that contains Water Shard x3 and some rupies. Adjacent to that chest is a loot you can pick up, it will reward you with an Ice Spire and 1 MSP.

Once you've checked out all the available loot in the area, follow the quest marker, cross the bridge, and enter the monastery. Once inside, interact with the giant door in front of you, this will summon a horde of Cyaegha enemies in the area. You will have to fight off a horde of them to proceed.

As you're fighting off against a horde of Cyaegha, multiple seals of magic will surround the area and take out all of the remaining enemies. A short cutscene will then trigger. The person who helped you introduces herself as Historiath, the overseer of Melosse Monastery. It's also revealed that she was the acquaintance Rolan was talking about. After the short dialogue, wait for Historiath to finish incanting to open the sealed door in front of you. Once she's done, go through the door and use the Hallowed Ground in the area to recover HP and other consumables, and to prepare for what comes next.

Head to Tredame Sanctum

Now head up the stairs and take the narrow path on the left, pick up a Snow Pillow loot along the way and follow the path until you see a Gold Chest. Open it to receive Health II, some rupies, and 3 MSP.

Head back and go up the stairs to exit the area and follow Historiath. Make sure to break some of the ice chunks you encounter along the way for some extra loot. Continue following Historiath and you'll reach your destination. The door ahead seems to be sealed, Historiath will incant another spell to open the door. Suddenly, a horde of enemies will appear. You are tasked with protecting Historiath from the enemies until she finishes incanting. You'll have to survive while protecting Historiath from the enemies until the timer runs out. Once Historiath finishes her spell, all enemies in the area will be defeated.

Before you go through the door, take the path on the right and you'll find a chest in the corner. Open it to receive Glitterstone (S), some rupies, and 1 MSP. Within the same area, there's a loot in the corner protected by three Frosty Bones. Defeat the enemies and pick up the loot to receive a Frosted Flower and 1 MSP.

Head back to where Historiath is, you'll find an Omen Stone on the left side of the area. You can also pick up a Snow Pillow on the left side of the entrance of the door. Now go through the door and on the right side is a Snow Pillow loot you can pick up.

Turn to the direction of the main quest, before you proceed, climb the ledge on the right, and at the top, you'll find another Wee Pincer.

Go back on track and cross the bridge. Check the cliff on the leftmost side to pick up Frosted Flower x2. From there, you'll spot a chest trapped in ice near the entrance to the sanctum. Break the ice and open the chest to receive Water Shard x2, some rupies, and 1 MSP.

 

Now explore the right side of the area, you'll find two more chests there, along with an Ice Spire and Snow Pillow loot. After collecting all the loot in the area, follow the quest marker so Historiath can start incanting and open the door for the sanctum. Once Historiath starts chanting her spell, a boss called Scarmiglione will appear.

Boss Fight: Scarmiglione

For this boss fight, your main objective is to protect Historiath as she completes a spell to open the door to the sanctum. You can either wait until the timer runs out or defeat the boss to proceed. But it is recommended you focus on taking out the boss since it has the ability to summon enemies in the area which can overpower you if you're not careful. The battle with Scarmiglione begins at a distance, requiring you to approach him on the bridge. Expect him to summon additional enemies, so clear them out while keeping an eye on Scarmiglione and its Mode bar. Lead him off the bridge to have more space and reduce the risk of being caught in his linear attacks. Scarmiglione's attacks are telegraphed with a slow wind-up. Pay attention to his arm movements and watch for floor markings indicating larger ranged attacks. Dodge or move to the side when he raises his weapon for melee strikes. Seize the brief pause after his attacks to deal significant damage. Some members can focus on Scarmiglione, playing aggressively and dodging when necessary, while others clear nearby mobs.

As Scarmiglione fills his Mode bar, he enters overdrive with powerful AoE combos. Attack aggressively to deplete the Mode Bar, but watch out for floor markings to avoid major damage. Wait for these attacks to finish, then rush in to deplete the Mode Bar, causing him to enter Break. Save Skybound Arts for a final blow, using them in succession. Repeat the pattern of dodging, attacking, and clearing mobs. Utilize Link attacks for Link Time and unleash powerful attacks. If he enters overdrive again, Break it quickly to consume a significant portion of his HP and clear the fight. Use Skybound Arts and Chain Burst for maximum damage. Once successful, proceed through the door of seclusion.

Reaching the Altar

After going through the door, check the left side of the room to find a chest that contains Fortitude Crystal (S) x2 and some rupies. A fourth Hallowed Ground is also within the room, use it when necessary. Before going upstairs, check the area ahead, you'll immediately see a chest on the left side. Open it to receive Glaciate Resistance I, some rupies, and 2 MSP. In the same area, you'll need to destroy the wall of ice on the right side and you'll find a Gold Chest that contains Fortitude Crystal (S) x3, and a Flame Rapier. Now go upstairs and check the fountain, you can pick up the Sequestration's Verse document.

Now follow Historiath and wait for her to open the door, then go inside the altar. You'll find Lyria on the other side of the room, but something seems off.

Boss Fight: Id and Managarmr

Once you approach Lyria, a cutscene will trigger. As your party goes near hear, Vyrn will eventually end up hitting a barrier, preventing anyone from getting close to Lyria. Lyria then tries to attack the group but Historiath uses her ability to defend The Captain. She retaliates with a counter-attack but Id swoops in and defends Lyria. After the cutscene, you'll have to face off against Id again. Just like in Chapter 3, this will be another predetermined boss fight where you'll end up losing in the end. You will also see the same set of maneuvers and attacks from chapter 3.

Start by placing a target on Id. He will begin with his basic set of attacks including his dash and Charged Sword Strike attack. Start strong by advancing and playing offensively to start and deal as much damage before he progresses to his larger attacks. Keep to his back and circle around him to keep to his back for the highest chance of avoiding his attacks. If he lifts himself in the air, stay clear of the area just below him since he will make a hard AoE landing. Progress through the fight enough and eventually, a cutscene will interrupt and progress into Managarmr's Boss fight.

Managarmr starts off with a horn storm stomp, unleashing a ground-breaking ice wave. Players can capitalize on the opportunity to attack him from the side during the recovery period after the move. In the middle of the arena, he executes Glacial Desolation, covering almost the entire space with a frozen storm. Players can evade by hiding behind ice blocks or moving to the arena's edge. His Death's Threshold attack involves sending ice missiles, requiring players to destroy them. When Managarmr targets a large ice block, players can attack him while he's vulnerable.

During Overdrive Mode, Managarmr performs an attack called Silver Wolf Surge, a swift arena-crossing move with red and white indicators. Players must dodge quickly to avoid subsequent attacks. Death's Threshold combines ice missiles and Silver Wolf Surge. During a cornered Frost Blast, players can hide behind an ice burg, wait for it to pass, and then attack. Phantom Ice Spots make Managarmr temporarily invisible, leaving white spots that, when triggered, freeze players. Avoiding these spots is crucial to prevent freezing, damage, or attacks. Once you defeat Managarmr, you'll receive Standard Refinium, Fortitude Crystal (S) x3, Champion Merit x2, Health II, and 10 MSP.

Route to Seedhollow

Once you're aboard the ship, check the area for loot before speaking to Rackam and departing to Seedhollow. You can pick up 2 Rafale Coins and a Prism Chip in the area.

After picking up all the loot you can find, speak to Rackam to depart and this concludes Chapter 5 and officially begins Chapter 6: In Search of Hope.
