This content is difficult and time consuming. Some in ways some people aren't going to enjoy. I took notes throughout the entire update in case it helped others.
Notes:
- You're going to need to heal between a lot (most) battles. You do so in the magic circle (Fragment of Rest). I'm not going to tell you to heal between every battle.
- You can use Simon's Reflect skill for some dialogue.
- Use permanent stat increasing potions as soon as you get them. Do not otherwise use consumables unless noted.
- Do not spend Sx unless directed.
- - Update: I completed the entire section without spending Sx so you should be fine however the two items sold by unsuccubi are the best purchases IMO.
- Use the Retreat skill often once you get it. I'm not going to tell you to use it.
- You can't deal with the statue (Guardian) in the first area until you obtain a skill from the third area.
- You can't deal with several enemies in the second area until you obtain skills from the third area:
- - 8x Snake
- - 1x Mana Demon
- - 3 Unpeople fight
- - 5 Unpeople fight
- You do need to pay attention to enemy/skill names and such to determine whether or not your gear should bump ATK/MAG and DEF/MDF.
- You do need to read the item descriptions. Some items grant bonuses or prevent specific status effects.
Some notes on my walkthrough:
- This is based on 0.58.1. It seems likely to me that more changes will come in the future which may invalidate small parts or the entire thing.
- Thanks to Fulminato for creating a map for the Purple Maze area.
- This can probably be cleaned up a bunch but I'm tired atm. I'll take feedback and apply it if anyone wants to provide it.
- I am not guaranteeing that this is optimal, it is just how I did it.
- There are items and skills you may not be able to obtain due to decisions made before arriving here. I do not use these throughout the walkthrough although in some places they make things significantly better (like Poison Dart against bears, the ogre, flamekins, icers, and maybe some others). You can equip better items if they are strictly better, but in one place your LCK is tested (Lady Luck), in some places AGI is specifically tested (Soulbound Lamia) or you need a specific score to be faster than the enemies (most or all snakes). Higher LCK (Black Gloves) also increases the chances of applying status effects and lowers the chances of you getting hit with status effects (including Profound debuffs).

Note: This fight is pretty tight. If you get a bunch of bad damage rolls from the enemy you might die. Consider the Icy Book instead. I did it with the Icy Book as well first try though so you should be okay. Or do the next fight first.
