In order to progress to the next part, you will need to clear the following requirements:
- Synthesize one of the following items:
- Energianica.
- Lightning Bell.
- Restoration Bottle.
- Head over to the Sunken Mine.
Getting Stronger
Back from the assembly, Ryza will have a heart to heart with Empel and Lila.
Read through the dialogue, and then you will automatically learn three new recipes: Energianica, Lightning Bell, and Restoration Bottle.
In order to advance, you will need to synthesize at least one of them.
Before that, you can leave and return to the Atelier in order to unlock the Golden Coin exchange.
Completing the Mandatory Synthesis
You can choose one of the three recipes in order to advance. Synthesizing either Energianica or Lightning Bell will be your best options right now, in order to make things quicker.
Energianica
This is a very simple synthesis.
Energianica will only require two ingredients in total. Staltium is the core ingredient, so using two ingots will be enough to clear the requirement.
Lightning Bell
Just like Energianica, Lightning Bell is another simple synthesis. The recipe requires two ingredients, with Plajig being the mandatory one.
You can use the Plajig from Part 3 for this synthesis. The recipe also has a loop for Staltium, making it easy to check the two mandatory ingredients off.
Restoration Bottle
Compared to the other two recipes, Restoration Bottle will require a bit of work.
This recipe requires Healing Chips as a mandatory ingredient. Healing Chips are a morph of the Building Material recipe, and will need Mixing Oil as an ingredient.
In order to obtain the recipe for Mixing Oil, you will need to clear the normal quest “Handyman in Need”.
Restoration Bottle requires a minimum of three ingredients.
You will probably want to revisit the Restoration Bottle recipe later on, as it will morph into Nectar – a very useful mid and late game item.
Bos Runs Away
Once you complete the mandatory synthesis, the story will progress automatically. Lent, Tao and Klaudia will show up at the Atelier to break the news that Bos has run away from home.
In order to help with the search, Lila will join your party.
After that, fast travel to Traveler’s Road – Shipyard. Read through the dialogue to learn the backstory behind Bos’ behavior.
Empel and Lila will then find Bos’ footprints. Head over to the Sunken Mine in order to search for him.
Once you enter the mine, Lumbar will come running alone, asking for help. Read through the dialogue, and the game will then proceed to Part 10.
