Eternal Sonata/Chapter 2: Revolution

Agogo Village
It will start you in Chorus Plains but just turn around and go back to the Agogo Village to run a few errands. Give Polka the Guardian Clothes and then go search the mushroom patch where you fought the Ogre Champ to find a Poison Whitecap. Head to the shop to sell any photos you have and restock. Use the save point before leaving the village to the north.

Chorus Plains
Now that your party has more than three members, it's important to keep rotating them (via the main menu screen), as only the front three will engage in battle and gain the most experience. Rotating the party will help you to keep everyone's levels even. The inactive members will still gain experience but only a partial amount. Ending a battle with 0 HP will net that character no experience and they will have 1 HP unless healed.

It is difficult to back attack the Angel Goats in this area - they are quick movers and will easily get behind you instead. It's best to just attack them from the front.

Head directly opposite the entrance to the west side to find a chest with a Leather Hide, give this to Frederic. Go all the way north to find three goats blocking the path over the bridge. Beat has a good idea about feeding the goats to get them to move.

You need to find 3 pieces of paper to feed them. Head east along the fence to find one piece. Another piece can be found next to the entrance. The last one can be found on the path in front of the bridge. Feed the goats the pieces of paper then cross the bridge into Chorus Plains: South Lake.

Walk over to the west side and fight the enemy for a chest containing Jezail, a weapon for Beat. Continue along the west side and speak with the Goat Herder. Talk to him to trade your Long Johns for his Goats Milk. Continue all the way north, then go east and follow the detour sign to Chorus Plains: East Lake.

Follow the path north to a save point. Check your item set because there is a mini boss fight coming up. Save, then go forward for a cutscene.

You return to Chorus Plains: Viola's house and there is a chest along the back wall which contains a Club Clover. Leave Viola's house to enter Chorus Plains: North Side. Notice the Letter Carrier by the driveway of Viola's house because you will come back to him.

Walk north up the waterfall slope to reach Cabasa Bridge. There are a couple of cutscenes here, but there is nothing to do other than cross the bridge and enter Fort Fermata.

Fort Fermata
This section is a great opportunity to build up your experience and to level up. Fight as many enemies as you can.

Take the opportunity to save here, then head all the way north to the door. The door is locked so head though the gap in the wall to the west to reach Fort Fermata: West side.

Cross the broken slab bridge on the west side of the walkway and go north then up the ladder. Now go all the ways south and down the ladders, then follow the path into Fort Fermata: Moving room.

Exit the Moving Room through the other door and then go up the nearby ladder near the save point. Cross the roof of the Moving Room to find a chest with a Paper Umbrella, a new weapon for Polka. Cross back over the roof and head east. Follow the wall all the way south then take the west path as it curves north and round to a wall. Follow the wall south until you come to an entrance to the Fort Fermata: Over central Road section. Save here if you want to, then continue into Fort Fermata: East side.

Walk south along the wall and over the river. Go east and then south down the ladder. Follow the path south to a room where you will be forced to fight a Maledictor, but it shouldn't be too difficult. Press the switch in the middle of the room.

This will reset the moving room to its original position. Head back to the save point near the moving room, head south into Fort Fermata: Small Room. There is no enemy in this room. Push the switch here to move the room to the east side of Fort Fermata.

Head back over to Fort Fermata: East side. via the Fort Fermata: Over central Road section. Walk south over the river, then go east past the save point and south to the ladder. Go through the Fort Fermata: Moving Room, then south again to another ladder. Head north over the moving room roof and take the path on the east side before going down the ladder.

Go north and cross the broken slab bridge, then follow the path to another Fort Fermata: Small Room. Press the switch to move the Moving Room into its final position. Go north from the switch room and take the other broken slab bridge to the west. Go up the ladders and across the roof, then go down the ladders and through the Fort Fermata: Moving Room to reach a chest with a Maple Baton, a weapon for Frederic. Note: the PS3 version swaps this chest with the Rapid Fire chest encountered later.

Go back over the roof and then as far east as you can. Follow the path north to the ladders, then south to another set of ladders.

With Party Level 3, your tactical time is reduced to 3 seconds. After those 3 seconds are up, your Action Gauge will start to automatically count down, whether you've moved or not. If you do move a character during Tactical Time your Action Gauge will start counting down immediately.

The Action Gauge time is also reduced, to 4 seconds.

You now have 4 slots for skills per party member. As your characters level up they will master many new skills, and by assigning skills in the new slots you will be able to choose between two Light and two Dark skills during battles by holding and releasing it once the name of the attack changes.

There is a chest next to the door, containing Score Piece 2. Use the Fort Fermata Key to leave.

Continue following the path until you come to an item merchant who is under attack. After beating the enemy, he will open his shop to you. Buy the Bat Umbrella and Fancy clothes for Polka and the Coachman’s Coat for Frederic. Also buy as many Club Clovers as you can. These healing items will heal everyone in your party at the same time. These are very handy both in and out of battles. He will also let you rest for free and it will heal all party members.

Now you can access the shop, buy the Walloon Sword and a Full Plate for Allegretto, a Wolf's Fang for Beat, a Pair Jacket for Viola and Tailored Clothes for Polka and Beat. Although the Oak Barrel has increased attack stats, the 5% HP increase of the Maple Baton is a better choice here. Head into the tavern and talk to the Proprietress about Phil.
