Walkthrough

This will be a step by step guide how to do the storyline.

feel free to add any information you feel is missing!

### Chapter 1

the first few minutes will be storyline you may read it and enjoy the story if you like or skip to move on fast by just spamming the space bar. this will lead you to your leader choices. your leader cannot be changed on this account once it is chosen so choose wisely. for more information on classes go to the Leader Class page. information is added all the time and you are also welcome to add information as you play!

the first moment you gain control you will have a menu pop up with some important information, or a short tutorial as some call it. read over this carefully if you are new. discord is always happy to help but some questions are already answered at the start.

once you are able to move around be careful this game is all about randomly generated battled by movement. choose your movements wisely. there is no reason to do battles for no reason currently as there are much better areas to gain XP than this one.

only about 13 steps in front of you you will see your first chest. these are important to loot and I suggest looting them all your first playthrough. they will give you items to help progress the story and level yourself much faster. this chest for example gives you 5 potions. they will be helpful for your first moments in this game as some leaders are weaker than others at the start of this game such as a healer is the hardest to start. i will give map examples below for the next chests so they wont be in the worded guide any longer as this is a walkthrough through the story not a step by step on how to play a video game ;).

once you've looted your first chest and move up a screen or so you will see a few new things. one item looks like a floating pearl, and the other new thing you will see is a oases looking area with a ship, this oases looking area is very important as it allows you access to an area we call camp. it's where most of your town needs will be met. all "Checkpoints" will be all to the same location and give you access to teleporting to previously visited Checkpoints.

the Pearl is what we call a "Soul" is is a creature that will fight with you on your team. your team is allowed 3 souls and one leader. make sure you pick this pearl up, then with the Esc key you will open the player menu, on the right side of the screen go to Souls. there you can put your fighting team together! the soul here is Dozer. a weak 1 star (but still helpful for the current situation)

for more information click Souls (page is under maintenance).

the chest located here is very important. it gives you 500 diamonds. diamonds are the most important currency in this game and are fully farmable unlike other gotcha like games! you have a chance to get diamonds at a very high drop chance every battle BUT you can also visit the discord and go to the diamonds tab and purchase diamonds directly from the Dev: Anderson. these diamonds are important and you have your very first important choice in FWS. first head into the checkpoint. as we said before souls are important and you are a new player so you will not yet have a 7 star soul but they can be very powerful and are required for endgame play (in my opinion). here in the camp you will see a NPC called Highlighted souls, these souls change weekly BUT there is always 7 stars on this NPC. if you choose to use 400 diamonds you can have a 25% chance to get your very first 7 star. OR you can use the summon gate for a much lower cost but will have a much lower chance to get a 7 star. this is because the summon gates pulls are VERY random and there are only a handful of 7 stars but tons or lower star souls. BUT you will be able to fill your team easily and be stronger then no souls at all if you choose to gambled and lose on this highlighted souls NPC. you will find souls along the way through the stroy but none of them will be a 7 star. make your choice and good luck! on with the story.

Make your way onward the obvious path to the new map, here you will see your first map monster . do not be mistaken these do not cause combat like other jrpgs instead this will do damage to you if you touch it. its always best to avoid these.

make your way tot he third map loot the chest (almighty books) books allow your souls and leader to learn to skills. lets move to the fourth map.

here you will find another chest and another soul. make sure you add this soul (Cutcust) to your team for now. the chest has a item you may use as a weapon on any soul/leader you choose. lets move on to the fifth map!

on the next map you will be greeted by another cut scene.

once the Scene is over welcome to the world map!

I would first go to Pardal Village to obtain the checkpoint, also there is a chest here to obtain. nothing else really notable just look around and we'll move on.

Next is Pardal Forest, this is the first area i suggest grinding for a few levels as it drops a couple of decent pieces of loot and the levels will be handy. level however long you'd like (also collecting diamonds) and loot the area of chests and a soul.

the next part of the forest is not worth looking around just move on.

back on the world map go south to the Ancient Ruins where you'll be met by more storyline.

WARNING: this area can be frustrating so take your time!

move your way up to the entrance of the big building, once inside move up a bit and you will see a gate on the right and a path on the left. remember this gate you will need to return. move onto the left path in the door way.

this area is is the fun one.. i have made a map for you to make it easier here (spoiler1) (i would jump down once there is a chest down there)

this area looks normal but has hidden trap doors. use the spoiler link to avoid these holes.

after this grab the soul in the next room and move up to the door ( a ton of holes were removed as i was making this guide. lucky you) loot all of the chests in this map. move up and go to the last room and loot the two chests as well. once you get the key you can go back to the gate at the starting area.

once you go through the gate on the right you will come up to a pink dragon with a key. this is your first boss fight. this fight is super easy, I did it as a level 1 with only two souls and absolutely no gear on any of them and as a healer. if you even gained level 2 you should be perfectly fine. Congratz you've beaten your first boss! and finished chapter one! grab the key and enjoy the cut scene.
