All Set to Set Sail

Recommended level: 25

Client: Iris

Exp: 1000

Take Iris for a journey.

Go to Iris and head for a journey. During the travel you will encounter the gigantic flying fortress of the Empire again. The quest will be postponed and the team will decide to investigate the enemy base.

Imperial Infiltration

Recommended level: 25

Client: Ignis

Exp: 5000

Reward: Unstable Stabilizer x1

The mission will start on top of the tower.

Travel towards the enemy fortress. You will encounter a number of enemy mechs and guards, although all of them are low leveled and won't be a challenge. Head to the marked tower and start the infiltration mission.

Stick to the left side of the base and follow Caligo.

You have to follow Caligo. Turn left and head along the route, until you reach a guard near the staircase. Wait for your target to pass the guard and take him out with a warp-kill. Keep your distance and continue the travel along the building. Hide behind the wall and continue following Caligo.

An elevated position will allow you to easily jump between points and stick close to the target.

There will be a guard on the left side, above you - teleport towards him and take him out. Afterwards, eliminate the guards at the gate and head onto a higher platform. From here you will be able to easily jump between points and stick close to the person you're following.

Destroy the generator and the enemy forces.

At some point you will be able to incapacitate Caligo - do it. Run towards the generator to regroup with the rest of the party. A strong mech will await you there. Destroy the generator and head towards the exit.

Boss fight - Avanea

Avanea can quickly take out your whole party in melee combat.

Avanea is extremely fast, strong and deadly effective in melee combat. She can quickly incapacitate Noctis and the party. You shouldn't engage her in close combat. Instead, try to warp away from her. Once you're outside of her reach, the woman will perform an impressive leap ad will try to attack you from above.

Wait for the assassin to jump, block the attack and perform a counter.

It's very easy to block and counter. After the counter, the woman will be exposed for a few seconds, allowing you to deal a lot of damage to her. Imperial soldiers will appear from time to time, aiding Avanea in combat. After the encounter is over, the team will finally reunite with Iris.

All Set to Set Sail

Recommended level: 25

Client: Iris

Exp: 1000

The travel towards the ship continues.

It's time to continue the travel. After a short while you will be asked whether you want to stop at Malmalam Thicket. If you agree, you will head on a side quest requiring you to explore another dungeon. It's a good idea to agree, as you will find very good daggers and a greatsword inside. Additionally, Iris will be in your party - she is a great support character, constantly healing the party.

A series of conversations await you here.

Regardless of your choice you will soon reach Cape Caem, where, unfortunately, Iris will leave the party. Speak with Cindy, Talcott and finally with Iris. Afterwards, Gladio will inform you that he will leave the party for some time. Once Noctis agrees (+600 exp), the chapter will end.
