Bravely Default II Walkthrough - Prologue | Halcyonia, Outlaw's Hideout & Breath of Sighs

Welcome to RPG Site's official Bravely Default II Walkthrough . This guide is designed for first time players to have a general outline of what to expect, even though the game does share enough information to get started.

Throughout this guide, you'll encounter enemy lists, side quest lists & completion directions, treasure checklists, boss strategies, and handy maps. This section of the walkthrough covers the Prologue:

• Adventure Begins in Halcyonia
• Boss Battle: Selene & Dag
• Halcyonia Prologue Side Quests
• Boss Battle: Horten

When you start the game for the first time, a difficulty option is given, select the option that is best suited for you. RPG Site's guide is written under normal mode circumstances.

This guide covers the prologue. If you've already completed it, continue to our BD2 Chapter 1 Walkthrough. Alternatively, see our Bravely Default 2 Walkthrough Contents Index at the foot of this page.

Bravely Default 2 Walkthrough - Prologue

Halcyonia - Adventure Begins

Treasure List - Halcyonia Inn (Phoenix Down x2) Bottom Left House (Buckler) Royal Palace - (Pilgrim’s Hat)

When you regain control of the game, open the chest beside you to get some Phoenix Downs. Then talk to the owner of the Inn.

Before leaving town there are some treasures placed in Halcyonia, if you go to the house on the bottom left corner of the map. You will find a Buckler. 

Leave Halcyonia, then move to the beach area.

--Battle Tutorial--

You will encounter the first battle. Nothing to worry about here, as this is to get familiar with the game. The protagonist is actually invincible here, so just follow the command prompts. If you haven’t played the previous games before, utilizing the Brave and Default system will bring an advantage in battle. 

• Brave - Use BP  for an extra action. However, if BP goes negative, BP needs to return to 0 to move again.
• Default - Defensive action that will store up BP.

Two new party members will join your party, and at this point you'll also be allowed to access the Job and Abilities menu .

With this sequence done, return to Halcyonia.  There will be wandering monsters in the field map, touching them will trigger enemy battles. 

Enemy List Goblin (Humanoid #001) Orc (Humanoid #011) Wolf (Beast #001) Ratbitt (Beast #017) Flannacotta (Aquatic #001) Sahagin (Aquatic #013) Fresh Forkling (Plant #009) Ochu  (Plant #015) Woody (Plant #019) Brimstone Stallion (Undead #015) Sylph (Spirit #016) Vesp (Insect #019) Coral Emperor *Rare Monster (Bosses #009) Treant *Rare Monster (Bosses #015) Leannan Sith *Rare Monster (Bosses #009)

After the event scene in Halcyonia, leave town and head to the Outlaw’s Hideout (Northwest of map). The guest member helping you is also much stronger than the rest of the cast and can give you a large advantage in leveling. There are also treasures found in the field.

Equip the 'Divining Rod' ability to display how many treasures are left in the map. Or use our map & treasure list below - or both.

Treasure List - Near Halcyonia Ward Light x2 410 pq Kukri Leather Cap Mini Ether x2 (Monster Chest) 270 pq Tent  Wizard's Rod (Monster Chest) Padded Armor

Outlaw’s Hideout - the first dungeon

The first dungeon is here. It's quite straightforward, but there is still a range of optional treasures to find and battles to fight on your way to the boss battle on 2F. 

Enemy List Goblin Chopper (Humanoid #002) Mageling ((Humanoid #019) Ghost Knight (Undead #001) Bronzegoyle (Demon #005) Freyr (Spirit #020)

Treasure List - Outlaw Hideout 1st Floor Teleport Stone 320 pq Mini Either x2

Treasure List - Outlaw Hideout B1 Francisca (Monster Chest) Dart 570 pq Round Shield

Treasure List - Outlaw Hideout 2F Tent Long Sword

There are no maps when exploring dungeons, however, if you do get lost, following the yellow point will lead you to the end of the dungeon.

During the story sequence, examine the crystal before the time limit runs out or else it is a game over .

First Boss Battle: Selene & Dag

• Selene / HP (2457)
• Dag   / HP (3822)

Boss Loot: Acquire EXP 660  / JP 310 /  pg 560

After winning the first battle, you are given the job abilities of White Mage and Vanguard. Job abilities are the main key feature of getting your party upgraded and finding success in later battles. Jobs, which are Bravely Default 2's classes, offer a large variety of setups. The guide here will provide a setup mostly on what the author used and might not be the most optimized method of winning all boss battles.

We also have created pages to outline all jobs in Bravely Default 2 , and some of our picks for the best jobs, subjobs and job combinations overall, but these pages will contain spoilers, so please read at your own risk.

Return to Halcyonia - side quests galore

Return back to town (Halcyonia). The game will tell you that there are side quests available by talking to anyone with a blue text bubble. 

For the first side quest, visit the house in the center below the stairs and talk to the old lady to get a Side Quest. This quest is also mandatory to complete in order to advance the story.

At this point, a string of side quests is unlocked. We list them all here, but when you're ready to move on with the story you'll simply need to leave Halcyonia and follow the objective marker East, to the Vale of Sighs .

A note about Side Quests

Bravely Default II does not seem to have any sort of formal quest log -- there won't be any easy way to track what you've completed. However, if you go into the menu and select Travelogue, you'll be able to press X to choose 'In Progress', and you'll be able to toggle waypoint markers for up to three quests. If you pick up a quest and you're not sure where exactly to go, double-check that you have it selected as active in this menu.

Full Story Walkthrough and Guide

Learn JP Up (and JP Up and UP if possible)

The Jp Up and Jp Up and Up are valuable support abilities from the Freelancer. They multiply the amout of JP you earn by a solid 1.7 combined. While leveling this far early in the game may be difficult, always consider leveling the freelancer whenever you can and set these two abilities as your goal.

Forage for Items!

The Freelancer's ability Forage allows you to farm items in the middle of the fight. By leaving a weak enemy alone, you can just Brave 4 times for each character and use Forage to net yourself several items. Take note that the item quality depends on the Freelancer's Job level so do consider leveling it up further if you wish to farm items with this method.

You can use offensive items against bosses

Offensive items deal a fixed amount of damage against enemies. During the lower levels, these damages can be considered high so using these against them can be effective.

Complete Boss List and Guides

Do Quests when possible

Quests can reward you with several things like PG, items, and even equipment. Always talk to NPCs with a blue speech bubble to get quests!

Best Job Combinations

Everyone's stats are the same

The stats of your 4 characters are the same. They may look different but it is only due to the job's stat modifier. Some example of this are the Vanguard class and the Black Mage. A level 11 Vanguard will have more HP than a Black Mage but the Black Mage will have higher Magic Power then the Vanguard. Swapping their Job will have the other character have more HP but less magic power and vice versa.

You can get jobs from quests

Some jobs can only be obtained by doing quests and aren't obtainable by just playing the main storyline. Make sure to explore and complete those quests when possible!

Know unopened chest count using Divining Rod

The Divining Rod can show you the amount of unopened chests in the area. This is a great skill to have at all times and is pretty easy to acquire as it only needs a job level of 3 from the freelancer.

You can get items by chopping grass

The grass on the worldmap isn't just for show. You can use the attack command on the world map to cut them. Sometimes, doing so will yield pg, items, and even strong weapons!

To replenish your HP and MP, prepare consumables such as potions, ethers, and tents to recover your character's stats. Some characters also have abilities that allow them to recover HP or MP under certain conditions like the black mage's speciality that allows MP regeneration upon Defaulting .

Status Ailments and Effects

Using Buffs and Debuffs

Buffs and Debuffs can be used by your enemies and allies alike. Each buff and debuff can stack, but they all have a limit to how many multipliers they can reach. Make sure to check your stats while in battle to see any buffs or debuffs.
