Walkthrough
A start-to-finish account of the game. Handy if you're lost, but it has the most spoilers: read only the chapter you need.
Guides and walkthroughs
Guides and walkthroughs
A guide can get you past a hard part, but it can also ruin the fun if you read too much. In this section we explain the types of guides, how to use them selectively and spoiler-free, and how to tell whether a guide was written for the current version of the game. This is also where the catalogue of standalone Fffuuu articles lives.
The best guide is the one you close as soon as you know what to do next.
How this section works: we explain how to choose and read guides, and we don't retell game stories. The catalogue only features articles that can be checked against official sources and the game itself.
Types of guides
Five kinds of guides players run into most often.
Boss guide
A breakdown of a single fight: enemy attacks, fight phases, safe moments to strike. Useful when you're stuck at one specific spot.
Build guide
How to develop your character: which skills and gear work well together. Builds go out of date especially quickly after patches.
Collectibles guide
Where to find secrets, items and achievements. Usually opened after the main playthrough to mop up whatever you missed.
Beginner's guide
Covers the basics: controls, interface, early decisions. Great at the start of a game and almost free of story spoilers.

How to use a guide without spoilers
Pin down your question
Decide exactly what you need: how to beat a particular boss, where to go next or where to find an item. The more precise the question, the less you'll read by accident.
Use the table of contents
Open the guide's contents and jump straight to the section you need instead of scrolling through everything.
Don't look at images in advance
Screenshots and video thumbnails often reveal more than the text. Scroll slowly and read only what you need.
If you're looking for the way to the next area, skip any thumbnail showing the final boss.
Take one hint
Read the first tip and try it yourself. It's often enough, and the rest is more fun to discover in the game.
Close the guide
Once you're past the hard part, go back to playing without the guide. That way you keep the joy of the discoveries ahead.
How to check a guide isn't outdated
- See which version of the game the guide was written for and compare it with the one you have installed
- Check the publication date and when the guide was last updated
- Open the official patch notes and look for changes to the area, item or skill described
- Pay attention to the platform: controls and some details may differ between consoles and PC
- If the guide's advice doesn't match what you see in the game, it was most likely written for a different version
