Renee meets another mysterious woman who is spouting a lot of nonsense about our heroine being an Essential. She then attacks. The fight against her is a pain. She constantly uses portals to teleport and attack with her sword from many different places. She also has several projectiles, which are too fast to react to. It's almost frustrating how many moves she has while Renee is limited to the same 2 weapons and some dodging. Somehow I managed to defeat her, but then she pulls the cliche "Well, actually you are too weak" and disappears. She dropped the Secret Art: Full Moon scroll which gives you access to a specific node on the Skill Tree. Speaking of it, the way you navigate the Skill Tree is a mess. Even if you have enough points for an upgrade, you have no idea what you can purchase, since you can spend points on already unlocked nodes.
Then I reached Resting Town, where I found the Flower of Confluence Afterimage, which is somewhat of a passive ability allowing you to fast travel between Main Streams (the big trees). Here Renee meets Alice - a cook who requires ingredients for a recipe - and Nicole, a witch-in-training who needs ingredients to create a magic potion. Thankfully I had Nicole's ingredients on hand and she have me the Book of Pyro, which enables you to cast fireballs as long as you have mana. You have to actually equip the tome in your inventory to do that.
The next person you meet is and adventurer named Karsa and his companion - a penguin-like creature called Brenda. They are looking for an artefact from an ancient hero known as the Hermit. Further on Renee went into a room where she had to face several giant knights. Upon defeating them you get the slide Afterimage unlocking new paths through tight spaces. Taking an elevator to a waterfall area you find Mastermage Ripe, who knew Renee's master Aros. He also speculated that the woman with the triangular emblem could be a part of a mysterious organisation called the Reincarnates, who are based in the far-East area - the Misty Waters.
In the Field of Geo Renee encounters a mushroom creature who whats its spore back and a merchant called Tark who sells various items and equipment. After I bought a bunch of stuff from him I realised that you can currently only equip one accessory and the other 2 slots are locked. Great...
