The Cat Beyond Time and Space/Post-Chapter 26

What should I do after Chapter 25...?

You have made it through the first part of the main story. Congratulations, it was tough a journey! You have several options now. This list is not a guide, just a few pointers. If you haven't already please see the Roadmap for Current Content as guide of the game.

• Continue the main story, this is the most obvious step. However, from now on there will be requirements you have to fulfill first.
• Sidestories and Symphony in the menu section. You can find all of them neatly organized there. Symphonies are collabs with other games. They reward you with free characters that are very useful for filling out spots in your teams, because those characters tend to be good. You can also collect useful rewards.
• Chance Encounters. These are characters you can recruit through a series of 5 battles, which become harder every time you battle them.
  • The first one is Azami. She is at the Serena Coast, near Rinde.
  • The second one is Gariyu. You will have to face the Flame Eater. It can be started at Zol Plains.
• You have unlocked Very Hard difficulty for Another Dungeons. This is the blue door in the spacetime rift. If you haven't already been there, make it your habit to use your red and green keys whenever you can because they won't regenerate while you are at maximum keys. Running Another Dungeons is required for Tsubura's Gems
• You have unlocked the Nopaew Emporium. This is also at the Spacetime Rift, where the previously closed off stairs were. This little guy can further upgrade your equipment. Keep in mind he does not sell weapons and armors. Only certain Lv60 equipment apply. The equipment needs to already be in your possession if you come here.
• The first time you clear an AD on Very Hard, doesn't matter which one, you will unlock the Nopaew Emporium. He sells treatises, codices and chant scripts at very steep prices. He also sells 10 Hard tickets and 10 Very Hard Tickets which resets weekly. The recommendation is to buy the Hard and Very Hard Tickets to maximize your chances of getting Another Dungeon only rewards.
• Upgrade the story characters' Guiding Light or Luring Shadow . You don't have to do this for all of them but it is good to have at least 2 characters at very high Light and Shadow respectively. It comes with many benefits, such as stat increases and extra skill slots, and you will be getting rewards reliably from ADs.
• Clear Character and Side Quests. The more areas you unlock, the more quests you will get. However they will quickly pile up, so if you have time on your hands, clear them before moving on.
• Cradle of Time is unlocked at Spacetime Rift and offer Guiding Light and Luring Shadow as rewards which can help you reach Another Dungeon completion reward requirements.
• Weapon Manifestation is unlocked at the Spacetime Rift.
• Still need help? You can visit our subreddit or discord server if you are still stuck or need help with anything. Both of them are linked on the sidebar on the left top.
