Chapter 2 Prep Guide

A practical pre-snowfields checklist for resistance, item stock, route planning, and team setup before chapter 2 starts asking more from your build.

Chapter 2 punishes weak preparation more than weak intentions. If you enter without enough route discipline, supplies, or elemental answers, small mistakes become expensive fast.

Quick answer

Before chapter 2, fix your resistance, clean your inventory, bring enough healing, and make sure your team can survive thunder-heavy encounters without needing perfect turns every fight.

What to fix before entering chapter 2

  • Craft at least one resistance-aware gear piece.
  • Restock healing and route support items.
  • Clear low-value inventory clutter before long loops.

Chapter 2 team check

Your team does not need to be perfect, but it does need to be stable. If thunder encounters force too many emergency turns, your setup is not ready yet.
