Checks before you start reading
- The present-day protagonist is Maxim's descendant. Do not confuse him with Maxim, the protagonist of II, or mix up story towns and ships.
- Find your location in the chapter list and follow the detailed page's order. If a return-to-town conversation remains, defeating a boss alone will not open the next route.
- The first game's Ancient Cave concerns requests and unlocking floors. Do not apply the entry conditions of II's 99-floor random dungeon.
| Character | Joining / escort milestone | Combat member? |
