FIELD OBSTACLES

To advance your conquest efficiently, it is wise to take the time to chart your surroundings and prioritize mapping each area as you uncover. You may even uncover hidden routes or unexpected shortcuts along the way.

SEALING BARRIERS AND ARKS

Accessing an Ark triggers a boss. Defeating the boss allows you to remove the Sealing Barrier connected to it and move onwards.

BLOCKERS

Gimmicks blocking the path including rocks that can be destroyed with explosive items, vines that can be removed with burning items, and valleys that can be crossed with dodging boost items.

SIDE QUESTS

Finding clues for side quests unlocks side quests held by NPCs in town. The locations of the clues are indicated on the map with specific icons.

SURVEY FLAGS

There are Survey Flags in towns and on the field. You can investigate and register them on the database which gives you more insight into the world of Aincrad. There is a reward for collecting the world data.

MAGICAL BRIDGES

When seals are broken, magical bridges will be available, allowing you to use them as shortcuts for explorations.
