1. Follow the opening objective to the Le Locle training lodge. Anelace accompanies Estelle during training.
2. Complete the channel training area, inspecting switches and newly opened connections when the path seems blocked.
3. Return to the current objective after each encounter and recheck the party’s available skills.
4. Continue through the forest and fortress portions of the training arc, saving between major transitions.

1. After the training battle with Kurt, inspect your available S-Crafts.
2. On Steam, update to demo 1.00.2 or later if the unlock is missing.
3. Load the affected save again. The official fix explicitly says existing affected saves receive the S-Crafts on load.

Make a separate save and review the party’s current equipment and Orbments. Keep recovery items available for the next dungeon instead of spending everything on optional grinding.

Chapter 1 opens up Ruan and its surrounding region. Use the chapter checklist before committing to its final investigation, then keep the finished demo save for the full-game import.
