After escaping Mount Pang Lai and passing through Costa Valor, the Luminary and Rab reach the monster-infested wilderness of The Champs Sauvage. While journeying southward toward Phnom Nonh and the Nhou Wat ruins, a storyline sequence triggers on the central river crossing involving Sylvando leading a flamboyant entourage. Players must navigate past upgraded fiends to reach the southern settlements, revisit L'Académie, and secure new monster mounts to access previously unreachable ledges.
