This guide explains how to begin and continue the main story for Episode 16.1: Banquet for Heroes and Episode 16.2: Terra Gloria on GladiusRO.
Important: Episode 16.2 continues directly from Episode 16.1. Complete the Episode 16.1 main story before trying to begin Terra Gloria.
Episode 16.1: Banquet for Heroes
Requirements
- Base Level: 100 or higher
- Complete one of the New World access requirements:
- Onward to the New World
- Cat Paw Agent
- Keep enough free inventory weight before starting.
Starting NPC
Speak to a Royal Messenger. The easiest starting location is:
- Map: Prontera
- Coordinates: 121, 72
@warp prontera 121 72
Royal Messengers are also available in Rachel, Aldebaran, Alberta, Veins, Geffen, Payon, Morocc, Yuno, and Lighthalzen.
The messenger gives you a Banquet Invitation and offers to send you near Prontera Palace.
Main Story Walkthrough
1. Enter Prontera Palace
Travel to the northern entrance of Prontera Palace.
@warp prontera 156 327
Enter the palace and follow the passage. Chamberlain Bell, also called Belle, will guide you to the special guest room.
In the palace, follow these directions:
- Enter Prontera Palace.
- Follow Belle through the left corridor.
- Enter the first room in the western guest-room area.
- Speak to Belle inside the Hero's Room.
2. Visit the Seven Royal Families
Belle asks you to greet all seven royal families staying in the palace:
- Heine
- Nerius
- Walther
- Wigner
- Richard
- Roegenburg
- Geoborg
The western villa contains Heine, Nerius, and Walther. The eastern side contains Wigner, Richard, Geoborg, and Roegenburg.
Speak to the required members of every family. If you are unsure which family remains, return to Belle. She will tell you which visit is incomplete.
3. Attend the Royal Banquet
After greeting all families, return to Belle. She will direct you to the Banquet Hall and give:
- 300,000 Base EXP
- 300,000 Job EXP
- 10 Token of Honor
Proceed to the Banquet Hall and speak to the members of the Nerius family. Walk through the palace corridor event when instructed. Some scenes are activated by walking over hidden trigger areas, so do not teleport past nearby corridors.
4. Follow the Suspicious Activity
Continue speaking to the highlighted NPCs and follow the suspicious palace activity. Return to Belle whenever the next destination is unclear.
The main story eventually sends you to the Room of Consciousness with Court Mage Nillem.
5. Room of Consciousness
Speak to Nillem when he appears in the Hero's Room. He can transport you to the Past Memories of the Royal Family.
Complete the Room of Consciousness story sequence and follow the quest markers until you return to the palace.
6. Finish Episode 16.1
Continue the palace investigation and complete the remaining main-story conversations. Episode 16.1 must progress far enough to unlock the first Room of Consciousness access before Episode 16.2 can begin.
Episode 16.1 Tips
- Check the quest window after every conversation.
- Return to Belle in the Hero's Room if you lose the main-story route.
- Walk normally through palace corridors because several scenes use automatic area triggers.
- Do not skip a royal family during the greeting section.
- Keep some free inventory space for quest items and Token of Honor rewards.
Episode 16.2: Terra Gloria
Requirement
You must have progressed Episode 16.1 far enough to access the Room of Consciousness for the first time.
Starting Location
Return to the Hero's Room inside Prontera Palace. Enter the room and approach Nihil M. Heine, Skia Nerius, and Spica Nerius.
If no Episode 16.2 NPC appears, check that Episode 16.1 has reached the required Room of Consciousness stage.
Main Story Walkthrough
1. Secret Action
Speak to Nihil, Skia, and Spica in the Hero's Room. After the discussion, Nihil asks you to meet Crux and Skia at Lighthalzen Airport.
2. Meet Crux at Lighthalzen Airport
Find Crux at:
- Map: lhz_airport
- Coordinates: 189, 39
@warp lhz_airport 189 39
Speak to Crux. You will be instructed to search the northern and northeastern parts of Lighthalzen for the suspect Bruno.
3. Search Northern Lighthalzen
Walk near:
- Map: Lighthalzen
- Trigger area: around 186, 293
@warp lighthalzen 186 293
Approach the area normally to activate the conversation between the suspicious characters. After the scene, report to Skia and proceed toward the southern slum.
4. Pursue Bruno
Go to the southeastern side of Lighthalzen:
- Bruno area: around 309, 263
@warp lighthalzen 309 263
Speak to the man identified as Bruno and complete the scene involving Crux, Skia, and the suspicious mercenary.
Afterward, return to Prontera Palace and continue the discussion in the Hero's Room.
5. Travel to Yuno Airport
The next mission sends you to Yuno Airport. Speak to Crux at:
- Map: y_airport
- Coordinates: 168, 41
@warp y_airport 168 41
Crux explains that Spica has moved to a hotel in Lighthalzen. Accept his transport or travel there yourself.
6. Meet Spica and Philopontess
Inside the Lighthalzen hotel, meet Spica, Crux, and Philopontess, also known as Tess.
- Map: lhz_in02
- Meeting area: around 239, 145
@warp lhz_in02 239 145
Speak to Spica first, then Tess. Follow the conversation carefully to continue the investigation.
7. Continue Toward Einbroch and Werner Laboratory
The story continues through the Schwaltzvalt Republic, including:
- Lighthalzen
- Yuno
- Einbroch
- Einbech
- Einbroch train station
- Werner Laboratory
Follow the active quest marker and speak to the NPC named in the quest window. Several objectives require walking into a marked area rather than speaking directly to an NPC.
8. Complete Terra Gloria
Continue the investigation until Terra Gloria is recovered and the group returns to the Hero's Room. At the conclusion, the final palace reward includes:
- 500,000 Base EXP
- 500,000 Job EXP
- 10 Token of Honor
After completing the story, Spica directs you toward the Werner Laboratory entrance for the next adventure.
