Rhapsodies Of Vanadiel Mission V2 Step By Step

This RoV was lacking some lion action!

maby because she is inside the crystal right now due to the events at the end of zilart? I assume RoV will talk about apocalypse nigh stuff in chapter 3

How much story progress do I need for the crashing wave cutscene?

I only just completed Purple, The New Black (WOTG mission 7 and have only done Sandy city quests) and then I zoned back into Sandy (S) for a cut scene with Lilisette who mentioned we can enter WoE through a Maw.

Went to the Ballita Downs maw (in the present) and when you select it gives you the option if you want to go to the past or walk of echoes.

Select the WoE option and you'll appear in the usual place and can go up the stairs to the ornate door.

After the CS you'll pop out in Grauberg by the ??? which pops the NM. Once the NM is dead (check ??? again) you can use the conflux nearby to re-enter WoE.

Hope this hasn't repeated anything, but can help someone out.

I don't get the option at the maw, something must be bugged!

I'm on the mission Crashing Waves, I got the cutscene with my inventory full, it tried to give me the cipher and then never gave me the next mission

Is there any chance that Square Enix will make it so you don't have to complete Wings of the Goddess to do Cauterize in RoV?

Finishing wings wasn't necessary for Cauterize, some people just got bugged and couldn't get cs, which was what that notice was for. The issue following that was not being able to access the correct version of Walk of Echoes without having high WotG missions done (47) or having VW Jeuno path done. Today's patch seems to have fixed that and I was able to enter the right WoE zone through the Batallia cavernous maw.

This still requires WotG 7 to be done to trigger the cutscene with Lilisette in Sandy (S), but so far that should be it. A later mission required atomos/cait sith fights to be done, but only if you had finished WotG and not done those fights yet. If you've not yet progressed to those missions, you don't need to finish them, LS mates have completed RoV with WotG 47 done and no further.

Still remains to be seen if it can be finished with just WotG 7, will report back if I hit a roadblock.

According to the list, Goddess wasn't the issue, It was not people not having Treasures completed.

For ToAU, you need to be up to a minimum of ToAU 17 to get the cutscene with Aphmau.

SE should've just made a blanket rule that you need to be 100% completed on all other storyline missions to begin Rhapsodies. It would've upset some people, but at least it would've prevented this mess.
