Elite Training Chapter 2 in Aniimo carries the name Charge into Battle!, and it sits directly in front of the next chunk of the main story. Until you clear it, Ancient Sacred Fragrance stays locked and Dr. Lewis has nothing to validate. The chapter is short on paper — four required tasks and a level check — but two of those tasks send you across the map and one of them asks for a regional collection badge.
Quick answer: Press F3 to open Elite Training, finish the four required tasks listed under Core Courses: Charge into Battle!, reach level 35, then hit Claim on the chapter.
Elite Training Chapter 2 requirements: level 35 and four required tasks
Chapter 2 is a Core Course, which means it tracks main story progression rather than open-world exploration. It asks for character level 35 and four completed required tasks, after which Dr. Lewis signs off and the Ancient Relic of Beast Fang Ridge assessment opens up.
The tasks are drawn from a wider pool, so the four you see listed may not match another player’s set exactly. Every entry in the pool is below.
| Task | Where it happens |
|---|---|
| Own 1 Aniimo with Resonance at Tier 2 | Aniimo menu |
| Challenge the Alpha of Argent Strait: Tubster | The Argent Strait |
| Earn the Bronze Collection Badge in Beast Fang Ridge | Beast Fang Ridge |
| Defeat the Alpha in Beast Fang Ridge: Scorchhowl | Beast Fang Ridge |
| Visit the place where dreams come true | Lumenfly Valley |
| Own your Homeland | Prologue: The Wondrous RV |
| Spend 150 Primegy in total | Anywhere |
Elite Training objectives are never missable. If you skip one now and move on to a later chapter, you can come back, finish it, and claim the reward whenever you like.
Own 1 Aniimo with Resonance at Tier 2
This is the fastest of the four to clear, because it costs nothing but EXP items and materials you have probably been hoarding since the prologue. Your starter is the obvious candidate — it has been in the party the longest and likely sits closest to the cap.
Challenge the Alpha of Argent Strait: Tubster
The Argent Strait is a Breezy Plains coastal zone built for levels 28 to 32, so a team in the low thirties handles it comfortably. While you are there, the area holds 38 chests, 10 Lumin Amber, 3 Blooms, a bonfire, a Lumin collection point, 3 ecological points and 6 Pathfinder Challenges — all of which feed your player EXP on the way to the level 35 gate.
Earn the Bronze Collection Badge in Beast Fang Ridge
This is the long one. The Bronze Collection Badge for the region — Primal Breath — needs your Beast Fang Ridge collection survey at 40%, and that percentage only moves when you capture species you have not logged in that area yet. Expect a full lap of the zone, in both daytime and nighttime.
If Defeat the Alpha in Beast Fang Ridge: Scorchhowl is also in your four, clear it during the same visit. First-time Alpha kills pay 500 player EXP on top of the training reward.
The remaining Chapter 2 tasks
Three entries in the pool need no travel plan at all, and one of them you may have already cleared without realising.
- Visit the place where dreams come true — completed by reaching the Somniwing’s throne in Lumenfly Valley during The Land Where Dreams Come True.
- Own your Homeland — requires finishing the Prologue: The Wondrous RV quest, which also starts your resource production.
- Spend 150 Primegy in total — accumulates passively from Alpha reward claims and Daily Supply Packs.
Reaching character level 35
The level requirement tends to lag behind the tasks, since story quests alone will not carry you from 25 to 35. Capture-based objectives are the efficient route here because they pay twice, once for the mission clear and once for the catch itself.
- Daily activities: up to 3,000 EXP per day, in 600 EXP checkpoints.
- First-time Alpha clears: 500 EXP each, dropping to 150 EXP for repeat claims.
- Pathfinder Challenges: 300 EXP each.
- Sanctums: roughly 500 EXP per clear.
- Daily Supply Packs: 250 EXP for 50 energy, three per day.
NPC duels, unclaimed rewards from earlier Elite Training chapters, and Lumin Amber pickups you pass on the way all add up too. Before grinding anything new, sweep your Elite Training screen for objectives you finished but never claimed.
Claim Charge into Battle! and confirm it worked
Completing a task does not close the chapter on its own. Each one has to be claimed individually, and then the chapter itself has to be claimed.
Clearing the promotion raises your Aniimo level cap to 40, which is exactly what Chapter 3 will start asking for. Anything you left behind in Chapter 2 stays claimable, so if you skipped the Primegy spend or the Homeland prologue to keep the story moving, they are still waiting in the menu whenever you want the EXP.
