Dilmagia Shops in Final Fantasy Resonance (and Chapter 2 Walkthrough Start)

Final Fantasy Resonance’s Chapter 2, “Eternal Blue”, begins in Dirnado on the Continent of Wind. Your first task is “Go to Dilmagia, the machinopolis”. Dilmagia is laid out along a single road stretching north from the south gate. At the crossroads, one path leads west and another east; the shipyard is at the northern end. The weapon and armor shop and the item shop are both on the east branch, and there is no save point in town. Your first story task is to speak with locals around town, then meet Lid. Rain, Lasswell and Fina arrive at about Lv.14 on NORMAL, carrying around 14,500 Gil—enough for most of the stock.

Quick answer: Dilmagia’s weapon and armor shop and its item shop are both on the east branch. The armor clerk sells the Engineer’s Jacket (1,200 Gil), Iron Armor (1,080) and the White Dress (1,320); the weapon clerk sells the Knight’s Blade (1,800) for Rain, the Samurai’s Katana (2,200) for Lasswell and the Composite Bow (2,000) for Fina; the item shop has 12 items from Potion (100) to Mist Ether (2,500), including Earth Scroll I (1,000) with only 3 in stock. There is no save point in town: save on the World Map just outside the south gate. To move the story on, talk to the three marked townspeople, then find Lid at the shipyard; she joins and the objective becomes “Cross over Mt. Thunderclap”.

Arriving in Dilmagia and where to save

On the Dirnado World Map, walk up to the town model. The banner “Dilmagia, the Machinopolis” appears with an “F Proceed” prompt. Press F to enter.

A short scene plays on arrival. Lasswell notes, “The airships and other machines are powered by crystals.” Rain follows with “Since the Wind Crystal should be in Dirnado, let’s start by asking the location of the Wind Shrine.” The party splits up, and the objective changes to “Gather information in Dilmagia”.

There is no save point in Dilmagia, and inside town the System Menu offers only Load, Help, Options, Return to Title and Quit Game. The broader rules are covered in how to save in Final Fantasy Resonance.

On Dilmagia’s west branch, you’ll find an inn marked by a neon bed sign.

Go north along the main street until you reach the crossroads. Walls and crates obstruct the pavement at its corners, preventing a direct turn into either branch. Instead, move a short way south; yellow chevrons painted on the street show where each branch begins. Enter from there and follow the east branch to its end. Beneath a neon Moogle-and-crossed-swords sign, you’ll find the weapon and armor shop’s steel door.

Two clerks share one counter. The Armor Shop Clerk opens with “I’ve got armor that’ll make even the pickiest gearheads in this city weep! See for yourself!”

Buying and equipping

Selecting an item opens “Purchase the following?” with a quantity selector and the total cost. The cursor starts on No, so move it up to Yes. The game then asks “<item> purchased. Equip now?” Picking Yes opens a character picker that pre-selects whoever can use the item and shows old versus new stats side by side.

Each purchase is a straight upgrade over the gear the party brings from Chapter 1:

What to buy in Dilmagia

Gear first, in this order: Knight’s Blade for Rain, Samurai’s Katana for Lasswell, Composite Bow and White Dress for Fina, then Iron Armor for Rain and Lasswell. All six pieces cost 9,480 Gil.

Then buy the three Earth Scroll I (3,000 Gil) for the optional Ramuh fight on Mt. Thunderclap, since Ramuh is weak to Earth. Round it out with a couple of Ethers. For longer-term gear plans, see the best builds.

Chapter 2 walkthrough: Gather information in Dilmagia

Look for the three townspeople with yellow markers. The objective “Gather information in Dilmagia” counts each one, and a Quest Updated banner appears after every conversation.

Dilmagia main street with the objective Gather information in Dilmagia — The objective Gather information in Dilmagia.

Talk to the Older Man by the west rail on the main street, south of the crossroads. He warns you about the route: “You wanna visit the Wind Shrine? Well, I hope you got an airship lined up, kid.” and “It’s a real tough road. And if you’re thinking of hoofing it, it’s chock-full of monsters. I’d never go except by air.”

Tip: the Talk prompt only appears from his east side, so step in toward him from the street.

F Talk prompt beside the Older Man with the Quest Updated banner — Talk to him from his east side.

Head into the west branch. A scene plays at the noticeboard near its entrance. Rain reads “The Drofox Gazette”: “Let’s see… ‘Thundering Mt. Thunderclap’… ‘Local Bard Sings Songs’…” and “Not much on the Wind Shrine, but it’s packed with other articles.” This is the first time the game names Mt. Thunderclap.

Rain reading the Drofox Gazette with the headline Thundering Mt. Thunderclap — The Drofox Gazette names Mt. Thunderclap.

A tutorial follows: “Settlements may have noticeboards with newspapers posted on them. Check them regularly, as reading them can provide useful information about local goings-on.”

Continue to the far west end of the west branch. The Middle-Aged Woman in the green dress stands beside an open, lit doorway. Talk to her from her east side. She says “Dirnado’s all about airships. Go to the shipyard, and you’ll see lots of them being worked on, I bet.” and “Most of them are state-owned though. It’s not so easy to get a ride on one.”

Cross to the east end of the east branch. The Youth stands by the weapon and armor shop door. His Talk prompt only appears from his east side, in the narrow gap between him and the red post, so come up into that gap from below. He opens with “It’s my dream to buy an airship someday.” and later says “Yep! There’s someone at the shipyard who does just that. Her name’s Lid. A bit of an oddball, though.”

The Youth on Dilmagia's east branch saying there is someone named Lid at the shipyard — The Youth names Lid.

The party regroups on the main street. Rain says “Yeah. We should head to the shipyard. There’s a person named Lid there who apparently has her own homebuilt ship.”

Rain telling the party to head to the shipyard to find Lid — The party regroups on the main street.

Fina adds “Woo-hoo! I can’t wait!” The objective changes to “Find Lid at the shipyard”.

Find Lid at the shipyard

Follow the main street north, going beyond the crossroads. The “Shipyard” banner appears as you reach it.

The shutter in front of you is closed. Circle west to reach the stairs, then climb north onto the open deck.

The open deck at the Dilmagia shipyard with Mechabo by the rail — The open deck above Lid’s airship.

Look below the deck rail, beside Lid’s airship. At the rail beneath the yellow marker, press F to trigger the scene.

Watch the conversation. Rain asks to rent her airship, and Lid answers “Huh? Are you serious? Of course not!”

Lid refusing to rent out her airship on the shipyard deck — Lid turns down renting out her airship.

She explains that the ship is under repair and can’t fly right now, then offers to come along instead: “Nah. Think of it as having me as a free guide. It’s a tricky road to the shrine. I’d say it’s a pretty good deal.”

Lid offering to come along as a free guide — She comes along as a free guide instead.

She also introduces her ride: “This is Mechabo, my very own mechanical chocobo. I built him myself!” There’s no dialogue choice to make. Her role, weapon and skills are in how Lid joins the party.

Lid introducing Mechabo, her mechanical chocobo — Lid introduces Mechabo.

Lid closes with “Right, off to the Wind Shrine we go! So, the quickest way is over Mt. Thunderclap to the northeast.”

Lid saying the quickest way to the Wind Shrine is over Mt. Thunderclap to the northeast — Lid points the way to Mt. Thunderclap.

A Quest Updated banner confirms the new Chapter 2 objective, “Cross over Mt. Thunderclap”. Lid is in your party from this point.

Leave the shipyard by map, since no walkway leads back down to the main street. Press M to open the World Map, pick Dilmagia and confirm. You’ll reappear just inside the south gate. Walk out and save before heading north-east, then follow the rest of the route in the Final Fantasy Resonance walkthrough.
