Final Fantasy Resonance Kolobos Ruins Walkthrough (Route, Chest, Save Points and The Hunger)

Your journey through the Kolobos Ruins in Final Fantasy Resonance starts in the entrance hall, continues across a room of fallen columns and a walkway, then plunges into the basement when the metal bridge breaks. Climb out by ladder and follow the lengthy corridor to an Ether chest, the inner save circle and Dr. Lazarov’s lab, where The Hunger awaits.

Quick answer: Go up, along the south walkway, down to the green tanks room, fall into the basement, then follow the corridor north. Save at the inner circle; there is no save point before The Hunger.

Entering the Kolobos Ruins

The ruins building sits in a rock hollow south-east of Felicitas. If you still need the route there, here is how to get to the Kolobos Ruins. At the door, press F on “Proceed”. The banner reads “Kolobos Ruins” and “Recommended Level 7”.

Kolobos Ruins door with Proceed and Recommended Level 7 banner — The Kolobos Ruins: Recommended Level 7.

Emma is waiting in the entrance hall, terrified: “They’re coming… The scary monsters are coming…” The monsters turn out to be Rain’s own men, now wraith soldiers, and Rain asks the obvious question.

Rain asks how his men were turned into wraith soldiers — Rain’s men have been turned into wraith soldiers.

A scripted fight against three Lv.5 Wraith Soldiers (240 HP, Reaper) follows. Finishing it on a stagger with the Stagger Finish Bonus pays 54 EXP, 90 Gil and 8 MRP. Afterward the objective changes to “Look for Emma’s mom”, and the entrance hall’s pink save circle autosaves the game.

Entrance save circle with the objective Look for Emma's mom — The objective becomes “Look for Emma’s mom” at the entrance circle.

At a save circle, choose Save Point > Rest in a tent to use one Tent and restore the party. The “Use item?” prompt starts on No; change the selection before you confirm.

Tent pitched on a Kolobos Ruins save circle — Rest in a tent restores the party at a save circle.

The Secrets Unearthed samples are found outdoors in the field rather than within the ruins. Look for one marker immediately west of the ruins building.

Entrance to the green tanks room

From the entrance circle, head north to the landing. Take the wide stairs to the east.

From the top landing, go west. Climb the stairs in the north-west corner into the room with the fallen column.

Follow the south walkway east. At its far end, two Ghouls and a hooded Ghost corner someone, and a scripted fight starts. The Ghoul is Lv.7 with 300 HP and the Reaper type; the Ghost is Lv.7, 300 HP, Humanoid, and “Easily staggered.”

Lv.7 Ghoul target info in the walkway fight — The scripted walkway fight: Ghouls and a Ghost.

Winning with the Stagger Finish Bonus pays 60 EXP, 200 Gil and 8 MRP.

Battle Result 60 EXP 200 Gil 8 MRP after the walkway fight — The walkway fight pays 60 EXP, 200 Gil and 8 MRP.

From the east end of the walkway, go south down the long stairs. They end in a room full of green tanks and a console.

Green tanks room in the Kolobos Ruins — The green tanks room at the bottom of the long stairs.

Random fights on the upper floors can include two Ghosts with an Enhanced Wraith Soldier (Lv.9, 650 HP). That group pays 90 EXP, 260 Gil and 13 MRP.

Bridge collapse and the basement fight

Walk onto the metal bridge east of the tanks and a scene takes over. The bridge collapses and drops the party into a basement hall lined with armour statues, with a ladder on one side. Rain says “Damn it, more wraith soldiers!” and four Wraith Soldiers attack in a scripted fight.

Collapsed metal bridge in the Kolobos Ruins — The metal bridge collapses into the basement.

All four are weak to Fire, so Rain’s Fire hits several at once and staggers them. They still hit hard on NORMAL. A single hit can take Lasswell from 672 HP down to 43, so heal early rather than late.

Rain: Damn it, more wraith soldiers! in the basement — Four Wraith Soldiers attack in the basement.

The win, with the Stagger Finish Bonus, pays 200 EXP, 160 Gil and 26 MRP.

Battle Result 200 EXP 160 Gil 26 MRP after the basement fight — The basement fight pays 200 EXP, 160 Gil and 26 MRP.

Basement to the Ether chest and inner save circle

Use the ladder at the basement hall’s north end to reach the east landing.

Take the stairs east and then north into the long corridor running north. Random fights here can pair two Poplium with a Ghost. Poplium is Lv.8 with 700 HP, the Reaper type, and it “Uses Poison attacks.” and “Uses Blind attacks.” Bring Antidote Herbs and Eye Drops.

Libra on Poplium Lv.8 Reaper — Poplium uses Poison and Blind attacks.

Once you reach the corridor’s end, explore the dead end along the east ledge. Its chest contains Ether x2.

Chest with Ether x2 in the Kolobos Ruins — The east-ledge chest holds Ether x2.

From the top of the corridor, go west down the stairs to the inner save circle, the second one in the ruins. Touching it the first time shows “You can now return to the save point at the entrance.” and adds Teleport to the Save Point menu, which moves you between the two circles. More on how save points work is covered separately.

You can now return to the save point at the entrance message — The inner save circle unlocks Teleport.

Before continuing, save and Rest in a tent here. No other save point lies between this circle and the boss.

Dr. Lazarov and The Hunger boss fight

Leave the inner circle heading north and pass through the arch into the lab, where green tanks fill the room. Entering immediately starts the Dr. Lazarov scene; you won’t get a door prompt beforehand.

Dr. Lazarov in the Kolobos Ruins lab with green tanks — The lab north of the inner save circle, where the boss fight starts.

He calls himself “The man who gave your subordinates new life”, says he works with the Sworn Six, and tells you the missing survey team is “in the cells in back”. He signs off with “You’ll have to play with this instead.” and the boss fight begins immediately, with no chance to save.

Phase	Level	HP	Weak to
The Hunger	Lv.9	2,500	Ice
The Hunger v2	Lv.10	7,000	Light
Enhanced Wraith Soldier (x2, phase 2)	Lv.9	650	Light, Fire

Phase 2 brings two Enhanced Wraith Soldiers in alongside The Hunger v2. Both share its Light weakness, so Light damage covers the whole field. The full strategy is in how to beat The Hunger, and full boss stats sit in the bosses list.

Libra on The Hunger v2 Lv.10 — The Hunger v2, the second phase of the boss.

Victory pays 650 EXP, 325 Gil with the “Overkill Bonus”, 39 MRP with the “Stagger Finish Bonus”, and Potion x2.

Battle Result after The Hunger: 650 EXP, 325 Gil, 39 MRP, Potion x2 — The boss pays 650 EXP, 325 Gil, 39 MRP and Potion x2.

If the party is defeated, choosing Retry starts the battle over at phase 1, but items you’ve used stay spent.

After The Hunger: Back to Felicitas

Lazarov escapes, and Rain says “He got away…” Emma finds her mother’s bag (“Her tools and the rocks she dug up are inside…”), and a crystal holds her mother’s afterimage. Lasswell explains: “It’s just her afterimage within the crystal. Her last thoughts.”

Lasswell beside the crystal holding Emma's mother's afterimage — A crystal holds the afterimage of Emma’s mother.

The survey team is rescued and the party returns to the Town of Felicitas. Lasswell says they need a ship to reach Dirnado, and that Grandport lies west of the desert. You know the dungeon is done when “Quest Updated: Chapter 1 – Tailing the Truth / Find a ship in Grandport” appears and the game autosaves in Felicitas. The next leg continues in the Final Fantasy Resonance walkthrough.

Quest Updated: Find a ship in Grandport, in the Town of Felicitas — After the Kolobos Ruins, the objective becomes Find a ship in Grandport.

For another visit, fast travel to Kolobos Ruins using the World Map. You’ll arrive at the entrance circle; use Teleport to go directly to the inner circle.
