Doloc Town Story Walkthrough

This walkthrough lists Doloc Town main story beats in progression order for players who want clarity without wandering. It covers the 1.0 story through Old City Ruins access and assumes single-player play as Proti. Major spoilers sit under labeled sections; stop at Spoiler-free summary if you only need vague direction. For systems help, use Getting Started, Early Game, and How to Play instead of quest names here.

Spoiler-free summary

You arrive, farm, meet Mayor Claud, and investigate River Valley with botanist Alchemy. Guild membership grants movement tools and a combat drone for cave exploration. Mid-story focuses on a terraforming device, treaty port funding, and wetland restoration. Late 1.0 content opens Old City Ruins for the environmental finale. Side quests and friendships run parallel — skipping them slows crafting and drone upgrades needed for harder zones.

Act 1: Welcome to Doloc Town

Meet the Mayor

After Cassia’s farming tutorial, take the elevator to town hall and speak with Mayor Claud. This starts the Eden investigation arc and unlocks mail-based quest updates. Visit Alchemy at the Botanical Research Lab (left of the elevator) when prompted.

Eden of the Valley (River Valley gate)

Travel right from town toward River Valley. A cutscene at the sealed entrance explains the blockage. Wait two in-game days for a letter from Merlin announcing the road is open. Enter the valley; guild induction grants a jetpack and double jump.

Objectives:

• Speak with Alchemy before and after valley trips.
• Find the plant analysis data disk in a hidden room with birds on the right side of the valley — examine the machine inside.
• Return the disk to Alchemy.

Combat tip: Initial drone gear suffices if you dodge; farm modules from drops if struggling — see Drone Combat.

Act 2: Night Assembly and the copper pickaxe

Clearing the rockfall

Quest Night Assembly requires attending a treaty port meeting between 18:00–22:00. Claud’s notebook then tracks resident requests. Upgrade to a copper pickaxe via Merlin (1500 gold, five copper ingots, smelting research). Break the rockfall upper-right in River Valley to advance.

Reward: Tattered layout blueprint — deliver to Claud.

Research reminder: copper ingots need engineering smelting upgrades from Early Game priorities.

Act 3: Legendary terraforming device

Jetpack repair and core sample

Show the blueprint to Mira at the outpost beyond the rockfall to start jetpack repair. Gather three rubber (research-dependent) for air dash mobility.

Explore valley upper-left for the core extractor machine to obtain a core sample. Enemies here hit harder — upgrade drone modules and bring food buffs.

Secret cave device

Find the terraforming apparatus bottom-left of your farm; entering leads to a secret cave. Inspect the machine and report findings to Alchemy.

Mody’s wiring puzzle

Consult Mody for repair advice; receive battery recipe notes. Repair requires two small batteries and five power cables. Follow wiring choices carefully — wrong selections fail the minigame but return materials:

1. Connect right red wire to left blue.
2. Connect left red to damaged green.
3. Connect right blue to damaged yellow.
4. Connect damaged black to damaged white.
5. Join opposite bottom pair.
6. Power on the control panel.

Achievement Eden’s Tech unlocks after this arc.

Act 4: Port funding and wetlands

River dredging and Mayor’s Glory

Insert the core sample into the terraforming device. Terraforming progress also scores from samples you already collected — crops, monsters, items across the Map.

Save 5000 gold to fund treaty port restoration (takes several days after payment). Parallel fetch for Paiea’s private exchange: rusted key, ten wax apples, ten honey wax apples — unlocks Wetlands travel.

Achievement Mayor’s Glory completes this chapter. Eden fruit rewards permanent max HP and stamina — use deliberately.

Wetland restoration

In wetlands, examine the stone tablet and reservoir. Expect stronger enemies; consult Regions and Gathering for safe paths.

Repair four broken pipes (needs three pipe repair kits beyond starters). Install the lotus prototype in the terraforming device when Alchemy directs.

Act 5: Old City Ruins (Version 1.0)

After wetland completion, Alchemy authorizes Old City Ruins entry — the 1.0 expansion zone for story finale and advanced loot. Prepare gene-protected crops, automation backups, and lightning-safe power from Automation before relocating base materials for long expeditions.

Treaty port visitor requests continue alongside main beats; they fund recipes and decor tied to festivals.
