All 13 Chapters in Order

Two independent guide databases list the same chapter names, so this table is cross-verified. Each chapter is tied to one region of blight-covered Japan, and you unlock regions strictly in story order.

How the Story Is Structured

The chapter names trace the life cycle of a plant — sprouting, branching, rotting, blooming and falling — mirroring Emma’s journey to cleanse the blight. There is no side-quest system: progression is a single main questline, with optional exploration, elite hunts and collectibles layered on top of each region.

Each chapter follows a similar rhythm: reach the new region with the Cleanse Walker, open up campsites, push toward that region’s Nushi or Malefact, and absorb its power before moving on. Boss order is fixed — see our boss list for every encounter by chapter.

How Long the Walkthrough Takes

A focused story run takes roughly 25–35 hours depending on difficulty and how much you explore. Full completion — all 323 collectibles, every weapon and the NG+ trophy — lands around 60–80 hours. The full time breakdown compares every published estimate.

Chapter Milestones Worth Knowing
