The first five worlds end in bosses guarding pieces of the Lor Starcutter. The Energy Spheres are a separate collection, so gathering many spheres does not replace the boss rewards.

Continue beyond the ship repair

Repairing the ship leads to Halcandra and more worlds. Egg Engines and Dangerous Dinner are part of the main adventure rather than optional postgame stages.

Recognize the boss’s second phase

Boss behavior becomes more dangerous after enough damage. Watch for an altered stance or new attack before continuing an aggressive routine that was safe earlier.

Prepare for the story turn after Landia

The adventure does not end simply because the dragon is defeated. The final sequence changes the situation and leads into Another Dimension, where the last confrontations take place.
