Another Eden Begins Guide: Beginner Tips & First Hours

Another Eden Begins is a premium, single-player time-travel JRPG from WRIGHT FLYER STUDIOS that retells the first story arc of the mobile game Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space — with no gacha, no energy timers and no online requirement. If you are starting today, four things decide whether the first ten hours feel smooth or frustrating: understanding Breaking, farming Proofs correctly, picking the right early party, and not walking past the opening area's collectibles.

This page covers those four, then walks the first hour step by step.

Breaking is the whole combat system

Most players read "break" as a stun. It is not.

• Breaking an enemy applies something closer to a status ailment: it makes that enemy weak to a specific element (fire, water, earth, wind).
• Weakness alone doubles your damage. A broken weakness doubles it again.

The numbers from a worked example: a fire sword hit that normally deals 5,000 becomes 10,000 against a fire-weak enemy, and 20,000 against that enemy while it is broken. Bosses that feel like walls early on stop being walls once you break them consistently, and later bosses lean on this even harder.

Practical takeaway: build your party so you can both apply and exploit a break on the element a boss is weak to, instead of stacking raw damage.

Proofs: kill the same vicious monster three times

Proofs are this game's accessory slot — every character can equip two.

They drop from the vicious monsters: the enemies marked on the map with a red glow, far stronger than anything else on the field. Beating one gives heavy EXP, gold and its Proof.

The part that is easy to miss: Proofs come in bronze, silver and gold ranks, and defeating the same vicious monster again upgrades that same Proof instead of giving you a second one. In the worked example from the source video, a fire-resistance Proof reads 10% at bronze, 15% at silver and 20% at gold.

So the correct loop is: kill a vicious monster once, open the menu and read what its Proof actually does. If it is useful, hunt that same monster two more times immediately. Players who fight each vicious monster only once end up mid-game with a bag full of bronze Proofs and no memory of where the monsters were.

Who to bring in the early party

Two early picks carry the first arc:

Character	Why	Source
Aldo	The protagonist and the strongest character in the game: fire sword attacks, can apply fire break himself, and his X Slash clears groups of random encounters	Video guide (single source)
Yuna	Arrives early, in the volcano area (to confirm): piercing bow damage plus water damage, giving you a second element to break with	Video guide (single source)

The party logic matters more than the names: you want one reliable AoE clearer for random battles, and at least two damage elements so you can hit whatever a boss is weak to. The published walkthrough deliberately avoids boss strategies — the game expects you to experiment.

The first hour, step by step

The opening chapter is "Dawn Rises in Baruoki". The sequence below follows the published walkthrough; directions are the game's own (N/S/E/W), and the local map is always available on Start / Options.

1. Mayor's House — after the opening cutscenes you hold a Short Sword. Open the left drawer for 300 Git, talk to Feinne for a Feinne-Style Homemade Sandwich, then leave for Baruoki.
2. Baruoki — the battle tutorial hands you an equippable Village Guard Proof. Climb down the well to the north for a Leather Ring (Aldo cannot equip it). West of the main objective, a girl's balloon flies away; in the house west of the north-east objective, the drawer holds 3 Low-Grade Thread. North-west, a girl is looking for a cat named Soryk.
3. Ashtear's House — the north-west drawer contains 200 Git; talk to Ashtear, then head back out.
4. Follow the green exclamation points. They mark main objectives — if you lose the thread, they are the only marker you need.

Collectibles you should not walk past

The opening area quietly seeds five collection systems, and the achievements are tied to completing each codex, not to picking up a single item:

• Weapons — All That's Fit to Hit
• Food — The Great Gourmand
• Badges — Badge Badger
• Armor — Te Amo, Mi Armor
• Items — The Cat Beyond Free Time and Space

Cats, food, and the secret shops that sell special items are the collectibles the walkthrough flags as you pass them. None are missable-critical, but backtracking later costs more time than grabbing them now.

What changes after the credits

Completing the main story unlocks New Game+, which is not a plain replay: it adds narrative elements, new endings, NG+ exclusive equipment, and carries your stats over. The published walkthrough covers the first playthrough only, and it explicitly excludes the paid DLC characters — if you buy the character packs, your roster will differ from the base guide.
