Sakurajima’s map: Moonflower Tower, Southern Sandbar, more
Sakurajima is a whole new huge island located on the western side of the map, to the north of Mount Obsidian and west of the Astral Mountains. There is a lot to do and many new places to explore. The easiest way to travel to Sakurajima is by traveling to either of the followingFast Travelpoints and using aflying mountto travel west:
The island itself is made up of different areas, with Arid desert-like areas to both the North and South shores, Mushroom Wetlands to the East, and Cherry Blossom forests in the middle. Exploring these areas, you’ll come across many of the newly added Pals, including bothCroajiroandChillet Ignis.
There are a total ofseven Fast Travelpoints (including the one at the top of Moonflower Tower) to be unlocked on Sakurajima:
Once you get to the island, you’ll face off against new enemies as well as Pals. Here, rather than the usual groups of Syndicate Thugs that you’re used to, you’ll encounter groups of Moonflower Jonin, Genin and Ronin. These new human enemies move very quickly and can be troublesome, but aren’t too difficult to overcome once you’ve got a lock on them. They’re also good practise in preparation for taking on Moonflower Tower, where you’ll go to battle against the newTower Boss Duo, Saya and Selyne.
There’s also a newDungeontype on Sakurajima, Sakura Cave, the inside of which is heavily inspired by classic Japanese architecture. At level 52, these Dungeons can be hard to get through but you’re guaranteed to get one of the newly added Pals as the final boss, and also at least one slab for bothBellanoire Liberoand Blazamut Ryu in the final chest, as well as other very useful items.
