How To Break Through Purple Seals In Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time

You're not done with Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time once you've completed its main story. Far from it, in fact. Some things can't be handled until afterward, while others, like mastering all Lives, probably won't have been achieved until post-credits.

Here's where to find all Strangelings in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time so that you can get all the Buddies you could ever want.

One large-scale activity that does need to wait until postgame is the deactivation of Sealed Areas. Throughout Fantasy Life i, you will bump into plenty of these, but you'll need Dark Fire in order to break the barriers and reap the rewards. We're working our way through these, and alongside help from fellow sleuths, we're charting each one to help you prioritize your picks.

This guide is a work in progress!

Purple Seals are those pesky purple-tinted barriers that you will surely encounter in The Depths, in certain caves, and in a handful of other locations throughout Fantasy Life i.

You'll see one when you're in The Depths (B1) for the first time, as it's straight en route to your earliest plot-related destination here. Interact with it - or any other Purple Seal - and you'll be told that there's presently no way to get through. Something along those lines, in any case.

In truth, you can't get past any of these barriers until postgame. This is because you must speak with Edward back at Base Camp, only after finishing the story, to get your first Stone Slate.

Head to Fort Gardhart after you've beaten the game, where Shadow-type monsters will spawn, each with a chance of dropping Dark Fire. Via Dark Fire, you can begin cracking open those seals; but be warned, each seal requires a set amount of Dark Fire, and the costs can get pretty high.

You can reset a room's Shadow monsters by exiting the room and re-entering. This applies to most places in Fantasy Life i, but it's especially handy here. Get that Dark Fire a bit faster!

There's another way to get Dark Fire: there will be a random chance of finding it in Treasure Grove stages. This, too, will only happen during postgame; we prefer the Shadow monsters, but it's an easy (if equally time-consuming) source.

This is a work-in-progress. The community is finding these bit by bit, and as are we. We'll update the list as we unlock further Purple Seals, but grinding for Dark Fire does take some real time!

Remedy's new multiplayer spin-off currently has a lower 24-hour peak than Call of Duty 2 and the Saints Row reboot.

Crimson Desert feels like it came from the future.

"We made the best version of what we released, warts and all."

It's been a massive success for Nintendo, however.

Just let me do a normal race, please!
