History[]
MÄR Heaven: Devil of Caldea[]
AKT.1 Iffy's Hermitage[]
Team MÄR leaves town and ventures into Caldea Forest to visit a witch named Iffy, who is a renown chaser. Along the way, they come across a cute little fox with an ÄRM collar, and is quick to bond with Snow. With the fox in tow, they continue through the woods and arrive at Iffy's Hermitage. The little fox runs through the open door and the group is quick to follow, yet no one is inside. Iffy quickly arrives back at her house, thankful to have finally found her fox, Izune. Iffy and Dorothy happily reunite and the latter introduces her teammates. Dorothy is jumps to the purpose of their visit, when suddenly another presence arrives outside.
Ginta and Babbo go outside first and see a girl with a living ÄRM of her own. She introduces herself as Wheat and her ÄRM as Gotchi, having come to challenge Ginta and Babbo to a duel to decide who the superior living ÄRM is. After a fierce battle, the duel ends in a stalemate, causing Wheat and Gotchi to retreat with the intention to return again to settle the score.
Back inside the house, Iffy explains that the large stake they encountered is called an Earth Juggler. It activates when thrust into the ground, and coverts energy from the ground into magic power which it then collects. Concluding that the mastermind is likely in Caldea, Iffy instructs Team MÄR to meet with the investigation teams scattered across the islands to locate other Earth Jugglers. She also suggests they take Izune to make use of its ability to find and dig up useful ÄRMs.
AKT.6 Flying ÄRM[]
Team MÄR returns to Iffy's Hermitage to ask her for help in reaching the place above the clouds, and luckily Iffy has an ÄRM that she's carving to do so. To add the finishing touches, she sends them on an errand to retrieve a Chimera Fang and a Roc Bird Feather. Team MÄR ventures to the caves on the south end of the island to obtain the items. When they return, they watch her use the items to finish crafting the Magic Ball. Using it, Team MÄR flies to the place above the clouds, Magritte Cemetery.
AKT.8 ÄRM Shrine[]
Back at Iffy's Hermitage, Snow falls asleep in Iffy's bed while she and Dorothy discuss the next course of action. Iffy concludes that the most likely hiding location Daffy would be in is Torneå North Island, due to their history of playing there together as children and lack of activity from anyone else in Caldea. As they discuss the possibility that Iffy would have to kill Daffy in accordance to Caldean law, Snow appears in the bedroom doorway, having woken up and gotten some rest. Iffy decides to accompany Team MÄR to the shrine to help them confront her sister.
AKT.9 Caldea Palace[]
After defeating Daffy and destroying Gotchi, Iffy gives her gratitude and parting words with each member of MÄR individually. They step out onto her porch, and with Nanashi's Dimension ÄRM, Andata, return to Reginleif. Back in the house, Iffy calls to Wheat to come out, as the latter was hiding in her bedroom. Iffy asked her if she was really okay with not showing herself to Ginta, to which Wheat admitted that she wouldn't know what to say if she saw him. They step outside for a walk in front of the cabin, and Wheat asks if Ginta and the others really could win the War Games. Iffy reassures her with faith that they would.
Strategy Guide[]
Since Iffy spends much of the game in her home, the hermitage serves as base of operations for Team MÄR, as Iffy will give you hints on how to proceed throughout the game if needed. However, after clearing the Undersea Volcanic Cave, you'll return here for Iffy to send you on an errand to craft the Magic Ball, which will allow you to traverse the overworld from the sky.
