How to Start Endless Ragnarok
How to start Granblue Fantasy Relink Endless Ragnarok: story requirements, Seedhollow portal route, first-hour checklist, Conflux bridge, and Chaos prep.
Quick start checklist
To start Endless Ragnarok smoothly, clear the base game's main story path first, including the Proto Bahamut progression that closes the original campaign arc. After that, return to Seedhollow and follow the new portal-related questline that introduces the expansion threat and leads toward the Conflux.
- Finish the base story and required post-story progression.
- Check Seedhollow for the new portal / investigation objective.
- Run the opening expansion missions until Conflux systems appear.
- Pause and upgrade your main character plus AI party before pushing deeper.
- Use Conflux farming to prepare for Chaos-tier quests and harder walls.
What you need before entering Endless Ragnarok
Endless Ragnarok is an expansion, so you need access to the base game. The expansion is built for players who understand Relink's core loop: build a character, farm bosses, upgrade weapons and sigils, then push harder quests for better rewards. If you are coming back after months away, do not rush straight into late-game checks. Spend a short session relearning your main character and checking your sigil loadout.
| Requirement | Why it matters | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Base story cleared | Expansion story follows the original campaign. | Main story and Proto Bahamut-related progression complete. |
| Functional main build | Early fights punish underbuilt characters. | Weapon upgrades, Damage Cap, crit, survival tools. |
| AI party baseline | Solo players rely on AI stability. | At least three companions with survivability and useful roles. |
| Material plan | New systems consume upgrade resources quickly. | Use Conflux and journal rewards before hard walls. |
Where to go after the base story
After the required base-game progression, head to Seedhollow and look for the new investigation route tied to the mysterious portal. If you do not see the objective, re-check unfinished story flags, post-game quest requirements, and whether the expansion content is installed and enabled on your platform.
Do not confuse normal post-game farming with the expansion start. The expansion route should introduce new story beats and eventually point you toward Conflux systems. If you are only seeing familiar Maniac/Proud farming loops, you probably have a missing story flag or installation issue.
Your first hour in Endless Ragnarok
The best first hour is not about rushing. Your goal is to unlock the new loop, understand what changed, and avoid wasting rare materials before you know what your main character needs.
- Play the opening missions normally. Learn what the expansion expects before optimizing.
- Claim journal and menu rewards. Community reports highlight useful materials and upgrade items hidden in menu rewards.
- Unlock Conflux access. This becomes one of the best ways to strengthen your roster.
- Test your damage on the training dummy. Use the Damage Cap percentage option to see whether you need more attack or more cap.
- Upgrade one main and three AI companions. A balanced party beats one overbuilt main in many solo checks.
Use Conflux as your bridge, not as optional side content
The Conflux is more than a side mode. It is a single-player roguelike-style chain of arenas where auras shape your run and rewards help you upgrade weapons, sigils, characters, and AI companions. If you hit a story wall, treat that as a signal to farm Conflux instead of forcing repeated failed attempts.
Early routing is simple: prioritize fast objective rooms when available, take aura rooms when your build needs direction, and prepare before every boss room. Damage-focused auras such as Damage Cap, attack, and crit damage are usually strong, but defensive auras can be correct if your party is failing survival checks.
Before you push Chaos-tier quests
Chaos quests are the expansion's serious endgame hunts. Before treating them as your main farm, make sure your party has enough survivability, your main character is not wasting attack beyond cap, and your AI companions can stay alive through boss patterns. Chaos rewards can include valuable materials, sigils, Master Trait progression, and other endgame upgrades, but weak preparation turns those quests into long wipe loops.
- Check Damage Cap percentage on the training dummy.
- Equip survival tools if you are learning a boss.
- Build at least one support AI or recruited AI companion.
- Learn burst routing: Link Time first, then SBA chains to refill and extend burst windows.
- Do not spend every rare material until you know which character you want to main.
FAQ
Do I need the base game?
Yes. Endless Ragnarok is expansion content built on Granblue Fantasy: Relink.
Can a returning player jump straight in?
If your save has the required story progression and a strong build, yes. Still, spend time in Conflux before deeper endgame checks.
What if I feel underpowered?
Farm Conflux, claim menu/journal rewards, improve AI companions, and verify your Damage Cap setup before pushing farther.
