Progress through Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 Lab Key Cards in sequence. The first card opens the west route; laboratory controls restore teleportation, and the later cards unlock the remaining security sections.
Start from the central junction
Obtain the Level 1 card near the entrance save point, then return to the central hall. Check the clearance shown on each door: the west route accepts Level 1, while the east route requires the next card.
Do not repeatedly test the Level 2 door with the Level 1 card. The next task is to explore the currently accessible wing and operate its controls.
Restore access in the correct order
- Enter the west wing with the Level 1 card.
- Follow the laboratory route and activate its control switches. The progression reference identifies three switches before the Level 2 card route.
- Use the restored central teleporter to continue through the connected rooms.
- Collect the Level 2 card, return to the central junction and open the newly permitted east route.
- Continue through the higher-clearance section to obtain Level 3 access.
- Reach and collect the White Jade Stone, then complete the scene before leaving.
A card and a powered teleporter are separate conditions. If the next destination is inaccessible, check both the displayed security level and whether the relevant controls have been activated.
Where do you take the White Jade Stone?
Return to the elder in Gaberada. The stone enables Fina’s Holy training. Finish the training sequence, regroup with Fina and return to the Bog of No Return to clear the miasma.
The White Jade Stone is not an equipment upgrade to install in the airship, and Holy is not a separate shop item required for this objective.
What comes after the bog?
Resume the route toward Gronoa Shrine and Sanctissimus in the chapter-6 walkthrough. Clearing the miasma also belongs to the prerequisites for the optional Odin acquisition route; it does not grant that summon automatically.
