Progression route / where to go next

Fatal Claw Walkthrough Hub

Use this page to choose the right route help without turning the homepage into a walkthrough. If you know the route segment, open the full walkthrough; if you only know the symptom, jump to map, abilities, bosses, achievements, or Next Step Finder.

Quick Answer

Fatal Claw route order currently starts Origin Laboratory, Village power route, Strigine Quarry, Black Canyon, Elord Castle, Higasha Tundra, Enma's Labyrinth, Jayma's Dungeon, Kannir Belt, Water Sanctuary, Aphotic Marsh, then postgame cleanup. Open the Fatal Claw Full Walkthrough for the full route table, or use this hub to choose map, abilities, bosses, achievements, and Next Step Finder when you only know the blocker.

Launch-Week Stuck Points

Problem	What to check first
How to reach Higasha Tundra	Search nearby entrances before rewriting your whole route. The 1.0.8 patch specifically improved Higasha Tundra entrance visibility, which is a strong sign many players missed the doorway or visual clue.
Where is Enma's Labyrinth?	Treat Enma's Labyrinth as an entrance-finding problem first. Re-check the Tundra-adjacent route, map transitions, and any traversal gate you recently unlocked.
Lab password	Do not brute-force random terms. Record the clue location, the exact prompt text, and what the terminal or lock accepts; add the answer only after a 1.0 source verifies it.
Sorron not spawning in Epilogue	If you missed Sorron before the Epilogue, check whether the Archive switch, boss arena state, and door state are still available. This may be route-state dependent or patch-sensitive.

Puzzle Solutions And Epilogue Checks

Need	First check
Puzzle Passwords	Use the walkthrough hub for password intent first; match the terminal, room, and clue text before trying guesses.
Control Room Password	Keep the control room answer tied to a verified clue source, then add the exact solution only after direct 1.0 evidence confirms it.
Stone of Narrative	If the route sends you to Stone of Narrative guidance, check the current objective, Archive state, and map marker before repeating old route notes.
Epilogue Walkthrough	For Epilogue questions, separate ending-state cleanup from normal route progression and confirm which bosses or Archive entries remain open.
Ending Conditions	Track Cain, Sorron, hidden achievement, and Archive dependencies before replaying long sections for a different ending result.

Needs More Evidence

Exact room-to-room directions, screenshot markers, and late-game hidden achievement steps should be added only when a direct 1.0 source backs them. The full route page gives the current scaffold; this hub keeps intent separated so "Fatal Claw Walkthrough" does not compete with every detailed route query.
