Generating a Game

1. Use Generate Template Options from Archipelago Launcher to get the YAML option file.
2. Keep starting_character_option on vanilla. The patched opening currently requires Kevin and Ries as the starting party.
3. Follow the general Archipelago instructions for generating a game.

Connecting to a Server

1. Launch Trails in the Sky 3rd Client from Archipelago Launcher.
2. Ensure the game is not running.
3. Connect the client to the server by enter your room's address and port (e.g. archipelago.gg:38281) into the top text field of the client and click Connect.
4. If this is your first time connecting, the client will ask for your Trails in the Sky 3rd installation folder.
   • If you want to change this settings you can do so inside the host.yaml file.
5. The client will appear to be frozen for a few seconds to install the game mod.
   • This step is skipped if the player has not changed.
   • To force the patching again, delete player.txt file in the LB-ARK folder.
6. When the client says Waiting for connection to Trails in the Sky the 3rd game instance... you can start the game.
7. Start a new game or load from a previous AP save.

Regarding Save File

On a new AP game launch, the game will store a unique save id into the game save data. You can only send or receive data if the unique save id matches with what the client expects.

Changes to the Base Game

1. For a new game, you will start inside the Hermit Garden. To start the game proper:
   • Open the party organizer from the top left and exit out with Cancel option.
   • You will start receiving your initial party members and items.
   • Use the cube warp functionality to warp back to the garden.
   • You can now start the game.
2. You can return the Lusitania by interacting with the Hermit Garden Monument.
3. You start the game with the teleportation-capable Cube.

Current Known Issue

• Your camera might get stuck if you interact with any object immediately after closing the receiving or sending item message. You can fix it by save/load, changing area, or use the Cube to teleport to another point.
