Another Eden Story Progression Breakpoints: What Unlocks at Key Chapters​

Another Eden Artwork 9

Story chapters in Another Eden quietly unlock most of the game’s major systems, so knowing the key breakpoints helps you plan progression and avoid getting stuck. This overview focuses on the main story milestones that open up important features and content.​​

Early story: prologue to chapter 13

The early story unlocks your basic progression tools, Another Dungeons, and core account systems. Many veteran roadmaps recommend pushing the main story through the early teens before doing heavy side content.​​

Story pointWhat unlocks / changesWhy it matters
Prologue–early chaptersTowns, shops, weapon/armour upgrades, and your first full party. Lets you start building a core team and upgrading gear instead of spreading resources thin. 
Around chapter 10–11Time’s Forgotten Stop and Astral Archive features. ​Adds easier access to dungeons and a way to track story/events and rewards. ​
After chapter 12Access to Spacetime Rift; talk to the Nameless Girl to unlock Another Dungeons. Another Dungeons become your repeatable source of EXP, tomes, and materials, so daily keys matter from here. 
Around chapter 13First real difficulty spike noted in several roadmaps. Good moment to pause, level, and start using Another Dungeons regularly. 

Once Another Dungeons are open, use all available keys every day; they are central to long‑term power and many future unlocks.

Midgame: chapters 14–30

Midgame chapters open new regions, more Another Dungeons, and progression systems tied to side episodes. This is where many players start alternating between story, side episodes, and targeted farming.

Story pointWhat unlocks / changesWhy it matters
New midgame regionsHigher‑level maps with stronger mobs and better drops. Farming here speeds levelling and gear progression vs older areas. 
Extra Another DungeonsAdditional Hard/VH routes, including higher‑value loot. More choices for where to spend keys (EXP, git, treatises, etc.). ​​
Tied side episodes (e.g. Two Knights)Required to progress past certain chapters (e.g. past 26) and unlock dungeons like VH Miglance Labyrinth. Some side episodes are mandatory bottlenecks and also give strong free gear/characters. 

At this stage, following a community content roadmap can help you slot side episodes in the right order without stalling core story progress.

Late story: advanced systems and grasta

Later chapters unlock high‑impact systems that define endgame progression, especially grasta. Pushing through to these breakpoints dramatically increases how much you can power up your strongest units.​

Story pointWhat unlocks / changesWhy it matters
Around chapter 25Nopaew Emporium (unique equipment crafting, tomes/scripts purchases). ​Gives controlled access to powerful equipment and upgrade materials beyond random drops. ​
Around chapter 44Requirements to access some large “open‑world” side arcs. Lets you enter newer high‑reward side content and mythos stories. 
Around chapter 48Grasta system unlock. ​One of the most important late‑game systems, enabling huge stat and damage boosts. ​
Chapter 84Unlocks Part 3 and associated bounty/late‑game flows. ​Opens up more endgame content, bounties, and new progression loops. ​

Most experienced players either rush to the grasta unlock around the high 40s or follow a curated roadmap to reach it without feeling overwhelmed by side content.​

Using roadmaps and external tools

Because the game keeps adding mythos, symphonies, and new arcs, community‑maintained roadmaps are invaluable for seeing what unlocks when.

Following these breakpoints keeps your story progression aligned with major unlocks so you do not miss key systems like Another Dungeons, Nopaew Emporium, or grasta when planning your account.​​
