Opera? Ernest? Never heard of them. I have Precis, though.

Not sure if its the correct save, should be not in the Red Cave, but at one of the overworld locations in Nehde.

Upload a save after reaching Cross castle for the first time, or after the Lacour tournament. This must be before clearing Hoffman ruins, and you must not have recruited Ashton.

- Do a Private Action in Cross that involves a three-eyed man leaving Cross Castle.
- Continue, and finish the Lacour Arms Tournament. (Skip this if you already finished the tournament)
- Go to Hilton, don't trigger a Private Action. Enter Hilton normally, and enter the bar there. You will encounter Opera.
- Go to Cross, enter the castle, and talk to the King. Ask him about a three-eyed woman. You'll receive permission to enter the Mountain Palace, as well as 10000 Fol.
- Go to the Mountain Palace. To get there, follow the path to Clik until it diverges towards the mountains.
- Once in the Palace, follow the path on the right, and you will eventually find Opera.
- Go to Arlia and trigger a PA, talk to Opera.
- Go into Shingo forest into the clearing you started the game in as Claude/Rena
- Clear Hoffman Ruins with Opera in Party to fight possessed Ernest.

During the Lacour Tournament, before you have anything to do with the Hoffman ruins. Never heard of Ashton, too.

Edit: These are epsxe-quicksaves for the German version of the game, not sure if its compatible.

Ashton's the guy with the neck dragons, pretty sure he's not optional.

[Davy Jones]

If that's true, he's not on disc 1.

[Deathbringer]

I had to look it up since I'm wrong on him being not optional but you had to talk to someone first and then go back to the Salva Mines. Either way he is on the first disc.
