Rejoice
Missables & Materia
Everything you can lose for good, sorted by the chapter where it closes, and the fifteen scenes that decide Materia or Chris.
Rejoice moves you forward one region at a time, and almost every region closes behind you: the forest collapses, the castle floor gives way, the ship sinks. What you leave behind stays behind. This page lists everything that closes, in the order it closes, plus the hidden scenes that decide the late-game friend.

The five easiest to miss
🎁 Poppin (Ch. 2)
Hidden in the trees at the bottom-left of upper Ishu Town. His gift, Mr. Invincible 1, also unlocks the hidden debug menu. From Ch. 3 the same spot runs a different scene.
🗑️ The junk pile (Ch. 4)
Its prize is chosen by the first sensor column you step on in the 8th forest screen, and you must walk back to search it before the boss. One chance only.
👗 Materia (Ch. 3–10)
Doll needs one flag in each of three groups before Clockwork Castle 10F, or her friend Chris comes instead. Most flags need Doll leading (System → Order).
🔑 The last Ghost Ship door (Ch. 9)
The Key gets stuck in the right-hand seal door. Clear B6 and fight the Shoreweed Lizard (30,000 EXP) behind the other doors first.
🛒 Clockwork Castle 10F (Ch. 13)
The point of no return. The last shops are in Fairy Forest; shop before you set foot on 10F.

Things you don’t need to worry about
- Choice menus. The game asks very few questions, and none of them changes the story. Parson’s two topic menus in Cave Town must simply be heard in full.
- 2-player mode at the Mischief Castle cell. It only changes who lands where in the next scene; Doll rejoins soon either way.
- Will’s Premium Armor and the pig race stay available for a long time; Neve Town can be walked back to from Fairy Forest.
- The Shoreweed Lizard is optional, but it’s the best EXP in the game: fight it before the last Ghost Ship door.
- The ending. There is one ending. Materia or Chris changes a few scenes and the last line.
