Fortune's Weave Cai Route Guide

Cai's Fortune's Weave route is officially tied to catching and caring for rideable animals, farming, and trading harvests, with Cai described as seeking his father's freedom. This page keeps the route useful without inventing Cai chapter names, map layouts, bosses, hidden items, recruitment triggers, or a required play order.

Confirmed Cai route facts

Nintendo identifies Cai as one of the four protagonist paths and describes his route activity as animal care, farming, and harvest trading. The Australian game page also gives Cai's broad motivation: he seeks his father's freedom.

How to prepare around Cai

Before advancing Cai, use Dagsion for the shared systems Nintendo confirms: equipment, boons or blessings, training, certification, and recruitment. Then track Cai-specific activity separately so animal care, farming, and harvest trading do not get mixed with other routes' mechanics.

Pair Cai notes with the route recruitment guide and early-game walkthrough. If a farm, animal, or trade result appears in play, record the exact route state and avoid presenting it as universal until verified.

Unknowns to keep out of Cai pages

The checked official sources do not publish Cai's complete chapter list, named maps, boss names, hidden item positions, animal stats, crop values, trade prices, or exact recruitment triggers. Those details should stay out of the public guide until they are sourced or reproduced in-game.
