Mascot Dress sphere

[jerseyteufel]

I have the strategy guide and it says that in order for me to get the mascot dress sphere I need to have an episode complete in every area in chapter 5 except Bevelle but I have a question. How do I enter the den of woe if I need all the crimson spheres and crimson spheres 6 and 8 are in Bevelle's via infinito?

[Celluloid]

Because the Via Infinito has 100 floors, and you receive the two Crimson spheres before level 100. Which means you don't have to complete Via Infinito to open the Den of Woe.

you get Crimson sphere 6 and 8 on Via Infinito levels 0 and 20. Sphere 6 you'll get just by entering but you'll need to fight a boss on level 20 in order to get Sphere 8.

as Mr. LittleJeans said, you do not need to complete Via Infinito to open the Den of Woes. once you get the second sphere you can continue to finish Via Infinito or leave for the Den of Woes and complete Via Infinito later.
