The game has recently been updated with a lot of new content to make playing the game more fun. However, this has also brought about a series of problems. For example, the question of how to join the second story "Elnest" in Star Ocean 2 has confused many players. As a programmer, I've struggled with this problem for a while; now I'm going to share my solution to help others get rid of this problem as well.
The main plot advances to after clearing the Hefman Ruins.
Opela was in the team, and before Rakul took refuge, he took Opela to the depths of the Godly Forest to investigate the spaceship.
After clearing the Huffman Ruins, you can meet Ernest outside the ruins.
At this time, you can choose whether to officially add Opela and Ernest to the team.
If you choose not to join, both of you will leave the team.
