The world of Temtem is huge, with a lot of different regions to explore. Although you'll eventually get access to mounts and other modes of transportation, most of your time will be spent on foot. The journey will take you from town to city to other structures, as you try to become the best tamer and capture as many Temtem as you can find.
After arriving in Arissola where the first Dojo is, a character will task you with finding out where the leader Sophia has gone. To get to her, you'll need to make it safely across the Gifted Bridges.
The Gifted Bridges
Of all the routes that you've encountered up to this point, the Gifted Bridges is one of the more straightforward paths. It's essentially a winding road that has a combination of plains, grasslands, and yes, bridges.
There won't be many new Temtem to encounter along this road, with the Water-type Platypet being the most notable. There's also a chance to encounter Paharac, the evolved form of the Wind-Type Paharo, as well as Teteru, a Neutral-type. This makes the Gifted Bridges a pretty good place for grinding to prepare for the Dojo, and some difficult upcoming fights.
Unfortunately, at this point, your traversing abilities are limited, which means you'll have to take the long way around. There will be a red-brown cliff face that can be climbed once you have the appropriate gear. Until that point, you'll simply need to ignore and go around them.
There are no real fast routes through the Gifted Bridges, and their layout leaves very little room for confusion. As long as you follow the path, you won't get lost. That being said, there isn't much on the path itself, with very few items to be found — so just focus on moving forward and training.
The biggest challenge of the Gifted Bridges is the number of tamers along the road. There aren't many of them that are browsing screens, and very few — if any — ways to avoid them.
With that in mind, you should prepare appropriately. There won't be a Temporium to heal up and restock until near the very end of the path. That means you should bring some Balms to keep your Temtem healthy, and hold on to your Temessence Vial for as long as you can.
The tamers you encounter will use a mix of different Temtem, with the strongest being Barnshe (Mental-type), Ukama (Water-type), and the previously mentioned Paharac. They usually attack in teams, which makes them more dangerous.
Ukama has a powerful attack called Water Spout, which at this time you can only withstand with Platypet and Saipat. Barnshe is able to use Bamboozle to give itself and its allies Evasion, so they're guaranteed to avoid an attack.
Luckily, these three Temtem are all highly vulnerable to Electric attacks. Although the only Electric-type Temtem you can obtain right now is Ganki (on the road to Arissola), it already knows a strong Electric attack that can be boosted by its other abilities. With Ganki and plenty of items, you'll be able to plow through the tamers and wild Temtem as you make your way to the end of the Gifted Bridges.
