Fast answer: Mysidia is hidden in the southern part of the world map — fly south of the Kingdom of Pharm, pass between the mainland's southern tip and the two small islands beside it, then ping the radar to reveal the city.

How the Mysidia radar works

Once you board the airship interior in Chapter 5, Shera, Evan and Lid fit it with a radar that detects the magic concealing Mysidia.

  1. 1
    Board the airship and enter its interior

    Two quick objectives in the imperial capital — the airship is yours from this point on.

  2. 2
    Fly and ping

    Press the right trigger while flying to send out a scan. Lid calls out the result each time.

  3. 3
    Read Lid's hints

    "It's faint, but I'm getting a reading" means the right direction; if she reports losing the signal, turn around and sweep another sector. Close in and she starts naming a cardinal direction — "hotspot to the north", "just a little to the south".

  4. 4
    Ping on the exact spot

    At the right location a cutscene plays and Mysidia's camouflage drops.

The exact spot, if you'd rather skip the search

The random-ping approach works but can take a while. To go straight there:

  1. 1
    Find the Kingdom of Pharm

    The large landmass on the west of the map.

  2. 2
    Fly to its southern edge

    Note the mainland's southern tip and the two small islands sitting off it.

  3. 3
    Pass between them and keep going south

    Mysidia sits right between the mainland tip and those two islands — ping the radar there and the city appears.

Heads up: the radar isn't a one-off gimmick. Later in the game it comes back for treasure hunting — same loop, ping until Lid picks something up, then follow her directions to loot spots on the world map.

FAQ

What happens after I find Mysidia?

You meet Sakura in the Magiapolis and she joins the party — she's one of the strongest magic attackers in the roster. The chapter continues with the Nameless Ruins and the Tower of Mysidia.

Why isn't the radar picking anything up?

You need the Chapter 5 "Find Mysidia" objective active — the radar only reacts to the concealment magic during that quest stage. Make sure you're scanning while airborne on the world map, not inside a zone.

Is Mysidia missable?

No — it's a mandatory main-story objective in Chapter 5. You can't skip it or permanently fail the search.

Anything else hidden by the radar?

Yes — after Mysidia the same radar is reused for world-map treasures, including parts that upgrade the radar itself.
