- On the section detailing the player's second visit to Aether Paradise (page 181), the maps of the B1F: Docks and 1F: Entrance use the same images as the player's first visit, despite the differing layout during the raid.
- On the section detailing the Altar of the Sunne/Altar of the Moone (page 204), the maps of the altars are flipped horizontally from the correct orientation.
