Head to the "Demigod Council" Dawncloud and continue your adventure[]
Mission DescriptionThe Eye of Twilight, a sky barrier named after a Titan, was both the homeland of the Sky people in ancient times and now serves as Aquila's dwelling. With Hyacine's help, we have set foot on this outworld land to find the Titan who binds the sky.
- A few days later, at Dawncloud...
- (Trailblazer): (Today's the day...)
- Mem: Wow, I didn't expect it to be so lively up here...
- Mem: Are these people here to send off the Chrysos Heirs?
- (Trailblazer): There's Phainon. Let's go talk to him.
Head to the "Fortress of Dome" Eye of Twilight and continue your adventure[]
- Phainon: ...I know this is a big ask, Mnemosyne — I hope you understand.
- Mnemosyne the Guard: Please, don't say that, Lord Phainon. It's an honor to for us to be entrusted with this task.
- Phainon: Go, then. Let's hope our concerns don't come true.
- Mnemosyne the Guard: I hope you all return safely, my lord.
- Phainon: Ah, there you are, (Trailblazer).
- Phainon: You didn't oversleep this time, did you?
- A pink puppy woke me up.
- Mem: ...You like calling me that, don't you? Well, I've embraced it now. It doesn't even faze me anymore!
- I never show up late for important things.
- Phainon: Hahaha... always dependable. I just hope you didn't lose any sleep. We've still got a tough fight ahead.
- Well, maybe I'll go back and grab a quick nap.
- Phainon: Since you're here, make yourself comfortable. You can take a nap while we're waiting for everyone else.
- Phainon: Ready, comrade? If all goes according to plan... this could be the last battle where we fight at each other's side.
- Phainon: If the curse separating Amphoreus from the world beyond the sky is truly Aquila's doing, then you'll be able to return home after their fall.
- A day on the ground feels like ten years in the sky...
- Phainon: Really? That's the first time I've heard that...
- Mem: (He/
She) just makes things up. Don't take it too seriously.
- That's assuming we can fix the car.
- Phainon: Ah... sorry, I'm no help there.
- Mem: Don't worry. Dan Heng mentioned that Councillor Lygus can help (Trailblazer) with that.
- *Insincerely* I'll miss you all!
- Phainon: ...You sound a little insincere there, buddy.
- Mem: ...That was totally insincere, partner!
- Aren't I supposed to be reincarnating as a Titan?
- Phainon: That would be a problem... We'll need to get you home before Era Nova.
- Phainon: Let's leave the emotional goodbyes for later. That'll give us some time to figure out what we should be feeling at that time. Besides, when we were playing Seal... Slammers...
- Phainon: ...Ahem, that bumping seal game. Didn't you teach me something back then?
- Phainon: "Crack the champagne at halftime to watch victory slip away!"
- Well, it's 10/12th time now. We can totally open the champagne.
- Phainon: Well, then I have to use something else Dan Heng taught me as come back — "The last mile is the hardest."
- We'll win, dear fellow.
- Phainon: "The last mile is the hardest." — That's from Dan Heng. Same principle, just... more elegantly put.
- Mem: Hey, speaking of Dan Heng... where is he?
- Phainon: He arrived before everyone else and climbed to the cliff top to wait for us. He's probably not keen on being the center of attention...
- Worried Citizen: Lord Phainon, please make sure you all come back safely!
- Virtuous Citizen: Please defeat the indifferent Eye of Twilight, and restore a compassionate sky to Amphoreus.
- Phainon: Thank you all for your blessings! Rest assured. We're fully prepared.
- Phainon: But I'm not the main attraction today. Please don't hesitate to cheer for Miss Hyacine when she arrives.
- Eager Citizen: Miss Hyacine, the chosen daughter of the Sky... the pride of the Twilight Courtyard!
- Phainon: She's not just the pride of Okhema, but all of Amphoreus as well. And furthermore...
- Phainon: While the Flame-Chase Journey is led by the Chrysos Heirs, it's not just those chosen by Aglaea who contributed to it.
- Phainon: Let's extend our gratitude to the two warriors of the outlands — who bravely stepped up and risked their lives for those they've never met!
- Virtuous Citizen: Hero (Trailblazer), your saga will be chronicled in epics and celebrated across the new world!
- Eager Citizen: Warrior from the outlands! Endowed with the might of Oronyx! The vanguard of deliverance!
- Quite the flatterer, aren't you?
- Looks like you've mastered public speaking now.
- Phainon: Ha... After all this time, you should know when I'm just being polite and when I'm genuinely speaking from the heart.
- Phainon: That praise was heartfelt, (Trailblazer). Had I not trusted my instincts and put my faith in you and Dan Heng, it's hard to imagine what might have become of Okh-
- Phainon: ...Ah, the guest of honor has arrived.
- Hyacine: People of Okhema, I've been blessed by the ancestors of the Sky people.
- Hyacine: They have agreed to bestow the thousand-year mission to me and to have me claim the Coreflame of Aquila.
- Hyacine: Today is the year 4932 of the Light Calendar, 1062 years since the hero Seliose initiated the Flame-Chase Journey.
- Hyacine: I, Hyacinthia of the Sky people, am prepared to lead the children of humanity back to the sky.
- Phainon: History doesn't breathe evenly. At times, it suspends its breath for millennia as though time has frozen. At other times, it pants rapidly, as if poised to topple the world and our civilization in an instant.
- Phainon: Its hurried gasps have sparked a tempest, sweeping all of us along. Hyacine, as an observer, you've witnessed the return of four Coreflames...
- Phainon: And now it's your turn to fulfil your duty. Please, guide us into the heart of the storm as the executioner of this mission.
- (Idle chats)
- Kremnoan Child: Miss Hyacine! May Mydeimos protect you!
- Gravitas: I hope the Chrysos Heirs triumph... and bring light to this darkening world.
- Passionate Bard: They'll surely seize the Coreflame of Sky... and bring the Flame-Chase Journey to its perfect conclusion!
- (Approach the marked location)
- Phainon: Thanks for waiting, Dan Heng.
- Phainon: The team tasked with conquering Aquila has finally assembled.
- Dan Heng: We've reshaped the history of the world with our hands over and over.
- Dan Heng: I bet this trailblazing expedition... could even make Akivili jealous.
- We'll go home as soon as this battle finishes!
- Such an exciting adventure! March's gonna be crying with jealousy!
- This trailblazing expedition is about to end perfectly!
- Phainon: So full of energy, comrades. Seems I chose the perfect day.
- Phainon: Hyacine, it's all yours now.
- Hyacine: Legend tells of the Skyfolk once divided into many tribes.
- Hyacine: The Sunfolk worshiped the sun, the Rainfolk were devoted to storms, and the Winterfolk waited for signs in the snow...
- Hyacine: Our ancestors lived under Aquila's light, yet they were blinded to all but one color.
- Hyacine: They forgot that... the light that illuminates the world is made of countless different colors.
- Hyacine: That's why the rainbow is my favorite, for not only does it reflect the many colors, it is also a bridge.
- Hyacine: And I want to use the rainbow bridge to link everyone's hearts... and give hope to every soul on earth.
- Hyacine: Ancestors!
- Hyacine: With the rainbow as your guide, lead me back to the home of the Skyfolk, a land we have not seen for a thousand years!
- (Cutscene begins)
-
- Hyacine: O rainbow bridge...
- Hyacine: ...Please guide us to ascend to the skies once more.
- Hyacine: Friends, let us soar together!
- (Cutscene ends)
Continue onward and explore Eye of Twilight[]
- Phainon: Flying along the Rainbow Bridge is truly an amazing experience.
- Phainon: The Eye of Twilight...
- Phainon: It's the legendary sky fortress of Aquila — I never imagined that one day I'd be able to step foot on it.
- Hyacine: My ancestors once built a magnificent civilization among the heavens. The Eye of Twilight, which we are standing on, is the home of Aquila and the heart of the city-state in the clouds.
- Hyacine: This must be where the hero Seliose stood when she challenged Aquila and began the first step of the Flame-Chase Journey...
- Hyacine: We are here to end the journey she began.
- Do you believe in legends?
- Hyacine: Even legends are corroded by time, but that won't change what we must do.
- It's our turn to challenge the Titan.
- Hyacine: Yes... What we must do will not change, no matter how much of the legends are true.
- Phainon: According to historical records, the civilization that worshiped Aquila once mastered advanced technology, which made their strategically located Sky Castrum the only force that could face Castrum Kremnos head-on in the Chrysos War.
- Phainon: But they were divided within. The frequent wars started by the Chrysos Heirs drained their power, especially after the prophecy descended. In the end, they had to hide among the clouds, far from the conflicts raging below.
- Hyacine: Apparently, the division was between the two most important sky tribes, the Sunfolk and the Rainfolk.
- Hyacine: And Seliose's frustration towards the endless strife among her people made her turn her spear towards the Titan above.
- Where did she go in the end?
- Hyacine: After driving the enraged Titan to the brink of defeat with her two winged companions, they all vanished somewhere in the sky. Her courage was unparalleled.
- Was her ATK really that high?
- Hyacine: After driving the enraged Titan to the brink of defeat with her two winged companions, they all vanished somewhere in the sky. Her achievements were unparalleled, even if later legends exaggerated the details.
- Hyacine: Yet she still could not end Aquila nor bring back the Coreflame of Sky. Some say she sealed the wrath of the god within herself, trapping them deep within the Eye of Twilight to support the heavens of Amphoreus forever.
- Phainon: In other words, she became one with the Titan... I would have considered it a fairytale, but after seeing what happened with Professor Anaxa? Not anymore.
- Phainon: Has that Titan... and that fused hero... been looking down on the world from here for a thousand years?
- (Continue onward)
- Dan Heng: It's so quiet here...
- Hyacine: It's been so long... Maybe the Eye of Twilight has already turned into ruins.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Phainon: Something's not right...
- Phainon: I can kind of feel how big and empty this place is, but all I see is darkness.
- Dan Heng: What's on the other side of this?
- Hyacine: Maybe... it's the celestial mural.
- Hyacine: The Sky city believes that mural to be connected to Amphoreus's sky, and any weather condition depicted on it will become actual weather.
- Hyacine: The mural would reflect Aquila's shifting mood, like clear skies, fog, snow, or thunderstorms... The Sky Priests would gather here during peaceful times and pray to the god for warm breezes and good harvests.
- Hyacine: To put it in words that Grayie and Dannie would understand... just think of it as a massive screen.
- What's the appropriate resolution?
- Got it. Aquila's theme park.
- Hyacine: In any case, exploring in the dark is never a good option. If we could light up the mural... it might just provide us with the light needed to move forward.
- Hyacine: That really conspicuous device might be part of the ritual? Let's go take a look. It's dark, so watch your feet.
Try to illuminate the celestial mural[]
- Hyacine: ...
- Dan Heng: How about it? Got any leads?
- Hyacine: I have no idea how to turn it on.
- Hyacine: That's it! I almost forgot — Grayie, Memmie, can I borrow your powers?
- Leave it to the demigod of time.
- Counting on you, Mem.
- Mem: Got it! We just need to find the scattered memory nearby, right? That's simple. Give me a little time...
- Mem: Feel the flow of time...
- Mem: Over there...
- Mem: And over there!
- Mem: Done! There haven't been many people for a while, so the traces of time are super obvious.
- Hyacine: I knew you could do it, Memmie! You are a huge help.
Read through past memories and search for clues (0/2)[]
- (Investigate the celestial globe, optional)
- Hyacine: We still don't know how to turn on this device. Let's hear what the ancestors have to say first.
- (Investigate the past sunfolk)
- Past Sunfolk: Heh... Foolish Rainfolk...
- Past Sunfolk: The great Aquila has already left a mark of their manifestation among the golden clouds...
- Past Sunfolk: The god's choice is clear: Only we, the Sunborn, are the true heirs of the sky... This war is destined to end in the victory of the Sunfolk...
- Past Sunfolk: May the Eye of Twilight never close. May eternal daylight embrace the land...
- Phainon: "Left a mark among the golden clouds..."
- Phainon: Is this referring to the celestial mural? But we can't see anything right now...
- (Investigate the past rainfolk)
- Past Rainfolk: Arrogant Sunfolk, the Titan will condemn your brazen disrespect...
- Past Rainfolk: But Aquila, you that shaped the sky... Why do you avoid the pursuit of dark clouds? Are not clear skies and stormy rains equally your creations?
- Past Rainfolk: The Sunborn see your behavior as an act of favoritism towards them, and weaponize this reason to oppress my people...
- Past Rainfolk: The Rainfolk will not suffer in silence... O god, if you remain silent, we shall have to forge our own weapons and resist the malice concealed under your brilliance...
- Past Rainfolk: May the Eye of Twilight never open, and may torrid rains descend forever...
- Hyacine: "Avoid the pursuit of dark clouds?"
- Hyacine: Aquila doesn't like rainstorms...? It seems a little hard to believe, but we should write this clue down first.
Sort through the clues you've collected[]
- Phainon: It is as the rumors said — the Sky Castrum was far from united.
- Hyacine: My guess was right. This venue is indeed where celestial rituals were performed. Memmie, can you retrieve even more memories?
- Mem: No problem at all. Here goes...
- Mem: ...There we are!
- Past Rainfolk: "Wind, snow, rain, shine..."
- Past Rainfolk: "In the name of the Sky's Hundred Eyes, I bring celestial phenomena upon the world."
- Past Rainfolk: "The turn of dawn and dusk, commanding the celestial globe..."
- Past Rainfolk: "Awaken, Celestial Mural..."
- Past Sunfolk: Stop, foolish Cloudborn!
- Past Sunfolk: How dare you tamper with the celestial globe and distort the weather? This is blasphemy!
- Past Rainfolk: ...The Titan bequeathed the celestial globe to our ancestors, so that we could divide the light and dark equally between day and night, so that all things could grow beneath the celestial phenomenon they preferred.
- Past Rainfolk: But the Sunborn have asserted control over the celestial mural, and now the days are endless, subjecting the land to drought and burning... And you have the gall to accuse the Rainfolk, who you've oppressed!?
- Past Sunfolk: The land? It is our eternal nemesis!
- Past Sunfolk: How can storm clouds and rain, unloved by Aquila, lead the Skyfolk to victory in the Chrysos War?
- Past Sunfolk: Your character is as weak as your faith... Go seek out a corner untouched by the sun, and weep solitary tears in the shadows. That's all you lot know how to do anyway — cry in silence!
- Past Rainfolk: Hmph... Then let us show you what we are really made of...
- Past Sunfolk: You... What are you...
- Past Sunfolk: What are you trying to do?
- Past Rainfolk: Fanatics whose minds have been muddled by the heat...
- Past Rainfolk: By Aquila above, meet your demise!
- Past Sunfolk: ...Uwoahhhhhhh!!!
- Mem: Ugh... Ah... What a terrifying memory...
- Phainon: The brutal internal strife is sad to see... It appears the Sky cities didn't fall to external threats after all.
- Hyacine: The proud Sunfolk saw themselves as divinely chosen, exacting long-standing oppression on other tribes... And the Rainfolk suffering beneath them began resenting the divine, and plotted their retaliation.
- A common story everywhere...
- Dan Heng: The divine set the stage, and the mortals perform the play. This isn't the first time we've witnessed such a scene while trailblazing.
- People are truly ignorant.
- Dan Heng: Not surprising when living in a world with literal gods that you can see.
- This blame lies squarely on the Titan's shoulders.
- Dan Heng: Faith is a double-edged sword — capable of calming hearts and corrupting them.
- Phainon: No matter the era, conflict among humans is destined to persist. Having witnessed the actions of Caenis and the "Cleaners"... it isn't so hard to understand this piece of history.
- I'm curious which side won.
- Phainon: ...There's nothing but empty silence here. I fear there were no winners.
- The resistance did nothing wrong.
- Phainon: I can't judge who was right or wrong, but when the box of misfortune is opened, no one escapes unscathed.
- Hyacine: The hero Seliose... How did she view the ancient feud between the Sunfolk and Rainfolk? The legends focus on her god-slaying expedition, but are hazy on the fall of the Sky denizens.
- Hyacine: Perhaps I can piece together the true face of history here.
- Phainon: One step at a time. Do you remember the verse that Rainfolk sang, Hyacine? Perhaps that's the key to unlocking the celestial mural.
- Hyacine: Yes, I already memorized it. Now... Shall we try to wake it up?
Use the celestial globe to activate the celestial mural[]
- Hyacine: "Wind, snow, rain, shine..."
- Hyacine: "In the name of the Sky's Hundred Eyes, I bring celestial phenomena upon the world."
- Hyacine: "The turn of dawn and dusk, commanding the celestial globe..."
- Hyacine: "Awaken, Celestial Mural!"
- Phainon: Golden clouds, blazing radiance...
- Phainon: ...What a breathtaking scene.
- Dan Heng: Look, the "mark of their manifestation" mentioned by the memory fragment...
- Phainon: How chilling... I wonder if Aquila is also watching us.
- Phainon: I remember the Rainfolk mentioned the Titan dislikes overcast days. We might be able to use this to our advantage and change how the mark is behaving by changing the weather on the mural?
- Dan Heng: Wouldn't this affect Okhema?
- Hyacine: Don't worry. The mural probably lost its original function ages ago. Okhema's light comes from the Dawn Device shouldered by Kephale anyway.
- Hyacine: ...That being said, there's no power in this device anymore. We have to find another celestial globe if we want to change the weather on the mural.
- Hyacine: Ah, there — that circular device. I'm quite familiar with it.
- Hyacine: That's a West Wind Compass of the Twilight Courtyard. We can use it to create a miniature rainbow bridge to walk on. Who knows, it might even lead us to other areas of the Eye of Twilight.
- Hyacine: Technology passed down from the golden age is finally proving useful. Let's go. Leave the adjustments and calibrations to me.
Use the West Wind Compass to set up a path[]
- Dan Heng: That huge golden pool down there...
- Hyacine: A boiling pool of gold, said to be the energy source that powers the Eye of Twilight's divinity. You should watch your step as you walk.
- Hyacine: Hmm... the mechanical structure is a bit different from the one used in the Twilight Courtyard. How should I put this... It's a little more complicated.
- Mechanical simplification is the future.
- No fun if there's no challenge.
- Phainon: Can you handle it, Hyacine?
- Hyacine: This might take a while... but I think I can manage!
- (While solving the West Wind Compass)
- Hyacine: Hmm... I think this should be right?
- Hyacine: Deep breaths, and find the way out...
- (After solving the West Wind Compass)
- Hyacine: Look, the rainbow bridge has appeared!
- Phainon: Well done. Now we can cross...
- Phainon: Hey, careful!
- Dan Heng: That's...?
- Is that an enemy?
- Is that a boss?
- Is that a memory?
- Hyacine: Is that a winged pegasus?
- Phainon: It looks like a mythical beast. But this one... doesn't seem hostile towards us.
- Phainon: Ahhh! Hyacine, could it be the legendary...
- Hyacine: I'm... not entirely sure. We might be able to tell if we get closer.
- Phainon: We can't assume it's friendly. Keep your guard up and follow it.
Follow the mythical beast and continue forward[]
- Step DescriptionDuring our exploration, we caught glimpses of the Skyfolk's past, filled with a solemn atmosphere that could hardly be described as peaceful. Then, a mythical beast appeared before us, one deeply connected to the hero Seliose. We decided to follow its fluttering wings and continue forward together.
- Hyacine: Legend has it that the hero Seliose was always flanked by two winged companions.
- Hyacine: Solabis and Lunabis. They were her steeds and comrades.
- Hyacine: If they are still alive, they might help us confront Aquila.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Hyacine: It... disappeared?
- Phainon: An illusion? Or the memory dissipated?
- Mem: How strange. That pegasus was different from the other memories. It was surrounded in an air of sorrow...
- Mem: ...It's so heavy that it's hard to breathe.
- Hyacine: Was that... Lunabis's phantom? Did it appear here because it has unfinished business?
- Phainon: If that's really the case, there must be a super strong obsession keeping it in one piece. Could it be some remaining bits of Seliose's will?
- Hyacine: We can't be sure of that yet. Let's take the elevator up to the Eye of Twilight's core first.
Take the elevator and continue forward[]
- Hyacine: Lady Lunabis! Is that you? Can you hear me?
- Hyacine: I am the descendant of the hero Seliose... We have come to complete her mission!
- Hyacine: That's... another one?
Check on Solabis' condition[]
- (Approach the marked location)
- Mem: C-Careful! It's not a memory phantom... It looks like it's alive!
- Mem: But... it's so twisted, and very shadowy... like those black tide creatures...!
- Phainon: Hyacine, watch out!
- Hyacine: So, you're Lady Lunabis, aren't you?
- Lunabis: *shrieking*
- Hyacine: Then... that corrupted being before us must be Lord Solabis.
- Hyacine: Did you lead us here so we can free your companion?
- Lunabis: *shrieking*
- Hyacine: ...I understand now.
- Solabis: *roaring*
- Hyacine: You must have been tormented by pain for so long. But you didn't give up, and you've held on to what little is left of your will with such tenacity.
- Hyacine: Don't be afraid. You're not alone anymore. I am Hyacinthia, the healer who inherited the hero's bloodline...
- Hyacine: ...Seliose the Daythunder Knight was once your comrade, wasn't she?
- Solabis: *roaring*
- Hyacine: Lord Solabis, your body has been completely corroded by the black tide. But I can still... heal your tenacious soul. Just like Lady Lunabis — even if you've lost your mortal body, your spirit remains pure.
- Hyacine: Please keep holding on to what's left of your will. And I will... reawaken you as a heroic soul.
- Solabis: *roaring*
- I wonder how much it understood.
- Hyacine: It must have understood me... It's a creature of wisdom and tenacity, despite being mired in the agony of the black tide.
- Words are done. Time for the bat to do the talking.
- Hyacine: This battle can't be avoided, but we do not do this for destruction... We do this for salvation.
- Do we need to show mercy?
- Hyacine: No need, Grayie. Solabis isn't an opponent that can be defeated easily. Besides... it must be looking forward to an all-out battle.
- Phainon: Solabis, the Sunlit Wings that once accompanied the hero... If this battle can remind you of your great deeds from back then, it would be my honor...
- Phainon: ...Come on, heroes!
- (Enter battle against Black Tide's Corroded Axe ×1, Dark Sun Gryphon ×1, Black Tide's Decrepit Bow ×1)
- (During Battle)
- Hyacine: Lord Solabis, please break free from the control of the black tide...
- Hyacine: ...And return to your senses!
(After Battle)
- Phainon: It's over...
- Lunabis: Solabis...
- Hold your horses, you're actually speaking!
- Mem: No need to be surprised. After all, this is a world where even a pink puppy can speak...
- Mem: Ugh, I can't believe I'm calling myself that now too!
- Hello, Sister Pegasus.
- Mem: So she speaks!
- Lunabis: Solabis... You're finally awake.
- Solabis: *roaring*
- Solabis: My consciousness has been lost for far too long. Finally, I have been released from the black tide's cage.
- Solabis: Little girl... Are you Seliose's descendant?
- Hyacine: It is me, Lord Solabis. My name is Hyacinthia, and my companions call me Hyacine.
- Solabis: Hyacinthia — you don't have the scent of her on you.
- Hyacine: It's been a thousand years. Seliose's blood may have thinned in my veins, but the resolve of the Sky people has never been eroded by time. I've journeyed here to fulfill her dying wish.
- Solabis: How much do you know about her dying wish?
- Hyacine: I know that... in order to support the shattered sky, she merged herself with the divine body of the Titan.
- Hyacine: And I also know that she left behind a message, calling on future generations to one day ascend to the heavens again and reclaim the Coreflame of Aquila.
- Solabis: ...Has the legend changed so much since your people fell to the earth?
- Solabis: Girl, you said you're a doctor?
- Solabis: You only know how to heal and tend to wounds... With such a weak lot in life, how do you plan to challenge the embodiment of the heavens?
- Phainon: With this long sword, heroic soul.
- And my bat!
- And his spear!
- And their... pink love!
- Phainon: As you can see, we are all Hyacinthia's companions and comrades.
- Phainon: You've already witnessed our combined strength.
- Solabis: ...It's not bad, but still lacking compared to her.
- Lunabis: Solabis, let go of your ego and accept their kindness.
- Lunabis: You've been trapped in time by the black tide, while great change has spread over the world. If I'm not mistaken, the God of War Nikador also fell to the hands of these warriors.
- Phainon: We've laid all the other Titans to rest, one by one. Now, the final target for the Flame-Chase is the master of this sky fortress.
- Phainon: Please guide us to an audience with Aquila, heroic souls. Seliose initiated the era of slaying gods and attaining their flames. Even if she could not witness the end of this era, you will all at least bear witness on her behalf.
- Solabis: Confidence and fierceness — Yes, I do indeed see a shadow of her in you.
- Hyacine: Aquila's mark... flew away?
- Did they sense something?
- Is that a reaction... from the Titan?
- Solabis: Maybe they detected our awakening.
- Lunabis: Perhaps our presence stirred memories of the fierce battle from a thousand years ago.
- Phainon: We learned from past memories that the Sky Titan fears dark clouds. Would you know more about this topic?
- Lunabis: What the memosprite said is true, but you all still need a guide.
- Solabis: Follow me, Hyacinthia and fellow warriors. Let the hunt for the gods start again.
Continue onward and explore Eye of Twilight[]
- Step DescriptionResponding to Hyacine's call, Solabis regained its sanity. Then, Seliose's two companion winged beasts offered to guide us to Aquila's location.
- Hyacine: Is Lady Lunabis not going with us?
- Lunabis: I will be waiting for you all at the next destination, Hyacine.
Try to control the wind field to reach the celestial globe's location[]
- (Approach the marked location)
- Solabis: A thousand years have passed, and yet this place feels the same — Just that there is no more human clamor.
- Solabis: This is the hall of the Sunfolk, where the Sunborn once held grand ceremonies to give thanks for Aquila's gifts.
- Hyacine: So... Did the Sky Titan really take the side of the Sunfolk?
- Solabis: Everyone thought so until Seliose's spear pierced through Aquila's wrath.
- Solabis: Only then did we understand that Aquila wasn't hiding from the clouds and rain, but from the horror that lurked within the unlit shadows.
- The black tide...
- That thing has been spreading ever since.
- Phainon: The black tide's threat has forced the Chrysos Heirs to complete our Flame-Chase Journey, heading toward the prophecy's Miracle of Genesis.
- Solabis: "Chrysos Heirs"... In our time, that title used to stir up waves of outrage. But you all seem to be revered as heroes.
- Phainon: It's all thanks to those who came before us — Tribios and Aglaea. You must've heard of these two names.
- Solabis: Mmm... So it was those two who made it to the end.
- Phainon: ...What does that mean?
- Solabis: Let's not elaborate on unrelated topics. You now know how to activate the celestial globe. So go, and force out the Titan in the mural.
- Hyacine: The road got... sucked away by the wind fan?
- Hyacine: Did Aquila do that?
- Mem: You have nothing to fear! We can use the power of Time to rewind it if we have to.
- (Try to rewind the platform before activating the device, optional)
- Mem: It didn't work... The prayer's power didn't last long enough, and we couldn't get the fans to keep turning in the other direction.
- Mem: Hmm, maybe that device can help? Go check it out if you need to.
- (Activate the "Device")
- Mem: Ah! It looks like... this device can amplify the power of Oronyx's Prayer!
- Mem: Why don't you try to change the wind's direction with this thing, partner?
- Mem: Now the prayer should rewind for even longer —
- Mem: Let's try to control the wind's direction with this thing, partner!
- Phainon: The celestial globe is right ahead. Let's go and force Aquila to come out.
- (Approach the celestial globe)
- Hyacine: ..."The turn of dawn and dusk, commanding the celestial globe..."
- Hyacine: "Change, Celestial Mural!"
- Hyacine: The celestial shift... didn't work?
- Dan Heng: Perhaps the device has been damaged during these long merciless years.
- Dan Heng: Do you see those two giant "circuits" on either side of the hall? Maybe we should try fixing them.
Try to repair the "circuits"[]
- Phainon: These "circuits" all seem to be corroded by the black tide...
- Phainon: Here's hoping those two Prophecy Tablets can help us out.
- (Solved the Prophecy Tablet puzzle)
- Phainon: Smooth sailing so far. We've got one more "circuit" to fix...
- Phainon: Let's keep going and find the tablet on the other side.
Try to repair the "circuits" on the other side[]
- (Near Prophecy Tablet puzzle)
- Dan Heng: The tablet is right ahead.
- Phainon: We've finally made it... Hopefully this is enough to fix the celestial globe.
Use the celestial globe to alter the weather and force the Titan to reveal themself[]
- (Interact with Celestial Globe)
- Hyacine: ..."The turn of dawn and dusk, commanding the celestial globe..."
- Hyacine: "Change, Celestial Mural!"
- Dan Heng: The mark... has disappeared again?
- Phainon: Looks like they're still avoiding us. I wonder if it's cowardice... or if they have something up their sleeve.
- Solabis: I fear the Aquila of present has long lost their sanity...
- Solabis: But instinct still drives them to flee from the shadows, to evade the black tide's encroachment.
- Is Aquila really that cautious?
- Solabis: Do not mistake their behavior for weakness, warrior.
- Solabis: I have faced down the tyrant of the sky. It is no hyperbole that their raging fire is capable of melting the firmament. Amphoreus's heavens exist because of their authority.
- Does that hero's consciousness still remain?
- Solabis: I have no knowledge of Seliose's situation.
- Solabis: But I am certain that the will behind that mark is not hers... She would not abscond like a disgraceful deserter, willingly exiled by the pursuit of dark clouds.
- Solabis: It is time to leave this place. Lunabis awaits you at the next stop.
- Hyacine: A moment please, Lord Solabis. I... have one more thing I wish to do.
- Solabis: ...What is it, girl?
- Hyacine: To honor the pact with Seliose, her descendants spent a millennium looking up at the sky. I believe my countless ancestors who lived for that purpose deserve to know the truth behind her legend.
- Hyacine: If you don't mind us knocking on the gates of the past... Maybe I can peek into this place's history...
- Solabis: ...
- Solabis: You are the ones who hold Oronyx's miracle. I have no authority to prevent you from delving into the past.
- Hyacine: Memmie, Grayie, could I please ask you for this favor? I want to show the truth to my ancestors waiting on the other side.
- Leave it to us. This is your right.
- Hyacine: If there are falsehoods in the legends... then there must be a reason for its embellishment.
- If the legend is a lie...
- Hyacine: Then there must be a reason behind its falsehood... right?
- Hyacine: The scene here and the previous memories gave me a bad feeling... What else did the Skyfolk encounter after Seliose challenged the god?
- Hyacine: I must figure out the truth behind the legend, even if it's for my ancestors' sake.
- Mem: Hyacine... You're such a good child. Don't worry. I'm here!
- Mem: The memories surging here are even more intense than at the entrance... I'll gather them up now, and mold them, and mold them...
- Mem: ...All done!
- Hyacine: Thank you, Memmie. Everyone, please... witness history with me.
Witness the truth about Seliose[]
- (If the player attempts to leave)
- Hyacine: Grayie, before we go...
- Hyacine: Can you witness history with me?
- Resentful Sunfolk: ...Daughter of Dusk, have you finally gone mad?
- Mourning Sunfolk: I knew it... The child with the blood of two feuding clans will one day destroy the Sky Castrum.
- Despairing Sunfolk: Will you really point the tip of your spear at our god? Stay your hand! Your recklessness will only bring divine retribution...
- (Trailblazer): (The Sunfolks are facing off against Seliose... Listen to this part of history?)
- Listen to the conversation between Seliose and the Sunfolk.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: "Divine retribution"?
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: Those innocent children of the earth were sentenced to total annihilation by the god above, while they had nothing more than mere curiosity for things that lie beyond the sky...
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: Look at yourselves. You call yourselves the Sunborn, and yet you're unable to bear the blinding sunlight. You even consider sunburns and blisters as a gift from the gods.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: You declare yourselves the chosen ones, champions favored by Aquila, yet you dare not even declare war upon the true threat of this world. Instead, you raise your swords and rattle them at your weaker brethren.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: You are all beyond saving... My father was also a disciple of the Sun, but he taught me resilience and justice and guided me toward the light...
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: ...He taught me wherever there is light, there is hope. Wretched people, I see no hope left in any of you... Even a shadow has more dignity than you lot!
- Resentful Sunfolk: Even so, Daughter of Dusk! Even so, you should not shatter our faith...
- Mourning Sunfolk: ...Not just our faith! Aquila forged the sky — nay, they are the sky itself! If they fall, what will this world turn into!?
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: A prophecy echoes from the horizon's edge. It heralds the advent of a new age, one not ruled by the Titans, but created by mortal heroes.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: I choose to believe in that prophecy! I must believe in any sign that promises to break the chains imposed on us by the old era... Any sign that will lead us to a new chapter of the world!
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: If you wish to stop me from slaying the god, you'd better muster your courage and draw your bows. Let's see if I will be pierced by a hail of arrows first... or if you will be burned to ash by Solabis!
- Despairing Sunfolk: How can we even fight you? You're the powerful Daythunder Knight, a warrior goddess capable of trampling all lands...
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: I am not a god, but the only mortal in this cage who is brave enough to defy the warden.
- The Sunfolks in the memory fall silent. Their expressions are ashen despite being under the bright sunlight.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: See... You are all truly weak beyond measure.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: The hunting ground beckons. Come, Solabis.
- Hyacine: The hero Seliose, disillusioned by the Sunfolk's deeds, decided to sever the source of it all... The god they so blindly placed their faith in.
- Solabis: She was brimming with compassion at that time. Her words were bursting with anger, but her heart had nothing but mercy for the children of humanity.
- Hyacine: "At that time"...?
- Solabis: ...We should get going, Hyacinthia. Lunabis is waiting for you all.
- Stop listening and move on.
- Solabis: ...We should get going, Hyacinthia. Lunabis is waiting for you all.
Continue forward and track down Aquila[]
- Step DescriptionThe legends of the Sky people, the historical gaps that concern Hyacine — "the past." We pondered the unknown tales shared by the winged beasts, relentlessly tracking Aquila down, trying to force them out using the celestial mural.
- Solabis: Aquila has fled to the other end of the fortress... Let's chase after them.
- Solabis: Lunabis will lead the way.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Hyacine: Lady Lunabis, we're here!
- Lunabis: Aquila... Even though they have been corrupted by the black tide...
- Lunabis: They still maintain a connection with their Kin in this fortress.
- Dan Heng: They're behind us as well... Maintain formation, and don't get surrounded!
- Phainon: You think to hinder us, imprisoned Titan?
- Phainon: Then, we will make you understand... that resistance is futile!
- (Enter battle against Black Tide Council ×1, Black Tide's Decrepit Bow ×2, Black Tide's Corroded Axe ×1)
- Dan Heng: The mark of manifestation — it fled to the other side of the mural.
- Phainon: Don't stop. Follow it to the Titan. Even if plunged into madness, Aquila is still the Sky Titan... We mustn't let our guard down.
- Lunabis: Heroes, over here!
- Lunabis: Let's keep going and aim for the next West Wind Compass.
Head to the West Wind Compass[]
- (Solve the West Wind Compass)
- Hyacine: Look, the rainbow bridge is leading us to our next destination.
- Hyacine: Let's hurry on. Follow Lady Lunabis.
Continue forward and keep up with Lunabis[]
- Lunabis: Miss Hyacine... How were you so certain that you could free Solabis from suffering?
- Hyacine: My apologies, Lady Lunabis. I was not all that certain.
- Hyacine: But if even the healer loses hope, then how will the patients repossess their hope for life?
- Lunabis: ...What a kind answer.
- Dan Heng: The Titankin here appear to have all been corrupted by the black tide.
- Phainon: It's said the black tide is a calamity from beyond the sky. If that's true... the sky's defenses would naturally be the first to be breached.
- Dan Heng: These murals... seem to depict more than just the Sky Titan.
- Dan Heng: Shall we stop for a look?
- (Investigate the first mural, optional)
- Dan Heng: Which Titan is this?
- Dan Heng: It doesn't seem to match any of the Amphorean myths I've read.
- Phainon: Maybe the ancient sky civilization had a completely different interpretation of the Titans from ours.
- Phainon: But I agree with you... This figure... looks way too alien.
- (Investigate the second mural, optional)
- Phainon: No question about it. This mural depicts the Eye of Twilight.
- What a big eye.
- Hyacine: This is Aquila's most common form in the myths.
- Do they really look like that?
- Hyacine: Perhaps this could be called... concept art?
- Hyacine: Aquila's most common form in the myths looks exactly like a giant eye in the sky.
- Doesn't look very foreboding.
- Hyacine: Aquila once engaged in a long, grueling struggle with Nikador in their prime... Best not to underestimate them.
- Phainon: Let's go. If nothing goes wrong, we'll be able to see their true form very quickly.
- (Investigate the third mural, optional)
- Phainon: Phagousa's Chalice of Plenty... This mural depicts its breaking.
- Phainon: Though the conflict between sky and ocean wasn't particularly severe... it is obvious that Aquila's people weren't exactly cordial to the latter.
- (Investigate the fourth mural, optional)
- Phainon: Georios, Aquila's nemesis.
- Phainon: Unlike the Three Titans of Creation that co-exist in mutual benefit... the sky and the earth never ceased attacking each other.
- Hyacine: But when the Twilight Courtyard left the sky civilization and came down to the mortal realm to live, they discovered that the earth also possessed a gentle, benevolent side.
- Hyacine: Whether between people, cities, and gods... I suppose that all conflicts stem from misunderstandings.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Lunabis: Now... I shall lead you into the Rainfolk's hall.
- Listen to Seliose's childhood story.
- Hyacine: Legend has it Seliose's father was a Sunfolk warrior who spent his years fighting and rarely returned to the Eye of Twilight. Her childhood was mostly spent beside her mother, a Rainfolk priest.
- Lunabis: Correct. That was true. It was also during her formative years that the conflict between the two tribes began intensifying. The Rainfolk feared the other half of Seliose's bloodline, and never truly saw her as one of their own.
- What a terrible childhood.
- Growing up in such an environment, she...
- Lunabis: Yet she bore no hatred for her people, and still grew into a passionate young lady.
- Lunabis: Until... people discovered golden blood ran through her veins. That was the final straw that turned disdain into terror.
- Hyacine: What!? But the epics said Seliose left to live in solitude so she could train her spirit and hone her martial skills.
- Hyacine: I never would have imagined that she... was cast out of her tribe for her lineage and her golden blood.
- Lunabis: Even so, she did not despair. She met Solabis and me while she was living alone. We hunted and spent our days together, and forged an alliance.
- Lunabis: I think that oath, stronger than fate itself, kept Solabis and me here to watch over this abandoned fortress.
- Phainon: Despite experiencing betrayal and exile at the hands of her own people, she was still willing to set out on the path to slay the gods for them.
- Phainon: Was Seliose's love for humanity truly so... boundless and unconditional?
- Little Ica: ...Doot!
- Hyacine: Ah, Little Ica — why did you run out on your own?
- Lunabis: This little one...
- Little Ica: Doot... Doot, doot!
- Hyacine: You're saying... You smell a familiar scent on Lady Lunabis?
- Mem: They look completely different, but... Little Ica should also be a winged beast, right?
- Mem: Could it be...
- Little Ica: Doot! Doot-Doot!
- Lunabis: ...
- Lunabis: Truly a miracle of fate. Perhaps, we did leave something behind for this world... Seliose.
- Hyacine: Lady... Lunabis?
- Hyacine: Is Little Ica your...
- Lunabis: ...Please press on, flame-chasing heroes. I can sense it — the radiance of Aquila shines ever brighter.
- Let's hurry.
Continue forward and track down Aquila[]
- Phainon: Where did the Skyfolk go after Seliose challenged the god?
- Lunabis: ...
- Lunabis: Just like the countless tribes throughout history, they were drowned in the dark clouds of time.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Phainon: Aquila — they are indeed here.
- Hyacine: The celestial globe is right ahead... but there are black tide creatures guarding it.
- Phainon: Looks like we can't skip this fight. Let's go get them.
- Phainon: It's another one of those devices that can enhance prayers. Can I leave that to you, (Trailblazer)?
Use the shrine to enhance prayers[]
Head to the celestial globe's location[]
- (Approach the marked location)
- Dan Heng: A Titankin that was corroded by the black tide... It seems it's stronger than before.
- Hyacine: Before it was consumed by madness, it must have also faithfully served the Titan, don't you think?
- Corrupted Titankin: ...
- Hyacine: No healer can heal all, especially faced with souls that are trapped deeply in the clutches of pain...
- Hyacine: Granting it a dignified end may be the most compassionate act of all.
- (Enter battle against Black Tide's Decrepit Bow ×1, Black Tide's Corroded Daemon ×1, Black Tide Council ×1)
Defeat the Black Tide Creatures[]
- (After defeating the Corrupted Titankin)
- Phainon: Rest now, Titankin.
- Hyacine: This celestial globe looks complete...
- Hyacine: But it still won't start... Is there something wrong internally?
- Dan Heng: Maybe it's not damaged, but is missing an energy source.
- Dan Heng: Look there, those massive objects that look like hard drives...
- Hyacine: Hard... drives?
- Dan Heng: Ahem... Sorry, let me rephrase. Do you see the two structures that are glowing blue on both sides? Some of them are protruding out, not fully inserted into the slots.
- Dan Heng: My intuition tells me that they have something to do with the energy source of the celestial globe.
- Phainon: Your intuition has always been good. Let's look around and see if there are any mechanisms...
- Phainon: ...Heh, that didn't take much effort. The Hand of Zagreus always appears when it's most needed.
- Hyacine: Lady Lunabis, if it's not too much trouble, please wait for a little longer...?
- Lunabis: It's you all who have to do the work. I've wandered around here for a thousand years, so this brief moment hardly qualifies as "waiting."
- Lunabis: Furthermore...
- Little Ica: Doot... Doot?
- Lunabis: ...I would like to have a moment alone with this little one.
Use the Punch ability of the Hand of Zagreus to repair the "hard drive" (0/3)[]
- (Attempt to operate the celestial globe, optional)
- Dan Heng: The celestial globe still isn't working... Let's find a way to supply it with energy first.
- (Talk to Lunabis, optional)
- Little Ica: Doot... doot-doot, doot...
- Lunabis: Your parents, and their parents... Have they always been by the Skyfolk's side?
- Lunabis: That is... quite comforting.
- (If the player approaches the door on the northern side of the room while it is still locked)
- Phainon: (Trailblazer), where are you going?
- Phainon: There might still be rampaging Titankin outside, so it's best not to act alone.
- (Approach the Hand of Zagreus)
- Dan Heng: Maybe the Hand of Zagreus can help us to put the "hard drive" back to where it's meant to be...
- Dan Heng: You're an expert at that, (Trailblazer).
- (Repaired 1/3 "hard drive")
- Hyacine: This is it?
- Hyacine: This is it? That's certainly... pretty crude and simple.
- Hyacine: Should we go look for the next one?
- (Repaired 2/3 "hard drive")
- Hyacine: All good. Let's keep going.
- (Repaired all "hard drive")
- Dan Heng: It's reacting. Looks like my guess was right.
- Hyacine: As expected, Grayie is getting more and more skilled at handling the Hand of Zagreus.
- Hyacine: Let's go. We should return and check on the celestial globe.
Use the celestial globe to alter the firmament again and force the Titan to reveal themself[]
- Hyacine: Let's go. We should return and check on the celestial globe.
- (Operate celestial globe)
- Hyacine: ..."The turn of dawn and dusk, commanding the celestial globe..."
- Hyacine: "Blot out the blazing sun, Celestial Mural!"
- Lunabis: Aquila has left.
- Phainon: We've already changed two scenes on the Mural. Where else can they go?
- Lunabis: In the direction that the denizens of the sky have prayed to their whole lives — upward.
- Dan Heng: Will they... fly beyond the clouds, to heights that are beyond our reach?
- Dan Heng: As far as we know, it was Aquila that placed the curse on this world, preventing Amphoreans from ever reaching the realm beyond the sky.
- Lunabis: A curse that fell from the sky...
- Lunabis: I can't verify the truth of this claim. When Seliose fought Aquila, the Titan's incarnation did ascend into the skies... But they never attempted to break through the sky's veil to escape our pursuit.
- It could also be that they didn't want to win unfairly.
- Dan Heng: There's also another possibility... Maybe even Aquila — the Titan wielding the divine authority of the sky — is not able to break through the sky.
- Could it be that they, too, were unable to break through the heavens?
- Dan Heng: It is not impossible.
- Dan Heng: Perhaps the interpretation of the myth is inaccurate... It might be someone else who seeks to prevent Amphoreans from reaching the world beyond the sky.
- Phainon: Regardless, we can only know the truth after we've defeated them.
- Phainon: Before we press on... (Trailblazer), Mem, let's unveil the history for Hyacine. The true story behind the legend is yet to be fully revealed.
- Mem: Okay, leave it to me!
- Mem: Flowing... Gathering...
- Mem: Recollection... Reveal!
[]
- (Investigate)
- Harsh Rainfolk: Oh, Daughter of Dusk, who has permitted your return to this sacred land of the Cloudborn? Bearing the blood of heresy and curse of gold, exile is your eternal sentence.
- Listen to the conversation between Seliose and the Rainfolk.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: My kin of old... I am no longer the immature fledgling I once was. I've found my wings.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: The shackles you bound me with have rusted away, and I shall decide which direction I'll fly.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: As for this return home — before I embark on my god-slaying quest, those who worship the god who is about to die deserve to know everything.
- Cowardly Rainfolk: So, the dreadful rumors are true...
- Cowardly Rainfolk: The cursed Daughter of Dusk, the invincible Daythunder Knight, will soar into the heavens to challenge the Titan...
- Despairing Rainfolk: Why would you do this, Seliose? You were once such a warm-hearted girl... In this hall of the Cloudborn, you prayed so devoutly to Aquila!
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: I've seen through the Titan's indifference, and grown weary of the tragic dances mortals perform under their neglect.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: I see how you blame the god for their favoritism, yet lack the courage to rebel against the core of your beliefs. You're quick to turn your blades on your kin, but you never dare to confront the true source of your hatred.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: I feel sorry for you. I grew up among you and once saw myself as part of this tribe...
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: The persecution you've suffered runs deep. For that, I understand your hatred towards me... and I forgive you for casting me out.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: Out of care for you all, I'll walk this path — on behalf of everyone.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: Let the fall of the "Eye of Twilight" mark the dawn of a new chapter in history. Upon my return, there will be no more unjust gods...
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: When a broken faith finally disappears, the children of humanity will be reborn, the skies will mend, and the divide between day and night will fade away.
- Harsh Rainfolk: You are so naive, Daughter of Dusk... so powerful, yet so innocent...
- Harsh Rainfolk: I fear you... I can't imagine how twisted you may become when you realize that shallow and fragile mortals can't bear the immense weight of your boundless love...
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: ...Farewell, my kin. I'll always remember the tenderness you once showed me. Meager but refreshing, like gentle rain.
- Seliose the Daythunder Knight: Fly, Lunabis.
- Hyacine: Lady Seliose's resolve to slay the Titan was as firm as her farewell to her people was dismal.
- Phainon: Yet, from this memory, I sense something ominous... What happened later, Lady Lunabis?
- Lunabis: ...
- Lunabis: Rather than listening to me, continue onward and witness for yourselves.
- Lunabis: Follow the trail Aquila has left, heroes. This time, I will guide you alongside Solabis.
- Little Ica: Doot-Doot... Doot?
- Lunabis: Sorry, little one... I hope we still have time to talk later.
- Stop listening and move on.
- Lunabis: Follow the trail Aquila has left, heroes. This time, I will guide you alongside Solabis.
Continue forward and join up with Solabis[]
- Hyacine: Seliose is such a mighty hero... Yet her partner, who must have walked with her to pass on her bloodline, was completely unrecorded in legend.
- Hyacine: Was he also a warrior? Or perhaps...
- Lunabis: You will soon have your answer, Miss Hyacine.
- Hyacine: Lord Solabis is waiting for us.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Solabis: They soared toward the mural's dome... I remember that place.
- Lunabis: I remember too, Solabis.
- Listen to the final battle between Seliose and Aquila
- Phainon: What exactly... happened there?
- Solabis: At the Celestial Mural's dome, we dealt Aquila a fatal blow.
- Solabis: The Sunlit Wings set the Titan's Wings aflame...
- Lunabis: The Moonlit Plume sealed the divine body...
- Hyacine: "The battered hero of the sky... pierced the last monstrous eye."
- Hyacine: It seems that the legend describing the decisive battle was true.
- Lunabis: But some things cannot be recorded — they were only witnessed by us.
- Hyacine: ...Would you mind sharing more, honored ones?
- Solabis: After Aquila's defeated scream, we looked to the ground.
- Solabis: The people who watched us fight — we saw the expressions on their faces.
- Lunabis: Old and young, adults and children alike, they all shared the same expression — pure, unshakable terror.
- Solabis: Our victory brought no cheers or celebrations. The terrified crowd became chaotic, screaming and trampling each other...
- Solabis: When they realized that their centuries-old faith had been overturned by a cursed child of two clans...
- Lunabis: They regressed into senseless beasts that devoured their own kin. No... that would be an insult to beasts. Solabis and I have never witnessed such madness, not even in the wildest corners of Amphoreus.
- This outcome... was foreseeable.
- Dan Heng: Seliose... was indeed rather naive.
- Seliose was indeed naive.
- Dan Heng: She probably thought that, once there's no turning back, everyone would come to their sense like she did.
- Their faith drove them mad.
- Dan Heng: Seliose... was indeed rather naive.
- Hyacine: This doesn't align with the historical records. According to the legends of the Sky people, Aquila, gravely wounded, was determined to fight to the end...
- Hyacine: To prevent Aquila from using the sky of Amphoreus as a weapon to crush the earth, the hero Seliose chose to sacrifice herself, sealing the Titan in the process...
- Phainon: ...Legends and epics have always erased the cruelty, the bloodshed, and the cries of the commoners, while glorifying the heroes and their triumphs.
- Solabis: You'll witness a side of the legend that's never been told, young Hyacinthia. With a truth hidden for a millennium before you, can you still walk with the same conviction?
- Lunabis: It will be a harsh truth, one that is bound to shake your beliefs. Are you ready to face it, Miss Hyacine?
- Hyacine: ...
- Hyacine: I am ready, honored ones.
- Hyacine: No matter what the hidden history holds, the spirits of my ancestors will urge me to make the right choice. This mission is far more important than my personal feelings or biases.
- Hyacine: If what I'm facing is a distorted history, a lie that's lasted for a thousand years... I have to believe the one who created it had their reasons and struggles.
- Hyacine: And as for those reasons, I choose to believe they came from a place of goodwill. That's how I see the world.
- Solabis: Since you've made your decision, keep moving forward.
- Solabis: I've called forth the Rainbow Bridge. Proceed along its path to the dome where the entwined fates of humanity and the Titan must be resolved.
- Let's hurry.
- Solabis: Since you've made your decision, keep moving forward.
- Solabis: I've called forth the Rainbow Bridge. Proceed along its path to the dome where the entwined fates of humanity and the Titan must be resolved.
Continue forward and track down Aquila[]
- (Approach the marked location)
- Dan Heng: Careful...!
- Phainon: They're desperately struggling to block our path, but we've backed them into a corner.
- Hyacine: This hurdle is trivial compared to the endless Flame-Chase Journey.
- Hyacine: I'll restore the bridge every time... No matter how many times the Titan obstructs us!
Use the West Wind Compass to rebuild the path[]
- (Solved the West Wind Compass puzzle)
- Lunabis: The miracle she never stopped dreaming of... is just one step away from becoming reality.
- Hyacine: Honored ones... how did Lady Seliose become so powerful?
- Solabis: Talent, and rigorous training.
- Hyacine: Those... sound like essential traits for every successful individual.
- Solabis: She is special. Her resolve goes beyond mere stubbornness.
- Lunabis: Continue forward along the Rainbow Bridge, heroes.
Continue forward and track down Aquila[]
- (While crossing the Rainbow Bridge)
- Solabis: A god-slayer can tell the state of their prey by its sounds.
- Solabis: The god's part? I sense resentment. Terror.
- Solabis: But as for her... I cannot sense anything.
- (While riding the floating platform)
- Hyacine: Aquila... already seems aware of their fate.
- Phainon: We won't make them wait for too long. A Titan shall get Dawnmaker to have its first taste of blood.
- Solabis: That sword you wield... it seems familiar.
- Phainon: Are you sure about that? This was only recently forged.
- Solabis: ...Perhaps.
- Phainon: Is this the dome of the celestial mural? It's truly marvelous.
- Dan Heng: The dome still displays a vivid sun. By also covering this mural in clouds, we'll leave Aquila with no place to hide.
- Lunabis: Exactly. Employ the tactics you've mastered to expose them, and...
- Solabis: ...Hyacinthia, we will heed your wishes, channeling our strength to reveal Aquila's true form.
- Hyacine: My wishes...
- Solabis: It's been a thousand years. Without our pact, Lunabis and I might have dissipated like everything else here.
- Lunabis: Our pact requires us to await the return of the Skyfolk to their ancestral lands... to complete the mission of reclaiming the Titan's Coreflame.
- Lunabis: We will carry out your will, Miss Hyacine, as faithfully as we kept our promise to Seliose.
- Hyacine: But first, we shall reveal the whole truth of history —
- Hyacine: — We will reveal all that befell the Skyfolk after Seliose initiated the Flame-Chase Journey.
- Solabis: ...As it should be.
- Phainon: Be careful! There are multiple threats!
- Phainon: Soldiers tainted by the black tide... Do they continue to defend the realm of the Sky Titan after all this time?
- Lunabis: Perhaps they are protecting the truth slumbering here.
- Solabis: Aside from the descendants of the sky named in the pact, no one else is entitled to access the memories here.
- Phainon: I'm increasingly intrigued by what happened next.
- Phainon: Let's deal with these fallen guards first, then...
- Phainon: ...embark on this final lesson in history!
- (Enter battle against Tide-Eroded Blade ×1, Black Tide's Champion ×1, Black Tide Council ×1)
- (During battle)
- Phainon: Dawnmaker feels lighter and lighter in my hands...
- Phainon: I feel that I can do more than just cut down evil with this blade —
- Phainon: — With golden flames, I can forge a new dawn!
- Lunabis: You have fulfilled your duty, guards... Rest now.
- Hyacine: God of the Sky, we are here... Your resentment and terror will soon end.
- Hyacine: Lady Seliose... do you still have your humanity after merging with the Titan? I hope you can witness the harvest of the seeds you once sowed.
- Hyacine: Now... only the final steps remain.
- Mem: ...Something's off.
- Mem: I can feel the memories here churning. It's as if countless emotions have lingered through the ages, refusing to fade away.
- Why is that?
- Is it haunted?
- Mem: The wandering memories here seem to be pleading for something... heavy with pain and grief...
- Mem: Like ghosts lingering by the River of Souls...
- Phainon: Are you ready, Hyacine?
- Hyacine: Yes. The Flame-Chase Journey is reaching its final chapter. No matter how cruel the truth may be, nothing will sway my determination to finish this mission.
- Phainon: The true history buried in time must come to light. The fates of mortals shouldn't be lost beneath polished myths.
- Hyacine: We're on the same page, Lord Phainon.
- Solabis: Go to the celestial globe, Hyacinthia.
- Solabis: The forgotten past will reveal itself to you, one fragment at a time. Hold fast to your resolve — you'll need it to face what lies ahead.
