Dialogue[]
Speak with Krateros[]
Mission DescriptionThe hunt for the Flame Reaver ends in victory for the Chrysos Heirs. Now bearing the mission of attaining divinity, you face another crucial choice: Claim the throne or return home.
- Krateros: ...
- Mydei: I see the Reaper has forsaken you, too, teacher.
- Krateros: Hmph, it simply put my life in the hands of the Twilight Courtyard.
- Krateros: That priest girl's medical talents are truly exceptional... She might be far from the ordinary girl we envisioned.
- Krateros: But this isn't about me, Mydeimos. I saw it... You've finally decided to embrace your own fate.
- Mydei: The power of Strife is stirring a tempest within me as we speak... My bones have turned into steel, and my blood is seething and ablaze. Past rulers of Kremnos could only aspire to this might, yet I have merged with it.
- Mydei: I've made history, and henceforth, divinity and kingship shall coexist as one.
- Krateros: Indeed. You've realized the aspirations of every former king of Kremnos.
- Krateros: And now, you can at last bring our people home and reforge the glory of Kremnos.
- Mydei: ...Unfortunately, I harbor no such desire.
- Krateros: Wha—What do you mean by that?
- Mydei: Over two millennia past, devotees of Nikador's might banded together beneath their feet and erected a city of their own. Ever since then, Kremnoans have served as the blades wielded by the god of war, following the Titan's path in its conquest.
- Mydei: Yet, gazing upon our history through the lens of my newfound divinity, I now see it with unprecedented clarity.
- Mydei: This history is sheer absurdity and inferiority. People surged onto the battlefield like ants, plundering and slaying for their own greed, only to be trampled upon... like ants.
- Mydei: The city and the beliefs that Kremnoans hold so dearly, alongside the supposed tradition... are mere anthills that can be crushed with a single touch in the eyes of the Titan.
- Krateros: You...!
- Krateros: Are you trying to strip Kremnoans of the pride we've amassed over thousands of years with mere words?!
- Mydei: ...That pride holds little significance, Krateros. Now that I've assumed the divinity of Strife, my next step...
- Mydei: Will be to renounce the title of "King."
- Krateros: ...No! NO!
- Mydei: Convey my message to every Kremnoan — this is an order.
- Krateros: Do not do this, Mydeimos...
- Krateros: I beg you...!
- Mydei: Our history commenced in Year 2506 of the Light Calendar and concluded in Year 4931. I, Mydeimos, last King of Castrum Kremnos, son of Gorgo, do hereby proclaim...
- Mydei: The Kremnoan dynasty comes to an official close today.
- Krateros: You have killed us...
- Krateros: You have killed us all...
- Mydei: No, I am granting you a new beginning.
- Krateros: What is this...
- Mydei: My mother's signet ring. It served as a symbol of kingship, and I now imbue it with a fresh significance.
- Mydei: Take it and rally those who have lost their identities. Convey the words of Mydeimos, now ascended to divinity:
- Mydei: You no longer need to chase fleeting honors or face death on the battlefield as if it were your sole destination. However, you must adapt to fit into this city that you once observed with indifferent eyes.
- Mydei: A cruel fate awaits Amphoreus. No matter how illustrious a dynasty may seem, it crumbles to rubble and gravel before formidable foes.
- Mydei: Yet, you shall tread the only path out, one that leads to a brand-new world at its end.
- Krateros: Why task me with being your messenger? Why not explain all this to them yourself?
- Mydei: Because only humans can guide the path to be trodden by humans. It's not the lot of "humans" who crave the power of gods and spiral into madness for it...
- Mydei: But "humans" who stand ready to raise their shields high to protect the lives behind them.
- Krateros: ...
- Krateros: I failed to save that child.
- Mydei: That is irrelevant. As demigods, they have long been prepared for it.
- Mydei: What truly matters is that you showed up there and shielded her.
- Krateros: The one who persuaded Aglaea to set me free that night... Was that you, Mydeimos?
- Mydei: Yes.
- Krateros: She's not one to easily make a concession. What did you offer her?
- Mydei: I staked my mother's name to guarantee the integrity of your soul to her, and...
- Mydei: ...I promised her that I would dedicate all I have to the Flame-Chase Journey.
- Krateros: And what is next, Mydeimos...?
- Krateros: ...Where will you be headed now?
- Mydei: To the place where I belong, to fulfill my promise.
- Mydei: The madness that has plagued Nikador and the darkness that has consumed Amphoreus...
- Mydei: It's now my turn to fight against it.
Bid farewell to Aglaea[]
- Step DescriptionYou decisively reject the Kremnoans' centuries-old obsession with glory, opting to return home alone and assume Nikador's duty against the black tide. Before starting your homeward journey, you need to say goodbye to your friends in the city.
- Mydei: There are some people to meet with before I leave.
- Mydei: Let's go.
- (Speak to Aglaea)
- Aglaea: You're here, Mydeimos...
- Aglaea: It seems that you are prepared.
- Mydei: Yes.
- Aglaea: You aided Okhema through yet another trying ordeal, and my gratitude knows no bounds.
- Mydei: Isn't that exactly what you wanted?
- Aglaea: Not everything unfolds according to my plan. In the current state of the world, I can only proceed one step at a time. Furthermore...
- Aglaea: You are ready to dedicate all that you have, regardless of the promise you made to me, aren't you?
- Mydei: Throughout my time in the holy city, I've gleaned valuable lessons from you — strategy, leadership, and adaptability to change... Yet, it's only recently that I've come to realize the truly remarkable quality you possess.
- Aglaea: And what is it?
- Mydei: It's the magnetic allure in your presence. It draws people to gather around you willingly, to seek your guidance.
- Mydei: They strive not to disappoint you, not due to fear of repercussions, but out of sincere alignment with your ideals.
- Mydei: That is precisely what every ruler of Castrum Kremnos has been missing.
- Aglaea: ...I am truly honored to hear that.
- Aglaea: And now, Mydeimos, you have risen as the most powerful demigod in the world. How do you intend to wield this newfound power?
- Mydei: I shall see Nikador's aborted mission through to completion, and become the strongest bulwark for Amphoreus to defend against the black tide.
- Mydei: I will secure enough time for the Flame-Chase Journey until you manage to lead everyone to reach the miracle of "Genesis."
- Aglaea: Mydeimos, a new chapter awaits Amphoreus... Yet, the one who guides the people to the destination need not be you and I.
- Mydei: Hehe...
- Mydei: What did you see after assuming Mnestia's divinity?
- Aglaea: ...Despite the passage of a thousand years, every word of that prophecy remains as vivid as ever.
- Aglaea: "You shall have your final bath in warm and radiant gold."
- Mydei: ...Heh, just as cryptic as all the other prophecies.
- Mydei: Haha...
- Aglaea: What's the reason for the laughter?
- Mydei: I was just thinking... if an ordinary person encountered these words, they would probably stay away from the baths for the rest of their life.
- Aglaea: But I cannot forgo the delightful experience a bath offers.
- Aglaea: So, I assume you also glimpsed yours, Mydeimos?
- Mydei: ...
- Mydei: "One day, you shall die with a wound in your back."
- Aglaea: Well, that is a rather straightforward scenario.
- Mydei: If I were to be terrified by drivel with no basis, I would not have attracted your gaze and joined the Flame-Chase Journey in the first place.
- Aglaea: You speak the truth. May you be destined for a powerful fate, and may we reunite in the promised new world...
- Aglaea: Farewell, Mydei.
Bid farewell to the Trailblazer and Dan Heng[]
- (Speak to Aglaea, optional)
- Aglaea: Farewell, Mydei.
- (Speak to Chartonus, optional)
- Chartonus: The King of Kremnos, without the signet ring... But looking more like a king now.
- Mydei: I'm no longer the "king," Grand Craftsman.
- Chartonus: Matters not, the title. Surpassed all former kings, your achievements have.
- Mydei: I will honor your trust and liberate the world from the clutches of fear.
- Mydei: Nevertheless, I must request that you continue to watch over Phainon, Chartonus. I have a feeling that his fate... will weigh heavier than all of ours combined.
- Chartonus: Keep Phainon in mind, I will. Return to your home, brave king.
- Chartonus: Together with everyone, I shall remain here. That thunder... from Castrum Kremnos, we wait to hear.
- (Approach marked location in the Garden of Life, optional)
- Mydei: Is Lady Tribios not here...?
- Hyacine: Lord Mydei!
- Mydei: Hyacine?
- Mydei: So you are the physician Krateros spoke of. It's no wonder then that he was pulled back from the brink of death. You have my gratitude.
- Hyacine: Heh... I can take that as a compliment, right?
- Mydei: I've heard about what happened at the Grove. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
- Hyacine: ...I've heard far too much about death and grief recently. To quote Lady Tribbie, we should all focus on tomorrow, shouldn't we?
- Mydei: That's a valid point... You have always been the most optimistic one among us.
- Hyacine: Well, I must say, it feels quite incredible... to see a new demigod standing right before me.
- Mydei: You should prepare yourself as well.
- Mydei: ...Humanity has already taken hold of "Strife," and one day, they will also reach the "Sky."
- Hyacine: ...Do you really believe I can do it? Even my ancestor, that hero of legends, couldn't conquer the Coreflame of Aquila.
- Mydei: Given your good rapport with the demigods, you should know that the path to assuming divinity is never limited to swords and spears.
- Hyacine: ...
- Hyacine: You've always been so perceptive, Lord Mydei. Rest assured. If fate has truly selected me, I will be ready.
- Hyacine: Right. You are here looking for Lady Tribbie and Lady Trinnon, no? They're not around at the moment. Is there a message you'd like me to pass on to them?
- Mydei: No need. I have already bid farewell to Aglaea. Meeting with the oracle is simply a matter of courtesy.
- Hyacine: You've bid... farewell?
- Mydei: I'm heading back to Castrum Kremnos to fight against the black tide. In all likelihood, I will never again return to Okhema.
- Hyacine: Oh...
- Mydei: On second thought, there is something that I'd like you to help me convey to them.
- Hyacine: I'm all ears, Lord Mydei. I'll make sure to convey every single word.
- Mydei: ...Tell them that there is no longer a need to send scouts behind enemy lines. With a single message, the Lance of Fury will target anyone who dares oppose Okhema.
- (Speak to Castorice, optional)
- Castorice: ...Lord Mydei.
- Mydei: I'll be embracing my destiny before you do, Castorice.
- Castorice: Can you... feel Thanatos right now?
- Mydei: I don't feel them at all, regrettably.
- Mydei: You have been painstakingly seeking that Titan for so long, but have you ever considered reaching out to me for help?
- Castorice: You mean...?
- Mydei: Death refused to ferry me. If you were to send me to the nether realm, I may uncover clues along the way back.
- Castorice: I would never do that, Lord Mydei. Death is not a game.
- Mydei: ...You're right. That may very well be the reason why my people have struggled for millennia — they underestimated the significance of death.
- Castorice: So, are you returning home alone, Lord Mydei?
- Mydei: Returning home, you say... Heh, maybe. At this moment, Castrum Kremnos is not just my birthplace, but also my fated destination.
- Mydei: Work harder, Castorice. Go and do what you have to do, so that the trials we have endured may have meaning.
- Castorice: I will, Lord Mydei.
- Castorice: May we reunite on the other side, where the warm west wind blows.
- (Speak to (Trailblazer) and Dan Heng)
- Dan Heng: ...Mydei?
- Mydei: Outlanders... no, Trailblazers, I will soon make my way to Castrum Kremnos.
- Mydei: If all goes according to plan, this may be our final meeting. I just want to let you know that I appreciate everything you have done for Amphoreus.
- Dan Heng: Reflecting on the past and moving forward to the future — a challenge I've faced as well.
- Dan Heng: Though we never had a chance for a deep conversation, after all we've experienced together... you are also an ally of the Trailblaze, Mydei.
- Mydei: That means a lot to me. May success accompany your Trailblazing wherever it leads.
- (Trailblazer): ...
- Mydei: Heh... How about you let me guess what's on your mind?
- I guess... (He/
She) will say something inspiring. - Mydei: Are you thinking about... saying something inspiring?
- (Trailblazer): ...Eat more greens, work out more often, avoid mindless reads, and get more sleep.
- I guess... (He/
She) will say something sentimental. - Mydei: Are you drafting... a sentimental farewell speech?
- (Trailblazer): ...Stay safe out there. A lone boy can get into a lot of trouble.
- I guess... (He/
She) will say something nonsensical. - Mydei: Are you going to say something insane again, Trailblazer?
- (Trailblazer): *sob* ...What are we going to do without you?
- Mydei: ...
- Dan Heng: Just smile if you don't know how to respond.
- Mydei: ...Haha.
- Mydei: Now that I bear the divine within me, I can get the vague feeling that... that you have a great significance for the future of Amphoreus.
- Mydei: With this departure, I fear that I will never again return. Can I entrust you both to watch my back... and to continue supporting the Flame-Chase Journey in my absence?
- Dan Heng: ...Rest assured. We'll do everything we can.
- Mydei: You have my gratitude. Then, farewell.
- (Trailblazer): ...Hold on.
- Mydei: Yes?
- (Trailblazer): Let's at least snap a photo together to capture this moment, shall we?
- Mydei: Hah... Sure. Let's do it.
Take a commemorative photo with the Trailblazer and Dan Heng[]
- (Speak to (Trailblazer), optional)
- (Trailblazer): Let's at least snap a photo together to capture this moment, shall we?
- (Take a picture)
- Dan Heng: Looks pretty good. What do you think, Mydei?
- Mydei: Hmph, well... It feels peculiar, I suppose? I'm not talking about your photographic skills. It's just that I rarely take photos...
- Mydei: But this one... It's pretty good.
- (Trailblazer): I never fail to impress.
- Dan Heng: I'm glad you like it. Make sure not to leave any regrets behind.
- Mydei: ...I wish the same for you during your time in Amphoreus.
Bid farewell to Phainon[]
- Andriskos: The prince is here. Run!
- Marsyas: Hold on! Lord Mydeimos isn't the prince anymore... He's now the Guardian of Amphoreus!
- Mydei: What's going on?
Bid farewell to Okhema[]
- (Catch up with Demetri)
- Demetri: We salute the Guardian of Amphoreus!
- Mydei: ...
- (Idle chats)
- Adult male: We salute you.
- Adult female: May triumph always be yours.
- Adult male: May glory be with you.
- Adult female: Return home on our behalf, Guardian!
- Adult male: We dedicate our lives to following you.
- Adult female: You will forever be our king.
- Adult male: Farewell... Savior of Kremnos.
- Adult female: Enlighten us with your guidance.
- Adult male: May glory be with you.
- Adult female: We salute you.
- Adult male: May triumph always be yours.
- Adult female: May glory be with you.
- Adult male: Enlighten us with your guidance.
- Adult female: You will forever be our king.
- Adult male: We dedicate our lives to following you.
- Adult male: May triumph always be yours, King of Kremnos.
- Adult female: Farewell, Mydeimos!
- Adult male: Please fend off the black tide for us, Guardian...
- Adult female: Glory belongs to you, son of Gorgo!
- (Head towards Phainon)
- Phainon: It's been a while, "Guardian."
- (Players should complete optional step before continuing past this point as there is no returning to it past this point)
- (Approach Phainon)
- Mydei: Hmph, I should've known you were the mastermind behind this.
- Phainon: Hey, don't go pointing fingers without cause. I swear I'm innocent this time.
- Phainon: See those kids over there? They're the ones who brought everyone together.
- Mydei: ...I admit, that took me by surprise.
- Phainon: Were you seriously just going to sneak off without a word with me?
- Mydei: Well, I was actually on my way to bid farewell to you, but ended up running into this.
- Phainon: Oh... That's quite an honor, I suppose.
- Phainon: We better not leave them waiting too long, don't you think?
- Mydei: The road to Castrum Kremnos from here is long.
- Mydei: Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea... to take a moment and etch their faces in my memory one last time.
Walk with Phainon for the last part of the journey[]
- (Head out past the guards)
- Mydei: I think I see... more than just the Kremnoans here.
- Phainon: You're now the Guardian of Amphoreus, after all.
- (Idle chats)
- Adult male: Farewell, Guardian!
- Adult female: We salute you!
- Adult male: You're our hope!
- Adult female: Have a safe journey.
- (Head down the road)
- Phainon: I'm thinking... Maybe it's about time the god of "Strife" gets a new name.
- Phainon: How about the god of "Solidarity"? Or... "Preservation"? Dan Heng mentioned that one to me.
- Mydei: I recommend that you steer clear of any situation that calls for naming things.
- Phainon: Hah... I suppose "Strife" still fits you better.
- (Approach Phainon)
- Phainon: Alright... It's about time for us to part ways.
- Phainon: Any final goodbyes you want to share? This might be your last chance.
- Mydei: Hmph...
- Phainon: ...Why so quiet? I thought divinity would wash away some of your sentiments.
- Mydei: Do you truly feel as carefree as you seem? Or... is this just a facade you wear?
- Phainon: ...You know what, you sound just like Aglaea at this moment.
- Phainon: But you're not off the mark... I just thought putting on a nonchalant front for this occasion might help us preserve some dignity.
- Mydei: I can see through your deception even without the power of mind-reading.
- Phainon: Am I really that terrible at controlling my facial expressions?
- Phainon: Well, with that said... thank you for aiding me in defeating my archenemy, Mydeimos.
- Mydei: No need to thank me.
- Mydei: This triumph brings no delight, nor does it signify closure — you understand that more than me.
- Phainon: ...Indeed. In the end, I still haven't unraveled the mystery behind that black-robed swordmaster, and I can't even ascertain their demise.
- Phainon: Maybe I've never managed to cut off my destiny.
- Mydei: But that matters not. Pain may be cured, but scars remain, and they should not be effaced. Even with the divine might of Oronyx, you cannot stop the past from leaving its marks in our blind spots.
- Mydei: Can you genuinely let go of everything as soon as that swordmaster is dead? That's impossible. Revenge is merely an obligation that must be carried out, and no one can find mental fulfillment through it.
- Phainon: ...You're right.
- Mydei: Look forward. Chew up and swallow your past, then make sure emptiness and bitterness are not the only flavors you know.
- Mydei: Remember that there is a whole world behind you waiting to be saved.
- Phainon: I will keep that in mind.
- Mydei: I have a final favor to ask: Please look after the Kremnoan warriors in my absence.
- Mydei: They will undoubtedly face challenges while assimilating into Okhema... It is my sole regret that I cannot stand by them during this time.
- Phainon: Do not worry. Leave it to me.
- Phainon: And while I'm at it, I'm going to find out if the Kremnoan language is really missing that many words.
- Mydei: Hmph, the Kremnoan philosophy can never be encapsulated in a mere dictionary.
- Mydei: But... if there's a chance in the next life, you should come visit my library.
- Mydei: I'll be on my way, Deliverer. Remember to stay alive till the final act.
- Phainon: Yes.
- Phainon: Same goes for you. Don't die too easily —
- Phainon: May triumph always be yours, Mydeimos.
- Mydei: ...Oh, right.
- Mydei: One last question.
- Phainon: Go ahead. You better not leave any regrets behind.
- Mydei: Are you the one who told Chartonus about the signet ring?
- Phainon: Well...
- Phainon: Who knows?

Missing Mission Still or Animation (Mydei with cup)
- Mydei: Hah... Hah...
- Gorgo, Mydei's Mother: Get up, my son! You showed great courage in today's training. Let's wrap it up for now.
- Mydei: Yes, Mother.
- Mydei: Mother... There's something I want to ask you.
- Gorgo, Mydei's Mother: What is it, Mydeimos?
- Mydei: Why must we learn to fight?
- Gorgo, Mydei's Mother: It is for glory and honor, my son. For Kremnoans, mastery of swords and spears is ingrained from birth, and the battlefield is our destined end.
- Mydei: Is that really the way it is, Mother?
- Gorgo, Mydei's Mother: What makes you say so?
- Mydei: Because you don't sound entirely sure.
- Gorgo, Mydei's Mother: ...You're right, Mydeimos.
- Gorgo, Mydei's Mother: I once believed those words without question until your father cast you into the Sea of Souls.
- Gorgo, Mydei's Mother: It was at that moment I realized how everything I believed in was utterly hollow. Perhaps the spirit of Kremnos had once existed... but as greed bloomed in the hearts of humanity over the years, such spirit had long faded alongside our glory.
- Gorgo, Mydei's Mother: I no longer put my faith in any oath or doctrine. Now, I have just one role...
- Gorgo, Mydei's Mother: That of your mother, Mydeimos. Your guardian...
- Mydei: ...That dream always ends there. The journey back to Castrum Kremnos is proving to be longer than expected.
- Mydei: Krateros said that, shortly after my fall into the sea, my mother challenged my father to a duel — She died through Father's treachery, and I never saw her face.
- Mydei: Yet each night, she would show up, waiting by the flickering firelight. I always anticipated the sequel to that dream, believing she had more words of wisdom or guidance to offer...
- Mydei: But now... I think I have finally come to understand. That is all she wished to tell me.
- Mydei: And now, I too am left with but one role…
Return home[]
- Step DescriptionI, the undying Mydeimos, the Last Prince, the new God of Strife... now tread the blood-soaked road home.
- Mydei: It is time for this journey to reach its end.
- (Idle chats)
- Adult female: Welcome back!
- Adult male: We meet again, Your Highness.
- Adult female: How was your training?
- Adult male: You're looking well.
- Adult female: I look forward to fighting beside you!
- Adult male: May Nikador defend you.
- Adult female: I'm going to beat you at the festival!
- (Approach Perdikkas)
- Perdikkas: Look, Mydeimos is back!
- Hephaestion: We've got fresh pomegranate juice. Want to try some?
- Partners: Welcome back!
- (When we return to the present)
- Mydei: ...
- (Return to past)
- Ptolemy: Say! Come and check out what I just wrote...
- Leonnius: Mydeimos! Did you just come back from training?
- Peucesta: It's... been a while.
- (Return to past again)
- Gorgo, Mydei's Mother: Welcome home... Mydeimos.
- Gorgo, Mydei's Mother: Have you found something deserving of your protection as well?
- (Cutscene starts)
-
- Crowd: The son of Gorgo will be crowned in blood!
- Crowd: The son of Gorgo will be crowned in blood!
- Mydei: Mother...
- Mydei: ...I'm home.
- (Cutscene ends)
- Year 4931 of the Light Calendar, Month of Balance
Nikador — the Strife Titan, Lance of Fury — fell. Mydeimos, king of Kremnos, triumphed over the trial, and the new god was born. - On the following day, the Kremnoan dynasty, which had lasted for a thousand years, came to an end.
- Returning to the Trailblazer's POV...
- When you have a chance to make a choice, make one that you know you won't regret.
