Description:
Life on the planet is most likely doomed due to the Fog, a miasma that corrupts and kills everything that's exposed to it. You play as two warriors with different outlooks on life as they try to make the best of their final days in this hellscape of a world. Oh, and there's resource management, cuz this is an apocalypse game.

0:00 Recap
0:15 Asala
The knights gather in the training hall, but Amalie is still outside looking for civilians. Aeyr insists on going outside to find her, but once the Hellspawn shows up, the castle will close its doors. While Aeyr and Amalie get the rest of the civvies inside, they have no choice but to fight the Hellspawn so that it doesn't get inside.
9:11 Boss: Junsunia
The boss has decent defenses and HP, and it gets three actions per round. I recommend having Aeyr buff his power and using the axe buff to increase his hitcount.
13:00 Revenant Transformation
The party lets their guard down despite what Aeyr saw in the dream, which I think seems like a forced mistake. The Hellspawn uses the fog to revive and stab Aeyr in the back.
The strange man from Aeyr's dream shows up. Vanessa identifies him as Gauron and warns Aeyr not to trust the latter. Aeyr does so anyways and becomes a Revenant with control over Soulfire.
16:36 Boss: Aeyr vs Junsunia
This time, Aeyr can drain Soulfire from the enemy to gain new abilities. Note that when doing so, he loses any drives granted by his offhand equipment, which the game doesn't warn you about until after you can access the main menu again. Seriously, this is some bad tutorial design.
19:29 Et Tu Amalie
Unfortunately, the Asalans, including Amalie, no longer trust Aeyr and believe he's nothing more than a dead husk for the demon possessing him.
20:36 Boss: Aeyr vs Amalie
Unlike me, make sure to use Focus Power before draining Soulfire.
22:20 Injury
Amalie is injured and Aeyr retreats. Back in Vanessa's room, Amalie reveals that her wound won't heal for some reason, so she's going to be weakened for the rest of the game.
26:06 Lakreshin Valley Camp
Mia and the survivors of Honneleth are gathered here, but Paladin Vance is a real hard***. Vance wants Mia to scout the east part of the valley to determine if the route is viable. He doesn't give her anyone to escort her, despite the knights supposedly advocating the buddy system, so a civilian, Parker, offers to go with her.
Unfortunately, Aeyr's inventory doesn't carry over, so I screwed myself over a bit by not having any extra equipment. Fortunately, Mia is still statistically strong enough to survive this segment.
33:46 Lakreshin Valley
You should definitely avoid as many encounters as you can, since you can't use any inn service at all in this segment. Real fair.
Once you find a good route, Mia and Parker will return to the camp, but a monster knocks Parker off a cliff. You have to travel down the south path to find him, but his leg is broken. He fears that Vance will have him executed for being a burden, but Mia thinks they can lie and say it's a sprain.
44:23 Lakreshin Valley Camp P2
The other civilians agree to keep Parker's broken leg a secret. Amalie shows up to the west, but a miniboss attacks her, and only Mia is willing to help her.
46:10 Boss: Sadist
48:42 Lakreshin Valley Camp P3
Vance finds out about Parker's injury and tries to kill him, but Mia fights back.
55:03 Boss: Vance
He has two mooks, so play defensive for now and use Mia's counterattack buff every round. Amalie will eventually join to even the odds.
58:35 Lakreshin Valley Camp P4
Amalie takes command of the knights and Mia takes command of the civilians. Vance accepts defeat for now and agrees to follow orders, but I'm not sure if this will work out.
