=======================================================
0:00 A Canoe?
For the first map of the Archipelago, you have to ride a canoe to get all the chests and find the boss. The canoe is slow, so turn off Synch Monitor FPS.
1:43 Boss: Medusa
Like Marilith, you'll need Charm Bracelets to resist her aura. She can also occasionally counter physical attacks with a sunder reflex skill.
4:12 Virgil's Memory 1
At the time Virgil decided to stay behind in Sorbithia, he still didn't know Pots killed his family. When he sleeps, it's revealed that Zacharael was tempting him in his dreams. playing on his lust for knowledge and power. This happened before the group arrived to Sorbithia, but Virgil didn't expose him to the Circle of Twelve.
10:13 Directing Beams
You have to rotate direction pads to guide a laser, but there must be a statue between each pad and the statues have their own set direction. You don't have to pass through every statue, but you must direct the laser towards a goal.
13:28 Virgil's Memory 2
Virgil is unsatisfied by the curriculum of Sorbithia, viewing it as too limiting. When Vaeviticus refuses to let him take the test to become an Adept, leading to Virgil becoming more frustrated.
15:59 Elemental Order
To pass this area, you have to read all the monuments in order of stronger to weaker elements. However, the fire monument to the west is guarded by a boss.
16:32 Boss: Fully Advanced Necronaut
Like the original Necronaut, it can absorb party members.
19:26 Elemental Order 2
20:23 Virgil's Memory 3
Virgil and Zacharael discuss the Circle's laws and limitations on magic, which they view as a folly. They also discuss Khargynoth, who had a similar ideology but originally sided with Greyhem against Validus. Khargynoth was eventually sealed in a prison beyond time and space. Zacharael wants to use the Hourgem to learn the secrets of Khargynoth's magic, and he recruits Virgil to help him in that goal.
22:29 Virgil's Memory 4
Zacharael is angry that Virgil is making little progress on researching the Hourgem of Valnyr, since they won't be able to use it once Maultor comes back and orders them to hand it over. However, he doesn't realize that Virgil already made a ton of progress, but plans to use the Hourgem for himself.
Remember that Shiny Pocketwatch you got from the slave ship? If you still have it, you can start a fight with the final summon, Kronos.
25:21 Boss: Kronos
He will inflict an unblockable doom status on your party, though it's possible to kill party members early to stagger the doom counter. He will also slow you down and speed himself up.
31:01 Virgil's Memory 5
Virgil meets Khargynoth, who shows him a flashback of the Spellbreaker Wars. Khargynoth and Arinax shared the same ideology in making magic unrestricted. To gain a shot at beating the Circle of Twelve, Arinax tells Khargynoth to use the Singularity on him, which Khargynoth reluctantly does.
Next, Virgil attempts to go back in time. He heals his father, but his father still gets killed by Pots. Unfortunately, Virgil can't help more than that in fear of causing a paradox. Khargynoth offers to train him in a place with no time constraints, in exchange for Virgil freeing him. Strangely, Pots arrives in this area beyond time and space soon after Virgil enters the chamber.
38:34 Boss: Khargynoth
He has Singularity, which causes a character to die and become unreviveable. To avoid this, you mustn't attack him with elemental attacks, or he'll counter. He'll also use Singularity if you take damage from his own elemental attacks, but his current element is telegraphed, so equip elemental bangles to negate damage. Finally, he'll use a group Singularity if you take too long to kill him.
44:58 Virgil's Gratitude
After you win and enter the chamber, you'll run into the present Virgil, who states that we inadvertently saved his life by killing Khargynoth. He'll give you the choice of using the Hourgem to save his family or save Laeni. Even if you choose his family, he'll revive Laeni.
