Previously, we began exploring Episode Ardyn. Verstael freed Ardyn from a long imprisonment in Angelgard and brought him to the Magitek Research Facility. Now, Ardyn will continue exploring the facility.

After resuming in Verstael's lab, Ardyn checks out the Angelgard display to continue the story. Afterwards, Ardyn must follow Verstael again. Verstael will talk about the diorama of Eos.

Then, Verstael leads Ardyn downstairs. It seems Ardyn is not the only catch Verstael has made.

Afterwards, Verstael leads Ardyn down to the bottom level. A group of Lucian soldiers attacks. Ardyn must defeat the Royal Guards. This is a good opportunity to learn how to daemonify enemies, which fills up the phantasm bar. Afterwards, Ardyn learns how to unleash Royal Retribution, which uses the phantasm bar to blast the enemy with attacks.

Next, Ifrit blows in to attack. After some fighting, more scenes take place. Ardyn's journey to the dark side is complete. Some more scenes take place.

Then, Chapter 3: A Fiery Vengeance begins. After some more scenes, we gain control of Ardyn in the Insomnia City Center. With Ifrit as a party member, Ardyn must take out some Crownsguards. The tech Firaga commands Ifrit to cast Firaga against the enemy--very useful.

After the battle, Verstael tasks Ardyn with disabling one of the city's Wall Amplifiers. There are seven in total. Along the way, there are plenty of guards to take out.

Ardyn first goes to the Sector A Wall Amplifier in the northeast. After he destroys the four Manafonts around the amplifier, a The Fierce Guardian comes to life. Ardyn must defeat this tough guardian to disable the amplifier. Afterwards, Ardyn overtakes Sector A. This weakens guards in Sector A, and the treasures in the area are marked on the map. Verstael instructs Ardyn to take out another amplifier.

Also, daemonifying enemies earns Ardyn AP. He can spend AP under Descension to acquire some power-ups. This is like a proper RPG!

Ardyn gathers the treasures around Sector A of Insomnia. The treasures can be sold at vending machines for Yen, which can be used to purchase consumables.

Then, Ardyn goes to the Sector B Wall Amplifier. Guards will appear to defeat him as he takes out the Manafonts. When all the Manafonts are destroyed, a The Rogue Guardian comes to life. Once the guardian is defeated, Ardyn overtakes Sector B. Ardyn must continue to take out amplifiers.

Ardyn gathers the treasures in Sector B before moving on.

Finally, Ardyn rests at the Insomnia City Center "campground" in Insomnia. Next time, he will continue taking down Wall Amplifiers and causing mayhem in downtown Insomnia.

Thanks for watching!
