Walkthrough/Playthrough/Let's Play
Description:
Adol arrives in the Prison City of Balduq, but is quickly arrested due to the bad blood between him and Romn. When he tries to escape the prison, a woman named Aprilis drafts him to help her fight off the Lemures demons in order to protect Balduq, though he's also going to investigate the mysteries of the city and why the demons appeared in the first place.

0:00 Recap
0:15 Grimwald Nox: Legions of Calamity (Nightmare)
8:08 Grimwald Nox: Eclipsing Evil (Nightmare)
You have to do both of these noxes without Aprilis's support skills.
12:08 Woodlands of Woe
You'll need to use Third Eye here so that the treant enemies don't catch you off-guard.
13:51 Inscription Inspection
Yes, this quest is locked behind a 200 Nox area.
20:13 Ciel Canyon Trail
There are Sol Spar spawn points here and there. I wish they put a bunch of them in the discovery point though.
22:05 Hidden Research Wing
22:42 Balduq
Make sure to have Tito craft the Ares Seal. I feel like future boss battles are balanced around it.
23:21 Hidden Research Wing P2
You'll free Belger, Felix, Carla, and Xavier from their cells.
Chatelard reveals that everyone except for Anemona is a homunculus clone. Crimson King is a clone of Adol while White Cat, Hawk, Raging Bull, and Renegade are all clones of the heroes of the Hundred Years' War. He wants them to join his revolution against Romn, and when they refuse, he decides to kill them and create more compliant clones.
Chatelard transforms into a big demon, most likely to make it slightly easier to read his moves.
50:20 Boss: Chatelard (Nightmare)
His downthrust is the easiest one to abuse for flash chains, but he's really fast. If he guards, you can use Valkyrie Hammer to stagger him for a few seconds.
54:14 Hidden Research Wing P3
Chatelard starts fading away because he's actually a homunculus. The real Chatelard died in the war.
Vesta the custodian appears and reveals he's the alchemist behind everything. He needed Chatelard to capture Adol so that he can complete his Magnum Opus, which will supposedly mean that the Monstrums won't have to fight the Grimwald Nox, but he disappears without elaborating further.
When you try to leave, the Crimson King starts dying, since he was created as an adult and therefore is less stable. Aprilis/Rosvita in her new body and Smirnov appear and propose fusing the Crimson King with Adol. This will result in one last conversation between the two and their inventories will combine.
Anemona was created by Zola in order to come up with a way to recreate Rosvita's soul, since her original body was burnt at stake.
The Victory Day Festival is coming up, but this will increase the intensity of the Nox.
