=======================================================
I really regret doing Validus too early, since I permanently missed the chance to fight the stronger version of Blackheart. Well, the true final boss will probably be harder than him anyways, so it's not too big of a loss.
As for this section of the game, I feel this is what Eternal Twilight should have done with characterizing its evil empire.
0:00 Occupying Zacharael's Sanctum
While Quathorn is working on the barrier at the front door, talk to all your allies in the sanctum. Eventually, Quathorn can be spoken to again, stating that he needs some kind of key item to open the barrier, which you can get from Griswold. When going outside the Sanctum, you can only bring human party members, since Validus is human supremacist.
3:05 Pardoxus - Temple District
Zach's sanctum is located in the same district as a large church, which praises Malviticus. The people around here aren't mustache twirling insane villains, but ordinary people who are fed propaganda. Even with Wein's supposed blood powers, would this really be enough to change their minds after being indoctrinated for so long?
8:57 Anuxis - Agriculture District
Of note here is a well, but you're not allowed to go inside.
12:57 Zondaxos - Military District
15:06 D'Aroxis - Commerce District
If you followed the guide and diligently checked everything, you should be able to turn in 110 Celestium Shards, netting you the Tough Ring. It has bigger stat boosts than the Celestium Ring, but I still prefer the Charm Bracelet.
18:47 Maultor's Speech
At the palace front gate, Maultor will stand at the balcony and give a speech announcing his return. As before, he presents himself as a benevolent dictator and blames the elves for the Blight. He calls on his people to join the military to beat back the world alliance.
As you may have noticed, some citizens are finding the government real sus.
22:43 Crazed Priest
A priest states that he recognizes Wein, which could be bad for us. Why didn't we silence him? Inside the sanctum, we decide that we need to infiltrate their military school in order to become officers, and then use our position to get closer to Maultor. Wein and Hiro attend as NPCs.
27:05 Cadet Training
We enlist, but the training program involves the recruit killing each other to prove their worthiness. This seems stupid, since you'd think they'd have the weaker recruits handle non-combat tasks and logistics instead. One of the surviving cadets, Dickon Chauser, seems to form a friendly rivalry with Wein.
At one point, you will have to answer a pop quiz about Validian propaganda, so make sure you read all the books in the schoolhouse. Disturbingly, the teacher shouts a slogan from "V for Vendetta" that was used by fascists, just to drive home what the Validian Empire represents.
40:57 Mock Army Battle
Wein and the chosen party must face off against Dickon in a maze, and you have to prevent the enemy cadets from reaching Wein. This is a lot like the squad battles in FF6, complete with a guy running back and forth in front of the commander.
42:32 Boss: Dickon Chauser
Hopefully, you brought Furi so she can nuke them with AOE space magic.
45:35 Next Step
Our generals state that though it's unfortunate that the citizens and cadets are indoctrinated, we're here to kill the emperor, not liberate them. We need to get into the sewer somehow, and maybe rising in the ranks will give us the authority to do so.
