Description:
The world of Ariathale attempted to use a new power source, Atlas, to overcome their energy crisis, but this resource ran out just like all the others. As a result, society regressed into feudalism and the world ended up under the control of a few major countries. However, a scientist discovered a new source of energy, so hopefully things will be better from now on? Nah.

=======================================================
0:00 Halderos Upper Levels
You can find the living quarters, where you can visit Ferion's old friend, Allister, to learn more about the situation. You'll get the Gamma Key needed to continue upwards.
Eventually, you'll find Demiya with her giant tank. She lost a lot of soldiers and resources to the Halderos security system, but she insists on fighting to the bitter end.
13:56 Boss: Vermillion Bulwark 01
The boss seems easy to damage at first, but eventually, the tank will go into a defensive state. I have no idea what the optimal strategy here is other than spamming EX skills.
19:18 End of the Wyrms, For Real
After the battle, the party points out that Demiya's plan to infect the garden with Orihalcon would only benefit the Halderos citizens, since only they have enough immunity to survive the side effects, while the rest of the world would be screwed. Demiya realizes that she always abandoned one cause for another and in the end, couldn't protect anyone, so she doesn't bother escaping the exploding tank.
23:07 Virtual World & HA.DE.S Throne
In this world, you can use raw code to strengthen or weaken the enemies, which affects EXP. You need to find and beat all the orb miniboss enemies.
At the main terminal, the party will shut down HA.DE.S and take the catalyth. However, Horus shows up and challenges Seth to a duel.
34:34 Boss: Seth vs Horus
36:23 Path to Atlante's Garden
Nadia sprained her ankle, so we get a cutscene of Martia carrying Nadia and talking about Martia's romance with Seth. Fortunately, Gallian finds a first aid kit.
The monsters here are strong, but the terminals will list their weaknesses.
Eventually, you will catch up with Iseldra, who still thinks we're evil and sics the Zalh series cyborg, Vier, on us.
49:22 Boss: Vier
The boss counts as a golem, so spam anti-tank.
54:25 Finding the Anti-Atlas
Vier has plot armor and can only be defeated by using Anti-Atlas. Unfortunately, Vier knocks Gallian down into a dark map with the paths are invisible. Vier's mask also breaks to reveal Alison's face.
For this minigame, you must find the Anti-Atlas, but it's scripted so that the first three points you find are always duds. You'll probably have only one hit left before you find the last one.
While the Anti-Atlas stops Vier's rampage, it also results in Alison dying again.
Lademis shows up and stands next to the party in order to show Iseldra that they're telling the truth.
1:01:14 Bait and Switch
Mishra kills Horus to prevent the latter from ever being a thorn in his side, and then reveals that the catalyth they found at HA.DE.S is a fake. The real one is carried by Nimrod, who was manipulated into believing that using it at Atlante's Garden will save Halderos. Nimrod also has a part of Neval's soul to allow him to use the catalyth.
Back in Atlante's Garden, Nimrod places the catalyth. He reveals that he was once Jeantheore Merzen, the original leader of Halderos who signed the treaty. However, he regretted it because of his people living in poverty, so he adopted a new identity as Lighthouse Guardian leader to find a way to undo the treaty. However, he's shocked when he learns that Mishra was manipulating him all along.
1:08:01 Altilliah
Mishra returns to King Coeus to inform him of the mission's success. He acts like he's regretful of killing the other apostles, but this seems insincere considering the lengths he went to get revenge on their children.
1:09:24 Albatros
Horus regrets blindly following his orders and tells Seth that he's the only Vanguard who can stop Mishra's plans. Nimrod reveals that Halderos has a spaceship, the Albatros. Also, the moon landing on Oberon/Altilliah was faked.
