“Blood for blood. That which is taken shall be returned.”
Leap into the story of ruin a dead king has brought. Will you aid the herald? Who is the lady in the forest? Where are the jester’s pants? The retort from your war hammer will answer.
-
Keeper of this unremembered refuge, a blood debt incurred long ago is to be collected by Kerr, Breaker of Worlds. Summoned from humanity’s desperation, you are all that stands between Cadmeia and its annihilation. Find and seize the blood memories of old, lest those that intend suffering and harm unending should wield them.
-
Quick tips:
· Mat farming is necessary. Try to remember enemy drops.
· In tough situations grab what you need and warp out.
· Chime pieces may reveal a hint at boss vulnerability.
· Be deliberate and measure your attacks. This is not your high-speed hack 'n slash, and button mashing will get you killed.
· Find a weapon type and weapon move set that is best for you.
· Learn how to parry and counter attack. This will give you an advantage.
