Nighthunter – Level 1 Donovan: Well met, friend. I hear that you wish to join my Nighthunters. We seek to eliminate Darkovia’s greatest threat, the treacherous Dhows, and to finally make him pay for his ancient betrayal. Donovan: While Cenara would have you fight with mere tools, we embrace the darkest aspects of Darkovia when we fight… we are like hunters in the dark of night. Donovan: My Nighthunters are also my finest troops, sworn to help me solidify my power within Darkovia and finally bring order to this chaotic land. Donovan: To do that, I need to control everything within Darkovia… the vampires, the werewolves, the Shadowslayers… everything! And I expect you to do your part. «Donovan leaves the scene.» NightHunter Donovan has taken an interest in two small bands of vampires and werewolves that are constantly attacking each other and being quite a nuisance. He wants them both eliminated to help secure the land for himself. Which group will you pursue first? Hunt Vampires First!2 BATTLES «After every 2 battles, you will pen down your experiences in journal entries as shown below. You are given a choice to ‘Rest for the Night’, or ‘Continue!’. You are given 3 rests in total for this hunt, and the counter decreases by one every time you choose to ‘Rest for the Night’.» Quest: Night 1 Dear Journal, I have had some success tracking down the rogue Vampires. I will continue my hunt tomorrow; I need to rest to regain my strength. Sleep will not come easy in this place. Everywhere I look I see eyes watching me. 2 BATTLES Quest: Night 2 Dear Journal, it is my second day hunting the rogue vampires. I still cannot shake the unnerving feeling of being watched. Not sure if I am hunting them… or am the hunted myself. 2 BATTLES Quest: Night 3 Dear Journal, it is my third night hunting the vampires in Darkovia. I have finally tracked down the leader of this band… tomorrow, he dies. 1 BATTLE Now that you’ve beaten the vampires, you need to clear out the other camp and put an end to this threat! - Finish off the werewolves!
The dialogue continues as if you chose to hunt the werewolves first. Hunt Werewolves First!2 BATTLES «Same as above, you will go through 2 battles, then pen down your experiences in journal entries and will be given the choice to rest or continue without resting. You are however, only given 2 rests for the werewolf hunt compared to 3 in the vampire hunt.» Quest: Night 1 Dear Journal, the rogue lycans are proving elusive, though I can hear their howls all around me. Still, I think I am close to finding their den. 2 BATTLES Quest: Night 2 Dear Journal, I have found the rogue lycans’ den. Tomorrow, I will slay their leader, and their attacks will cease. 1 BATTLE Now that you’ve beaten the werewolves, you need to clear our the other camp and put an end to this threat! - Finish off the vampires!

The rogues will trouble us no more, and the land is ripe for the taking. Donovan: I think you’ve earned the right to call yourself a Nighthunter. Donovan: I’ll teach you a technique to increase your power against vampires, werewolves, or any of the other riffraff, in case they should trouble you again in the future. Congratulations!

Nighthunter – Level 10 Donovan: We’ve found him! The scheming trickster thought he was hidden from us, but we know now where he hides! Donovan: He is well-guarded, however, so with our numbers still small, I bregrudgingly have asked for Cenara’s Shadowslayers to lend us a hand. Donovan: But the moment Dhows is dead, crush Cenara’s Shadowslayers. We’ll kill two birds with one stone. «Donovan leaves the scene.» The Shadowslayers and Nighthunters join forces, marching their small army to the edges of the Darkovian ruins… Join the Hunt! – Continues dialogue below Leave Darkovia! – You return to Donovan «The scene shows a crumbling ruin standing among the forests of Darkovia. You, Cenara and Donovan enter the scene on a hill nearby, ready to launch the assault.» Cenara: All forces, ATTACK! «A short cutscene shows a group of Shadowslayers and Nighthunters charging towards the Dhows’ fortress, destroying all Darkovian monsters that stand in the way.» Shadowslayer: We’re pushing them back! Victory will be ours! Nighthunter: Wait, what are THOSE? «Dhows’ shadow mobs (a dragon and ghoul) enter the scene. The dragon exhales a choking black smoke that blinds the Shadowslayer. Nighthunters fade themselves into the background to avoid the worst of the fumes.» Shadowslayer: My eyes! The shields do nothing! «The Shadowslayer falls and the scene switches back to you, Cenara and Donovan atop the hill.» «You»: Shadow creatures?! What are they doing here? Cenara: What-- what are they? They’re nothing like the things Dhows created here! «You»: Whatever infection originally created the lycans, they’re part of Lore. These creatures are from the shadow universe… «You»: They may not share the same weaknesses to blessings or silver that the native Darkovians do. Dhows must have summoned them here. Donovan: And the auras of my Nighthunters? «You»: They must just be alternate ways to target those weaknesses. Without that flaw in their defense… Donovan: …I see. Well then. It seems you’ve fought these creatures before. Do you have any suggestions? «You»: They die just like anything else. «Cenara and Donovan transform into GraceFang and NightReign respectively.» Cenara: I think we can help with that. Continue with Nightreign! – Nightreign will now battle by your side! Continue with Gracefang! – Gracefang will now battle by your side!

If we take it out… «An Eclipse Dragon enters the scene, with dark shadows enveloping its body.» «You»: Figures he’d keep it guarded.1 BATTLE Eclipse Dragon Full Heal «A short cutscene shows silhouettes of Gracefang and Nightreign going all out on the crystal, shattering it to pieces. They transform back to their human form.» Cenara: No Dhows… just his guard dog. Donovan: And if we did encounter him, sister? What then? Would you brandish your silver? Cast your magic missiles into the darkness? Cenara: It would have been more effective than growling and pretending to be a dragon. Donovan: I will have you know that-- No. You know what? It matters not. This day is done, and I have other plans, for you, for Darkovia… and for Dhows. Until we next meet… sister. Cenara: I look forward to ruining every one of those plans, brother. «All 3 of you leave Dhows’ fortress.» Congratulations! You’ve become a Level 10 Nighthunter, and you’ve learned a new ability: Embrace Shadow! Become one with the shadows – strike swiftly and without mercy!
