Book 3: The End of Magic: Sunfall: Part 2

Hey there, heroes!

The Swordhaven Rift finale is here! The Greenguard Alliance's efforts are pinned on you and your dragon. As the massive Tytan over Swordhaven threatens to break through Jaania's barrier, you've been sent on a mission that only you, the hero can accomplish. Now, you've made it on top of the Tytan with only one goal: to either force it back through the rift, or stop its onslaught.



Completing this week's quest will allow you to use the resources earned during this quest arc to create a faction specific helm that is upgraded with Proclamation Medals.

Will you and your dragon be able to save Swordhaven and beyond? Or will The Greenguard Alliance fall in its first attempt to face the might of the Magesterium Proclamation?

Head over to Queen Victoria in Book 3 Swordhaven, then your Swordhaven faction camp to play this week's release: Sunfall: Part 2!

---

Next week, we have a Reimagined release, but Dove is going to be taking the week off for a very well earned break! But don't worry, we have a full Reimagined release planned. Dracelix will be helping out, and we hope you'll look forward to it!

It loses its "shield" after a few turns. It will eventually reapply it. You just have to hang in there.

I think Verlyrus is doing an absolutely brilliant job at bringing some more complexity to the game without raising the difficulty.

quote:

Is this difficulty though? Or is it just trying to work out the solution to a puzzle though clicking on the boss' stats?

quote:

Personally if every fight was as simple as "mash buttons until HP = 0" I think that would be a waste of the huge variety of items and classes we have at our disposal.

quote:

I agree with this, which is why I am trying to introduce more complexity into the battles. However, it's still a learning process. For this sort of thing in particular, clarity of mechanics should be much better to prevent the frustration of feeling unable to do anything.

quote:

My main gripe isn't that there are puzzley elements in bosses, but that the game in general is never clear that there are puzzle elements in those boss battles. That includes the applicable Inn bosses as well.

spoiler:

the boss projectile-vomited itself backwards into the rift.

spoiler:

That flying eye, he belongs to Warlic right? Jim the Eye? I don't remember the last time we saw him. I can't even begin to speculate what that will lead to.

I really liked the Tytan's speech bubbles, I don't think we've seen anything quite like it before, at least as far as I can remember. I'm fairly certain it resembles creatures from the Exaltia Tower beings, but I'm not very familiar with the lore surrounding them. If I recall correctly, they were pretty ancient, so perhaps the unique speech bubble is there to convey how ancient this being of Light truly is.

Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. You probably don't want your leaders in the middle of a battlefield where than can die and make the situation worse. Even if they're good in a fight. I hope for Victoria's sake she won't have to wear the crown for too long.

Jaania looks like she's either lost it or is about as close as you can be before you snap completely. It might be time to stop looking in that mirror. I'm very much starting to believe it's a cursed object that is designed only to drive people to madness.

spoiler:

It seems DF is joining in the Doomwood party both AQW and AQ3D are into it seems. Also that flying eyeball doesn't scream good. Can't wait for wait Kara and Jaania are up to.

spoiler:

40 SH Medals and Helm Template spent for a snazzy looking helm. The helm's visor is see through as well

spoiler:

Where do I begin? The Tytan! I recognised that rune within the orb, it's the same rune Ezrajal holds in the Exaltia Tower. I suppose this means the Exalted also enslaved elemental beasts to fight on their side, possibly forcing them to destroy others of their own kind. Yikes!

And yes, that certainly was Jimmy the Eye, last seen being used to spy on Akanthus. I... can't even begin to imagine what must be going through poor Warlic's head!

But hey only ...three more to go! I suppose that the Deadlands Rift is more remote and of less concern than the other two. Willowshire is properly abandoned now, and Battleon's had it's fair share of war. Still, I do still hope we get to check in on Yulgar. It would be a shame to lose another Guardian Tower too.

Not gonna lie, I was expecting an Alteon reveal, but I suppose this quest already has enough going for it. Guess we still have that to look forward too!

spoiler:

That scene with Kara and Jaania, though. The Frozen parallels really made me lol.

spoiler:

I really love the fact that the Sunwhale Tytan, despite being one dimensional, has its own personality through our dragon's dialogue with it (assuming that you have a DA) and its sun themed speech bubbles and that it has links to the Exalted through the color scheme of the sun orb.

Sounds like Warlic, through Jimmy the Eye, is finally knowing that Sepulchure and Amadeus are one and the same! Speaking of which, Akanthus lies once again as he wounded Sepulchure, causing him to escape.

The discussion with the other rifts makes me really excited as we are going to Doomwood next and that we are facing Earth themed monsters in the future once we try to close the Northlands rift.

Also, poor Jaania. I wonder how she will react since her mind is broken through the mirror at this point.

spoiler:

Come to think of it, why could our dragon understand the Tytan, when we could not? It's obviously not speaking Draconic, as players with Dragon Amulets can understand that. I wonder if there is some significance there.

spoiler:

My personal theory is that it's because the Hero's Dragon is one of the only "Exalted" dragons left in existence. My theory is based on the Inevitable Equilibrium Inn Challenges as well as some MechQuest lore.

Some have speculated that Drahr'Hatir and Drahr'Dolass (the two ancient dragons we battle in the Inevitable Equilibrium challenge) are the same species as Fluffy and the Hero's dragon (or possibly even their parents). Also the imagery and iconography of the Inevitable Equilibrium challenge seems to suggest a connection to the Exaltia Tower/Realm of the Exalted, the same realm the Magesterium Proclamation rifts have been speculated to lead to. One of the Exalted Warbeasts encountered in the Exaltia Tower also bear a resemblance to the Sandsea Tytan. Given this connection it's possible that the Hero's dragon can understand the Tytan because the come from the same place of origin.


Also it's stated in MechQuest lore that the original dragons (from which the 2 eggs of the White and Black Dragon Boxes came from) were this super-advanced race with a super-advanced civilization which spanned the stars, similar to another ancient, super-advanced race; the Exalted (which seems to be a catch all term for both Celestials and Infernals).

quote:

I want to point out that Inn bosses (who are suppose to be harder than this boss) usually have clues to how their mechanics work as pop ups. Uthuluc, Roktoru, Illumina all have pop ups so you know something is up.

People are also more likely expecting mechanics to figure out in explicitly laid out challenge area
