Hello there, gamers of the blockchain!
Moving forward from our reunion with Layton, we feel one of the first beacons pulses of energy coming from the Tear in the Veil. This sends ripples through the entire city and even affects our girls. It seems Briar has some problems controlling her powers. The essence of chaos seems to affect Chimeras more than other beings.
After this episode, we'll ourselves in upper level but still outside the city walls. We have to make our way fighting more enemies and learning about the fields Lute can activate so we can collect some essences that will be needed for upgrades later on.
Some new enemies will appear in our way. In this case, heavy armor soldiers. We'll need to use our heavy attacks to destroy their armor and then finish them off. They are a pain!
Also, this game has a sort of memory echoes reading gimmick. We can recreate the echoes of events that happened in a certain location. In this case, we find ourselves looking at a reconstruction of something that happened in the city. Maybe it was the cause of the Tear in the sky. But for now we just know some soldiers of the Ashen Blade brought a carriage into the city transporting a relic.
Later on, we'll find a new type of enemy called Wraith. These spirits don't have a tangible form so we need to fight them using Lute's Evocation field. This doesn't sound too difficult, but we have to keep in mind Lute builds entropy while using the field. If she builds too much, her form dissipates. And we'll be left alone for a while until she recovers from exhaustion. It is tough fighting without her since we can't stop enemies nor counter their attacks. If we are against Wraiths, we are basically helpless.
Our second reunion with Layton gives us some more insight on the situation. He'll also give us access to the upgrade menu. Here we can use red shards to get new combos for Briar's weapons. But the more interesting upgrades are those from lute. She has some trees of skills that are best suited for different playstyles. We just need to pick up something we want to focus on.
In my case, I went for trickery which is the branch that specializes in support. That way, we have more counters and can reduce the time frame between special actions and other tricks. A very helpful thing!
Our last steps on this portion of the game is completing a puzzle of a bridge in order to move forward
