The tale of brave badger Willowguard continues as the party sets out for Regnum Polis, racing to prevent another monstrous breakthrough before the next Solstice. The journey from Woikos leads through the frozen Atalaka Mountains, now rendered impassable by an unnatural winter brought on by Louksna. The only safe passage lies in the use of ancient portals. Soon, it becomes clear that some of these portals are being disrupted by an unknown entity from Alteros—the realm of monsters. On the far side of one such portal, Ghweros glimpses a small, hooded figure deftly fighting and evading the creatures of Alteros before vanishing from sight. The figure turns out to be Súri, a young wolverine orphan who soon becomes your apprentice. Features Companion: Core gameplay from the base game continues - slash, dash, and cast spells your way through increasingly dangerous encounters, now alongside the surprisingly resourceful wolverine cub, Súri. She excels in close combat and is even deadlier with ranged weapons, adding new tactical options to every fight.

Use an innovative clue-and-item gathering system to uncover hidden truths, solve new mysteries, and gradually unravel the deeper story behind the events threatening Woikos.
