“Felghana” Continues w/ A Rescue Mission & Deep Delving ^.^
I decided to take a little time away from the main quest here in Ys: The Oath in Felghana by visiting Valestine Castle where we quickly discover that a young boy has gone missing from. The soldier and maid outside say that he was heading towards the Illburns Ruins, and naturally they want our able-bodied swordsman friend Adol to go look for him. It’s basically a “keep the kid alive” kind of quest, but the reward is a nice payoff that increases the drops from enemies. We also meet the Count’s betrothed and gain her trust, but Chester comes and quickly sees us out the door, warning us to stay away.
After all that, it’s back to the Abandoned Mines, where we do some grinding and find a bunch of items along the way. It’s a tough area – I even die on my first attempt to get deep inside – but we manage to get all the way to the boss.
Given the length of this episode, though, I decided to hold off on the boss until Episode 6, but it should definitely be worth waiting for!
For those of you reading this in 2015, I hope you have a fantastic New Year and that 2016 is a great year for all of us!
Happy gaming, and don’t forget to subscribe!
