Part 11: Behind the Waterfall; Road Trip of Suspicion

Yes I know, it's been awhile. But it wasn't because I wasn't playing the game. Because I was. It's just that I was doing a A LOT of sidequests and none of them were worth talking about honestly.

Either way... doing all that got my party to the level 30's. I'm starting to think my party is over-leveled now. Well... better than being under-leveled.

Either way... I did finally move on to the main quest though. As I was doing my sidequests, however, I came across another battle theme.

This one... is dramatic and awesome at the same time. I'd even say it's better than Stand Your Ground.

PERFECTION

Anyway I come across the waterfall in question, and the legend states that something is behind it. So behind I go. What do I find. OF COURSE IT'S ANOTHER DUNGEON. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?

We get a second dungeon theme as well. Somewhat dramatic. This dungeon is pretty much an ice area. Full of... ice. And slides. YAY. ?

Spoiler

I explore the dungeon to obtain the next Royal Arm. I get attacked by Daemons as I do so. But I fight my way through the area until we reach the Royal Arm and obtain it. Easy enough honestly. Probably because I was over leveled.

We head back to Lestallum to report back and Noctis gets more headaches. He should probably get that checked out. He keeps seeing visions too. About... an area of fire? Ignis seems to think it's a place called the Disc of Cauthess and they can view that area at the lookout so they decide to do that.

When they do however...

OH GOD. NOT YOU AGAIN. IT'S THE SUSPICIOUS GUY FROM BEFORE THAT THREW A COIN AT NOCTIS.

He claims this is a coincidence. Yeah right. However... he gives important information about something called the Archean and says he'll take the group to the Disc. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GUY IS THROWING UP SO MANY RED FLAGS.

But... with no other leads... there's pretty much little choice. We learn that the suspicious man's name is Ardyn. The group doesn't think running into this guy is a coincidence. GEE YA THINK?

Either way they suspect he's following him. THIS TIME FOR SURE. STALKER ALERT.

Well... apparently my freedom to explore is about to be restricted. So I'll do the new sidequests that have opened up first before following Mr. Suspicion around some more. Don't worry I'll try to keep them to a minimum this time. Maybe. I'm probably already over-leveled but some extra room for error is always good if you ask me.

Next time:

More sidequest cleanup before my exploration freedom is taken away as we investigate the Disc of Cauthess and this 'Archean'

What will we find? Well... I already looked ahead in my walkthrough.

Here's a hint:
