Defeat Scenarios

Hints

There are no manual saves. Regular auto-saves ensure you will need to accept the consequences of your decisions. There are no traditional game over situations, either. Instead, being defeated leads to a Defeat Scenario—a scenario where you will regain consciousness in a certain situation, which can range from being helped by a friendly NPC to being captured by enemy NPCs.

However, if you are playing in Hardcore Mode, there is a 20% chance that your defeat will result in a permanent death rather than a defeat scenario.

Legacy Chests / Legacy Upgrades

Hints

When you create a new character, you can select “Legacy” on the character creation screen to inherit items from a previous character. To set up a Legacy, the first character must deposit items into the Legacy Chests located in the game. There are four Legacy Chests:

  • Inside a locked area in the Cierzo Storage
  • Inside the Vigil Pylon in Enmerkar Forest
  • Inside the Slide in Abrassar
  • Inside the Spire of Light in the Hallowed Marsh

Each can hold one item, allowing the second character to inherit up to four Legacy items. The new character must travel to each chest to get the item from inside of it. Removing the items won’t remove them from the first character’s game, and the first character making changes won’t remove them from the Legacy character’s game either.

Certain items will be upgraded when obtained through a Legacy, giving an advantage to using the Legacy Chests:
