Basic Plot
The undead are rising up and have gone to war with the living. It's up to Lethal and his companions to travel the regions and face many foes along the way in his journey to stop the undead.

Synopsis
The game starts with Lokian knights facing off against the undead in Noble Woods. Lethal arrives and kills a skeleton that had attacked a Lokian knight. The knight is relieved to see Lethal, as the Lokian army was being overrun by the powerful skeleton horde. The two briefly discuss the situation, mentioning how the Noble Woods is the last line of defense for the Lokian capital, before Lethal faces a group of skeletons.

After the skeletons, Lethal and the Lokian knight both agree that the skeleton army will soon regroup and launch a much bigger attack. With not much left to do in the field, Lethal, Tanya, and Allister head to the Lokian capital to discus a course of action with King Edgar III. King Edgar III thanks Lethal for his assistance and explains that skeletal forces had captured all the Lokian strongholds that are scattered throughout the kingdom in each region. While King Edgar III discusses plans with the council, he sends Lethal to clear out various skeleton camps located throughout the Noble Woods.

After returning to King Edgar III with news of the undead camps removal, Lethal points out how the undead being able to penetrate the Noble Woods highly fortified defenses makes no sense. King Edgar III believes the undead may have had help. Especially considering all the men and monsters that have become allies of the undead army. In this case, King Edgar III believes the success of the undead invasion is do to a bandit leader by the name of Darktooth. After speculating that Darktooth may be a former knight, Lethal and his party head for Maren Town to speak with Grand Master Harold, a man that coordinates all the knight operations of Lokia. Harold greets Lethal with hostility initially but softens once Tanya mentions that Lethal and his party are searching for the bandit leader Darktooth, who may have been a former knight. Harold believes the bandit may be a former knight named Jeremiah Williams, who vanished a year prior before he could be imprisoned for refusing to follow orders. After their discussion with Harold, Lethal and his party speak with the Maren Town watchmen for leads. One watchmen, who was a childhood friend of Jeremiah, tell the party that Jeremiah used to enjoy exploring Abruma Cave as a child. With no other lead, Lethal and his party head for Abruma Cave.

Upon arrival at Abruma Cave, the party is greeted by a disheveled stranger who questions the party's presence in the cave. Lethal states that he's searching for the bandit leader Darktooth. Allister tells the stranger that it'd be in his best interest to tell the party why he's in Abruma Cave where Darktooth is hiding. The stranger tells the party that he hadn't seen any bandits in the cave and that he was the only one there. Tanya doesn't believe the stranger is the bandit leader do to his disheveled appearance. Lethal questions the stranger briefly and figures out his real identity is Jeremiah Williams. Jeremiah pleads with the party not to turn him in, as he had committed no crime. Lethal questions Jeremiah further and it comes to light that a bandit named Smud Jackson had been paying Grand Master Harold to ignore his black market dealings in Frozen Fridge. After discovering the bribes through a message he intercepted from Smud Jackson, Jeremiah confronted Harold. In order to protect his secret, Harold made up a story about Jeremiah refusing orders. Out of fear of imprisonment or even death, Jeremiah fled Maren Town and hid in Abruma Cave.

Lethal decides to return to Maren Town again to confront Grand Master Harold. When Lethal's party arrive at Harold's quarters they find a note attached to the door that reads "Grand Master Harold is out on official business." Immediately after, Lethal is approached by town watchmen with news that they had discovered the bandit Darktooth has been hiding in Umbra Cave.

After entering the cave, Lethal and his party are greeted by Darktooth and two other bandits. Lethal's party urge Darktooth to tell the party what he knows about Noble Woods' defenses and why he knows as much as he does. Darktooth is ultimately confused by the party's questioning but disregards it and a battle begins. After the battle Darktooth compliments Lethal's fighting capability and urges the party that if they're going to kill him to just get it over with. The party tries once more to interrogate Darktooth but he insist he doesn't know what the group is talking about. Tanya believes Darktooth is speaking honestly since Harold's men found Darktooth at a very convenient time for his disappearance. Lethal ask Darktooth if he ever had any dealings with Grand Master Harold. It is revealed in this interaction that Grand Master Harold was allied with the undead army all along. Lethal and his group take Darktooth to Maren Town to be tried for his crimes and set search for Harold.

Gameplay Tips & Advice

 * At the beginning of the game ignore upgrading Allister's equipment. Allister unlocks new armor after the Noble Woods boss and unlocks a new sword after the Hollow Desert boss. Instead, use the materials you would've spent on Allister (cotton and iron) to upgrade Tanya and Lethal's equipment.


 * Spend any spare coins you can on potions/cures before fighting a powerful boss. This reduces the amount of coins lost after a defeat as well as ensuring you have enough potions.


 * Before travelling to Frozen Fridge take a trip to Hollow Desert. The enemies are easier and don't cause a freeze effect. Plus, one of the side quest offers the Desert Snake pet, which deals extra damage to ice based enemies.


 * After unlocking the water bow for Tanya and the Frozen Rush ability for Lethal, grind enemies in Volcanic zone. The enemies are weak to ice and water based attacks which makes them easier for grinding. If you do all the side quest in Frozen Fridge you'll unlock the Dire Wolf Pup, making it much easier to take out fire enemies.


 * Killing The Volcanic Zone boss allows you to unlock Dragon Armor (for Lethal) and Crimson Raiment (for Tanya). These two pieces of armor provide the characters resistance to fire damage and makes it much easier to grind in Volcanic Zone.
