PLOT

Valere and Zale are Solstice Warriors, adventurers who have control over Eclipse Magic. Their power is the only magic able to harm the Dwellers, otherworldly monsters created by a god-like alchemist called the Fleshmancer. During their travels, they are assisted by their childhood friend, a warrior cook named Garl. The trio is joined by an assassin named Seraï, and they attack the Dweller of Woe alongside the other Solstice Warriors: Moraine, Erlina, and Brugaves. After defeating the Dweller, Erlina and Brugaves betray the group and summon a cult serving the Fleshmancer. The acolytes use the monster’s remains to revive the powerful Dweller of Strife.

After reaching safety, Moraine tells Valere and Zale to confront the Dweller at the cult’s stronghold on Mesa Island. To disable the protective shield surrounding Mesa Island, the party journeys to a tower submerged in the ocean. Inside, they discover that the structure is home to an alchemist named Resh’an, who requests that they retrieve his magical hourglass. In-game stories reveal that Resh’an is the Fleshmancer’s rival and former associate, who helped him create the elixir of life.

Although the potion made them immortal, the Fleshmancer gradually became envious of the mortality given to other creatures, causing him to become cynical and misanthropic. After the Fleshmancer created the Dwellers to spread chaos, Resh’an began training the first Solstice Warriors, sparking a conflict between the alchemists spanning countless parallel universes. The conflict continues in each universe until the Dwellers grow into apocalyptic beings called World Eaters, or the Solstice Warriors gain enough power to become guardian gods.

The party retrieves the hourglass, and Resh’an agrees to fight by their side but warns them that he cannot engage the Dweller. The party disables the shield, and Valere, Zale, Garl, and Seraï battle the Dweller of Strife. On the verge of losing, Seraï attacks the Dweller with the hourglass in desperation, and its power attracts the attention of the Fleshmancer. The alchemist dismisses the Dweller, acolytes, and Brugaves to his lair, appoints Erlina as his lieutenant, and mortally wounds Garl before leaving. Resh’an uses his power to temporarily extend Garl’s lifespan, and the warrior-cook spends his remaining time helping the party perform a favor for the powerful sky giants.

After Garl’s death, the giants permit the party to cross between worlds to pursue the Fleshmancer. The party arrives at a technologically advanced planet, which Seraï reveals is her home; She had traveled between worlds to recruit Solstice Warriors who could liberate her people from the Fleshmancer. The party fights through the planet alongside B’st, an ancient spirit given a new body by Resh’an, and they confront the Fleshmancer at his lair.

The alchemist reveals that he has transformed Erlina into a demonic creature named Elysan’darëlle, and orders her to attack. The party defeats Elysan’darëlle and prepares to battle the Fleshmancer, but Resh’an convinces him to accept defeat, and both alchemists depart. Learning that a World Eater is approaching, Valere and Zale gain enough power to become guardian gods, and they leave their friends to protect the universe.

If the player completes a set of specific sidequests, an alternative ending is unlocked. The party locates a device left by Resh’an called the Cronophage, which they use to prevent Garl’s death by traveling to the past. They replace him with B’st, who assumes his form just before he is struck by the Fleshmancer and the transformed B’st impersonates Garl during all the events that follow up to the present to prevent a time paradox.

During the confrontation with the Fleshmancer, Garl provokes him into battling the party instead of Elysan’darëlle, and they force him to retreat. Elysan’darëlle appears in another world, reunited with a transformed Brugaves. Valere and Zale ascend into guardian gods and return once a year to meet Garl on his birthday.
