Chapter 5 is the most combat-intensive chapter so far. It begins with a diplomatic disaster at Hernand Castle that unleashes the game's hardest early boss — Kailok the Hornsplitter. After surviving, Kliff investigates a mysterious Crow Summoner, explores the treacherous Ascension Tower filled with puzzles, and faces off against the Summoner in a final boss battle.
