Angels from Antiquity is a 2-2 rank mission.
Overview
Description:
Rhendon is waiting for you in an area of the Clockworks called the Restless Railroad where reconnaissance has located a cache of missing battle sprites. Secure the sprites and clear the area of hostiles. You are authorized to use any sprites you secure in order to complete the mission.
Objective:
Secure a cache of battle sprites and return them to the Lab.
Notes
This mission features the Seraphynx battle sprite.
A Tier 2 level 15 Seraphynx will temporarily accompany the player. This sprite replaces the player's current sprite. Not to worry, this has no lasting effects on any sprites the player might own already - feel free to replay this mission.
Assuming the player has not crafted any on their own or sold the sword rewards from preceding missions, receiving the Super Slime Slasher reward for completing this mission will be the fifth sword the player has in their arsenal, thus granting the Expert Swordsman Achievement.
History
Runthrough
First Floor
Second Floor
Level: Restless Railroad Depth: 1
|
|
- This floor is reminiscent of Moorcroft Manor.
- Rhendon accompanies the player for the first part of the level.
- A Tier 2 level 15 Seraphynx accompanies the player after the sprites are found.
|
Notes
Goal: Find the missing sprites and get to the elevator.
When the first party button is pressed:
|
How about this place, huh? Looks like some kind of old rail station overrun with restless spirits. What an odd place to find underground.
Anyway, we better head to the cache of sprites fast given what we found back in the Sunset Steppes. Let's go!
|
|
When the second party button is pressed:
|
First dragons and now... little winged feline creatures? I can't believe we're seeing this phenomenon again!
|
|
|
Wow, PLAYERNAME, you seem to have a way with battle sprites! Let's not waste any time. Clear the path ahead so a rescue team can get through safely!
|
|
If spoken to:
|
Uh, I think these sprites are studying these old books. I didn't even know they could read!
Anyway, I'll stay here and protect these sprites. I see more empty transport crates; not good. You go on ahead and clear the area of hostiles so that a rescue squad can arrive safely.

|
- I'm on it! (Ends conversation)

This rail station is reminiscent of Moorcroft Manor.
A spooky spectral railroad.

Third Floor
Level: End of the Line Depth: 2
|
|
- - moved to better umbrella name (so "area" vs. "level" isn't as confusing).
- A Tier 2 level 15 Seraphynx accompanies the player. It can be unequipped at the arsenal station if desired.
- There are several fire traps to be wary of.

Notes
Goal: Get to the elevator.

Nearly to the End of the Line.
More worrisome empty crates.

Fourth Floor
Level: The Lab Depth: ??? (assume surface)
|
There is no combat here.
|
The Lab as it appears according to the player's progression through rank missions.

Notes
Goal: Talk to Morlin about what was found in the Restless Railroad.
This dialogue occurs if Morlin is spoken to at the end of 2-2 Mission: Angels from Antiquity. If The Lab is entered from the Haven Garrison and the next rank missions are incomplete, the dialogue remains available:
|
Once again these sprites seem to have adapted their form to suit their surrounding environment.
|
|
- What have they become this time?
|
It's unclear, PLAYERNAME. Given Rhendon's report, I'd say they learned something from the old arcane tomes you discovered near these sprites. Fascinating that they appear to have adapted their combat abilities because of this.
|
|
- Are you saying these sprites learned magic spells from an old book?
|
Yes, it seems that these sprites have mastered the ability to focus their powers on skills that protect their knight. Given that and their appearance I've dubbed them 'seraphynx.'
|
|
|
Yes I know. Anyway I also understand that some of the transport crates were empty again. Something is not right...
Now then, secure that last cache of sprites before whatever is stealing sprites finds it!
|
|
- I'm on my way. (Ends conversation)

Morlin's sprite station shows up differently for each sprite mission, and there are no wares from Riley yet.
These sprites have been rescued.
