Story

Summoned by Sahario, the player returns to the investigation team and receives a request from Comodo's village chief, Tausp, to find the children who have gone missing from the village. Testimony from a child who was kidnapped by an unidentified group and managed to escape reveals that not only the children of Comodo, but also the children of the Utan tribe, have been kidnapped.

After visiting Umbala, where the Utan tribe lives, the player obtains a new clue that the children were kidnapped and taken southeast.

Following the kidnappers' trail, the player arrives at the western area of Fortress City Saint Darmain.

There, the player meets Loki of the Assassin Guild, who had also been tracking the child kidnapping case, and the two part ways.

While searching the fortress, the player overhears the Lord of Morroc giving orders to his subordinates to carry out a ritual to resurrect the Demon King Morroc using the children's blood.

The player and Shigrun decide to defeat the Lord of Morroc in order to stop the resurrection ritual.

After being attacked by the two, the Lord of Morroc reveals his true demonic form; once he is defeated, Loki's group appears.

While the player was fighting the Lord of Morroc, they had found the imprisoned children and discovered a damaged letter that could reveal who was behind the demons.

Loki entrusts the clue to the player and leaves first, saying he will take the children back to the village.

The player and Shigrun return to Prontera to report what they have learned to Sahario.

Sahario tells them to deliver the damaged letter to Field Marshal Spiegel.

After delivering the letter and returning, they hear new information that a missing person has appeared in Al De Baran.

The player helps the investigation team member in Al De Baran and succeeds in capturing the missing persons, including Jaycee.

Lucian reveals that among them, Malik's mind has been corrupted. Following Lucian's advice, the player goes to the Prontera Cathedral to request help in purifying Malik.

When the player asks Priest Vamp to recommend a priest specialized in purification magic, he suggests meeting Priest Britia. Having returned to the investigation team with Britia, the player's group meets the Queen again. From her, they learn the unexpected fact that the sender of the letter Loki found was Tristan III, King of the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom. While speaking with the Queen, a report comes in that an unidentified group has appeared near the Al De Baran border checkpoint and that the checkpoint has been attacked. The player sets off for Al De Baran again to deal with the sudden attack.

Upon arriving at the checkpoint, the player's group comes face to face with the missing Magician Xavier. Although they manage to stop Xavier's merciless attacks, Heiress suddenly appears and disappears together with him.

The player returns to the investigation team with the captured missing persons. Based on testimony that the missing persons appeared from beyond the border, Sahario becomes convinced that this string of disappearances is connected to the Schwarzwald Republic.

They also learn that Ymir's Heart happens to be located in the Schwarzwald Republic, so they decide to search for clues about Shigrun's sealed power at the same time.

Lucian and Britia join their journey to help the two of them.

Before departing for the Schwarzwald Republic, the Queen asks the player to keep watch on the King, while Tristan III gives the player a mission to retrieve confidential documents from Rekenber, saying that the necklace disappearance case is connected to the Rekenber corporation.

In Yuno, the capital of the Schwarzwald Republic, disappearances are not occurring on a large scale as they are in the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom, but upon investigating circumstances suggesting there are two missing persons, they discover that both were carrying business cards bearing the name Rekenber. The group splits into two teams, one heading to Rekenber Headquarters and the other to the location written on the business card.

At Rekenber Headquarters, they meet Airbury, a spy planted by Tristan III, and learn that the confidential documents are in the chairman's office. There they secure confidential documents detailing the full story behind the necklace disappearance case, and after finding documents about the location of Ymir's Heart in a restricted area, they determine that the heart is located at the Rekenber Research Lab.

Meanwhile, in the slums, they learn that people who handed out business cards to debt-ridden citizens promised to pay off their debts and even give them money.

Based on the information obtained from the Rekenber corporation, they head to the Rekenber Research Lab to find Ymir's Heart.

Having found Ymir's Heart at the Rekenber Research Lab, the player comes face to face with Tristan III, who is attempting to steal the fragment of Ymir's Heart.

While stopping Tristan III's actions, they discover that his true identity is a demon.

They also uncover the fact that the real Tristan III had already died during the period he was reported missing, and that the demon posing as Tristan III desired to seize control of the Midgard continent and rule over it as he pleased.

After protecting Ymir's Heart from Tristan III and absorbing its power, Shigrun partially regains her strength, and Shigrun and the player meet Skuld, one of the Three Goddesses, who advises them to go to Odin's Temple if they wish to open the gate to Asgard.

Following Skuld's advice, the player arrives at Odin's Temple, where they hear an unidentified voice.

The voice, claiming to be Odin, tells them that if they overcome all the trials it presents, it will reveal the way to Asgard.

The player decides to help Shigrun take on Odin's trials.

After overcoming all the trials, they are given the opportunity to speak with Odin's spirit.

Through this conversation, they learn that the player is a descendant of Heimdall and is capable of opening the gate to Asgard.

At Shigrun's request, the player uses her necklace to open the gate to Asgard.
