16. The Gittish Empire, Gittingham Palace and the Oubliette

Arrival in the Gittish Empire

  1. Talk to Stella and Sterling, then to Sterling in the train: the Gittish Empire is open.
  2. Good time for quests, advanced vocations and the ultimate key chests (and Dourbridge's secret shop): the end is near.
  3. Zoom to the Gortress and head east: you enter The Gittish Empire.

King Godwyn defeated (Gittingham Palace)

  1. Approach Gittingham Palace: the barrier lifts. At the entrance, Hootingham-Gore and two Bad karmour are waiting (take out the two armours first).
  2. The palace is long (on level 2 north, a bookshelf offers the Sage quest, 115Sages in the Pages). At the top of the outdoor part, defeat Goresby-Purrvis.
  3. Go through the door: Aquila takes on King Godwyn, in vain. Climb the stairs and talk to King Godwyn (two forms).

At the heart of Gittingham Palace, your hero came across his former teacher, Aquila, and watched as he tried, and unfortunately failed, to take down the Empire's leader, King Godwyn. Aquila had only pretended to betray your hero, and used fake fyggs to get close to the King.

Your hero has managed to defeat King Godwyn of the House of Gitt, the leader of the Gittish Empire. With his dying breath, Aquila told your hero that there are still Celestrians held captive somewhere within the palace.

Celestrians brought back to the Observatory (after Gittingham)

  1. Before dying, Aquila says Celestrians are still held prisoner. Go back to level 2: the sealed door opens onto the Oubliette.
  2. On B6, Corvus is chained in the central room: free him. The fight can't be won; a long scene, then back to the Observatory with the Celestrians.
Battle: Corvus 9,999 HP · 100 EXP
