16. What difference does it make where I go for Asharr’s third mission? Does
anything change in the story?
Oh, there’s a big difference in the story! There’s not much difference in the
fourth and fifth missions themselves, or in gameplay (except that Inphyy will
help you out in the last part of the fifth mission if you go to Castle of
Varrvazarr, but won’t help you if you go to Fort Wyandeek). But there is a
significant difference in the endings you see.
!!SPOILER WARNING!!
If you go to Castle of Varrvazarr for the third mission, you’ll find Inphyy
toward the end of the fifth mission. She will be tired but unharmed, and she
will aid you for the rest of the mission. In the end, Aspharr will stop her
from killing Dwykfarrio, sparing the goblin king’s life and thus, saving
Inphyy from her own darkness and desire for revenge. As the game ends, Inphyy
seems to have come to understand Aspharr’s ways, and a bright light appears
before them.
If you go to Fort Wyandeek, Aspharr will again find Inphyy toward the end of
the fifth mission, but this time she has arrows in her back and collapses. She
dies in Aspharr’s arms, and he rushes off to face Dwykfarrio without her. In
the end, consumed by his own rage, Aspharr kills Dwykfarrio. He later returns
to Inphyy’s body and cradles her in his arms, sobbing as the game ends.
I think the second ending, the one you get by going to Fort Wyandeek, is far
more detailed and powerful. It’s also longer. Of course, it’s technically a
"bad" ending, but I found it more poignant.
!!END SPOILER WARNING!!
