Where the group left off in chapter 12 was on a train ride to the Imperial City, their final stop on the train. Things don’t exactly go to plan, as the train for some reason stops just outside of the city and it’s quite clear that whatever is about to happen next isn’t positive. Noctis and friends decide to check out the next train car, to see if they can get a better perspective of what’s going on; only to be attacked by demons. Demons are a problem they’ve faced many times before, so it’s not too much of a threat – at least it wouldn’t be if they could use their weapons. For some unknown reason, the team can no longer access their weapons and for the time being are completely defenceless, so they must do their very best to avoid combat as best they can until they make it to their car: the Regalia.
They hop into the Regalia and shoot off as fast as they can to avoid as much as possible, all the while dodging falling debris and consistent gunfire. It’s not too long until they come across a closed gate and must ram the car into it to force it open; sadly putting the Regalia out of action for the rest of their adventure.
 
Making their way through a ruined train yard to avoid any potential nasties, the group get separated from each other – leaving Noctis all alone and defenceless. Noctis soon comes to the conclusion that he can no longer ignore the power of the Ring of Lucil and decides to finally wear it; bestowing him with powers only his bloodline can put to use – allowing him the chance to save his hide if he comes across any possible demons.
 
Currently trapped inside a considerably sized Keep, Noctis explores around, trying to locate his friends and only seeming to fail for a little while – that is until he spots Prompto being held against his will in a cell! Making use of a keycard that Noctis has been using throughout the Keep, upgrading its security level as necessary, he finally finds a way to help out his trapped friend and free him – once he manages to get to him first of all. Things are never that simple for Noctis, however, due to the fact that he finds himself falling down to a new area of the Keep; an accident that proves both hopeful and disheartening all at the same time.
 
Noctis locates Ravus – Lunafreya’s brother, who sadly is no longer of this world; this sad truth only spurs Noctis on to finally put a stop to the empire and Ardyn. While the death of Ravus weighs heavy on Noctis as an individual, he must press on and make use of the weapon that Ravus had in his possession: the Sword of the Father; the very same blade that was taken from Noctis’ father.
 
Finally being equipped with a blade, he can make it through the rest of the Keep without too much issue; eventually managing to catch up with Ignis and Gladio – and even soon after that you all manage to locate your lost friend: Prompto. Just before the end of the chapter, the team are reunited; just as they should be!
 
They all take an elevator ride up to their objective the entire time they were there: the crystal which Noctis believes must be touched in order to gain the powers necessary to save the world. Once again, this is nothing more than another one of Ardyn’s tricks and causes Noctis to be pulled into the crystal; leaving both his friends and the world he once knew behind.
