Chapter 6 – A Way Forward

Several days later, off screen, Talcott gets a ride to Caem with Dustin and Monica, and Cid & Cindy are called to prepare the boat in the hidden harbor. On screen, Gladiolous wants to ensure his sister’s safety, so Noctis’ team takes her with them to Caem. While driving, a floating imperial fortress flies overhead spurring Noctis to go and destroy it to avenge Jared. The gang drops Iris off at the nearest town and fights their way to a nearby outpost to make a plan to infiltrate the base.

Ultimately, they decide to capture the base’s commander to gather intel and avoid a frontal confrontation. While stalking the commander, the target (conveniently) says that he killed Jared, is frustrated that Ardyn sent The Mercenary (Commodore Aranea Highwind) to watch him, and that Ardyn was the man behind the Magitek movement. After capturing the target, a fight breaks out and Noctis’ team prevails handily. However, before the gang can leave, Aranea drops from a small airship and engages Noctis. They fight for a while until Aranea leaves because, she’s supposedly finished fighting for the day and won’t get paid for fighting further. The gang then returns to Iris and rests for the night.

Next morning, they continue their drive to Caem, taking pictures along the way. Off screen, Ardyn watches them as they arrive. After arriving, the gang greets Cindy who tells them that they need Mythril to finish the ship. Talcott clarifies that the Mythril can be found in some ruins near a waterfall, and Iris adds that the road to the ruins are under imperial lockdown so the gang should be prepared. Immediately after hearing this, Gladiolous decides to leave to take care of something. Noctis lets him go, despite not knowing where he’s going or when he’ll be back.
