Chapter 7 – Party of Three

Because Ardyn was watching Noctis’ team, he knows that the gang needs Mythril to get to Altissia, so he removes the blockade before they arrive at Caem, and also organizes a fake training exercise as a pretense to allow Noctis’ team to explore the ruins. Several days later, Noctis, Ignis, and Prompto drive to the ruins without aid, because Cor is off helping Hunters fight monsters. When they arrive, Ardyn explains that he can let them into the ruins to gather Mythril, and has even arranged an escort, Aranea, to protect them.

The group begins exploring the ruins. Aranea spills that the empire is harvesting the ruins for daemon specimens to make more magitek troopers. She is also considering leaving the empire to go back to mercenary work because they seem to be going insane. At the bottom the gang fights a giant monster, then claims the Mythril before leaving. Outside, Aranea offers to give them a ride to wherever they need to go before leaving. Coincidentally, Ignis receives a phone call from Cindy telling them to take the Mythril to Lestallum for refinement. So, they ask Aranea for a lift back to the city.
