Where chapter 11 left off was with Noctis currently unconscious on the top of the train and Prompto is sadly nowhere in sight, but for the time being that’s not a problem Noctis can really focus on. After all, Noctis is currently stuck on a train, travelling through a deep and dark tunnel; a problem that quickly reveals itself when you recall that demons have this nasty habit of showing up in any location that lacks light, it’s no wonder Noctis is in a dangerous spot. So, to keep from becoming like a demon-snack, Noctis rushes his way to the very end of the train, slaying any and all that get in his way so he can make it back to his friends and away from any remaining danger; at least for the time being.
 
Eventually Noctis manages to make it to the end of the train and finally back inside of it, to prevent any more demons from attacking him. Deciding to reunite with his friends while safe inside the train, with the Magitek soldiers no longer pursuing them does soon give the group a chance for some respite; even if it may be short. Unfortunately, Noctis has to explain to Gladio and Ignis what has happened to Prompto, but it seems the friends are hopeful that they will find him again soon with little-to-no harm occurring to him.
 
The group settle down for a little while and stay to the tracks until they finally arrive at Tenebrae, a dark and desolate place that just so happens to have a rather interesting “companion” waiting at the stop for the group: Aranea. Earlier in the story she’s not exactly what you would call the nicest person to come across, due to her being on the side of the empire as a mercenary, but has come to her senses and decides to help out the 3 men by offering them a couple of useful individuals: Biggs and Wedge. These two help drive the train the rest of the way to their destination, whilst leaving the innocent passengers behind so they don’t become an unfortunate casualty.
 
Once everyone is ready to set off, the train starts to make a move again and they proceed to carry on with the rest of their journey. Everything is fine and dandy for a little while, up until the train is forced to come to a halt when it is discovered that a few very large icicles block the train from travelling any further. Noctis and crew make a stop and head outside the train to see what’s going on, only to be ambushed by some more demons; which they make quick work of.
 
After defeating a particularly difficult enemy, Ardyn feels the need to show up; teasing poor Noctis once more, until a god decides to bless Noctis. Shiva: the god of ice bestows her blessing onto Noctis and freezes Ardyn in place, shattering him into a million pieces and clearing up the path in front of the train. With the unfortunate fact of Ardyn being immortal, this “death” acts as little more than a distraction to get him out of Noctis’ head for a little while and keep him safe.
 
After the encounter comes to an end, the train gets back on track and their quest continues over onto chapter 13; where I’m sure you won’t be surprised continues to ramp up more and more.
