Chapter 4 – Living Legend

Noctis’ party follows Ardyn to the Disc, and upon reaching the imperial checkpoint, Ardyn signals the guard to open the gate. Noctis’ party continues forward into the crater while Ardyn procures an airship in secret.

At the bottom of the crater, Noctis’ team (inexplicably) finds another Royal Arm. But immediately after claiming it, Titan moves causing a tremor that leads Noctis and Gladio to fall and inadvertently begin the Trial of the Archaen. For this trial Noctis must prove that he can defeat Titan, so the god continually engages him while they attempt to climb out of the crater. Upset by the disturbance, imperial forces move to eliminate Titan. Eventually Noctis and Gladiolous rendezvous with their companions and deal a finishing blow to Titan. However, the party is trapped in the crater, so Ardyn shows up on an airship, finally introducing himself as Chancellor Ardyn Izunia, and offers to give them a lift. They begrudgingly accept, leaving their car behind.
