Chapter 2 – The Power of Kings
In an aside, it’s shown that Lunafreya has the Ring of the Lucii. Noctis and co. go to Hammerhead to meet Cor. He is not there, but Cid the mechanic says that Cor went further north at the tombs past the Prairie Outpost. He also shares that the Empire was after the Crystal and the Ring of the Lucii using the peace talk as a pretext for gaining them. Regis was aware of this, but agreed to the peace talk anyway, as the best thing he could do was engage the empire head on…and die, sending the Ring of the Lucii to Lunafreya.
Knowing Cor’s actual location, the gang continues on to the Prairie Outpost for further info. There they meet up with Monica of the Crown’s Guard who tells the gang that she and Dustin transported Gladiolous’ sister Iris to Lestallum further north for safety. Noctis’ party, then continue on to the tombs where they meet Cor. The Marshal tells Noctis that the tombs of kings are home to Royal Arms – powerful weapons embodying the strength of former kings of Lucis that can be summoned at will by living kings of Lucis, provided that the king has “claimed” the weapon from a ruler’s tomb. There are 13 known royal arms spread across the land, and of those thirteen, the location of only a few is known. Since Noctis’ father has passed, he has now inherited this power and is “duty” bound to collect them. Cor then decides to escort Noctis to another nearby Royal Arm. Upon doing so, he gives Noctis the key to open the Royal tombs then leaves to go gather intel on the Niflheim forces.
After claiming the Royal Arm from the tomb, Noctis receives a phone call from Cor asking him to take out an imperial base so that they can access the Royal Arms in Duscae. The gang work out the specifics of the plan with Monica, then begin their assault. Some brief fighting later, they succeed and Cor leaves to watch Niflheim feeling confident that Noctis’ party is strong enough to continue alone.
