The story

Arin has spent twenty-three years as a carpenter's son in Ashen Pass, a mountain village at the top of a frozen world. The night the gods' raiders come down the pass with their lanterns, his father dies halfway through a confession, and a fire wakes in Arin that has not burned since the last star fell. It turns the shackles of the seven gods into two chain-blades, the Cinder Tethers.

His father is not gone for good: he has been taken beyond the Veil, and the road there runs through the gods themselves. Part 1 covers the first three chapters of that road.

Three chapters, three bosses

Along the way you fight Ashbound raiders, the Drowned that rise out of the ice, Lantern-Wardens that throw lantern-fire, Shieldbearers and Thornlings.

  • Chapter I, First Ember: the raid on Ashen Pass, the awakening, the thorn seal at the mountain gate, and Veyr, the Hollow Warden, at the old shrine.
  • Chapter II, The Drowned Road: the village at dawn, the tithe lanterns, the Rimegorge and the frozen Glasswater lake, and Mardun, the Drowned King.
  • Chapter III, The Hearthmother's Ashes: the burned Cinderwood, a kiln, a temple stair, and the Thornwarden, an iron and thorn construct.

Sword fighting with chains of fire

Each boss asks for a different answer. Fire only turns Mardun's water to steam, so you pull him out of the lake when the shackle in his chest glows. The Thornwarden has to be burned twice before you can hook its tail.

  • Light and heavy combos, a dodge, a jump and a lock-on for one enemy at a time.
  • Tether Pull hauls a raider in, Tether Swing carries you across gaps on anchors, and Undertow drags heavy blocks and shields.
  • Ash Fury fills as you fight. Burn thorn seals to open the way.
  • Spend frost-sap on upgrades at the burned stones.
