## Walkthrough


### Step 1

- **Dialogue**: ...


### Step 2

- **Reward**: I know you have questions...
but our time together is short.


### Step 3

- **Reward**: A shard born of my last hope...
and my faith that you would survive.


### Step 4

- **Objective**: ...Hope? Faith... in what?

- **Summary**: The Valkyrie Project... failed.
Its purpose was lost.
But it was not your failure.
Only now can I say that with certainty.


### Step 5

- **Reward**: Sacramentum, the sacred greatsword, was never incomplete.
It was we who misunderstood how to wield it.


### Step 6

- **Objective**: Misunderstood? What do you mean?

- **Summary**: All this time, you've fought to command your power,
because you tried too hard to control it.
You bound its true nature,
forcing the Light itself into silence.


### Step 7

- **Reward**: In trying to contain what was meant to flow,
your body broke beneath it... and chaos followed.


### Step 8

- **Objective**: Then... what kind of weapon is this greatsword?

- **Summary**: Once, there were those who followed the Light in the name of the Dawn.
My own master, a bearer of the Goyen name, was among them.
I saw the potential in their legacy,
and reshaped it for our purpose. Thus was born... Sacramentum.
The greatsword resonates with the wielder's body through Sacred Power,
absorbing and returning that strength.
A weapon forged to stand against evil,
capable even of devouring darkness itself.


### Step 9

- **Reward**: And... it is also a vessel for the divinity
closest to Elion's very essence.


### Step 10

- **Objective**: Divinity... closest... to Elion's essence?

- **Summary**: Yes. We, the Church, were blind to the true nature of god.
We denied that judgment could be part of the Divine's will.
Elion's grace is not only mercy,
but also the stern justice that condemns evil.
Do not hate the dark shape you struck down.
It too was born of the Divine... perhaps even...


### Step 11

- **Reward**: Perhaps that was the truest divinity of all—
the true purpose the Valkyrie Project sought to uncover.


### Step 12

- **Objective**: Then how... how should I use this power?

- **Summary**: The Project is gone.
No one can bind you now.
How you wield that power...
that choice belongs only to you, Greta.
Light and shadow, both dwell within you.
Both are the radiant blessings of Elion.


### Step 13

- **Reward**: My time... grows short.
Even this form is beginning to fade.


### Step 14

- **Reward**: Then hear my final lesson.
Now... raise your blade once more.


### Step 15

- **Objective**: ...Yes, Master. As you command.

- **Summary**: ...


### Step 16

- **Objective**: ...Yes, Master. As you command.

- **Summary**: ...
