They kept Lux safe after the Soul Stone was stolen, and have since been struggling to keep the Un-dream at bay. He then leads Zoë and Crow to a temple.Īs they walk inside the temple, Abnaxus explains that the Oular were always meant to be the protectors of the Dream, as they were the children of the first dream, and therefore came into being long before humans, the Venar, and even the world as it is known to Zoë came into being. Abnaxus answers apologetically that he would love to explain more, but time is running short and Lux awaits. Zoë notices that she is familiar with "the Grubbers", and asks Abnaxus why they would serve something that seeks to unmake all of existence.
The Yehte became "the grubbers beneath" and unwittingly came to serve "the Un-dream", as they were enslaved by it, while the Oular took to live in the clouds where they serve as Lux's guardians. The two races are now both protector of dreams but in different ways. But ages ago, the two species began to split up, which led to their great cities crumbling.
Abnaxus explains that they had a grand civilization of their own, when they lived alongside another race called "the Yehte". Zoë also inquires about the nature of the Oular. April and the White Dragon are supposed to be "alive, reborn, but split in two." Abnaxus says that Crow is important and magical, specifically saying that he will accompany the "bloodless king" before joining the "Dragon of Spring" at the end of his life. He tells her a few things about April, Kian, and Crow. She then asks him why he contacted her to recover the Soul Stone, and Abnaxus answers that only a Dreamer, like Lux, could have faced the Sisters. Abnaxus explains that reaching out to her telepathically was hard to accomplish, so his message became muddled in the process. Zoë asks Abnaxus why he spoke so cryptically to her in her dreams. But he has accepted this fate, considering it an insignificant price to pay for helping to save Lux. As a result he has gotten sick, and he fears that he does not have much time left to live.
Unfortunately, he, as a Venar, cannot endure living in linear time for very long. He reveals that his people, the Venar, has left this realm behind for another, and he alone has stayed behind to guide Zoë towards her goal. Although it does not answer, the Oular seemingly recognizes her description of Abnaxus and takes Zoë to him.Ībnaxus greets Zoë in a meek manner, having several coughing fits as he speaks to her. Its inhabitants are skittish and unwilling to approach Zoë however, Zoë manages to talk to one Oular more curious than the others. It follows the conclusion of Zoë's journey to save Lux in the Purple Mountains.Īfter reaching the Purple Mountains, Zoë enters the city of Oular. It's an ending, not sure it was the appropriate ending needed, it lacked something, a certain Je ne sais quoi but an ending nonetheless.Lux is the eleventh chapter of Dreamfall Chapters and the third chapter of Book Four: Revelations. which would have elaborated on her role after the first game some more. I think the saddest part is that Ragnar won't get to make that Longest Journey game called 'Home' starring April after all. It would have been preferable to have her story be expanded upon from the very start instead of halfway through the game, more so than her simply being like Morgan Freeman stepping forward to explain everything that is going on at the end of almost any film he is in. Although we experience her 'growth' we don't really get to know who she is. I wish they'd introduced her in earlier chapters to give her more build up, she had a lot but enough and it felt rather delayed and rushed at the end. What about the teensy prophecy: April will save the Balance, only to destroy it later? What happened to the second part? Did i miss something very obvious here? She was always the better protagonist and the better character than Zoe to me but didn't get her Cinderella ending. With regards to all the groundwork that was laid out, and the Scandinavian folklore spiritually that fuels this game's narrative ala Astrid Lindgren-It always seemed like Saga was meant to be her reincarnation. Oh she freed you, she says? I don't know, I remember it more along the lines of you being skewered by a Saturday morning cartoon villain, and that's it. Like something that was winged out of left field for shock value sake alone.Īpril's story was the part I disliked the most. It was shocking and sudden, so I guess it worked more along the lines of April's demise.
Brian Westhouse being the big bad is something I saw coming from a mile away, his questionable knowledge of all the important details and his general presence in both Dreamfall and Chapters felt suspicious, probably even more so in the first chapter of which he appears in Chapters.
