Walkthrough Guide | Ataegina

Prologue: The Echo of Ash

You wake on a cold stone slab. The air tastes of rust and incense. Your name is Eira, and the last thing you remember is the Siege of Thornwood—a battle you lost. A spectral raven watches you from a broken window. This is the Monastery of the Dying Sun.

Walkthrough:

• Do not take the sword yet. Explore the cell. Read the torn journal beside your bed. It speaks of "Ataegina's Bargain" – a ritual to undo one great sin.
• Examine the mural. It depicts a goddess with two faces: one weeping, one laughing. Touch the weeping face. You’ll receive a Tarnished Medal (key item).
• Now take the rusted sword from the altar. A ghost appears – Brother Malachai. He warns: “To walk her path, you must first forget your own.”
• Choice: Accept his brand (gain +2 Faith, -1 Sanity) or Refuse and strike him (gain +2 Fury, unlock combat tutorial). Either way, the floor collapses.
