Valkyrie profile covenant of the plume download

The world of Valkyrie Profile is known for its political tales of states at war and strife among the gods, and this prequel attempts to explain where all the war, deceit, and strife originated from. Gameplay The battle system in Covenant of the Plume is slightly different from the first two games' systems.

Before engaging in combat you and your enemies will take turns moving around a grid based map, SRPG-style. Whenever two units make contact, battle takes place. Winning a battle in Covenant of the Plume revolves around surrounding enemies with numerous members of the party to engage in a combo attack.

If other party members are within range, they will join in the attack without sacrificing their own turn. When combat occurs, any party member within range will have a chance to attack.

Each character out of four possible for each battle has his or her attacks mapped to a single button on the DS. Timing each character's attacks is crucial, since damage stacks and counts towards an Overkill meter, which in turn adds Sin points to each battle's outcome.

If a certain number of Sin points are met, additional loot is granted to the main character. Covenant of the Plume employs a simple overhead point-to-point map system for its overworld. Sin is gained by inflicting damage against an enemy whose HP has already been depleted. Most of the battles in the storyline have a predetermined amount of Sin the player must harvest to appease Hel. If the appropriate amount of Sin is accumulated by the end of battle, the player will be rewarded with items and equipment but if the amount is not reached, the player will face a set of extremely difficult and powerful enemies.

Thyodor's death leaves his family in poverty; his wife Margot goes insane, his daughter Elsie starves to death, and his son Wylfred swears vengeance against Lenneth. Years later, Wylfred becomes a mercenary as his land is engulfed in conflict due to the king's failing health, hoping this is the ideal opportunity to meet and kill Lenneth. He is accompanied by his friend Ancel, who wants to dissuade him from his path.

During a mission, Wylfred is attacked by monsters and mortally wounded; he is saved by Niflheim's queen Hel, who gives him a feather called the Plume of Destiny; in exchange for bathing it in conflict and sin, it will grant him the power to destroy Lenneth. Using the Plume, Wylfred is able to increase Ancel's strength to defeat the monsters; however, the Plume's power kills Ancel immediately after the battle.

He is then to safety by Ailyth, a liaison between him and Hel. The rest of the narrative is influenced by the player's choice; these choices include an initial choice of alliance during a rebellion against the local government, and whether Wylfred chooses to use the Plume. Following the king's death, his sons Langrey and Kristoff both claim the throne, leading to civil war. The exact events of the war are influenced by Wylfred's use of the Plume, but eventually the war is ended.

After the war concludes, the game's ending begins. If the Plume is used at any time following Ancel's death, it transforms into a weapon capable of felling Lenneth. Lenneth is attracted by Wylfred's actions, and those sacrificed to it come to her aid in the final battle as einherjar. To prevent her abandoning her duty, they decide to erase her human memories for future assignments.
