Out of the Ropes The ropes that bound us were easier to undo than I expected. Considering Anton slipped these ropes on us while we were in the middle of that strange nightmare, one would think that he would have had the time to tie a proper knot... But enough on that. Right now, Luke and I must focus on escaping this place. The ropes that bound us were easier to undo than I expected. Considering Anton slipped these ropes around us while we were in the middle of that strange nightmare, one would think that he would have had the time to tie a proper knot... But enough on that subject, as Luke and I must now focus on escaping this place.
In the Bowels of the Castle In passing through the odd space under the castle, Luke and I stumbled upon a number of machines identical to those we saw down in the mine. I believe the castle and mine are actually connected through this underground area. I haven't the time to explore it further at present, but we may have just wandered into the heart of this town's greatest secret.

Fleeing Herzen Castle By some stroke of luck, we've managed to make it as far as the castle entrance, but just as we reached the main doors leading out, I realized that leaving now means leaving behind what may be my only chance to solve the mystery of Andrew's untimely death and the Elysian Box. Until I completely understand the phenomena at work here, I must stay and investigate the castle.

Anton's Madness Anton spotted us in the castle great room and, upon seeing Katia, seemed to lose all reason. I don't understand why, but he lunged at me with his sword. Luckily, I was able to fend him off with a nearby saber. Despite being the very picture of health, Anton began to lose his breath, almost hyperventilating, within seconds of our duel's start. It's just as I suspected... Anton spotted us in the castle's great hall and, upon seeing Katia, seemed to lose all reason. For a reason I don't understand, he lunged at me with his sword.

Katia Reveals the Truth Katia has finally explained her involvement in this whole affair. She is Anton's granddaughter. Sadly, Anton responded rather poorly to this revelation and, in a fit of madness, began destroying the castle. The place now seems on the verge of crumbling, and while there's much left to talk about, my first priority right now is to escape with everyone before the whole place comes down.

The Truth of the Curse A hallucinogenic gas released from the mine has been playing tricks on us the whole time, making the ruins of Folsense appear alive and vibrant. It seems that traces of this same gas are emitted by the Elysian Box, and those who opened it were exposed to a dose powerful enough to cause frightening visions. It is this gas that started the legends surrounding both the Elysian Box and Folsense.

It seems that traces of this same gas are emitted by the Elysian Box, causing terrifying visions for those who open it and leading to comparisons with the mythical Pandora's Box. It is this gas that started the legends surrounding the box and the town.
Anton as He Truly Is With the castle wreckage now blocking the source of the gas, the Anton from earlier has faded, revealing him for what he truly is--an aging man in his twilight years. Upon returning the box to him, he spoke to us of a second way to open the Elysian Box and, after giving Luke a rather cryptic hint, asked him to try opening it. It seems we're about to find out what was hidden within that box.
