Main Quest · The Tortured Path
I Have the Power
Spread across the gauntlet’s three chapters, "I Have the Power" recovers a sword piece per leg of the journey: the Hilt through a windmill lightning ritual in Spain, the Pommel behind a literal red herring aboard the Mount Olympus, and the forge itself at Deception Island, where runic wall codes call all three pieces down by airdrop and the Sword of Barbarossa is finally made whole at the altar. Each chapter’s escape carries its own trophy besides.
Preparation
