Earlier than you begin your climb, your whole allies collect and warn you to a coming assault and also you’ll have to choose one among your companions to remain behind and assist out.

Both Bellara or Neve — whoever received kidnapped earlier — gained’t be obtainable for this function — however the two of them are dangerous decisions right here. (Spoiler: They’ll die.)
