Following rumors about a tormented ghost knight, the Hero and Rab return to Dundrasil to uncover an underground dungeon beneath the ruined castle. Inside, the Luminary confronts the Restless Knight—the corrupted spirit of his father, King Irwin—and enters his memories to defeat the demon tormenting him.
