Clive and Jill arrive by boat along the rocky shoreline of the Holy Empire of Sanbreque under cover of night. You must advance along the coast and navigate through coastal paths and ruins while dealing with local wildlife and Imperial patrols. The route serves as an infiltration sequence that leads Clive toward the crystalline territories of Oriflamme.
