Days Lost: Difference between revisions

After defeating [[Arete]], [[Corrin]] pushes forward into Castle Valla. There, he/she falls into a trap and encounters [[Mikoto]], who claims to retain her free will as a puppet of [[Anankos]]. Corrin tries to attack Mikoto, refusing to believe in Anankos' trickery, but stops when Mikoto does not defend herself. Corrin decides to believe Mikoto and Mikoto warns them of a trap-filled maze ahead. Shortly after telling Corrin this, Mikoto vanishes. Corrin eventually hears [[Azura]]'s singing from another part of the room and finds her. He/She tells her about what Mikoto had told him/her earlier.

However, this is a ruse to get Corrin to lower his/her guard, and he/she is forced to battle and kill her. Before the battle starts, Mikoto tells Corrin and his/her party that there are a set of two doors in each room; the blue ones are safe, while the red ones damage all deployed [[unit]]s. If the player defies Mikoto's advice and opens a red door, Mikoto will appear disappointed, but nonetheless encourages Corrin and their party to continue. At the final set of doors, Mikoto tries to drop the party's guard by telling them that the red door is safe. If the player follows this suggestion, all units are dropped to 1 HP and Mikoto is happy that this means they will all die together. Disregarding this suggestion prompts Mikoto's surprise that Corrin saw through her ruse and Corrin explains that he/she was suspicious about Mikoto's manner of speech; Mikoto reasons that if Corrin and his/her party die, they can forever be reunited in the service of Anankos.

After Mikoto is defeated, she truly regains her free will and thanks her children, who are depressed and horrified to lose their mother again. Before her death, Mikoto reveals to Corrin that he/she is Vallite royalty and that [[Arete]] is her older sister, making Corrin and Azura cousins. As Mikoto passes on, Corrin swears to defeat Anankos.
