88 Chapter 5 marks a turning point in the main story. Marquis Serkis announces the arrival of a Demenissian delegation and extends a banquet invitation to the Greymanes. This news is especially dangerous for Damiane, a Demenissian in hiding whose swordmaster disappeared during a dark conspiracy. The political tension between Hernand and Demeniss sets the stage for the events that follow.

1717 The standout encounter of this arc takes place during the Demenissian Delegation quest. A monster brought by the delegation to flaunt Demeniss's military might breaks free during the banquet, turning the hall into a scene of carnage. Kearush is a giant gorilla-like creature with three health bars and is considered one of the more challenging fights in the early game. Dodge forward and to the right to position behind it, land three quick strikes, then prepare for the next dodge. Blocking and parrying are ineffective against this enemy.
