The main feature of this patch is Pandæmonium: Anabaseios, with a Savage mode releasing one week after launch. The Warrior investigates Pandæmonium's appearance in the present, only to be confronted by a resurrected Athena, who recreates shades of Erichthonios and Lahabrea from the memory crystal. Lahabrea explains that her resurrection was made possible by placing her soul in the Heart of Sabik, an auracite that previously powered the Ultima Weapon, and was awakened by Claudien discovering the stone at the site of Lahabrea's defeat in Azys Lla. Journeying to the facility alone, the Warrior encounters the resurrected shade of Themis who was made Athena's thrall. After defeating Themis, the Warrior releases him from Athena's control; he then reveals that Claudien is Erichthonios' present-day reincarnation. The Warrior faces Athena and defeats her, thwarting her plans for godhood. She threatens to destroy the aetherial sea, though Erichthonios sacrifices himself by awakening Claudien's memories of his past life to release him from Athena's control. The Warrior then journeys back to the past, where Lahabrea pieces together that Hegemone was under Athena's control and allowed Hephaistos to wreak havoc. Merging with his splintered fragment, he dispels Athena's brainwashing. Back in the present, Claudien devotes himself to researching the Heart of Sabik, while Themis reflects on his time with the Warrior before amicably passing on. Other features include another update to Blue Mage, a new route for Ocean Fishing in the Far East, and the second Variant and Criterion Dungeon, Mount Rokkon.
