Tactics Ogre: Reborn details Warren Report, relics, more

Square Enix has issued yet another round of details for Tactics Ogre: Reborn covering the Warren Report, challenge locations (Phorampa Wildwood, Palace of the Dead, The Pirate’s Graveyard), relics, and more classes (Skeleton, Ghost, Lich, Golem, Dragon, Gryphon). New screenshots are also available.

Here’s the full rundown:

The Warren Report

The Warren Report chronicles your deeds in Valeria, contains profiles of characters you meet and news of what’s occurring throughout the land, as well as useful information about the game and how to play, all presented in a database format.

But it’s more than just a database. It also contains event scenes that can’t be found anywhere else, and reading information in the Warren Report can even unlock new locations to visit. So be sure to check back often to see what’s new!

Delve into the Depths

Deep, rewarding gameplay is one of the highlights of the game. There are many locations off the main story path set aside exclusively for the sheer fun of battle. Winning these battles can cause new stages to appear on the map, allowing you to delve even deeper into the challenge. Some of these paths can branch, and depending on which route you take, the enemies you face and the treasures that await will change. Gather riches to fill your coffers, collect materials to craft powerful items, and even recruit faeries, ghosts, and dragons into your party. See how deep your
wits can take you!

Challenge Location: Phorampa Wildwood

A vast forest with challenging terrain, known as a treacherous breeding ground for all manner of strange beasts. Enemies with classes otherwise unavailable in the early stages of the game can be found here, so it’s an ideal spot to track down new recruits for your forces.

After completing the location, you can “Withdraw” and reenter again as many times as you like.

Each stage you clear unlocks a further challenge deeper within. There’s no turning back during this gauntlet of battles, and no shops to restock supplies, so go prepared!

Challenge Location: Palace of the Dead

The Palace of the Dead is a daunting location filled with plenty of powerful enemies, and can be unlocked by meeting certain conditions. Bring a well-prepared party if you plan to reach the depths of the palace.

Long ago, an evil mage ventured into the Palace of the Dead in search of great power. Though many have entered, none have ever returned. A dungeon that descends seemingly without end. What evil awaits in the deepest depths? Special events can be found within. The Palace of the Dead holds some sort of secret…

Defeat the deadly enemies that dwell within to claim powerful items and spells.

Challenge Location: The Pirate’s Graveyard

Shipwrecks adrift on the ocean currents gather in this graveyard. Reports of ghosts and misshapen creatures pour in without end. Many pirates have entered the graveyard hoping to claim the treasures within, but none are known to have returned.

A twisting maze carved by underground rivers and the ceaseless ocean tides. Terrible creatures and the restless souls of mariners lost at sea are said to wander here… Defeat powerful enemies in a gauntlet of battles to find the pirate’s treasure rumored to rest in the furthest reaches of the graveyard.

New Feature: Relics

Among the equipment you’ll find in certain dungeons are new items called relics, which have different properties from normal items. You can combine relics with the same name in shops to upgrade various stats, such as attack type, element, and racial resistance. Stack the upgrades to help you take on even more powerful enemies.

*Some relics with the same name may have different stats. There is a cap on the resistance stats that relics can reach.

Class Introductions

• Skeleton: A skeletal warrior summoned from the world of darkness using necromancy. Able to wield a wide variety of weapons.
• Ghost: An undead spirit with no physical form summoned from the world of darkness using necromancy.Tip: After being incapacitated in battle, spirits from the world of darkness will revive after a certain amount of time passes. However, clerics can use the divine magic Exorcism to put them to rest.
• Lich: Mages from the world of darkness who have transcended death. They wield high level magic and abilities.
• Golem: These manmade monsters are constructed of materials such as clay and stone. Originally created as guardians, now they answer to no master.
• Dragon: Girded with iron-hard scales, they scatter any who stand against them with mighty tails and fearsome breath.
• Gryphon: Magical beasts with the body of a lion and the wings and head of an eagle. Since they soar high on the wind, rough terrain and elevation differences have no effect on them.
