Eternal Freeze Aftermath

Talk with Gepard about the state of the battlefield

📍 Jarilo-VI Great Mine

Serval and you arrive at the Great Mine as fast as you could. Gepard seems to have already finished preparing for battle. Listen to his plans.

Put all artillery units on standby. Wait for my command to bombard enemy positions and cover our infantry advance.
Gepard
Gepard
We have a choke point here. Tell all infantry units to switch to double-line formation — close-quarters in front, gunners behind. Remember, get the wounded out as soon as possible, and always secure your flanks before advancing.
Silvermane Lieutenant

Yes, sir!
Gepard
Gepard
Ah, you're here. Get ready, we need to help the infantry lines drive deep into the mine.

How's the situation?
Do you have to go there in person?
Gepard
Gepard
The back of the mine has been secured, which gives us a forward base to send in supplies. The Silvermane-Wildfire combined regiment is conducting rescue missions as they advance.
Gepard
Gepard
The battle is fierce, I need to get to the front line. I'll leave the command post to my officers.
Gepard
Gepard
The battle is reaching a pivotal point. I have to get to the front line. I'll leave the command post to my officers.
Gepard
Gepard
We have clear objectives and the terrain is relatively easy to read. My officers are well-trained — the command system will be in good hands.
Serval
Serval
I... I don't know much about warfare, but I don't see why a commander needs to lead the charge. The situation here is totally different from the Restricted Zone.
Serval
Serval
Gepard, let me and {NICKNAME} clear the way for you. You should stay in your command post.
Gepard
Gepard
Thanks, Serval, but please trust my judgment on this.
Gepard
Gepard
I made a promise to Mr. Oleg to save as many people as possible. I have to see to it myself.
Serval
Serval
...There's no stopping you once you've made up your mind. Fine, we'll do it your way.
Gepard
Gepard
Let's move out. We need to clear a way for Wildfire and the Guards.

All civilians please go to the bridge immediately! The Silvermane Guards have set up a defensive perimeter — you'll be safe there!

Move deeper into the battlefield and help the refugees on the way

Gepard will lead you and Serval to the front lines himself to raise morale and improve overall combat capacity. You will push deeper into the battlefield while helping the refugees along the way.
The atmosphere of this battlefield is out of the ordinary. Please be careful during combat.

There's a monster heading this way... What should we do, Gepard?

Bring it down. We need to cover the retreat.

It made it easy for us... but we can't let our guards down.

It's safe here. Let's move on.

Gepard will lead you and Serval to the front lines himself to raise morale and improve overall combat capacity. You will push deeper into the battlefield while helping the refugees along the way.
The deeper you go, the more terrifying the atmosphere of the battlefield becomes — This is not mere exaggeration, but you actually feel the temperature in the air dropping. The situation is definitely odd. Please proceed with caution.

That's right. We're evacuating the miners together with Wildfire. Are there any other civilians up ahead?

Silvermane G—Guards and Wildfire are working together now...?

Oh, Civilians... Ah! I saw a girl run out from our defensive position just now!

My brother went after her, but they haven't come back...

Understood, I'll bring them back. The Guards and Wildfire have set up defenses on the bridge. You should head over.

Let's keep searching for the missing girl and the miner.

Is it me or is it... cold here?

Look for the little girl and other miners

You and the siblings arrive at a temporary base in the besieged mining area. You inform the vagrants to immediately retreat to the mining bridge with the children and the elderly.
After successfully solving the issue for this base, you keep moving forward and look for miners who have been separated from the others. The few people who the miners mentioned should be around here. Look for them carefully.

Thank goodness we got here in time. If we'd arrived any later...
Gepard
Gepard
That's one brave little girl... You were like that at her age too.
Serval
Serval
Huh? I wouldn't go that far — I only had Dad to deal with. He could be fierce, but nothing like the monsters here.
Serval
Serval
Besides, my problem with him wasn't that he was a strict father...
Serval
Serval
I just couldn't believe that he never lifted a finger to oppose Cocolia's order to seal the passageway...
Serval
Serval
Vowing to protect the Underworlders in one breath, and then deciding they deserved to be abandoned in the next... "Family code of conduct" — what a joke.
Gepard
Gepard
Father was a soldier. He wasn't supposed to question the orders from his superiors...
Gepard
Gepard
...Never mind. I know I sound like I'm defending him, and I don't want to make you angry. At least now we've got the chance to right the wrongs.
Serval
Serval
Hmph, I'm angry just thinking about it. Looking back, I'm glad I left home early.
Gepard
Gepard
Running away doesn't solve the problem. It's been ages since you two had those fights, but you still can't let it go... You need to walk out of his shadow.
Serval
Serval
...
Gepard
Gepard
I'm not trying to change your mind. I just want to know that your choice to leave this planet is a result of having thought things through, not because you're trying to run away from something.
Serval
Serval
My choice...
Gepard
Gepard
...Sorry, I sound like Dad.
Serval
Serval
*sigh* Don't worry about it. I get what you're trying to say, I do! It's just... I need some time.
Serval
Serval
Let's focus on the business at hand. That miner we met said his brother came this way — we should look around.
Gepard
Gepard
Okay. Be careful though, I sense a drop in temperature. Something's not right.
Gepard
Gepard
It could mean something we haven't encountered before is waiting for us. Stay on your toes.

Keep moving forward and look for miners who have been separated from the others

You found the selfless older sister matching the miners' descriptions and successfully defeated the invading Fragmentum monsters, protecting her and her younger brother.
There is only one more separated miner left. Keep looking for them around here.
Strong Miner
Strong Miner
Phew... These monsters are tough. I need to find those kids...
Serval
Serval
Hey... Did you just scare off a Fragmentum monster?
Strong Miner
Strong Miner
Uhh, kind of... There was one on its own — I managed to chase it away.
Strong Miner
Strong Miner
Speaking of which, you came from that direction, right? Did you see two little kids? A girl and her brother...?
Options
They've retreated to the safe zone.
They were surrounded by monsters.
Strong Miner
Strong Miner
Ah, thank goodness... I chased the monster too far and lost them.
Strong Miner
Strong Miner
What!? Quick! I knew I shouldn't have—
Gepard
Gepard
Easy, they went back to safety.
Gepard
Gepard
They'll be okay now. You should head back to the bridge too — the Guards and Wildfire have set up a safe zone there.
Strong Miner
Strong Miner
Thank you — all of you. I'm just glad they're okay... I can finally retreat as well.
Strong Miner
Strong Miner
I heard there's a powerful monster down the road — some kind of leader of the pack... I'd take caution!
Gepard
Gepard
Thanks for the intel. We'll be careful.

Gepard
Gepard
I've seen this type of monster a few times near the restricted zone.
Gepard
Gepard
Ready? Here we go.

Gepard
Gepard
I think he was right about the monster... Serval, {NICKNAME}, no sudden moves.

Keep pushing deeper into the battlefield

All the refugees should have been evacuated. Now you just need to attack the remaining Fragmentum monsters and completely chase them out of this mine.
The air around you is almost freezing cold. The abnormality amongst the monsters shouldn't be far. Be on high alert and progress carefully.

Gepard
Gepard
Wait, don't get too close! Something's not right...

Huh? What is it?
Gepard

These monsters are usually eager to fight — you're guaranteed a fierce battle if you see one in the Fragmentum...
Gepard
Gepard
But this one doesn't seem concerned about us... This could be a trap.
Options
A trap laid by a Fragmentum monster? Are they that smart?
Enough talking, let's get it!
Gepard
Gepard
...I'm not sure either. I just have a feeling that something's different.

It said, "Why do you always have to stand in my way?"
It said, "Thank you, Serval."

I see... You really made no effort to correct your mistakes, Cocolia...

You two should head over to Natasha's place and check in on the wounded.

Sure, come find us later at the clinic. {NICKNAME}, let's leave Gepard to his business and head back to town.
