After the events of “Ys II”, Adol Christin and his friend Dogi decide to go on a trip. Dogi wants to return to his hometown, Felghana, to see how it has changed since he left. They arrive in the Felghana region and quickly discover that things are not going well.
Arrival in Felghana
Upon arrival, Adol and Dogi meet Elena Stoddart, a childhood friend of Dogi. She explains that the region is under threat from monstrous creatures and that her brother, Chester Stoddart, has recently joined the forces of evil by working for Count McGuire, the tyrannical governor of Felghana.
Adol begins exploring the various locations of Felghana, battling monsters and helping distressed residents. He discovers that Count McGuire and Chester are seeking to awaken an ancient evil force to gain unlimited power. Adol must collect three magical artifacts scattered throughout the region to prevent this catastrophe.
Artefacts and the Tower of Dahm
Artifacts are guarded by powerful monsters and are hidden in dangerous places like mines and mountains. Adol confronts these guardians and succeeds in gathering the three artifacts. Meanwhile, Chester realizes his actions could destroy Felghana, but he feels trapped by his commitment to McGuire.
Adol then goes to Dahm’s Tower, a mysterious and sinister structure, to arrest Chester and McGuire. At the top of the tower, he faces Chester in an intense fight. Chester, seeing that he cannot win and understanding the magnitude of his mistakes, sacrifices himself to help Adol stop McGuire.
Adol then confronts McGuire, who has already begun the ritual to awaken the evil power. After a fierce battle, Adol manages to defeat McGuire and seal the evil power away for good, saving Felghana.
