If you haven’t played these games yet and you think you might, be warned. Author’s note: This page is loaded with spoilers, especially of Baten Kaitos Origins but also of Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean. There are actually two Baten Kaitos games - the other, Origins, is a prequel that was released in '06, which takes place twenty years prior to. Baten Kaitos: EW&tLO is a Gamecube exclusive role-playing game, brought to us in 2003 by such big names as Monolith and Namco, with a brilliant soundtrack developed by the good people of Tri-Crescendo.
I’ve been thinking about the Baten Kaitos duology a fair bit this year not long ago I recounted my 2015 playthrough of the two games, a playthrough carried out in chronological order rather than release order, since the second game in the series– Baten Kaitos Origins– is a prequel to the first game, Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean.Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean by Overrated Sage. Not all of the locations.Septemmarks the ten-year anniversary of the North American release of Baten Kaitos Origins, one of the last great GameCube games. Incidentally, all the towns in the games are also named after stars, albeit relatively obscure ones.
Sagi, the primary protagonist, is a “maladieter,” a person implanted with a piece of a dark god named Malpercio, which he manages to reconcile with and draw power from during the game. What becomes of Sagi and Milly after Origins? Sagi and Milly are two of the three main playable characters in Origins. Like any fanfiction, it is merely speculative, although it does seek to clean up some loose ends.
What becomes of Hasseleh? Hasseleh is the floating continent Sagi was born in. What becomes of Guillo after Origins? Guillo, a puppet (sort of a magical robot), is the third of the three Origins Guillo loses his body at the end of Origins but the end credits imply that Guillo’s head still lives. Between Origins and Eternal Wings, it is strongly implied that Sagi and Milly have a child named Melodia but the two parents later perish because of some sort of illness or Sagi and Milly help bring down the Alfard Empire in Origins.
What happens to the Alfard Empire after Origins? In Origins, Alfard is decimated when the newly-crowned emperor, Balheit, tries to create a floating mechanical continent called Tarazed. She is nowhere to be found in Eternal Wings. What happens to Lolo after Origins? Lolo, a brilliant wood engineer, was an NPC in Origins. His nature and Origins are not explained and he is not present in Eternal Wings. What are the Origins of Wiseman? Wiseman was the main antagonist in Origins he’s fought twice, once in the past and once in the present. (Most other continents float because of the power of objects known as End Magnus.) There is no record of Hasseleh in Eternal Wings.
Mira is difficult to access because it fluctuates in and out of another dimension. Geldoblame’s agents have been searching the continents, but to no avail.Geldoblame is approached by a mysterious assassin who has just returned from the island of Mira in a scouting mission for information about the End Magnus. The empire’s scholars believe that the End Magnus can only be found with a special stone, but they do not know where it is. So far they have found nothing, not even in his home island of Alfard. After a decade of turmoil, he has finally succeeded in rebuilding his empire and has begun searching for the powerful End Magnus. At the end of Origins, a man named Geldoblame assumes the throne to rebuild the empire as well as search for the power of the mythical End Magnus, the large stored remnants of the ancient god Malpercio.Plot Summary: Baten Kaitos: The Fall of the Heir and the Return of DarknessPrologue – Alfard: Eleven years after Origins, Emperor Geldoblame of the Alfard Empire is celebrating the completion of his new, grand palace.
Eventually Marno learns enough of the disease that he is able to communicate to Sagi information about the disease that doctors might use to fashion a cure.Chapter 3 – Mira: As Mira’s doctors rush to create the cure, Sagi receives a message from his mother Gena that his home continent of Hasseleh has begun to experience violent earthquakes, and that the island itself seems to be slowly descending from the sky. Sagi’s health is failing, even as his god-piece, Marno, is trying to understand the disease ravaging his companion’s body. Calbren, alerted to the Imperial source of the plague, is reinforcing the borders against future Alfard intruders, although he decides to keep the source of the plague secret for now. The assassin is defeated, but commits suicide by jumping off a dock before Sagi can question him.Chapter 2 – Mira: By now Sagi, Milly, and large numbers in Balancoire have fallen ill over the mysterious plague. After a long chase, Sagi, joined by Milly, confront and fight the assassin. Sagi, following Marno’s guidance, follows the “trail” of the strange, invisible cloud, eventually spotting and giving pursuit to a mysterious assassin.
After explaining the situation, Lolo readily agrees to travel with them. They travel to Anuenue and find Lolo. Milly, who in the past did not like Lolo, reluctantly agrees. Sagi’s god-piece, Marno, suggests that perhaps Lolo, the brilliant engineer from Anuenue, might be able to help. Sagi worries about how he is going to help save an entire island from falling, and wonders who could help. Milly also brings along a pack containing the head of Guillo, their old puppet companion.Chapter 4 – Anuenue: Slipping out of Mira, Sagi and Milly take to the sky in their old ship, the Sfida.
Part of the town has collapsed from the earthquakes, although they are able to pull survivors. As she heads off to work Sagi and Milly travel to the town of Sheratan where Sagi’s mother, Gena, resides. Lolo says that she is not sure she can save the island but will try. Lolo determines that the island is falling because of power leaking out from when the Empire sheared off part of the island during an attack over a decade before. The island is shaking and dropping, faster now.
He leads her to Detourne, the Mystical Garden … and the resting place of Mira’s End Magnus. Desperate, Calbren decides to try an ancient power that only a few people know of. Suddenly the island begins to plunge rapidly downward, straight into the toxic Taintclouds.Chapter 6 – Mira: Back in Balancoire, Duke Calbren administers the plague antidote to Melodia, but for some reason she does not recover.
