After defeating the dragon, Kyle will make one more appearance to inform Aaron and Aria that he was infused with Fiersome and also must go to The Forest of Beginnings.Īaron and Aria change their goal, resolving to bring Kyle back. As they approach the final boss of the dungeon, Aaron and Aria finally catch a glimpse of their father Kyle. It also contains the toughest monsters yet. This portal leads to Palermo Shrine, which holds several floors and introduces a puzzle-solving element to dungeon exploration. When the barn goes deep enough, they discover a hole at the bottom! They also build expansions to the Barn so that they can host more monsters to help run the farm and fight beside them in dungeons. In town, they also invest in the school, expanding their access to magical knowledge, new weapons, and combat training so that they can explore further. However, the dungeons have also grown more dangerous and host various bosses who need to be defeated. Being a child, they can fit through the barricades which blocked Kyle's explorations before. Even though Aaron/Aria agrees to do this, they secretly resolve to find their father.Īaron and Aria set about uncovering the mysteries and magic of the dungeons, hoping they hold a clue to Kyle's disappearance. She will say not to be discouraged, go to school and be a good child. The next day, Aaron and Aria's mother will wake them up for school. The updated game intro shows the two going through adventures together as a pair of twins, but they do not play as a duo. From this point on, the child (Aaron if a boy and Aria if a girl) is the new protagonist. He leaves them a scroll, and tell them they'll be able to read it when the time is right.
He realizes there is something only he can do, and begins to leave, but his eight-year-old child sees him leaving. Kyle wakes up in the middle of the night, his memories returned. When Kyle builds a school for his child and beholds the completed building, the game moves to the second generation, and the main story really begins. As Kyle establishes his farm and gets to know the town, he settles in, attending festivals, raising crops, taming monsters, befriending the villagers, even getting married and having a child. There he meets Mana and her father Douglas, who lend him a bit of farmland to live on while he tries to recover his memories. In the first generation of the game, the protagonist is Kyle, an amnesiac who wanders into the town of Alvarna. The plot of Rune Factory 2 takes place over two generations.
