X-Blades/Walkthrough



In the opening cinematic, Ayumi enters a local shop to have one of her latest finds, a crystal skull, appraised by the shopkeeper. As she browses the wares while waiting, she happens upon an relic that resembles one she found with the skull. She takes out her relic and puts it side-by-side with the one in the shop, and the two relics snap together instantly. They shift and twirl, causing the interior of the shop to grow dark, then a Pangolin snatches the shopkeeper from behind. Suddenly, Ayumi finds herself surrounded by Pangolins ready to pounce on her. She quickly draws her pistolblades and kills the monsters, one by one. When the monsters dissipate, their souls enter the two relic pieces and transform into a single tablet that displays a glowing map.
