This is the third game in the series, following Valkyrie Profile (1999) and Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria. Covenant of the Plume features the valkyrie Lenneth, who struggles to reconcile the will of the gods with that of mortals. The story and gameplay fl ow are strikingly different than previous series iterations. Covenant focuses on new character Wylfred, a youth whose father Thyodor was killed in battle and appointed einherjar by the valkyrie. Seeking vengeance, Wylfred sets out to confront the Battle Maiden. Striking a pact with the denizens of Nifl heim, Wylfred receives the Destiny Plume. The Destiny Plume allows Wylfred to unlock an ally’s potential, making that person indestructible and all-powerful for one battle. However, the ally permanently dies afterward, and Wylfred’s destiny is changed. Battles are played in “rounds,” with the player controlling four characters who each get one “turn” per round. The enemies also each get one turn, during the “Enemy Phase.” The objective of every round is to defeat as many enemies as possible, thus limiting the amount of retribution the characters stand to suffer when the enemies get their turn. When a character moves within attacking range of an enemy, the player can initiate combat. If other characters are also in range of the same enemy, they can assist. Thus, characters only get one chance to move per round, but they can attack multiple times if properly positioned. With several characters attacking a single foe simultaneously, the Attack Gauge fi lls and a Soul Crush occurs. The Soul Crush is a limited time period in which one character may perform his/her trademark special attack. If that character’s special attack refi lls the Attack Gauge, then another character can perform his/her own special attack. And so forth, until all four characters have engaged a Soul Crush. Battles are won when the pre-set objective is achieved. The four main types of objectives are: destroy all opposition, defeat the enemy leader, defeat a character or boss, or rescue a game-controlled ally from being killed. The story and progression of battles follows three main “routes.” Use of the Destiny Plume determines which route the player follows and which battles are fought. When the player has achieved victory in all battles and confronted the fi nal boss, the game is won. The player can then save the game and play again with bonuses carried over from the fi rst game. Covenant also features a bonus dungeon called Seraphic Gate, which is unlocked by completing all three routes in the main game. 2 vp_01_tactics.indd 2 3/2/09 3:29:02 PM CONTROLS Part t ONE actics Part TWO u nits art w PTHREE alkthrough L Button - Rotate fi eld left/Previous page/ R Button - Rotate fi eld right/Next page/ Previous character Next character Y Button - Next character Part FOUR X Button - Open menu s + Control Pad - Move Character/Move menu cursor.

The player follows one story (called a route) per game. The route changes with use of the Destiny Plume. CHAPTERS ROUTE DIFFICULTY The game is broken up into “chapters” wherein story sub-plots begin Changing the route also changes the diffi culty of the game. The initial and end. At the beginning of each new chapter, the main protagonist route, Route A, is the hardest route to clear. In fact, Route A is too Wylfred meets new characters that need or want his help. The allies then challenging to clear in the fi rst game. Route B is less diffi cult, and Route become embroiled in a series of battles that change the political and C should be considered “easy.” Thus, the player should resolve to using emotional makeup of the land, for better or worse.
