When redheaded thrill-seeker Adol Christin and his eternal blue-haired companion Dogi make an unannounced visit to Dogi's homeland of Felghana after an eight-year absence, it quickly becomes apparent that things have changed dramatically. Hordes of violent monsters roam the outskirts of town, a long-dormant volcano has suddenly sprung back to life, and the new lord of the land has begun mercilessly and inexplicably extorting money from its long-suffering citizens. While Dogi seeks out his former combat master for answers, Adol tends to the townsfolk - and finds himself embroiled in a world of political conspiracies, ancient legacies, and unthinkable taboos.

In addition to Adol's standard Slash and Lunge attacks, he can acquire elemental bracelets that grant magical abilities.

• The Ignis Bracelet: The Fire elemental power of this bracelet allows Adol to unleash fireballs, similar to the Fire Wand found in Ys II. After acquiring at least one Ruby, Adol can hurl a massive, exploding fireball.
• The Ventus Bracelet: The Wind elemental power of this bracelet spins Adol's whole body like a bladed whirlwind. Combat potential aside, activating this magic while jumping can be used to glide through the air, crossing wide chasms to find hidden locations. After acquiring at least one Emerald, Adol can transform into a vicious tornado.
• The Terra Bracelet: The Earth elemental power of this bracelet makes Adol's body temporarily impervious to damage and can be used to break through certain walls. Watch for cracks or other structural flaws! After acquiring at least one Topaz, Adol can move at breakneck speed, generating a powerful shockwave.

When Adol's Boost Gauge reaches 100%, you can activate Boost Mode. Adol's body will glow and his abilities will be temporarily enhanced. Both the speed and strength of Adol's attacks will increase significantly while Boost Mode is in effect. Adol will take only half damage and will suffer no knock-back or interruption when hit by enemies. He will be momentarily invincible when Boost Mode is first activated.
