00:05Hello and welcome to Styx Shards of Darkness, the new stealth infiltration game from Cyanide Studio, coming to PS4, Xbox
00:12One and PC.
00:13Join me for a moment to learn about the new mechanics, lore and gameplay to be explored in Styx's new
00:19adventure.
00:20Stolen by a dark elf shapeshifter, the Ambassador's Scepter, powered by a mysterious quartz, is Styx's target in Karangar, a
00:27port village hosting a diplomatic summit.
00:30Addicted to amber and intrigued by the magical properties of quartz, Styx must infiltrate the port and gain access for
00:36Heladrin, his latest shadowy client, and her airship.
00:39Using verticality and shadows to your advantage, sneak your way through the large, open spaces patrolled by elves, humans, dwarves
00:47and other nuisances.
00:48Today, we'll be avoiding and killing the humans and elves, but it depends on your playstyle.
00:53Keeping tabs on the amount of noise you're making is an important factor in your success.
00:58Land on carpets to soften your fall and use ropes to avoid a clumsy drop.
01:10Clever use of the environment will keep Styx hidden, while other clever uses of the environment will keep the enemy
01:16hidden.
01:17Remember, a dead guard is a quiet guard.
01:24Thinning out the patrols is one way to play Styx's Shards of Darkness, and there are multiple ways to do
01:29this.
01:29Throwing up in their refreshments is one of them.
01:32And after some time, they're bound to take a drink.
01:44Leaving their bodies behind is a great way to get busted.
01:51Scattered throughout the level are many crafting components, a new feature in Styx's Shards of Darkness.
01:56Collecting these essential ingredients will allow you to craft many useful items,
02:00which are integral to some of the abilities you'll see today.
02:04Crafting a bolt would allow for a ranged attack, useful in a bind.
02:07And the egg, well, you'll see how that's used in a moment.
02:13But first, let's make sure that if we are spotted,
02:16we won't have every elf between here and the Tower of Akinash on our tail.
02:20A useful tip for some of the inevitable missteps.
02:28I was bad.
02:30Come and take my ding-a-ling away.
02:41That noise.
02:42May this will protect us.
02:57In the shadows, your knife will light up, letting you know that you're difficult to be seen.
03:09On the bottom right of your screen, you'll see an orange bar.
03:11This is your Amber, used to power Styx's magical abilities.
03:15Getting from A to B in this corridor is difficult with the amount of enemies patrolling.
03:20So clever use of the Amber will illuminate useful and dangerous objects in your path,
03:24allowing you to make better decisions on how to move.
03:34Invisibility provides an expensive but effective cloak, but they can still hear you.
03:55Inside, things aren't quite so bright, working at an advantage for our little green friend.
04:01Clever use of sand to take out the lights will provide an element of visual cover,
04:05but the best way is usually to climb high.
04:17With the egg, we're able to create a cocoon, allowing Styx to throw a clone of himself large distances
04:35using the bolt and a chemical potion, we can take out both of the guards pretty easily,
04:41dissolving one body and carrying the remaining body to a place to hide.
04:52But before Haledrin can attend the summit, the register must be adjusted with a name to avoid rousing suspicion.
04:59For this, we can use the light to distract the guard.
05:08And now it's written down in black and white.
05:10Is his pass valid?
05:12Yes, but we'll keep him here a little while longer.
05:15This will teach him to control himself.
05:17Hmm, I need to get that pass.
05:20Okay, let's head for the docks.
05:32Again, using the environment, a little patience and observance opens opportunities to take out guards.
05:37But with the register changed, it's time to open the gates.
05:42Okay.
06:12There are many paths to take throughout each of the levels, some more dangerous than others, and many of them
06:17hidden.
06:17Sometimes the best way to avoid a fight is to stick to the shadows and stick to the walls.
06:24Layos!
06:25It is a stain and insult in this role!
06:28She should have finished it!
06:29She helped her.
06:30You better watch her.
06:33Ah, because we're here.
06:35Here we go.
06:40Here we go.
06:51And Wolf is in the Sheep Man.
07:01Using the blimp we can alert the guards to open the door and Heladrin can attend the summit.
07:05But we've alerted a suspicious guard so we've got to hide.
07:16Curiosity killed the elf and we don't even need to make an effort to hide him.
08:00One last check to make sure she's on her way and we've completed about half of the mission
08:05that takes place in the mountainous port of Karangar.
08:11To find out what happens next stay tuned to our next gameplay videos to find out about
08:15all of the races, features and new mechanics to be discovered in Styx Shards of Darkness.
08:22Coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC.
