Styx comes back empty handed to the group, but he brings valuable information. Sent back to the group of humans with a hurt ego, Styx vows revenge with the help of the Carnage group, sets off for the elvian-fortress of Koranger. Styx almost completes his task only to find out the human with the scepter is a shape-shifting dark elf and kicks Styx’ butt. He obviously chooses to find and steal the scepter, but along the way he finds out there is a lot more going on in the world. The Carnage squad gives Styx a choice, retrieve a magical scepter or face death. This group sets up a meeting with Styx and tricks him into helping. When Shards of Darkness begins, Styx is happy stealing things around his town while avoiding the new group of human soldiers, the Carnage Squat. They hide in every nook and cranny and a new group of humans has been sent to stop the goblins. This plague of goblins runs the country side. It is not just one goblin that rises from the amber, but a whole army of goblins emerges from the amber. Styx was just a clone of the real Styx and he commits suicide to only emerge from the Heart of the Tree,which rest in the Akenash, and is made up of magical amber. Try and stay with me here while I give you a brief synopsis of the first game. Check out the pretty new levels in Styx: Shards of Darkness.

Spoiler Alert – Styx gets out, and causes some major damage that have some far-reaching effects. In Styx’s first adventure, ‘Master of Shadows,’ he was imprisoned in the Akenash, a prison unlike any other in the land. Barely standing three feet tall, Styx is a slimy goblin with an addiction problem.

To start with, he is a small little thing. The foul-mouthed goblin is back and this time it is personal in Styx: Shards of Darkness.Īnyone unfamiliar with the series should know this about Styx he is the best anti-hero in the last few years. Styx is back in this stealth-action sequel and Cyanide Games has done a great job of introducing new gameplay elements into the series.
