I think this quest done what it set out to do. Put fear in me and let me feel what it's like to be an ordinary Garlean soldier who can't use magic but have to contend with you, the warrior of light who can easily mow down any adversaries.


Gameplay wise it's only seems difficult because you as the player are thrust into it without knowing where to go first so you'd naturally try to head south where the broken Magitech is. It's become clear what you need to do if you trial and error it.


My only qualm with this quest is that I wish I didn't have to start again from the very begining of the long serie of cutscenes.


Of course once you know what to do then it'll only take you about 7min to complete if that.
