During the first instance when she launches her attack, the Commander focuses on helping various areas of the city evacuate.

Of course, before too long, Scarlet launches her attack on Lion’s Arch, and havoc ensues. Questions about how she managed the alliances she did have always been one of the main criticism of the storyline with her, so it was really good to see that expanded on a bit. For one thing, I don’t remember it ever being explicitly stated before how Scarlet got the various factions to work together, but in this update, there is an actual explanation given. I might vaguely remember this sequence existing before, but I don’t believe it was voiced or as extensive.

Some items we gathered before we knew Scarlet existed at all. For example, there’s a whole sequence in the Dead End (Marjory’s Bar) where we review items and information we’ve gathered while dealing with Scarlet. There was much more dialogue in this update than I remember regarding Scarlet’s possible motives. If it’s been a while since you’ve done that or you haven’t tried it since it was brought back, it would be a good refresher as a lot of the conversation revolves around that fight and what the gang has learned from it and Scarlet’s other endeavors. If you want the authentic experience, join a public or private group to fight the marionette before starting episode 5. The Battle for Lion’s Arch picks up right after the conclusion of the marionette fight as we explore a lair of Scarlet’s, located near the Priory’s headquarters.
