AI Limit Hagios Patir - Upper Level & The Sphere

Hagios Patir – Upper Level is the twelfth area of the game. This area includes the ends of the questlines for Shirley, Vikas, and Feylia. It is also where you will determine which ending you can potentially earn, so be careful with progression once you reach the end of the area.
