Stages[]
Shadow of the Empire is an exploration event in which players had to clear an area map in sucessive stages to obtain all the rewards, while seeing cutscenes about scenes from the past. The map was shared between all stages with the entire map being opened at the most difficult stage (ELT). Any chest opened in one stage would remain open in all following stages. Lapis could not be used to continue after a Game Over.
