When Andy begins investigating Myles's death, he falls into a hidden crypt beneath some castle ruins. There, he finds a mystical 13th-century suit of armor haunted by the ghost of Sir William, the knight who once wore it. With Sir William as his spectral mentor, Andy must master the armor's power, confront the monstrous force that killed Myles, and uncover the dark secret behind its summoning.
