Grand Chase Chronicles/Stages

Unlike other Fantendo pages, the entirety of the stages will be represented with their own heading. The stages are planned to be written where it explains what happens in the stage from start to end. Most of the stages will consist of waves of enemies taking place in seperate areas, while at the end there's a boss. Some stages will instead have a single boss, but with several forms or multiple bosses.
Note that the way this sub-page is designed is subject to change. Also note that "New Chaser" means that completing this stage unlocks a new party member to play as.
==Open World Areas==
The game incorporates a hybrid between a linear stage structure and a free-roam open world. The linear stage structure is used for progression through the storyline while the open world is only for sidequests and various other secrets as well. Out of the six open world areas, only Bermesiah and Archimedia incorporate cities with NPCs to talk to and side-quests, while others include some NPCs and sidequests but not as much as either of Bermesiah or Archimedia. You can fast travel to another continent via going to the Start menu and going to the Fast Travel menu. Note that there is also a day and night system in the open world areas, which also affects what NPCs are active, what hunts/Unique Monsters are available and what sidequests you can take as well. Some sidequests require nighttime while some require daytime.
===Bermesiah===
Upon completing the first stage, the first open world areas of Bermesiah that are unlocked are Serdin Kingdom and the outskirts of Serdin. From the tower, you can see that the other areas are covered by clouds, meaning that they are locked and cannot be explored yet. To get rid of the clouds, the player must play through the stages to unlock their free-roam capabiltiies. 
Upon completing Elven Forest, you gain access to the Kanavan Kingdom, and after beating Gaikoz's Castle, the final stage, the entirety of Bermesiah can be explored freely.
===Silver Land===
===Ellia===
===Xenia===
Note that as Xenia ia floating continent, falling into the sky will result in you being teleported back up seamlessly via magic.
Xenia is divided into several realms of the gods, which are visited in their respected stages and then opened up afterwards. As the protection of Xenia is applied, the characters will not suffer ice damage or fire damage, even on the Altar of Judgment or The Wyrm's Maw. 
Via looking down from the continent of Xenia, you can see the continents of Aernas; Bermesiah, Silver Land, Ellia, etc.
===Alcubra===
===Archimedia===
Archimedia starts out from the west side where the dwarven kingdom is and ends at the east side where the elven kingdom is in. To gain access to the Thunder Hammer City's free-roam, all of the Dwarven arc stages must be completed, and to continue on to the elven kingdom, Grandiel's arc (Wizard's Labyrinth, Underworld Train) must be completed. 
Within the throne of Zeruel, you can see from the windows a panorama view of Archimedia. You can see the blue volcano where the hidden city of Kounat is in, and the city of Thunder Hammer as well. The only area that cannot be freely explored is the Hidden City of Kounat, which is only accessed via airship.

After dying from Uno's attacks while trying to stop Uno from attacking Sieghart, Elesis wakes up in what appears to be the afterlife. Elesis is lost and unable to find her way, but after running endlessly (wait 12 seconds at the beginning and there's no music) she comes across Elscud. Elscud is thought to also have died as well, but as soon as Elesis realizes through his violent and cruel words he isn't that the Elscud that she remembers, though he tries to hide them as the smartest he can.

3 weeks later, the Sieghart family remeet, with Elesis's mother Penelope and younger brother Elsword appearing as well. Elesis then walks towards the memorial stone where Elesis had abandoned her sword, and then sheds a tear, fading into black and then forming the "GRAND CHASE CHRONICLES" logo before starting the credits. 
===Credits===
The credits run on two columns with sections for both Nightingale Labs and KOG staff. Unlike other game credits which is mostly just a black screen and white text. Grand Chase Chronicles jazzes it up via including an opening end credits where it represents scenes with the Grand Chase characters but in a chibi artstyle.
The second part of the credits, the scrolling end credits, is represented in multiple columns unlike other game credits to keep the longevity down. The music used for the credits consists of the ending vocal song, then a orchestral version of Hope, and then various other orchestral soundtracks. The background during the credits consists of memories of the past Grand Chase adventures, showing heroic scenes and even emotional scenes as well. 
After the credits roll ending with the logos, notices, etc and then the Chase Ward with the message "LongLOVETheChase", the Nightingale Labs logo and then the KoG logo appears afterward, using the logo sounds from Grand Chase and then a "The End" writen in cursive but with the typing sounds from the original Grand Chase.

==Trivia==
*As stated in the mainpage, several of the free-roam areas are reused for the actual storyline stages.
**For example, The Assault of Kanavan reuses the Kanavan kingdom models from the free-roam zone.
*There are several "gameplay and story segregations" excluding replayability.
**Although Mari is kidnapped by Duel at the end of Chapter 6 and isn't saved until the end of Chapter 8, she does not leave the party at all though she has no story-related dialogue in Chapters 7 and 8.
**Although Elesis dies and only taken into heaven in "The Death of the Grand Chase", other 3 players can still be joined in, although they are restricted to the Angel costume and you're not forced to bring Elesis. This may be for co-op. 
*There are only a few stages to have "independent" enemies, which means they'll only not just attack the other enemy faction but also the player faction. For example, the Underworld Train's mini-boss not just fights the players but also the enemies around it as well. 
*There are several easter eggs in the open world/free-roam areas:
**Bermesiah: There is a stained glass painting depicting the three deities of Aernas; Ernasis, Lisnar, and Amenia in the palace of Kanavan. One optional area is Ranada Forest, where the Violet Mage Guild is located and  The Ruby Knights Guild building makes an appearance in Kanavan. Eryuell Island, the home of Lire can be seen, but cannot be accessed.
***In terms of NPCs, Grand Mage Serre and Mystix of the Violet Mages, Bestair, the Guild Manager, Arthur Larryschmidt, and Gerald make an appearance via sidequests and exploration.
**Archimedia: One of the quarters in Zeruel's city tree has the inscription "Grandiel" on them, though it is unenterable and through the windows are notes about the Klara Libri and the Soul Stone. One enterable quarters is Dahlia's, which contains notes to why Dahlia sided with Ashtaroth.
*As the game has 93 stages, the following is a list of the stage numbers where Chasers are unlocked;
**Ryan: Stage 4
**Lime: Stage 6
**Ronan: Stage 7
**Jin: Stage 9
**Lass: Stage 21
**Amy: Stage 29
**Sieghart: Stage 31
**Mari: Stage 33
**Ley and Rufus: Stage 42
**Dio: Stage 46
**Edel: Stage 58
**Asin: Stage 65
**Rin: Stage 67
**Zero: Stage 71
**Veigas: Stage 79
**Uno: Stage 85
*So far, there have been only five Grand Chase members that have been fought as the main bosses; Lass, Asin, Sieghart, Veigas, and Uno. 
**If including mini-bosses, Mari would also count.
*While Serdin, Kanavan, Duel, Edna, and Grandiel use the same style of enemy AI as the Grand Chase such as being able to Chain Burst together and using up to four SP skills, they are not playable.
**As of the case with the Expansion Pass; Duel and Edna are not playable with the 3 of them unlocked from Birth of Darkness.
*Some of the stages are not based on the mainline dungeons from the original Grand Chase, but also Event/Hero dungeons as well.
**The Crucible and Sanctum of Destruction Elite Stages are based on the Hero Dungeons of the same name from the original Grand Chase.
**The Land of Judgment Elite Dungeon is based on the same score attack dungeon from the original Grand Chase and the World Boss from the mobile sequel. 
**The Underworld Train stage is based on the Monster Train 301 Event Dungeon, which later on became reused for the storyline of Grand Chase: Dimensional Chaser.
