◆ Exploration of routes by caravan
The only lifeline for humanity in the world of "GOD EATER 3" is the "ashland treader", also known as the "caravan". In the wake of an incident caused by the ash region activation phenomenon ``ash storm,'' the protagonists temporarily board Chrysanthemum, one of the ``caravans.''
The protagonists learn from Ilda, the caravan's owner, that the caravan lost its sensitive radar carrier necessary for navigation due to the ash storm, and that it is necessary to rebuild the route that was destroyed.The protagonists assume the role of the caravan. I will ask for compensation instead. It was the first step towards achieving the goal shared by the main characters.
By sortieing to the target point and ensuring safety, the caravan gradually opens up lost routes within the ash region and advances toward its destination. As the protagonists complete missions, the beacon signals on the map are connected, and the caravan's route is gradually rebuilt.
◆New character: Fim (CV. Rina Endo)
A mysterious girl that the protagonists meet while helping to develop a sea route. He was present at the scene where a caravan container was attacked by Ashland Aragami. It has a somewhat inhuman appearance, with horns protruding from its forehead. The encounter with this girl becomes an opportunity for the main characters' story to take a big turn...
