A girl named Amalie lives in a remote village after she lost her parents to a witch. Her younger sister Milm is the only family she has left. One day, Milm suddenly disappears and Amalie eagerly searches for her.

When she is about to give up, Milm shows up again, covered in mud and with the witch's eye on her forehead.Upon the beginning of the game's events, Milm is seen being operated on by the Weiss Ritter, an anti-witch organization, to cure the Witch Disease. It seems to fail and result in her death, but then a witch named Chelka awakens in Milm's body and destroys the entire building. This also causes Milm's Hundred Knight doll to come alive as well, and begin fighting for Chelka. When Amalie discovers that Milm is alive and Chelka is in her body, the two of them move into the abandoned Durga Castle and Hundred Knight starts obeying Amalie's orders as well. They forge an uneasy relationship, with Amalie unwilling to hurt Chelka, and Chelka unable to harm Amalie lest Milm come to the surface.The Hundred Knight's exploits defeating the witch Isabel are credited to Amalie, causing her to become a Holy Valkyrie. However, when Amalie realizes that the Valkyries are murdering the children with the Witch Disease that the WR cannot operate on, she starts to doubt her mission.

She is sent to defeat Prim, the world's strongest witch, which the Hundred Knight does successfully, but they find records of misdeeds by the WR in Prim's castle. This leads Amalie to infiltrate the WR and discover that they have been covering up the fact that there is no cure for the Witch Disease, and she is actually an artificial witch who was never 'cured'.This causes her to be forced to fight one of the Valkyries, defeating her. For this, she is branded a traitor and sentenced to death, though she surrenders willingly, losing hope that Milm will ever return to normal.

However, Chelka rescues her. They defeat another of the Valkyries and, later, go after Theodore, the leader of the WR, though they are stopped by the final Valkyrie, Gabrielle, who reveals herself to be Francesca, the first witch, and actually a 'Holy Maiden'. They attempt to kidnap Milm, whose third eye is actually one of the three eyes of the all-powerful witch Rangda, and use the eyes to rebirth the world into a twisted utopia, but they are stopped with the help of Prim. However, the end of the world continues regardless.Chelka and the others realize that the world has been going in an endless cycle for thousands of years, and discover a supply of mana that was removed from the cycle. They decide to absorb this 'Manathree' and fight Rangda directly to break the cycle and prevent the world's destruction.

The Hundred Knight succeeds in defeating Rangda's illusions and Chelka destroys Rangda herself. They realize that Rangda created the cycle and isolated the world from the to prevent the godlike interdimensional being, Niike, from destroying it as he did once before. Chelka decides to return the world to the multiverse, and all the other characters, living and dead, are reborn in a new world as non-witches.Development The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 was first revealed in May 2015 through a short video in which Nippon Ichi Software confirmed that the game was in development.

When awakened, their original personality disappears and is reconstructed in a distorted form. Therefore, they have strong destructive impulses and brutality, and given they wield mighty power at their own desires, they are feared in the same way one fears a natural disaster. Chelka, the main character, is an witch whose awakening was incomplete.■ CharactersPrim (voiced by Satomi Akesaka)The strongest awakened witch, regarded as dangerous by Weiss Ritter. She has an extremely strong desire to rule, attacks surrounding towns and villages, and controls people through the power of her third eye.Isabelle (voiced by Yuu Kobayashi)An awakened witch with a lewd personality who enjoys pleasure more than anything else. Her breath is poisonous and it is said that those who have seen the eye on her forehead lose their sense of reason.■ Facets and SkillsBy switching between armors called “facets,” the abilities and appearance of Hundred Knight will change. There are a total of six facets, each with different skills and fighting styles.

You can set three facets in advance at your base, which you can switch between at will on the field based on enemies and your play style.Wonder KnightA balanced-type facet that excels in offensive and defensive balance, and fights with speed to defeat enemies. Its active skill is “Crack Ground,” which swings its sword downward and fires a slash attribute shock-wave forward.Power FortressA small fortress-like facet that specializes in high strength and physical defense. It excels in Hammer use. Its active skill is “Round Smash,” which strikes its hammer at the ground for a powerful hit that blows back surrounding enemies.Marginal GazeA facet that specializes in staves and spears.

Although its hits are weak, it is strong in that it clean sweep enemies with high-power awakening attack skills. Its active skills include “Acheron,” which shoots ice bullets that slow down the enemy’s movement and is convenient for stopping quick enemies, and “Savyasachi,” which fires magic bullets with fine induction performance.Shinobi the AssassinA facet that specializes in covert actions. It has low HP, but high ATK, and depending on the techniques you use, you’ll surely be able to defeat your enemies. Its active skills include “Parhelion,” which creates three copies of Hundred Knight to fight alongside, and “Heat Haze,” which lets you forcibly trigger a Mystical Dodge.Trick ScreamerAlthough weak at attacking and defending, it specializes in the Tochka use. It has various skills, including Tochka strengthening and status ailment-inducing attacks.

Its main skill is “Dead or Alive,” a status ailment skill that inflicts surrounding enemies with sleep damage, and “Gibberish & Bubblish,” which fires hearts that charm the enemies it hits.Noble RaptorA facet that specializes in ATK and weapon use. However, since much of its resistances and its DEF are low, it is intended for the somewhat expert players. Its active skills include “Triumphant Return to Death,” which triggers a “Berserker” state that triples ATK but halves DEF, and “Persistent Fighting Spirit,” which consumes Giga Calories to instantly restore HP.■ Third EyeUnleash the power hidden within Hundred Knight. By activating the “Third Eye,” you can obtain a tremendous power-up effect. It deals damage to surrounding enemies the moment it’s triggered, and increases abilities such as movement speed, attack speed, and attack power. Your “Magical Gauge,” which is necessary to trigger the Third Eye, will accumulate as you use standard attacks, active skills, and mystical dodges.■ TochkaTocka skills embody and release Hundred Knight’s remaining powers, and represent the power of 99 knights.

In The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2, Tochka can be summoned by setting them as an active skill. There are seven types of Tochka in total. Whether they’re attack-based or decoys, they are the reassuring allies of Hundred Knight.The number displayed above “Tochka” on the lower right of the screen represents your remaining elements, which are required to summon Tochka. The number of elements a Tochka costs can be found in its name.

Consumed elements can be used again over time.Type-1 Mini-KnightAn autonomous battle-type Tochka. Up to eight can be summoned at the same time. After they’re summoned, they’ll automatically attack while following the Hundred Knight.Type-8 Time BombA time bomb-type Tochka. It deals explosion damage involving multiple enemies, but you should be cautious as Hundred Knight and Tochka are also damaged.Type 10 DialloA Tochka that deals slash attribute damage to enemies from a long distance in a boomerang-like orbit.

It can be re-summoned in short time and is used as a projectile weapon.Type 16 DekoimoA decoy-type Tochka with a somewhat hateful smile. It attracts the attention of nearby enemies, so it is convenient in situations such as when taking distance from the enemy.Type 42 CasserioA stationary turret-type Tochka. Up to two can be summoned at the same time, and will fire high-power magic shells in three directions at regular intervals.NEW: Type 24 Cherry BombA Dekoimo with a Time Bomb on its head. It attracts enemies, and when its stamina becomes zero, explodes.
