First, Adri will join the cast of Cris Tales characters. She is classified as the Inventor and acts as a summoner. Modus mentioned mines and turrets as her specialities. Her and her mechanical dungeon come up at the end of the game. Expect them around St. Clarity. The new ending unlocks if you complete the new content.
