Into the Fog was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Eivor searched near the village of Tuam in the Kingdom of Connacht for the person known only as as "The Cursed".
Eivor arrived in Tuam to search for The Cursed's cottage.
Eivor began her search for the cottage and found its entrance. However, the door was locked.
Eivor looked around and found the cottage key on a windowpane of another cottage. Eivor opened the door and investigated the cottage, which contained a note.
Eivor searched for the cavern's entrance and found the entrance at the bottom of a pit. Entering the cavern, Eivor fought and killed a bear while venturing through the cavern.
After defeating the bear, Eivor progressed through her search and found a druid lair within the cavern.
From her investigation, Eivor overheard prisoners screaming.
Eivor found the door, but it was locked. Through further searching, Eivor found the key, opened the door, and talked with the prisoner.
The prisoner left.
Eivor kept investigating and found a note near an animal carcass on a table.
Eivor came across another note on a table on a higher level.
Eivor gathered all the clue she could find.
Eivor left the cavern as quickly as possible.
Eivor went to the south of the village and saw Ciara waiting.
Eivor spoke with Ciara.
Eivor and Ciara took their leave.
Eivor and Ciara arrived in Carnagan.
Eivor and Ciara look for any tracks. Eivor quickly found and examined such tracks nearby.
Eivor looked around and saw the púca on the trail in front of her.
Eivor and Ciara followed the púca across a torn-down bridge.
Eivor and Ciara followed the creature through a sudden fog.
Eivor and Ciara were nearing closer to the púca.
Eivor and Ciara stopped at the last tracks of the púca, only to find it nowhere in sight. Suddenly, the púca leapt at Eivor from its hiding place, this time in the form of a towering wolf-like biped with deer antlers. Grabbing Eivor by the neck, the púca threw her to the ground and roared as Ciara and a dazed Eivor readied themselves for battle.
After injuring the púca, Eivor noticed the creature changed back into the form of a wolf and ran away.
Ciara spoke in an urgent whisper.
Eivor and Ciara followed the púca's tracks all the way to Lackanscaul. Within the area, a ritual was being performed as Eivor and Ciara entered to confront The Cursed, who was heard to be a woman.
At that moment, Eivor figured out that The Cursed was the High Druid Sétnae.
Eivor and Ciara fought Sétnae, her acolytes, and her púca. During the fight, the assembled druids shouted at Ciara.
Eivor and Ciara defeated all the cultists and the púca, then confronted Sétnae, who was fatally wounded. Furious that her plan had failed and despite her own injuries, Sétnae stood to look at Eivor.
Eivor punched Sétnae square in the face and she fell against a block of stone. Sétnae looked towards Ciara next.
Sétnae succumbed to her injuries and died in front of Eivor and Ciara.
Ciara left as Eivor recovered The Cursed's amber shards and two more clues regarding the Ollamh Druid called "The Oak" and the member known as "The Deer." Afterwards, Eivor traveled to Lough Glendallon to rejoin with Ciara. Eivor and Ciara met and stared at the waterfall.
Ciara undressed down to her delicates as Eivor smirked and turned away.
Ciara walked further into the pond.
Eivor undressed down to her delicates as Ciara watched.
Eivor neared closer to a smiling Ciara. Both Eivor and Ciara looked at each other and then started to kiss and embrace each other in the pond. After some time, Eivor woke up dressed near a log on the ground.
Eivor learned that "The Cursed" was the druidic priestess Sétnae, and killed her at a druidic site south of Lough Tuam used by the Children of Danu for ritual practices.
