Differences from Primary Campaign [ ]

Unlike in Drifter's campaign, the Alternate Out-of-stater does not have a prologue cutscene at the start of the game, and will simply wake upwards in The Guardian'due south habitation. The Alternate Out-of-stater does not appear to suffer the same sickness equally the drifter, as she does not have a constant cough and is not haunted by visions of Judgement later on gathering 4 modules in a new surface area. She does, however, yet fight Sentence at the end of the game, and coughs blood in a brief pre-boxing cutscene. The Judgement fight gain normally, although she uses a different finishing move, slicing Judgement in half instead.

Subsequently the fight ends, she does not destroy theImmortal Cell, and simply walks out of the Immortal Prison cell bedchamber equally the game ends. In this ending, it is unclear if the disease on the world has been lifted, since the Immortal Prison cell remains intact.

The Alt Out-of-stater also tin can see the Jackal in the iv zones, the same fashion The Drifter can.

In the Special Edition (page needed) version of Hyper Light Out-of-stater, Alternate Drifter tin can detect The Drifter'southward skeleton outside the Tower (page needed), where the Boomerang Sword (page needed) can be found. (more citation is needed)
