Recap for Limbus Company (Currently W.I.P.; expect updates as new chapters are released)
Inferno
Canto I: The Outcast: Having rescued Dante, Limbus Company makes their first stop at the ruins of a destroyed L Corp branch in District 4, with the help of a former L Corp employee named Yuri. The office is full of both Abnormalities and remnants of G Corp who survived the Smoke War. Furthermore, the Golden Bough inside begins to resonate with Gregor, forcing him and the other Sinners to live through a looping simulation of Gregor's time in the Smoke War. Eventually, the Sinners find their way to a giant apple, an Abnormality that has consumed the Golden Bough. After supposedly defeating it, the apple eats Yuri instead, and Gregor is unable to kill it. Instead, a rival group kills the apple and Yuri inside, taking the Golden Bough for themselves and leaving the LCB with nothing.
Canto II: The Unloving: The Sinners have no time to rest as the bus heads to District 10, where another Golden Bough is reportedly offered as the prize in a card game at a casino run by J Corp. The LCB has sent two other employees, Effie and Saude, ahead to scout out the casino and sneak the Sinners in as staff. Unfortunately, Don Quixote throws off their plan by trying to save a shop owner and earning the ire of the Tingtang Gang, a group of thugs who work out of a nearby junkyard.
As the situation spirals out of control, the Sinners end up slaughtering the entire gang, so Effie and Saude revise the plan and have the Sinners disguise themselves as the Tingtang to enter the card game. However, Don Quixote again gets excited and accidentally blows the LCB group's cover while wasting their lucky tattoo, forcing the Sinners to fight their way through casino security and various gangsters. However, once at the top of the casino, Rodion meets with her former colleague, a man named Sonya, and is forced to reckon with her own past as the Golden Bough begins to resonate with her.
Canto III: The Unconfronting: Having barely succeeded in collecting the Golden Bough from the ice castle, Vergilius guides the sinners to District 11 to track down another Golden Bough. Vergilius tries to escort the Sinners through the checkpoint, but Don Quixote's actions force them into another fight, and a great K Corp-affiliated Fixer named Siegfried kills all the Sinners (sans Dante) as punishment. Once past the checkpoint, the Sinners discover the Golden Bough is located in the village of Calw, which was Sinclair's hometown. While Don is punished for her multiple mistakes, Sinclair is forced to reckon with his own past as Calw has been taken over by Negel und Hammer, a violent group of inquisitors from N Corp, led by a sadistic woman named Kromer.
Canto IV: The Unchanging: After barely surviving their battle with Kromer and acquiring the Golden Bough, Vergilius reveals that there is another Golden Bough in District 11, this time somewhere within K Corp. After the events of Hell's Chicken, the Sinners meet with Dongrang, who promises to give Faust and the Sinners the Golden Bough as part of a contract. However, the K Corp offices are attacked by the "Technology Liberation Alliance," terrorists who hijack machines and use them against the K Corp staff and the Sinners. While the Sinners fight against both of them, Yi Sang reveals his past with Dongrang and other current K Corp officers, as the other Sinners are forced to play the parts of his former group League of Nine, and eventually the secret behind K Corp's Singularity is revealed.
Canto V: The Evil Defining: Mephistopheles' boat mode is finally completed as the Sinners sail across the Great Lake. Very quickly, the crew get an example of The Laws of the Great Lake that vary from section to section as they barely avoid being eaten by a giant sea creature. Ishmael finally emerges from her room and leads the Sinners through giant U Corp ships to the Marlin Portship, a floating island made of shipping containers, with hopes of finding the coordinates to the floating L Corp branch and the Golden Bough inside.
After fighting through a group of Twinhook Pirates and rescuing a member of the LCCB team held hostage, Ishmael only becomes more driven in her desire for vengeance against Captain Ahab, the woman who led her crew to their deaths while trying to hunt the Pallid Whale. Her thirst for revenge gets even worse when the Sinners locate an offshore drilling platform that served as the L Corp. branch office until it was swallowed whole by the Pallid Whale and then spit out, and find out from a strange person known only as Rim that the same whale swallowed the Golden Bough. However, the Sinners find themselves now fighting against The Middle Finger, The Pallid Whale, and eventually, the remnants of the Pequod's crew, commanded by Captain Ahab herself.
Canto VI: The Heartbreaking: After receiving a makeover from Hong Lu and Rodion, Heathcliff enters the Wuthering Heights manor, both to respond to Cathy's invitation, and for Limbus Company's search for a Golden Bough said to be stored somewhere inside. However, once inside, Heathcliff discovers that Cathy is dead, and Fixers from the Oufi Association have arrived to execute her Last Will and Testament between Heathcliff, Edgar Linton, and Hindley Earnshaw. But when lightning strikes the manor, the Sinners discover that Wuthering Heights holds more secrets than just the Golden Bough. A plot involving human experimentation, with ex-Ring members, one of Yi Sang's former colleagues, and Heathcliff himself, all fighting over what appears to be Catherine's coffin.
