Gripping Freedom is a story event. A loyalty character joins you at the start, and progressing through the story unlocks free quests and bosses. The December 2016 iteration of this event uses the Renewal format for old, reissued events.

This event is part of the Society and Foe story arc which includes: Footprints on Sacred Ground, A Peace of the Pie, Platinum Sky, Violet Violence, and Right Behind You. This specific event's plot is also continued in Poacher's Day.

An azure swordswoman seeking opportunity sets foot on glacial plains, an endless stretch of tundra besieged by raging blizzards.

But what awaits her is a land consumed by a demented obsession over absolute freedom.

She spirals into the madness, leaving behind only bloodcurdling screams.

For new players

Make sure you complete all the quests, since each chapter, free quest, and raid boss awards 50 Crystals on first-time completion. Complete the loyalty character's loyalty bar to keep him permanently, which also unlocks his Fate Episode for more Crystals.

Obtain as many Damascus Crystals from the event as possible. They are a good long-term investment for the future. There are 3 that you can buy from the event's shop. You need 10 Damascus Crystals to create 1 Damascus Ingot.

Spiked Baseball Bat is notable SR weapon to keep from this event. The Sword Master class can use this weapon to deal plain damage with Awakening Blade. This is useful for farming stage 3-1 in Co-op (a.k.a "slime blasting"). If you plan on farming this event, refrain from buying Spiked Baseball Bat from the event shop since it can also drop from the event's bosses at an uncommon rate.

New Character

Skull temporarily joins you after clearing chapter 2, episode 3 of the event story. Earn 750 loyalty by winning quests and raids with him in the party to keep him after the event ends.
