The group has made their way to Altissia and the Astral Leviathan has been summoned by Lunafreya. While this is happening, the Empire of Niflheim attacks the city, and Ignis is separated from his friends Gladio and Prompto. He works his way across the city, entirely focused on reaching Noctis.
On the way, he re-takes several of the city districts single-handedly and has Gladio on hand to ensure that he keeps his head in the interim (here we learn just how much Noct’s safety means to him). He eventually commandeers a small speedboat in an effort to get closer to the Altar of the Tidemother where Lunafreya and Noctis are, but is knocked into the water by a falling Imperial airship. Caligo, a Brigadier General in the Niflheim army, taunts him and fires on him while he tries to get back to the speedboat, demanding that he surrender then and there. Ignis, as Ignis is wont to do, refuses and is then chased by Caligo in a mech until the boat is hit by a missile.
Ignis is still further from the Alter than he wants to be, and he is then drawn into a battle against Caligo and several Imperial soldiers. The soldiers are defeated and the mech falls, but the fight has left Ignis too exhausted in that moment to do anything against Caligo himself despite the other man’s injured state. He doesn’t have to, however, as he finds an unexpected ally in Lunafreya’s brother, Ravus Nox Fleuret.
Together, the head to the Altar, Ravus in search of his sister and Ignis in search of his friend. He learns that for Ravus, family comes before his loyalty to the Empire, and he quickly turned against them when Lunafreya’s life was put in danger. However, although their interests have aligned, Ignis knows he cannot trust Ravus to be entirely on his side.
When they reach the Altar, Ignis finds one of Lunafreya’s dogs - Pryna - dying nearby. This proves to be an ill omen, as moments later Ravus finds his sister dead on the Altar with Noctis barely alive beside her. As Pryna dies, Ignis is given a vision of Noctis’ future and the sacrifice that will have to be made to save the world from the encroaching darkness. ’The blood price must be paid.’
Seeing that his sister gave the last of her life to save Noctis, Ravus flies into a rage. He attempts to kill Noctis, but is stopped by Ignis, and the two of them fight until they are both simply too exhausted to continue. Ravus then calmly mourns his sister and the future she had given up for the sake of her destiny, and the two of them see an image of the Oracle (Luna) floating over the water in front of them (’Even in death, the Oracle does not rest.’).
Finally, Gladiolus arrives on the scene, but Ravus knows immediately that something is wrong. He is correct, as the new arrival is quickly revealed to be not Gladio, but none other than Ardyn Izunia, the orchestrator of all the suffering seen so far. Ignis is knocked down and pinned to the ground by Imperial soldiers, briefly knocked out by a boot to the head from Ardyn, and when he regains consciousness the man attempts to persuade him over to his side. As he looks about to kill the unconscious Noctis, Ravus steps in, and as Ardyn is distracted by dealing with him, the Ring of the Lucii rolls out of Noctis’ hand.
Once again, Ardyn tries to tempt Ignis to go with him. Ignis fights back, knocking away the soldiers holding him down and getting to his feet with the last of his strength. He tells Ardyn that he swore an oath to protect Noctis, no matter what, and with the Ring of the Lucii in his hand, he--
Doesn’t quite get it onto his finger because that’s where I’m cutting him off.
TL;DR; Ignis now has a wrist-mounted grappling hook which he took from the body of a dead Imperial soldier. He has fought his way across the entire city of Altissia mostly alone, been blown out of a speedboat by a missile, fought Ravus to secure Noctis’ safety, been kicked around by Ardyn, and knows far more about everything than he would have ever wanted to know thanks to a dog giving him future-visions. He’s also half a second away from blinding with a magical ring himself like the devoted idiot he is.
