I just wanted to apologize to BlackbeltBobman for partaking in the torturous Ancient Cave quest in the Lufia II thread. I, myself, am trying to do the same and I nearly destroyed my laptop last night after I got my FOURTH fucking twist jewel. I do have 4 Iris(h) treasures though, but what is that worth, my sanity, no.

I'm sorry about that, man am I sorry.

I'm doing the AC in this one too, although there are no Iris treasures, this time it's 200 levels. However things might be slightly different this time. . .


Here's the cave. I couldn't go in before, it wouldn't let me. There's a guard but now that we have Aima we can confront him.


See what I mean?

Master has to be okay, otherwise I won't forgive you!

Heh, if you really want to save him, beat me first!


Did no one proof read this game?


slightly more powerful versions of the Garland Gangbangers.


I say "slightly" because they're still fucking easy. Marco does like 300-400 damage per hit. But then again he's massively overpowered. Let's go into this dungeon!


This is a move for Aima (duh) that does more damage to magical enemies. So wizards maybe? No clue.


I'm so confused by this IP. . . three of me people could learn it, I think Marco, Seena, and Dei, and I'm not completely sure what it does. I think it uses light on all enemies? I used it, it took most of my IP bar, and it did like almost no damage. Weird.


Instant kill move for Dei (because he's a fucking ninja)


This is a weird move. Marco and Dei can learn it, and it makes them faster. Completely useless for Dei, although maybe useful for Marco. Dei is already the fastest.


There are also some pussy Garland subordinates who suck and die in one hit walking around down here, along with some of the enemies I encountered in Laphon cave.


This dungeon is pretty short, only like 7 or 8 floors or so. A lot more forgiving than the Laphon Cave.


Hooray, a save point (duh) but I mostly like the chests that had a Revive, Life Seed, and a Fake Ring (SPD+10, can cast fake, is decent). Also there were a Revive and a CharredNewt hidden in boxes or something down here.


Here I confront the head of the Garland Gang who is perhaps named Garland who knows?

Hmph. So you finally made it here, Aima.

Where is Master?

First give me the Scroll! That old man wouldn't tell me where the scroll is, no matter how much I torture him. So I decided to have you bring it to me instead, aren't I brilliant?

More like an idiot.

Kidnapping is for losers.

I'll bet you don't even have half a brain.

W-w-what are you guys doing?! Are you saying I'm stupid?!

Oh, you finally caught on.

Grr! You'll pay for this!

100% what was in the game. They sure rip him a new asshole.


He has some of the slightly stronger gangbangers with him. He has a move that reduces your HP to 1, but other than that he's not hard. Also he can summon more gangbangers if you kill them. This fight was annoying because for some reason they kept targeting Seena so she died and every time I revived her she would die the next turn, before she could use X-Absorb. I healed her but even then her piss defense didn't help at all! I could've won faster but I kept reviving her so it took a while. The point is I kicked his butt.


Eventually, at least. Fucking jerk! By the way, this is what a typical Aima level up looks like:


her base STR is like 150. Her weapons mostly add to her speed. And jesus christ her HP. She's like a Chansey or a Wigglytuff or something.


This is why you try to fight with a clear head, and not seething with rage.


Oh yeah, there was a locked door down here, presumably where the Master is being held.

That was good. You angered him on purpose and made him act rashly.

Huh?

We only said what we were thinking.

Ha ha ha ha you guys are funny. Let's go save Master.



Of course I would be safe. What took you?

My apologies. . . but I am truly happy that you are safe.

Pfft, something like this wouldn't finish me!

Okay, well, let's go. I'll carry you.

Fool! I don't need you to treat me like a helpless old man!

BOOM!

What's going on?!

I heard something explode!

It was towards the city.

Let's head back quickly!

How the hell would Dei know that? We're really deep underground. I can see them feeling the vibrations of the explosion, but. . . well maybe hear it. Come on, even ninjas couldn't tell the direction of a noise on the surface from deep underground. . . right?

Anyway knowing my luck the boats or something probably blew up and I'll have to do some shitty fetch quest to be able to use them ag

HOLY SHIT okay there's only one gigantic faggot that I know who could pull this off. And he happens to be standing in the middle of the town still!



There is no reason. . . Destruction is my destiny. That is the reason for my existence.

Just shut up! How dare you do this to my city!

Oh? And what will you do about it?

Don't underestimate the power of the Jigen-Ryu!

I've had enough of you! We'll end this once and for all!

Destruction is your destiny? That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard!

You can't just destroy a town for no reason!

Let's do it!

And they attack!


And fail spectacularly!



No. . . Jigen-Ryu has no effect. . .

Aima, you are not strong enough to defeat this foe yet.

It seems that wisdom really does come with age. But you're too old. Maybe if you were younger, you might be able to scratch my armor.

Don't underestimate me! Behold, the ultimate Jigen-Ryu attack!

I've never seen that form before!

Watch closely Aima! Jigen-Ryu final attack! Energy Fist!

POW! BAM! SMACK! BIFF! ZOCK! PEW PEW!

Look! Gades' forehead is bleeding!!!

Did he do it?!


apparently that isn't Gades blood.

That impressed me. As a reward, this city is spared from destruction. . . for now.


I apologize, this update is full of

The Jigen-Ryu final attack. . . I know pass it on to you.

M-Master! Please don't leave me!

Do not be sad Aima, you must be strong and kind.

M-Master!!!!



I couldn't resist, okay?!



rest in peace. Do you know where that man is?!

Yeah. The Tower of Death is his base.

Thanks.

What, are you planning on going alone?!

Yes. This is my problem.

No, it's OUR problem.

We all have scores to settle with him!

We all feel the same way. We can't stand it anymore. Let's end this at the Tower of Death! Let's kick some sinistral ass!

Master, I will avenge you with the last lesson you taught me. . . Energy Punch!


Oh yeah this move sounds good right? YOU HAVE NO IDEA!


DAMAGE x4 JESUS TAPDANCING CHRIST ON A POGO STICK! The master even was gracious enough to leave us ANOTHER amazing gift!


This ring is fucking AWESOME. One of the best in the game.


(I just remembered you can hold start for an item description when it's already equipped, and it shows the parameters) so holy fuck, ATK and SPD+fucking 40?! DEF+20?! HELL YEAH BRO!

(Dei is still faster)

Oh yeah, and one last thing before I end this update:

I'm convinced this has been said before in one of the first two Lufia games, someone confirm this for me.

NEXT TIME ON LUFIA 3: GAYDES FINAL BATTLE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS AND POSSIBLY DRUNKEN RAMBLINGS!
