Shadow Hearts: Covenant

Part 134: The Gift


We've completed all of Yuri and Karin's sidequests, gotten all of Yuri and Kurando's Fusions and raised all the Fusions to level 10. So now it's time to go back to the Graveyard.


'Ello, what's this?

You got Reborn Droplet


Hmm...


Anyway, let's keep exploring, shall we?


Through the next door...


...and the next...


...and suddenly, Yuri doesn't seem to be feeling so hot.




His life starts to quite literally flash before his eyes.




I cut out some of the stills (there's over 20 scenes shown). They're all in the video, though.
































Yuri drops to his knees.

Ugh...! ...My memories! They're being...sucked away...!



...I can't stand it!



...Huh!?



...That sunset...



???: Do you remember now?

...It's the same one. I saw that sunset with my dad.



Inside your heart, that sunset will always be shining.



You fear losing your memory, your very soul. But even that could never change you.



Dad! Is it you?!
Yes, it's me.



Heh. It's pretty funny... You DO sorta look like me.
Hahaha haha. You've done well, son. You took the best parts of your mother and me, and became your own man.



Dad, I lived the best I could! I made some good friends... I had a woman who loved me...
Yes.



I wasn't perfect, and I made mistakes, but...I did the best I could! That's why...I don't have any regrets.
The important thing, is that you followed the path you chose.



Your mother and I know that.
...!



Yuri. You have to transcend me.
What?
Show me your strength. I want to see the power of your soul. Come on, just like when you were a child. Try to beat me!



Haha. Here goes! But this time...



There's no holding back!



Haaaaaaaaaaaah. Hmmmmmmmm.


...This family is weird.




So, just like the first game, Ben fuses into Seraphic Radiance, although it's had a name change to Dark Seraphim.




And just like the first game, Seraphim has a spell that damages you and heals her.


She can also do this, which would've helped her out a lot more if she hadn't waited until she was almost dead to cast it.


This fight is way easier than it was in the first game.


We get some really nice rewards for this fight, including a Thor's Belt.




Yuri is gasping for breath, and Ben is standing there chill as fuck. So much for not holding back.

I'm impressed.



I have always loved you and Anne more than anything. I still do. I always will, son.



Dad...!
Hahaha haha.



A gift from your dad.


He disappears.



Dad!



...... Dad...








And Yuri has all of his Fusions back! Let's take a look, shall we?


Oh. Oh my...


So, these are Dark Seraphim's Level 1 stats. He also has just one spell, For Everyone... (the one that raises everyones stats).


We have more than enough souls to fully level up, so I do.


We've already seen the first two skills, and we'll see the third one soon. Like Melt Crest, For the Child... hits every enemy on the field and is obscenely expensive in terms of Mana cost.


And that's it for the end-game quests! I suppose we've let Kato cool his heels long enough.


Let's go save the world! Again! No, seriously, what is this, like the fifth time?
