Let's advance. You see, this place is tedious. In the first and third puzzles, messing up (purposely or not) means a detour. A long detour to get abck to the previous level. That is what makes them so annoying.

Could be worse, though, at least the third does not drop you to the Dungeon. Damn you, dungeon!

"They both meant to rescue the imprisoned damsel."

"And the duel began!"



This one is not so bad if you know what to do. Trial and error at the first time? Not so fun.



"This game is called...
'Reproduce the duel by having the princes face each other.'

A statue of the good prince is on the roller coaster.
Move the statue so that it faces the evil prince.
By the way, the statue of the evil prince is..."





"See that panel near him? Head toward that!
Oh, and before I forget, feel free to follow the rails with your sight. It may provide clues!

Well, good luck!"




Oh intersections and detours.



Going directly with the Good Prince is NOT advisable.




Because it leads here. You don't want to come here.


Once you leave the lift, it automagically goes back to the starting position. You DO NOT want that. Oh well. Let's move on.



Cu Chu Lainn should not be a pretty boy. He should take the battle seriously and use his battle frenzy!
Cuchulainn!



I don't know why the armor's color is different in the concept art.



How appropriate. A hindu goddess!
And here she is.






Many levels have been acquired in this place.

Heat should stop learning so many goddamn mantras so quickly.



After messing around with things, this is the desired and intended result. You don't want it in any other configuration, no sir.



Voila! It works! It works! And passed through the place.




Bullets!


Certainly better than the previous one. Oh yes.



But, one cannot pass through there. At all. Not yet.



Levels good, mantras bad. Hooray. At least for the moment, since there is no money for new mantras.




Noo! Bad Argilla!

"Mabufula
Ice Drain"





Gale does not favor luck. He has no need for luck. He has LOGIC.

And now, Argilla has screwed herself in the mantra area, jsut because she dared to learn all the cheap ones.

All the rest of her mantras have a cost of 100 thousand macca, as a minimum. That is not good.


Serph, by not being Gale, can and will favor luck. Because Luck is awesome.



Not going to transcribe this.

A pricne got killed?



I do not comprehend.



Again, this will not be relevant or significant until much, much later.


Well, the humanity of the princes was never put into question, was it?





Goddamnit.

What can be the meaning of all this?
