Part 35

Update 35: Brought to you by Syrg! Accept no substitutes (until Waffleimages comes back, anyway)

And with that, the northern part of the Building opens up.


Directly north is no good, though, so it is time to explore the last unopened door.


Northeast!


What is this, Resident Evil? A mansion with a mysterious courtyard!



Now with the proper Evil Brother of Ganesha.

I'll leave the Nocturne information do the talking for me.


Ugly ugly ugly.


They drop decent XP, though.


"Death Blow
Power Charge
Void Phys"



There is a part of the courtyard that is not accesible, which is bad and annoying. There is a treasure there, but that will probably not be acquired just yet.


"Death Blow
Power Charge
Void Phys"


Yay for Cielo. Levelwise, he is about the same as the other characters, but his mantra set is still lacking in comparison.
Again, that is mostly because of his uselessness due to his weakness. As it has been said before, his weakness is less annoying in the second game, and so, he may or may not be used more.


Revisiting this place. But it is forgiven since it has the excuse of a rearranged architecture.


And this place goes down, instead of up. Getting closer, you see. BUT this is kind of a derail from the main path.

Greeh. Only going to get worse.


Gale is still 100k.


"Sonic Wave
Stun Wave
Void Nerve
Null Charm"



This is most definitely welcome.


And so is this.


Heat is getting close to never, ever having to cast an Ice shield again, but his magic still sucks ass.

Oh yes.

Watch this cutscene. (Gamevee)
Seriously, do it. The voice acting is awesome (Viddler)
Edited and such for Youtube, nothing of importance is missed. (Youtube)


There's the Embryon, in the last hall of the mansion.



It is definitely in worse shape than the Resident Evil Mansion. Some of it can be attributed to the perpetual warzone status the world has, I suppose.





They have no idea about anything, do they?



Cielo is having some difficulties, apaprently.



Yup. I'd say he is not enjoying that.


Invisibility must be a bitch. Shame they got rid of their visors, those had thermal imaging, if I recall correctly.


Once again. Gale is left out. WHY?



Notice, distortion. He is getting punched.


Heat doesn't mention Gale, he was absent from the recording, and Mr. Invisiguy does not remember him.
Why is that?



??  That won't be shown until the second game. Again, nothing, NOTHING is explained in the first game. 


??

Oh boy! It was no one but Mr. Varin Omega/Colonel Beck!

This is important.



And now, he shows his OMGHAX. This is cheap. And horribly annoying.


Glowy punch of HAX.


He has changed Heat now.


TO LOSE HIS HUMANITY.


He makes them hungry. He is the Anti-Sera.


And oh boy they do seem to have forgotten a lot. He remembers all, though.
But that does not mean he knows all. Far from it.



Sera has the ability to null Varin's Hax.
She has better Hax. And there are reasons for that.


And that's his Demonic form.
Not his only one, though. By far not his most annoying.

Ravana is invisible, and has six possible targets. That is not good.
If one uses an area effect spell, it all fails. Even if it is Almighty, it'll miss.
Death Flies, no longer

Sera gives you hints.
But they are almost useless.
Until she says where the hell he is.


Success!


Ravana is not pleased by the victorious attempts at locating him.

AND THEN.
HE CHANGES.


Oh fuck.
That's all that can be said.



This is a must.
Everyone in the party must have it.


Not because of this, though.
This is horrible. And impossible to prevent.


The force repel is for this, INFINITE WIND. He is not immune to Force.


Sera sings and soothes a single demon. That makes that one go back to its senses.


This is annoying. DAMN YOU BECK, YOU AND YOUR HAX.


Well, they also have to fear that.


Why the hell does EVERY Asura only step on its toes? That is a kind of weird design decision.


Level ups. Again. He gives sufficient experience.

Next: The war is almost over.
