Part 61




Update 58


Aaadvancin'.

Wheee, corridors. Boring corridors.



"oh, what to do...? Yosuga? Maybe Musubi?"
Eww.None of those.






There are swirling flames on the outside. That is rather weird.




"The Nihilo demons suddenly arrived and now the halls are all messed up! It's okay to go this way, right? It's not a picture, is it?"
That's a clue for this dungeon's gimmick. The layout of the place is all twisted due to the demonic powers at work. Some are dead ends with trick paintings, others are twisted. Others are just WHAT THE FUCK.






Nice set of skills.


Her design reminds me of dragonflies for some reason.




"Finally... Finally, the Reason of Shijima will be conceived!"
The dude that would destroy the world is the last one to make his God appear. It is kind of strange.





Well, that part is done. Time to go up.



Huh. A statue. That is clearly painted, though.

Also, the treasure is empty.




See? Twisted. Yet, the map shows it straight. It is weird.



See?








Huh.


When examining a trick painting.



Teleport!







Again and again and again.





Eternal Rest sounds nasty.


It is a resilient bastard. In my first playthrough, Decarabia was a constant annoyance.









There is a trick in this one.



False wall!





Leading to WTF Straight corridor.











Oh no! Boss fight time!

It is a joke at this point.
Seriously. Killed Beelzebub. What's Mada going to do to me?






Missed this guy. Oh well.



Trick painting. It looks fine from a distance, but when you get near you can notice the change in the

textures. Neat.



Access to the center from the left side. Time to unlock the right side.






A very, very boring one.






And then the statue fades. CREEEPY.




Hey another twisted passage.




Wait what the fuck.








And the asshole blocks the way.



OH HAY IM GONNA OPEN THIS CLEARLY NOT PAINTED DOOR.



DUH




More twistedness.



"But, there is nothing to worry about. We will soon receive our Reason of Shijima. The moment is

near..."




"I'll be free if the demon here is defeated, so someone beat him! I don't care if only one type of attack works! Just try everything, damnit!"



And here is the boss' lair.

STATUES. MANY STATUES.





Yes-


It is easy.


It is this one.
How do I know it?



It's the only one without a reflection.







OH NO ANOTHER BOSS FIGHT.
Easy as pie
Or Pancakes.
