Part 21: Astoundingly, more explosions.

Chapter 19: Astoundingly, more explosions.


So, I hover near Lix 'cause it has a free in and ninja scrolls.


So, how bad could a floating town be?


I should really stop asking how bad things could be.


The armaments are either flamethrowers or rocket launchers.


They're also tough cookies, compared to the jokers before and, oddly, after this.


Flamethrower cast Flamethrower, which is Blue Magic. At 5 MP, it does better damage than Fira to a single target.


The Rocket Launchers cast Missile, from before, and Rocket Punch, the second most asshole spell in the game. It halves HP and confuses. Fuck you, Rocket Launchers.


After blowing up all four armaments...

So much for their defenses!
Wait-what's that!?


A huge fucking gun.

Cripes, look at the size of it!
Guess there's one last thing to take care of...!


Screw you, Faris. I'm getting out of here.


As mentioned, Lix's inn is free.

However, as FF5 has taught us about free inns...



Oh, Faris...



Meet my mom.
Eh?
You know, I was born here in this village. Mom passed on while I was still young... After that, I traveled with Dad for a long time. But three years ago, he got real sick.





He always wanted to be buried here with Mom. Dad was so strong...
A father, huh... Wonder what that's like.
Faris?
Let's head back. Lenna'll worry if she wakes and finds us gone.

Faris, aren't you supposed to be a fucking PIRATE?!


Fuck it, I'm fighting a giant laser gun.

BOSS FIGHT: SOUL CANNON AND LAUNCHER x2


The quintessential roadblock boss.


With 12,500 HP and a brutal laser attack, getting past this motherfucker is a chore.


The Launchers have levels that are multiples of 5.


Rods Broken: 10

The Soul Cannon's lightning weakness should be your priority.


Sorcerers are pretty cool when they have a weakness to exploit.




Rods Broken: 12


It explodes. Take that.

I always try to kill the cannon before it lasers me. The laser deals 50% damage to all characters and inflicts sap.


It hands over a chunk of Dark Matter, of which I have two from Prototypes, and some Hi Potions.

And with that, The way into the ancient Ronkan ruins is clear.

Lenna gets assaulted by blue magic left and right!
