Part 44: Day 173: Lies
Yeah, Axel isn't exactly a good friend. At least we can say that he tried.
Music: Sacred Moon
I talked to Saix.
Really!? What did he say?
His...his leaps were sealed. Sorry, man, I tried.
That's okay.
But he did say he would take back calling her broken-IF she proves herself more capable going forward.The best thing you can do for her now is keep up the good work.
I will! Thanks, Axel. That's great news! *leaves*Ugh, sorry, Roxas...
Yeah, we could've figured this out on our own. Thanks, I guess?
I didn't change the Dodge Roll, but I added Aerial Recovery. Also, I changed Fira for Thunder because I haven't really used it. This is a big mistake; I should've changed Thunder with Blizzara instead.
Saix said he had a special mission for you, but... Well, from the sound of it, you'll need a decent weapon first. Gotta be safe. If you want at the mission, show me a weapon with three or more units installed.At least he said that the reward will be shit from the beginning this time. And the quest is very easy. That's an improvement, I guess.
Hey, nice piece! You should be fine with that weapon. It's not that I had any doubts, but, you know... Anyway. I'll tell Saix you're ready to take that mission on.Let's take care of business so we can get to the fun stuff.
Use synthesis at the shop to combine a Gear Component A, a rune Tech, and some Bronze. Report back when you're done.You better not just give another mission
So, this is the one we need to make. We already made it. For some reason, we can make multiple weapons of the same type even though we can only equip 1.
Note that there's new gears. Some of them require Gear Component B. We get some from
I just want to say that there's this ability I didn't buy last update. It's shit, since you can't control the camera when locked on and sometimes it will screw you over.
Looks like you've done it. Here's your prize. Enjoy. (Obtained: Shining Gem)Another day, another game, eh?It's nice to see you learning too.
We're not going there today
The mission Axel unlocked is actually the one with Dual Blade, not the emblems.
I'm sure we'll be fine without fire magic. (I regret not bringing Fire or Fira)
Music: This is Halloween
Music: Spooks of Halloween Town
Like before, there's no Heartless in plain sight. The chest has a Thunder Recipe.
Correction: No Emblem Heartless in sight. The white thing there is a bone, but we have to find Zero first.
In Halloween Town Square, we have a chest with Frost Gem, a chest with Gust Shard, a Unity Badge, some Mega-Shadows, and two balloons with nothing in them. We could search this place ourselves, but fuck that, I'm delegating this task to Zero.
On Halloween, I'll light these lanterns and make my grand entrance! They're in for quite a surprise. Oh! I'm almost late! I better hurry to the lab. Be a good boy, Zero.
In the Graveyard, we have a chest with Blazing Gem (right), a chest with Blizzara Recipe (left), 2 balloons, 6 bombs, 4 lanterns, and 0 Zero.
The left balloon actually has an Emblem Heartless, so we can get started with the mission.
To progress, we need to light all 4 lanterns. We can use fire magic, but since I didn't bring it we'll just use the bomb. The lanterns won't turn off if we leave this area, but the bombs will respawn, so there's no danger of getting stuck.
Lighting all 4 barrels opens a grave.
The coffin's lid is ajar...That's what Roxas would say if we didn't light the lanterns.
Now we have to do the same thing, only this time we have 4 bombs instead of 6. The chest has a Gust Gem. You might have noticed that there's two tiers of synthesis materials now: Shards and Gems.
It looks like a door, but where's the knob?Like before, this is what Roxas would say if we examine the door before lighting all lanterns.
Wha-? Who's there!?
Somehow they managed to make an explosion without throwing a pumpkin. Or maybe they placed the pumpkin and Roxas just didn't notice.
Waugh!
*The trio move to block Roxas*
You can't go past here!
Road block!
Catch!Boss: Lock, Shock, Barrel
These three doesn't really qualify a boss, but I included them since they're the second of two Disney enemies in this game. Technically, they're the second, third, and fourth out of 4 Disney enemies.
Anyway, this fight is very easy if you're not an idiot and don't blow yourself up with a bomb like I did.
Lock attacks by throwing bombs. These ones have the normal 5 second timer, so it's easy to avoid.
Shock attacks by spinning towards Roxas.
Barrel attacks by speeding towards Roxas. I recommend leaving Lock for last and dealing with Shock or Barrel in whichever order because...
...they can be stunned by bombs, including Lock's. Yeah, you can stun Lock with his own bombs. This fight isn't hard, it just takes some time since all 3 of them likes to run away.
This GIF is basically this fight. I read that they can revive if you take too long to defeat the others, but I dicked around (not shown in the video) and they haven't revived, so I'd say that you don't have to worry about it.
Video stops here
Take it easy!Tell me why you're blocking the way.If we didn't, you'd go back there and see the-er, nothing.The what? What's back there?N-nothing!Yeah, a whole lot of it!We promise we won't pull any more pranks! Please let us go, pleeease!Pranks? Getting in my way was a prank? Why even bother?Because it's fun!Fun? I don't really see how it's-Well, it is!Pranks are the best!See for yourself!
Time from making promise to breaking promise: 20 seconds.
Now's our chance!Run awaaay!
There's plenty of bomb GIFs this update.
I wish there were something else to add a little more oomph!*explosion*
Those three... Up to no good again, I'm sure. ...Wait a minute. Something with oomph... Explosions?That'll be perfect!I'm afraid the next time we're here, this place is going to be a minefield
We finally found Zero and can begin killing Heartless. But before that...
Blazing Gem and Thunder Recipe. There's also 3 balloons. 1 of them has 2 Hover Ghosts and another has a Minute Bomb.
I actually found this one myself.
What the fuck just happened? Why would the bomb explode suddenly!?
I'm pretty sure that it's because of the Fire Finish ability. It normally causes ignite, but instead it blows up the bombs instead. This happens with the pumpkin bombs, too.
These are the spots in the Boneyard 1. Obviously, there's going to be other Boneyards later.
Fun fact: Snowy Crystal doesn't flinch. I didn't notice this since I usually brought Fire. Their shockwave can cause Freeze, which lets them unleash more shockwave, which freezes you, etc. Pumpkin bombs kill them instantly, so that's what I used.
Another fun fact: You can blow up the hole made by the trio. This creates a shortcut from Moonlight Hill to the Graveyard. If we examine the hole without blowing it up (again)...
I'm too big to fit through.Anyway, we go back to the Graveyard.
These are mostly Minute Bombs, which isn't that big of a problem. The explosions are bad, but being frozen means nothing when there's no enemy left and we brought many Cures and Curas.
These are the last spots Zero will show us.
Both of these has Creepworms. They're total pushovers.
If we give Zero a bone after all the spots are examined, he will just look down. However, we haven't fully completed this mission fully yet, so obviously there's somewhere obvious that I missed.
So after a few minutes searching for it, it turns out that it's just next to the entrance
And that's all Heartless found. It's easy except for the part when I was being an idiot.
Music: At Dusk, I Will Think of You...
Twilight Station Tower: 37
Sea-Salt Ice Cream: 68
Looks like Axel and Roxas finally eat ice cream together again
New reports:
Lock, Shock, and Barrel get their own profile even though we will never fight them separately.
