Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals

Part 15




Let us pray:

Oh lord Foomy, please bless us with your foamyness, and please guide my blade into Idura's but so that I may retreive my baby from his clutches. Amen.


Oh my this should help.


Of course, it's cursed. I can kick like a living suit of armor if I wear it, though!


The church of foomy needs to teach its clergy some fucking grammar.


It's slightly less defensive, however it raises my attack which is awesome. Also it has a pretty cool IP.


Full healing for one party member. Heck yes.


Despite her objections, I'm forcing Selan into a two piece.


It has a novel IP, which heals her MP, but honestly there are enough healing panals that I don't need it. This would be amazing if you found it in the ancient cave.


And I'm using foomy. I bought a bunch of bronze swords to feed him, however I could afford enough to cause him to class change.


Here's the lighthouse if you forgot.


Yeah, if you couldn't have guessed this was locked before.


Arrow you say? You mean. . .


Like this? Pushing the blocks into an arrow shape causes the door you point to to open. The left door leads to a locked door, so we'll head this way.


This is an incredibly imaginative puzzle. You have three switches and three crates. However, you need to press all three switches AND put a crate on that dark tile. Sounds impossible, right?


Pressing these two switches reveals a door. Pressing the third switch. . .


Lowers the spikes. How, might you ask, can I keep the door revealed AND put a crate on that switch? Well, for this one, you have to think outside the box, or outside the crate if you'd like.

What if I, say, put a crate in front of the door? Then what?


Now it can't close, so the door stays revealed.


Putting a crate on the tile causes everything to dissapear and the door to stay and open even! Pretty creative, I think, almost makes up for all the other shit puzzles.


5/8 we're well on our way.


What does this ring do?


Oh man, a Big shield! I wonder what it does?


Seriously, I sometimes wonder if they were just lazy or ran out of time?


I wonder if I'll be coming back to this teleporter later. Or rather, coming THROUGH this teleporter later.


It's everyone's favorite memory matching game, concentration! Actually, you can cheat at this. You step on a panal


And the tile is revealed! Let's try another one!


If you mess up, spikes are lowered on the side there, and if all four are lowered some enemies are let into your area. However, if you cast reset before the fourth row of spikes is lowered, it resets the spikes, but the puzzle tiles don't move, so if you remember where the matches are you can get it before the spikes are all lowered. When you win, the door to the south opens, and if there are still spikes they all go away and the enemies all disappear. You have to go past the spikes too, because:


You need to step on this switch, it's kind of important. Back at the matching puzzle, moving south


The going outside thing never gets old.


I'm in this room where I raised the stakes (lol pun) but I can get something outside, too.


So many ladders. I guess that's all you can deal with in 2-D, eh?


Ow fuck it's hot


This is good, since my strongest spell is Fireball, so this will just make it stronger.


No Lois, HORSES are terrible people.


Oh no the ladder is broken what ever shall I


Yeah the switch was in the next room behind a bombable wall, BORING!


A metaphor? Gambling tips? Nah, a puzzle clue.


See those two black panals? When I step on this switch, they're going to move around and shit and become white, and I have to follow them. All the panals move and there's a bunch of smoke and dust that makes it a little confusing.


However, I'm so awesome I was not phased by these distractions.


Bingo. You could never have guessed these because you didn't watch the videos, but believe me, it wasn't too difficult.


Well at least it isn't heavy, amirite


You'll NEVER GUESS where this teleporter leads!


Oh you guessed it, didn't you


Now I can point my arrow over here.


And unlock this door! However, we're not quite at the boss yet.


What do you think they snatch? Cookies? Cooling pies off window sills? Babies? Wait


It's kind of silly that there are healing tiles and a save point (not pictures) here, and the reason it is silly will be revealed soon.


I can't seem to cross this gap, but I might be able to get to it from above. Also, yes that is a new crab enemy, and I will have an amazing picture of it later.


Moving this pillar reveals a crack in the floor, which can be bombed. And then of course


You can push the pillar down. And then jump in after it.


And then I can weigh down this switch and open the chest!


Aw, I already had one not a very fufilling prize for that puzzle. Then again it was an easy puzzle. Hitting the other switch let's me use the hook to get back.


At least cancer is referring to the crab, not like some insane cancerous blob And also, of course, King Frog is the greatest enemy ever and I don't think there will ever be a time when looking at it won't make me smile.

Also, this particular cancer dropped a cancer stone.


I'm not too crazy about the stat increase from it however the IP is pretty funny


Equipping this rock gives you the ability to produce a giant pair of scissors out of nothing, and then cut shit up with them.


Like I said earlier, there was no reason for a save point and healing pads back there because there are some right here, before the boss fight. Weirdos designed this tower.


Top of da tower, you know what that means!


Again, you couldn't get here without the key, unless you flew or something, which is silly.


This puzzle is kind of tricky. If you push all four blocks in, it makes a staircase, but you have no way of getting to it. So you have to do this:


If you step off this switch, the stairs stay visible long enough for you to be able to use them. It's pretty nifty.


OH NO MY BABY!

You know, I just realized, there sure are a lot of fucking towers in this game. Anyway.


It's almost like he was waiting here for us!

Jeros is okay, right?

Don't worry. He's just fine. . . for now!

What did my son ever do to you?!

I am under orders from a certain someone to ensure that your bloodline ceases, Maxim.

My. . . bloodline?

We do not need to talk really, do we?

suddenly Selan runs at him ready to attack



one more move and you'll never see daylight again! Oh I forgot, his fate will be grim no matter what happens! hahahahahahahahahahaha *gasp* hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!


Suddenly, a second baby snatcher enters the scene!


Oh wait I think she's on my side.

What?!

Maxim, NOW!

uh oh we do battle now!


AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA holy fucking Batman!

I'd like to note that before this battle I equipped Selan with the holy wings so she could use a healing IP that heals foomy, too.


This is one of Idura's signature attacks, it goes boom.


boom. It does so so damage, not enough to justify huge explosions.


He can summon some gay follower recolorings.


Oh my god Idura you are like so totally bitchin will you like sign my tits please?!


This attack is about twice as strong as plasma whatever, and is way flashier (haha oh man I'm the MASTER of puns aren't I so cool?)


Oh shi good thing I can heal foomy, otherwise he might die.


And so lord Foomy did spite the foul beast, and there was much rejoycing.


That really was the move that finished him off, too.


I'm not going to lie, he'll be back. Camu was way cooler, too


Sorry, I think this screenshot isn't funny and I could totally make it funnier, here's how:

Oh baby, oh baby. . . oh my baby Jeros, you're okay!

Iris. . .

Good to see you again, Maxim.

I began my journey as you told me. I've met many people in many places, and I met Selan.

. . .

I defeated Gades and brought peace to the world. You did mean I was to fight Gades, right?

Yes but. . . your fate has changed.

What do you mean?

If you had died when you defeated Gades, peace would have returned to the world. But you married Selan and left a descendant. You were supposed to die in that tower, but I. . . The flow of time is changing, even I cannot see the future any more. I can tell you that it's time to go. To protect your loved ones, you must fight again.

Are you saying there's an enemy stronger than Gades?

If you do in fact have the power to change fate, you will one day know the truth.


Hey wait you told me the bad news, what's the good news?!?

Maxim. . .

Selan, is Jeros alright?

Yes.

. . . . . .

You're going, aren't you Maxim?

I must go to protect you and Jeros.

I'm going with you.

Yeah I mean we can just have someone watch Jeros for his entire childhood while we're off fighting monsters, I mean it's not like he'll grow up and have abandonment issues or anything!

Yeah totally let's do that.

Sorry I had to sum up why this is a horrible idea. But I mean I guess saving the world takes priority. The worst part is we know what's going to happen to them.


Apparently Selan has an auntie. What kind of RPG hero has family? Geez.

Yes, I will watch Jeros. But why do you have to fight? My only hope was for you to have the happiness of an ordinary mother.

Yeah but I've been fighting with swords ever since I was a little girl, I never wore dresses or played with dolls, why would you think that I would want to be an ordinary mother?

But what if you die?

Bye!

Man that Selan sure is sassy. Okay that's it for this update, come on guys vote on which capsule monster I should use next time!
