Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals

by Blackbelt Bobman

Part 23




This is a rather short update. So outside the Elf village we find


FUCKING DINOSAURS HOLY SHIT


And some poorly translated birds of prey.


Here's this Divine Shrine, it wasn't too far away from the town.


I dunno if they're supposed to be bronze or brine or what


They're only red because of their love for Lenin


This is this awesome hook puzzle room, it's actually really aggravating and long and annoying.


There are lots of posts you can hook to that take you nowhere and are a work of trickery from the devil himself!


Hitting this switch moved that platform up a little.


There are also lots of staircases.


I like how gargoyles were a boss five seconds ago and suddenly I'm fighting a stronger version of them.


Lifting all these pots, I found a hole in the floor, and also I released that button which lowered those spikes. Which means I can get



And I think it's gonna be a long long time



Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think i am at home
Oh no no no i'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone


Dude, are you alright?

ROCK-ET-MAN!


Fucking snakes. Of course, they're not really difficult or anything.



But I tell myself that I was doin' all right
There's nothin' left to do at night
But to go crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, ooooooooh


Now you too, Selan?

Wild man's world is cryin' in pain
What you gonna do when everybody's insane
So afraid of one who's so afraid of you
What you gonna do...ohhh...

Ooooo...Crazy on ya
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you


Uh, okay. . .



Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?


You've all gone insane!

Up another staircase we find


A room with a lot of enemies, yeah, let's uh not be here.

After swinging some more (and not in the good way)


This is some totally sweet armor


It's good, raises MGR, but then again, this is more useful for healing, so I ended up giving it to Selan.


After getting all the treasure I could, I went back to that hole near where I got the rocket ring and fell down. Wheee


I can finally get on with this damn dungeon


In this weird hallway, these weird torches light as I walk past them. . . weirdly.


I'm able to get this platform moving by shooting that button with an arrow (or the hook)


These things are cuhrazy looking. They also sometimes drop Earth Jewels!


Guy REALLY needs the MGR. It let's you use an earthquake type move, which is pretty awesome.


Another weird hallway. Even the carpet is weird.


Lighting all the weird torches causes this weird wall to lower so I can continue on. . . weirdly.


A wall I can clearly blow up.


This was a sound based puzzle, until I solved it. You had to step on the panals in order of ascending pitch, I'm tone deaf so I guessed.


8/8 we can go get our wishes granted


It's almost impossible to know this without being told, but you can break this wall with the hammer.



And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones to start
To mould a new reality
Closer to the heart, yeah, closer to the heart


No shut up

The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
Forge their creativity
Closer to the heart, yeah, closer to the heart


STOP DON'T

Philosophers and ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart, yeah, closer to the HEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRT YEAH





Another pointlessly easy puzzle, unless you completely forgot all the game mechanics when you got here.


That hammer/flail thing is awesome.


Oh no Amon is facing off with Karyn

Beyond this door is the divine room whose concentrated energy gives power to the mind. Do you really think I would open the door for the likes of you with such a wicked heart?

Closer to the

SHUT UP

Hmm, will you choose to open it and live, or not and be destroyed?

You already have my answer. I cannot open this door.

Then why is it you did not resist and let me kidnap you?

If I hadn't, you would have harmed all the people in my village. And. . .

And?

This is where I can use my power to its fullest.

I expected as much. But do you really think you can beat me with your paltry powers?

I do not know, but I do know that you will not leave here unscathed



It's you people again! Why do you follow me like stupid tiny flies?!

What did you call me bitch?!

I will not let you live this time! No more mercy!


He's trying to release all over us. . . his energy, release his energy.

Ah! What power!


Suddenly Karyn releases her energy too!

Ye being of wicked heart! Depart forthwith from this sacred place!

Why. . . why this much power?! Ahh!

He left, but unfortunately. . .


Karyn is kind of dead like


She's supposed to be like a flashing ghost type person but it's hard to get a screen shot of flashing.

Karyn, why did you do this? You knew what would happen. . .

Yet even my life is. . . not enough to defeat Amon. . . you are. . . you are our last hope. . .

I know, I know Karyn.

Please look after Milka for me. . .



Yeah, that was Amon.

Please let me come with you! I must destroy that evil! Plus I'm the only one who can use holy magic, you need that shit.

Artea, you will risk life and limb in these battles. You have no idea what it's like.

I cannot imagine going back without fighting now. For Karyn and Milka. . .

I understand. Let's do this together!


I think they mean this as like a permanent thing, this is my party for the rest of the game. I THINK! For some reason I remember having three magic users (Artea, Selan, and Lexis?) But I don't THINK that's going to happen. . . unless I'm forgetting something major in the plot.


So through this door


I can the stats of all my characters a few points, which is pretty awesome.



Dead.

Well whatever I hated her anyway, now I can stay up as late as I want and don't have to make my bed! WHEEE!

See I knew you'd make the best of this.

Oh yeah lastly:


War Rapiers are awesome for feeding these guys.


Look, he's USEFUL now! Look at those magic attacks, he could actually do shit now, and I won't have an objection to using him!

Okay guys, pick a capsule (although I might just use Gimpy because of the overwhelming support he got before this update) and then I'll you know, play some more later. I think I expended all my funny in this update.
