Part 24

Hey guys so it turns out House was the worst choice ever for this dungeon, THANKS!

Firstly, let us return to Portravia.


Wow that was quick, actually the grass already looks a little greener, awesome.


THERE IS ONLY ONE BUTTON ON THE ENTIRE SHIP, YOU HAVE TO FIND IT BEFORE YOU CAN SUBMERGE HAHA!

By the way Elf, I haven't caught your name.

Artea.

Yeah, sorry about all that ooze, but I fixed it so all is well right? By the way what happened to Amon?

He went back under the sea.

I heard through the grapevine that a ball of light was seen underwater near Barnan, you should check it out.

Word, yo.



UNDER THE SEA! UNDER THE SEA!

shut up you psychopath!


Dude, a hole! Cool.


These are cool looking, and there are no encounters underwater, AT ALL! So if you want to go around without fighting, you can dive.


I love the awesome glitches in this game!


I gots all the capsules now!


As in cheep cheep. It's gay I didn't use it. Although it does have the highest MGR stat, which is great.

Also underwater:


Yeah, I know, super exciting, if I want to turn foomy into a FURRY!


Here's Barnan.


We shall investigate later!


So, I investigated this by talking to all the other people in the town, and it turns out that they sealed a bunch of negativity in the shrine, vengence and misfortune and such, and now it's been released. Who the fuck seals that shit in a shrine anyway?


Bling Bling yo


Here's this shrine and


I guess I'll find another way in. In the meantime, I'm buying more equipment.


I didn't even end up using it in this lame form. The next form


Unfortunately, to get its master form that I know you're all pushing for, I need to get it to class IV and feed it a flame fruit, so I guess I'll push hard to get to it.


Hey so there's this hole underwater under the shrine.


At first I thought that said 5th and I was really lost, but I think it says south.


Ah we emerge in the shrine, yay


There is this weird mechanism with some switches and a level, I don't know, maybe if I hit these each once and then flip this switch. . .


Oh shi a secret!


House tries out one of his new moves, trying to put these dinosaurs to rest.

YOU'RE EXTINCT, FUCKER!


I hope someone knows what that quote is from WITHOUT USING GOOGLE.


Yeah, these silly puzzles, right?


Clearly it should be Hades, but they probably ran out of room? Anyway, let's fry 'em


Fry is the best spell until we get. . . uh. . . Zap! That's the one.


I always wanted to kill the students of Hogwarts.


House decides he wants to kill lots of evil beings, maybe it'll help his soul ascend from the netherrelm (THAT'S RIGHT MORTAL KOMBAT WHAT?!)


So to continue on I need to trap that guy on that switch by putting this pot on my button when he's standing on his. Fuck it I'll just show a screen.


There we go.


Oh man, if only they could, you know, actually translate the names of the enemies and not just phonetically transcribe the katakana.


I think this was the whole reason of coming down here, I don't know. But I also found one more sweet treasure.


Whee I jump down here, how will I ever get back?!


These monsters don't fuck around, they cut to the chase: DIE. In fact, they use an attack all move that either does damage or instantly kills you, it sucked ass. I didn't get a good picture of the spell Valor, which is really cool, but I'll get one later.


Ah these remind me of those one enemies you fight on the Black Omen in Chrono Trigger. . . you know what I'm talking about okay.


I do enjoy shooting arrows!


I'll just shoot an arrow at this here


Cool I can cross now.


Sweet


Whatever man, a defense increase is great.


This is a stupid puzzle, you have to raise the water to snuff out those flames.


Pushing this pillar in here raises the water level in there.


Woo now I can hop in the teleporter there which takes me


Back to this room. . . now I can go back to the first room and go the other way!


Yeah so here's why bringing House here was stupid:


It looks cool, like an evil spark, but since the enemies here are dark anyway, it either does < 100 damage, or misses! He wasn't very useful, BOOYA would have been good, but then again, fuck Booya it's gay.


Okay now I can go through this door.


Satan has an army of flaming skulls he sends out when he needs shit done.


These things are gay


Down the stairs, I find a pretty easy puzzle, just push the blocks that correspond with the color of the orb onto the tiles, like so


And so


Not too tough.


Whenever I go to grab it, MY HAND GOES STRAIGHT THROUGH IT!


I have no idea why I took a screenshot of this.


Blowing up walls is fun


Wheee hey doors


LORD JESUS FOOMY PLEASE HEAL THIS SON OF GOD OF HIS GAY, FOR HE DOES NOT WANT TO LIKE MEN ANYMORE!


Yeah I'm not sure how that works.


When I put the key in, THE DOOR DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR!


As I ride this platform, these torches light up, BUT NO ONE IS LIGHTING THEM


Yeah, so I blew some shit up and found a hole.


You know, this place is a little shabby, I think it could use some remodeling, let me just get my hammer out here


Yes, this is much better.


It opens up the room and gives a better sense of flow, really.


This is different. . . but really cool, this part is really different from the rest of the dungeons, so it really stuck with me.


This wall had to go, it was so tacky.


THE LEMON FRESH POWER COMPELS YOU!


It raises your attack by 100, but it's also cursed, so. . .

Here's another secret room inside this secret room (it's actually a series of rooms with stairs in them, this is in the room that also has a Hades Chariot)

Woo


He needs the MGR like crazy.


This pillar was just in the way, and it was cracked and broken, a total hazzard, I had to demolish it.


Plus, you know, it helps me beat the dungeon.


Yeah they want you to straighten out their rugs for them. JERKS!


Pushing this block over the rug eliminates the wrinkles.


Hmm, save point AND healing tiles? Must be. . . A BOSS!


Uh oh!


That is one fucking angry ghost, it's a ghost made up of the spirits of angry people or some shit. Whatever let's kill it!


I'm pretty sure you can OHKO this ghost by casting Rally/Valor on him, but that's no fun, I actually fought it out. Actually, it was pretty fucking hard, so maybe I should've just killed it in one hit.


Artea's IP attack really lay on the hurt.


A few Frys later and he was crispy like a chicken wing, "TRIPLE EXTRA CRISPY AND LETHAL SAUCE, ALSO EXTRA BLUE CHEESE"


Black people like their chicken wings extra crispy, is what I'm saying.


Artea says a seance, and the ghosts go away. The whole point of this thing is that behind that door is:


It might seem shitty now, but when we get back to town. . .


Oh wait hold on, one thing first

I was waiting for you.

Waiting for me?

Yes, I wanted to ask you something. Well, if it's okay, I'd like to be alone with you.

It's not okay!

I didn't ask you, I asked Maxim.

I said no, so the answer is NO!

You don't trust Maxim, is that is? Is the bond between you so weak?

That's not true!

Why don't you prove it to me? Across the sea to the south is the town of Durale. West of it stands the "Tower of Truth." There you can see the truth. I'll be waiting. If you have courage, come.


Selan, the fish wife.

Iris seemed different. . . definitely not her usual self.

Do you know her that well, Maxim? You're quite the flirt!

No, it's not like that!

Maxim, are you by any chance. . . ?

Not you too, Selan? Don't be silly, ok?

She's not being silly. People can change, Maxim.

Artea!

Hmm, he just adds fuel to the fire. Deep. Elves' jokes are deep.

Maxim, we're heading to Durale right now, and NOWHERE ELSE!

Holy shit


Oh no Artea is cursed


Oh shi


PLEASE LORD UNCURSE MY ELF FRIEND


Okay it only raises attack by 80 now but fuck man it's not cursed, which is great.


This bow is fucking great, not only does it hit all enemies at once (not like the gay group shit in the first game), also because of the way this game is programmed, EVEN IF ARTEA IS CONFUSED, HE WILL ONLY ATTACK ENEMIES. It's totally awesome.

Okay guys, vote for some capsules. I'll go buy some war rapiers or whatever to feed to Wart, and then maybe he'll be somewhat useful. Then I'll have everything at III, except Foomy who is at IV, and then you know, maybe I'll build them all up based on which guy you guys want me to use.


I'm going to fuck around with windows on here tonight, and then maybe I'll be able to make another ancient cave run with a guest, I think in the meantime I'm going to do a run right now.
