Part 22

This update is mostly plot, like I predicted.


The screen flashes as we try to enter the castle in Alstadt. Could another Sinistral be revealing him/herself?


Nah, he's just a ghost. And thus, he's flashing, and hard to capture screens of.

It isn't really him, it's his residual spirit.

then some guards show up

Who are you? You, freak!

I will vanish. . . but distrust and insecurities will not! May humans be cast into the world of Chaos!!


This could be bad.

Ha ha ha ha! You should all die in disbelief!

AAaauihahghgh GET AWAY FROM ME!

Who are you?! Are you here to harm us?!

Don't be foolish! Relax, we're not enemies!

Liar! You can't fool us!

Marco, this is bad. The townfolk are going crazy too!

Damn that Amon, he left us quite a present!

What should we do? The people might start attacking each other!

Don't ask me! Just don't seriously hurt them!

Roger!

SMACK! POW! ZOCK! (they're knocking out the guards, if you couldn't guess)

You! How dare you harm my soldier!

Hey, Melphis, chill, we just knocked them out!

Silence!


Melphis has gone batshit insane

Looks like Amon's spiritual force has gotten to Melphis.

Princess? What's wrong? What happened to you?

Shut up! I'll finish you too!


Go Deckard, saving little girls and shit.

Get a hold of yourself Melphis! A ruler of a country does not turn against her people!

I. . . I. . . Oh, blood!



Don't worry, it's not a big deal.

I. . . I. . .

Good, you're back to normal. . . ouch. . .

I-I'm sorry, because of me. . .

It's fine, as long as this child wasn't harmed.

Sir Deckard. . .

Come on. Dad's gone, so this country is in your hands.

Of course I. . . wait did you just say Dad?

oh shi-

I didn't say a word, Prince Alheim.

Randolph. . . that name!

There's no use in hiding it anymore.

I had heard that I had an older brother, but he left before I was born and was presumed lost. . . that's you, isn't it? My brother, Alheim.

Don't call me that. I cast away that name 20 years ago. I'm not fit for a royal family.

You can say that again!

I've never seen such a wild prince.

Any dreams about an ideal prince would be shattered if Deckard were a prince.

Hey now, that's going a little far!

Brother, I can see that you're happy with your way of life.

Yeah, I live the way I want to, but I think I've burdened you by doing that. Sorry.

It's okay, I'm just glad to know that you're alive!

Thanks! So now, where to next Marco?

Well now that we've solved the problem on Lidal Continent, let's go to other continents!

Yeah, we've got our ship, we can go anywhere we want!

Then let's go! To a new continent!

Princess, you're coming right?

Well, I should stay here and rule my kingdom. . . but fuck it let's go on an adventure and kill the other Sinistrals!

She didn't really say that but the conversation was long and drawn out and boring, that makes her seem way cooler. Also this explains why Deckard gets the crown.


Hooray, time to explore the high seas! We, of course, run into fun new enemies:


I love sharks.


Oversized? Old? Overclocked? Osmosis? No idea what the O stands for.

There is a secret item you can get if you go now, before you start on the next continent (Fante Continent)


Search on the eastern island and you'll run into this mansion, which we will be coming to later. But if you go into this cave now,



You can't go through here now, sorry. But you came all the way here, so I'll give you a special gift.


A sword with 500 attack! However, like the Bunnyblade in Lufia 2, it actually only does like two damage per hit. However, the attack boost it gives you still applies to IP attacks, and only women can equip it. . . Imagine Aima with it using Energy Punch. . . Well, maybe some day.


So here's the full world map. . . oh you might be wondering why I'm standing on this seemingly random island in the middle of the world map.


There's a town with a very suspicious looking cave.


ANCIENT CAVE YOU SAY? Hang on, let me fuck around in this town first.


Another secret back entrance, the other chest had a Wing Ring.

The woman only sells you some crappy rings, not like I really need them anyway.


You can also get this awesome spell here, which does great damage if your opponent has mirror. Amon used this against me when I was doing my screenshot fight against him, it was powerful.

oh yeah if you wander around this town (Gulduck) you might find:
- Hi Potion
- Antidote
- SleepPowder
- Mystery Pin


Sweet, a lobby. Actually, you can find an X-Bomb and an X-Magic if you look around this room.


On the third floor, my sixth Dragon Egg. That teleporter is where you exit the cave.

Before going in the cave, I have to spend all my money, because well


You can bring these into the cave, and they're actually BETTER than the helmets I have access to at the moment. Mostly because they raise RES by a bunch.


Secretary, hold my calls. I'm going to be in the office for a while, and do not want to be disturbed.
