Lufia: The Legend Returns

by Blackbelt Bobman

Part 31




I like the one serious entry, a lot, the other two are creative, but. . .


Here's the town with the name I can't even begin to pronounce.


Then again I can pronounce skajaquada so whatever. Also, fishy lab? This is the product of limited


The two chests are an X-Magic and a Mind Seed. This game has stopped giving me good things like rings, probably because I have access to the best weapons now.


I'm going there next, fuck yeah. No more of this battling to save the whole world or some shit, let's just hang out at the hot spring.


But first let's check out this "fishy lab," because seriously.


WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE!!!


Issac. . . Shaia? THIS MUST BE IMPORTANT! If you've forgotten, SHAIA:



perhaps he can help Marco like his ancestors helped the others in his lineage!

But he's not here. . .


Man this place is a mess. Must run in the family. Hey treasure


BUNNY! But yes, more Ancient Cave treasure. Free shield for women and Yurist (lol yurist is such a fag) You could search around the rest of the town, and if you did you might find:

- Hi Magic x2
- Mystery Pin
- CharredNewt
- Revive
- SmallBoomer
- ConfuPowder
- Antidote
- GoddessTear

So let's go to that island because hot springs are the bomb. Although, if I get a tattoo in a couple weeks, I won't be able to go to any hot springs in japan (most of them say no tattoos allowed) when I go to GLORIOUS NIPPON this summer.


Cool.


Oh cool maybe we'll find Issac Shaia here too. BUT FIRST!


I was trying to find good pictures of other notable hot springs in vidya games (Tales of Symphonia and FFX-2 immediately spring to mind) but they are not easy to find, oh well.

Anyway there's a dungeon here so I guess we should go in it to see if we can find Issac cause I guess he might be important.


I always wonder how random characters get past the giant enemies or whatever. I mean, mummies? Come on now.


Sort of like a Gorgon, yeah. Except not really.


I uh. . . forgot what this move does. Oh it raises your spd by 3x and also you attack, I guess that's okay.


Man these dungeons are getting less and less interesting. YAWN!


The other two were a revive probably and a Life Seed, yawn.



Are you Professor Issac?

Yes, I am the greatest scientist and illusionist, Issac Shaia!

What is that machine?

This? Well, this machine digs holes in the ground. It digs down to the water source, and creates a hot spring. We'll hit the hot spring soon. Just look. . . switch on!

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

It sure shakes a lot, doesn't it?

Hmm, this is supposed to shake, but not this much.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

W-Wait a second!

Isn't there something wrong?

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

No, we must be close to hitting the water source! Do not worry!

Are you kidding, Old man?!

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

No, this shaking isn't natural. . .

Muu muu!!

Mousse doesn't like it either, I'm getting a bad feeling.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!


The wall is collapsing. . . I don't think this is good.


Apparently we pissed of a giant, fire breathing dragon. Whoops!

Muu muu!!!!

GROOOOAR! GROOOOOAR!

A fire dragon?! What's going on?

Hmm. . . the machine must have woken up a hibernating dragon.

You idiot! What kind of scientist are you?! What are you going to do about this?!

It's okay! We'll fight fire with water when it comes up!


errr

This water is dirty, it's black!

Uh apparently we've struck oil, not water!

This is oil then?! Why would you add oil to fire, stupid?!


The resulting explosion blows the whole team with Issac out of the cave and back to the entrance. But aw there were more treasures behind that wall. . .


But we are fine! Huzzah!

P-Professor! Where did you come from?!

Ha ha ha! Nothing is impossible for a genius!

Are we still alive?

Yeah, I guess so. . .

It's a miracle!

Ha ha ha! This is truly an illusion!

Don't pat yourself on the bat!

Oh, sorry. But everyone is alright, so it's fine!

No, it's not!

Well anyway, you needed to talk to me about something? I'll help you as an apology.

We have to beat someone at the Tower of Sorrow, but the save has collapsed. We were wondering if you had any good ideas.

That's easy, just fly there.

What, will you turn us into birds?

No. My ancestor invented a flying machine about 200 years ago. Not that just anyone can build one, but I can do it! . . . Looks like you don't trust me. Do you have a ship?

Yeah, I have one.

We'll turn it into an airship. Bring it to the lab.


Back to the lab. . .



preparing.

Uh, sir. . . we don't have any Floatium.

What? Gone already? What have you people been doing while I was gone?!

You tried to fly a house and destroyed it last month, remember?

Oh right. I guess we'll have to get some more. We can't modify the ship until we get more.

Where can we get it?

It's in the temple north of Mt Tanba.

What exactly is Floatium?

It's the magical stone that kept Doom Island afloat. There is some near the Tower of Sorrow. Getting Floatium is our priority for now.


Issac, Issac!


Highest INT in the game!


Name: Issac Shaia
Class: Scientist, Illusionist, descendant of the Shaia clan
Weapons: Tools of every sort
Likes: Tinkering with gadgets, analog clocks, flying machines
DIslikes: Sunlight, broccoli, having to clean up after himself (who does that?)
about : Issac has the higest INT stat in the game. He could be a great magic user, if he learned the best attack spells. He mostly learns a ton of support skills and spells. He has a few unique IPs, but he would mostly be good for back row magic support.

Hooray, new character, but how should I arrange my party now I am so torn. Also I think I'll do another Ancient Cave run before the next area because I'll need a few more best weapons/items.
