...so what happens if you do let him join you? Is he just a replacement airship?

you'll see when I recruit him later.


Back to Midy,



Midy is the town of Elves, who live in harmony with nature. Maybe Yurist should move here after we're all done.


Who what?

There is a message for you from Milka. Please ask the woman at the house in the back.

Huh, someone here knew we were coming. . . weird.


Shop Stump, you say? I should investigate further. Hey since it's a shop maybe I can break in like I usually do.



in a bad way.

Okay well I'll just loot this k. Actually the chests were fucking lame, they were a Hi Potion, a Mystery Pin, a BoltBoomer, and a Miracle. How lame.

also throughout the rest of the town wasn't the most spectacular:

-Mind Seed
-GoddessTear
-Miracle
-Hi Potion x2
-X-Magic
-Skill Seed
-Bunnysuit (a blue chest item, yay)


One new spell, which is actually pretty great.


Aw Milka isn't even here

go see her at Rosplett Shrine.

Rosplett Shrine?

It is the shrine of the Elves that lies in the south of the Rosplett Continent. Milka is there. This world is facing danger. Milka has been praying there. But Milka's power is not enough to stop the Sinistrals' resurrection. Milka is waiting for the children of the Spiritual Force to come. Please go to the shrine.

okay I guess we have to go through this shrine to get to her.


Here's the shrine.


Woo nothing exciting on the first floor. There are two chests, with a Revive and a Hi Magic, but who needs those, right?! Dungeon time.


I cannot possibly understand the name of this enemy.


the University at Baffalo Bulls


Lack of letter space, etc. At least it isn't a frozen Salamander.


They're giving bats a bad rap, let me tell you.


And Blue Dragons. The golems only take like ~50 damage from my best fighters.


A move for Ruby which lets her attack 7x at normal power. Not that exciting.


W-wait a minute! Why is this here?! I mean, I know Yurist can learn it, but what the heck?! Oh well, at least I have an extra one, I guess.


Raises all allies DFP and RES, pretty good, I just got a similar spell but this probably raises it more.


Huh, that wasn't so bad. Then again I'm pretty overpowered so. . .


If you search that crystal ball, you'll find a Hi Magic, but I digress. . .

the Spiritual Force.

I'm Marco. We came here because you asked us to. Why were you waiting for us?

To save the world. I have been feeling the flow of the Spiritual Force fluctuate wildly. I am certain that the Sinistrals are trying to resurrect.

You don't have to worry, we've already killed three of them.

No, the Sinistrals can only truly be killed by the Dual Blade.

The Dual Blade. . . does such a sword really exist?

Yes, a sword which resonates with the Spiritual Force of its wielder and enhances their power. That is the Dual Blade.

Who would made a sword like that? Who could make it?

I do not know. But it was certainly not made by humans. Probably not made by a god either. . .

I don't know, but you're saying that we can beat the Sinistrals if we have that sword?

That is correct.

So, where is it?

No idea. However, it resonates with the Spiritual Force. And if your Spiritual Force resonates with it, this crystal will show you the path. Now everyone, please bow your heads and pretend to be serious for a second.

PING!

Something appeared!


Looks familiar.

Doom Island. . .

This is Doom Island?!

Oh, so that's what it looks like.

Wow, just. . . wow.

Where is it? It looks like it's in the ocean.

I see a whirlpool

Whirlpool? Then it must be by the Al-Ayin Islands.

We can't get to it if it's underwater.

That's no problem, we can just modify our ship a little.

You're brilliant, Issac!

But of course! I am a genius, you know. But we don't have enough energy. We'll need another piece of Floatium.

Are there any more in Tanba Cave?

I seriously doubt it.

I guess we'll have to go searching around for it.

Unfortunately, we don't have the time. . . Erim is the last Sinistral, and I can feel that her resurrection is close. The Sinistral of Death must not be brought back to life. Her Spiritual Force is what awakens the other Sinistrals.

Really? It sounds like Erim will be the most troublesome.

I guess we can't spend a lot of time searching for Floatium.

Maybe there's some on Al-Ayin Islands, if Doom Island is sunken there?

The odds are quite favorable.

Yes. The Al-Ayin islands are northwest of here.

Alright, let's go then!

I will go with you. It's my duty as a watcher of the Doom Island Wars. . .

hey wait, watcher of the Doom Island wars? You mean she's. . .


That little girl from Lufia II?!


And Artea's poorly romanized helper from Lufia 1?! My goodness, this girl, and the Egg Dragon are the only characters in all three games! Apart from the Sinistrals of course.


Oh I see.


Name: Milka
Class: Elf
Weapons: Bows, rapiers
Likes: Herbal tea, tree climbing, strap-ons
Dislikes: Pollution, snowball fights, eating meat
about : Milka has the highest AGL stat in the game, much like Artea did in Lufia 2, and really high WIS to boot. She also has the benefit of equipping the best bow, and learning powerful magic such as Fry and Zap, which only she can learn through normal means. However, the rest of her stats aren't all that great, so she'll be okay as a back row support/magic/bow user.


I rearranged my party thusly. I guess I should go back to the Ancient Cave and get the rest of the best weapons, right? I'm going to do that while I watch the New Hampshire Primary on TV tomorrow night.

And that's all the (regular) characters! Hooray!

 Notice that there's room for one more character on the tab bar on the top of the character screen
