Part 7

I forgot to mention that the Lufia II Gades sprite is the only one where he's left handed (like he should be (because Sinistral means a left-handed person (or a really evil person, whichever (parenthesis))))

So we were going to that cave.

this one, which is called Slani cave. It's only like five floors deep (for now), but here's what I encountered on the way down:


The motif of this dungeon is. . . well. . . a cave. This cave is full of Gold 100's, which you can sell for 100 each.


I should explain some of the traps: The bottom is like a bear trap, if you step on it you have to waste several steps trying to get out, and while you step in place the enemies are still moving, so they might catch you. The green. . . blob thing is. . . well when you step on it the screen flashes and all the enemies in the room appear next to you, meaning you have to fight them all one after another.


This attack is really, really good. Unfortunately,


It requires green SF, which I don't have yet. Oh well, sometime in the future, for sure.


A jungle flower! But this is a cave. . . also mosquitos, which means this must be a dark, damp cave. Gross.


This is a good IP, it raises your magic attack for the battle. Seena and Marco can both learn it, although Seena will probably actually use it. I ended up with two so I gave it to both.


Do bees live in caves? There were also bats and ghosts here.


This attack turns enemies into items, although they have to be low on hp for it to work. It's novel, but not really the most useful move.


Eventually, you end up at a normal floor. There's a save point in case you are concerned about dying.


Why did he come down into this cave, anyway? That was a weird thing to do.

Tch, you're so persistent. There's no reason for you to be after me!

We were asked by Fugo to capture you, Villan! (sic) As a hero, it's my duty. Get it?

If you're a hero, you shouldn't be helping Fugo, stupid!

You said I'm stupid! Why does everyone who meets me for the first time call me stupid?!

Maybe you ARE stupid?

Seena, why are you always trying to pick a fight?

I'm kidding, stupid.

You said it again!

Don't get so mad, shouldn't you catch the thief?

Oh, right.


Oh he's sneaky. WHY WON'T HE JOIN MY TEAM I LIKE SNEAKY PEOPLE!

Huh, where did he go?

Stupid!!! He got away!!!

What a sneaky guy. Let's look around, he couldn't have gotten too far.

See, Marco agrees with me. Oh yeah one secret on this floor:

This lamp was a secret shrine to lord Foomy. Also, there are stairs to continue down further in the cave, but if you try to go Marco says something about catching the thief. Truth be told, we won't be back here for a while. However, for now we must actually walk out of the cave, and two things happened on the way up:


I think I explained before (I know I did in the video at least) that these landmines hurt your whole party. Yes, sometimes traps will be blocking hallways, because this game can be a jerk at times. Sometimes it will put a hole under grass blocking a hallway. In the Ancient Cave.

Ironically, the item in the chest was a bomb.


I may have mentioned this, but to reiterate: sometimes you uncover healing tiles under grass, like in the AC in Lufia 2, but these heal both HP and MP. I think the ones in the AC in this game only heal hp, though.

Well, we have to find that thief, and there are two places I can look: Majari, and Albano. Clearly, since the thief is smart, he isn't going to go to Albano, so he must be in Majari.



No one like that has come here.

Hmm, let's ask more people.

KALEEB YOU BLEW IT! (If you don't get this, read this thread)

Well, he's clearly here, but we can't find him, let's just leave and


OH SNAP


Oh fuck a giant bunny is attack that kid, and also Dei came out.

M-monster. . . ahhh!

You, thief! Where were you hiding!

Doesn't matter! I've got him, help Kobin!

Marco, he's too scared to move!

Wait, don't move! Here, everything is okay, now just come over here with us!


They took Kobin to safety. I get the option to prepare, and GUESS WHAT?!





Name: Dei
Class: Thief/Ninja/Fucking Cool
Weapons: Knives, Short Swords, Bows
Likes: Lock picking, tofu, Ninja Gaiden
Dislikes: capitalism, bureaucracy, when people have more than 7 items in the express lane at the supermarket
about : Dei is the games token thief. His dress is that of a ninja, though, if you look at his official artwork (in the first post). He's fast, can steal, and isn't a terrible fighter. Later on he makes a great back row support character. Can use some magic.

Dei is fucking fast. Really, really fast. He also gives off yellow SF, which is awesome. He can equip bows, which is cool, since they do the same damage regardless of row. Later on he makes a good back row fighter. And no thief would be complete without


The ability to steal! (I taught him first aid and bolt attack) You can steal some good stuff from people, sometimes. It isn't a huge thing, but I really like thieves, and you can usually get good shit from bosses, so he'll be sticking around for a while, I think.


Yeah, this isn't much of a challenge. Its strongest attack is that it hits everyone for about 20-30 damage, except Marco, who is basically invincible at this point because of the Gades Bracelet.


That's a suspiciously large amount of gold



Thank you for saving Kobin.

We only did what's natural.

But why did that monster attack this village.

I couldn't believe it was true, but. . .

What?!

This.



Yeah, I stole it from his basement. There were other monsters like that in there. They're supposedly Fugo's pets, and they. . . eat gold.

Seriously?! I don't believe it.

I didn't believe it either, but I guess it's for real. This gold is their food.

Gold for food?! What kind of silly pet is that?!

Tell me about it.


Fucking asshole found us, shit shit shit

You! Why did you kill my precious Belumie?!

What are you saying? You shouldn't have such a dangerous pet in the first place! It's ridiculous that they eat gold!

Hmph. Poor people can't understand how fine of a pet it was! You can never understand my rich, luxurious lifestyle!

What did you say?!

Seena, calm down!


It's okay Seena, rich assholes fill me with rage too.

Keeping a dangerous pet like that is a problem.

He wouldn't be dangerous if he was fed properly! Don't you get it?! By feeding them gold, I'm making it more scarce, thus driving up the price of gold, increasing its value, and therefore increasing my riches! It's brilliant!

You're mad!

Don't talk back to me, you poor liberal cretin! Besides, what happened to catching the thief, like I asked you!

I'm that thief.

What? Oh, so you did do what I asked. I'll let it go this time, but you won't get any payment.

What? You greedy son of a bitch!

You killed my Belumie, so it's fair! How much do you think she cost?

A hundred thousand gold?

Whoa, that's a lot. I'd say half that.

Ha ha ha! Not even close! Poor people have poor imaginations. Go back to your fruity liberal arts college, you scum! Let's go now, thief. I have to repay you for what you've done. Oh wait, I almost forgot.


Argh he got Dei and the gold! You asshole! I at least want Dei back, he's fucking cool.

Marco! I want to beat up that mother fucker!

Fine by me! Let's go!


No ifs, ands, or buts. That kid's got GUTS!

Where else?! To save Dei! Who knows what Fugo is going to do to him! He might be fed to monsters!

That's true.

Dei has always stolen from the bad guys and given back to this village. Dei was always good to us, now it's my turn.

You're got courage! But we'll take it from here.

Yeah, I don't think you stand a chance.

Yeah, but. . .

Don't worry, we'll teach that Ron Paul wannabe a thing or two about the power of the people!

Okay, but give this to Dei! I found it in a cave for him!


A good IP skill for Dei, when I get him back. Next time on Let's Play Lufia III, we'll pay Fugo back, get Dei back, and who knows what will happen? Let's just say karma is a bitch.

Also I'm adding the emoticon I'm using for each character to the character list in the OP, so that you can use it as an index in case it gets confusing when there are a bunch of characters at once. UNTIL NEXT UPDATE!
