Lufia and the Fortress of Doom

Part 15




Hey guys in this update we ACTUALLY GET TO ELFREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


There's the blue tower. I'll go there first. However, let's scope out the area first:


Green tower. I'll go there second!


A red tower with matching town and a. . . gross giant toxic marsh, ew!

What's up with that?


Okay, where'd she go? I'll go and get her, I guess, even though that would be another FETCH QUEST AHHH


Oh, awesome, I need to go there to continue anyway, I guess I'll kill the dark ghost along the way.

FETCH QUEST AVERTED!

Before we start this quest, I grinded Mixam up to lv20 because frankly, this part is hard and having a few extra levels under my belt makes it a lot more tolerable. Also, then I can explore a new level of the Old Cave!


More like Golden Pwn, right guys? Guys? Aw shit I think I just killed the thread.

Highlites of the fifth floor:


A lucky blade perhaps? Nay, it's actually. . . a trap! (I'm so sorry) it's a cursed weapon that skyrockets Aguro's attack, but makes him miss. Fuck that.


Much better idea for a weapon for Aguro, I'd say.


This plaze was a short maze, however it was really simple, the only problem is the enemies were from the area after Elfrea, so they were pretty tough. But I'm way tougher

Before I check out the blue tower, new enemies!


Snails that cast spells! Actually, they only cast SPEW! Which lowers my party's agility. And it's gross.


FEEEED ME MIXAM!

There are also tarantula's which are sprite recolorings of spiders, which I forgot to screenshot But enough about spiders, let's go to the blue tower!


Man, it's just so. . . blue. . . it makes me want to join a cult or something. . .


Oh. . . my. . . god. . . the pun, it BURNS sypop:

The other guys are dark elves, I guess they got tired of fighting space marines and settled down here.


Each tower has a corresponding ring, which has nothing to do with finding Elfrea, they're just awesome accessories. This one raises attack and defense


That chest looks important, I need to find a way to get to it, though.


Delicious jellybeans, which like to cast frost, and gargoyles. Topless female? Emo kid who likes to show off his rippling pectorals? You decide.


Nobody does exposition like Lufia! But anyway, I can't do anything with this now, but remember it cause I have to put a jewel here later.


Hey a hole! I love falling in holes! Just call me James Sunderland!


Our first jewel. It goes at the top of the green tower, but we can't place it there yet. Why? You have to do it in a specific order, which is lame but whatever.



That's elvish, which I can READ because I'm an ELF.


Clues to the order of which you place the jewels on the towers. . . wait was that grammatical?

Blue tower complete, time for green!


It's so green. It must not be easy being this tower. Best I could come up with.


There's an inn here which is convenient, since there isn't a town close by. I rested up and continued on!


This one raises all your stats a little, perfect for someone with low stats like Jerin!


It was up, so I put it down. See what I did there?


Oh man, they must be REALLY evil!


The switch being down let me access this middle part by changing which stairs were available. . . I should've taken a better screenshot. Anyway.


Well fuck, that means we'll need to find a replacement!


By putting the switch up, I'm able to access the other part of the above floor, which takes me to the roof.


NO FREAKING WAY?! WHERE?!

Fuck this tower, didn't even have a damn jewel in it! I'm going to the red one.


Red tower. I'm glad I'm not a bull! Ugh. . . that was painful to type.


Sweet a basement, I wonder if it's a kickin rad party basement?!


Hmm, looks like the toxic marsh affected this tower as well. I'd better go kill that DARK GHOST dude. To the top!


More elvish. In secret cryptic messages like this, it's telling me that I need to place the jewels blue, green, then red. Yes.


New enemy. Kinda looks like a chicken on fire, or something. I have no idea.


THE MOST FEARSOME ENEMY IMAGINABLE! A WATERMELON CARRYING A SPEAR. NAMED BIG MEANY. WHAT THE FUCK.


Awesome, I have a new spell that will help me wreck the boss's shit. LET'S DO IT! With a flash ring, that's pain.


Man he's ugly. And a jerk. But I guess "ugly jerk ghost" was too long.


Man. . . I wouldn't want to run into him in a dark alley. Let's zap him!


THE POWER! THE POWER!


fucking DEAD that's what he is.


She also fixes the basement, yeah yeah awesome.


Awesome.


It even refilled the two chests down here! Two jewels, one to go.


3/8

Now, where can I get a red jewel. . .


Okay.


Here we are! Jerin knows warp, which is so fucking nice you don't even KNOW.



Why do you need one so bad?

We need it to meet Artea! The Sinistrals are returning!

Well shit in that case take this, it's the real "hope ruby." I held onto it because I'm a greedy fuck. Cheers!

Weird old guy living in a mine. Anyway, there was also a diamond ring in here which raises the prices at shops, which is a strange thing indeed.

Let's go put these jewels where they belong!


Blue jade? Does that exist? Well anyway, next tower.


Okay, red one WE'RE FINALLY GETTING THERE!


FINALLY YES!



I don't hear anything.

Yeah, you wouldn't, cause you're not an ELF. Only ELVES like me can hear it. It's the warp spell of Elfrea. HERE WE GO WHEEEE


HOLY SHIT FUCKING ELFREA FINALLY!

Okay fuck all the people in this town seriously, I'm so sick of pointless dialogue let's just talk to Artea okay.




He looks familiar.



How did you know?!

I could tell by your energy. It's the same as Maxim's, I thought you were him for a second.


sypop:

We need your help to stop the sinistrals!

I'm afraid I'd be no help to you, I went blind at the battle of Doom Island. But the Dual Blade would help you.

ANOTHER FETCH QUEST YOU SAY?!

Yeah, go find Raile Shaia, he's the descendent of Lexis Shaia who helped me and my posse back in the day. He might know how to get to Doom Island, which is underwater, and where the Dual Blade is probably sleeping. It reacts to its owner's energy, and only a descendent of Maxim can wield it. Use it to defeat Daos, the head Sinistral. Go downstairs and use the warp to get to a shrine which takes you to a new continent, go south to some castle and Raile's lab is in the basement.

I LOVE FETCH QUESTS! SIGN ME UP!

This is the WHOLE GAME, SERIOUSLY.



You, Elf Girl.

What, little old me?

Yeah, take my bitchin' bow, and go smite evil with it.

THAT'S RIGHT, ARTEA'S FUCKING BOW, YEAH SUCK IT MONSTERS! Actually it isn't like amazingly overpowered but it's pretty awesome.

We're done with about 1/3 of it now, which basically means one big objective down. There are three big goals: Meet Artea, Find Dual Blade, stab Sinistrals. We've finished the first one, finally. Anyway, after warping to a new continent, we find some new town:


Where we'll start our next update!


I FINALLY GOT TO ELFREA JESUS CHRIST CAN I DIE NOW?
