Lufia and the Fortress of Doom

by Blackbelt Bobman

Part 9




So how about that update.

Okay so we need a ship, some guy at the inn said he had a ship.


okay well I'll go through that cave that I thought was just a random cave for so reason.

. . . well fuck I forgot to screenshot the enterance to the cave but trust me it was north of Treck.


This is a weird thing, panals that fully heal you. It's weird because these are somewhere random off the path, you'd think they'd put them somewhere on your way, but no. Also, in Lufia II, they couple these with save points, which don't exist in this game, part of why it's fucking HARD.


More swampy pain panals. Anyway, there's a way to avoid damage!


The magic of float magic. Normally you'd just want to avoid damage panals, right? Not in this game!


They VERY often hide items in the swamp whatever panals. Fuck it I'm just going to call them swamp panals. Anyway, MIRACLES not only fully restore your HP and MP, they have the power to revive the dead. In fact, there aren't regular revive items, just miracles, which are increibly rare. To revive someone, you have to take them to a church and pay a ton of fucking money. It's retarded, but it's why you stay healthy! This game is unneccesarily hard sometimes.


First accessory! It raises DEF and MGR (magic resistance) a little, I gave it to Mixam for now since he's in the front row and has lower defense than Aguro.


I got a random drop, which are pretty rare in this game, unless they're like Grilled Newts, which are kind of silly. Anyway, Opals do nothing if you equip them and you can sell them for a paltry 50 gold.


Oh hey I'm on a small island and there's a ship here woohoo


A brilliant observation. I should've named him Astute!


Ssh what it's not like this is booby trapped or something.


MONSTERS who woulda guessed.


OMGoblins?!


Attack items rock.


VICTORY

Let's take this ship back to Treck.


yes, quickly. And by quickly, let's just say I went to the inn and then followed him back here. It's kind of superfluous to have me post pictures of me doing it, who cares?


Free ride Let's go now before he changes his mind.


Lorbenia.



Well. . .

MIXAM YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING FOR ME TAKE ME SHOPPING I KNOW WE HAVE NO GOLD AND HAVE NO PLACE TO PUT A BUNCH OF DRESSES BUT SERIOUSLY I WANNA LOOK NOW

. . . I thought you might say that.

Yeah, good luck with that, I'll meet you at the inn later.


Oh yeah?


Some headquarters, there's NO ONE INSIDE.


The shop. It's fucking huge. PS






That shit costs 5800 gold pieces! Think of how many monsters I'd have to slaughter to buy that! You could buy plate mail for that much!

yes but platemail isn't pretty.

Jesus woman get your head out of your vagina.

Hey let's look at these dresses over here!


Oh snap that kid just ran past Lufia.


He shouts, in a totally non-conspicuous way.


Normally you go far away from the place you steal from, but you know, standing right outside works too.



I want the gold. Where it at?!

Wha. . . what? What are you talking about!

I saw you feel up lufia and take her gold, give it back.

I'm innocent, I swear!



This kid stole your gold!

What do you mean I have it right. . . oh snap he did.

What shall we do? Slit his throat and hang him upside down so the blood drains out?!

He's just a child! Listen, do you promise never to do it again?!

I promise! Here's da gold, now leave me alone!

Fuckin kids. . .

Okay we got our gold back. Damn Leprachauns.



Oh yeah, is that his name? He's a naughty little boy!

Yeah, his name is Lou Shaia, he's the son of that Scientist, Raile Shaia.

Raile sounds like some horribly fucked up, engrish name.

Yeah, Raile travels the world doing weird shit, and it's dangerous, so he leaves his son all alone in a large town to fend for himself, which is clearly far less dangerous.

Clearly.

Okay well then. Let's stay at the inn because. . . it advances the story.



That's my name, don't wear it out! I'm hilarious.

What did the army say?

They have no interest in fighting the Sinistrals. I guess saving the world from evil would be way too much effort for them. So I defected and I'm going to join you.

Sweet deal, let's go to Grenoble and learn more about the Elf Artea.

I don't have anything to add to this conversation but I really wanted to say something.

Okay we'll head to Grenoble, once I've bought better equipment and stuff, which will involve fighting some battles and shit. Until next update!
