Part 101: Goddamn vortices.




Update 47
This dungeon is fucking dark.


But whatever happens, let's advance in this.



Opening that door has a peculiar effect, it provides direct access to the Vortex behind it, is there any difference if it is accessed from the other side?

Answer: No.
Entering it from any side has the same results. That should be useful to know.




Meanwhile, Cielo gets another experience level.





To the North there is another vortex.

To the East, an impassable (not really) void.



So, let's take the vortex.



Leads to a previously taken vortex



New ammo (rather powerful too)

That new ammo can beat this dude in two shots.



Clearly, ambushing the party was not such a great idea for Hresvelgr.




See? It wasn't SO impassable.



Since the North and East paths are no good for advancement, it is time t ogo South.

More vortices, and as always, just following the roar.



A new feature is, well, featured.



Electrified field tunnels. These are the reason for Core Shields.

That doesn't look too bad, eh?



... Eeek.
Going in there without protection is just asking to be wiped out in the next random encounter, and THERE are random encounters in the field.




This is useful.



Now Sera and company can just traipse through the danger filled zones with nothing to fear (except possible nasty random encounters)

Going through that danger filled corridor leads to another small terminal.

And even more goddamn vortices.





That one is pretty useless, apparently.



So let's take the one in the northern room.





That one leads to advancement.



And a level up.





Taking the southern one just leads you back to the middle of the room.



Just like the end of the light ball effect, this is mildly annoying.





Oh my.
Will the wonders ever cease?

Hanuman. Bah.



That is pretty good loot though.




Already getting tired of the teleports.




And this is one of those "We are only a mild annoyance" ones. Teleports you back 2 steps. Bah.

The one to the East is the one that serves to advance.



Sera also gets a Half-Demon form.




She beats the enemies pretty bad with that switchblade-like appendage.





Cielo is also quite vicious when Berserked.






The "receive item" dialogs are changed when Sera is the leader. Nice detail.




Seriously, getting REALLY bored of the goddamn teleports.

Iron Stomach is quite handy.


Oh boy. Another danger filled corridor.



Notice the special coloring for those corridors.




Great. More vortices.

Obviously leads to a fight with both chimerae. It is as easy as the regular encounter ones.


Next: MORE TELEPORTY.
