Part 47: The last ascent




Update 47


Well, here goes nothing.



Ii can't say I am pleased by the recent set of developements. Teleporty dungeonwith ghost walls. Joy.




Useful for those moments when Dekaja is not among the set abilities.



Too good to be true, right?
Yes. There are ghost walls there.



Fortunately, it is a piss easy one this time.



"Maragidyne
Fire Resist"





"Mabufudyne
Ice Resist"



Let's see what we can get 'em.




Well that is disheartening.
It's all the fault of Monotheist, you see.





Ah, false ghost walls. These I can stand.




The pot is gonna get sold.
The Great Chakra can STILL be useful, even with the Elixir, because that one only restores 50 per use.



"Death Flies
Repel Element"
She gets two of the best skills. By now, most characters are very, very broken.
This is just icing on the cake, too bad that... Well, you'll see later.






This is, by now, the most useless item found in this dungeon.
Seriously.




I really, really don't like this.
What's worse is that it won't be the last time. No sir.





Greh, about time.
The next things should be smooth sailing.



Oh jesus fucking christ.










This is not the exit.




This door. This door will become important later.






Well that was more than unpleasant, but the worst is already over, isn't it?




...
You know what?
Just go to hell, goddamnit.
WHY.




Please, tell me it is over. That the next one is just to go to the end of the place. Please.






It is not only a horrible teleporty dungeon.
It is an ugly, gray, boring, repetitive teleporty dungeon.
The song is damn great, though.





Well, that's it. This was annoying.



Goddamn you, Ghost Wall. I hate your guts.




Oh hey! This one is actually straightforward!
The end is near! I feel it!
I feel it. I feel the cosmos.



No.
NOOOOOOOOO.



Yes.
This was.



FUCK YOU TELEPORTY DUNGEON I AM OUT OF HERE HERE IS THE GODDAMN ELEVATOR.



BYE BYE I SHALL NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN wait no I will see you again. Goddamnit.



Two terminals right next to each other. There may be something of importance there.



Oh dear.

The Endless, Ananta (Gamevee)
Seriously, the party is brutal. (Viddler)
And showing part of the kickass dungeon music. (Youtube)




She does. She knows what's going on.



That in the end would not make a difference.



Now there, she is wrong.



And this? Surprisingly not a false choice.




But of course, this is what happens.




Megaten Wikilink




Ananta, like the other multiheaded serpent, Orochi, has multiple press turns, one per each head.
And it likes to use status afflictions.



But when it realizes that they are useless, it attacks physically. That ain't very effective either.



And as seen on the video, it goes down fast and hard.
Seriously, Mind Charge is BRUTAL.





Ayup.



"We can't leave her alone now!"



"Hold on, Sera. We'll catch up with you, no matter what happens."




"C'mon, Serph."



"If we continue, then we probably won't be able to turn back."



"Is there something on your mind, or are you afraid?
There's a reason we've gotten this far, and received the help of so many others.
Don't forget that."


This is the point before the point of no return.

And standing on that platform?
That's the trigger for the optional bosses. Yes.
That is the trigger.

NEXT: NO MORE TOWER FOR A LOOOONG TIME.
(Alternate, I could just go ahead and finish the game, but that wouldn't be much good, you see)
