Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume

by ApplesandOranges

Part 77: Lap 1: Floor 3 - 3.5



I sell the Flare Crystal, and buy a Deluge Scepter for Liese. Now everyone can do Soul Crushes!



Once again, a simple fight. Langrey has Warriors and Sorcerers accompanying him, and he's a little more dangerous than Kristoff since he actually has range. Langrey uses Poison Blow for his spell.



Reinhilde is still easily overkilling them.



Auguste not so much since he doesn't have a good weapon yet.



Sure, run away and do that.



The hidden treasure here is very notable if you're using a Sorcerer.



Sacred Javelin! Now Liese is more useful. Even if you're not using one, it sells pretty well.



Langrey will take offensive actions much faster than Kristoff.





Our first death. Whoops.



Well Reinhilde will still take out most of his-



So apparently Langrey knows First Aid.







Langrey will drop Enlightenment for your Sorcerers. The shop doesn't sell Fists of Iron or Enlightenment anymore, so you'll be dependent on drops and treasures to get them.

Perhaps you recall, some years ago, having placed something, a -book-, beneath my bed.

Ah, -that- book. Well, you were "coming of age" at the time, and it seemed appropriate. I assure you the gesture was made in good faith.

Then you can imagine my horror when that -book- somehow ended up on our bookshelf-



But who would-

My mother. That mother of mine. I will never forget the tender, merciful look in her eyes.



My gods.

Can you even fathom how I have suffered?

First things first. We go teach Liese Sacred Javelin.



Langrey joins at level 11. Unlike other SG characters, Langrey actually doesn't stand out from the rest of his class at all - he's just a male Sorcerer. He starts with Frigid Damsel and Dark Savior.



Enemies this time are Skullfishes, Giant Bats, Mandragoras and a Ghoul. The Skullfishes are the biggest threat since they hit hard.



The hidden treasure here, if you go looking for it, is a copy of Virtuosity for Ushio. If you're not using Natalia, Treasure Hunters can be bought in the shop for 2000 OTH.

I'd personally just swap Natalia in, find out where the treasure in, then just reload a save, til you get enough money to easily splurge on one.



The Ghoul, while weak to Holy, has considerably high RST.





It's good to have Sacred Javelin back again.



There are two possible item drops here; a Storm Crystal and a copy of Body of Steel. Both just shop fodder.

But alas, you shall come no further!

Lord Roienburg, our war is at an end!



Wait - did you just call me what I think you called me?

I implore you to stand down, Lord Roienburg. No good will come of fighting.



You shall come no further!

Stubborn old fool!

You shall come... no further!



Huh?

Where did that come from?

You say we ate already? I see. When will dinner be ready then?



Right, so, about that dinner...

Come to think of it, aside from his illness, the margrave did mention he'd grown a tad absentminded as of late.

...

...

So you have made it this far... Is it my dinner you seek?



I fear we might be digressing from the issue at hand.

In the meantime, we had best tend to the margrave's care. Would you not agree, Broth- er, Braggart?

You've got to be joking!





...And yet you still ignore me?

My heart can take no more.
