Part 42: NEXT!
NEXT!
This place is great for one simple reason: if you're bored enough you can level here as long as you want.

Nice place.

This place follows a pretty straight forward castle theme.
The joke here is that about half of the freaking treasure chest have monsters in them.


This gets old kinda quick. In most games monster-in-a-chest is something to fear, but here the chests are full of these pushovers:

These guys are weaksauce.

Valkyrie getting a workout.
Actually there's quite a bit of schwag here if you search around for it:



Eventually you get here.

You can't go all the way up on that ladder so you normally have to go around the long way.

I despise the long way around.

Whee. Yet another use for the ice beam. Anyway, let's head right.

Who are these fuckers?


I'm about to get a lot ruder buddy.



Sorry, but with being able to throw out a Great Magic Clincher whenever I want it's not even a fight.



The Star Guard and Robe are pretty fun. I already have better stuff then the wand, but whatever, I'm a whore.
Also if you go behind the girl trapped in the huge crystal here...

Yay more loot. By the by, we'll learn more about crystal girl later.
Ok remember how I said you can level here forever? If you leave the castle but don't go to the world map...

...like right about here.
Then head back into the castle and...

Oh my God monsters!!!
So yeah, you can level new people here real easy. Next time we hit up the Cave of Oblivion and then onto the next chapter.
