Update time!
Bee better be right, I'm running out of letters to append to the file names here.
Damn, I never should have mentioned we got this thing, it'd seem so much more badass if I pretended I slogged all the way back up there without losing any MP or HP at all by virtue of my incredible skill.
Nice.
But we still have tons of MP to spare, so we may as well use some until it gets low enough to be an issue for fighting any bosses we encounter.
Heh, no Syren fight this time. Just one stupid zombie.
We must be getting closer. I didn't expect them to pallette swap these guys so soon.
They hit really hard too.
Rematch time asshole!
Code red! All safeties off!
Except those safeties. Those are useful.
Well, I guess it's better than insta kills.
Though it still hurts a ton, and Codex doesn't resist it at all.
Sweet, sweet revenge.
That was easy. This was actually a different one- the one we ran away from was already opened when we came back, oddly enough.
The other 2 chests here have GLORIOUS LOOT.
Nice. It has the same description as the Sun Armor did.
Seems like the logical weakness of rock monsters.
Or maybe this.
Eh, not bad but not good either.
I expected a better show for level 4 burst honestly. This looks the same as level 3. Bug maybe?
It does the job though.
Heh, these things still show up. Totally not a threat now.
Well damn, that could be useful.
Identify this shit Milo!
It's the only ring we've ever seen. Special compared to what?
I'd like to know what those materials are exactly. What if this is an enchanted knockoff? Debeers will be all over our asses.
Think it'll get the princess to spread her legs for us?
But gee, what spell could the HEAL RING possible cast when used?
We'll have to find out when we're actually injured. Take them down Milo!
One out of 4?
Oh now that is music to my ears.
Shit. Well, if we don't get muddled it'll be easy.
Stronger melee hits should help too.
Oh, she didn't cast Muddle anyways. Cool.
And she double attacked Codex, so we can fix that for a single heal 3 spell.
Man that is one solid hit.
20 MP cost btw, no targeting required.
Bah. I guess that's still good in the scheme of things.
Back in tip top shape.
Yeah I don't really give a fuck if Pyra dies after boosting both of them.
Deploying badass mode.
You got nothing on us this time.
So lets try this thing out.
Pity they didn't add flavour text for all this stuff outside of battle.
Nice, it's heal 3. I hand it over to Pyra so we have an emergency source in battle faster than Milo.
Oh boy, this could suck.
Eh, was worth a shot.
Huh, thats not actually that bad. I bet he casts Desoul or something though.
Though he won't be casting fuck all if this keeps up.
Damage ignoring trait, kinda annoying.
Annoying enough to hulk out over apparently.
Well, there's our ticket to the final floor, ladies and gentlemen.
Lets go!
Holy fuck the walls aren't bricks.
Spooky.
Damn, it's not a simple layout either.
New enemies too. This could be dangerous.
*crosses fingers*
*crosses fingers again*
From where? Wait, don't answer that.
Ow.
Our turn!
Not too shabby for just 2 enemies.
Oh yeah, this looks safe.
Maximum rape protocol initiated.
Rape engine at full capacity.
Damn, Burst 4 is taking names and kicking ass.
I'd say it's too bad we didn't find out what they do, but what they do is probably kill people stupid enough to find out.
Besides fork over massive xp.
Oh man, how awesome is this gonna be?
We already have enough of that shit. Well, time to head back.
Oh boy.
I don't think he's friendly.
Lol, I don't think thats even a palette swap
.
Well, he's certainly not invincible.
Thats new. New things tend to be bad.
Yeah thats a bit much.
At least he only got the one turn.
Argh, you cheapass bastard.
So we can keep up the epic Milo offense.
I wonder if she does that when asked to pass the salt too?
Can't argue with results though.
Guh.
: x
Hmm, that was not part of the plan.
This thing is fucking awesome.
Heh, I think the Siren gave more than that.
Yeah not gonna take chances here.
Man that spell kicks ass.
This was total overkill.
Gee, 2 spells and we get that much better a reward compared to almost dying in the boss fight. Though admittedly, if we let those guys attack we'd probably be looking at a TPK in one round.
Not really enough MP left to fight any more.
Thank god we had this and didn't need to come back here.
Guys? I think we're close to the end of the game now, just maybe.
Oh wow, Milo got something right for a change. Except he didn't mention the usualy 'useful' thing. But he didn't say it could break either...
Wow. Why would we use this thing in melee again? We just got a fucking laser cannon.
So much rape.
Time to patch back up though.
Almost breaking 6 digits on the gold supply.
Fixing up our ring of awesome.
Chump change for us.
We make a second shield too.
Pretty close to ideal gear now, only a few possible upgrades remain.
Wahahaha.
Yeah you guys can take a nap I got this.
Oops. I guess not everything is weak to bolt 3.
Of course, Pyra does it faster.
And it's not like we need the MP for much of anything.
Fuck, this shit is too easy now.
I should just buy back the storm sword and put it on Codex so Pyra can carry the light swod and activate it every turn at no cost.
Everything in front of us suffers and dies.
One of the paths from the spinner leads back to the torch path, so I decide to go ahead and follow it.
Another rare enemy that survives bolt 3.
Torches not as constant now. Might be getting close to.... whatever.
Huh, they resist ice?
Still frigging weak though.
Figured I should check the melee damage at least once. It is higher than the active ability by a bit.
Oh cool, another of these doors.
Holy shit, these things are actually dangerous!
Yeah this is not my ideal ambush scenario.
That... sucked. A lot.
Luckily Bolt 3 cures what ails you. With death.
Maybe this only works OUT of battle?
That shit doesn't do anything at all does it?
Pyra pulls through for us so we can keep going.
Awesome cutscene time! Amazing what you can do with 3 frames of animation looped + a slowly scrolling background, mirrored on the reverse trip.
Shit. I remember that line. We try to back up.
Uh oh.
I think they assumed we were going to move forward here.
Given our current state? That sounds likely. Wait. He's a good guy isn't he?
Quel horreur!
So what you're saying is we need the power of a tranny?
Amusing timing on that.
Just to be safe.
This is probably pointless. If we get attacked having full hp won't matter.
Nope, only here for the pillaging and raping.
Gah. Cockblocked by our own father. What an ass!
Can't you just fit through those bars? I mean the gap is like twice the size of your head.
You'd think the family resemblance would give it away. I mean, we're both walking tin cans in epic glowing armor right?
Oh, so he's probably like, a zombie now or something.
Fortunately, we have a 'FATE unlock code'. This situation can be remedied.
Fuck no. We'll find it and let you out though. After we loot all those chests behind other doors like this one.
Don't suppose you have any other bits of equipment on you? If your crown was that strong I bet your dress is better than a lightrobe. You should take it off and give it to Pyra. You know, for luck.
Codex's neanderthalian intellect is warning him that perhaps looking for mortred while Milo is dead is a bad idea. Maybe.
Pyra's own Clevian intellect concurs.
But fuck them, maybe we should press on anyways?
New level 4 map (Didn't bother with level 5, it's too small to matter yet):
