My last session was long, and I wrote what I did from memory, so it wasn’t one of my best posts. This time, I’m writing along as I play, so it should be better.
I loaded the game up at the end of the fire level of the tower. The very next room was called the Devil’s Corridor and it was a tough one. As soon as I entered, I started losing health. At first, I tried to run through it, but it didn’t work. I ran back to the save point and was told by Yunica I needed to go consult someone. I returned to the bottom floor and talked to everyone.
No one seemed to offer any good advice apart from one of the students saying I should befriend some small cute furry demon creatures I’ve already met before. I thought this was just general advice, but after looking all over, I returned to the Devil’s Corridor and tried to make it to one of the adjacent rooms. One of the creatures was there so I gave him some fruit. As thanks, it taught me a melody I could play on my flute to disperse the miasma causing me damage in the Corridor.
I needed the key…
I continued exploring the next fire area and quickly found a chest I needed to open in order to get the key to the next boss. In order to do this, I needed to relight four torches located at different locations on the level. The first two were ease, but the second pair gave me trouble. I didn’t realize I could jump up to the platform above one of the rope bridges. It wasn’t very visible, but both sides of the platform had areas with the fence removed, so I could use my Whirlwind to jump up there. With the last two torches lit, the chest opened and I got the key.
The boss looked impressive and difficult, but was surprisingly easy once I figured out his pattern. All I needed to do was to run in circles, hit both of his arms until they wall off and then hit his head. On several occasions, the boss would destroy the floor, causing me to take some damage, but it was low enough that I didn’t even have to avoid it. With the monster out of the way, I went to the next area, this time with a desert theme, saved my game and completed this session.
All bark and no bite. This was one of the easier bosses.
Side note: I won’t be able to write as I play unless I use real pen and paper or play windowed. It seems the game crashes if I try to alt-tab out of it. Oh well, shorter sessions should be enough to remember most of what I did.
