Cloud's Log: Day 5

 

Before I begin, I just want to say some of my feelings reflect Plat's, but even more anger induced. Yes. Chocolat is a dumb hoe that needs to be SLAPPED. Stupid girl, it's not my fault your grannie died. It's the DESIANS who did it. We TRIED TO HELP. Yet you go with them to be taken prisioner. Girl, next time I see you, Imma slap you so HARD! D:< Also, F the maze in the human ranch.

Now, let's begin...

 

The Adventures of the INFERIOR BEINGS: The Human Ranch and the Stupid Maze... 

Last time, we stopped outside the human ranch, but now, we're busting in, right thru the front door! Serious, that's what we do. We nonchalantly walk in and beat up the guards. Who does that?! Anyways, we enter the ranch, and find a new mechanic for the sorcerer's ring, or something... When you use yor ring, it makes the room green, and you can now see hidden items! They sparkle like items in Resident Evil x ) Anyways, you need to find 3 key cards to advance to Magnius and save Chocolat Bar.

So, there are some rooms riddled with guards and some hidden items. The issue is, when you use the ring, you can't seen enemies, so you may get interrupted when you're trying to get an item by an enemy you can't see. The ranch is easy for the most part: Loot the rooms for items and kill the baddies. There is one room that has a puzzle regarding bridges. You use the ring, turn on switches, and can get some items. You also have to push blocks as well. However, once you finish this room, besure to turn off all the bridges. This will let you get something later on.

So you get the 3 key cards from 3 rooms, and use them to start the next crappy part: The Maze...

So, for whatever reason, they decided to add a maze here. You are placed in a room with 4 sides and some teleporters. You have to pick the correct order to reach the end. Simple right? While HAVING TO FIGHT GUARDS TOO. So each room usually has 2 guards, so you have to fight them usually while doing the maze. Also, there are rooms with treasures as well, and we all like treasures, right? Do a correct order, and you get access to the bridge puzzle room, but in the center, but in the end, it's pointless. It only has a panacea bottle. So just skip it...

Forgot to mention, some of the sparkleys are traps that trigger fights, so becareful with the shines here. Soom you learn which ones are traps, so don't get all of them. This is only for the maze though.

I got stuck on this for so long, I wanted to lose my head. I had to fight so much, the phrases "INFERIOR BEEINGS..." and "I lost... to INFERIOR BEINGS" are burned into my mind forever... Eventually I reach Chocolat Shake, who I save, and she takes me to Magnius. We meet the boss, and he reveals that Marbel, the old woman in the beginning who EXPLODED and DIED, was Chocolat Ice Cream's Gran Gran, and she is maaaad. She goes to the guards, saying "I don't want to saved by YOU, my Gran Gran's murderers" Dumb garden hoe T_T

So I fight Magnius, who was rather easy, free the slaves, and blow up the ranch. kab00m!!!! Thus ending this section, and leaving an annoying pain in my heart. Chocolat Bunny, I hate you...

 

Dorr, Actually a Cat's Sliding Door, a Dark Turn, and Bitter Tears

So after that is done, I go back to Palmacosta to report to Dorrmat, the govna' of Palma. No one is in his office, and we now have access to the jail room o_o So we go in, and surprise, Dorrbell is working with the Desians. Oh nooooo O: Well, it is for good reason. His wife is not dead, but actually turned into a monster, just like Marbles. So to save her, he is working with the desians for a cure. The problem is... There is no cure. Dorrhandle's wife is doomed to be a monster, and his daughter is a monster too. The real daughter is dead. SlidingDorr has a rough life huh...

Anyways, he gets stabbed in the back, and his daughter is a creepy purple monster and you FIGHT.

After thaaat, she releases Dorrlock's wife, Lloyd is going to fight her, but Collette says no, and the monster goes... Somewheeere...???

Dorrbell's Wife: "Well... Gonna go somewhere..."

Anyways, Dorr Nock Nock dies, and we move on... to the GEYSER.

 

The Hot Geyser, The Jumpin' Lloyd Flash, and the One Room Temple.

So I reach the geyser: the location of the water temple and the spiritua statue. You need the 2nd for the old man back at the peak. So here is another mini game. You have to hop on icicles following Genis's calls. Mess up 3 times and you're doing it again. But it is easy, so once is likely all you need. So I got the statue, yay!!! Anyways, the water temple is here, and we go inside. I am ready for a long, annoying time, but... This is actually short. There are some enemies and you get a new mechanic for your ring, a water squirter...

Anyways, this temple is so short... There is only one puzzle, with torches and scales to put water in. Once you solve this puzzle, you're already set to fight the boss. And it is very easy, and just backtracking. Even then, there are like... 4-5 rooms in total? So yeah, it's easy, and fast. The boss is kinda hard, but nothing I couldn't handle. Anyways, I finish the temple, Collette gets sick again, we camp out in a forest... not on the island...??? And then we're back... to the island...? I dunno, this was a weird sequence.

 

And that's the eeeeeeeeend... of this session! Next time, on to new grounds!!! x )
