Heya, it's Cloudman again! I'm back with another log. I want to get back on track with these posts to be back up to date. So let's not waste any time.
Side Quest Adventures and the Ice Temple
So with the Earth Temple done, one party member suggests we go to the Ice Temple for the next summon spirit. Sounds like a good idea! But before then, I still need to find the missing fifth gnome bro from the Earth Temple. Luckily, my twin tailed fox friend gives me a few clues on what extras I missed. First off, I found where the last gnome bro was. Oddly enough, he was just hanging out in the dwarf, Altessa's house. I dunno why he was there, but he was there... I talked to him, tell him his bros are looking for him, and he rushes home. I follow suit, and we head to the Earth Temple, where the bros reside. They reunite and leave the temple, allowing me to check out the cut off path. Unfortunately, all there is is the black treasure chest I can't open.
My twin tailed friend tells me these contain the devil arms, collectible items hidden across the world. I learn I need one item to open the black boxes, and I actually passed it. Remember some logs ago in the mine? I was bomberman, Indiana Jones, and fought a flipping stone block. Last time, I crushed it with the boulder, but I didn't bother to check the stone's remains. Turns out, a devil arm, the evil eye, was in there. Why an evil item would be inside a flipping stone, I have no idea, but it was there. I went back and picked up the item, and went to the next area, Flanoir the Christmas Land, to trigger the sidequest. There is a sickly man who needs help finding devil arms to avoid dying from a curse. I offer to help him, and now I can open the black chests. I go back and open the ones I know, the forest maze and earth temple. For some reason, they hurt Presea, giving her headaches. But we carry on! Also, the devil arms are weapons I can equip, but they are weak. I can't use them in their current state...
Oh yeah, since I stopped by the forest maze, I decided to fight the sword dancer again. Last time, he owned me hard, but I am stronger than before. So I tried again, and was holding my own! My team was fighting against it, until we ran out of TP to do magic and special attacks, and CPUs are bad at staying alive. I almost lost in the end, but killed it barely... Sheena died though, so she missed exp., but we won anyways!!! : D
Everyone wins! ...Well, except Sheena, who died right at the end...
So with the quest done, I head to the Ice Temple! This one is pretty ordinary, and kind of small. There are some ice monsters to fight here. There is a new sorcerer's ring function here. Man, there are so many different functions...! Anyways, the new one lets us make ice blocks from water droplets. This is used a little bit to reach some places. I also have to freeze a lake to reach the Ice Spirit. I tried using the ring, but the flowing water is too much to freeze with the ring alone. There speaks of a flower that can freeze anything in the cave. So I need to find this flower... However, I need special gloves to even touch it! Luckily, I got the gloves beforehand x D
So I explore a different part of the dungeon, find the flower, and freeze the lake. This is where a new puzzle comes in. Remember those sliding puzzles in the pokemon games? Well, this game decided to have one too...
Eeeeveryone loves these, right...?
Personally, I loved doing these. They are a lot of fun. Doing the Tales version though took some time. Though I figured it out eventually x ) However, the door leading to the ice spirit is locked, and I have to do another puzzle, rotating these ice totem poles. The answer was in the sliding puzzle I did. So I had to go back to the sliding puzzle, look at the totem poles frozen in the ice, and then go back to solve the totem puzzle. I got it all though, and gained access to Celsius, the ice spirit...! She is quite fiesty, putting up quite a fight, but we win in the end x ) So I make the pact, and another earthquake happens, severing the mana links even further. As we step outside, we see clouds build up in the sky, and ligthning strikes down on Ozette, the forest town. So we head over there to make sure it is okay...
Burn to the Ground Ozette!, Mithos the Woman?!, the Beachy Town of Altamira, and Back to Sylverant!
Concerned for Ozette, we rush over to the town. However, it is too late. The town is set ablaze, with everyone dead. Well, except one. There is this girl who is the only survivor in the town. We talk to her, and she is actually... a boy..?? Named Mithos??? Like the hero of legends...
You would think this is a woman, right...? I did...
So we find this person, who is suspicious of us, since he is a half-elf, and they are hated in this world. However, we convince him we are good people, as well as join us in our quest, since he is alone now. Unfortunately, he is not a new party member. He can't fight... He does join conversations though.
With nothing else to do, we check on Altessa, who blames himself for this calamity. He claims it was his actions that resulted in Osette being destroyed. He believes the Cruxis group is trying to kill him, since he was involved with them, but backed out or something. Also, Tabetha, the cute girl, is a robot. : ( She still looks great though ; ) So plot aside, we stay with Altessa for the night. The next day, we find Raine is missing, and learn she headed to Altamira, the beach resort town. I guess she wants to be a bunny gurl I am certain she went to look for more clues on how to return to Sylvarant. We decide to chase after her.
Oddly enough, Regal still doesn't want to enter the town. So we go inside, looking for Raine. We do find out that Presea's younger sister has passed away, and this president guy of a company in town lets us access to his offices to pray at Presea's sister's grave. So we head to this Lorenzo company, head to the top floor, and Presea meets her deceased sister, trapped in an exsphere placed on the grave. We learn someone killed her, but we don't know who, and before she can finish her sentence, she disappears. So now we must find her sister's killer.
We also learn a festival will take place soon. It is said on a full moon that a gate will open, allowing people to cross between the 2 worlds. They are rock pillars found south of the town. So we head to the rocks, where Raine is. We also learn that Raine and Genis were from Tethe'alla, where Raine has vague memories of it.
As we are learning about Raine and Genis's past, a ninja and knights show up. The ninja was a friend of Sheena's, who is mad at her. He blames her for killing his parents, as well as other people from the village, since she failed the pact. He claims she wasn't trying the first time, and should be punished. He also sicks knights on us. We kill some, but there are too many. Sheena offers herself up to sacrifice, so the others can escape, but the portal in the center of the rocks open up, Zelos grabs Sheena, and we run away into the hole.
Next thing that happens, a comet falls from the sky, and we fall and die land into Sylvarant! We're back! : ) We luckily escaped. And this is where I stopped for this session. It's the eeeeend!
Whew, tht was long. I'll back back with one more session. See ya then!
Dance my pretties!
