Well, the last of our weapons and
spells are collected, and the last of the crystals we know of is
relit now.
To get to that point from where we were
at the end of the last issue, I started in Otto's house, where he
said that since the wind had died down, he could turn on his Rainbow
Road again, allowing us access to Pazuzu's Tower. I guess we'll be
playing Exorcist or something while we're there, if I know my horror
movies right. Knowing me, though, I may not.
Otto explains that the big trick to
beating Pazuzu here is not holy water and Catholic chanting, but
simply trapping him on an even numbered floor by hitting the power
switches on the elevator in the tower until we get him cornered. The
actual fight against the bird guy himself wasn't so bad, really. It
was just a matter of spamming him with Aero and White spells until he
dropped dead from it. Even had him trapped on the first floor I
found him on, because I wound up flipping the switch on the sixth
floor, and thats where he was to begin with. Not sure if that's
where he is all the time, or if the game's coded to have him on
random floors each time.
The harder fights were with the minion
enemies along the way. In the tower are quite a few self-explanatory
enemies. The Garudas were kind of like the bird enemies we were
seeing in the Bone Dungeon. There were also Sorcerers, Gargoyles,
Manticores, Thanatos, Nagas, and Beholders, all of which range from
the wizards to the eyeball monsters we've seen before, some of which
were based on previous bosses. Even the Chimeras were pretty easy to
handle.
The Flare spell is on the sixth floor;
the Excalibur, the last sword in the game, is on the fourth. I had
to get those on my way out simply because I kind of blundered into
the fight with Pazuzu before I had a chance to get them otherwise.
It's not like the fight was super hard without them, really, so no
big deal there.
There's also the business of Otto's
daughter Norma. She's just standing there on the platform on the
right when the party comes in. Talking to her's pretty much the
first thing to do, and there's no good reason not to, since she's
pretty much right there. She goes running home, leaving Ben and
Kailee to clear the tower.
There's still a couple last things to
do before finishing the game, but we'll get to at least one of those
next time, so until then, stay safe, have fun, keep gaming, and
DFTBA!
