This is the second the last main boss theme. The final boss theme was meh. Though, this one? Slapped hard.

I haven't played this game yet this feels nostalgic and sad. Maybe I'm losing my remaining brain cells to the heat.

That’s because it is a really tragic game. It starts off all nice and fluffy, then proceeds to beat the crap outta ya with the feels. ?

The first half of the game covers a bit about the inquisition that led to the main’s mother trying to find the philosopher stone. Both for her need as an alchemist, and to bring back evidence to free the main’s father.

It gets into Nicolas Flamel’s experiments and how he used his apprentices in order to get to his goal. And every now and then, it covers what happened to the main’s mother, as well as the Bard who spent nearly a decade looking for her.

The main ventures into the dungeon after finding out their mother went in, and it gets more tragic from there.

Second half covers the homunculus side, and more about Nicolas Flamel. As well as the homunculus suppressed memories, which led into their tragic end.

As well as Nicolas Flamel’s assistant who was obsessed with them. And used part of the homunculus’ soul to create a vessel for the homunculus.

At this part, the incomplete vessel and the homunculus is like a culmination of their desires. The vessel which was trapped for a long time, and the homunculus that tries to free them.

And naturally, this section ends tragically as well for the main. :blob_blank:

I feel like my luck is kind of odd lately. I keep finding novels and games like this that look fluffy at first glance, but are actually tragedy in disguise.

Yeah, caught me off guard as well. ?

Though, it is a very good game. Combat, think of the first half of the game being like a tutorial. Second half is brutal. It is a game that acts in real time, and tests your reaction speed.

Learning to Parry is an absolute must. Since that is how you can access the menu options in battle. Where you can use skills, apply buffs, heal, etc.

One bonus boss, you’re at 1 HP for pretty much the whole battle. And it is a long battle.

There is a third bonus boss that I never knew you could beat. Since it seems like you cannot win at that point in the game.

Turns out, it is like a 2 hour long fight, and you need to be extremely high level with tons of buff items and strong gear.

Attempting the challenge in this play through. Gonna need to grind up my HP to about 4k/5k for sure.

Most of the time, I don't understand or remember complicated strategies in games. So I just use every item, potion, or weapon at my disposal and hope for the best, even if it's not a boss fight.
