And thank goodness for that. Note Proxxy's scan- she has tiers up to 3, and she's the master of DL2(to my knowledge). Riltia only has tiers up to four(if that thing isn't lying to us), and she's master of DL7. So the Sinister Siblings don't have that much room to grow compared to their lessers... but they do have power to make up for it.
Goom-bess scans you.
She receives a lot of useful information!
name: riltia
class: glass guardien
bio: previous employee of oric the awesome, riltia is a totally cool spearlady with no hidden talents or narrative gimmicks to worry about
I've cut out much of that spoiler to show off what we really should have seen beforehand.
1. Shouldn't there have been some proper capitalization?
2. But anyway... scan compleat. It seems Ritlia can't spell.
3. glass guardien. As emphasized by this. And she can't capitalize.
4. Thus, we might be able to detect further narrative shenanigans by examining misspellings and flaws in images. But we already knew that.
5. More importantly... look at the bio. "bio: previous employee of oric the awesome, riltia is a totally cool spearlady with no hidden talents or narrative gimmicks to worry about".
6. HOW DID WE NOT SEE THIS COMING! WE ARE BAY 12! HOW? HOW?
7. But "hidden talents". Riltia's going to be tougher than we know once we actually get to fighting her(which is why we should try Tactical Diplomacy)(that and the possibility of earning plot info).
8. Perhaps... okay. Here's plan WE ARE MASSIVE CHEATERS:
~~~
Phase 1: Test the Asynchrony Catalyst. We never did figure out what that thing does, and if it switches the locations of rooms like I think it does, we can proceed to Phase 2...Phase 2: Determine if the Asynchrony Catalyst can use its ability to rooms we've never been in(possibly not, but it's worth trying...).Phase 3: if we pass Phase 2, go to a room in DL2, use Proxxy's tracker to determine Riltia's room coordinates, then switch the room locations of Riltia's room coordinates and the room next to our room.Phase 4: Enter Riltia's boss room several years ahead of meta Warrens schedule, then use an alternative battle form to defeat Riltia and preferably win her back(I recommend Tactical Diplomacy with Groove Battle as a backup).~~~
On another note, I figured out what Ecco's soul star does.
The Vain Crescendo? That one? It creates a limited connection to
us that we can use to select songs to play, which create somewhat potent magic effects.
On another note, I have a theory of what Oric's soul star does.
Oric's soul star can copy other Soul Stars' abilities(imperfectly).
Ha!
One of the only two beings we have taken control over without using the astral influx is Oric the Awesome. He used his soul star to copy the Target's soul star and thus temporarily become the main character.
