Let's check out Doma Castle, now that it's been thoroughly whooped. Maybe we'll get to see IWM bust some heads open as he takes vicious and sweet revenge on the Empire that are occupying it, for slaughtering his wife, his kid, and his king?
NOPE! We just walk up to the door and they turn us away. Nothing else can be said or done. Totally lame.
Anyway, this is the entrance to the forest we have to go through, but before that, let's FIGHT!
These guys are just more fodder. They have an attack that berserks you though.
Now that I think about it though, this is our first real fight with IWM. He's not a hard character to use, in fact, you should never use the ATTACK command, ever, just quickly double tap the swordtech option and he'll use "Dispatch", which is like attack, except stronger, and you can't choose who to target.
Oh, and in a little patch of forest outside of Doma, you can find the stray cat. If you've been following along, you know exactly why fighting that little guy is so valuable.
Now, let's head into the spooky forest.
Meh, I've seen outlet stores scarier than this.
FIGHT!
A ghost eh? These are really the strongest enemies around here, and that's not saying much.
Let's just aurabolt it out of existence and move on.
WOAH! That's the most damage Boksi's done yet!
One great thing about this area is that pretty much every enemy we encounter here is weak to the holy element, which is what aurabolt is, so Boksi will be doing more damage than the other two combined for a while.
Let's head a little further in and we hit a...
Recovery spring, our second one thus far I believe.
FIGHT!
Popliums are like the things we fought at the beginning of the game, except now they only take one hit to kill.
Oooh, look at the train in the distance, maybe they'll give us a ride?
I didn't even know they had one to begin with!
Let's check it out.
Good thing you're the leader Boksi, we'd never be able to get by without that keen eye of yours.
*goes in*
IWM: Wait dumbass! This isn't any ordinary train!
IWM: See? This is the train of the dead! This carries the newly departed to the afterlife, and now we're stuck! I hope you're proud of yourself!
Boksi: Damn straight I am, I do everything for the shiggles, and nothing else! This is an incredible accomplishment in Boksi history, one that will never be forgotten.
IWM: Goddamn you...
Anyway, go due east and you'll see a little train car.
and go inside and talk to the ghost lookin' guy that's walking around.
BAM! New party member!
Doesn't get a name though. He's not gonna be around forever unfortunately, he's a temporary party member that is useful for being a damage sponge and nothing else.
Also, inside the car, you can find a guy that'll tell you about the train. He's terribly uninteresting so his conversation is excised entirely.
Also, examine this switch for a nifty scene involving IWM and Boksi. Long-story-short, IWM is afraid of machines! Hur hur hur.
Anyway, let's fight already.
Ah, a STAPLE of the Final Fantasy series, the humble bomb. Easily agitated into suicide bombing your ass if attacked.
More FIGHTS!
Ah, these guys, I'm glad I ran into them, because they're useless and weak.
That was jocular, I'm not really glad I ran into them, I hate undead, except in Heroes II, the undead are AWESOME in that game.
Man, all the ghosts here are intent on killing me, aren't they supposed to be resting in peace or something?
*Goes into a car and gets blocked in*
Hey let me out!
Yes, we get it, you can spell, now let me out before I beat your face in! Aw forget it, I intended to beat your face in anyway.
Well, I suppose now's best to show off
unique ability: Possession.
Use it in combat to attempt to deal a lethal blow that ALSO takes out our ghost friend in the process, like so:
You can't see it, but that ghost is already dead.
Totally! Thinking you could overpower me by yourself...
FUCK!
Back demons!
Don't be such a defeatist IWM, you can do anything when you have AWESOME LEG POWER!
HAHA!
Showed you demons!
Demons: N.O.E.S.C.A.P.E.
Yeah, let's do that.
Just go inside and pull the most obvious switch, which is the only one.
Take that hellspawn, I could have just plowed through all of you like nothing, but running away was more thrilling.
FIGHT!
Alright, the these enemies are pretty much non-threats, except the whispers, which can cast demi and take a hunk out of your life.
Hm, what's a classy dining car doing on the death train?
Boksi: FOR THE SHIGGLES!
Boksi: What do ya know? It worked!
Boksi: Damn straight I am. I'm not gonna be cautious when it'd be a good idea!
Boksi: Told ya! Retardedness pays off in the end!
Anyway, you can eat as much as you want, and the table acts as a healing spring basically.
Oh, and you can get these earrings.
I'ma gonna put those on Boksi. Why? Because the majority of Boksi's attacks are
magic-based, meaning that Boksi isn't so much a monk as he is a really bad spellcaster.
Anyway, into the next car!
Sweet, treasure!
Say what now?
Oh, the GREATEST swordsman you say? How come I haven't heard of you? We saw this chest first, and I'm not giving my loot to anyone! Not anyone, it's all mine! MINE!!! IT'S MINE AND I'LL KILL ANYONE THAT TRIES TO TAKE IT FROM ME! DIE!
heh?
Ha! Showed that pompous windbag what for!
AH YOU RAT BASTARD! MY RAGE KNOWS NO BOUNDS!
Atleast I ganked a Green Cherry from him because of the battle.
