*Spoilers for the game Brave Fencer Musashi*
Entry the Nineteenth:
We are in the final stretch of this game boyo!
After grooving the crap out of Topo, our hero Musashi heads deeper into Soda Fountain, hoping to destroy that last Crest Guardian.
Unfortunately, there are a couple of major setbacks…
For one… There’s this:
That Cappriciola guy’s got our princess!
Musashi runs up the spiraling ramp, only to be stopped by the other major setback:
Sky Crest Guardian: Tower of Death
Damn this thing is huge! Musashi’s Sky Scroll auto-activates, thus giving him the ability to fly for the duration of this battle.
This Crest Guardian’s main way of attacking Musashi is through its many eyes. The eyes will shoot off lasers in a pretty predictable pattern, along with that are lightning columns that try to fence off Musashi’s path and crevices that jut out of the tower. To beat him, Musashi will have to attack a constantly moving weak point, always to be one of the tower’s eyes. Overall, this fight was a pushover. Its attacks, while strong, are so slow that it is easy to dodge. Plus, it doesn’t have periods of invulnerability that the other Crest Guardians have.
So this Crest Guardian is easily offed.
“Musashi received The Tower of Death’s core. The Sky Crest has been liberated.” Before I can activate the crest behind Musashi, Capricciola and Flatski show up with their hostage.
Flatski demands that Musashi hands over the powered up Lumina in return for the princess. Musashi, of course, doesn’t comply. So Flatski orders Capricciola to shoot Musashi. But for some reason, Capricciola also doesn’t comply. For a fuhrer, this guy sucks ass! Flatski throws a hissy fit, and Capricciola goes into melodramatic mode and reveals that Flatski killed his parents. Also he reveals that he is a prince… and also Jon.
Too many unnecessary plot twists to be had here! Jon takes aim at Flatski, but before he can squeeze off a shot Rootrick pops up and shoots him in the back. This pressures Musashi into handing over the sword. Flatski then throws the princess off the platform he’s on, and she does this hilarious faceplant onto the ground. Now with Lumina, Flatski goes on to activate the Sky Crest. But I was gonna do that anyway! Couldn’t he just wait a little longer!?
With the Sky Crest activated, the sword is now unlocked. It releases this giant oily body builder guy. Behold what Lumina has been containing inside it: DARK EVIL GIANT BODYBUILDER GUY WEARING A SPEEDO!
The giant then goes rampant. He kills off Jon, and chases after Musashi. Musashi and the princess escape the room, but not before Lumina, the sword, returns to Musashi.
NEXT TIME: THE FINAL BATTLE !
