Let's play Tactics Ogre - The Knight of Lodis (Completed)

[dragonfk]

B I say, B.

Cheerio.

 

[lightbane]

I vote B, you don't know what kind of magical superAIDS these beings could have...

 

[Cenobyte]

Another vote for B)

They're females, after all

 

[Takeda Kenshi]

B is for Boobies. Therefore I vote B.

 

[Gerrard]

A mermaid is fine too.

 

[ghostdog]

Mermaids are descendants of Dagon, so I vote B.

 

[spekkio]

Option A: 2 votes
Option B: 6 votes

Gee, it turned out that codexers are a bunch of leftists, pacifists and generally speaking...

Fags!

What a surprise!

Anyway, let's choose option B:

It doesn't seem right. I won't obey you anymore. You never explain yourself and I'm tired of listening without question. I'm not your puppet. However, I will repay my debt to you. I'll find the sanctuary on my own and return with details on the spear.

Alright. I'll trust you. But there's no time to waste. Got it?

Yes. And afterwards... we part company.

Your next scene is Alphonse talking with Ivanna.

Alphonse explains his plan to Ivanna: they will be heading toward the Temple of Sufrir, located at the end of the Numida Peninsula. The temple sank into the ocean due to geologic instability. Since it's located near Yema Bay, it should be possible to reach Arena Island using an underwater cave (lolwut?).

Alphonse also asks Ivanna about her current goal.

She tells him that she not only wants to discover the truth behind her father's death, but also help him resolve his problems with Cybil and Rictor.

Cool story, SIS!

We have new location available:

We can also buy new stuff, mainly weapons and spells:

BRO equips Matsukaze and Necklace of Resist. Wearing the Necklace makes him unable to cast spells, but magic immunity is worth it IMO.

Dragonfk equips one Bane spell (Nightmare) in case we have to put somebody to sleep. He uses mainly his thunder spell, so two elemental spells should be enough.

Freyja equips a spear. She's not far away from reaching the requirements of Valkyrie class, so we should work on her Lancer Emblem.

I'm good at killing and masochism.

LtGenma equips a whip.

Tits equips Nightmare spell too.

Fornix equips an offensive Virtue spell. We don't need Faith spell (purifies the undead) ATM.

Yeesh equips a hammer.

Clocky stays as useless as always.

I've decided to access training to use our stat-increasing items. We move to Sufrir after that, having our 2nd encounter on the way.
Nothing big, some Lv. 6 soldiers plus Lv. 7 ninja.

Our units test their new weapons and spells:

Freyja levels up. One more point in INT and she will be able to switch to Valkyrie Class.

In Solea we're stopped by another cutscene.

You find Alphonse and Eleanor talking outside the church.
Alphonse whines like a little bitch about his problems with Cybil and Rictor.
Eleanor suggests that he should man the fuck up (confront his problems instead of running away from them)

Alphonse claims that talking with her makes him want to stay there forever , but he has obligations to fulfill.

Eleanor clearly has hots for him:

Alphonse, having a thing for young nurses, picks up the 1st option:

FFS, enough of this metrosexual shit!

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Clocky stays as useless as always.

when am I going to get my dragonball z energy ball?

Also, iirc the bowgun is some weak shit, gimme the greater bow again you jew

 

[Yeesh]

Clocky stays as useless as always.

when am I going to get my dragonball z energy ball?

Also, iirc the bowgun is some weak shit, gimme the greater bow again you jew

You just want to shoot me in the back with it, you traitorous fucker.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Just cleansing the party of the weeaboo ninjas, oniii-san

 

[spekkio]

When am I going to get my dragonball z energy ball?

You mean your SP-skill or Dragon Gem?

Also, iirc the bowgun is some weak shit, gimme the greater bow again you jew

Yeah, crossbow has greater range than bow but it pretty much sucks ass because it can't shoot outside of its range.

Battle 07 - Prologue

Orson shows up, hoping to help in our travels! Actually, it seems that Rictor sent him to help us out.

Battle 07 - Sufrir

Enemy Units: Gremlin x 3, Thunder Dragon x 2, Earth Dragon x 2
Friendly Units: Orson (Guest)

Scalefags detected!

Dragons can use breath attacks, which have additional effects.

Thunder Breath can paralyze

and Poison Breath can poison our units

Enemies have height advantage, so we should wait ~2 turns for them to come close.

Turn 2:

Turn 3: Orson rushes forward (melee archers are all the rage). Let's help this poor old fucker.

BRO attacks 1st Earth Dragon and levels up.
Bad news: Dragons have high physical defense

Yeesh attacks 1st Thunder Dragon and levels up. LtGenma does the same, levels up too. Freyja attacks this dragon too

Tits, Dragonfk and Fornix attack 1st Earth Dragon. Fornix hits Yeesh

Enemy turn: gremlins use bows, dragons attack with their breath attacks

Good thing: nobody got paralyzed/poisoned. Bad thing: they hit hard:

Tits kills 1st Earth Dragon, Dragonfk kills 1st Thunder Dragon

BRO moves forward, heals himself (he cannot be healed by magic)

Clocky and our three ninjas rape 2nd Thunder Dragon

Yeesh kills 2nd Thunder Dragon, BRO attacks 1st gremlin

Clocky misses remaining Earth Dragon, but other units hit him hard. Freyja kills him

BRO misses 1st gremlin, LtGenma punishes the 2nd one with his whip.

Fornix picks up some treasure and receives her 1st emblem:

Tits hits 1st gremlin and levels up

Damn, wizards level up quick as fuck!
Freyja kills this gremlin and levels up too

I think we have our 1st Valkyrie, people!
Other units move forward, Clocky misses one of the gremlins

Dragonfk & LtGenma kill 2nd gremlin.

With only one gremlin left I've decided to start a small civil war inside the team.
Fornix, Clocky, Dragonfk & LtGenma level up, Yeesh kills the gremlin. And levels up.

Trophies: some stat increasing items, Mirror of the Gods.

Battle 07 - Epilogue

After the battle, Orson offers to join you for good.

Apparently, Orson was dismissed from Rictor's troops so that he could join you without penalty. Rictor's last order was
for Orson to help you, even though you made yourself Rictor's enemy.

BRO, having a thing for old beardy archers, gladly accepts:

Orson Lamies

Orson is an archer that joins Rictor and Alphonse on their mission to Ovis. He is an experienced fighter and a loyal subordinate of Rictor.

Our destination is Arena Island:

But we have some work to do first. Let's give Orson our standard greeting:

Kids, I am disappoint.

Everybody in the team is either Lv.8 or Lv.7.

Freyja meets the requirements of Valkyrie class. The only thing missing is Lancer emblem. Let's access Training.

Freyja takes Dragonfk and Fornix from behind:

I spend all stat increasing items (Clocky +HP, Tits P & +INT).

LtGenma meets the requirements to become a Knight, and he should switch to this class if we want to level up his STR fast (Dragoon class requires STR 109).
Yeesh is in similar situation. Swordmaster class requires STR 95, so he should switch to Knight class at some moment. But ATM he requires 22. Knight's Certificate (be counterattacked 15 times) and 23. Book of Initiation (dodge 3 physical attacks in a row).

Freyja becomes a Valkyrie:

and equips additional offensive spell:

:shock:

Jarl would be proud!

:singlemantear:

LtGenma becomes a Knight:

Equips his whip, an amulet and an offensive Virtue spell:

:shock:

Clocky takes his favorite dragon's testicle back:

Just take a look at our veterans:

Mermaids, here we come!

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

:shock:

LtGenma may be a masochist, but that pic right there has just ensured he's going to get chopped to bits a lot. I'll be biting knee-caps before morning.

 

[dragonfk]

MOAR! ROAR! MOAR!

 

[lightbane]

Just to know: Are there instant-death attacks/spells on this game like in Tactics? Are these included on the Ironman's "rules"?

 

[spekkio]

AFAIR there are no "death" spells like in FF series. But summoner can kill other unit with one spell for sure...

You want to join ASAP, don't you?

 

[Ashery]

Just to know: Are there instant-death attacks/spells on this game like in Tactics? Are these included on the Ironman's "rules"?

There's at least one weapon that has a chance of causing instant death. Happened a couple days ago when I was going through one of the higher level arenas.

Also, don't worry at all about grinding except a bit in the beginning. With the way xp is awarded, it's easy as hell for characters that have fallen behind to catch up. I was seriously getting 100xp for using an item during one fight when I was forced to use a level four or five character in a fight involving enemies in their high teens.

Oh, and...

Holy shit, I spent 64 hours in the game? Maybe it counted the time I left it open over night or just felt too fucking lazy to close it. It's not as if VBA is a resource hog. I was seriously expecting to see half that, tops.

 

[spekkio]

I love the smell of PROTIPS in the morning...

Here, check out my three e-penises:

Of course it's from one playthrough...

 

[spekkio]

Battle 08 - Prologue

One of the mermaids spots the party:

Alphonse explains that we're looking for the mermaid's sanctuary and asks if he can speak with the leader.

Minerva asks him to GTFO

She is certain that we came to kill them all.

Mermaids are furries. Exterminate them.

Ehem.

Alphonse assures her that we come in peace.

But Minerva summons other troops to help her in fight.

Fuck it, it's time for some self-defense, people!

Battle 08 - Arena

Enemy Units: L - Mermaid (Minerva), Mermaid x 3, Hawkman x 2, Octopus x 2

She runs away...

Does she really think she can hide from

Rule34 will be applied soon, don't you worry, BROs!

 

[Clockwork Knight]

How come he always hits our own units, and almost always misses enemies?

Furry member / Comic relief :

try giving me a melee weapon after we get my energy ball shot, that'll double for a bow. The Matsukaze will do nicely

 

[spekkio]

Try giving me a melee weapon after we get my energy ball shot, that'll double for a bow. The Matsukaze will do nicely

Wasting a good weapon on an useless soldier?



Let's hope that you accidently die and make space for some more useful unit.

 

[pipka]

MOAR RAPE!

 

[Yeesh]

Apparently I'm trying my own personal no-emblem challenge! Can I pull it off?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Probably not unless you switch around your guys constantly, as you have at least the "kill 10 people" one that everyone tends to get, except clerics

Also, y so heartless, spekkio?

 

[spekkio]

Oh. Sorry, dawg:

 

[spekkio]

Yeesh equips the new shield, Clocky equips the ring:

Let's go!

Battle 09 - Prologue

We meet another group of mermaids, lead by Aerial:

Alphonse once again tries to explain that we don't want to fight, all we want is meeting their leader.

Aerial doesn't believe us:

Aerial says that we, greedy humies, invaded the ocean and should be killed.

Damn, it's time for some more self-defense!

Battle 09 - Rana Sea

Enemy Units: L- Mermaid (Aerial), 3 Mermaids, 2 Octopi, 2 Fairies

Enemies are Lv. 10 except Aerial:

All casters use Magic Leafs and move N. I was thinking about staying in starting place, but decided to move onto more solid ground (water level can rise).
BRO & Yeesh advance N too:

Enemy turn: Enemies advance SE

Clocky & BRO attack 1st mermaid

Other units move N.

Fuck, I hope that casters will reach the solid ground before the raep time.

3rd mermaid and Aerial try to put our units to sleep, but only Dragonfk is affected.

LtGenma and Tits attack 2nd mermaid, Clocky hits 3rd one.
Freyja, Yeesh and BRO attack 1st octopus:

Fuck yeah, something useful at last!

Fornix and LtGenma finish the job. With Aerial having less than 10 HP, mission ends.

Battle 09 - Epilogue

ORLY?

Alphonse acts like a hero again, promising not to kill her.
Then, he repeats that he merely wants
to speak with the leader of the mermaids. Aerial mistakes this generosity
as a display of pity, but Alphonse sets her straight, saying he just wants
to solve this peacefully... only to be insulted for being soft.

Just then, however, a normal mermaid swims up and says the leader agrees to meet with you. Aerial is in denial.

You're taken before a beautiful blonde mermaid, Chloeri, the leader of the mermaids.

Chloeri

Chloeri is the current queen of the mermaids. She understands Alphonse's wishes to restore peace in Ovis and agrees to help him.

Alphonse now tells her of his mission, about his vow to Cybil, and how he is searching for the Sacred Spear.

When she hears this, Chloeri begins to rant about the short lifespan of a human, and how easily they make mistakes.

After a bit more small talk, Alphonse asks to hear the story of the Sacred Spear.

FMV Mode

400 years ago, mermaids lived peacefully around this island. That changed
when people arrived. They burned forests and built villages. Conflicts
erupted that disturbed our quiet ocean. The quarreling never ceased and
finally a battle began for control of the island. I took up arms alongside
my fellow mermaids.

Mermaid Soldier: Commander, the humans have already entered the southern sea.

Soldier: "No. Even with your life in their hands, they'd continue to attack.
They are blood-thirsty goblins. They think everything in this world is
theirs for the taking. Why?! Why does God allow such creatures to exist
on this earth?"
"Don't do anything rash. We'll stand by you and protect this ocean."

Leader: "Chloeri, that kind of thinking will get us nowhere. What will remain
when the fighting is over? Instead, we must find a way to survive."

Chloeri (Soldier): "Are you saying that we should let the humans win, that we
should endure that kind of humiliation?"

It is we who are the soul of the sea.
As such, we will eventually become one again with the water and wind. Are
we so insignificant? Answer me!!! Is there no place for us on this earth?
Will you turn your back on us and let us fade from existence?"

Later, when I returned from battle, our leader was gone, but instead I found
a spear. It was a beautiful black spear, bestowed upon us by God. It threw
out thunder and lightning, and could pierce metal armor.

The war started anew, and ten years passed...

Chloeri: "Look once more."
"I doubt any human could have entered this sanctuary. Who took the
spear from here, then? And why?"

Soldier 2: "Has someone betrayed us? They may have conspired with the
humans."

Chloeri: "Impossible...

Our leader sacrificed herself for our sake. The spear is the
key to our victory!"

Soldier 3: "...We're being attacked!!!"

Chloeri: "Protect our ocean! I'll be right there..."

During the lengthy war, there was a mermaid who fell in love with a human.
But, such love was forbidden. She hoped that hostilities would subside if
the war ended, so, one night, she entered the sanctuary and stole the Sacred
Spear for her loved one.

End of FMV Mode

Basically, after losing the spear, the mermaids couldn't hold out any longer,
and they were forced to escape to the west, where they have lived, protected by
nature, for so long. Long story short:

Being naturally inquisitive, Alphonse asks about what happened to the
mermaid who fell in love with the human. Unfortunately, Chloeri doesn't know.
On a bright note, it was never heard that the humans found
the spear, so it might still be safe. Your only clue is a feeling Chloeri
has... that the mermaid who stole the spear is still alive and can lead you to it.

Chloeri also asks Alphonse to tell Berevra (if he ever finds her) that other mermaids are no longer angry and she should go back to them. Plus:

Asked about his next destination, Alphonse reveals that he plans to go to Urodela:

Phew, World Map at last!

Freyja equips the Trident:

However, backtracking over Arena, we run into another cutscene.

As it turns out, Aerial isn't quite through with you yet. This time, though, she's much
more understanding, and is actually trying to figure out how Chloeri's
sister could care so much for someone as to sacrifice her own kind. Then, she thanks you for saving Minerva, and...

BRO, having a thing for female non-humans (as long as they're hot), gladly accepts:

I sense some EXTREMEness going on in this thread again!

Aerial

Aerial is the strongest mermaid alive. She sees all humans as greedy and uncaring. She joins Alphonse in hopes of understanding how someone can sacrifice their most sacred thing for someone they love.

Let's proceed with our standard initiation ritual:

Motherfucker! When I get my spear back, I'ma get medieval on yo' ass!

LtGenma switches his whip for a Trident, Freyja equips the Amulet (+INT) and Thunder Chain.

Let's move out, nothing to see here, people!
