Part 8: Royal Arms & Tombs

We meet a woman named Monica who informs the group that Cor is waiting at a nearby 'Royal Tomb' where a past King is at rest. Why would he go to a place like that? Well I suppose we'll just have to go there to find out.

Once there, Cor informs Noctis that it is his duty to collect the Royal Arms now in order to protect his people, which somehow angers Noctis because his father didn't tell him this when he left and just left him with a smile. Cor states that the King wanted Noctis to remember him as his father. Still though, Noctis' emotions are still understandable considering everything that's happened.

Well... Royal Arm get. Yay I guess. It drains your HP as you use it though. I may try it at a later point. Cor also informs us that there's another Royal Tomb nearby and suggests we go get the Royal Arm there so we head that way. Cor even joins the party to help us out. He's... quite powerful. Like the Level 30's powerful.

However... we see the Imperial Army with their dumb annoying ships come into the area. OH GOODIE.

So yeah I had to fight my way through more Imperial Army troops and even some mechs as well. But somehow I got through them all. As we enter the area in question, Cor gives us a key to open the tombs and leaves already. That... didn't last long.

Well either way... it was already night and I tried to go back to a Haven but it wouldn't let me. Luckily Daemons weren't showing up. I guess sometimes they won't show up during certain instances for story purposes? I'll have to keep this mind for later so I may or may not take advantage of it.

So... the dungeon. It was... awesome, dark, creepy, scary, and intriguing all at the same time and the music was quite good. I liked it.

Spoiler

Dramatic...

However... sometimes I got attacked by some of the 'weaker' Daemons and we finally get the Daemon battle theme as well.

Spoiler

Also dramatic.

Not that I died or anything.

Eventually, after a long dungeon trek, what do I find? OF COURSE IT WAS A GIANT SPIDER WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!! (which ironically is what it was weak too lol)

I survived so that means I won. I make it to the Royal Tomb and get Royal Arm #2. BTW there are 13 in all. Hmm. 13 seems to be an important number in games. Either way we exit the dungeon and get another mission from Cor.

He wants us to destroy a new Imperial Base that has been set up. PERFECT. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO DO.

YEAH. YOU'RE IN FOR IT NOW IMPERIAL ARMY. YOU SHALL BE RIPPED A NEW ONE.

All the experience I got from all this got my party to 18. Almost to the 20's.

So now it's once again time to do some sidequest roundup and maybe some other hunts now that I'm in the recommended level for some of them. Although one of the hunts seems to be impossible to do because it's at night again and I can't seem to get to where the monster is at because DAEMONS KEEP POPPING UP.

Well... maybe I can find a way to do it. Eventually. Either way this game is getting quite good. I'm seriously addicted to it and I have to force myself to stop playing it sometimes.

Yeah. I'm in love with it now. It truly is turning into BEST. GAME. EVER.

Next time:

Sidequest roundup, Hunt roundup, and whatever else I feel like doing. Possibly destroying an army base as well. BEST KIND OF ACTIVITY.
