Part 9: Imperial Mech Bashing to Epic Chanting

After an array of sidequests Monica informs us of sort of a 'back way' in to the Imperial Base that we need to infiltrate so we go in that way. But it's just Noctis and Cor while the others act as a distraction. By the way, the sidequests got my party to the 20's.

As Noctis and Cor fight their way through the Imperial Troops, we get a different version of Veiled in Black and IT'S EVEN BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL.

Spoiler

Eventually, after taking out the troops, we go to the entrance to meet back up with everyone, only to be interrupted by some guy named Loqi who comes in on an Imperial Airship and
OF COURSE HE'S USING A MECH. WHAT WOULD AN EVIL EMPIRE BE WITHOUT MECHS?!

Well... guess it's time for our first official 'boss fight'

OH. MY. GOD. THIS BOSS THEME. IT'S THE BEST. EPIC CHANTING. PERFECTION.

GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So... not much to say about this boss. Taking out the other soldiers is ideal so you don't get annoyed by them. Then focus on the mech. Abuse Cor's Technique so you can avoid the mech's annoying lighting attack. It's not really weak to anything so I just abused my Greatsword. I wasn't really taking that much damage myself but I had to rescue Gladiolus a few times. Not that it really matters. It may have been because my party was in the 20's. The boss was level 22 though. Still though.

I WON. BECAUSE I'M JUST THAT GOOD THAT'S WHY.



Afterwards, with the base destroyed we can move on to larger areas like Cleigne and Duscae. However, we get a scene with the evil jerks first who seem to be determined to find Luna and kill her as well as Noctis. YEAH YOU GO AHEAD AND TRY AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

Once in a rest area in Duscae, we get a phone call from Iris, Gladiolus' sister who was concerned about Noctis but not Gladiolus. Which Ignis figures is due to Noctis' name being the one thrown around as being dead. Still funny though.

Either way she's in Lestallum so that seems to be our next destination. YAY AN ACTUAL CITY. SHOULD BE FULL OF FUN EXPLORATION THAT WILL SIDETRACK ME.

But of course I'm going to do sidequests first again. By the way, I got a new battle theme for this area. Not as good as Stand Your Ground but it's still pretty good.

Spoiler

That's pretty much it.

I'm gaining levels quickly enough so soon I may even be able to take on Daemons. Maybe. Either way Duscae & Cleigne sidequests coming up.

Next time:

Sidequest cleanup once again and possibly the first city we can actually explore. Lestallum.
