Description continuation: In this Gate of Trials, the party encounters a Big Sanguini (ビッグモーモン). In appearance, it is a Teeny Sanguini of massive proportions. It can act twice per round. Its alluring dance can charm a single ally. Its desperate attack can deal massive damage to a single party member. It can also perform a move similar to Miracle Slash that allows it to recover some HP from damage that it deals. Since the Big Sanguini can charm party members, the "Snap, Crackle, Poof" ability is a good precaution to take. Fortunately, Firo can perform this ability in addition to his priestly abilities. If you do not have many ways to prevent charm, it is not a good idea to raise party members' attack power. Lowering the Big Sanguini's attack power with an ability like Attack Attacker is also a good precaution. Aside from its big bite, the Big Sanguini is not too big a threat. At the end of the battle, the party earns a base of ca. 10,000 experience points and 2,200 gold. After the battle, the party gains control at E-4. They take the door to floor 5F, where they arrive at E-5. In the northeast of 5F, the party takes the ladder at F-3. This leads them up to the floor 6F exterior. At F-2/F-3, a red chest contains a Strength Ring (ちからのゆびわ). The party takes the ladder at F-3 back down to the floor 5F interior. In the north, they take the door at D-2/E-2 to the floor 6F exterior. Not far now! At D-6/E-6, the party takes the door to the Forbidden Altar (禁呪の祭壇). Within, a scene with Lizelotta, Muccino, and Firo takes place. Liz has found something that it looks like the party needs. She still won't listen to reason, it seems. However, in this edition of the game, we do not see a smirk on Muccino's face. The next destination is the Hilltop Church in Seredo. The party gains control at E-3 in the Forbidden Altar. It seems there is nothing to find here. The party takes the southern door at D-7/E-7 outside. From there, they Zoom back to the Town of Seredo. Seredo (time 40:33): The party rests at the inn. At E-6, Mashid has story info. The party visits the bank and deposits some gold. In the northeast, the party enters the Hilltop Church at G-2. Within, a scene takes place with Lizelotta, her minions, and Firo. Despite Firo's final appeal, Liz performs the ritual to summon Enraja the Genie. Predictably, this turns out to be a very bad idea. Worse, it comes as little surprise that Enraja is Muccino's true master. After the scene, it is boss time against Enraja the Genie (魔人エンラージャ) and Muccino (ムッチーノ). Each fiend can act twice per round. Muccino can support Enraja by boosting his tension and by boosting his magic attack power. Enraja has Disruptive Wave at his disposal, but I did not see that in this session. He can transform a party member into a double of Muccino. While transformed, that party member will put support buffs on Enraja and Muccino, such as Oomph. Enraja's spells include Bounce, Kacrackle, and Kazing. If the party defeats Muccino first, Enraja will resurrect him with Kazing. So, despite one's desire to mash Muccino, focusing on Enraja is the better strategy. Buff-removing abilities like Rake 'n' Break are very useful against Enraja. Enraja's Kacrackle spell can be deadly, especially if he is buffed and enraged, so buffing the party with Magic Barrier would be an excellent idea. Reducing the enemies' attack power is also helpful. At the end of the battle, Enraja and Muccino provide a base of ca. 20,000 experience points and 12,500 gold. Another scene takes place after Enraja and Muccino have been defeated. Firo leaves the party. The next objective is to follow Seredo's kids to Alltrades Abbey on the mountain above Seredo. Afterwards, the party gains control outside the Hilltop Church. Bosch at G-2 has story info. The party rests at the inn and saves with Sister Lani at the ruins of the church in the north. next time, they will head up to Alltrades Abbey to conclude the Seredo storyline. Thanks for watching!
