And another one...
Starts right after part 2 with nothing that even pretends to be an intro back into things...
I can’t believe I’m almost at the halfway point with only about 2 hours of playtime. That’s weird. (WEIRD LIKE HIS NECK?
YES.)
Oh! Waterfall! I CANNOT EMPHASIS ENOUGH HOW PRETTY THIS GAME IS YOU GUYS.
Hm. Leaving horse again~
Ah. Dead end. … … ooh, can I climb this?
… hee! Apparently I had to climb that!
It’s not that I’m good at anything. It’s just that my insane need to EXPLORE EVERYTHING lands me where I need to be by sheer dumb luck.
… Lizard.
Oh crap! This guy’s brutal! Really wishing I hadn’t started this, as I have no idea what to do and it is late and I am exhausted. Legs don’t do it… can’t get on him. And he has a nasty, nasty breath attack. Also, the tail is evil.
And he can get me when I’m in the building.
AND IT CLIMBS THE WALLS AFTER MEEEEE. D:
Wah! *pelts it with arrows until it falls*
…….
NO STOP COMING UP HERE.
…..
…
Oh. Ahaha. I get it.
Well, okay, I get I gotta knock him off the walls. DO I HAVE TO GO DOWN THERE HE IS SCARY
(Obviously if I want to find the weak points I do.)
OKAY NOW HE’S DEAD.
FINALLY.
Hmm… no shadows. A strange vision/dream and a really unflattering camera angle. You look ill.
... are you ill?
I am sure something is wrong.
HIS NECK IS GETTING WEIRDER THIS CANNOT POSSIBLY BE MY IMAGINATION. (It is not. It just weirds me out. What is it? From the black lightstuff? Must be…)
Here is something I’ve been meaning to say: I comment a lot on how he stumbles over his own feet and everything else a lot, but it really isn’t that frustrating. Also, since there’s almost no dialogue or interaction with anyone (other than his horse), his actions are all we can use to guess at who he is.
(It is adorable the way he kinda grunts and pats the horse when not holding a weapon.)
He’s just a kid, trying to save someone.
He doesn’t know any better.
(Maybe he’s not just a kid, but I keep finding myself thinking of him as one, and it’s not like they’re telling us anything, so.)
ALSO THIS WAS THE HALFWAY POINT.
Good morning! Wake up! Get off the shrine! Thank you~
… Did we just run over a lizard?
Ack! We did! LIZARD ON MAH HORSE. … it left its tail behind? Tail?
TAIL DID SOMETHING BUT I AM NOT SURE WHAT.
Also, horse, let us not run over any other lizards.
Geysers!
Geysers that make me flyyyy!
And a cave. With a scene in it.
And also a Colossus. … A REALLY HUGE ONE. Is that bigger than the others have been? It must be. IT IS MASSIVE.
Also it is dark in there. COME OUT HERE SO I CAN FIND YOUR SYMBOL/S.
AND LEAVE MY HORSE OUT OF IT, YOU JERK, THAT WAS REALLY MEAN.
Stupid breath attacks. >:\
I’m clearly supposed to be able to get from his belly to his back, but I keep messing up and not getting high enough somehow. Bah! So then I died twice more.
BUT THEN I GOT IT. And cut the thing’s skull open YOU LOST ALL SYMPATHY WHEN YOU LASERBEAMED MY HORSE OKAY.
My little army of shadows gathers again! Creepy.
NECK: WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD. Also, hands, now? (Wonder how long it’s been on my hands? Don’t exactly look at them very often.)
Instead of going right for the tenth, I decided to go to the other end of the VERY AWESOME bridge.
Also a very long bridge! It turns into sand (or maybe just dirt) out here, but there’s a neat little oasis, and also I found a savepoint/shrine thing that I climbed to the top of. ‘Cause climbing every random thing is fun. A lizard attacked my face while I was clinging to the wall. Exciting!
ALSO. I FOUND A TORTOISE!
And then another one!
Meanwhile, I am sure my horse is thinking I am a compete idiot.
(And, you know, I bet I’ll have to come out here eventually, anyway, to fight something. OH, WELL! I WANTED TO DO IT NOW.)
Hm. Is this the first time we’ve passed through the grave of a Colossus on our way to another? The ninth one’s remains are still here, kinda. I mean, they’re here, but they look more old than they are.
I FOUND ANOTHER TORTOISE!
And then I greatly disturbed my horse by catching a ride on a fish.
It was an accident. I was only trying to swim.
AND THEN I climbed a tree and nearly had my face taken off by a low-flying bird.
...ooh, were those bats? Or birds?
SAND CREATURE this will not be a fun battle, will it? I bet you anything I have to crash him somehow. Craaaash! Hmm.
Ahahaha he is faster than me. And it reeeeally hurts when he runs into me. (At least I can hide on the rocks to recover health.) HORSE! HORSE I ACTUALLY NEED TO USE YOU THIS TIME.
NO COME BACK I KNOW IT IS HUGE AND SCARY BUT I CAN’T RIDE YOU IF YOU’RE IN THE OPPOSITE CORNER OF THE MAP.
HEY. COLOSSUS. LEAVE MY HORSE ALONE.
…oh, gosh, the weird black stuff is on my face, too. JUST GOT A CLOSE-UP WHEN I TURNED THE CAMERA FUNNY HELLO FACE.
It’d be nice if he could get on the horse a liiittle bit faster. Or if the thing didn’t follow the horse over here. Either.
Ah! OH! Those are its eyes, aren’t they?
Heh. This one was actually pretty fun, tearing around on my horse and shooting at the thing and getting it to run itself into the walls.
I still feel bad about it, but, you know, pretty fun.
I think the voice has more male components now. There used to be a distinct female part of it, but I can’t really hear that anymore.
ARMY OF SHADOWS.
ARMY OF WHITE BIRDS.
ARMIES.
AND OF COURSE SKIN WEIRDNESS. Are those supposed to be veins? Or just… markings? Also, maybe the markings just make it seem moreso, but PALE SKIN. WE ARE OUT IN THE SUN ALL DAY (ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT IS APPARENTLY NEVER NIGHT HERE) WHY ARE YOU SO PAAAALE.
Ahahaha! Oh, man! Yeah! This next one has me running right along the bridge! If I’d just waited one more fight to go exploring…! XD But it was fun and pretty, so no complaining.
… OKAY YOU ALL KNEW I WAS GOING TOTAKE A FLYING LEAP FALL OFF A CLIFF EVENTUALLY. Honestly, I’m surprised it took me this long. *chalks up another death*
(Don’t worry – the horse is fine.)
There is a lake at the bottom of this canyon. I wonder if there are fish I can grab onto in it. … No, don’t see any.
… that is a Colossus?
It is kind of tiny, isn’t it? Also, fast. SHAKE THINGS UP A BIT WHY DON’T YOU GEEZ.
Too fast! Eek! Run and hide, run and hiiide. Or, hey, get rammed into a corner. HEY I CAN CLIMB THIS, CAN I GO UP THERE AND SHOOT HIM?
No, because he’ll knock me off.
Or knock a burning stick off, whatever. …. THAT STICK IS PROBABLY IMPORTANT I HAD BETTER GET IT.
*is a dog! Fetch!*
Now I climb back into my safe hole because fear. It doesn’t hurt me much when it runs into me, but I get up rrrrreeeeeeaaaaaalllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy sssssssssssssllllllllll-owly that’s enough of that.
Oooh! It’s afraid of fire!
(DUDE. WHY? YOU ARE LIKE. MADE OF STONE AND SERIOUSLY WHAT)
So now that he runs away from me (isn’t this a drastic change of pace?)… what do I do? I MARCH HIM ALL AROUND THE ARENA, I GUESS, I DON’T KNOW. There’s probably a magic button somewhere I have to get him to, like the third one with the arm-thing.
It is so scared! I FEEL SO BAAAAAD.
Tralala chasin’ the … it’s like a bull, maybe? Or a boar. CHASIN’ THE COLOSSUS ANYWAY – oh it fell.
CHASE IT! ATTAAAACK!!! *LEAP!*
So somehow now it’s got me backed into a corner and I can’t get it ‘cause it won’t go away. And it makes a weird barking noise. Think m’gonna have to die just to get outta this crack in the wall. <.<; I do not know how these things happen to me.
Aha! No! Never mind! I climbed up the wall more and got unstuck!
NEVER MIND THE NEVER MIND.
Ugh! It is so frustrating! Once this thing hits you once, that’s it! You take so long to get up and it’s right there and it just hits you again before you can move.
THERE.
OKAY.
Possibly I ran all the way back to the starting point and climbed up on the fire pillar again.
But, see, from here I can easily jump onto his back, since he charges the pillar…. If I jump before he actually hits it, then I’m not stunned by the impact.
IT IS VERY CLEVER, OF COURSE, OF COURSE.
You can’t run away from the black lightning, by the way. I KEEP TRYING, possibly because I’m bored and also it looks painful.
PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY
So neat! I get to go right up to the top of the waterfall! Hopefully I do not fall into the waterfall, as that would be bad.
… Can I really jump that?
Oh, there is ground on the other side of the pillar. LET’S GO THERE FIRST!
… I want to know if I can get onto the ground on the other side. Hmm.
No. So let’s go back.
Or let’s fall off at the edge of the waterfall AUGH AUGH AUGH
I caught the stone platform. IT’S OKAY! Except – wow, that’s a long drop – now I do not know how to get back to where I need to be! D:
…. No! NONONO!!
‘KAY! Here is some advice for you if you play this game and are stupid like me and decide to go investigate the waterfall up close. If you swim UNDER the water, you can get out of the current and back into safer water. Yay!
Aaaugh, this one is massive. Making up for the last one?
ALSO IT IS IN THE WATER.
ALSO IT SHOOTS LIGHTNING.
Bah!
And it is very good at watching me when I am underwater.
I AM NOT SURE HOW I AM “SUPPOSED” TO BEAT THIS ONE, BUT SWIMMING UNDER ITS ARM AND CLIMBING UP ITS TAIL? PROBABLY NOT IT.
There is probably a different andor better way to do that OH WELL WHATEVER
WERYJIGLKWBHEGFUYVIU STOP FALLING BACK INTO THE WATER
Aha. Ha. That took. Entirely too long. I COULD NOT CATCH THE PLATFORMS. And that was once I figured out what to do.
But I almost made it to one of the platforms before narcolepsy struck again…? *drowns*
Hmm! MORE PEOPLE. Who are they? Are they coming here? Yes. Why?
Poor kid’s really looking pretty awful. (HEY, YOU USED TO BE A REDHEAD. REMEMBER THAT?)
(ALSO YOU DIDN’T USED TO STAND ALL HUNCHED LIKE YOU WERE ABOUT TO FALL OVER EXHAUSTED, EITHER. Or did you? I don’t think you did…?)
Oh! We’ve gone this way before! I want to say it was one of the ones that was underground (or felt like it was, anyway), but I don’t remember. Possibly I did not have my horse with me, either. I do not remember! But we have gone this way! HELLO BLINDING DESERT AREA! HOW COULD I POSSIBLY FORGET YOU?
Woah. Woooah. How was that under the ground? How is that up in the air now?!
Do I have to kill it? It’s so pretty and graceful… It’s not even attacking me. They’re not even playing the DANGER DANGER ZOMG music.
I cannot do this tonight. ;_____; It’s just so … amazing, I dunno, I mean. Ack.
T____T
*weeps*
Next one should be the last.
I can’t believe I’m almost at the halfway point with only about 2 hours of playtime. That’s weird. (WEIRD LIKE HIS NECK?
