Let's Play Touhouvania II
<< | ^^ | >>
Weapon loadout!
This is... a library?
It looks just like...
Miss Patchouli's...
...Indeed.
What on Earth is going on?
STAGE 4: Scarlet Devil Castle - Archives
In comes another irritating Castlevania staple: Fleamen! They jump around really fast and have almost no health.
Pictured is my preferred way of dealing with them.
Rather than hang around like normal enemies, these red fairies jump out, attack, then fly off again. Gotta act quick to catch them!
Axe fairies are very dangerous in groups!
These books are damn annoying - they pop out of the background and start spraying bullets in all directions.
Fortunately, a single hit destroys them, if you're quick about it.
Interactive environment!
These bookcases can be pushed freely around. Sometimes it's better to push them, sometimes it's better to jump over them...
Warlocks! Or something. They teleport around, firing homing orbs, and are generally a pain.
The enemies on this stage are pretty dangerous, but there's also quite a lot of food, a la these sandwiches.
Another secret 1UP is found!
And another nasty enemy to keep me on my toes! These wizards summon mud golems and shoot fireballs relentlessly, making approach quite difficult if you don't get the initiative.
Spaghetti!
+50% HP.
Continuing with the parade of food and new nasty enemies, these ghouly things float around vaguely, reacting to getting hit by spawning homing ghosts. Tricky!
Despite the endless nourishment, I still have some damage on me when I reach the end of the stage...
...hey, Sakuya?
Isn't that...
Patchouli!
Patchouli Knowledge
Voice: Noriko Rikimaru
Patchouli! What happened to you?
......
Who was it? Who did this to you?
Remi... Remi is...
Mistress?! What's happened to her?
Marisa Kirisame
Voice: Ryoko Shitani again
Ah? What're you guys doing here?
Marisa... Kirisame.
What a surprise... heh, as if.
Was this your doing?
Who knows?
Sounds like you know more than you're letting on.
Probably. You wanna make me talk?
The work never ends... I'm even cleaning up in someone else's castle.
My broom's no good for that.
BOSS BATTLE
Sakuya VS Marisa
Marisa pulls off all the stops from the start with her wave of stars!
And they keep expanding...
...and keep expanding!
The only save spots are right around her (with some clever backstepping) and way at the corners of the map.
And after a smaller wave of stars, I have room to get close!
The real battle begins here.
Marisa fires a barrage of pairs of lasers, each delayed by a few seconds to give you time to react.
I, personally, prefer to hang out behind her.
Then it's a wave of grenades...
And she's chargin' her laser!
MASTER SPAAAARRK
This would be so much easier if I wasn't screencapping.
One more hit and I'm history...!
If you can get behind her during a Master Spark, it's a great time to rack up damage!
Blast! This game is no cakewalk even when I can give it my undivided attention, let alone in mid-LP.
Round II is going a bit better!
Just BARELY got enough room here...
I can do it...!
THERE
Gah!
Now, tell me. Tell me everything.
Sorry! I don't know anything about this.
...What?
I just came here since it felt like the last incident with the Scarlet Devil Castle, that's all.
...If it was anyone else, I'd suspect them of lying.
Later!
No need to be so cavalier about it.
Want me to come along? Sorry, but I'll pass.
Why's that?
I'm not done checking out this library. I've got some heavy reading to catch up on.
Heavy reading, you say.
...Sakuya.
Hmm?
*stare*
Wh... What's that look supposed to mean?
It means that you thought an incident was going on, so you barged in and started stealing books.
I'm not stealing, stupid, I'm borrowing! I'll give 'em back.
...! Someone's coming!
Hah, hah...
Hah, I finally caught up...
Oh, it's just Alice.
What do you mean, "oh"?! I saw you come in here, so I followed you.
And let me tell you, it was no picnic getting here!
Good grief... we got us a real winner here.
Geez! Why do you have to be like that, even though I came all this way to make sure you were all right?
Anyway, I'm not going anywhere. You guys go on ahead.
Hey, wait a minute!
And off she goes.
So tragic...
We met up with some friends, so it's all good in the end.
Eh?
Alice and Patchouli joined your group.
