Between battles:
Nice intro movie. I just LOVE that guy's voice. :P
Well, Grog introduces you to the village, but the villagers keep joking
about some "Death to the Interlopers"... they are joking, right?
But, wow, those statues look so good, I think I'll just break a few of
them!
Battle Map 7: Spellbound Villagers Strike
Fear in None!
* Æther SPOON! has gained a level in really weird
chapter titles (142)
As weird as this may seem, the first time I played this game this was
the toughest battle in the game... and still, this IS among the most annoying
ones due to VH's uncanny ability to counterattack EVERY attack.
Reward for all dead: Loss of Battle. :P
Reward for all statues destroyed: 1330 GP
Penalty for each villager killed: 180 GP
Item Data:
(9, 6) - Herb
(10, 2) - Moon Pie
(11,11) - Mushroom
(22,6) - Mage Oil
Current Characters:
Ash (Level 10, Hero)
Diego (Level 9, Archer)
Clint (Level 10, Soldier)
Eleni (Level 9, Mage)
Huxley (Level 10, Priest)
Kira (Level 9, Archer)
Grog (Level 10, Soldier)
Enemies:
7x Evil Statue (Priest class, level 5, 33/33 HP)
9x Villager (Monk class, level 1, 13/13 HP)
Well, my task in this section is already done for me - Clint recommended
using the boxes so you can block the villagers... but this is easier said
then done. In reality, the use of both the boxes AND spellbind helps.
However, realize that if you use spellbind, Eleni will NOT gain any experience
this battle... truly a problem.
On one positive note though... don't bother trying to get the herb. It
is NOT worth all of that hassle for just an herb.
What I did:
Hero Turn 1:
Note: If I don't say what the character is doing, they are moving forward.
Diego: Attacks Statue from ledge (20 XP, 31 damage, 2/33 HP remaining).
Huxley: Moves up the most, casts Mystic Shield (15 XP).
Enemy Turn 1:
Evil Statue Piercing Lights Huxley (18 damage).
Villagers move towards Chokepoint 1 (see Screenshot 2)
Hero Turn 2:
Huxley moves forward and pushes the box in the way of the oncoming hoard
of Villagers, then casts heal on himself (Fully healed).
Eleni: DarkStars the Statue (2 damage, 0/33 HP remaining, 8 XP)
Enemy Turn 2:
Villagers move around out of Chokepoint 2 and towards Chokepoint 3 (again,
see Screenshot 2).
Hero Turn 3:
Huxley casts Mystic Shield on Ash (17 XP).
Rest of party resettles around box, Ash in front.
Enemy Turn 3:
Villagers complete movement out of Chokepoint 2. Still no breach in Chokepoint
3.
Hero Turn 4:
Huxley casts Mystic Shield on Ash (17 XP)
Rest of party does nothing.
Enemy Turn 4:
Villagers move towards Chokepoint 3.
Hero Turn 5:
Party breaks out of Chokepoint 1 in to Chokepoint 2 area. Box is positioned
using Ash in direct line for moving in to block Chokepoint 2.
Diego attacks the Statue (25 damage, 8/33 HP remaining, 20 XP)
Eleni DarkStars the Statue (8 damage, 0/33 HP remaining, 8 XP, Eleni
Level Up).
Huxley, as no ones surprise, Mystic Shields Ash (17 XP). Yes, I'm doing
this for the XP.
Kira searches the weird location outside of Chokepoint 1 and gets a MoonPie.
Yes, I'm serious.
Enemy Turn 5:
Villagers try to reach Chokepoint 2 again, but fail to reach there in
time (this is why I waited a round).
Hero Turn 6:
Diego pushes the box to block Chokepoint 2. In retrospect, I shouldn't
have moved him in the way of the Piercing Light next round, but it doesn't
matter.
Eleni moves back to Chokepoint 1.
Enemy Turn 6:
They move BACK to Chokepoint 3. Again.
Diego gets hit with that blue crap (Piercing Light, 23 damage)
Hero Turn 7:
Eleni moves back to Chokepoint 4. Yes, this is why I had her out in front
- she is level 10 now, so she can promote, yet still has enough MP to
Spellbind if need be.
Making sure my two level 9s are in front (Diego and Kira).
Enemy Turn 7:
Still moving towards Chokepoint 3.
Hero Turn 8:
Eleni waits.
Diego shoots one (23 damage, 10 HP remaining, 19 XP, Diego Level Up),
Kira shoots the other (25 damage, 8/33 HP remaining, 17 XP, Kira Level
Up).
Ash finishes of Kira's with a nice storm since I don't feel like missing
(Ice Storm, 8 damage, 10 XP).
Huxley heals Diego (since I don't want to lose him... now at 69/69 HP,
17 XP for the Huxmeister).
Enemy Turn 8:
Villagers FINALLY go through Chokepoint 3.
More orange crap for Diego (29 damage, 40/69 HP remaining).
Hero Turn 9:
Eleni spellbinds (successful, Paralyzed) a villager. Down to 12 MP remaining.
Diego pushes a box over. Yet another mistake of mine, as I meant to go
AROUND and push it the other direction so I can shoot, but oh well.
Grog SMASH! (6 damage, 0/33 HP remaining)
Clint proves useful by grabing a Mage Potion from the chest.
Enemy Turn 9:
Nothing eventful.
Hero Turn 10:
Kira, proving to Diego that SHE is the most sexy archer in the game, pushes
the boxes correctly, but proves that she can't startle a statue with her
sexyness (Missed the statue on the bow).
Rest of party huddles around the boxes.
Enemy Turn 10:
Kira becomes one with the blue crap (Piercing Light, 31 damage, 37 HP
remaining).
Villagers just reaching Chokepoint 4 now, with an Eleni waiting.
Hero Turn 11:
Kira decides that she is pissed off at that damn blue crapping statue
(33 damage, 0/33 HP remaining, 17 XP).
Eleni moves back and spellbinds (successful) another villager.
Enemy Turn 11:
Villagers chase Eleni, film at 11.
Hero Turn 12:
Eleni moves back and spellbinds another villager (successful... I think
it is based off of the level difference).
Ash stomps down the box and goes for the Mushroom. Everyone else goes
towards the statue.
Enemy Turn 12:
2 Villagers go for Ash and friends, the rest chase after Eleni.
Hero Turn 14:
Eleni runs back and pushes the box in Chokepoint 2.
Kira nails another statue.
Party moves towards the other statue, but I made sure to keep out of the
radius of the villager's attack.
Enemy Turn 14:
Villagers look stupid. 2 of the 3 spellbound villagers wake up.
Hero Turn 15:
Ash likes Shrooms so much he dug one up out of the ground!
Kira shoots the statue (30 damage, 3/33 HP remaining, 17 XP).
Eleni spellbinds one of the meddling villagers from the box (successful).
Enemy Turn 15:
One villager attacks Kira and missed, and Kira missed her counter (LUCKILY!)
Kira is now hit with GREEN crap (31 damage, 6 HP remaining).
Hero Turn 16:
Grog SMASH! (3 damage, 0/33 HP remaining, 10 XP).
