A Horrible Massacre!!! Let's Play Crystalis (NES) Ep. 8

Welcome back to my playthrough of Crystalis!

In this episode, we finally succeed in obtaining the sword of thunder! We also skip going up Mt. Hydra the other way, since we don't have flying magic yet. We will need to come back to that area once we are able to fly.

I then explore a desert oasis cave and go to Goa Fortress. Once I head north of the town, I get a telepathic message that Shyron is under attack! I teleport there, but it's too late... everybody has been slain. I confront the attacker, Mado, another one of Draygonia's Finest Four warriors. After defeating Mado, I get the ball of thunder, allowing me to use level 2 electric projectiles.

Now that I can use level 2 electric projectiles, I return to the desert oasis cave and can now defeat and pass the wall enemy thingy. I get leather boots and the power ring from this cave, two useful items (leather boots let me walk on harmful surfaces, and the power ring increases your sword's damage, as well as having another critical function later on).

In the next episode, I will head to Draygonia Castle! And maybe do a little grinding to get to level 13. It will be perilous. Tune in to see what happens!
