Maid in Bunny:The Castle

<<< To: The Passageway
Castle Map
* You are now in Z-1 in the big Castle area, with no way to go back and with a Boss encounter right ahead. Use the Shiny carrot(s) here if you’re short on health.
(Note: there are FOUR Bosses in the Castle, but Elena will be able to leave after defeating the first, so you don't have to tackle them all in one take.)''
* Go west to Y-1.
Scene:
Another earthquake shakes the garden, and Café appears in front of Elena, descending from the sky. Doclund has ordered her to ward off intruders, and she is surprised to see the maid again. Elena informs her that she has come to rescue the Prince, and asks her politely if she can deliver to Rosalia her request to let him go. Café replies that the wizard does not listen to people's pleas, and that if she wants to go any further she will have to beat her first. Without wasting any more time, the demon attacks her.
BOSS: Café
Café is pretty strong, and her attacks can cover most of the arena and confuse you, so you'll have to do a lot of dodging. She usually moves flying, and only stops to cast her spells.
Her main attack is made of bolts of energy. They travel fast and add a small knockback when they hit you. She becomes stationary and surrounds herself with a circle of energy orbs as she shoots more bolts at you.
Strategy: This is the time to hit it with a Towel or two. At the end of the casting, the circle of energy orbs expands in all directions, so avoid them.
In addition, she can make 3 other copies of herself, which can float or stand at the four corners of the arena, always shooting at you.
Strategy: Approach one of them and strike it with your Broom. If you hit a copy, it will disappear, and if you hit the real Café all copies will disappear at once. Tip: when floating, if you see two Cafés grouped together, more often than not the real Café is one of them.
Her most dangerous attack comes in the form of 8 gigantic spheres of energy that practically cover the entire screen. She remains stationary in her position and begins to cast (small sparks of light can be seen around her).
Strategy: Do not approach her or waste Towels! She is invulnerable for the duration of the casting. Depending on her position, you should find the furthest point possible and hope that there is enough space to squeeze between two spheres. If she is in the middle of the screen during the casting, it may be impossible to avoid them.
If you are struck by this attack, Elena will turn blue and all your controls will be reversed for a few seconds (up is down, left is right), making it even more complicated to avoid further attacks. If Elena is affected, focus on dodging rather than attacking until you are back to normal.
This could prove to be a very difficult battle if you came out of the underground unprepared (no Cake or very few Towels). As always, lowering your game speed helps a lot.
Anyway, it takes 12 hits with the Legendary Broom (less if you also hit her with Towels) to defeat Café.
Scene:
Café is surprised by the power of Elena's weapon, and realizes she can no longer fly.
The Broom explains to the maid that this is its true potential: to absorb magical power from the enemies it touches. As the sweety recognizes that she has underestimated Elena, she backs away and falls into a crack in the ground.
Stuck underground and with no possibility of ascending, Café meets Yuri, who recognises her from Elena's stories. When she confesses to him that she no longer has any magical power, the magician seizes the opportunity to harass her, stating that all of Rosalia's minions must be punished.
Once she is undressed, Yuri comments on her childish figure, much to Café's disdain. She is well aware of her problem, which is the cause of her inexperience as a sweety. Yuri realizes that because of her underdeveloped form, she is unable to seduce humans, so he slyly claims to know a method to make her chest grow. Café admits that Rosalia often massages her for the same purpose, so the magician, wondering what the relationship between the two is, begins his well-known treatment.
After a while, Yuri notices that his body is extremely sensitive to the girl's stimulations, and realizes that, although inexperienced, she is a sweety nonetheless.
Squeezed by her tremendous power, Yuri eventually passes out, completely drained. Café discovers that she has regained her magical power, and wonders why this strange magician has decided to help her.
She flies him back to the surface and carries him away, promising Elena to settle their score soon. The rabbit maid has no idea of what has happened, and when another earthquake reshapes the terrain, she decides to move on and infiltrate the Castle without Yuri.

Scene:
Obon is waiting for Elena. The rabbit maid is relieved to see her, but the chief maid hurls a lightning bolt at her in response. Remembering her training, Elena asks her if she has done something wrong again, and Obon replies that indeed she has: she was wrong to think she could conquer the Castle and take control of the kingdom. Unfortunately for her, the country's real strength lies not in its army, but in the combined power of the Castle maids. Elena doesn't quite understand the meaning of her words, but a glance at the chief maid's face is enough for her to realize that she too has been hypnotized. At that moment, Obon attacks her.
BOSS: Obon
Obon is not a strong opponent per se, but she is very resilient and, most importantly, does not fight alone. When the battle starts, the arena will be swarmed by an endless crowd of maids, running from top to bottom in a straight line. You will have to avoid them for the duration of the battle.
Obon surrounds herself with an intermittent energy shield as she hurls an uninterrupted series of lightning bolts. They can strike random tiles or target your position. A blue light appears at the point where the lightning will strike, hitting an area of 3x3 tiles from that point.
Obon tends to stay on top of the arena, sometimes venturing close to the middle.
You can choose to stay at a safe distance and throw Towels at her, or risk it and get close to hit her with the Broom. Pay attention to the sound you hear when you strike: a screeching sound means that you have hit her shield without inflicting damage.
Whether you hit her or the shield, Obon becomes invulnerable for several seconds (her shield turns yellow).
The best strategy for this fight is to lower the game speed. Since the battle is very straightforward, just keep moving and wait for the right moment to approach Obon and strike. Play it safe by throwing a few Towels from a distance when she's not moving.
It takes 15 hits with the Legendary Broom (less if you also hit her with Towels) to defeat Obon.
Scene:
After the battle, Obon seems to recover and recognizes Elena. Unfortunately, the magic cast on her hasn't completely worn off yet, so she urges the rabbit maid to leave the room or she might still hurt her. The chief maid decides to use her remaining strength to cast a lightning bolt on herself, and assures Elena that it will be enough to knock her out without killing her, but Elena is worried and doesn't want to leave her.
At that moment Mina and Nash arrive. Obon is happy to see that the cat maid is also safe, and asks her to take Elena out of the way, but Elena claims that there is a way to get her back to normal, and that if only Yuri were there he would be able to cure her like he did with Charlotte and Riche. She doesn't know exactly what method he used, but Mina remembers the scene she saw, so she grabs Elena and blindfolds her.
She then proceeds to rip Obon's clothes off, while the unsuspecting Nash tells her that she must not resort to violence. Mina then proceeds to gear up the dog captain, who misunderstands everything and thinks the cat maid is finally responding to his affection. Soon after, Mina hurls Nash at Obon, who understands the girl's intentions and agrees to be 'treated'.
In the end, Obon returns to normal and thanks Mina, who removes Elena's binding. The chief maid recognizes Elena's weapon as a Legendary Broom, and tells her that a maid's true strength lies in strengthening her character through enduring bullying, just as she did long ago. She confirms that Elena has become a great maid, and gives her a dress that has been passed down for generations to chief maids.
Elena doesn't want to accept such an important gift, but Obon tells her that she will have to protect their Lord from now on, and assures her that in the meantime she will take all the maids of the Castle to safety. She also tells her to check her room for a special Key that will be useful to her. Mina kisses Elena on the cheek, telling her to keep working hard, so the rabbit maid resolves to press on in order to protect all the people who trust her.

Before entering V-6, a dialogue will appear with two choices:
# Proceed
# Go back
Proceed to the Audience Hall and meet Rosalia.
Scene:
In the meantime, Yuri has regained consciousness and finds himself already intimate with Rosalia.
When she teasingly asks him if he feels comfortable, he replies that the situation is usually the other way around, and happily proceeds to satisfy her. She is pleasantly surprised by the energy he still possesses despite having had to deal with Café, who took him to the wizard and left, whimpering about her chest.
When Yuri asks her about her plans, she confirms that she has no intention of freeing the people in the Castle, and that she wants to continue to stay with Cal, but that Yuri's presence is useful to vent her tension. The magician is curious to know why she doesn't vent this tension with Cal, but as she tries to explain why she can't do it with the Prince, Elena enters the room and catches them in the act. Yuri is embarrassed, but Rosalia kindly asks her to leave the room and allow them to get dressed. The polite maid obeys, and the magician is once again amazed by Elena's naivety.
After taking advantage of the time left for them to conclude their session, Rosalia invites Elena into the room. The maid asks her to let the Prince go, and the wizard replies that there is no need, as she is not bullying him, and jokingly asks her what else he can do for her. Elena is extremely confused by this unexpected answer, much to the amusement of Rosalia, who thinks how easy it is to tease her. She then proposes to honor her request and let Cal go free, but only if Elena can defeat her.
BOSS: Rosalia
Rosalia is a strong opponent, capable of executing several types of attack. However, if you know how to counter them, she becomes quite manageable. She usually floats around the room and stops to perform her attacks, which are all magical in nature, as she never comes close to hit you directly.
During her basic attack, she turns yellow and shoots magic projectiles all around her in a straight line, or throws several bombs, which look like eyes, in an arched trajectory.
Strategy: Avoid the projectiles/bombs and ignore the fact that she has turned yellow: you can still hit her during these attacks with the Broom or a Towel.
During her strong attack, she will protect herself, float even higher, and cast one of four possible spells, indicated by the colour of her shield and the shimmering light on the ground beneath her.
Red: Several pools of fire emerge from the ground in random locations, and become columns of fire.
Strategy: Stand at the bottom or side ends of the screen, as the columns never seem to reach those tiles.
Blue: A series of meteors cross the arena from the top right to the bottom left.
Strategy: The top left and bottom right corners of the screen are safe points.
Yellow: Four 'angry' orbs appear and explode, each scattering fireballs in the eight directions around it.
Strategy: Depending on the position of the orbs, you should be able to avoid the shrapnel.
Green: Four strong units are summoned to the four corners of the arena: they can be Mages, regular Knights, or the big armoured ones.
Strategy: You should get rid of them as soon as possible. This is because while you are fighting them, Rosalia can still perform all her other moves, including summoning other units.
Remember that although Rosalia is invulnerable when shielded, she can be hit in her normal or yellow state. The tricky part is figuring out exactly where she will land after her advanced attack. Position yourself carefully when waiting for her to come down.
Rosalia is very tough and it takes 20-22 hits with the Legendary Broom to take her down. As always, lowering your game speed helps.
Scene:
Rosalia notices that her magic power has vanished, and as Elena apologizes for beating her, she smiles and invites her to go to the Prince.
Once the maid leaves, Yuri reappears and asks Rosalia if she has anything else in mind, as he finds it strange that she accepted defeat so easily. Rosalia assures him that she will keep her word, freeing the Prince and perhaps the other people in the castle, but that she will remain on the throne, which is rightfully hers. Yuri questions this peculiar claim, so Rosalia reveals that the reason the King was turned to stone is because he had promised her the kingdom 10 years earlier, and that she is the rightful heir to the throne.
----
In another room, Elena finds the Prince, in bed and looking sickly. Cal is happy to see her, and when she asks worriedly about his appearance, he confides that he has done something that has exhausted him. At that moment a furious Doclund appears and confronts the Prince, declaring that he has discovered the truth: after beating Leon, the swordsman's body turned to stone and shattered, so he realized that he was just a statue under the effect of a transformation spell cast by Cal. The demon says he is not surprised, since Rosalia is also a powerful wizard of the same bloodline, but he is shocked to see Elena in the room. He immediately launches a loud attack, which attracts the attention of Yuri and Rosalia.
The Prince has magically shielded Elena, and in a moment Doclund recognizes that keeping Cal alive in order to control Rosalia was a mistake, and more importantly he regrets not realizing that the real Hero was the simple maid in front of him all along. He compliments the Prince for managing to fool him for so long, but now that the boy and the Hero are in the same place, he won't miss this chance to destroy them both. He launches an even more powerful attack, and a dazzling light floods the room.
Elena screams in terror, but when the light fades she realizes that Yuri has jumped in and is blocking the attack with his body, yelling at her to leave. Rosalia helps Cal to get up and the three of them quickly leave the room, while Yuri, who is about to succumb to the power of the demon's magic, wonders why he is doing such a thing and if he hasn't been influenced by Elena's foolishness after all. When Doclund tells him that no inferior creature can stand a chance against his magical power, the magician warns him not to underestimate humans, and that if he must die, he will take him with him. The demon realizes too late that Yuri is detonating a bomb, which explodes, striking them both.
----
Inside the Duke's mansion, a lively conversation takes place among those present: Odin, King Bole, Bonn, Obon, Mina and Nash.
A very annoyed Obon asks King Bole for an explanation. The embarrassed monarch has already revealed to all the guests that Rosalia is his eldest daughter, the rightful Princess of the kingdom, and the chief maid states that she cannot understand why she had to hijack the Castle and free a horde of demons. Rosalia explains that she was forced to do so because her father did not keep his promise to hand over the throne to her, to which the King replies that there was a condition in that promise. The Princess was supposed to spend 10 years in a monastery to refine her character, but when the King discovered that she had chosen to use that time to become a Wizard, he went back on his word. While Rosalia retorts that it is natural for every person to develop their own talents, Obon is left dumbfounded by the lack of common sense on both sides, and menacingly looks at the speechless King.
----
In Charlotte's room, Elena is looking after the Prince who is resting in bed. She apologizes for her failure to protect him, but Cal stops her and tells her that he is the one who should be sorry: he got her involved in this whole affair knowing full well that she hates fighting, and in spite of everything she did the impossible to find him and save him. When he asks her where Yuri is, she confesses that the magician never came out of the Castle, and blames herself for always being so weak and having to rely on others for help. Cal objects that she's the one who's always helping people, like she did with him at the Castle all along, telling him her stories and keeping him company.
He promises her that things will go back to the way they were, and he wants Elena to promise him the same, but he knows what she's planning to do, and that he can't stop her.
Elena lets Cal rest and sneaks out of the mansion. She asks the Legendary Broom to accompany her one last time, and the relic replies that it is its destiny to stay with the Hero until death, if necessary. While it wonders if the words used were too cruel, the maid asks what the demons' ultimate goal is. The Broom explains that the demons' homeworld is a harsh place, where only the law of the fittest applies, and that there is no doubt that if the demons were to succeed, they would occupy the entire land, enslaving humans and feeding on their life force. Elena confides to her companion that she hates fighting, but that this is a battle she must face in order to protect the people she loves, even at the risk of her own life.
The Broom states that this is the reason she is a Hero: she has asked herself the true meaning of battle, and has dared to enter the battlefield despite her fears. Elena turns her thoughts to the Prince and heads to the Castle for the last time.
This is the final act of the game. If you still have things to do, now is the moment.
# Go and gamble at the Casino to claim the Orange-3 Gemstone and Health-Up #14.
# Enter the Maze of Trials to collect the Red-4 Gemstone on the 33th floor.
# Check the Field to collect the Red-3 Gemstone. If you interact with the plant again, Elena will pick up a Pretty Flower, stating that she will give him to Cal.
New item: Pretty Flower
* Go to Eushully Dream Room, open all the chests and obtain the seven Dreams.
* Make sure you have 50 Towels and a Carrot Cake, then walk into the Castle through the main entrance.
Scene:
In the Castle, a mysterious figure is having intercourse with Rivea. The two seem accustomed to each other, and when he asks her if she enjoys this humiliation, she states that they are both the same: although she was a Goddess, she has learned to appreciate the human condition, just as he has. The man objects that all humans are weak, and that there is no one in the world who can seal him again. When he points out that she herself has renounced her divinity to live as a puny human, she replies that Elena has already shown him the pleasantness of the human way of life. He laughs sarcastically, convinced that this new Hero won't be able to stop him. At that moment, Rivea hears Elena approaching, and tells him that she has come to save Yuri, to which he replies that the magician is 'no longer in this world'.
* Return to the Audience Hall in V-6 where you fought Rosalia (north, east, north, west, north).
Scene:
In the Hall, Elena finds Doclund wounded on the ground, and asks him how he is doing. Doclund finds it ironic that the Hero would worry about a demon's life, since she is obviously there to fight the Demon King and seal him again. Elena is confused, since she was convinced that he was the Demon King, but Doclund and the Broom prompt her to look in the direction of the throne. Elena is shocked to recognize in the Demon King the features of Yuri, but the Broom is confused and does not understand how this could be possible. The Demon King Yuri explains to them that 500 years earlier he was defeated by Leon and kept alive as a human, under the care of the goddess Rivea, who erased his memory and transferred her powers to the three Sacred Treasures, thus becoming a human herself.
Elena is relieved, because if the Demon King is Yuri then she won't have to fight, but he tells her that although he was human, he was certainly not a good person, and that all these years he has been listening to his true demonic nature, not wanting to resist. The Demon King Yuri offers Elena the chance to retreat from the battle and hide, and when she refuses, he turns the surrounding into a different space, and invites her to fight.
BOSS: Demon King
The Demon King is a very powerful opponent. There are two stages in this battle, and the first one is relatively easy if you know his attacks.
In the first phase, the Demon King travels around the screen, sometimes teleporting to a random location. When he stops, he can launch energy bolts in a pattern. The first two energy bolts will travel a short distance, then abruptly change direction and target your location. Shortly after, it will emit three more bolts, flying quickly in a straight line. Lastly, he will teleport and summon 8 more bolts, launching them all around him. Sometimes the Demon King will release the entire pattern of bolts, other times only a part of it.
Strategy: Avoid them all. If you dare to approach him and strike, do so after evading the first five bolts and slip between two of the last eight.
This is very risky. You can stand at a distance and throw a Towel, but my advice is to save all the Towels for the second stage, which is much worse than the first.
The best chance to hit him is when he performs his second attack. He stops and releases a stream of energy, single-tile wide, which travels in a straight line. He may choose to launch just one, or four in the cardinal directions, clockwise. When he launches four, the first one is always aimed southward.
Strategy: By knowing this pattern, you can figure out the right moment to strike him. With the right timing, you can deliver up to three blows to the Demon King if he choose to perform the full stream pattern.
His third attack resembles that of Rosalia. He protects himself, becoming invulnerable, and launches a series of 5 lightning bolts that hit the ground (well, space).
Strategy: The lightning bolts have a pattern. Three of them (usually the first, third, and fifth) strike near the center of the screen, while the other two target your position. Simply go to the bottom of the screen and keep running back and forth. The 3 lightning bolts that hit the center will never hit you, and you should be able to dodge the other two.
Rarely, the pattern is inverted and 3 lighting bolts will target your position. The same strategy still applies.
Overall Strategy: Save Towels. Lower the game speed. Try NOT to use the Cake. The Hammer is actually a good weapon for this fight, because it allows you to stand diagonally from him during his second attack and strike him without the risk of being hit. Also, you'll need less accuracy if you try to hit him while he's close. Remember that the Hammer deals half the damage of the Legendary Broom: you'll be safer but you'll need more hits.
With the Legendary Broom, it will take 20 hits to finish the first stage.
Dialogue:
The Demon King realizes that he has lost most of his magical power, and Elena begs him to stop.
He tells her that now he will fight seriously, and the Broom warns her that what she has seen so far is the strength he uses against normal opponents, but that from now on he will apply all his power against her.
BOSS: Demon King (second stage)
The second stage of the fight is brutal, and could prove to be a nightmare even at the lowest speed. The Demon King changes all his moves and gains powerful new attacks.
He travels around the arena and stops teleporting. Instead, he can choose to charge or dash towards you. Both of these moves are surprisingly fast. The charge is performed in a straight line, with a wave effect surrounding it. It's a fast attack that exceeds your running speed, and can be followed by the exact same charge multiple times, so be careful not to get caught in his path again after dodging it.
Strategy: Avoid him at all costs and try to stay diagonal to him.
The dash is much more dangerous, and even faster than the charge. The Demon King suddenly rushes once and, if it reaches you, will hold on to you as it hovers and then crush you to the ground. This move will deal 1.5 carrots of damage to Elena (2 with the Ancient Uniform).
His deadliest move is a second version of the dash: the Demon King makes three dashes towards you, adjusting his trajectory between the dashes and covering almost the entire arena, with the same result.
Strategy: The second version is always announced by two “whooshing” sounds, so you can anticipate when he’s going do dash. Get as farthest away from him as soon as you can and, depending on his starting position, you may be safe.
Speaking of the whooshing sound, going near him is also dangerous because he often throws his fists sideways, hitting you if you’re too close. If you hear the sound twice, run.
Lastly, he can summon a series of dragon-shaped rows of fire that travel left and right across the arena.
Strategy: Try to squeeze into the nearest safe space between two of those streams of fire. The maneuvering space is very limited, and avoiding being hit may be difficult.
Overall Strategy (ranged): If you used the Hammer in the first stage, change it back to the Legendary Broom and get your Towels ready. Hopefully you have all of your 50 Towels ready for this fight. You'll want to use them all before trying to get close to the Demon King to strike.
Throw them very carefully and try to miss as little as possible. Stay away and diagonal from him and occasionally get in his direct way and throw a Towel. It all depends on your timing, his speed and a fair amount of luck. Another method is to provoke him by standing as far away from him as possible, but in his direct path. If he uses his charge, you should have time to throw a Towel and get out of the way.
When you run out of Towels, you will be forced to approach him. It's up to you to decide when to approach and strike, because there is no known pattern to his movements, except one.
Overall strategy (melee): His deadliest move may actually be your biggest opportunity to retaliate. If he starts his three-points dash near one side of the screen, and you're on the other, there's a good chance he won't be able to catch you, stopping just short of reaching your position. After the dashes, it will sometimes freeze in place for a moment. You should be able to turn towards him, strike him with your Broom and run away. Needless to say, this is an extremely risky method, but the fact is that his three-dashes attack is his only move that you can predict.
Lowering your game speed to a minimum is definitely advisable, as is having a Carrot Cake.
Try to practice the first stage until you can complete it almost flawlessly, and use the Cake in the second fight when your health is down to 1.5 - 2 carrots.
My current estimate is that it takes 25 hits with the Legendary Broom to finally defeat the Demon King (that's 50 Towels, hence the reason to try to miss him as little as possible).
