Volcano Fortress Map
Scene:
Meanwhile, in Crook Castle, Rosalia is again trying to entice the real Prince Cal. As she tries to get intimate with the boy, she is interrupted again, this time by Café. The sweety asks the wizard why she has been relieved of the task of guarding the Jewel in the Volcano, to which the annoyed Rosalia replies that Doclund has found a new keeper.
* You start in Y-9 with a Save Point.
* Go north, then west to X-8. Take Stairs A to R-8.
* Go east to S-8. Move the block around and push it into the hole. It opens the passage in Y-8.
Also, blow up the southern wall in the center with a Bomb. Go to S-9, pick up the Map and return to S-8.
* Go east, then north to T-7. Collect the Red-2 Gemstone.
* Return to Stairs A and go down to X-8.
* Go east, east, north to Z-7. Push the blocks to open the passage. Each block can be moved only once. The solution is quite simple: begin by pushing forward the 3rd block from the left. Grab the Key.
* Go south, west, north, west to X-7. Your favorite puzzle returns, this time a little larger. Same rules apply. Begin by pushing down all the slabs on two adjacent sides, and then work on the remaining 3x3 grid. Solve it and take Stairs B to R-7.
* Push the stone on the left slab (it opens the passage in Y-7). Plant a bomb in the center of the northern wall and go to R-6. Grab Health-Up #11 and go back. Descend Stairs B to X-7.
* Go east to Y-7. If you take a look in Y-6, you’ll see a big lift blocking the way.
* Take Stairs C to S-7 and go north to S-6. Press the switch with the Magic Hand to call the elevator and walk on it.
Scene:
Mina will rush in to sabotage you once again. This time she presses the switch, sending the elevator down and dropping you to Y-6.
She'll repeat the same trick every time you try to call the elevator and walk across it, so Elena's only option left is to outsmart her (yes, I know how that sounds).
* Go south to Y-7. Take Stairs C, go north and hit the switch again, but this time go back and take Stairs C to Y-7. Go north, then east to Z-6.
* Take Stairs D to T-6 and go west to S-6.
Scene:
Elena enters the room behind Mina's back. The cat maid puffs, jumps on the lift and leaves the room, leaving Elena baffled once again.
* Go east to T-6 and descend Stairs D to Z-6.
* Go north, west, nort to Y-4 (unlock the door). You found a small room with 3 switches. Set the switches Down - Up - Down.
* Go south, then west to X-5. Pick up the Rucksack.
New item: Rucksack
The Rucksack is an upgrade to the Pochette, and expands Elena's Bombs capacity to 16.
* Go back to the room with the switches. This time set them Up - Down - Up.
* Go south, then east to Z-5. Collect the Cyan-2 Gemstone.
* Go back again to the switches and set them all down.
* Go south, west, sout to X-6. Grab the Key.
Now comes the part where you'll need to operate different mechanisms in order to open some passages.
* Go north, north, east, north to Y-3. Turn the valve two times to complete the upper passage.
* Go south, then west to X-4 (upper side). Take Stairs E to R-4.
* Go north, east, north, west to R-2. The central block is a Mimic. Take stairs F to X-2.
* Press the upper left switch and take Stairs F again to R-2.
* Go east, south, west, south, south, east to S-5. Flip the switch with the Magic Hand.
* Go west, north to R-4. Descend Stairs E to X-4.
* Go east two times to Z-4. Take Stairs G to T-4.
* Go south, west, north, east, north, north to T-2 (unlock the door).
: Press the switches in the right order:
: (from left to right) 1 - 2 - 3.
* Go north, then west to S-1. The passage in this room is moving. Walk on it at the right moment while avoiding the projectiles.
* Go west to R-1. Solve the statues puzzle.
* Go south two times to R-3. Take Stairs H to X-3.
* Go north, north, east to Y-1. Wait until at least one enemy falls into a pit, walk over it and jump.
* Go south to Y-2. Solve yet another statues puzzle.
* Go south, then east to Z-3. Save your game (there's a Shiny carrot to help with your health) and go north to Z-2.
Boss: Riche
Riche is a strong opponent, very fast and unpredictable.
She usually move around the area chasing you, and can change direction very quickly. If you’re too close, she may decide to charge or hit you with her sword. She is also able to perform long jumps, covering great lengths across the battlefield.
In addition to the basic slash, Riche can cast three types of projectiles, chaining these attacks consecutively. The first is a magic shot that travels in a straight line. Most of the times these shots travel in different directions. There’s a second version of these shots though, larger and in form of a wave. There seem to be more randomness in these shot, but they are harder to dodge.
Strategy: The first attack is the easiest to avoid. The second is very dangerous, so move out of the way as fast as you can.
Lastly, Riche throws homing, slow-moving whirling shots that follow you.
Strategy:These shots can be destroyed with your weapon.
There isn’t a safe strategy against Riche, as she doesn’t seem to have a fixed pattern. The best bet is keeping some distance and wait for her to use one of her shots. If it’s wave shots, get away as soon as possible. If it’s another type of shot, you may get close to her and try to deliver a blow, particularly in the case of homing shots, as you will be destroying them too. You can always tell in which direction she’s going to fire. If you’re forced to stay at a distance, you may attempt to throw some Towels at her, but due to her speed they’re not very reliable.
A Carrot Cake is pretty much a must-have item in this fight and, as always, remember that you can adjust the game speed. Hit her 16 times with the Deck Brush to win the fight.
Scene:
The spell cast on Riche seems to have weakened after the battle, so Yuri tells Elena to go and get the Jewel, while he will take care of the girl. Elena is not convinced, so the magician explains to her that he needs privacy to dissolve the magic.
As Yuri begins his usual procedure, he ponders if this worked last time because of his skill or because Charlotte fulfilled her desires. Riche seems to be a totally different person from the one he met in Castle Town, shy and delicate, and he wonders if her violent attitude isn't just a mask.
At the end of the "treatment", the spell is broken and Riche seems more surprised than angry, as she realizes that Yuri's method really worked and she has regained her memory. When the magician tells her that it is a well-tested cure, the girl asks him if he has done this before. As he tries to come up with an answer, Riche becomes alarmed and Yuri realizes that Mina has been watching them the whole time.
* You are now in Z-1. Collect the fourth Jewel.
Scene:
As Elena retrieves the last Jewel, the barrier surrounding Crook Castle disappears.
Inside the Castle, Cal seems to have finally accepted Rosalia's advances. She tells him that she inherited her plump figure from her mother and offers herself as a motherly figure to the young Prince. Once again, Doclund bursts into the room, so Rosalia throws a powerful magical attack at him.
Annoyed by yet another interruption, she seems unconcerned when the demon informs her that the barrier has been lifted, and even asks him to bring the intruders to her in case they arrive. She is confident in her own strength, but Doclund is worried and, after leaving the room, wonders if he should manually close the entrance to the Castle. He then notices that the Prince, who has also left the room, has been listening to his machinations.
