## Appearance

Tranquility's default attire in *Lunar Shadow* is almost the same as Serenity Horton's starting outfit; she doesn't wear shoes, and wears a black elbow-length glove on her right hand and also wears a face-concealing gas mask. After defeating the Castle Master, she appears to have grown; she adds a purple cape or cloak to her attire.

## Story

### *Lunar Shadow*

The second of only two clones to appear in *Lunar Shadow*, according to Ataraxis, she's "the main clone", saying that she's the perfect clone. She's the final boss alongside Aidan Flamberge, the Castle Master during the next few phases in the Death Orb MK: II.

### Post Lunar Shadow

Tranquility winds up in a cave with amnesia, having changed to Serenity's size which were side effects of the Copy Spell she used. She then obtains a weapon called the Old Bolter from a Hermit Smith cosplayer and tries to leave the cave only to collapse due to the toxic gases outside. She ends up awakening her Taint which prevents her from dying from poison even if she isn't immune to them yet.

## Image Gallery

RKS (aka Kim) confirms what happened to Tranquility post-Lunar Shadow.
## Trivia

* According to Kim, Tranquility was going to be the main character of Lunar Shadow: Grotto Narrative before Cibryll somehow broke the mod beyond playability.
* Despite being part of the final boss, Serenity never actually fights Tranquility herself. Furthermore, she never even discovers her until the final battle.

Kleure

**Kleure** is Selena Daria van der Merwe's sole weapon throughout *Solar Shadow 2*. The game lacks a proper weapons system or inventory, and has some limitations, so it behaves differently to weapons in Lunar Shadow (mod) and other Cave Story mods.

## Story

It is explicitly a non-lethal weapon. Biological beings defeated by a hit from the Kleure will be incapacitated rather than killed. Humans, valkyries and similar races are knocked out. One exception is the green fungi in Moss Garden, which self-destruct when disturbed, including by the Kleure. It is unclear what happens to entities like The Mossmouth.

The weapon affects non-living beings normally and destroys machines like any other weapon would. Some robots can survive the destruction of their physical bodies because they run on the LichenNet system, but this has nothing to do with the Kleure's properties.

## Effects

At level 1, the Kleure fires a single diamond-shaped bullet horizontally in the direction Selena Daria is facing, dealing 2 damage.

At level 2, it fires a spread of three bullets: the central bullet functions identically to level 1, while the other two fire at an oblique angle and deal only 1 damage.

At level 3, it fires a large round bullet, which causes 3 damage and has increased range compared to lower levels. It releases short pulsewaves vertically as it travels, which deal 1 damage.

## Location

The Kleure and its upgrades are found in black chests. They are the only real items in the game which can be picked up.

It is first obtained at the beginning of Entryway, where it is mandatory to enter the castle.

One upgrade can be found in the Moss Garden, next to the last save point. It is optional but there is no reason not to pick it up.

The other upgrade is found at the top of the Magic School, in the room above the second save point. However, it is out of reach at first, and can only be collected by coming down from the Ice Prison above after defeating Steve and Venton Leroi. Or, as a note from Serenity claims: "It cannot be obtained without flight."
Sky Platform (SS2)

The **Sky Platform** is an area in *Solar Shadow 2*. It is made of a framework of thin yellow platforms, exposed to the elements.

## In-Game

An area in the upper path, the Sky Platform is preceded by the Technology Tower, and re-connects at the end with the lower path in the Splendid Tower, which allows the player to skip the fights against the golden minibosses. There is a third path, blocked by an instant death barrier, which leads to the Centre Intelligence Room. The barrier is open instead if Andrea Yauman has been defeated, which is required for one of the Endings.

## Music

The music that plays is called *Superhighway*.

## Mechanics

A unique mechanic to the Sky Platform is wind, which pushes Selena Daria horizontally at a speed equal to her usual horizontal speed -- that is, while affected by wind, she moves twice as fast in the direction of the wind and cannot move at all against the wind.

## Enemies

The area lacks enemies with the exception of the level's boss, Demaseor. It has a special role in determining which ending occurs -- the player becomes locked into the upper path once it is defeated.

## Trivia

* A bug allows the Centre Intelligence Room to be reached when it is supposed to be inaccessible: taking damage from nearby spikes, which deals 10 damage and is thus survivable (except on Bad Heart Mode), gives Selena just enough invincibility frames to pass through the barrier without being killed by it.
Bao i Ora mi Que

> ```
> This page contains supplementary info, which doesn't appear in
> any of the games.
> ```
>

## Noxakaisink

**Elanarlead** or **Bao i Ora mi Que** as it's called ingame is a boss fought in Reservoir W. You'll need to defeat them in order to continue further into the Reservoir. You lose the Invidia during this fight, leaving you with one less weapon during the fight.

## Attacks

It jumps up and down and fires circular energy blades.

## Story

Serenity Horton encountered this creature while exploring the Reservoir. Lunadine sent it to attack, allowing her to cover her escape.

## Image Gallery

Cibryll confirms that this boss has a name and isn't the same character as Noxakaisink.
## Trivia

* It was confirmed by Cibryll on 11/12/20 that this Bao i Ora mi Que was named by Elanarlead by Kim in 2017 and is a different character to Noxakaisink.
* If the player didn't get the Oxygen Tank before this battle, it's very possible for the player to get to the fight and then die once the cutscene is over due to lack of oxygen.
* There's dialogue which has Lunadine abduct Aziza and summon Bao i Ora Mi Que to cover her escape. It's unknown if this is canon or not.
* There's alternate dialogue if the player defeated Grialdyn before this boss, though this is impossible because the Grialdyn fight takes place far later in the game.
Sur

**Sur** is a mysterious NPC who appears in the Taboo Zone. Nobody knows anything about the man but his association with the Taboo. Wherever they go, he is sure to follow them and he has no shortage on information about them.

## Appearance

Sur is a man wearing a pink cloak and whose only identifiable features are a red right eye and a grin on his face.

## Personality

Sur is knowledgeable about the Taboo, sparing no detail about them. He's perfectly willing to help Gunnoid-0 to locate them and holds no objections against the player intending to hunt them down. He's also willing to warp the player out of the Taboo Zone with no cost, implying that some good exists within him. Sur's past is unknown and when asked, he'll claim that to talk about himself is taboo.

## Story

### Gun

* Sur is located at the entrance of each part of Taboo Zone 1, though he also appears in Taboo Zone 2 and Taboo Zone 3. He can also be found near the boss doors for each of the Taboo. He contacts Gunnoid-0 when the robot falls into the Taboo Zone, admitting that a robot being down there is new to him. Regardless, he divulges his info about The Taboo, with his intentions unknown to the player.

## Trivia

* Sur originally didn't exist and only came about from a playtesting session of Gun v2. Due to a dialogue error in Taboo-Me's dialogue, one of King (2.0)'s playtesters had misinterpreted it; the actual dialogue refers to the Surfacians. King (2.0) then decided to create Sur, which allowed him to create a character who could give lore about the Taboo which resolved a lot of problems in the long run.
* Sur was also intentionally designed to be ambiguous in the sense in that he could either be in league with the Taboo, is knowledgeable about them or is The Taboo themselves.
Sea Zone (LS)

Sea Zone is one of the three bonus dungeons the player can access in Lunar Shadow along with Myst Zone and the Confusion Zone.

## General Information

Sea Zone is a mostly abandoned area overrun with various different monsters with the only person living there being Ignis du Blaze. Her sister Cheriza du Blaza has been sealed away in an area that requires three switches to be deactivated. There are doors leading to the Sea Zone Beach, Outer Sea Zone, Inner Sea Zone, Sea Zone, Subterranean Spire and Sea Zone, Excaliber's Shrine which have all been rendered inaccessible due to a hex Cheriza placed which makes those areas inaccessible to anyone who has been to the Lunar Soul Castle during the last week.

The location of the three switches are as follows: **Switch 1** is located at the top left of the map above a pool of water after riding across a lift over spikes. **Switch 2** is located on the right side of the map underneath the place where you fight Cheriza and requires you to destroy blocks to access it.**Switch 3** is located outside Ignis's house and located on a high ledge at the left hand side.

## Items

Life Capsule: One can be found hidden in a spiked room above Ignis's house, increasing maximum HP by 3.
Golden Life Capsule: Given to the player by Ignis after defeating her sister Cheriza.

## Trivia

* Due to a scripting error, the three switches in Sea Zone don't work properly which means the player can't fight Cheriza du Blaze.
* Unlike the Myst Zone (due to Ilina Horton) and the Confusion Zone (for the true endings), the Sea Zone is completely non-canon and is there to flesh out Ignis and her sister's characters.
HP - A Guide to Health Points

**HP - A Guide to Health Points** is a book appearing in *Lunar Shadow*, found at Servant Quarters RR. The author is unknown.

## Text

> Health Points (HP) represent the basic life form's life force. If it reaches 0, they die. All beings on Newerth are self-aware, and as such they know what their own HP is. Some even know that of their foes. By default, Newerthian humanoids tend to have 10 maximum HP. The Tainted work differently: they start at 10, but when they lose their left eye things change. The Tainted have 3 maximum HP, and it cannot be increased through the use of Life Capsules or other similar items. When they regain their left eye, their maximum HP increases significantly - it will then be 20 max HP and can be raised with Life Capsules and similar items.
>
>

## Trivia

* If the player is not on 3-HP Mode, Serenity will say "I guess I'm the exception?", thus lampshading it.
Newerthian Clock

The Newerthian Clock can be found in Tower D, one of the many rooms in the Tower. It's purpose is to change the time of day and changes appearance upon doing so. It's also useful for making Grialdyn visible or invisible. Keep in mind that using it once causes it to break.

### Trivia

* It's unknown if it also works on Azehr considering that his entire design motif is based on day and night.
Top Floor (LS)

The **Top Floor** is one of the many areas accessible within the Lunar Soul Castle and is the final area in the main story. The theme that plays is a ORG cover of Castlevania 2's Vampire Killer.

## General Information

The Top Floor is the final mandatory area in *Lunar Shadow*. With an ominous red sky outside, the castle's throne room is located in this area. Top Floor SQ exits to the Servant Quarters, while Top Floor LC exits to the central Tower. Top Floor CZ exits to the Confusion Zone, which cannot be accessed until after the defeat of the Castle Master.

## Items

* Life Capsules: these only appear outside of 3-HP mode. In 3-HP mode, they don't appear at all.
	+ One is hidden at Top Floor O, increasing maximum HP by 11.
	+ One is found at Top Floor LC, increasing maximum HP by 7.
* Life Pot: four can be found at the Top Floor Throne Room.
* Mana for the Acidic Bubble Spell: treasure chests containing these can only be obtained when the spell is learned.
	+ A treasure chest increases the mana for it by 5. It is found at Top Floor XY.

## Enemies

* Maids (regular enemies)
* Aidan Flamberge and Tranquility (final boss fight)
* Ataraxis (major boss fight)
* Lunadine Crimstaine and Shinica Horton (major boss fight)
	+ The boss fight can be skipped by battling Alexis Flamberge in the Tower first.
* Noxakaisink (optional boss)

## Trivia

* The battle with Azehr has 5 phases which rivals Shiori Shauntel in terms of total forms, also meaning that he has one form more than the final boss.
* Top Floor has the most boss fights out of any area in Lunar Shadow, with one of them being a post-game boss and two being skippable.
Version Differences In Lunar Shadow

Being a mod, Lunar Shadow has gone through several versions. For the most part, the core game has been kept the same but some things were either altered or outright replaced during the creation of new versions.

### Version 0 (Beta)

Initially released on 16 January 2015; ended at the boss room of the Entrance area with Igor as a "boss"

### Version 1

#### v1a)

Released on 17 January 2015; had fifteen Entrance rooms (out of seventeen) and had the actual boss of the area, Xyz.

#### v1b)

Released on 17 January 2015; fixed a major bug in the starting screen which prevented one from leaving the house.

#### Version 2

Released on 19 January 2015; had all the Entrance and Laboratory rooms.

#### Version 3

Released on 19 February 2015; had Entrance, Laboratory, Reservoir, Tower and Servant Quarters areas.

From this version onward, the Super Missile Launcher and the Missile Launcher cannot be obtained.

#### Version 4

Released on 29 December 2015, is the most complete version at this point.
Lunar Sickle

**Lunar Sickle** is a weapon that can be obtained in *Lunar Shadow*. The spell allows Serenity Horton to fire a weak Lunar-elemental sickle that passes through walls.

## Location

The Lunar Sickle can be found in Tower AT in a treasure chest, though taking it locks the chest containing Zero's Lament.

If the player takes Zero's Lament instead, the Lunar Sickle can be found in the Confusion Zone (LS) instead, by solving a puzzle in Servant Quarters RR and entering one of the doorways that are created by the puzzle.

## In-Game Description

## Trivia

* The Weapons's settings are set to Ignore Solid and Break Blocks; due to Ignore Solid overriding Break Blocks, this allows the weapon to go through breakable tiles without breaking them.

**Philosophia** est une ville située au nord-est de l'Etat de Sunrust et constitue le comté de Philosophia.

## Situation

Philosophia est une ville située au nord-est de l'Etat de Sunrust, majoritairement située sur une presqu'île et que sur la baie de [Nom] ainsi que sur deux îles, [Nom] et [nom].

Ses banlieues, situées au nord de la ville, se situent dans le comté de Silenttle, dont le chef-lieu, Silenttle ne semble plus constituer une ville indépendante de Philosophia, mais plutôt une grande banlieue lointaine de celle-ci, car le tissu urbain est continu entre les deux.

### Accessibilité

#### Routière

Philosophia est la seule grande ville de l'Etat à ne pas être avoir de portion d'autoroute sur son territoire ou sur ses franges.

Néanmoins, elle en demeure très accessible, étant en réalité traversée par deux voies rapides successives formant une demi-boucle puis connectées à la Nook Highway, une portion de l'autoroute faisant le tour de l'île de Goldeaver reliant Weedginton à Brawston *via* Silenttle.

Ces deux voies rapides sont situées:

* Pour la première, la Northeast-to-More-Northeast Expressway, abregée NETMNEE, en tranchée partiellement couverte en plein centre-ville et reliée à la Nook Highway par le pont [nom].
* Pour la seconde, Opposite to NETMNEE Expressway, abrégée OTNETMNEEE, passe au nord de la ville puis le long de la baie de [nom].

#### Ferroviaire

Grâce à sa gare, Philosophia est connectée à Twadlight à l'ouest via Silenttle et à Brawston puis Cheatcago au Sud.

#### Portuaire

De par sa situation, Philosophia est propice à l'installation d'activités portuaires.
Ainsi, un port industriel, [nom], existe au nord de la ville, le long de la baie [nom]. Même si quelques autres activités industrielles portuaires demeurent à d'autres endroits de la ville, il en demeure de loin le plus important.
Egalement, de nombreux pontons auxquels sont accostées des péniches sont situés sur les abords de la presqu'île de Philosophia. L'est de la presqu'île, surtout le long de [nom] Park en comporte cependant de manière plus dense.

#### Aéroportuaire

Au nord-est de la ville se trouve l'aéroport international de Philosophia, [nom]. Il est le deuxième plus grand aéroport de l'Etat de Sunrust, derrière celui de Cheatcago et permet de rejoindre de nombreuses villes à travers le monde, mais en jeu, il propose des trajets fréquents pour les autres aéroports de la carte.
Orienté NE-SO, il est situé de telle sorte que les avions n'aient pas à survoler la ville-même, mais seulement sa banlieue.
Dark Armour

The **Dark Armor** is an alternate costume in *Lunar Shadow* which can be obtained at the Top Floor, from a treasure chest unlocked after defeating Ataraxis in battle. Unlike the other costumes, it has to be equipped in order to obtain the Betrayal Ending.

## Appearance

Serenity Horton has black elbow-length gloves and a black face-concealing gas mask. She also removes her shoes. Otherwise, her outfit remains unchanged from her default one. Serenity's clones all wear the Dark Armor.

## Abilities

Equipping it appears to grant the ability to breathe underwater. It also corrupts those who bear the Taint of the Hortons - however, an Untainted Horton (like Ilina Horton) would not be corrupted.

## Trivia

* It is the only outfit that has to be equipped in order to obtain any ending in *Lunar Shadow*.

**Story Elements** Castle Master • Elements• Taint of the Hortons
Fire Sphere

**Fire Sphere** is a spell that can be used in *Selenic Shadow*. It creates several spheres which manifest as fireballs. Shana knows this spell. When she transforms, it is replaced with Explosion Pulse. The spell returns in Apocalyptic Shadow  though it's renamed the Flame Pulse.

## Descriptions

**Selenic Shadow:** Chakram • Explosion Pulse • **Fire Sphere** • Ray Pistol •Sickle
**Lunar Shadow ZERO:** Fireball
**Unobtainable Weapons:** Missile Launcher
Elements

The term "**elements**" is used to refer to the twenty five elemental affinities that a person from the Serenth galaxy may have.

## Other Information

Most people can control only one element, but there are are some exceptions.

* One in forty-seven people cannot control any of the elements, forcing them to rely on alternative means such as weapons imbued with an element.
* One in 213 931 people can control two elements.
* One in 3 889 391 people can control three elements.
* One in 8 111 401 people can control four elements.
* One in 353 931 714 people can control five elements. Currently, only Lavitka Horton had been known to control five elements.
* A theory exists that 1 in 445 735 126 935 people can control six elements, but this has yet to be proven as of 2016.

## Trivia

* Before Apocalyptic Shadow, no work in the *Lunar Shadow Project* used any of the elements, despite the elements being mentioned at times.

Solar Shadow

**Solar Shadow** is a non canon fan-game created by AuroraDash. It was first released on August 1st, 2015.

## Plot

2022: The Curse of the Castle Masters is unbound from the Castle Master and released on the world. In a related incident, Serenity Horton is killed. The Curse brought Serenity back as Shadow Serenity.

2023: The Curse begins corrupting people who wronged Serenity Horton. Its first victim was unknown.

2024: Selena Daria is taken. She wakes up at 6 PM with several years of missing memories. She has until 3AM before she ends up becoming Shadow Selena.

## Areas

The game is roughly grouped into four areas, although they do not have proper names:

 Castle
 Dark Woods
 Red Caverns

## Characters

The following characters appear in *Solar Shadow*.

 Selena Daria van der Merwe | Female
 Serenity Horton | Female
 Shadow Serenity | Female

## Time System

The game starts at 6PM, and the clock advances by one hour every 25 seconds. A bad ending is reached momentarily after the clock hits 3AM, with the total time available being 3:47. The time also causes the game to be overlaid with different colours as the night goes on, and some endings are time-sensitive.

## Image Gallery

You will warned that the lunar eclipse will come during the last hours of your playthrough.The first hidden object. Requires you to jump through a hidden tree.You get a star for beating Solar Shadow.
## Trivia

* This work has six endings. Out of all of them, the Diabolical ending is the easiest one to get because it requires you to do nothing.
* Ending 4 is considered the canon ending though it implies that Solar Shadow was the imagination of a drunken Selena Daria.
* AuroraDash revealed on 11/12/21 in the Things You Knew/Never Knew thread that the Diabolical Ending was inspired by the game 7 minutes, developed by Tuuka Virtanen.

Zero's Lament

**Zero's Lament** is a joke weapon that can be obtained in *Lunar Shadow*. It's represented by a green block when the player selects their weapons.

## Location

Zero's Lament can be found in Tower AT in a treasure chest, though taking it locks the chest containing the Lunar Sickle.

If the player takes the Lunar Sickle instead, Zero's Lament can be found in the Myst Zone instead, by solving a puzzle in Servant Quarters RR and entering one of the doorways that are created by the puzzle.

## In-Game Description

> ```
> ZERO'S LAMENT: a worthless weapon that

> ```
>

## Image Gallery

Zero's Lament was originally going to have a purpose.
## Trivia

* According to Cibryll (11/12/20), the Zero's Lament was originally considered as the 4th item needed to upgrade the Crescent Moon into the Lunar Blast.

* Because the weapon cannot be used at all, the only way to level it up is to kill enemies with another weapon and switch to the Zero's Lament before gathering the XP to increase it's level.

**Lunar Shadow ZERO:** Fireball
**Unobtainable Weapons:** Missile Launcher
Irving

**Irving** is the second stage boss of the Reservoir along with it's twin Micren. As of late, it's gone missing and not even Micren knows where it's gone. The fight starts once the player obtains the Misery's End weapon, which is ideal for defeating it. However the fight itself is optional and Irving can be avoided though the player won't be able to obtain Misery's End (due to Valerie taking it meaning that the player won't fight Irving if they've triggered the post-final boss escape sequence.)

The boss fight plays out like this: there are two fans on each side of the arena, which Serenity can use to jump over Irving. Irving will spend most of the fight hopping toward Serenity, though on occasion it'll either fire energy sickles out of it's mouth (your chance to deal damage) or call upon it's smaller brethren into battle.

## Appearance

Irving is a giant frog with a duck egg blue blue body with a light olive green scar across it's left eye and has light olive green cheeks and feet. The lower half of it's mouth and it's underbelly are white, with the inside of it's mouth being a light chartreuse. It's henchmen have a similar palette as well.

## Personality

Irving, being less intelligent than it's twin Micren is far more animalistic. Shinica describes it as crazy, which implies that it's animalistic behaviour is a result of madness or that it's an irritable creature prone to attacking anything unfortunate enough to encounter it.

## Attacks

**Energy Blast** (Fires energy blasts out it's mouth, can be attacked)

**Frog Hop** (Moves forward, deals contact damage)

**Call Frog** (Summons frogs to rain down on the player, can be killed)

## Trivia

* Irving uses the AI of Balfrog, though it fights differently.
* Though unintentional, Shinica refers to it as a "crazy frog", which references The Annoying Thing (aka *Crazy Frog*) which coincidently is also a blue frog.
* Irving is one of the two bosses that must be defeated in order to obtain the Map System at the Entrance, the other boss being Sycor.
Horton's Taint

>
> ```
> This page contains supplementary info, which doesn't appear in
> any of the games.
> ```
>

> *This article is about the Hortons' famous Taint. You may be looking for the in-universe books.*
>
>

The **Taint of the Hortons** is something that the Horton family has had for generations. At a certain age it activates and when it does, one of their eyes disappear; if they open it, there literally is no eye. When they become older, the Taint will eventually become fully matured, eventually granting them a new eye and abilities they never had before; their new eye is usually a different color.

The clones of a person who bears the Taint will also be Tainted, themselves, thus their Taints will also activate when the original's Taint activates. If the original's Taint already activated, the clones' will have their own Taint activated a second after they were created.
There are various variations of the Taint, so what holds true for one Horton might not hold true for another, yet it might hold true for a third Horton. It is also possible for a Horton to have the Taint in addition to another variation. Some variations have requirements, which usually depend on the parentage.

A poisoned Horton's new eye will have the same colour as the other eye, as is the case with Valkyrie Horton. If the Taint is activated, but not fully matured, their beneficial abilities are negated (but not their detrimental abilities). If someone who has a Double Taint were to be poisoned, they would effectively be blind.

Those who are Tainted are easy to corrupt with darkness from equipment like the Dark Armor or from powerful beings such as Sycor2, though the reason for this is not yet elaborated on. The word "taint" in this context refers to the Newerthan word for Curse which implies that it's a intergenerational curse that members of the family are born with.

## Variations

The ages listed in the table are the ages that the Taint activated, where known.

## Trivia

* Currently, it appears that someone who has both an Eternal Taint and a Revival Taint can only die from natural causes.
* No male Hortons have been born in centuries, thus none exist at the time *Lunar Shadow* takes place.
* Ataraxis is the only Tainted character to open their missing eye in *Lunar Shadow*.
* Both Grialdyn and Cheriza du Blaze believe that absorbing the Horton Taint will make them powerful. It's unknown if this is true or if both individuals co-incidentally share the same delusion.
* On 14/01/21, Cibryll confirmed that that "Taint" in this context is the Newerthan word for "Curse", implying that the Horton Taint is a family curse.

Nought Celeritas

**Nought Celeritas**, also known as **4ZC-1009**, is one of two possible bosses of the Splendid Tower and also one of two possible final bosses of Solar Shadow 2.

## Appearance

Being an android, her appearance is different from the other characters. She has blue hair and a bright white body; she also has pure black eyes.

## Story

Nought and her brother Death's Head are prototype androids built by Eron Araia Armweak. Despite her strange appearance, she is capable of disguising herself as human. Additionally, her AI operates over Eron's powerful LichenNet system, allowing it to persist if her body is destroyed.

She was stored in a safe room at the top of Technology Tower, until she was stolen by Terrah Horton, who activated her and transferred the Curse of the Castle Masters into her so it didn't need to be carried by a real person, rendering it harmless. Terrah then placed her in the Castle Master's quarters in Splendid Tower as a fake Castle Master, building several statues in her name.

At some point, Nought placed a mind control device in Serenity Horton's eye, and assigned her to guard the entrance of the Ice Prison which is connected to the Magic School. and replaced most of the messages in LichenNet with taunting messages. As it turns out, she's nothing more than a puppet ruler that Terrah Horton intended to use to rule Newerth in her name, and to prevent the Curse of the Castle Masters from laying waste to everything. If the player did everything right, her fight is avoided completely and Ataraxis takes her place instead. Once Selena makes it to the Hidden Attic, she goes and removes Nought from LichenNet, killing off her physical body and forcing the true Castle Master to reveal himself.

## In-Game

The fight has three main phases. During Phase 1, Nought runs back and forth with four stars orbiting around her with both her and the stars dealing damage. Once she takes enough damage, she'll fall down before getting back up. During Phase 2, she summons more stars from the edges of the screen to target Selena Daria, then throws a spread of stars at her while walking forward. After being defeated again, she gets up for one last shot at victory. During her final phase, Nought hovers around the arena while green fire rains from above. As she loses HP, green fire starts to rise from the bottom of the screen as well. Once she's defeated, the player's ending is determined by prior conditions.

## Trivia

* "Celeritas" is Latin for "Speed".
* The only good ending you can obtain from defeating her is Ending 4 which requires you to defeat Death's Head and then turn back to avoid fighting Demaseor. Aside from that, all other endings where she's the final boss (Ending 5, Ending 8, Ending 9) are bad endings because she's designed to be a trick final boss, which encourages the player to do another playthrough in order to get a better ending.
Cypher (continent)

**Cypher** is one of the 10 natural continents on Newerth, despite what one would assume, it has nothing to do with ciphers and secret messages and has everything to do with nature. Isabell, the sage of Cypher lives there. During September 2017, a nuclear power plant in the continent was destroyed by a resurrected Aidan Flamberge, causing 2,144,796 deaths,

## Areas

* **Amaranth City**: a port city to the east of the Grand Cypher Cliff. Amaranth flowers bloom here and, as one of the Eight Cities of Neia, people keep voting it for the "Best City of Neia of the Year" award, yet it keeps losing to another continent. The mayor calls it a running gag, however. One of the members of the Routen Band, Mona is from there and her first solo song was called Spaceman.
* **Fenrir Village:** a village constructed by the Hero of Amaranth, and as such it is one of the Eight Heroes' Villages. Fenrir's shrine is said to contain the legendary mace Sharur and the legendary hammer Mjölnir. The houses are actually built inside giant trees, as the inhabitants wish to live as close to nature as possible. As such, they have no electricity or electrical appliances, nor do they know how to use these.

## Currency

Cypher uses Emblem and Emblemite (*plural unchanged for both*) as their currency. Emblem have the current ruler's emblem on the coin/bill, which are magically enchanted to change whenever there is a change of rulership. In addition to this, there is some or other thing on the coins/bank notes that represent the continent. Contrary to Earth's money, "bank note" in this case means "rectangular money" and can be made of anything, even paper.

The coins and bills work as follow:

* 1 e (1 Emblemite; has an amaranth flower and is made of copper; coins)
* 2 e (2 Emblemite; has two amaranth flowers and is made of copper; coins)
* 5 e (5 Emblemite; has five amaranth flowers and is made of copper; coins)
* 10 e (10 Emblemite; has one protea flower and is made of silver; coins)
* 20 e (20 Emblemite; has two protea flowers and is made of silver; coins)
* 50 e (50 Emblemite; has five protea flowers and is made of silver; coins)
* 1 E (1 Emblem; has one cheetah and is made of gold; coins)
* 2 E (2 Emblem; has two cheetahs and is made of gold; coins)
* 5 E (5 Emblem; has five cheetahs and is made of gold; coins)
* 10 E (10 Emblem; has one pixie and is made of platinum; bank note)
* 20 E (20 Emblem; has two pixies and is made of platinum; bank note)
* 50 E (50 Emblem; has five pixies and is made of platinum; bank note)
* 100 E (100 Emblem; has one winged pig and is made of cobalt; bank note)
* 200 E (200 Emblem; has two winged pigs and is made of cobalt; bank note)
* 500 E (500 Emblem; has five winged pigs and is made of cobalt; bank note)

There is 100 Emblemite in 1 Emblem.

## Flora and Fauna

Cypher is unique in that it has life that can only be found naturally on the continent. Other continents may have imported these rare lives. Cypher-unique life includes amaranths, proteas, cheetahs, pixies and winged pigs.
Valkyrie Horton

**Valkyrie Horton** is a character in *Lunar Shadow*and was secretary at Yes Town's primary school. She's forced to fight the player as Valkyrie X and when finally revealed chooses not to fight back; dying to the second phase allows you to see the Tears Ending which can be easily missed.

## Appearance

As the monstrous Valkyrie X, she's a mechanical tank with a green body, and a greyish blue eye and caterpillar treads.

Her true self Valkyrie Horton has auburn hair that reaches her waist, green eyes and (likely due to being poisoned) pale purple skin. She wears a black dress with what appears to be a black bodysuit and over her mouth and nose is some kind of mask. Like several characters in the game, she is unable to see Life Capsules.

## Story

### *Lunar Shadow ZERO*

Valkyrie was kidnapped by Ciel Sorcière and taken to the castle where the Castle Master was. This led to her husband, Evan O'Neill, going to the castle to save her; this eventually ended up in his death at the hands of the Castle Master himself.

### *Lunar Shadow*

While Serenity Horton is traveling through the Servant Quarters, a mechanical being called "Valkyrie X" attacked. Upon defeating it, it's actually revealed that Valkyrie X was Serenity's mother all along. She was in a lot of pain, having been poisoned for almost two years by the Castle Master and was also made immortal through a spell, though only those of Valkyrie's blood - such as her daughter, Serenity - could kill her. Serenity tries to reason with her and is forced to kill her, and gains the Valkyrie Wings as a result. After that, her quest to defeat the Castle Master becomes personal.

Later on, the Castle Master's sister tells Serenity that Valkyrie was, in fact, a Newerthian Valkyrie, making her children Valkyries as well.

## Trivia

* Her first form, Valkyrie X is a giant tank and a palette swap of Monster X.
* The fight with Valkyrie is the only one where the boss doesn't fight back at all. If anything, the player is forced to kill her themselves instead of doing so in a cutscene.
* Valerie Horton's spritesheet has enemies and npcs (who tell you about Valkyrie X). Valerie has no attacks because she doesn't fight back.

Moss Garden (SS2)

The **Moss Garden** is the basement level of the New Lunar Soul Castle and the second main area of *Solar Shadow 2*. The walls are made of grey bricks partially covered in green slime.

## Story

The Moss Garden at some point became overgrown and infliltrated by fungus. By the time *Solar Shadow 2* takes place, Eron Araia Armweak has sent rugged green robots down there to defend it, and it lies unused. It's not clear if Eron is trying to de-contaminate the Moss Garden, is trying to study the life in it, or has given up on it completely. In any case, she warns the rests of the castle staff to stay out for their own safety, with a readable note left by Serenity stating that the basement is heavily contaminated.

## In-Game

It is reached by falling into it from the Entryway. The end of the zone leads onto the Elevator, which leads to the upper, occupied levels of the castle. A fake wall partway through the area hides a passagway which leads even deeper underground to Genocide City.

### Music

The music that plays is called *Spooky Week*.

### Enemies

There are green robots, which shoot horizontally if they see Selena, and green fungi, which break into 8 spores if they take any damage or if Selena gets close to them.

The boss of the Moss Garden is The Mossmouth.

### Items

Near the end of the area, the level 2 Kleure upgrade can be found out in the open.
Eclumbria (continent)

**Eclumbria** -known formerly as Rhudesié- is a continent on Voraorite that is man-made and currently desires to conquer the world, going as far as to engage in chemical warfare against any and all opposition. In 2002, they launched an attack on the continent of Ukimara and conquered most of its continents except for Oxairjam which are protected by a mighty barrier preventing other people coming in or leaving. During 2016, they attacked Shisukai with a chemical weapon with the total casualties unknown and very few survivors. Despite their ambitions, they've had trouble fighting off the forces present in Skaithundar (and by extension Yukronay) due to its continents joining forces to push the Eclumbrian invaders back.

## Weaponry

Eclumbria specializes in nuclear, chemical and radiological weapons, making them a deadly force whenever they invade other nations.

## Continents

* Eclumbira (expanded in 1996 and took over the rest of Rhudesié)
* Abcdea
* Blomeria
* Sanctuisa
* Diora (conquered in 2002)
* Furiayu (conquered in 2002)
* Helaios (conquered in 2002)

Sector Violet mixes Sector Purple with Sector Blue, Sector Vermilion mixes Sector Orange with Sector Red and Sector Chartreuse mixes Sector Green with Sector Yellow.
	+ Three other colours Magenta (Red + Purple), Teal (Blue + Green) and Amber (Yellow + Orange) were not considered for this sector, though Amber was considered for a post-game area.

Red Hell

**Red Hell** is the true final level of Apocalyptic Shadow. In order to access the area, you must get all the answers correct in the quiz at Oblivion Zone; get even one question wrong and you'll be locked out of the dungeon for the playthrough.

## General Information

Red Hell is a mixture of original locations and some which are redecos of Bloodstained Sanctuary from Cave Story. On the third and fourth floors, you'll have to fight two bosses and once you clear the Creator's Core, you're kicked out of the dungeon and have to go back for a second time which allows you to fight Scarlet Kim Ethenarch, a result of Kim being possessed by QWERTYUIOP.

There are several rooms:

* Death's Door
* Entrance
* House
* Cemetery (reuses some of Bloodstained Sanctuary F1's layout)
* Generator
* Upper Corridor (reuses Bloodstained Sanctuary F2's layout with added lava)
* Lower Corridor (reuses Bloodstained Sanctuary F3's layout with added lava)
* Tower
* Mansion/Mansion Maze Room
* Tranquil Garden
* Spire
* Creator's Core (reuses Bloodstained Sanctuary's boss room)
* Ruined Corridor

## Items

* Crestfallen Infinity (found in Red Hell~ Terrace)

## Enemies

* Butes
* Mesa
* The Accursed (Mansion boss)
* Prescott (lowerSpire boss)
* ???? (Lower Corridor boss)
* ???? (upper Spire boss)

* Scarlet Kim Ethenarch (true final boss/Creator's Core boss)

## Trivia

* According to Cibryll, The Accursed was originally planned as a boss for Red Hell but she decided it'd be funnier if it landed in the lava and left, leading to the Terrace with the Crestfallen Infinity.
Ignis du Blaze

> ```
> This page contains supplementary info, which doesn't appear in
> any of the games.
> ```
>

**Ignis du Blaze** is a minor character in *Lunar Shadow*. As a human, she can see Life Capsules and gives Serenity Horton a golden one if she defeats her sister Cheriza du Blaze.

## Appearance

Ignis has long blue hair, and fair skin. Ignis wears a black and maroon gas mask, an orange long-sleeved shirt, a brown miniskirt, silver tights and black knee-high boots. Underneath, she has blue eyes like her sister.

## Personality

Ignis is a kind, compassionate individual who dislikes being forced to work under the Castle Master. Despite her initial misgiving about Serenity Horton, she allows Serenity to stay at her house and if Sycor2 was defeated goes out of her way to reward the heroine with a cake she baked herself.

After Cheriza du Blaze is put out of her misery, she takes her sister's death well despite Serenity's guilt over killing Cheriza; this is because she's already had to deal with her parents being killed at a young age. Unlike her sister, she doesn't speak with a thick accent though her voice may still be muffled due to wearing a gas-mask.

## Story

### *Lunar Shadow*

Ignis' only canon appearance thus far is in Tower RR, where she and Shinica Horton are summoned by Sycor and temporarily transformed into monsters during the boss fight. After Serenity Horton wins, they are returned to normal. A Cake can be found in a treasure chest nearby the exit to the Reservoir, which was baked by Ignis.

While not canon, Ignis appears once again, this time in the Sea Zone. It is learned that Ignis has been away from home for eight years, that she is working for the Castle Master against her will, and her parents were killed by her sister, Cheriza du Blaze. After Serenity defeats Cheriza, Ignis gives Serenity a Golden Life Capsule (if not in 3-HP Mode), or information (if in 3-HP Mode).

## Image Gallery

## Trivia

* Ignis's first name is derived from the Latin word for "fire"; ironically, she lives in the Sea Zone which is heavily associated with water.
* If one chooses not to fight Sycor2, it's possible to go the entire game without ever knowing about Ignis du Blaze.
* Interestingly enough, her appearance in the Sea Zone is non-canon despite it being the only scenario in Lunar Shadow where the player learns about her character.
Bad Heart Mode

**Bad Heart Mode** is an alternate game mode in Solar Shadow 2 that increases the game's difficulty and caps the player's HP to 3. As such, it is similar to Lunar Shadow's 3-HP Mode and Cave Story's own Hard Mode; to unlock this mode, you have to press Q on the Title Screen.

## Unlocking Bad Heart Mode

Obtaining Ending 6 will allow to learn how to unlock this mode. After this, you have to press Q at the title screen to unlock Bad Heart Mode.

## Mode Differences

 Andrea Yauman can be fought as the game's secret boss.
 The player's HP is capped to 46HP.
 Several of the game's endings are obtainable.
 The game's dialogue/messages are unaltered.
 The Headmaster and Shadow Maid's real names are unknown.
 Aidan Flamberge doesn't appear in this mode.

## Trivia

* Three of Solar Shadow 2's endings can only be obtained during this mode and replace the game's normal endings.

* Ending 10 is the easiest ending to obtain since you can just turn left at the very start much like one of Lunar Shadow's own endings.

* Unlocking Bad Heart mode is co-incidentally similar to how FNAFB 2's Q Scenario is unlocked; both modes require you to press the Q button and allow you to play as a villain protagonist (Shadow Selena and Balloon Boy).
