Servant Quarters (LS)

The **Servant Quarters** is the fifth area accessible within the Lunar Soul Castle. The Servant Quarters is a large area that cannot initially be accessed from the castle entrance, thus requiring a detour through the Laboratory, Reservoir and Tower.

Servant Quarters K is locked up with three switches, each switch requiring a specific key. Using the key on the wrong switch results in an immediate death. Servant Quarters RR has three password-protected doors.

Servant Quarters ET has exits to Entrance SQ and Tower SQ. Servant Quarters DI has an exit to the Top Floor. There are Warp Doors found at Servant Quarters DR, RR and SP. In Servant Quarters RR, there is a maid called Cleopatra Rolandson whose according to one NPC is depressed because her attempt at starting a movie career didn't work and so she shoots anyone on sight.

## Trivia

Invidia (weapon)

**Invidia** is obtained at the Entrance Area as the player's starter weapon. It's a lightning bolt weapon that looks similar to the Nemesis (of Cave Story).

## Trivia

* According to it's description, it's mistaken for the Nemesis. The Nemesis is a powerful weapon in Cave Story that grows weaker as it's leveled up (firing rubber ducks at Level 3).

* Losing this weapon causes the Crescent Moon's weapon description to change.

**Selenic Shadow:** Chakram • Explosion Pulse• Fire Sphere• Ray Pistol • Sickle
**Lunar Shadow ZERO:** Fireball
**Unobtainable Weapons:** Missile Launcher
Genocide City (SS2)

A part of an earlier version of the Lunar Soul Castle which survived its destruction, **Genocide City** is a location underneath the New Lunar Soul Castle in *Solar Shadow 2*.

## Story

Genocide City is the same physical location as the Laboratory (LS). It can be assumed that, after the events of Lunar Shadow X, it was sealed off by rubble and the creatures within, such as gau'di, eventually died out.

## In *Solar Shadow 2*

The level is accessible through a secret wall in the Moss Garden. This is early on in the game, while the player only has access to the level 1 Kleure. Completing the area unlocks three new Endings and disables a barrier in the Sky Platform], thus unlocking the Centre Intelligence Room.

### Music

The music that plays is called *Interminable Acid Rain*.

### Enemies

The entire area is desolate and contains no harmful obstacles. The only enemy present is the level's boss, Andrea Yauman.

## Trivia

* The area's name is a reference to *Sonic 2*, some beta versions of which contain a very unfinished level of the same name.
* Cibryll (as Caitlin) confirmed that a destroyed future version of Reservoir (LS) would be called the Toxic Aqueduct and that of Entrance (LS) would be the Gateway To Ruin.
Kascan Rizou

**The Headmaster**, whose real name is **Kascan Rizou**, is a character appearing in *Solar Shadow 2*, where he is the first boss of the Magic School.

## Appearance

He is a tall blue-haired man with a dull green jacket and sickly-looking pale grey skin.

## In-game

Kascan stays in the center of the arena, and doesn't move much. He starts out levitating, but then drops to the ground halfway through the battle, where his attacks are harder to dodge. He has 160 HP.

## Trivia

* In normal mode, he is only ever referred to as The Headmaster. His real name is only revealed in Bad Heart mode; the intro cutscene is also changed to a message from the Tirahnys Intelligence Agency, addressed to Kascan.

## Trivia

* Her sprites were created by Ariana's stepsister, Dianke though in reality, Cibryll created them because both Ariana and Dianke were her sockpuppets.

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

**Arcanum** is a weapon that can be obtained in *Lunar Shadow,* it's a faded green machine gun that shoots rapid fire bullets. As an automatic weapon, Arcanum fires bullets as long as the Fire button is held down. While equipped but not fired, it will recharge its ammunition over time.At Level 3, when aimed up or down, the recoil will send the holder in the opposite direction - thus, aimed downwards, it's possible to hover as long as it has ammunition.

## Location

Arcanum can be found in Servant Quarters Y, in a treasure chest, with 30 ammo; while hidden, it can be uncovered by shooting a statue enough times. Obtaining it also unlocks two treasure chests throughout the castle; these treasure chests will increase the maximum ammo for Arcanum:

* +5 (Entrance)
* +15 (Entrance)

## Arcanum Infinity

**Arcanum Infinity** is a weapon exclusive to 3-HP Mode of *Lunar Shadow*. It can be found at Tower DL. Obtaining it locks all other Arcanum-related chests. Arcanum Infinity has unlimited ammunition, in addition to the abilities the normal Arcanum has.

## Image Gallery

Cibryll confirming that Arcanum's appearance was based off a sprite from a weapon in beta Cave Story.
## Trivia

* Arcanum is one of only two weapons found in *Lunar Shadow* to have more than one description. The other is the Crescent Moon.
* Much like the Lunar Sickle , it also has the setting that allows it to Ignore Solid/Break Blocks.
* It was confirmed by Cibryll on 13/12/20 that the Arcanum's appearance was based on an unknown weapon seen in screenshots for the beta Cave Story.
* The Arcanum is one of a set of three guns. The other two are named Arcadia and Arcazya.
* The Arcanum is said to change its powers depending on the user.

**Selenic Shadow:** Chakram • Explosion Pulse• Fire Sphere• Ray Pistol • Sickle

## Trivia

* The weapon is currently unobtainable.
* It was originally intended to be created by an NPC, combining the Crescent Moon with various other items, including the Beast Fang, the Squid Medal, the Zero's Lament and an unspecified fourth item.

**Selenic Shadow:** Chakram • Explosion Pulse• Fire Sphere• Ray Pistol • Sickle
**Lunar Shadow ZERO:** Fireball
**Unobtainable Weapons:** Missile Launcher
Magic School (SS2)

The *Magic School* is a large purple area in the centre of the New Lunar Soul Castle. The walls are made of lavender blocks, and the background consists of wallpaper covered in Greek letters. It is the largest area in *Solar Shadow 2*.

## Story

It does indeed appear to be a real school of some sort, with the headmaster, Kascan Rizou, in charge of it, second only to Eron Araia Armweak. It's one of the most important operations of the castle -- in fact, in the Bad Heart Mode intro cutscene, it appears that the TIA believe that Kascan is in charge of the entire castle.

## In-Game

The Magic School is reached from the Elevator and connects above to the Ice Prison in multiple places.

### Music

The music that plays is called *Desperate Death Princess*. This particular song was originally from Aurora's 2014 *Alternate Reality Battle!* EP, and was later reused for the game.

### Mechanics

In place of spikes, the Magic School has fire, which is even more damaging -- it causes 15 damage, whereas the spikes present in most other areas only deal 10 damage.

Yellow fire is always active, whereas blue fire turns on and off on a timer.

Partway through the area, there is a barrier which can be de-activated by interacting with a computer elsewhere in the zone.

Near the end of the zone, there are yellow spinning blades and yellow blocks. The blades are stationary at first, but when shot by Selena Daria, they fly horizontally and break any yellow blocks in their path. This same mechanic is re-used for the Serenity boss fight, except with pink blades and blocks instead.

### Enemies

There are two kinds of witches, with different abilities. The first kind periodically fires a beam horizontally, which can hit Selena instantaneously. The second kind releases balls of lightning, which move sideways slowly until they are in line with Selena, at which point they rapidly fly downwards.

The Magic School also has two bosses. The first one is Kascan Rizou, followed by Serenity Horton, who has been mind-controlled by Nought Celeritas

### Items

Near the top right of the Magic School, there is a chest containing the level 3 Kleure upgrade. However, it is out of reach, and is only accessible from above after completing the Ice Prison.
List of Cameos

A cameo is a brief appearance in a film, though it also appears in other media. The Xyrinfe Shadow Project is no exception to this and has quite a few cameos across the series, some expected and some very unexpected. Characters who have important roles in the story do not count as cameos.

## Cameos in games developed by RKS and Cibryll.

### *Lunar Shadow*

* Selena Daria makes her cameo appearance outside the Lunar Soul Castle. She originally appeared in Hope of Shane: FROST as a minor character.
* Polaris also appears in the Entrance as a Gardevoir. They were a member of Lunar Shadow.
* Alfasketer's avatar can be found in the Servant Quarters. He was a member of Lunar Shadow and a beta tester for Lunar Shadow.

* Ginny Anderson doesn't physically appear, though she is the main character of a fictional book series. She was originally a character created by Cibryll (as Shane) for The Battle, a forum RPG.

### Apocalyptic Shadow

It will be confirmed that Floor 24 will have many statues of other characters through the series. These characters are:

* Serenity Horton
* Shinica Horton

## Cameos in games developed by AuroraDash

### *Solar Shadow 2*

* Shinica Horton briefly appears in one specific ending -- to make this happen, one must be on the upper path, but not defeat Steve Leroi.

## Cameos in games developed by King (2.0)

### *Gun*

* There are currently no cameos in Gun, though Gun v4 will add a room with 6 portraits. These portraits are of previous opponents who have defeated the boss unlocked when you get all 3 Taboo Pins.

**Story Elements** Castle Master • Elements • Taint of the Hortons • Timelines
Steve Leroi

**Steve Leroi** is a character in Solar Shadow 2. He appears as one of the bosses of the Ice Prison.

## Appearance

Steve has short silver hair and yellow eyes. In *Solar Shadow 2* he wears deep blue T-shirts and track pants and has a sword which he likes to wave about at all times. His design for the *Solar Shadow 3* tech demo instead has a magenta outfit and his sword is concealed.

## In-Game

Steve is fought alongside Venton Leroi. He attacks firstly by charging at Selena Daria van der Merwe with his sword and secondly with the Poison Sickle, a spell which resembles a green version of the Lunar Sickle.

## Trivia

* Steve was planned to be playable in the cancelled *Solar Shadow 3*.
* While Steve's speech patterns are quite shallow and thoughtless, it is implied by his status as a magic user and his canon class of "scholar" that he is substantially more intelligent than he appears.
* Steve is the only character aside from Selena Daria van der Merwe known to survive in every single ending of Solar Shadow 2.
Apocalyptic Shadow Tower (location)

The **Apocalyptic Shadow Tower** is the titular tower in Apocalyptic Shadow and is the main setting of the game (though several other locations also exist) The player must traverse 30 floors in order to reach the Eminent Arena at the very top, fighting off various enemies and bosses along the way.

## Information

#### **Entrance/Aizen Ruins**

The very beginning of the game. The sky appears to take place at some sort of sunset At the left is a warehouse where you can choose which gender your character is, listen to music, allow yourself to skip cutscenes, choose to activate or deactivate the game's day limit system, or activate/deactivate Coward Mode. You can also choose to get a bad ending here where Kim Ethenarch destroys the galaxy but it seems that several of the game's endings take place here. The Aizen Ruins are a part of this area and are at the right of the tower. An individual called Adriana Jones Jr can found here, located near a door where the Official's Office is located. She'll reveal what she knows of the Pan�yosans, in that they used to have an civilization here and that their final moments involved a famine, a plague and a star falling upon their castle.

#### Lobby

The very bottom of the tower and the defacto hub area. It is a grey room with drab bricks similar to Lunar Shadow's House and Entrance. The top section has doors leading to various different Apocalyptic Towers that are never accessible in-game. Several Life Capsules can be found here along with a Map System and Flame (and Flamera) Pulse badge along with mana upgrades. Terminals also exist for cutscenes, the day limit system and Coward Mode.

#### Floor 1

There are two floors that are considered part of the 1st floor. Tower B1F is a vertical grey blocky area with several doors leading to other Apocalyptic Towers, and also allows you to change outfits. Outfit 5 is found here and defeating Enlightened Cortex and Wygbr allows you to obtain a one time 200 EXP reward. In this room are several large doors which seem to be shortcuts to Floors 5, 11, 15, 19, 23 and 26. F1 itself is quite expansive.

#### **Floor 19**

A red version of the Labyrinth Waterway from Cave Story. There are several terminals which allow you to set Kresnik's power level and has 5 difficulties: EASY (300 HP), NORMAL (600 HP), HARD (900 HP), CRAZY (1200 HP) and SADISTIC (1500 HP). Choosing any difficulty beyond easy adds an extra phase to Kresnik's fight and speeds him up; the latter two require you to defeat Wygbf first to unlock them. You can also choose to rematch Kresnik if you so choose.

## Bosses

* Fantome (Floors 5, 11 and 24)
* Cycreep (Floor 15)
* Igor Igorson (Floor 16)
* Kresnik (Floor 19)
* Enlightened Cortex (Floor 20)
* Soie-Bas (Floor 24 Boss)
* Wygbr (Floor 25 Boss)

Gas Mask

A **gas mask** is a mask that is worn to protect the wearer from breathing in poisonous gases. Gas masks are also the subject of Janelle Rogóz's book, *What are Gasmasks?*.

## Information

In the Serenth galaxy, there are three types of gas masks. These are referred to as "Type 1", "Type 2" and "Type 3".

Serenth gas masks normally cover the entire face, though some only cover the lower half of the face (these are sometimes referred to as "respirators"). While protecting the wearer from inhaling poisonous gases or biological agents, it does not protect them from gases that can be absorbed through the skin.

Rioters and police alike use gas masks, as do painters when using paint canisters. Explorers who venture into areas with asbestos and other hazardous materials also wear gas masks.

While most gas masks have two small, circular eye windows made of polycarbonate, masks with large, full-face windows are very rare.

Some people in the Serenth galaxy wear gas masks for no reason, or to hide scars, or other reasons.

### Type 1

Type 1 gas masks had one or two filters attached to the face mask; however, rare type 1 gas masks had three filters instead. Each filter would last up to twelve hours.

### Type 2

Type 2 gas masks had a large filter, connected to the face mask with a hose. These filters would last up to twenty-four hours.

### Type 3

Type 3 gas masks were first created in the Newerth year 1980, when they rendered both type 1 and type 2 gas masks obsolete. Type 3 gas masks were magically enchanted to provide an endless amount of breathable air to the wearer - as such, type 3 gas masks do not require filters, although most people still wear filters with their gas masks. Type 3 gas masks can be worn even when diving underwater.

Type 3 gas masks were enforced at schools around the time they were first created; to this day, some Newerth schools still require gas masks to be worn as part of the official uniform.

Selenic Shadow

**Selenic Shadow** was a *Cave Story* mod created by Kim and Ariana Seymour (aka Cibryll). It was first released on June 13th, 2016 with an updated version released on 12th July 2016. The mod itself is non-canonical to the story set out in Lunar Shadow and has Selena Daria as the main character.

## Plot

Selena Daria van der Merwe wakes up in a mysterious place and ends up following unknown people to find the answers she seeks. Along the way, she comes face to face with the guardians of Grei'dryr, an ancient civilization of magic and technology that was destroyed by three powerful shadows.

## Playable Characters

* Selenia Daria van der Merwe

* Shana (playable after Grie'dyr: Thunder)

* Shinica Horton (currently unused)

## Areas

The main setting of *Selenic Shadow* is Grié'dýr, which is split into several areas:

* Awakening (hub room)
* Null
* Wind
* Fire
* Water
* Earth
* Agony (second hub room)
* Moon
* Sun
* Star
* Space
* Disaster (third hub room)
* Sound
* Darkness
* Light
* Thunder
* Death (fourth hub room; Shana is playable from this point on).
* Music (sound test room, both Selena and Shana can access their own rooms)

## Trivia

* Version 1.0.0.0 was released on 13 June 2016, while Version 2.0.0.0 was released on 12 July 2016.
* Ariana Seymour was actually one of Cibryll's many sockpuppets and the first one to be credited as a co-developer.
* Co-incidentally all of the characters in this game's MyChar file all have names beginning with "S"
* Selenic Shadow reuses tilesets from The Curse of Il'landriiel, a mod created by Cibryll (as Shane). This explains why the grey brick tiles and the symbols exist in Selenic Shadow, why Selena Daria van der Merwe looks similar to her Shane: Hope of Frost counterpart or that both mods have rising water in one room (Kim learnt it from Cibryll).

It'll start the fight with a rapid fire barrage of bullet shaped projectiles. After this, it'll fire three projectiles that split into smaller bullets, with it's range being affected by the player's current location. It'll then fire out several crescent waves that are either large or small before it's attack pattern loops again.

## Trivia

* It is named after Derek Yu's personal game development studio, which is mostly known for *Spelunky*.
* There is no wall behind the Mossmouth. It is thus possible to skip the fight by walking through the boss and off the right side of the screen without defeating it, although doing so will incur contact damage.
* If the player defeats Mossmouth and dies after the boss victory text box has already played out, the game simply sends you back to the last save point but the boss will be defeated, allowing you to move to the next area instead of forcing you to refight the Mossmouth again.

## Astral Shadow

**Astral Shadow**, known also as the **Astral Soul** is the name of one of the three entities that destroyed Grie'dyr, an ancient civilization and is the least known of the three entities. It currently resides on Synhart, though it's current activity is unknown.

## Story

### Selenic Shadow

Astral Shadow was confirmed as one of the three entities who destroyed Grie'dyr. It makes no appearance in the mod itself.

## Image Gallery

Alfasketer sadly never got around to developing this game.Cibryll (as Malice)'s RPG story which also never got off the cutting room floor.
## Trivia

* Alfasketer's version of Astral Shadow came about because three of Cibryll's sockpuppets (Rita, Amy and Lunaris) ociathad come up with an RPG idea and Rita jokingly thought Alfasketer was developing it. The game of course never came to be. The only other project he was associated with was a short fanfic called Lunar Shadow: The Gathering.
* Later on, one of Cibryll's sockpuppets Malice created a project with the same name though it was completely different and nothing ever came of it again.
Entrance (LSZ)

The **Entrance** is the first area accessible within the Lunar Soul Castle. Its theme is "White".

## General Information

As the name suggests, this area is the main entrance (and only one, excluding the Teleporter). There are five areas that can be accessed from here, disregarding the Teleporter.

* Going down from Entrance C leads to the Cursed Warehouse.
* Going down from Entrance L leads to the Laboratory.
* Going down from Entrance LS leads to the Lunar Soul.
* Going right from Entrance SQ leads to the Servant Quarters.
* Going right from Entrance TG leads to the Tainted Garden.

## Items

* Fireball - a gift from Selena Daria van der Merwe.
* Life Capsules:
	+ One is found at Entrance G, and increases maximum life by 3.
	+ One is found at Entrance E, and increases maximum life by 5.
Lunar Shadow X

Lunar Shadow X **is a mod created by RKS and Cibryll that is in the planning stages. It has yet to be released.**

## Plot

Currently unknown. The story takes place in 2017, two years after the events of Lunar Shadow. Aidan Flamberge is resurrected along with the Lunar Soul Castle. Amariss and 6 of her friends venture inside with the intent of taking down the revived Castle Master; in addition, one of her friends puts up a temporal barrier that freezes time outside the castle.

## Areas

* Entrance
* Laboratory
* Reservoir
* Clock Tower
* Tower
* Top Floor
* Corridor of Darkness
* Ancient Ruin (boss rush/final boss area)

## Characters

The following characters appear in *Lunar Shadow*.

 Amariss Richters | Female
 Ataraxis
 Shinica Horton | Female

## Trivia

* Earlier plans had Serenity Horton and Shinica Horton as main characters. However because these plans were revealed by Cibryll's sockpuppets, it's possible that these plans weren't real or were made invalid by Kim.

Angela Merci

**Angela Merci** is a character in the *Lunar Shadow Project*, she is said to be a mysterious winged girl, and her true intentions are a mystery.

## Appearance

Angela has long, blonde hair with a single fringe between her blue eyes. She has fair skin and wears red lipstick. From her back, are two orange wings; the insides of the wings are a dark purplish color. Both wings are curved. Her outfit consists of a blue top worn under a red top, with a dark purple miniskirt and a light purple belt.

Her hands are covered with dark reddish-purple elbow-length gloves. She wears a pair of high-heeled thigh-high boots that are reddish in colour, with the boots being darker red from the ankle downwards. She sometimes wears a black face-concealing gas mask; the mask itself has silver lenses and has a single black strap that goes around her head.
Tainted Garden (LSZ)

**Tainted Garden** is a location in Lunar Shadow ZER0 that takes place in grassy, mossy ruins amidst a night sky. It is the second area in the game after Gomu Forest.

## General Information

There are multiple rooms in Tainted Garden: Tainted Garden F, Tainted Garden I, Tainted Garden GP, Tainted Garden A, Tainted Garden N, Tainted Garden E, Tainted Garden X, Tainted Garden SP, Tainted Garden S, Tainted Garden AR, Tainted Garden U, Tainted Garden SQ and Tainted Garden B.

## Trivia

* Interestingly enough, Lunar Shadow ZER0's intro takes place in Tainted Garden B and has Alexis Flamberge near a throne. It's unknown if she can be fought there.
* Tainted Garden was planned to appear in Lunar Shadow as well but due to map limitations, such a plan never came to be.
Serenity Clones

The **Serenity Clones** are characters that appear within *Lunar Shadow*. Little is known about them, as one appears shortly before the final boss of *Lunar Shadow* and another during the final boss. There are at least five known clones, two of which are already deceased by the time the first one appears.

## Appearance

Just like Serenity Horton, each clone appears to have auburn shoulder-length hair with a green eye. Their left eyes are missing due to the Taint. They all have scars over their left eyes, and have fair skin.

### Heartsease

One of the executed clones mentioned by Ataraxis.

### Placidity

One of the executed clones mentioned by Ataraxis.

## Story

### *Lunar Shadow*

The first of only two clones to appear in *Lunar Shadow*, Ataraxis was one of the rejected ones and was to be executed in some dungeon, though she hid in the remnants of the Lunar Soul area, near Xyz's room. She is one of the bosses of the Top Floor area, being in the room just before the Top Floor Throne.

The second of the clones to appear, Tranquility appears in the throne room with the Castle Master, but leaves shortly after he appears. After he's defeated, she appears once more with him, inside a mecha of some kind.

### Post Lunar Shadow

Repose, Tranquility and Ataraxis (in the Solar Shadow timeline) survived the events of Lunar Shadow. Repose hadn't died as Ataraxis thought and the latter had reincarnated due to her Reincarnation Taint; Tranquility used a Copyform Spell and ends up on a planet that had been affected by her former master's chemical war. She also awakens her Taint which is the Venoxious Taint.

### *Solar Shadow 2*

Ataraxis also appears as a possible boss of the Splendid Tower area, where she appears in place of Nought Celeritas if Demaseor has been defeated. She attacks using constantly-rotating green beams (rainbow-colored in Bad Heart Mode), and hovers out of reach of most attacks; however, her HP constantly drains.

## Image Gallery

## Trivia

* As clones of Serenity Horton, they are unable to see Life Capsules.
* Ataraxis claims that Repose was executed alongside Heartsease and Placidity. Considering that Repose survived to write a book, Ataraxis was either lying, was mistaken or believed that Repose was dead.
	+ All seven Maid variants and **Ataraxis** use the same AI as Curly Brace battled in the Sand Zone
* Before the boss fight against Ataraxis, Serenity calls her a "copyform". This is in reference to *Apocalyptic Wind Tower*, a forum-based RP that Cibryll (as "Kim") had taken part in.
* The names of the clones are all synonyms of "serenity".

Death's Head

**4ZC-1008**, codenamed **Death's Head**, is an android built by Eron Araia Armweak. He serves as the level boss of the Technology Tower in *Solar Shadow 2*, and thus only appears in the upper path.

## Appearance

His body is dark grey all over and he wears a black helmet and armour. He has a pair of blue antennae, and his eyes glow white.

## Story

Death's Head is a prototype created by Eron Araia Armweak in 2021 along with another model, Nought Celeritas. He was designed with military purposes in mind, but was never actually used to that end. The two robots are linked to the New Lunar Soul Castle's LichenNet system, meaning that their AIs will survive in the cloud if their bodies get destroyed. They consider themselves siblings.

While he lacks Nought's powers of disguise, Death's Head is said to be highly intelligent. However, neither of these attributes manifest themselves in-game.

He was placed in a safe room at the top of the Technology Tower, and is still there at the time the game begins. He remains there until he wakes up and breaks out of his tube in response to the intruder Selena Daria van der Merwe.

## In-game

He has 190 HP. His attacks consist mostly of pale blue bullets. He can also charge at the player. Once he is down to half HP, blue fire falls from the ceiling, obstructing the arena.
Serenth

**Serenth** is the name of the galaxy where most (if not all) of the *Lunar Shadow Project* takes place.

## Name

* Pronunciation: surenth
* IPA: /sʊrˈɛnθ/

## Information

Serenth is a spiral galaxy. It was named on 20 January 2015, after Serenity Horton; before then, the galaxy did not have a name.

## Planets

As with all galaxies, Serenth has plenty of planets. These will be listed from the ones closest to the sun.

* Sunnew (sun)
* El Solaria (uninhabitable planet)
* El Lunaria (uninhabitable planet)
* El Astralia (uninhabitable planet)
* Newerth (inhabitable planet)

Confusion Zone (LS)

The **Confusion Zone** is a post-game area and the true final level in Lunar Shadow and can be accessed from Top Floor CZ once you defeat Noxakaisink and complete the game once. Confusion Zone T can be unlocked via a password in Servant Quarters RR.

## Information

The Confusion Zone has several rooms:

* Confusion Zone TF
* Confusion Zone SG0
* Confusion Zone SG1
* Confusion Zone SG2
* Confusion Zone SG3 (Nemesis and Invidia are fought in this room)
* Confusion Zone SG4 (This room would've been accessed after defeating Nemesis and Invidia)
* Confusion Zone T (Has doors that lead to Servant Quarters RR and Top Floor O. Has 2 Life Capsules)

## Enemies & Bosses

* Guardian Angel
* Mini-Azher
* Invidia and Nemesis(True Final Boss)

## Items

* Lunar Sickle: Found here if the player chose Zero's Lament earlier in the game.

## Trivia

* The battle with Invidia and Nemesis is exactly the same as the one in Selenic Shadow, the main difference is that Lunar Shadow's is canon due to Selenic Shadow being non-canon.
* Unlike the other areas in the game, LS's Confusion Zone is currently unfinished and the boss fight planned for the area went unused due to Cibryll having trouble implementing it, something that her sockpuppet Ariana had mentioned.
Synhart

**Synhart** is a planet in the Serenth galaxy. It is similar to Earth, much like Newerth. It has rather low-level technology, as it has yet to discover electricity. It was also going to have an Apocalyptic Tower named after it, only for it to be destroyed when the Apocalyptic Graceless Tower emerged.

## Name

* Pronunciation: sin-hart
* IPA: /ˈsɪnhɑːrt/

## Seasons

Seasons on Synhart are almost similar to those of Earth and Newerth. However, each season lasts a month, rather than three months. Instead of Southern or Northern Hemispheres, Synhart has Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

### Eastern Hemisphere seasons

* **Spring**: January, May, September
* **Summer**: February, June, October
* **Autumn**: March, July, November
* **Winter**: April, August, December

### Western Hemisphere seasons

* **Spring**: July, November, March
* **Summer**: August, December, April
* **Autumn**: September, May, January
* **Winter**: October, June, February

## Continents

Synhart has six continents:

* Cyremsia
* Dresnia
* Frozea
* Iagaos (Present in the Western Hemisphere though a small part of it crosses over to the Eastern Hemisphere.)
* Seomany
* Xenolith

### Image Gallery

Synhart would've been the setting for Astral Shadow. An Apocalyptic Tower is also mentioned several years before Apocalyptic Shadow greatly expanded upon the concept.
Elysium

**Elysium** is an optional area in Apocalyptic Shadow. It's a land of the dead where all souls end up and are unable to di;, it is in-between the evil land of Niflhiem and the good land of Paradjis. Any soul that is sealed away is exempt from coming here. Elysium itself is seperated into many areas, one of which is called Valhalla.

The fate of souls here are normally decided by a council though rarely this duty is delegated to Georlan, God of Souls or the Goddess of Dreams Reivalim. Kim Ethenarch had them take the day off and the two seem to be dating. This leaves the player's fate (if they're playing as Frio or Kyaro) in Kim's hands. Fortunately for them, Kim sends them to Paradjis for freeing her from Qwertyuiop's evil influence and dubs them the first Champion of Serenth, claiming that Cibryll is fond of that title.

Kim is unable to resurrect those who died in Red Hell or whom personally became corrupted by Qwertyuiop (though the ones that can won't be for safety reasons), though Valkyries and Titans are immune to his power.

## General Information

Elysium: Ominous Gate is the only area in the dungeon. It's a lavender rocky area with dull red grass, with various houses in the area and blue water. Gravestones are scattered about and Dark runes litter the area background which are darker purple. The area is overcast with a dark sky with faded yellow clouds and a blue moon.

In this area, you can talk to the 4 Overseers Cibryll Schiffer, Lunaris Ruri'iro, Kione Tenseiken and Kim Ethenarch. Kim Ethenarch thanks the player for defeating her and saving the universe she created from destruction. For the most part, this area's dialogue is humorous in tone and you get an ending for this area.

Kim Ethnarch uses her powers to resurrect all who died in the Apocalyptic Towers, cured all those with incureable illnesses (though she wasn't sure if it'd be successful) and tried to clear out the air pollution on all planets (stating she'd need the help of her fellow overseers for that). With all the player's requests granted, she then tells them to take the western cave to Paradjse.

As it turns out, destroying the Enlightened Cortex has broken the seal on all beings who were sealed and now 40 elements are present instead of the usual 25. A new planet Serearth was created and now Serenth has nine miliard planets.

Once THE END has shown up, you're told that you can quit the game. Stay around and the ending changes slightly. Stay a little longer and you get New Game + and that if you want more than that, you'll have to deal with it.

## Trivia

* Much like Sea Zone, it's clear that there was intentions of having multiple rooms though it never came to pass due to limitations. In this case, the room plays out much like Developer's Grove in that you get to talk to avatars of the mod's developer's (i.e Cibryll and her girlfriends).
* Kim Ethenarch's dialogue implies that Aidan Flamberge fell victim to Qwertyuiop's influence, which logically could've only happened in Lunar Shadow X because his previous appearances happened after being influenced by his friendship with Mi'aro Genryutsukei.
