Life Capsules and Newerthians

**Life Capsules and Newerthians** is a book written by an unknown author. The book is located at Servant Quarters RR in Lunar Shadow.

## Contents

> Not all Newerthians are able to see the wondrous items known as Life Capsules, or even feel them. Life Capsules come in many variants, and can be opened to ingest the candy inside to increase maximum HP. Opening it is difficult, however… seven hours have I struggled, before I could open one! But I digress. The variants, and the HP they give when all the candy has been eaten, are:
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
> * Doomed Life Capsules: -10 - -50 MHP
> * Cursed Life Capsules: 0 - -9 MHP
> * Life Capsules: 1 - 10 MHP
> * Silver Life Capsules: 11 - 25 MHP
> * Golden Life Capsules: 26 - 40 MHP
> * Mythril Life Capsules: 41 - 74 MHP
> * Solarite Life Capsules: 75 - 89 MHP
> * Lunarite Life Capsules: 75 - 89 MHP
> * Astralite Life Capsules: 75 - 89 MHP
> * Diamond Life Capsules: 90 - 100 MHP
> * Amber Life Capsules: 85 - 105 MHP
> * Rainbow Life Capsules: -50 - 115 MHP
>
>
> Those are the only known variants at this time, however, research is being done to find out if other variants exist. In addition, it seems that, on occasion, Life Capsules give more maximum HP than that list states. A new discovery! The candy inside Life Capsules are weird. Ingredients change based on the person who eat the candy. One may find the ingredients to be meat, while another might find that it's carrot or spinach. This is most curious.

Hidden Attic (SS2)

The final area of *Solar Shadow 2*, the **Hidden Attic** is a location accessible from the top of the Splendid Tower under certain conditions. It is a dark place comprising blue bricks, and forms the highest point of the New Lunar Soul Castle. It is also the smallest of the game's main areas, containing only two rooms.

## Story

The Hidden Attic contains a pair of LichenNet computers, which appear to be only used in emergencies. Selena Daria uses both of them to shut down Nought Celeritas. This causes a "fail-deadly shutdown sequence", attracting Terrah Horton and causing him to teleport in.

## In-Game

This area is only reachable on the upper path, after defeating Demaseor and then Ataraxis. Defeating the latter summons an elevator platform to take Selena to the Hidden Attic.

### Music

No music is audible in the Hidden Attic outside of the boss battle. However, an entirely silent track named *Zero's Elegy* is in fact playing.

### Mechanics

The area uses a rising elevator platform, very similar to the one used in Elevator, except wider and blue.

### Enemies

The only enemy is the true final boss, Terrah Horton. He is unique in that he needs to be summoned by interacting with the two terminals.

## Trivia

* Unused files in the game indicate that defeating Terrah was originally intended to prompt an escape sequence in which Selena would be forced to flee the castle filling up with poison, similarly to the escape sequence from Lunar Shadow (mod). However, this was cut.
* The song *Zero's Elegy*, which has a name inspired by Zero's Lament, came about because, due to how the game was written, it was convenient to have music playing at all times, so an entirely silent song was created for when no music was desired.
	+ Coincidently, John Cage's 4'33 follows a similar premise in that it's a song is nothing but 4:33 minutes of silence.
Solar Shadow 2

**Solar Shadow 2** is a fan-game created by Pteriforever. It was first released on February 24th, 2016. Originally planned as a prequel to Solar Shadow, it was eventually made into a reboot as it was decided that the original's story didn't make sense.

## Plot

In 2017, sometime after the events of Lunar Shadow X, the New Lunar Soul Castle was built on top of the ruins of the original Lunar Soul Castle by Eron Araia Armweak, who took over the position of Castle Master after the death of Aidan Flamberge.

In 2022, a mysterious new Castle Master suddenly deposed Eron. This drew the suspicion of the TIA, who sent Selena Daria to shut down the castle.

## Areas

The game has the following areas:

* (Area 1) Entryway
* (Area 2) Moss Garden
* (Area 2.5) Genocide City
* (Area 3) Elevator
* (Area 4) Magic School
* (Area 5) Ice Prison
* (Area 5H) Technology Tower
* (Area 5.H) Sky Platform
* (Area 6) Splendid Tower
* (Area 7) Hidden Attic

## Soundtrack

* = The in-game Solar Shadow 2 version is different to the versions seen on AuroraDash's channel.

## Characters\Bosses

The following characters and bosses appear in *Solar Shadow 2*.

## Trivia

* This work has eleven endings, three of which are exclusive to Bad Heart Mode .
* If the player presses ESC during gameplay, it'll cause Selena to die like she normally does when she loses and sends you back to the title screen.

**Non-Canon Games:** Selenic Shadow • Gun • **Fanon Games:** Solar Shadow • **Solar Shadow 2** • Solar Shadow 4
Misery's End

**Misery's End** is a weapon that can be obtained in *Lunar Shadow*. It has a dark pink handle, and a lighter pink blade.

## Location

Misery's End is found in a treasure chest at the Reservoir. On opening the chest, however, a cutscene will play that will eventually lead to a boss fight against an odd frog. However, you can choose to ignore it in which you'll still be able to obtain it until the post-final boss escape sequence.

## Trivia

* As of Lunar Shadow v4, Misery's End is the strongest weapon in the game; enough so that once you obtain it, it'll carry you through the rest of the game.
* It was confirmed by Cibryll on 12/12/20 that Misery's End would be able to pierce blocks in v5 of Lunar Shadow.

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

A level in *Solar Shadow 2*, the Ice Prison occupies a floor of the New Lunar Soul Castle, above the Magic School and below the two towers.

## Story

The main purpose of the Ice Prison appears to be to contain defective robots. However, when Nought Celeritas gained control of the castle, it was used by Venton Leroi to imprison Eron Araia Armweak.

## In-Game

The level is preceded by the Magic School, which there are two exits into. On the left is the standard path, through which one enters the prison after defeating Kascan Rizou and Serenity Horton. The second exit, at the end of the area, leads to the otherwise inaccessible level 3 Kleure upgrade. Near the beginning is the entrance to the Technology Tower and the rest of the upper path, although it is sealed off by a barrier unless the secret access room earlier in the game was found. At the end is the entrance to the Splendid Tower.

### Music

The music that plays is called *Final Greeting*.

### Mechanics

Unique to the area are ice bubbles, which give Selena a significant vertical boost when touched before disappearing, and guns mounted into the floor and ceiling which fire needle-like projectiles.

### Enemies

The enemies include blue guard robots which fire square bullets three at a time. The boss fight of the area is against both Venton Leroi and Steve Leroi. While there are also some imprisoned green robots, which are the same type as those seen in the Moss Garden, they are purely decorative.

### Characters

Eron Araia Armweak can be found here, at the end of the area.

### Keycards

In every forth level in a Sector is a Mechanto Gate which requires three Keycards from each of the previous 3 levels to unlock; in game, they can be found by interacting with yellow and pink sparkles on the floor. This feature was added in Gun v2 to prevent the player from simply skipping the other 3 levels in favour of going straight to the fourth level of each Sector.

Valerie Horton

**Valerie Horton** is a character in *Lunar Shadow*. She has a Double Taint though she can still see outlines of things which has been speculated to be aura vision.

* Valerie has a purple outline; the darker the purple is, the less health she has.
* Enemies have a red outline. The darker the red is, the less health they have. The lower the saturation, the less of a threat they are - a saturation of 240 equals "major threat". The same applies to enemy attacks.
* Allies have a green outline. The darker the green, the less health they have.
* Allies' attacks have a yellow outline. The darker the yellow, the weaker the attack.
* The terrain has a blue outline. Light blue is used for foreground objects, while dark blue is used for background objects.

Valerie's parents, Ladislaw Smit and Xydia Horton, were turned into monsters by a person affiliated with the Castle Master at the time, Aidan Flamberge. It is currently unknown who, exactly, is responsible.

## Appearance

Valerie has red back-length hair and fair skin. Her eye color is unknown due to her Double Early Taint, but she has scars over both her eyes. Before her Taint activated, Valerie had mismatched eyes - a red eye and a sky blue eye. She wears a purple sleeveless minidress with black opera gloves and tights, and brown shoes.

## Story

### Prior to *Lunar Shadow*

At the age of four, Valerie's Taint activated.

### *Lunar Shadow*

Valerie can make her first appearance in the Servant Quarters and save Serenity Horton from getting killed by Alexis Flamberge, assuming Shinica Horton did not get healed after Serenity's battle with Grialdyn.

## Image Gallery

Comparison of how Valerie would see what most others would see.
## Trivia

* Valerie is currently the youngest Horton to appear in canon.

**Non-Canon**Terrah Horton

Gunnoid-0

**Gunnoid-0** is the main character of Gun. His goal is to train himself in the various Sectors and fight against 3 bosses to obtain their Boss Weapons before reaching the final showdown against their master.

## Appearance

Gunnoid-0 resembles an shirtless android with lines resembling body tattoos wearing nothing more than black baggy pants. His skin is metallic grey and has red eyes and long blond hair that covers his right eye.

Gun v3 updates this appearance by making his hair longer and overall making him look closer to concept art of him; his sprites are designed to avert the ambidextrous sprite problem.

## Personality

Being a robot, Gunnoid-0 has no personality to speak of. Despite being obedient to his programming, the player can have him go off course to the various bonus dungeons without consequence. They're also capable of fighting any of the 3 main bosses in any order and can use various different routes to move further along.

## Story

### Gun

Gunnoid-0 is created by an unknown individual in order to help with their uprising. To this end, he is placed in the Training Sector and must venture into various colour themed sectors against hostile enemies and various obstacles. Throughout the story, the player realizes that Gunnoid-0 wasn't the first Gunnoid to exist as evidenced by their corpses and the bosses's reveals about their master's plans; during these fights, Gunnoid-0 obtains new weapons that'll boost his fighting chances as the challenges get more difficult.

## Image Gallery

Gunnoid-0 (Default; Gun v1/v2)Gunnoid-0 (Default; Gun v3)Monochrome Costume.Sepia Costume.Monocolour Costume.Inverted Costume.Failed Husk Costume.
## Trivia

* Gunnoid-0's design takes heavy inspiration from the main protagonist of Shin Megami Tensei III: Lucifer's Call because they're both silent protagonists who are shirtless and wear black pants.
* Morbidly enough, a few of his costumes require the player to kill Gunnoid-0 which unlock bad endings. The player can even fight against Inverted Gunnoids if they end up in Between the Levels.
* All of his alternate costumes are related to colour in some way. The only exception is the Failed Husk which is Gunnoid-0 after his failed possession by The Taboo.
Quoris

**Quoris** is one of Newerth's continents and is considered a natural continent; until 2016, the continent was hidden underwater though nobody knows if any sentient life lived there before it's ascent. The Heroine of Lavender: Xydié came from there, though the Legendary Weapon she used was unknown.. One of the Newerthan Sages, Abigail also lives there as does Caillan Equineox

## Name

Pronunciation: Kwo-ris

IPA:

## Education

Due to Caninoids and Equinoxes being more animal-like than most races in the Xynrife Shadow Project, Quoris's education system would be tailored to their needs. Caninoids came into existence post-2016, requiring an overhaul of their education system to accommodate them.

## Known Locations

* Alukari Village (Yule, one of the members out the Routen Band comes from here.)
* Lavender City

## Trivia

* As "Kim Tyranto", one of Cibryll's game ideas involved Lunar Shadow: Rise of Quoris. As Bloom Seymour, Cibryll had revealed that Selena Daria would've been the main protagonist with Lv: 4 weapons; with Bloom Seymour being Bloom, it may've been a joke.
Maid

A **maid** is a female employed in domestic service, typically performing chores such as cooking and shopping for groceries. In *Lunar Shadow*, however, they are enemies armed with machine guns; they'll walk around unless the player is in their line of fire, causing them to shoot on sight. They can be found usually at the Servant Quarters, but they also appear in some other areas, like the Top Floor.

## Appearance

In *Lunar Shadow*, there are seven variations.

* The first variation has pale white skin and blue eyes, with long blonde hair. She wears a red minidress with silver thigh-high stockings, green rubber gloves, and a frilly purple headband with brown shoes. Her machine gun is red.
* The second variation has pale white skin and blue eyes, with long brown hair. She wears a purple minidress with green thigh-high stockings, yellow rubber gloves, and a frilly green headband with brown shoes. Her machine gun is red.
* The third variation has pale white skin and blue eyes, with long red hair. She wears a black minidress with black thigh-high stockings, black rubber gloves, and a frilly blue headband with brown shoes. She also wears a black respirator. Her machine gun is red.
* The fourth variation has pale white skin and blue eyes, with long black hair. She wears a pale red minidress with pink tights, pink rubber gloves, and a frilly silver headband with brown shoes. Her machine gun is red.
* The fifth variation has fair skin and green eyes, with long brown hair. She wears a white blouse with a red miniskirt, skin-colored tights and black shoes. Her hands are covered with black gloves. Her machine gun is red. Some of them wear black respirators.
* The sixth variation has fair skin and blue-grey eyes, with long blonde hair. She wears a light blue turtleneck with long sleeves, a teal miniskirt, pale teal tights, blue gloves, and black shoes. Her machine gun is dark teal in color. One character Cleopatra Rolandson is a maid of this description though she's seen smiling and can only be located in Servant Quarters RR.
* The seventh variation has fair skin and brown eyes, with long pale purple hair. She wears a purple short-sleeved minidress with a black belt, black opaque tights, black shoulder-length gloves, and red shoes. She wears a black respirator as well. Her machine gun is red.

## Trivia

* All seven Maid variants and Ataraxis use the same AI as Curly Brace battled in the Sand Zone
* The file name for all Maid variants are "Meidobot" which implies there were intended to be robots originally. This was confirmed to be the case by RKS on 03/02/21.
Eron Alexis Armweak

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

**Eron Alexis Armweak** is the twin brother of Eron Araia Armweak and appears in Lunar Shadow ZER0.

## Trivia

* Eron Alexis Armweak is one of the few characters in the series to share a similar name to another character. Unlike Serenity Grimangeldusk, the game he debuts in is canon.
* On 06/04/21, RKS confirmed that he was Alexis Flamberge's husband, the mayor's son and a staff member of an internet forum.
Elevator (SS2)

The **Elevator** is the third main area in *Solar Shadow 2*. It is dark and calm with a neon-red colour scheme. It is a short area, comprising four main rooms plus two secret rooms.

## Story

The Elevator connects the clean, heavily guarded upper levels of the New Lunar Soul Castle, where most of its denizens are, to its lower levels -- the lobby Entryway and the spooky basement floors Moss Garden and Genocide City. Halfway up the Elevator is an invisible wall on the left. Go through the wall and you'll be able to find the hidden Access Room, through which the Technology Tower can be unlocked.

## In-Game

The Elevator is reached from the Moss Garden and leads onto the Magic School.

### Music

The music that plays is called *Unlightenment*.

### Mechanics

The main rooms of the Elevator contain a red elevator platform which constantly rises as long as Selena Daria is directly above it. It must be ridden while avoiding the many spikes in the area.

## Trivia

* The Elevator is the only main area of the game which does not have a boss.
List of minor characters

This page is for characters who have so little information about them that creating a page would be impractical.

List of Minor Characters:

* Amorey Hatake
* Chie ( An enigmatic "dimension-wandering" rabbit-like girl. She uses long words a lot, which is one of the things Serenity dreads. She likes to tell tales, be it long stories from history, or short fables of myth and legend.)
* Chie Reitsuki (Knows about the starless and became comatose at some point.)
* Cid Aar (The father of Martel Aar.)
* Coatl (the cowardly, polite quetzal of the autumn.)
* Izanari (the brave, stoic eagle of the toximn, and the son of Izanami, the eagle of the ocean, and Izanagi, the eagle of the thunder)
* Lilith Horton (A powerful individual who is mentioned in Selenic Shadow and is never actually seen.)
* Marshussu (the most powerful of Iquarox's 6 mythical birds)
* Martablilu (Marshussu's wife and mother of Tiamat)
* Quinzal (the silly, quick parrot of the summer)
* Ximenesia (the rude, shy owl of the winter)
* Zsigmondy (the blind, deaf hawk of the spring)
Aura

**Aura** is a type of power seen throughout the Xynrife Shadow Project and has multiple forms. Auras can be used for combat purposes, surrounding the user and protecting them by damaging their enemies but also ensuring their deaths if they fail. Aura vision is one of the powers connected to Auras, and those of the Horton lineage fortunate enough to be born with a Celestial Taint can use Auras with no setbacks.

## Lunar Shadow

Alexis Flamberge uses a purple coloured aura during her second fight, though she fights no differently than she did during the first fight. The downside to this is that the aura's power kills her upon defeat. It's currently unknown if Aidan Flamberge is also capable of using this ability.

Ataraxis also uses an blue aura during her final phase, which allows her to tower over Serenity. Due to her only having a regular taint and her aura cancelling out her immortality, she winds up dead once Serenity defeats her in combat. It's currently unknown if the other Serenity Clones were capable of using Auras or if only Ataraxis was capable due to her status as an still-imperfect but stronger clone.

Valerie Horton has Aura vision, which causes her to see the world very differently. By seeing auras, she can see how powerful she and her enemies are as well as all attacks and the difference between background and foreground objects. Brighter auras signify strength and good health whereas darker auras signify weakness and low health.

## Selenic Shadow

Invi has a blue aura around herself during her fight, though unlike Alexis it doesn't kill her upon defeat. During the second form, where Invidia and Nemesis combine their power, it manifests as a giant red aura that can fire lasers.

## Other

In Serenthian lore, Yurlunger, Goddess of Rainbows and Zyzyx, Serenthan God of Auras can also use them without ill effects due to their status as deities.
Xydia Horton

See also: Xyz

Xydia Horton was the mother of Valerie Horton. It's been confirmed that she was turned into a monster by Aidan Flamberge.

## Appearance

Xydia Horton is a Valkyrie who has tanned skin, reddish-blue hair and heterochromia (her left eye is green and her right one pink). She wears a darker blue miniskirt, black evening gloves and black stilettos.

## Trivia

* Xydia and Ladislaw's appearances were revealed in a mini-pic Cibryll drew containing several characters. It was the 4 drawing out 10 (so far).

## Trivia

* Sea Zone and Top Floor are the only areas to return from Lunar Shadow  though the former is heavily revamped to account for Ilina's inability to swim and also due to complaints about the original Sea Zone.
* Coincidentally, the Life Orbs and Life Jewels work similarly to the Blue Orb Fragments and Blue Orbs from the Devil May Cry series.

Mi'aro Genryutsukei

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

**Mi'aro Genryutsukei** is an antagonist who is mentioned twice in Lunar Shadow, having died before or after the events of that game. Before that, it was said that he was a tyrannical dictator who took over Tirahnys after Ilina Horton was forced out of power when she was abducted in Lunar Shadow ZER0.

## Appearance

As usual with Dark Elves, he has dark blue hair and dark skin. He carries a weapon known as Bloodrinker which becomes more powerful when it absorbs blood.

## Personality

Mi'aro is an individual who sees himself (and by extension his race) as superior to all others; this racism manifests in the laws he set during his reign of terror during 2013-2015. His hatred for non-elven races came from an incident where his parents and one of his elder sister were killed by a murderess.

## Story

### Lunar Shadow

He's only mentioned twice: first in the Myst Zone and again in Sea Zone. His alliance with Aidan wasn't shown due to an oversight.

### Solar Shadow

Unlike the canon timelines, Mi'aro lives for far longer though he doesn't remain in power the whole time. By 2033, he has retired and is no longer powerful though his fate is unknown.

## Image Gallery

"Kim" erroneously claimed that Mi'aro was one of Bloom's many additions.However, this is contradicted by the Tirahnys thread she made on the Lunar Shadow Forums on 31st January 2015.It was confirmed on 25/07/20 that Mi'aro and Aidan's alliance wasn't shown due to an oversight.
## Trivia

* Despite only being mentioned twice, Mi'aro is one of the most important antagonists in the Xyrinfe Shadow Project and as the List of Retcons page has proven, ended up being a source of confusion for some time.
* If one rearranges Mi'aro's name, it spells Mario which was completely unintentional as King (2.0) had found out.

### *Lunar Shadow ZERO*

She kidnapped several children from Yes Town, and kidnapped president Ilina in Gomu Forest. She is also the boss of the Entrance.

### *Lunar Shadow*

While she does not appear in *Lunar Shadow*, an engraving at a statue in Myst: Demise of the Maiden can be found written by her.

> In 2013, my liege had me take many kids prisoner… but one of them defeated me in Yes Town. She got a scar over the left eye, so to recognize her might be easy. In any case my mission was completed and I left. Then I learned that one of those kids I had captured happened to be president Ilina, and she is kept here. Here she will sleep until 2015, when the brainwashing will be completed. Alas, a faster way does not exist. Anyone who touches the device will be in for quite a shock, however. I believe a man from that town is here. In this castle. If I do not update this, then I likely died at his hand.

## Story

### Selenic Shadow

According to Serenity herself, she is a travelling merchant from Synhart whose goods were purloined by a Purloin (which she herself notes is a painfully bad pun). She is located in Grié'dýr: Music along with Julian.

## Alexis Joan Flamberge

**Alexis Joan Flamberge** is a character in *Lunar Shadow*, having first appeared in version 3a. She is the sister of the Castle Master, Aidan Flamberge, and is fought twice in the game. She is referred to as "the dreaming lass" by some of the tablets within the castle. She also has the ability to create a harmful aura which is used during the second battle with her.

## Appearance

Alexis has brown, shoulder-length hair and blue eyes. She has fair skin. Her attire consists of a blue, sleeveless top worn underneath a lavender-colored corset. She wears an azure, sleeveless coat of some kind over that, which almost reaches her ankles. She also wears blue jeans and light blue tights with blue pumps. She wears a pair of yellow rubber gloves on her hands, and blue armbands over her elbows. She finishes her outfit with a straw hat.

During her second fight, her appearance is the same with the addition of a purple aura resembling a large figure.

## Personality

She's loyal to her brother in spite of his malevolence though even she finds his "eternal darkness" schtick to be tiring. She was also a genius who passed primary and high school with flying colours, which implies she was an academic genius. Though loyal to her brother, not even she knows about Azehr's true nature and it's implied that he keeps her in the dark about certain details of his plan.

Unlike her brother, she doesn't share his sociopathy or misanthropy. Once he's gone, she abandons the Lunar Soul Castle and it's legacy provided that she survived her second fight with Serenity Horton. If the player kills her, she'll communicate with Serenity through telepathy that she'll meet her in Top Floor BR before dying off.

## Story

### *Lunar Shadow*

Alexis is first met in the Servant Quarters, where she is battled for the first time; after this battle, she leaves.

She is later met in the Tower throne room, where the second battle begins; she uses her aura here. If she is battled before Shinica and Luna, the boss fight against them are skipped and Alexis reveals that Shinica is a Horton. After the battle against Alexis, her throne's death trap is activated and she dies due to the aura.

It is possible to save her from dying due to the use of her aura, by giving her a Cure-All; she then appears in Top Floor where she reveals more information.

## Trivia

* During the first battle against Alexis, it is possible to defeat her by standing on the uppermost block at the right of the room; Alexis is unable to hit Serenity there.
* Her family's surname is the name of a one-handed sword (with a curvy patterned blade).
* Interacting with Alexis just before the boss fight (at the middle of the throne) will reveal an Old Key, apparently hidden in her shoe.
* Much like Aidan, she's also based off of Cibryll's many sockpuppet members from Vresun; in this case, she's based off Alexis von Ventus.
Felinoid (race)

Felinoids are another race in Lunar Shadow, and as the name implies, they are cat-like in nature. Members of the Horton family who happen to be part-Felinoid are born with a different taint known as **Felinoid Taint.** This variation of the Taint allows them to see despite losing an eye.

Valkyrie(race)
Technology Tower (SS2)

The *Technology Tower* is the smaller of the New Lunar Soul Castle's two towers. It has six floors of one room each. It is sealed off by a barrier, which needs to be deactivated from the hidden access room in Elevator.

## Story

The tower is Eron Araia Armweak's heavily guarded personal workshop. At the top is a safe room where Nought Celeritas and Death's Head were stored. The former was stolen by Terrah Horton while the latter is still there by the time Selena reaches the tower.

Also stored in the tower are a number of books, notes and documents, most of which were written by Eron, Terrah or Venton while some appear to be from the old Lunar Soul Castle.

## In-Game

The Technology Tower is preceded by the Ice Prison and followed by the Sky Platform.

It is part of the upper path, but, unless Demaseor is defeated, it is possible to return to the lower path by backtracking to the Ice Prison. This is, in fact, required for one of the Endings.

### Music

The music that plays is called *Ascenders Revive*. This was originally from OfficialVideo's 2014 *Alternate Reality Battle!* EP, but was later reused for *Solar Shadow 2*.

### Mechanics

While the level lacks spikes, it contains fire spinners, consisting of a solid, harmless core and a rotating, damaging arm of pink flames.

### Enemies

In addition to the area's boss, Death's Head, there also exist red robots, which have the ability to shoot in a full 360 degrees to target Selena, and can also shoot through walls.
Reservoir (LS)

The **Reservoir** is the third area accessible within the Lunar Soul Castle. The theme that plays is a ORG cover of Adventure Island IV's Crystal Stage. The area is mostly a light blue in color, with a lot of water. There are multiple exits - Reservoir L goes to the Laboratory, while Reservoir TL and Reservoir TR go to the West and East Tower, respectively. In addition, Reservoir SP leads to the Myst Zone, but only under special conditions. The Warp Doors can be found at Reservoir SP, and a few can be found at Reservoir B as well.

## Items

* Life Capsules: these only appear outside of 3-HP mode. In 3-HP mode, they don't appear at all.
	+ One is found at Reservoir I. It increases HP by 3.
	+ One is found at Reservoir LC, and increases max HP by 4.
	+ One is found at Reservoir O, increasing HP by 3.
	+ One is found at Reservoir S, and it increases maximum HP by 5.
* 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 20. It is found at Reservoir B, and is the one of the ways to learn the spell.
	+ A treasure chest increases the mana for it by 15. It is found at Reservoir Y, and is the one of the ways to learn the spell.
* Air Tank: obtained at Reservoir B, underwater.
* Life Pot
* Beast Fang
* Weapon Shield: obtained in Reservoir I.
* Cure-All: found in Reservoir SP.
* Misery's End: obtained on the Reservoir Boss 1 map. Obtaining it will also start the boss fight against Irving.
* Bubble Key: obtained at Reservoir TR.
* Squid Medal: obtained after defeating Micren without taking any damage.

## Enemies

* Bao i Ora mi Que (mini-boss)
* Irving (Stage boss)
* Micren (Stage boss)
* Kulala (EX boss)

## Trivia

* As of now, the Reservoir's first puzzle (Use the Crescent Moon to defeat an out of reach Rainbow Ikachan) is bugged because the Rainbow Ikachan doesn't come down if it moves upwards. This can be solved if Serenity leaves the room, and jump-shoot with the Crescent Moon before the Rainbow Ikachan stops moving.

* It's also possible for the player to trigger the cutscene for Bao I Ora mi Que and then die if the player runs out of oxygen. However, getting the Air Tank prevents this from happening.
Venton Leroi

**Venton Leroi** is a character appearing in Solar Shadow 2. He is one of the two bosses of Ice Prison, and is in fact the prison warden.

He is the father of Steve Leroi.

## In-game

He is fought at the same time as Steve Leroi, and they share a HP bar. He flies up and down at the left of the arena, throwing a variety of magical attacks as he does so.

## Trivia

* Venton wrote a book named "At School's End", which can be found in the Technology Tower.
* Venton knows of the existence of Vresun's Teranium, a locked building in Archon City, Jarodimia. The significance of this was never fully explored unfortunately.

## Appearance

Ella is a fair skinned girl with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes who wears a plum purple tank top and a magenta skirt in addition to a white headpiece

Ella appears in Grie'dyr: Music 2 near a computer and two beds. If the player chooses to read her diary, they learn that much like Sofia, she witnessed Lilith Horton destroy most of the statues in under 10 minutes. She feels that if Lilith is a major threat, she can't do anything; she also reveals that as a nurse, she wouldn't want to break an oath not to kill others. She also reveals that Grie'dyr doesn't appear in any of the books she's read, implying that she knows little of the place she's trapped in.

## Trivia

* It's possible that Ella Harten is one of the few characters in the series to be a pacifist.
Taboo Zone

The **Taboo Zone** is a bonus dungeon in Gun that is split into 3 sections, each with an overall aesthetic that is completely different to the mechanical wasteland of Mechanto Isles. All three areas appear underneath dark tunnels which are used to move between the various Mechanto Sectors. As the player descends, they're taken to a strange, surreal realm full of hostile life and an even stranger individual called Sur.

The first two areas of Taboo Zone have a pink background with purple blobs scrolling in the background. The foreground has terrain that starts out pink and gradually becomes more purple as it goes down. At various points, the player is expected to move around in pink water as they try to find The Taboo and destroy them. Additionally, there are various doors that can take the player to other areas in the Taboo Zone.

The third area of Taboo Zone has the same visuals except the foreground and background are now blue while the water is still pink.

## Trivia

* Out of all the areas in Gun, the Taboo Zone is the one that tends to change the most drastically between versions in terms of appearance and level layout. In Gun v1/v2, the background was yellow with plum ovals in the background whereas from Gun v3 onward, the background has plum and purple blobs with a pink background which has been redesigned to give off a 3D effect.
* Taboo Zone (as of Gun v3) is one of the few areas in the game to have a custom track created from samples of other music tracks.
	+ In this case, Deep Waters of Taboo samples the Playstation 2 start up sounds, Phantom/BGM 2 (Kokuga), Submenu (Robot Warlords) and Hyper Zone 1 (Kirby's Dreamland 3). Before Gun v3, all areas of the Taboo Zone used Hyper Zone 1 as it's stage theme.
	+ Deeper Waters of Taboo samples the PS2 start up, Submenu (Robot Warlords), Giygas is Wounded (Earthbound) and Hyper Zone 2 (Kirby's Dreamland). Before Gun v3, Hyper Zone 2 was used as the battle theme for The Taboo.
