Gameplay / Re: The ending, final boss, etc. [Obviously spoilers]
« on: April 03, 2009, 10:03:05 pm »
Just finished the game.
The biggest thing that I noticed was that the sunken city had a statue identical to the one in the intro, so I think that they are the same city. My sister wants to point out that many of the statues were of the Creator except for the one of the Mithalan prince. She also kept a running translation of every rune in the game, finding the rainbow soup that way. (She found the translations on the forums.) I have some very interesting ones right here:
Moving on to gameplay.
One gripe I always have about this sort of game is that YOU ALWAYS FIND THE EXACT TOOL THAT YOU WILL NEED IN THE NEXT AREA. Sorry about that. It can't be avoided, but in reality, its silly. The final boss was actually very easy. This may have had something to do with the five Arcane Poultices that my sister and I had collected/made. It also may have been the seven tasty rolls and six tasty cakes, as well as eight buttery sea loaves and two healing poultices. You may laugh at our obsessive compulsiveness now. The hardest boss was the one guarding the jelly suit. IhateitIhateitIhateitIhateitIhateitIhateit and I NEVER want to see it again.

Quote from: Sun temple rune
I have angered the Creator. The Erulian histories are true. For many years we worshipped sun. We believed in reason. The pain is becoming unbearable. The transformation is almost done. Kill me and kill our creator.
