Taking the long way around Holtz Island to the Northeast, I found the Abandoned Mine. But before that, I found the Dark Reason. It’s a puzzle dungeon that houses the dark guardian. Don’t fall into the pit and choose the correct door to succeed. After this, I went out in search of the holy guardian. Sleep at the Guild Galad inn four times and speak to the woman out front. She’ll give terrible directions but go to the north island of the inner sea. Enter the right door, the left door, and go back. Then stand on the staircase and look at the wall for the password in the next room.
With these two new guardians, I decided to grind out some Tim spells. The area in front of Meria is the best place, probably, for this. The only mobs that spawn are grenades, which usually come in waves of two and three. Most importantly, even weak Tim can one shot them. I got all of his single target spells before carrying on.
Back to the mines, it’s an empty place. There are only two puzzles of note down here. The first is when you have to turn off leaking water pipes to escort a fuse through the room. Timing is the key here, but it's generous, and I did it on the first try. Doing so explodes a rock. The second is where you should use Pooka to open two chests. Otherwise, the party will take damage front falling statues. At the bottom, we find Kanon again. She, again, talks of her destiny as the descendant of the Sword Magess. Ashley doesn’t want to fight, and Kanon seems reluctant, as well. If it weren’t for her lineage, she wouldn’t be our enemy. History hasn't changed, so a fight breaks out.
It’s a similar fight to the previous times, but Kanon hits a lot harder now. Poor Tim didn't stand a chance. Like, even reviving him just makes her target the kid. Kanon hates Tim, and I can get behind that. Illia’s protect spell helps so, so much. Keep Illia healing, and Ashley should attack. Use his new move you got earlier in the dungeon from a Pooka chest. I forgot to teach it, so let me know if it’s good. Good luck.
After the fight, Kanon continues to not understand how she’s losing. She should be able to defeat the great demon in Ashley, but she can’t. Judecca shows up and says this whole thing was more buying of time. This is the fourth time an event was just to buy time, so cool. He leaves, blows something up, and we, somehow, return to Holtz to nurse Kanon.
Marivel is waiting for us, and we all go to the inn. Mar says that Kanon overused her bio-implants. We then hear an explosion and run outside. Judecca is setting stuff on fire for some reason. Kanon shows up to stop him, beats him up, and everyone returns to the Valeria Chateau. ...with Holtz still on fire. Kanon joined up after Ashley promised she could kill him if his inner voice ever went crazy. I wasn't aware his inner voice was evil or had the power to gain control, so I'll throw this into the pile of random McGuffins.
Kanon is officially invited into ARMS, and we get our next mission. We found where the power plant was going.
And we'll head there tomorrow!
I totally skipped over this is the ending sentence, but we learn what Kanon's real name is: Aisha Bernadette. Valeria knows it but didn't share it with everyone else. I wonder what they're history is?
Kanon has a passive move that puts a radar on screen on the world map. It signifies a treasure or a new location. With that, I pretty much just went looking for stuff. I stumbled upon another new guardian, the snow one, in the Abandoned Ice Box. Green, Blue, Gold, Red, Black, White. Remind me to fly over the world in the Chateau to find more.
