My plan worked. The Ring of Fire is great!
After we beat up Gaist, he questions if this is the true power of a dragon. I didn't transform, but he congratulates us anyway. Sadly, it quickly goes south. That fight wasn't so much a test as much of a murder. In order to break the seal, we had to kill Gaist. But he's fine with this. He "died the day he lost faith." Garr seems mostly fine and doesn't grieve at all. The two guardians say their goodbyes, and we return to Angel Tower. Examine the dust that was Gaist to get Garr's ultimate weapon. It's powerful, but it harms the user. If we're getting ultimate weapons, how close are we to the end of the game?
Head back to the naked woman in the light pyramid, and we'll see the seal break. The woman, Deis, knows Garr well. She asks him to come forward and then punches him in the stomach, calling him names the whole time. The altercation is because he and the guardians nearly ruined the world when they wiped out the dragons, apparently. She'll walk up to Ryu, still naked, and call him fun pet names. She doesn't fill us in on much of the backstory right just instant, but she'll ask us to meet her at the cave underneath Mt. Zublio. We assume it's the blue wall with the weird script from earlier. As we leave, Nina asks why Ryu has a dumb look on his face.
Head there and Ryu will be teleported away. We'll get a glimpse of a scene from 500 years ago with Garr and Gaist. They've just killed several dragons when a lamia enters the area. She'll call them names and tell them their God is wrong, and one of the guardians will call her Deis, causing the lamia to slither off. Ryu then comes to an empty room with a small dais in the center. It is at this instance where I made a mistake. Deis will be in her snake form, telling Ryu she can't go around naked all the time. She'll give us a chance to say what form we like better, and I thought this was another sex joke and played into it. That was the wrong answer... The bottom response lets her be a master, so that's a bummer. Deis ports Garr inside, and she'll begin to learn how to see God. In the past, Deis could have simply teleported us to God, but she's "getting old" and can no longer do it. However, she casts a spell on Ryu, which'll allow a light to guide us there. It points north, across the sea, so we'll need a boat. We leave, and Deis stays back to foreshadow her sister. If you try to reenter, Deis needs to rest, so we can't. She seemed like a good master, too...
I went to Raphia to see Shadis. She'll inform us Beyd went to Junk Town to fix their terrible boat. As we approach the south exit of Junk Town, we'll see Beyd a few other Porter Guild members head to the docks, and we're allowed passage for some reason... Bring Momo and enter the docks. The ship is broken and missing parts. Momo thinks she can fix it if we can only get the stuff from the schematics she haphazardly drew up. Everyone asks us to go savage stuff from Steel Beach. We can find some of the parts on the beach, but the important scrap will be in the beached freight. But we're not allowed in because it's dangerous. If we get permission from the foreman, though... Near to the crane is the guy we need to see. He'll ask us to do a dumb game of red light/green light, and we'll accidentally haul up tonight's boss.
The Angler is no joke. Having the Thunder Ring is helpful, but I haven't found a way to avoid status effects. The Ring makes one attack manageable, but its Bone Dart skill sucks. It'll confuse whoever was hit by it, and it seems to work 100 percent of the time. It seemed weak to fire, but that might be a weird quirk on my part. Focus and Combo Attack it a few times while Nina uses Vitamins. I had to use the Hourglass I got a few nights ago to stop time at one point. Ryu had critical HP, and everyone else was dead. I took my three free turns to revive and heal up. If the minigame before this guy wasn't so stupid, it might have been better. Seriously, the game isn't looking better and better with each dungeon... But beating up the frog/fish/crab hybrid lets the foreman know we can handle ourselves in a battle. He grants us passage to the freight ship, and we head in. Sadly, I'm out of time, so I'll finish exploring that...
...tomorrow!
Breath of Fire 3 is starting to drag...
