"Dad
I found out where mom came from. It was here. A few of the scholars told me about a tradition they have, where a young maiden dons a necklace and pretends to be the goddess, Sol. During the event twenty years ago, a scholar went mad and demanded the necklace. In order to keep it from him, she jumped off the island.
As I looked around the town, someone told me they found a way to return the island to the sea. All he'd need is a bomb and access to the storm shelter. After meeting him in the very back of the cave, I threw a bomb into the mechanism, and the door to the core opened. But the guy stole mom's necklace!
The core is how everything in Arcadia functioned. It had access to every part of Gaia. I don't really understand what all that means, but it's filled with more machines and hi-fi tech from the past. It's split into three wings, and I went left first. This was a pretty typical area with the usual affair. But it unlocked the upper left.
There were several targets I needed to hit, but I also needed another laser turret to get deeper in. There was also a tricky timed jump puzzle that I finished with time to beat. Force is fun! Using the key brought me to a new shield. The Chronos Shield is pure gold and reflects lasers. There was a laser turret just before the room that I had to reflect onto two targets.
This took me to a room I had to fill with water to get high and reach the master key. The big door is located in the main hall.
I saw the man who stole mom's necklace trying to summon Mezmeroth! But he couldn't. When I walked in, though... The room shook, and the statue in the middle broke, crushing the guy. A deep voice rang through the room, saying that he'll be reborn as a god. Mezmeroth.
Even my sword couldn't harm him! All I could do was reflect the fireballs at him. Fortunately, this worked! Once his own attacks hit him, he'd split into three balls. One was real and was his heart (or something similar). Occasionally, he'd fly over to a mechanism, and four lasers would start shooting at me. Smacking the four engines would shut them off. I also think he healed during these moments.
As he died, he told me it didn't matter. He'd just come back. Mom's necklace began to rise, and a voice spoke to me. This was the Sun Emblem, and we've had it the whole time. All three emblems reacted, and Sky Island rejoined the seas. The three gods undid the effects of Tritoth, and everyone was thrilled. They've been wondering how to get back, so here they are.
The guy in charge told me Mezmeroth lives in technology. With the Arcadian Engine down, there's only one more Tritoth powered creation: Oceanhorn. That's all I need to do! They told me about the Arcadian Ruins, but there are some things I need to do first.
When Sky Island floated, I saw our old home. I went there to relive the memories and plan for after this. Nothing was there, but why did Oceanhorn come for you? Dad, who are you? You have to tell me when I hand these letters to you. I'll be doing that soon, but there are a few new islands to check out. The first one: I gotta dig Oceanhorn's grave."
We're at the end game now, and it's down to the side quests and extra stuff. I won't be fishing, even if I remember it actually being fun!
