The final battle.

 This was a lot quicker than I thought it would be...

"The White City of Arcadia looks nothing like the capital of an ancient empire. What's all here now are a handful of nondescript ruins. I tossed aside a few of the small robot spiders and found a flute. My father's flute. I wondered why this could be here for a moment before I realized that he must be here. There was a ladder downward, and it took me to a single room.

Before that, though, was my father. He was alive but injured. He informed me that he tried to battle Oceanhorn himself but couldn't harm him. He did manage to disconnect him to the remaining Tritoth power grid. He seemed stable, which was a relief to me. But then Oceanhorn began to stir. My father asked me to run away, but I refused to leave him alone or let this monster keep terrorizing the world!

I was warned about Oceanhorn's death laser, but I knew I could use that against him. My Chronos Shield reflects everything, including this laser. If I remember correctly, the shield was designed to reflect Oceanhorn's laser and make it more powerful. The Coral Blade may have felled one of the three living fortresses, but it couldn't do any damage to Oceanhorn. Nor could bombs, arrows, or the pots strewn around the room. For that matter, the laser couldn't only damage a few areas of my opponent: the legs. Knocking down Oceanhorn revealed two blue spots of electricity. Oceanhorn gets back up fast, so speed was of utmost importance here. Once I damaged both of them, another red heart popped above the monster's head. Avoiding bombs, lasers, and regulating my lack of stamina made this battle tight, so I had to be in a zone during this.

But the battle was not over. Oceanhorn escaped my grasp, but he didn't run far. On the roof of this building is where we'd begin round two. Mezmeroth took control of the living fortress, so a two-on-one battle began. Although many small spiders would spawn during this. The presence of the archmage increased Oceanhorn's defense, but he also stopped using the death lasers. The power system that controlled Arcadia was on this roof and could be activated manually. Turning them on could create a beam of intense electricity that would knock down anything that connected with them. Making Oceanhorn kneel would disconnect Mezmeroth from his robotic shell, and he'd try to duel me. This battle went on and on. Whenever I had the mage on the ropes, he'd return to his monster. Again and again... Eventually, I noticed that there was a delay in Oceanhorn's reactivation. Maybe Oceanhorn was "free" during that time? I don't know what compelled me, but I skimmed through my dad's notebook as I sailed to the Arcadian Ruins. It said he's a descendant of a noble knight who was the pilot of Oceanhorn. I suppose that's the reason why he believed Oceanhorn was after him? But he's from that lineage, then so am I. My dad would always play a song on his flute. It's only a few notes long, but I know how to play them. While Mezmeroth tried to return to Oceanhorn, I played those notes.

Oceanhorn rejected his master. The beast was in my control; I was his pilot. The spirit of Mezmeroth isn't very strong, and I had Oceanhonr attack him. He did, and both fell into the ocean with a mighty blast. It was over.

My father joined me on that roof, and we finally reconnected. We sat for a moment by my boat, and he filled me in on what was in his notebook, the Arcadian inventor, Archimedes, and the living fortresses the empire thought would maintain world peace. More importantly, he decided that it was time to rebuild this world!

To whoever reads this book filled with memories from two people, thank you. This was a chronicle of stories that may one day become myths and legends. A part of me hopes that everyone forgets about Oceanhorn and myself. But, if it's being read, then I hope you enjoyed learning about Arcadia, Oceanhorn, and two members of a noble knight lineage.

It took 13:37 hours to beat Oceanhorn, and I did 96% of it. My perfect save file was a bit shorter but considered 100%. I booted it up after this to find a treasure I skipped, so it lied. But I fixed it! In all, Oceanhorn is a fun game. It's basic but worth a playthrough. But I'll get into details...

...tomorrow!
