skorch82 plays Brave Fencer Musashi - Part 4 of 70


Due to Ye Olde YouTube Limits, this is split into two parts. Here's the first one.


Here's the second one.

The door with the jar and the cone above it is the grocery. Here, you can buy healing items that can replenish your HP as well as cure status ailments.

The door with the bread is the bakery. The various breads here will replenish your Bincho Points (BP). Your BP will slowly dissipate by the hour (in game time) and when it's down to zero, your health will go down. I'm guessing that Steward Ribson was right in saying that you have a temporary Bincho field surrounding you since you were summoned. Be careful with the items that are here, however, as the milk can spoil after a few days and the bread products can soon get moldy. When that happens, these items become far less effective to the point that they're absolutely useless.

If a door is not open, you can knock on it. During the daytime, you can knock on doors to talk to more townspeople and get some more information.

One of the homes has an awning next to the entrance as well as a weathercock on the roof. This is the mayor's house. When you talk to him, he'll figure out who you are pretty quickly. He'll ask you to find the neighborhood dog, and if you bring him back, you'll be made a citizen of the town and you'll get some information on the Five Scrolls. Accept the task. You'll find out the dog is in Twinpeak Mountain, but access is forbidden and even he can't let you in.

Leading out of the village is a series of entrances to the Somnolent Forest. One of the paths lead to a short area. The green soldier carries a spear, the little white lump of an enemy tries to eat you and the ghosts will try to shrink you down to fun size (if they aren't teleporting somewhere nearby when they see you, that is). The Bincho Field that you'll find here will have your first rescuee: Guard Lumpwood, who returns to the entrance to Twinpeak Mountain to guard it. If you talk to him there, he'll let you pass through to Twinpeak. (Before you find him, Macho will be guarding it and will then head home at 20:00, leaving the path unguarded and giving you the earliest opportunity to sneak over there.

Whenever you free somebody from a Bincho Field, your max BP will increase by 5 points. These will definitely add up over time, so it's best to free everybody.

There are four stats in the game, and these stats increase as you play through the game. They are as follows:

Body: Musashi's strength. This increases as you defeat enemies.

Mind: Reduces the amount of damage you take from enemies. This increases as you run around throughout the game, so this is obviously the easiest stat to increase.

Fusion (Fus): Fusion's attack power. This increases as you attack with Fusion.

Lumina (Lum): Lumina's attack power. This increases as you attack with Lumina.

There is a limit to the amount of levels you can power up to in every chapter, and once you reach it, you won't be able to level up anymore until you beat the current chapter. When you reach the last chapter, you'll be able to reach the maximum level of 30.

Head back up to the gondola and talk to Guard Lumpwood. You'll be able to enter Twinpeak Mountain.

When you enter, you'll get some pretty epic music and the sound of a waterfall. When you see the sign, go left. Break the Bincho Field you see to free Soldier Lardwick. He'll ask you to free his brother, Knight Lardwick, who is located somewhere else on the mountain.

You'll see the dog on a small island, but a white blob with teeth blocks your path. Find one of those ghost enemies and assimilate his powers to get Shrink. Use it on this blob, then walk on it to flatten him and get it out of the way. Thankfully, it doesn't re-spawn once you beat it.

To rescue the dog, hold the Control Pad towards the dog and press Square or Triangle to pick him up. You'll have to throw the dog over the river in order to keep the dog from getting wet and respawning back at the island. You can't fight enemies while you're carrying him. If he falls into the river, he'll return to the island where the bone is and start chewing on the bone again.

Once you head back to the gondola area, the dog will instantly head back to the village. Mission accomplished!
