HCBailly plays Terranigma - Part 49 of 75


We finally head to the Mermaid Tower to take care of the monsters...and it's dead easy!

To the right of the entrance to Corcobet Hill is a fruit stand. Here, you can eat an apple or a watermelon.

To the right of the fruit stand is a woman with a dancing monkey. Okay. To the right of that house is a woman who will tell you about the Mermaid Tower. If you toss the wastebasket near the bed and hit the monkey with it, the woman will get mad at you and the monkey will stop dancing.

The Pink Cloud booth is where you can buy some cotton candy for 10 Gems. You'll also meet Meilin here. How she managed to get all the way to the Americas is never explained, but when you talk to her, she'll tell you she's decided not to leave your side again. Regardless of your decision, she'll ask to go look at the carnival. Meilin will join you again.

Near the Pink Cloud booth is a woman with blue hair. She'll tell you a sailor has claimed that Astarica is behind the mountains in the northwest, and that the people there held rituals to get closer to God. We won't be able to go over there until later in the game. 

Head to Corcobet Hill. She'll tell you that she wants to believe that if lovers do meet at Corcobet Hill, they will remain happy. She then asks if it would be odd if she got to like someone...even if that someone was you. She tells you that she will be back at Corcobet Hill later tonight and that she wants you to return to tell her how you feel about her. She then tells you right out of the blue that she loves you.

You have a girlfriend in Elle underground. What.

Head to the inn and enter the room to the left. Sleep in the bed, and it will be night when you leave the inn. Head back to Corcobet Hill. You'll then see Elle from Crysta, who tells you she came here with the Elder's permission. She then tells you that the sights of Crysta were beautiful because she was with you, and that she knew for the first time how lonely she was without you. Elle then declares she wants to be with you like back then...then she disappears.

Meilin shows up from behind the statue, and tells you that you saw the person in your heart...and that it wasn't her. She then hates your guts again.

When you leave Corcobet Hill, it will be daylight again. You're done here.

Head to the port. You'll see a captain talking to three soldiers, and he will announce that he will give a boat to anyone that defeats the monsters near the Mermaid Tower. Talk to the captain to take him up on his challenge. Say "Sure!" and he'll tell you to get on board when you're ready. When you're all ready, talk to the captain, tell him you're ready, and you'll automatically head to Mermaid Tower.

Make your way up to the stairs at the north end, then keep making yout way to the south once ytou drop down. There will be a doorway at the bottom. Go north after you enter. The Thunder Pike will kill all the fish that swim around easily. Be sure not to get hit, or else the bubbles the spit will throw you back to the wall and be pretty annoying.

You'll soon come across a huge room. Here, you'll fight a boss, which happens to be a blue palette swap of the fish you've fought in the tower. Equip the Thunder Spear if you have it, then face away from the boss so it approaches it. When it closes in, quickly hit with a dash attack. If you have the Thunder Spear and your level is at least 23, you can finish the boss off in one strike. Otherwise, back away from the boss and be ready to strike again.

Once the monsters are destroyed, there will be no sign of other monsters and mermaids will return to the tower once again. Go back upstairs and you'll meet the mermaids. The mermaids are happy to be back and ready to help humans navigate, as this tower is a beacon for humans.

One of the mermaids is named Nana, and she used to be a human girl. She tells you that she was on a ship to Freedom to meet her fiance when a storm hit the ship and took it down. She will give you the Engagement Ring to hand to Servas, and a message for him to get back together with her when they're reborn. Poor Servas...

Another mermaid will tell you that is this is where ships go when lost at sea, and where souls who die at sea gather.

There is a chest where you first meet the mermaids, and if you open it, you'll get the Sea Spear.
