PrinceWatercress plays Illusion of Gaia - Part 13 of 21


In this entry, we take a break from our journey in Watermia, but almost as soon as we get there, someone from Will's - and one of our friends' - comes up...




Watermia



If you talk to your friends, Lilly will tell you that Lance saw someone he knows in town, and that Erik has found something behind the house. If you go down the ladder, walk around the house, get behind where the ladder is and press A, you'll find Kara's secret diary and read an entry.

To the left of Luke's house is where you will find Lance. The person near him is his father, who seems to have lost his memory after the expedition with Olman. Talk to Lance, then his father, then Lance again. When you leave, Lance will head out.

South of that house is Sabas and Nana, whose names were on the letter held by one of the skeletons in the Larai Cliff dungeon. They have no idea that their father is dead, unfortunately, and aside form talking to them, there is nothing else that you can do regarding them.

As you talk to people, you will learn that Lance's father came to Watermia two years ago with no memory of his past. You'll also learn about the Great Wall of China and the Sand Fanger (whose bodily fluids are a miracle cure of some sort), and that the brown saddled creatures here are called Kruks. These were mentioned in Sabas and Nana's letter. You'll also learn that if you get bitten by a snake, you can mash directions on the Control Pad to shake them off.

One of the kids will tell you to wait on the right side behind the gambling house, as a lotus leaf will come.

One of the pots in the southwest corner of town contains a Red Jewel. The nearby house contains a Dark Space portal.

East of that house is the gambling house. Here, people are playing a game of chance called Russian Glass where if one drinks the wrong glass, they will die. If you go in and check the right pot in the northeast corner, you can find another Red Jewel. You'll also find Gem in the crowd, so if you want to give your Red Jewels to him, you can.

If you take the kid's advice involving the lotus leaf next to the gambling house, you'll get on a raft where the man on it will tell you about Russian Glass.

After all this, head back to Luke's house. Everyone will have Lilly's fifteenth birthday party, then Lilly and Lance will have a private conversation outside of the house. Lance will give her a bouquet of roses, then he will admit his love to Lilly to her. Lilly turns into a dandelion and runs away, unbeknownst to everyone else in the party.

Afterwards, you will learn that Lance has disappeared as well. If you look in your inventory, you will find the letter from Lance. Equip it and press B, and you will learn that Lance has went to the Great Wall of China to look for a cure for his father's memory loss and that Lilly has left him. 

Going all the way south will take you to the overworld map. From here, you can go to the Great Wall of China.

Great Wall of China




The archers can only shoot horizontally, though they can move around vertically and horizontally. The Psycho Slider will make quick work of enemies here.

The fireballs will swoop down and shoot columns of fire at you. Stop when you get close and face north to attack. Some of them will also move around on the ground as well.

The snakes will lunge at you if you get close enough. If they bite and grab hold, mash directions on the Control Pad to break free.

You'll eventually find small glimmers on the floor. You'll find out that they are stones that are part of a necklace that Lance made for Lilly. Collecting one will give you the Necklace Stones as an item. As you find more shimmers, you will be able to get more stones for the necklace. The shimmers will also tell you where to go in case you get stuck. One of them takes you to a switch that will open up another area.

There are spears popping out of the walls at the top level. Watch for them so they don't damage you.

You will not be able to cross the small ramps until later.

When in an area with clay statues, pay attention to any statues that look slightly different compared to the others. These will turn into regular archers and attack.

There is only one Red Jewel in the Great Wall, and it is located in a chest in a lower level in the second section.

When you make it to the end of the second section, Lilly will show up in dandelion form and join you.

You will skip some doors as you leave the third section. Do not worry about them for now; you will get a skill that will allow you to cross over the nearby ramps and access them. In the fourth section, there is a Dark Space portal, and if you can drop down to it, you will be able to learn the Spin Dash for Will. To execute this move, hold A, then quickly press L and R alternately. When you start spinning, hold the direction on the Control Pad that you wish to go. This will allow you to get over the ramps.
