This is video #049 in my playthrough of
Lufia & the
Fortress of
Doom. This video does not contain commentary. To view the commentary version, click here: https://youtu.be/aGpd083ilRA
The party has collected six pieces of
Alumina from the caves on Gayas,
Loire, Ulupp, and
Elba Islands. They now have to travel to
Herat, the kingdom up the river west of Marse.
From Marse, they sail west along the coast. A short way to the west, they find the river they must sail up (time 0:45).
The river is pretty tight. After passing into a mountain range and entering a lake, they locate Herat (time 4:05).
Talking with folks around Herat, the party learns that the king is an extreme gourmet and can't find anything he likes to eat. They also learn that the purple newt found in the cave east of town is supposedly really good in recipes. So good that a cook from
Lyden was seeking it. Hm
...
In the inn, the western cabinet contains a
Plum Cider (time 4:33). The other contains a Hi Potion
.
In the house with red floors northeast of the entrance, the western cabinet contains a Rod (time 5:26).
What the heck, game? The eastern cabinet contains an
Apron.
The southeastern celler entrance leads to the armor shop (time 5:41). Also in there is a man who has good advice about
Dragon Eggs. The party will not be following that advice just yet, though.
First, I want them to raid all the treasure chests that the Dragon Eggs will be scattered to later.
Speaking of the armor shop, it has some excellent stuff to check out.
Behind the item and weapon shop, the party can pick up a
Mind Potion behind the item shop logo inside the building (time 6:48).
Next door to it is a
Great Potion behind the weapon shop logo.
The weapon shop's main new addition is the
Buster Sword. If the party has collected the one from
Level 7 of the Old
Cave, only one should be needed now.
The northwest path leads up to
Herat Castle, the last friendly castle in the game (time 8:19).
After chatting with folks on the first floor, the party heads up to the second floor with the stairway in front of the center door (time 8:56).
The northwestern chest of drawers contains an Ex
Bomb (time 9:20).
Talking with the cook in the northeast room will result in some humorous dialogue. Basically, the cook needs new ingredients to please the king.
The party next goes up to the third floor (time 11:37). A
Power Potion can be found in the chest of drawers in the old man's bedroom (time 11:48).
Afterwards, the party heads up to the fourth floor (time 12:21)
. In the throne room, they learn more from the princess and the king (time 12:39). So basically, the party must get the king some tasty food in order to get the last piece of Alumina. The things we do.
The castle's eastern entrance on the ground floor leads to the treasure room (time 13:11). But of course, the party cannot collect the treasures until they have pleased the king.
Afterwards, the party Warps over to Lyden (time 14:01).
Downstairs in the cooking building on the hill, they will find a man robed in red in the kitchen (time 14:37).
Apparently, he has prior experience with Herat's king. Before he can help, he needs some
Purple Newt. Apparently, it is supposed to be in the cave east of Herat, but the man has not found any.
Maybe the party should look.
Before signing off, the party Warps back to Herat (time 17:34).
Thanks for watching!
