Shining Force 2 playthrough part 14 (NEURONS ACTIVATED)

AT LAST! Sarah and Karna has been promoted to Master Monks. Now that I know that there are 2 Vigor balls, I now have 3 of these ladies in my roster along with the default Master Monk character, Sheela.

This is more of a mass recruitment video, where a total of 6 characters can be recruited when you reach this point in the game. The first time I played this game over 20 years ago, I wasn't even aware of the specifics of these backtracking portion of the game and I only discovered it by reading those guide magazines back in the day.

By then, I was already at the point before I fight the last boss for the game.

Only one battle this time, where the Muddle spell conveniently worked... for the ENEMY, on my strongest character, which is my player character. When if I want to use those, they RARELY (read: NEVER) WORK.

I can't hate the RNG enough.

That short battle before I backtracked all the way to Creed's mansion? That was just another repeatable battle, not exactly a part of the main story battles so I edited that part out.

That was the part where you can get those other 3 characters where I chose Karna.

Next week, a stage that is reminiscent of that one battle where you have to time your approach to avoid the laser attacks... but in an even more difficult setting.

This is the part where my "cheat characters" can truly... uh... shine... and the reason why I needed to make them.
