 Morale beacons by the day, but I stand by my prince's cause. My only regret is that I don't have you with me. Even just an image to remind me. Oh, how I miss you, little webby. They said a spider would be a poor pet that I couldn't bring foreign species to Dragon Spire, but we showed them. I don't know what became of you, but if spiders can survive among the Drex and the Dreconians, just know that the roggy wuvs is with a webby. Morale beacons by the day, but I stand by my prince's cause. My only regret is that I don't have you with me. Even just an image to remind me. Right, let's head off to Dragon Spire. We're gonna leave a mark here and we're gonna go home, go to Dragon Spire, head to the Crystal Grove, and take a photo of a wee little spider boy. So cute. Also, there's the death tree. We need a quest where we talk to that death tree. I think he knows a lot. I really think he knows a lot. Ancient Crystal Weaver, that's who we need to take a photo of. And luckily, we got one here. Let's go. No, not happening. We need to go up closer. There we go. That is a great photo. Really, really great photo. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. I'm just a really good photo mentor. Not that I really care because it doesn't actually need anything more than just to take photos of it, but hey, we did it. We did it. I think these guys... We'll go to the blue one real fast. We might see a couple over here. It was literally called the Spider Hive. See, absolutely no spiders so far, which is great start. Not the one we wanted. There's a shimmer widow. Look how cute he is. Oh my God. That was a sketchy photo take. Very sketchy photo take. One faceted spike spinner. Interesting. Interesting. Oh, here they are. Their life. Interesting. Interesting. Life was an interesting choice. Kings eye all. There we go. Got it. Got it. Are you practicing photomancy without first completing the photomancy rituals? Are you mad? Come see me in my office. Oh, he angry. Oh, he angry. Here we go. Now I can blame Roger Webfist for the spiders in Dragon Spire exactly as well as his fault. So you think you can stomp all over Dragon Spire doing whatever you want, huh? Yeah, I do, actually. Well, we may all be dead our society vibe from history and our world of rubbish wasteland, but we still have one thing left. Protocol. Rigid, inflexible, redundant protocol. And I will not see our tradition of thorough procedure falter. You know, I swear the death tree knows a lot more. He's in the background of that photo there. That means something. That actually means something I can guarantee you. So as I said, to practice photomancy in Dragon Spire, you must complete the photomantic rituals. The first such ritual is the reading of the exhaustive tones. They are scattered about the office here. I hope you're a quick study. You know what we should do? We should take a picture of the pictures here because then it's just, you know, it makes sense. Just a picture of the pictures. Surely that'll let us do everything. And so it was in the second evening of the eighth month of the 29th year of the Third Age that Eugene, the excessively bright, did mancy his first photo. It was this great victory over the forces of light and paper that earned him the title of photomonger. But photomongering proved more of a curse than a blessing. And Eugene, the excessively bright days, were about to get very dark. You can say excessively dark. Dialogue. Gotta love it. Photomancy spread to all of Dragon Spire. Everyone everywhere recorded every image of every moment. This proved quite troubling, though, when those moments were embarrassing. Entire houses fell from shame because their Lord's grieves did split. So Eugene photomonger was ordered to tap into the light energy of all photomantic images and filter those which might prove socially toxic. Naturally, the practice drove him mad and a new photomonger was appointed. Naturally, he too went mad and so on and so on throughout the ages. The cost was high, but the photomongers were credited with preventing the collapse of Dragon Spire society from unrestrained public shaming. Some of the camera angles are slightly weird, but, you know, that's fine. That's fine. Exhaustive tomes, one and two. Bibliography. Luther rink smudges the alliterative mortmonger, a compendium of historical texts about light and its uses. Author unknown. The photomonger's manifesto. Melvin photomonger. The photomonger's manifesto. A rebuttal. Melvin photomonger. The truth about the invisible smiley mane. Felix photomonger, the second. A treatise on public discourse and insanity. Dr. Jeremiah Drake. Weird bibliography, but okay. Ah, so you completed the ritual of the reading of the exhaustive tomes with your mind intact. Few have shared that honor. The next task should prove far less difficult. It is the ritual of the fighting of the spider, draconian, and Colossus. It symbolizes the difficulty of photographing spiders, draconians, and Colossi. You can find your subjects in the tower of various rituals. Um, right. It doesn't really add too much to the backstreet, apart from how the spiders got here, and we can blame that guy, Roger, for all of the spiders. And I mean, I'm happy with that, but they could have just left. But that's fine. That is fine. Right, let's do this. No pictures. No pictures. No pictures. Okay, no pictures then. It's fine. I didn't want to take any, okay? I just needed to beat you. Should have probably bought some prisms because these are not too bad. We'll be fine. We'll be fine. We'll just slap a faint on him. We'll be good. So it goes just slap a faint or we'll be good. Makes sense really. Makes sense. What is this? Okay, it's just a blade. It's fine. It's just a blade. Don't worry about it. That is just a blade as well. They all blade it. That's cute. That's cute. They're so in sync. Plus, I blade it as well. This must be a, like, you know, it must be a sign that we're doing the right thing. I think he doesn't want a picture taken. Just a hunch though. Yeah, I mean, you never know. You never know. You never know. He could maybe want it. I doubt it, but no, I'm thinking not. I'm thinking not, but you never know. Maybe we could try it. We'll see what happens. Okay, this is just, just stop with the bad spells. Like, seriously, seriously stop. Seriously stop with them. Stop it. I don't like it. Stop it. Don't like it. No, please, no. No, please, no. No, please stop. Stop it. Okay. Okay. It is a blade. We'll just slap a faint on the death guy. It should be GG. Can we get a shout as well? That'd be great. Ask him. You shall receive. Now we just need a Lulu. Please, game. That would be great as well. A Lulu would be fantastic. Scarecrow. Whoa, what is this dragon spire? Oh, wait, it is. Geez, Scarecrow. I haven't seen this one in a long time. Holy moly. Holy moly. I have to say that this spider does look pretty cool. Not gonna lie. Not something I want to mess with, but does look pretty cool. Just saying. Okay, Blizzard was just not necessary at all. Just please stop. Just stop. It does nothing. You're bad, okay? You're bad. You're not even nearly killed me, okay? So shush. Just die, okay? Just die. There's a faint. We should be fine here, I think. We got a Lulu. Not what I want to do. I want a Lulu. Lulu, here we go. For the GG. The real quick GG here. Exotic spider, exactly. Exactly. What is this spell? Why do people nowadays, all of the enemies nowadays, just spam this spell? I don't understand. Like I really don't. Whoa. Whoa, what is that? Don't see that one often. Geez. Six rounds as well. That's crazy. That's an extended one. How do you get that? I want one. That's such a bad spell, too. Exactly, like why? Why? It doesn't make sense at all. Well, GG, hopefully. Hopefully this guy dies. Yeah, he did. Pretty sure he did. 99.99% sure he definitely did. There we go. GG. Ritual complete. If anyone needs me, I'll be upstairs in the ritual chamber of casual work days. Ritual of casual work days. What does that even mean? At least it isn't sirens or storm walls. That is true. That is very, very true. I appreciate them for that, but still, you know, they could use not bad spells. Right, let's go back in here, talk to Felix, and he'll be like, hey, now you can take photos because anybody help you with an Azteca boss, I can help after this quest, I guess. You completed the ritual of the fighting of the spider, the draconian, and the Colossus? Perhaps you are worthy to take pictures after all. I told you. But first, another ritual. There's a residue that condenses a long knowledge crystals, a sort of filmy substance we use to develop our picture. The ritual of finding a crystal requires you to bring me such a crystal so I can reject it and send you on the ritual of the better crystal. It was meant to symbolize the frustration of the photomantic rituals. But I don't think it will hurt much to speed things up a bit. So go to the crystal grove to retrieve both a crystal and a better crystal at the same time and bring them to the hall of inevitable betrayal. And never mind why he's called that. I'll tell you when you get there. I bet he's going to betray us. Whoa, who would have thought that? Where is the crystal? That is crystal. Number one to get this one here. Fantastic. Now we need to go to inevitable betrayal because that makes sense. Look, all of inevitable betrayal. Let's go do this. Boom. Yeah. Four, three, two, one. Righty-ho. Let's go. Those are indeed fine crystals. One finer than the other. I'll throw them on my crystal pile. They are no longer relevant to the process. You have completed every ritual I have given. So now, of course, I must destroy you. This is the ritual of inevitable betrayal. Symbolizing the pain and discord brought by the ubiquity of personal Fotomansi. Now you will see all your effort, all your work, everything you have built come crashing down in a flurry of flashing bulbs and mean comments. Okay, do we have cleanse? I think we do. Yup, we have some cleanse. Let's put some more on there because you can never have too much cleanse. That is a fun fact. You can never have too much cleanse. Righty-ho. Boots felt useless for once because you've checked the damage. I... What boots do you have then? Out of interest. He's got so much health. Does he cheat? That is a great question. I don't even know if he cheats. If he cheats, we're screwed. What is his name? Felix... Felix... Fo... Do... Among... Three. Does he cheat? Does he cheat? He doesn't cheat. That is good. Does have a lot of pierce. He can't even e-free. Wow, he's bad. He does have mass hits though. That's like the best spell in the game. That is the best spell in the game. Not gonna lie. Um, right. We do have a shad, which is good. We can absolutely, utterly obliterate him. It showed it gives more damage to fire than ice. You were obviously looking at the wrong boots then. You were probably looking at the wrong boots because the Zeus boots only give damage to one school. They give resistance to others. But they only give damage to one school. Yeah, he doesn't cheat, which is actually really, really good. Um, really, really good. He's not even that bad. Like... The worst he can probably... The worst thing he can do is brim, meteor, fire dragon, and fire beetle. Everything else is just random, random stuff, like backdraft, incendiate, um, mass hex, which is like... Wow, okay, Kingsile. Okay. Okay. Just a lot of health, which is cool. Ding, dong, jaded ridding. Um, right. Okay, we're not getting anything. Do we just Kizmo? Probably not. We need some more feints and stuff. I'm actually getting low on health, which is not good. Brim, this will actually do a decent amount because he does actually have like a whole bunch of damage and pierce. Yeah. Just a bit. Just a bit. Ding, dong, jaded ridding. Ding, dong, jaded ridding. Feint, yes, ple-ee-ees. Can this minion do anything scary as well? Like... Destroy me. Completely destroy me. It can storm lord, so that's fun. But not take away many of my blades. It can also unfeeble. There we go. Here is the storm lord I was telling you about. Nice wee storm lord here. Plus a mass hex. This will do a decent amount, I would say. A decent amount plus a stun. You'll show the screenshot of the boots later. Okay. Right, now we're stunned. We need to go for a Lulu next. Here's two feints. We should be fine. We'll Lulu next. Hopefully he doesn't kill me. This is actually coming down to the wire real quick here. Real fast. This shouldn't kill, hopefully. I mean two traps though. Ooh, this is gonna be close. They call me clutch McGee. For a reason boys, don't worry. 280 health, that's just enough to kill. Just enough to kill. Hopefully we can crit. Doesn't matter, we're still gonna get a hell of a lot of health from this. Plus we can just follow up with another Lulu, so we should be fine. Should be fine here. But yeah, 281 health, that's all you need to win. Point in case right here at crit Lulu. With double feint, easy clap. He's not quite dead, but just another one will be fine. Plus full health, yay. Plus some minions gone now, so less to worry about. Fizzle heart, you suck. He sucks. He sucks. 19,000. Okay, we're just gonna blade, blade into a Kisma. Should be GG. Should be GG here. Because like I said, he can't do too much damage. Can't do too much damage. What was that? That's weird, not even a mess here, cause that was just a hex. Odd. Odd that's not in his catalog of spells on the wiki. Um, righty-ho. Let's see. Okay, there's a back draft. Gotta love the back drafts. Can Kisma do 20,000? No, we need one more blade. One more blade, just to be sure. Just to be sure. Just to be sure. You never know. You never, never know. He's saving up for a huge hit right now. Too big Kisma's gonna kill. It's just how it works. Just how it works, you know. I don't make rules, I just follow them. Right, this should be GG, hopefully. Correct. And there we go. Nice work. I think we did need that blade. And so you have at last completed the Photomantic Rituals. The power of Photomancy is now yours to wield. But the truth is that power was inside you all along. The rituals were just there to help you realize your own potential. I know. Yes, I know you have already realized your own potential. I told you, we have protocols. Reach of now paths, so go forth and Photoman. Take the last picture you wanted to take of the crystal crawlers out in the grove. Honestly, this guy, what is this floating orb thing? Kinda cool, Loki. They are, look, the ice guys. I hate these guys. There we go, boom. Oh, look, luckily we can just teleport right back. Fun. Fun, fun, fun. Morale beacons by the day. But I stand by my prince's cause. My only regret is that I don't have you with me. Even just an image to remind me. Image, image, these images, these spiders. They look like the baby. How, how much time has passed? I'm enough for spiders to spray, to prosper, to make the ruins of our homeland their own. Thank you, stranger. Morale beacons by the day. But I stand by my prince's cause. My only regret is that I don't have you with me. At least I have an image to remind me. Look at that. What a, what a satisfying quest. Photomonger, aha, that's a cool badge.
