Mystic Stones

This is a sub-page of Proto:Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals.

Mystic Stones#

The Mystic Stone chambers in the prototype version use a completely different tileset and are in a very early state with no collision data and no working exits. The first map has only one layer completed (i.e., no clouds), and while the second and third maps both have a second layer, it's only a small band of non-animated clouds along the top edge. These bands aren't visible except for a tiny section on the second map, but can be revealed by turning off Layer 1 in an emulator.

In the first chamber, the layout is pretty similar to the retail version but more maze-like, with only one correct path to reach the stone. Chamber two is somewhat recognizable when comparing the positions of the doors and stone location. The last chamber has little in common except for the door placement, and is also much larger. Connecting hallways between the rooms are basically the same.

In the retail version, the three separate maps are combined into one large 1408 x 1408 map as a space saving measure.

Events#

The prototype contains very early event scripts for destroying the mystic stones. The RN data for these maps are missing, meaning you can't interact with the stones. However, the event text is present. There's no fancy stone shattering animations or anything, just the textboxes you see below (major spoilers warning!)

To do:
Add retail text.

Mystic Stone 3#

Maxim: これが、最後の魔石だな。	Maxim: This is the last Magic Stone.	これが、最後だ！	This is the last one!	This is it. This is the last one!
は、橋が！？くそっ、ここまで来て！どうすればいいんだ！？	Th-the bridge!? Damnit! This is as far as I can go! What should I do?	JPN text	text	TEXT
デュ、デュアルブレード……。 ……わかったよ。おまえに、かけてみる！	D-Dual Blade... I understand! I'll try using you!	JPN text	text	TEXT
俺の最後の波動を受け止めてくれ、デュアルブレード！！	Please resonate with the last bit of energy I have left, DUAL BLADE!!	JPN text	text	TEXT
虚空島のきどうが変った……。ありがとう、デュアルブレード。これでセレナの元へ行ける。	The trajectory of the floating island has changed... Thank you, Dual Blade. Now I can be by Selan's side again...	JPN text	text	TEXT

Note that the last bit of dialogue here is in reference to Selan having died earlier, so Maxim is referring to joining her in the afterlife after having used the last bit of energy he had to alter the island's trajectory, saving their son and village in the process.

After the last textbox in the prototype, the game attempts to teleport you back to Shrine of Daos 5F, but there's no script in that room to handle it, resulting in a debugging message.
