Scene 154

Are you for real? That's what you both saw?

Yeah, and there was nothing we could do...

If Iori's description is anything to go by, then it sounds like we've found the boss from our dream. It's gotta be connected to the Swordsman of Salvation quest.

Yeah, I agree...

Not to mention, I don't think that space is the real basement of the Black Iron Palace.

What do you mean?

Well, I did as much reading as I could on the place...

But all I found were records saying the basement was a jail used to imprison criminals.

Somehow, that door is connected to a totally unrelated area... Triggered, I think, by the Swordsman of Salvation quest.

I think that space is actually a Sanctuary, located somewhere far away.

Wait, so we gotta beat that thing? Ugh… It's not, like, a secret superboss or somethin'?

There is hope, I think. Look at this.

The brooch? What about it? U-Uh...

You see it too, right? At some point its shape changed slightly.

Oh, damn! I hadn't even noticed.

It's a minor change, but it feels like we can make use of it somehow...

To give us some kind of buff effect, maybe? Like a jewel!

You might be on to something.

Your room's closest, {HeroName}. Head upstairs and check your Chest for us, would ya?

Might be able to access more systems now.
