Parallel Lunar Shadow
Page 10: Top Floor (Layer 3)
ACT 3:
- TOP LAYER (LAYER 3)
- It's on! The Top Floor is split into 3 parts with 2 Warp Doors
each. Right before the Castle Master is the Top Floor's Warp
Room. It has door for each part of the Top Floor, Warp Doors for
the Outer Warp Room, the Laboratory Warp Room, the Tower Warp
Room, the Servant Warp Door and Warp Doors for Sea Zone, Zone of
Confusion and Sanguine Sanctuary.
- Top Floor (Layer 3) is a miniboss rush (ala Kirby's Adventure
miniboss tower or Kirby: Return to Dreamland's miniboss
tower/Kirby Super Star Ultra's Planet Mechat) where Serenity
fights upgraded minibosses in this order: Twin Xyx, Leviathan,
Bandersnatch, Necrosis, Corrupted Tranquility and Corrupted
Repose.
- The first Layer 3 Warp Door appears after Bandersnatch falls.
The second appears once Alexis is defeated.
- Upon reaching Alexis, Serenity asks if she's responsible for
the upgraded minibosses. Alexis confirms she isn't a necromancer
and that the Castle Master revived them.
- It turns out that the Castle Master is Ashen Flamberge, an
engineering student who a few years ago went off to slay the
previous Castle Master alongside his sister. He gave into the
Castle Master's power and so she stays out of loyalty.
- Serenity knows that the Castle Master has taken a lot away and
so she must fight to avenge her family.
- Alexis has 2 phases: in Phase 1 she fights normally by using
thunderbolts, charging at Serenity and dropping down to summon
energy orbs. Phase 2 has her use the Castle Master's power. It
transforms her into a fiend with an aura resembling her brother
Aidan.
- Alexis is defeated. Serenity offers to help her free Aidan
only to be rebuffed. Aidan must die with the Castle Master and
so Alexis commits suicide.
- The second Layer 3 Warp Door opens. The Castle Master is upset
but then starts acting strangely, claiming to be The Eternal
Darkness. Serenity claims that she'll end all this needless
suffering.

Parallel Lunar Shadow
Page 11: Top Floor (Layer 2)
- TOP FLOOR (LAYER 2)
- The dungeon is the same as the original Top Floor. However,
the player fights Ataraxis instead of Azehr and so Top Floor has
far less rooms. Alexis's boss room is replaced with a Weapon
Forger who can create the Vorpal Sword and the Crescent Cutter
(covered in Optional Content).
- Ataraxis is an evil clone of Serenity; she had jet black skin
and wears the Blood Queen outfit. The Dark Armour renders her
immortal hence why Serenity has to drain her HP several times
before Ataraxis uses the Castle Master's power. Her new fiendish
form grants her an aura resembling The Eternal Darkness, though
she's now mortal.
- Ataraxis dies. She laughs before gloating that The Eternal
Darkness will destroy all of Newerth.
- A Warp Door now appears. Grab the Dark Armour which can be
equipped at the final boss for the Forced Betrayal ending.
- Serenity then backtracks to a previously sealed off area.
- Serenity then encounters both Shinica and Scarlet. They stay
here under the Castle Master's orders but decide revenge is the
best option. In other words, it's Serenity vs Shinica and
Scarlet.
- The duo are defeated but Serenity won't kill them. Shinica
turns her back on the Castle Master and tells Serenity she'll
meet her at the Top Room Warp Floor. Scarlet decides to return t
the Servant Quarters, telling T.E.D to burn in hell.
- The second Layer 2 Warp Door opens. T.E.D loses it and goes a
profanity laden rant about the betrayal than just happened.

Parallel Lunar Shadow

- TOP FLOOR (LAYER 1)
- The final area. There's a save point and a Warp Door in this
room. It leads to Top Floor CZ (where the Zone of Confusion can
be accessed) and Azehr's boss room.
- Azehr is the last boss standing in Serenity path to T.E.D. He
has 4 forms (similar to Bodysnatcher/Bandersnatch) and can turn
invisible at will. He introduces himself, claiming that Sycor
and Grialdyn were inferior prototypes to his design. Upon his
defeat, he gloats that T.E.D will win but never create any
machine better than him.
- Upon Azehr's defeat, the player can turn back or venture
forward into the Top Floor Warp Room. As promised, Shinica is
there and teaches you Thundaga. You also gain the Arcanum (fully
powered and loaded).
- You can fight the Castle Master now or go off on a detour to
other parts of the Castle.

Parallel Lunar Shadow
Page 13: Top Floor (Final Battle)
- THE FINAL BATTLE
- Serenity finally faces off against the Castle Master. She
makes it clear that he's done much wrong, that he's killed her
parents, that he's corrupted Aidan's soul and made Newerth
worship him as a false god.
- Ashen's motive for becoming Castle Master was that his talents
were unappreciated and that he was picked on by other students.
As far as he's concerned, it matters little if Newerth dies
because he hates them all anyway.
- If Serenity wears the Dark Armour, she gets the Forced
Betrayal ending. If not, the final battle begins.
- [Phase 1] Ashen uses Emerald fire and summons dark orbs. He
teleports frequently and can use red thunder once he loses half
HP.
- [Phase 2] Ashen transforms into The Eternal Darkness. T.E.D
rams Serenity, can call laser beams from the skies, use red
thunder and slice with his keyblade. Poisonous gas fills the
room but Serenity's Oxygen Aura protects her.
- [Phase 3] Deathorb MK: II appears. Damage the circular saws
then go for the mech itself. It can either move around the room
(with blades close), extend the saws out or rotate them out.
- [Phase 4] Now broken, the Deathorb MK: II bounces around,
hoping to crush Serenity. Avoid the shockwaves and aim for the
cockpit.
- It's over. The Castle Master is no more. You can either absorb
the Castle Master's soul and take Ashen's place (Castle Master
Serenity) or destroy the Castle Master's soul (End of Darkness).
- If you destroyed the Castle Master's Soul, you then escape
using each of the Warp Rooms in reverse order. After that, cue
ending and credits.

Optional Content (Page 1)
- In each area are Life Capsules, which increase Serenity's HP
by 2. Collecting them grants Serenity more HP, useful for
surviving long battles.(Not available in 1-HP Mode or Boss
Arena).
- Various sections of the Lunar Soul Castle are linked together
via different areas, they may contain NPCs or enemies.
- Both the Left and Right Towers have an optional boss. The Left
Tower has you fight both Micren and Irving in a water filled
room. The Right Tower's optional boss is Sycor II. The battle
takes place in a spike filled room, with Sycor having some new
attacks.
- Serenity can obtain three secret weapons: Vorpal Sword,
Crescent Cutters and Zero's Lament:
- The Vorpal Sword is made by fusing Misery's End with the
Vorpal Queen (found in the Clock Tower). It's a sword that can
fire beams.
- The Crescent Cutters are made by fusing the Lunar Sickle with
the Sun Filter (found in the Password Room).
- Zero's Lament is found in the Sea Zone. It's useless and does
nothing though it can 1HKO the Castle Master.

Optional Content (Page 2)
- Three bonus dungeons exist:
- Sea Zone allows you to recruit Ignis who much like Serenity
lost her parents to the Castle Master. It's a water based
dungeon where the player fights XYZ (Gun form).
- Sanguine Sanctuary is one area connected to the Myst Zone.
Here Serenity must venture through a world stained in blood
where her Oxygen Aura can't save her and where her Valkyrie
Wings are inert. The dungeon lasts 5 rooms and has 2 bosses, one
of whom is Shiori, the game's secret boss.
- Zone of Confusion is a surreal area with pink water (reverses
controls) and puzzles that test Serenity's resolve, Corridors
filled with fatal spikes and Illusions spikes (pink). The player
fights Confushias who gives Serenity the Ragna-Cannon. *(The
original text mentions Kim Tyranto and the Tyranto Staff, the
latter only being mentioned here)
- The Grim Path opens up once you complete the 3 bonus dungeons.
At the end is a door that takes you to Bloodstained Moon where
Lunar Shadow is fought.
- Boss Arena allows you to fight either the main game's bosses
or the game's optional bosses (and Lunar Shadow Soul).

Sea Zone
- SEA ZONE
- After using a Password to unlock Sea Zone, Serenity ventures
into a blue door. This takes her to Sea Zone.
- Sea Zone is a water based dungeon, similar to the Reservoir.
It also has various lifts, some of which transport Serenity over
a bed of spikes.
- To find Ignis, Serenity must find a blue house. Once there a
scene plays and Serenity can go into her house.
- Sea Zone has no miniboss. After you leave Ignis's house, the
area will now be populated with strange ghost-like enemies,
something that Serenity will take note of.
- Serenity must use the lifts to find a door. On the way there,
she can obtain Zero's Lament and 2 HP Capsules.
- The main boss of Sea Zone is XYZ (Gun). It resents being
trapped in that awful shell by that red headed woman (Scarlet)
and remembers Serenity mowing him and his twin self down.
- As such XYZ (pronounced Zweizuh) assumes the form of a gun,
considering it an appropriate metaphor for his revenge.
- XYZ has 2 health meters. During it's first phase, it only
shoots bullets and fires cutters. Once it reaches Phase 2, it
creates a green copy of itself. The XYZs work in tandem and must
have both HP bars depleted to end the battle.
- Once defeated, XYZ reverts to it's true form: a seabound
spirit. It then tells Serenity that it's sorry for being unable
to protect Ignis.
- Serenity leaves and returns to Ignis. Ignis remembers how her
parents were slain by a robotic monster (XYZ) who was Scarlet's
pet. Serenity tells her that Scarlet must've taken XYZ and
converted it into it's machine form.
- Ignis is reluctant to leave her home, scared for her life.
Serenity tells her that if she stays here then the Castle Master
will ruin the lives of people like her unless she does
something.
- A voice calls out to her, begging her for forgiveness. Ignis
recognizes it as a sea spirit her parents took her to as a
child. At this point, Ignis decides to forgive XYZ and gains her
awakened power.
- After the scene ends, Ignis resolves to help Serenity to
defeat the Castle Master and can now assist her as an A.I
controlled partner. Her sole weapon Zweizuh can morph into
multiple forms and can gain levels instantly.
- With Ignis recruited, she can help against the Castle Master,
Nexash, Shiori and Lunar Shadow. She'll refuse to go into the
Confusion Zone saying it gives her bad vibes.

Sanguine Sanctuary
- SANGUINE SANCTUARY
- Serenity can access this area via a doorway in the Laboratory
Warp Room.
- Sanguine Sanctuary has 4 areas: (Area 1) Gate of Bleeding,
(Area 2) Streams of Blood, (Area 3) Sands of Nexash and (Area 4)
Bloodstained Seal.
- Area 1: Gate of Bleeding resembles a shrine and has various
NPCS within it. Several of them discourage Serenity from
venturing fourth though it's futile.
- Area 2: Streams of Blood prevents the use of the Oxygen Aura
and the Valkyrie Wings. Serenity must swim through blood and
climb across various pieces of architecture.
- Area 3: Sands of Nexash has Serenity in an area with blood red
walls, a green background and red/green sand. She must do battle
with Nexash, a long slain create that Shiori memorialized. (It
uses Alpha's A.I and Puu Black's A.I) It has 2 health bars; in
Phase 1, it fights Serenity in it's shell-like body. During
Phase 2, it leaves it's body as and attacks as it's eye. After
that fight, Serenity ventures upward until she reaches the door
into Area 4.
- Area 4: Bloodstained Seall is a black and red area. The grass
is blood red like in Area 2 though most of Area 4 is like a
prison. Once Serenity reaches the top, a scene involving Shiori
plays out. It introduces her as a character important in
Newerth's history before she created Lunar Shadow (as a
protector) and was sealed away when it went rogue and after she
died.
- Shiori has 4 phases much like the Castle Master. Her first
form has her teleport, surrounding herself with blood orbs, fire
blood projectiles and yellow lasers. (Uses Misery's A.I.)
- She then morphs into a black and red tank, resembling Valkyrie
X. The difference is that the arena is partially submerged in
blood and covered with fatal spikes at the sides. (Uses Monster
X's A.I)
- Her next form resembles Shinica Horton with Shiori's colours.
Her attacks are the same as Shinica's but the battle takes place
in a room with moving platforms and fatal spikes. Falling off
the platforms spells death.
- Her final form resembles T.E.D except with Shiori's palette.
The difference is that the arena is covered in dark grey and red
bones with fatal spikes and blood water.
- Once Shiori!T.E.D is down, Shiori reverts to her default form,
warns Serenity that she's powerful without the shapeshifting and
that Serenity should deal with Lunar Shadow, her greatest
mistake. She then fades away,.
- Serenity must then escape through a corridor which then leads
her to Bloodstained Sanctuary's Warp Door or outside the Lunar
Soul Castle.
- If Ignis was recruited, she'll help Serenity. There are also
minor dialogue additions if you get to Shiori or Nexash.

Zone of Confusion
- ZONE OF CONFUSION
- Serenity can access the Zone of Confusion through Top Floor
CZ, unlocked by beating the game. Serenity goes into a pink door
which takes her to the actual area.
- Zone of Confusion has 4 area: (Area 1) Corridor of Perplexion,
(Area 2) Mystifying River, (Area 3) Bewildering Field and (Area
4) Shrine of Uncertainty.
- Area 1: Corridors of Perplexion involves several horizonal
corridors littered with red fatal spikes and pink fatal spikes.
The pink spikes aren't real and won't harm you. As such, you
fall through the pink spikes and avoid the red ones.
- Area 2: Mystifying River has Serenity avoid enemies on land
and navigate through pink water that reverses controls. The
enemies cannot be killed and kill Serenity on contact. Serenity
will eventually make it to land and move into the next area.
- Area 3: Bewildering Field has the enemies from Area 2 but
also NPCs who happen to be previous Castle Masters. The area is
a field with salmon coloured ground and pink grass with the
spikes from Area 1 and the water of Area 2.
- Area 4: Shrine of Uncertainty is a short area with a Save
Point and a Warp Door. It resembles a shrine of sorts and has a
stage boss.
- Serenity meets with Collector Confushias who mistakes her for
Serenity V. Horton. He remarks that she seems to have lost her
Tyranto Staff and Ragna-Cannon and wonders why she hasn't
brought back the Castle Master's Soul yet.
- Serenity explains her situation to Confushias and so the
latter decides to test Serenity's combat prowess in a 3 phase
battle.
- [Phase 1] Confushias fights you with his Puppetmaster Aura and
calls his two puppets Xalmar and Zhagus to assist him. Xalmar
prefers projectile attacks while Zhaghus gets up close.
Confushias himself attacks with explosive energy (Uses Undead
Cores's A.I)
- [Phase 2[ Confushias uses his Guardian Aura which can run
Serenity over and fire homing orbs. It hits hard in order to
make up for it's middling HP. (Uses Monster X's A.I)
- [Phase 3] Confushias surrounds himself with a green barrier
which is shielded by the souls of the previous Castle Masters.
In addition, Serenity must also contend with fallen souls.
- After the battle is over, Confushias congratulates Serenity
and gives her the Ragna-Cannon, telling her that the Tyranto
Staff is far too powerful for someone like her.
- Serenity leaves the Confusion Zone with new weapon in tow. If
she's completed all 3 bonus dungeons, she must then refight
Ashen/T.E.D with Ignis at her side.
