Starting up on beta2, we head to the Human Village to check up on Keine, to only have one bad thing happen another! And another game over happens because this game hates me! Also of note, this design is completely different from the original as I revamped it from the ground up basically. All in all, I think it looks rather nice!


Enemies:

Bat: Only will attack or use Blood Suck, and if 2 or less enemies remain, it will run away. Not a very difficult enemy at all.

Evil Post: A bizarre enemy that can actually deal pretty decent damage. In fact, it can pretty much one-shot characters with Dimension Door and possibly Darkra, and also uses various status spells such as Confuse and Berserk. Best to take it out quickly and efficiently!

Toxic Flower: The most dangerous enemy by far, as it specializes in Poison-elemental attacks, which half of the party is weak to (Reimu, Sakuya, and Marisa in particular). Either kill them with AoE spells, or just run away. Poison-elemental attacks will be fixed up later so that they don't murder the party.

Elemental Flame: Basically a rehash of the Scarlet Maid, but with a few other abilities such as Heal and Bio. Decently powerful foes who are a bit harder to take down due to their elemental resistances.

Chimera: The Notorious Monster of the area. They hit with strong AoE elemental spells, so it's hard to guard against their attacks but they're nowhere near as dangerous as the Toxic Flowers. It is possible to steal a skill for Meiling here that would otherwise cost 4000 yen, so it's highly advised to do so! Not only does it save money, but it makes Meiling relatively powerful for this stage of the game.


Bosses:

Keine Kamishirasawa: For those of you who has played Super Mario RPG, Keine borrows a gimmick from the boss Bowyer from this game. She hits with a moderately powerful AoE attack which will lock one command and unlock another command (the commands that can be locked/unlocked are Attack, Skills, and Items). Not super difficult though, and even less so if Patchouli has Spring Wind on her.

Tenshi Hinanawi: Tenshi's a bit more powerful than Keine, but not by too terribly much. Meiling is key to this fight, as most of Tenshi's attacks will just heal her, and giving Wind-elemental to Meiling's attack will help speed up the battle a bit. Overall, not the hardest boss out there.
