  5. Greetings, ladies and mentlegen. This chapter’s gonna be a bit of a quickie, seeing as I’m writing this during that rest period between visiting family members on Day 1 and visiting family members on Day 2. Ching Chong New Year sure is stressful huh. But with the red packets and greetings out of the way, Despair Syndrome is back to bring you another quick chapter for a Horrendously Written Guide™. Enjoy. CHAPTER IX: DEMON CIRCUS Well, technically it isn’t the circus that is demonic, it’s the… it’s… It’s the M I N I G A M E S. Oh, boy. But don’t let an old fart like me scare you into quitting Reborn. We’re not even there yet. Anyway, from where I last left you, you should be in Iolia Valley. Simply leave the way you came. Back at Route 1, head north and meet Cain in the Agate City checkpoint. Now Cain tells you it’s a long time before you’ll be coming back. This is kind of the game’s way to tell you that this is sort of a point-of-no-return area, at least until E16. If you’re a COMPLETIONIST™, then why the hell are you reading this guide you should probably finish up all the sidequests before moving onwards. Don’t worry. I’ll wait. . . . All the COMPLETIONIST™ people gone? Great. Now we, the Horrendously_Savage_Players_Who_Don’t_Give_Two_Shits_About_Sidequesting, will go in without them! Uhuhuhuhuh~ All part of my diabolical plan to weed out the people who actually want to complete this game 100%. But seriously, before you go though, I’d suggest you buy a Pokedoll at the Obsidia Dept Store. Give Cain the a-ok and he’ll have his Nidoking break open the door. Pretty frikkin savage, considering we could’ve maybe, I dunno, jumped over it? You guys will walk in and find Agate City to be a living ghost town. Then, Cain spots the corpses Aya and Hardy on the ground. It seems the town was put under a spell, causing everyone inside of it to fall asleep. Cain almost falls into the trap himself when suddenly- Boom. Meet T3RR4. A living incarnation of everything Borderlands. For me, I can almost hear Tiny Tina narrating every single one of Terra’s lines. Anyway, she invites Cain out to dinner and shoves her giant mallet up her butt. ; ) By this point, you would’ve probably stopped reading my guide right now cause Terawr is way funnier. I don’t blame you. If it wasn’t for FORUM_RULE_#2™, this guide would be a lot more hilarious. And incomprehensible. uubich awww yeh rip exhibit b never forgetti. Anyway, M3G4T3RR4 batters Aya and Hardy to god-knows-where. Actually, I know where. Aya is in a certain demonic circus and Hardy? Even worse. ; ) now go sing your hakuna terras tatas and join them u bich Welcome, ladies and mentleterras to Agate Circus. Like the Demon Woods, this place is 80% sidequests and extra goodies. And since I’m in a cheery mood, I’ll actually cover them. Wow! But first, let’s get the story over with. There’ll be a huge line here. This is where you’ll be having your next gym battle. First, we have to look for Aya. Talk to the lady in the top hat to the left of the Big Top. Turns out she’s the ringmaster of the circus. She’ll tell you Samson already took Aya into the circus, so you should look for him. You’ll find Samson here at the High Striker machine. He asks you to meet him at the Big Top. Go right on there. Talk to him and he’ll ask everyone to get out of the way. Then he let’s you go first cause that’s what a gentleman does right? Right? Head into the Big Top and you’ll find Ciel. Follow her and Samson into the back room. There’s a PC and Recovery Unit here. Talk to Aya and Cain will come in, they’ll have a ‘sweet’ reunion. Turns out Ciel, Samson and Queen of B00ty are gym leaders (if that wasn’t obvious enough). Together, they form the Powerpuff Girls Agate Ace Triumvirate! Turns out Hardy was knocked all the way to the DEMON ROUTE. Whoops, I meant Route 2. Guess I spoiled the contents for the next chapter, didn’t I? Anyway, you need a Powder Vial to get through Route 2. You can buy it from this guy, and with that, you’re ready to head into the Demon Route! But wait! Before that, let me cover the facilities and sidequests offered here in Agate Circus. (Mostly because there’s a lot of space in this guide I need to fill up) This place, like 7th Street, runs on Shards. Luckily, you can buy shards from the guy standing left to the Powder Vial guy. For a pretty price though. Anyways, the facilities are listed here in this spoiler. And now, the sidequests. Oh boy. This first one isn’t really a sidequest cause you need it to advance the plot. Talk to the lady in the green tent and she’ll ask you to solve a puzzle for HM Dive. You need to pay 1 blue shard though. The end product should look like this: Next, talk to the woman next to the clown. For a Purple Shard, solve this puzzle for a Timburr! Solution is in the spoiler. Talk to this guy and for a red shard, solve a puzzle to get a Plume Fossil which can be revived into an Archen. The end product should be: Finally, talk to this guy. For a green shard, solve a puzzle for a Cover Fossil which can be revived into a Tirtouga. The solution should be: With that done, we have only one more sidequest to complete. This one is the most important as it rewards a Dept Store Sticker. First, talk to the girl here. Apparently, she lost her parents and now she’s really lonely. She asks for some Cotton Candy. You can get some for 5000$ at one of the stores. Refer to the facilities section. Once you get it, deliver to it to the kid. She’ll feel less sad about the untimely demise of her parents. Ok? She asks for a balloon this time. You can also buy it at one of the stores. Give her the balloon and she’ll temporarily forget the fact that she’ll never ever see any of her family members ever again. That’s pretty savage. Ahem. This time she asks you to get a Pokedoll from the High Striker, but since RNGesus wants to shit on me at every single opportunity, I decided to get the Pokedoll from the Obsidia Dept Store instead. Give her the Pokedoll. This time, she requests Ice-Cream. You can get that- ohhhhhh u sunofabich Turns out the kids a boy! God frikkin damn it. Oh, and it turns out his mother is alive and well. And my family asks why I don’t want kids. If I had a kid, they’d probably end up being a little shit like this one. Anyway, the lady gives you a Dept Store Sticker! Wooooooo! Too bad we won’t be able to use it. And that’s basically everything you can do at Agate Circus. Time for you to step into the DEMON ROUTE. Good luck.
  6. Welcome to Reborn! You must be a Binding of Isaac pro judging from that play time. What's your highest win streak? Mine is 1. :I 1v1 me in osu m8
  7. This question has been on my mind for the past few months and is really too philosophical for me to comprehend. Go ahead and discuss your opinions on this matter. Please don't cause flame wars over this. :Kappa:
  8. It's in the second part of the Underground Railnet. You need Strength to get there. If you're already there, it should be inside a rock smashable wall. EDIT: Ninja'd~ Wp, Chubb, you win this round.
  9. CHAPTER VII: DEMON HIDDEN ANCIENT RITUAL PLACE THING Continuing from where we left off, you’re gonna want to escape this place. Climb up the stairs and you’ll find yourself in a labyrinth sort of place. What you want to do is avoid the tunnel-visioned guards. Don’t worry if you get caught though, you’ll be put back into the dungeon and go through a pretty long animation before you get rescued again. In fact, the animation is so long, that there’s no room for error here. Please don’t get caught. If you get caught, feel free to go eat a sandwich or something. Luckily for you, you’re reading my guide, and here’s some insider information that no other guide will teach you! (What do you mean this is the only guide which is at this part of the game?) Everytime you pass a guard, save. Press ‘D’ to quick save, in case you don’t know. Boom. Half of your worries here have been solved. If you get caught, press F12 to soft reset. It’s much faster. What do you mean you already thought of that? Clearly this strategy was invented by the one and only myself. Anyway, I’m gonna give you step-by-step guide on how to escape this hell hole. Start by going directly right, then go up. Next keep going up and head to the corridor on the right. There’s a library here where you can find a Spell Tag and read books. I’d suggest you remember the contents of these books. Head back out and you’ll find SPINNING_CULTIST_A™. Head up when he’s looking away from you, then take the first left. Here you’ll find DEAF_PATROLLING_CULTIST_A™. What you want to do is when he turns away, run behind him. Yes. Follow quickly behind him and quickly take the first fork as soon as you reach it. Stay in the corridor and wait for him to turn away, then continue left. Head down at the fork and go to the far-left corridor. Here you’ll encounter SPINNING_CULTIST_B™. Head up when he’s not looking and take the first left. Here you’ll find SPINNING_CULTIST_C™. Bypass him using that small passage beside him and continue on. These guys don’t know anything about choke points, huh. And congratulations! You made it through the most demonic part of this place. Feel free to head on up the stairs. (Or talk to the cultist in front of you for MAXIMUM_MASOCHISM) When you head up the stairs, a voice will call all the sentries to some worship site, leaving the labyrinth completely empty. Thanks, PLOT_VS_PLAYER™. Anyway, there’ll be cultists standing around here, but you can battle them now. Maybe they should’ve took your Pokemon when they locked you in the dungeon? Maybe they forgot because Bennett’s stupid. What you want to do, is to get through this door here. To do that, you need to interact with all 4 Arceus statues at the corners of the place. There’s also Light Shards at the rightmost and westmost corridors. Once you reach the statues, it’ll give you a quote from one of the books back in the labyrinth library. What you’re supposed to do is to enter in the number of the verse that corresponds with the quote. If you forgot, feel free to go back to the labyrinth and check. Alternatively, just look at the solutions here lol. After that’s done, the door will be open. Head on in. And you’ll walk into an erm… a pretty compromising situation. Erm. Awwwwwkwaaard. To put it simply, you walked into an old guy holding a ritual with a young girl bound in chains while his men (one of which with an awfully familiar moustache) watches in the sidelines. Ooooookkkkkk. I think I’m gonna head on back to the dungeon. Unfortunately, the game makes you sit through it. (Besides, El invites you to watch sooo…) AND BENNETT. BENNETT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. HOLDING A PRETTY BOY 10 YEARS OLDER THAN HIM HOSTAGE WHILE HIS CRUSH GETS MOLESTED BY SOME OLD DUDE. BOY HAS BEEN READING TOO MANY DOUJINS IF HE THINKS THIS IS ANYWHERE NEAR ‘OK’. LUNA IS HIS CRUSH, PEOPLE. Anyway, El proceeds with the ‘ritual’, while you stand and watch awkwardly. And boom. Gardevoir. She eats El’s men and Radomus subdues El. Radomus, ladies and mentlegen. I can’t believe neither El or Bennett spotted him standing there. Then again, they’re idiots, so I don’t blame them. Gardevoir attacks Bennett (I think? No, I hope, serves that idiot right) Turns out they were living together? Ew. “How I look at Luna us nobody’s business but my own.” What the fuck. How the hell is that appropriate? Have you ever heard the term “undressing with your eyes”? Cause I’m pretty sure that’s what we’re all thinking you’ve been doing, Bennett. Gardevoir suspects Bennett was jacking off to Luna the entire time. That was pretty obvious, Gardevoir, you didn’t need to point that out. Otherwise, why would Bennett be even the slightest bit ok with keeping his crush in chains. Filthy pervert. Bennett better die in the next episode. Hell, even El’s worried about what Bennett’s been doing in his room. I actually lol’d. Radomus, like the nice guy he is, claims that Bennett is just a confused little boy. A confused little boy with a bit too many hormones. “I just want the best for Luna.” I. Am. Speechless. Honestly I am. No smart remarks here. Just speechlessness. Just. Why? And with that, Gardevoir teleports you lot out of that filthy place. Luna apologizes for almost getting molested by Bennett. Don’t need to apologize, dear. I’ll make sure Bennett-blood is spilled. Radomus teleports away and Cain utters more innuendos. Luna gives you a Crystal Plug (How sensous~) :^) Luna says she’ll be waiting for you in Iolia Valley. It is hidden in a single tree in Radomus’ labyrinth. It’s time for you to head out then. Or you can stride back into El’s base with no repurcussion whatsoever. Your call. CHAPTER VIII: DEMON VALLEY Back at the labyrinth? Great. This is the tree that you have to run into. Feel free to jump into the rabbithole. *I could've sworn I saved a picture of the tree. Turns out I didn't. If anybody has that post it in the Discussion Thread kthx It seems to lead into a dead end. But hold your horses, use your butt Crystal Plug on this rock and a wall will appear. Use Rock Smash on it twice and you’re in! Welcome, ladies and mentlegen to Iolia Valley. I suggest you come at night, it feels way out of place in the day time. There are three paths for you to take here. The rightmost one has a blue crystal and the middle one has a green crystal. You can’t activate either of them so take the leftmost path and activate the red crystal. Continue through the cave and you’ll find another red crystal. Activate this and continue on. You’ll find another plug here :^) You can now activate green crystals. Now backtrack to the starting area and take the middle path this time. Activate the green crystal and the nearby bushes will turn into Rock-Smashable crystals. Smash the crystal in the way and head onward. At the end of the path will be another red crystal, activate that. Smash the wall and- WHAT THE HELL. WHY. OH GOD WHY. BLOODY BASTARD FOLLOWED US. GO GET YOUR OWN PLUG, MORON. GOD, JUST GOD. GO AWAY, BENNETT. I KEEP GETTING THE URGE TO THROTTLE YOU EVERY TIME YOU OPEN YOUR STUPID PIXELATED MOUTH. YOU WATCHED IDLY BY AS YOUR CRUSH WAS BOUND IN CHAINS AND NOW YOU’RE LOOKING FOR HER? HOW DISGUSTING CAN YOU GET? AND NOW YOU WANT TO APOLOGIZE? BITCH, GTFO. THIS DOESN’T CONCERN ME ANYMORE? BITCH, DON’T MAKE ME CLIMB UP THERE AND RIP YOUR BLOODY THROAT OUT. Ahem. Anyway, after that nuisance leaves, head on in. In this cavern, there’s a purple crystal. You can’t activate that yet. Continue on. Here, you’ll find the another piece of the Plug ; ) You can activate blue crystals now. You know what that means. Head back to the start and take the rightmost path this time. Interact with the crystal and a bridge will form. Cross it and take the rightmost path first. Activate the green crystal here to clear the way. There’s another red crystal here, use that and head in. Head through the cavern and continue straight. You’ll reach a dead end with a green crystal. Activate that and a bush below you will turn into a crystal. Now backtrack to the bridge and take the other path. Activate the green crystal and head on in. Activate the blue crystal here and cross the bridge. At this side there’s another green crystal. Activate it and bust through. There should be another blue crystal. Activate that and cross. Break through the crystal here that you activated earlier. At the end is a red crystal. Activate that. Head on in and find- BENNETT! Not funny, Ame. Bastard asks you to leave. If you agree to leave, you are a filthy Bennett x Luna shipper and I want you to close this guide and go to your nearest church or other religious institute to have yourself exorcised. He promises that he’s the one that can make her happy. He’s the only one that can make Luna happy. The boy who almost killed a pretty boy while watching Luna being bounded by chains can make her happy. Riiiiiiiight. When Bennett finally gtfo, grab the item. It’s the final piece of your plug ; ) You can now activate purple crystals. In fact, activate this purple crystal right here and head down. At the very end will be a blue crystal. As usual, activate that. Cross the bridge and at the other side is a red crystal. Head in and activate the purple crystal here. Now you’re gonna have to backtrack. Backtrack all the way to the start of Iolia Valley and take the leftmost path again. Keep heading straight and you’ll reach this Light Shard. I suggest you take it. You’re not gonna want to lose this next battle. I just realized that literally all the previous paragraphs were literally just “Activate the crystal. Go straight. Activate the crystal. Go straight.” I now feel like an idiot for not being able to solve this area without a video my first time. Well, dear reader, be grateful that you have me to spare you the torment. That said, take the Light Shard, activate the red crystal and head on in. You’ll find Luna. Unfortunately, someone else also found Luna. Bennett. All this time, he asks you to leave you guys alone. I would gladly leave him here in this valley. Bastard doesn’t even have a plug or a Pokemon that can use Rock Smash. He couldn’t have gotten here without your help. And now he’s crediting finding Luna to himself? How self-centered can you get? This amount of self-centeredness might be able to rival even Fern’s. If you don’t hate Bennett yet then I struggle to comprehend the inner workings of your mind, you’ll definitely hate him now. Bennett approaches and Luna backs off like a sensible person would. I actually feel very bad now. I’m sorry, Luna. I should’ve murdered him and threw him into the river when I had the chance. Noone would find him anyway. Noone would miss him. Luna forgives him. Awwwwww. You’d need a heart of solid gold to forgive someone like Bennett. And she asks him to go away. Yes, please do. And Bennett drops the “I love you” bomb. Though to Luna, it probably came to her as more of a “I think of you when I touch myself” bomb. Erm. Awwwwwkwaaaaard. And Luna backs off again. ayyyyy. “Luna would you be mine?” ERM. I don’t think that’s how you confess to someone? Unless you’re a total perv. Kid is a child prodigy, can’t you think of a confession that doesn’t sound like you’re mentally touching her? Luna leaves and asks you to deal with Bennett. My pleasure. *cracks knuckles* *sharpens knives* Oh, Bennett you want a Pokemon battle? Do you know who I bloody am? Has the promises of being Elite 4 gone to your head? I’ve got some bad news for you, Bennett. El letting you join the Elite 4? It’s faaaaake. It’s just a prank, bro. He only wanted to use you to get closer to Luna, moron. But whatever, he insists. So let’s destroy him shall we? DIE-IN-A-HOLE I swear to god, if you lose to him after letting him shit all over your dignity like that, then you’re officially a masochist. I don’t have a problem with that though. ; ) But for god’s sake, DON’T LOSE TO HIM. He doesn’t have Serra’s demon field to compliment him this time, but for some goddamn reason, this field boosts Signal Beam too. “Can you stop being cheap for once?” – Fern Power Gem is also boosted in this field, so I also decided to be cheap little shit and had my Mismagius sweep his entire team. Watch out for his Yanmega. If you let it freely stack Speed Boost, it can do quite a number on your team. His Butterfree is also quite the nuisance. If you let it Sleep Powder you, it’s gonna stack that Quiver Dance all the way to hell and back. So erm, don’t let it Sleep Powder you? Other than that, same strategies apply as the previous battle. Good rock/fire moves can sweep him no problem-o. If you can beat his mother, you can beat Bennett. Oh, congratulations, Sherlock. You solved the mystery at last. He promises that next time, he’ll be stronger. And he’ll make all of you regret ever doubting him. And he also decides to continue siding with El. Moron. Maybe next time, don’t bring an entire team that’s weak to rock, yea? Anyway, he leaves without you having the chance to finish him off. Whatever, we won’t see him for the rest of E15, so he’s dead to me now. Activate the crystal here. You’re gonna have to fight Luna now. Before the battle starts, I suggest putting a Pokemon with a decent Fighting move as your lead. Talk to her and she’ll give you a nice little speech about darkness. Cue battle. DARK DREAMER LUNA Boom. She leads with Bisharp. Go ahead and one-shot it with Karate Chop or Rock Smash or something. That’s one of her Pokemon down, easy. But she still has 5 more powerhouses. And they’re all nicknamed too, so you’re gonna have to guess which is which. Alternatively, refer to the spoiler. Lucky you have me, eh? I suggest bringing Fairy types, since Fighting types can get absolutely destroyed with her Moxie+Brave Bird Honchkrow. And the only Pokemon of hers that can effectively counter fairies just got ruthlessly one-shotted. Thank god, that Malamar doesn’t have Contrary, otherwise that Superpower will destroy you. Her damagers aren’t very threatening with the right team. What really is threatening though, are her bulky Pokemon. Sableye and her ace, Umbreon. Those things will slowly wear you down if you don’t have a way to deal more damage than Moonlight recovers. You might want to equip a berry that counters Burn, Confusion or Poison, depending on which you’re most afraid of. If you have a good Fairy-type with a strong Fairy move. This battle shouldn’t be too much of a problem. *cough* Gardevoir *cough* Azumarill *cough* A fighting type will also work against Umbreon due to its weaker Def. If you can beat Serra, you can beat Luna. And with that, Luna gives you the Eclipse Badge. It raises the cap to Lv70 and you’re given the TM for Dark Pulse, one of the better TMs in the game. Luna decides to continue to stay in the cave so that she’s safe from Bennett. She asks you to meet Cain at Agate City. Well, dear readers, guess we’re off once again.
  10. It's great, man! I love it ; ) ​I'm assuming you did the colors too? That's an amazing talent (considering you have a degree in it). A bunch of friends I know are great in drawing but has no idea how to color for shit so knowing how to do both must be really helpful. Nice watermark on Johanna btw. Really sneaky ; )
  11. Halfway to becoming a SWAG_JOCKEY™. I can almost feel it.

      "Swag Jockey Fern would like to battle!" is like one of the best thing Reborn's given us.

  12. The highest scoring 7-letter Scrabble word is "MUZJIKS". Add that to your compendium of unnecessary knowledge. That said, welcome to Reborn! Don't worry about your English, anybody who reads has amazing English. Especially if you read Lovecraft. Good taste. Hope you enjoy your stay ; )

  16. Good luck on your second run, you'll need it I can totally relate to losing a hard earned save file and not having the mood to replay the game. It happened to me loads of times. Notable examples include: Pokemon Reborn, Final Fantasy X and LEGO:Batman (yes.) That said, welcome back to the forums. You can sign out any time you like, but you can never leave. ; )
  17. Ah, finals. The perfect time to get invested in a game and bring dishonor to your entire family name. im looking at you Undertale. Nice profile picture btw, judging from it, you're gonna fit right in here. Don't worry about the guys calling this place a mental asylum. Their probably about 60% true. Probably. *insert obligatory welcome to forums here*
  18. Don't jinx it, friend. If another gym leader dies before I get my badge, I'll scream into my pillow.
