In-Depth Information
Once the player defeats Neo Gemini, he/she can advance to the crystal forming the barrier blocking the path
deeper into the castle. The crystal event will have three pages, as we want to cover the following:
•
On Page 1, we want to tell the player that the crystal is emanating some sort of power and
should be destroyed. If the player tries to destroy it, he/she is attacked by a stronger version of
the game's second boss. A self-switch is flipped, and page 2 becomes active.
•
If the player defeats the stronger Demon, he/she can interact with the crystal again and
destroy it for real.
•
Once the crystal is destroyed, the player receives a similar message about “shards being all
that remain of the crystal.”

Before I show the second page of the crystal event, take a look at Figure
13-16
, to see a screenshot of the Demon
Lord, a stronger version of the Demon the player had to face back at the Dark Spire.
