I am not writing this blog as a game walkthrough but more like an in depth game review mainly on how I feel about the game I play. So I might skip some parts or jump ahead of some boring parts so please bear with me. But feel free to email me anything you would like to find out, I will try to help as much as I can.
So now more on chapter 8 first I would like to talk about the puzzle box in Sakuya’s room. I had a hard time with that puzzle. Imagine after a long day after work I want to just put some unholy spirits to rest with my trusty camera obscura but I am faced with this… So I decided to go youtube to find some kind of guide. But to think that the puzzle is random and it automatically shuffles after you exit and come back again… The puzzle is a picture 4 x 4 with 15 moving parts and only one space to play around. I gave up after 5 to 6 tries.
I took the image from youtube cos I haven’t found a way to screen shot the game.
The next day after work, I got home early and finally managed to get the puzzle box open, when I try to leave, a cool cut scene play and I find myself on the rooftop with a ghost getting ready to commit suicide. After the ghost fall to her “death” (like she can die a second time), I found the 囁 lens somewhere on the roof between two benches. An interesting equip function to have. Now a sound will be heard each time I get near to a Hōzuki Dolls *sweet*.
You will see this after you take a picture of the Hōzuki Dolls... nice but i feel not scary enuff and the child's laughter is not eerie at all...
Talking abt the doll hunting sidequest, it is really fun but a little irritating to do if you miss some of these dolls you can never get it again. Like for me I missed the 1st doll in the game during the prologue part and I cannot go back and get it already by the time I realised I need to collect all 79 dolls to unlock some stuff. Photographing all the dolls enables you to unlock costumes and lenses. There are a total of 79 dolls spread out through different locations. I quote the rewards from zerowiki as stated on the site, Rewards for the dolls is as follows, Ruka's Costume 3 (20 dolls) , Misaki's Costume 3 (40 dolls), Unknown Lens (60 dolls), Unknown Lens & Character Gallery (79 dolls).
Ok back to the game... from here on it is basically idiot-proof I just made your way back to the 1st floor, picked up any stuff along the way and explored all the rooms that are not locked. And to make the game even easier, I just had to follow the ghost whenever she appear...
This is who you should be looking out for just follow where she goes... anyway a bit of spoiler, she is actually Sakuya in disguise. trying to lead you back to the ritual chamber and to reawaken Misaki's lost memories.
Anyway along the way I was be attacked by a ghost in one the the rooms. She is not that hard, i took her out with a few type-07 fatal frames (use the chance to stock up on your blue orbs). After I blast the ghost to oblivion, she will left behind a 零 len I picked up under the bed after I defeated her (srsly, why would a ghost be holding on to a power-up lens). Alrite, so along the way some low-level spirit (They look like the angry mob from Fatal frame II: Crimson butterfly. I wonder why these spirits from the FF series all so grouchy and angry. ) also tried to harass me. I just fed them with some type-07 and they decided to stay dead (try to store your blue orbs whenever you have chance to fight the ghost).
I just kept following the girl in black until I reach a big gate. Ready myself for a boss fight and I opened the gate. Again anor nice cut-scene and than BOSS FIGHT: Sakuya. With the blue orbs i stored, I immediately blasted her with a fatal frame 零 shot, combo with 02 type-61 shots and it is good-bye Sakuya. 3 hit combo and she's dead too easy for a boss fight. I hardly broke a sweat. Following a sad cut-scene, I bid farewell to Misaki and assured her that i will see her again in nightmare mode. Saved my game and time for me to get my beauty sleep... have to go to work the next day. More on chapter 9 next...
To be continued…
