Question about Kain

[Zeromus_X]

I'm pretty sure it was Kain's own inner jealousy and insecurities that allowed him to be controlled, if all Lunarian mind control is like Zemus'.

Then again, the plot isn't terribly complex enough to warrant thinking about it too much anyway.

To answer what happens in Cain's Lunar Trial, this is a summary of what happens:

(SPOILER)
Cain enters his Lunar Trial, alone, telling the others to wait behind. When he enters, he wakes up in what seems to be Baron, and apparently a murder has taken place. Cain becomes the only subject, because of a mysterious 'Bloody Lance' found at the crime scene. After awhile, the Bloody Lance eventually 'follows' around Cain (as objects that are usually cursed and aren't wanted anymore are prone to do) and he is suspected even further. Cain does however, prove himself innocent by saving Rosa from the real culprit, but Rosa is only overjoyed to see Cecil again. No action for Cain tonight.

However, a mysterious figure wakes up Cain in the middle of the night the day afterwards. Cain follows the figure to the Devil's Road chamber, which now looks like the crystal altar on Mount Ordeals. Cain then sees Rosa and Cecil, and the mysterious figure. The figure calls out to Cain, urging him to kill Cecil with the Bloody Lance and prove he's the better man. You then have the option of taking up the Bloody Lance and fighting Cecil, but I always choose 'no' and don't really know what happens if you do decide to hurt Cecil. You'll then fight a dark version of Cain, the mysterious figure. After hurting it, it transforms into Lunar Bahamut, Cain's Lunar Summon for his trial.

You get to fight it alone. You never want to mess with the Lunar version of a guy who has a ho for a wife. It does the regular Mega Flare like normal Bahamut. Use Reflect with Lunar Curtains or input the Jump Command when the countdown gets to '2' to come down after Mega Flare. Put Kain in the back row to bounce off Lunar Bahamut's counterattacks, with Dragon gear it should only do about 200 damage, not very much.

After winning, Cain recieves the 'Dragoon Gloves', which turn his Jump command to 'Dbl. Jump' (Double Jump). This, duh, allows him to Jump twice, increasing Jump's power. Basically it always does 9,999. You'll also get the Abel's Lance (hee hee, allusions) which sometimes casts Weak on the target. Good for killing Brachioraidos.

Anyway, all is forgiven in this illusion of Baron, and Cain overcomes his inner darkness and jealousy, etc. Now go beat up that Easytype Zeromus.

Edit: Holy smurf. Kishi got a new set.

The figure calls out to Cain, urging him to kill Cecil with the Bloody Lance and prove he's the better man. You then have the option of taking up the Bloody Lance and fighting Cecil, but I always choose 'no' and don't really know what happens if you do decide to hurt Cecil.

Opting to harm Cecil results in failure of the trial.

New set, old thread. Too old.
