Part 80: Maze Race (TW: mice)
I go all the way from Freedom back to that mushroom maze...
On the way, we visit the Evegreen in the middle of the Amazon. I miss talking to the plants...
I accidentally enter a deserted area and pick up another life boost!
As well as more money near a gravestone...
We're back at that mushroom maze, and take on the challenge!
The prize is another Magirock, which we fail to get, since the mouse made it first!
Second round now, and we beat the mouse in 21 seconds!
Mouse: "We give you prize...shiny, shiny pretty. It our treasure." The Magirock is ours!
And just like that, the battery for my controller is out again!
I have Ark wander around the map for a little bit before putting up a save state and ending my very short session here.
And that's it for this week!
Next week, I'll take another break from posting since I've already caught up to where I am currently in my playthrough. Plus, I'll be busy in the following days so I might not get the chance to continue at that time. For anyone who's been following along with these playthroughs, thank you again, it means a lot!

Part 79: Visiting Old and New Places (2)
We get a ride!
But where is this gull going to take us?
Holy heck, we're going up north!
But he misses, then turns around, landing on the small spot of snowballs...
I noticed a small village south of our landing spot before the gull landed...
It's a village of penguins! Awww...
Unfortunately, we can't understand what they're saying anymore... :(
We leave and see a small cave northwest of the village and enter. The only thing in there is more money...I was expecting a Mimic to pop out!
I have Ark circle around Greenland and revisit Penginea...I have Ark crawl inside the first igloo we see and take the Magirock...
In one of the igloos we visit, I do an accidental crime by letting Ark eat a penguin's well-gotten fish! Eeee...The penguin's not happy...
Not much in this village, so we return to South America, and save at the inn all the way back at Freedom.

Part 79: Visiting Old and New Places (1)
We're back near the Sanctuary!
I visit the forest nearby, the open treasures are still there...
We cross the Guiana Range and notice a house...
Entering the house...we're back at the Quatro Camp again! I decide to give the dancer in one of the tents more back massages before leaving...
There's a bridge and a new settlement nearby...I'm guessing that's Liotto...
There's also a lone house west of the mountain range near the portal where we entered Earth...
We go further south to the reachable tip of South America, where we enter a small square of trees southwest.
It's a mushroom maze...
It seems we still can talk to animals in certain places. The little mouse asks us to race him, with the prize being a "nice thing." I have Ark say "zero interest" for now.
We also enter a small area (a stopover) north of the mushroom maze, where a gull is...
Well, that's a decision...
I take the first one.

Part 78: Fixing the Little Lie and Lumber Gathering (3)
We revisit the Gumin forest, and the Gumin has some new words for us...
We take four logs to the bridge builder...
It turns out I have to equip them, otherwise he won't see them.
Oh Ark...
We hand out all of the lumber we found...
It's not enough, however...
We get four more...
It's still not enough...
Oh boy...
We get eight this time!
Back to the river again! After the first log we bring the bridge builder...
So nine logs were needed to build the bridge...
We leave the river and go back again, a bridge completed, and get our reward...

Part 78: Fixing the Little Lie and Lumber Gathering (2)
We return to Nirlake, but then I realize from the guide that someone was making a bridge to the other side of the Colorado river. We leave to visit the river.
He mentions better wood in the Gumin forest near Nirlake...so that's why that forest is important...
I have Ark take care of the Gumin and grab their lumber. I almost thought there was no wood until I looked around. It seems the logs are under the Gumin's stump...
The bridge builder still says the same thing...
We go to the entrance of the lake cave again, and Servas is still at the bridge, waiting for his betrothed.
We visit Will's house, and as the guide said, there's someone behind the bookshelf!
It's Anita! Poor Anita...
She was looking for Will...
She then finds out Ark is Perel's friend, and asks if Perel's angry at her...
I have Ark move the bookshelf aside to see her.
Anita's still worried about Will. I think he's still in the lake cave, but Servas is blocking the way...
Now what to do next?

Part 78: Fixing the Little Lie and Lumber Gathering (1)
After reading a guide (and feeling guilty about lying to Bell), it turns out I have to tell Bell the truth. So I undid what I did with Bell again and tell him the truth this time.
I have Ark go to the bar to chase after him.
Bell's still speechless...
I go out and revisit the bar to talk to Bell.
Bell: "I'm sorry about this. It's okay now. I'll get over Amanda."
I knew it! It turns out in order for him to continue his invention, we really had to tell him the truth.
Bell: "I didn't think anyone would need something like it. But I will make it now. Even when you're apart, if you can talk, you can convey your feelings. If anyone can be saved that way, then my machine is meaningful." This is getting me a bit teary-eyed internally...
He gives us our real reward, which is at his house...
We take it!
Bell: "I feel much more inspired. I can make more amazing things!"

Part 77: Little Fixings and Little Lies (3) (TW: mention of alcohol)
I have Ark lie in order to keep Bell busy...
Unfortunately, Bell doesn't buy it.
Bell: "Are you hiding something?" I wish Ark was a better liar...
I decide to have Ark come clean to Bell with Amanda's new love.
His reaction is summed up as such:
Bell turns around and walks slowly away from Ark. He's beginning to realize the truth as it slowly dawns on him.
Bell: "...Thank you."
He decides to drown his sorrows in drink... :(
I decide to reset the game to this point, and have Ark lie twice this time, since I have a feeling if Bell gets demotivated to make his invention, this is probably going to affect the outcome of the game later.
Ark: "It's true, she said don't worry about her and focus on work."
Bell believes us! He rewards us 100 gems, and returns to finishing his invention.
I decide to stop my session here.

Part 77: Little Fixings and Little Lies (2)
I return to Kidsgart with the tin metal sheet, but nothing's changed.
I go to the purple haired inventor next door, who's still stuck fixing his invention.
We talk to him, and introduces himself.
Eddy, huh?
He's still trying to figure out why his electric test machine isn't working. He asks us to help him push the machine. We accept.
Ark pushes...nothing's happening.
Eddy: "Please! Push it with all your might!"
We continue....
...and the results turn explosive! Poor Ark...
Eddy has a Eureka moment!
Eddy: "I should use heat from motions for electricity! Thank you! You gave me a great hint on electricity! I'm going to get started on a research project right away!" That's what it took?
We go next door to tell Bell the news.
I'm now given a choice: to lie, or to tell the truth...oh boy...
Just in case, I make a save state at this point.

Part 77: Little Fixings and Little Lies (1)
Aside: I noticed while I was eating lunch that the Will here is or might be Wilbur Wright, of the Wright Brothers...
Into the cave we go!
I'll have to play for a short while since I'll need my rest...
There's someone guarding the bridge...
It's Servas, who's waiting for his fiancee Nana to return from Liotto to the lake...
Since he's blocking the bridge, we cant go any further...
I suddenly remember last session when I took a peek at a guide, telling me to pick up the metal near Will's diary. I do so.
This might be useful so we can cross through the bridge to the cave...
Unfortunately, even with the metal, we can't go any further...
I have Ark wander around in the forest to the northwest, and we end up in Gumin Forest...
I remember Molly telling us about this place...
We go forward, and a creepy-eyed leafless tree bark goes after us, fire and all!
Gumin: "Who's wrecking the forest?"
It turns out it's not fire, but an orange blob monster inside a tree stump...who splits into four pieces after Ark takes care of them once!
There's two of them!
We escape, finding nothing important there...
I swear, those Gumin surprised me!
