Mhmm, I don't recall that boss being that long. I had around 200 mag power and I remember I defeated the boss pretty quickly (boss has 500000 HP and I did around 20000 damage every turn). You might be confusing with another boss. I think the hardest boss was the Holy Palace one. I remember having to heal almost every turn. The fake Unicorn enemy called Uniporn is also extremly hard. It only has 9 HP but everything did like between 20 and 40 damage against him and the enemy almost killed you in one hit with AURA LV9 if you didn't have elemental protection. In other words, it was almost some sort of suddent-death battle

I'll let DJ answer that.  He made it, so he would know.
And that's a great post to necro on.  You had a question and this is the best spot for it.
Welcome to Omnimaga!

@DJ: I find myself watching the opening sequence over and over again.  It always brings a smile to my face, mostly because it looks so great.

Okay, that's bigger smile!  With comments like that, it gives me hope that DJ Omnimaga will finish it.  The end may be near.

Have you tried some of the previous Illusiat games? They can be found here in this directory: http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=downloads;cat=29

Hi insorak and welcome here

Unfortunately I haven't played Illusiat 12 in a while so I don't exactly remember what is "Zone 9" (unless you mean chapter 9?), but yeah that game was really hard. Lot of grinding to do, especially early in the game and during the last chapter (where I started the final dungeon at LV 115 and finished at LV 220).

I recall chapter 9 was super hard too, due to being hard to find your way among rocks and if I remember, there was a glitch in the upper part where if you exited somewhere it wasn't supposed to, you would end up stuck into a wall outside or vice-versa, but I might be wrong.

Illusiat 13, despite occuring a million of years after the other games, has lot of stuff from Illusiat 4 remake (included in Illusiat 2004, in French) and Illusiat 12, like a dungeon close to the 2nd village after the huge desert, which is optional. Illusiat 4 is actually the game that occurs on Earth, but I lost the original version in 2002 (along with the 3 first games, which were very easy to recreate from memory, unlike the 4th one) and the only avaliable version is the remake included in Illusiat 2004, which, as I said, is only in french right now.

Most Illusiat 13 area that were present in Illusiat 4 and 12 looks very similar, except the entire floor is usually blank, due to the new engine limitations, and some parts might look more complex in general.

As for the bosses, most were from the 12 previous games and the ones that were present in Illusiat 3 through 12 have connections with each others


Now about the Fourth dimension area: This area is some sort of illusion area or dream-ish area (altough it's not a dream). If you played Quest 64 or Final Fantasy VI you might have encountered some similar areas. Some doors will loop you back to the beginning, others will lead you to a place that makes no sense, others will lead you at a totally different type of area and there's no logical pattern to follow. In one case, you'll go through a door, and if you go back, you'll end up in a different area. It's pretty much trial and error and when you are in a Village, don't go through the door at the bottom-left area because there's a bug that'll cause you to get stuck into a wall there.

Ah - I got it, and now I'm inside the supposedly unfinished alien ship now. I was going in one direction for 40 or 50 rooms, and I was wondering why it was the same thing over and over again. Silly me, never tried looking backwards

Thanks DJ! If you decide to finish it, I (and lots of people) will be eagerly waiting behind you.

So Zebuth was actually Astar's father, lol. In Illusiat 12 there was Zebuth's grave with a note on it, and in the same place in 13 there's a staircase down into some dungeon.

BTW, I stopped playing the first time because I ran into the bug in the screenshot in post 12.
It's back on my calc, and I've been playing it again, though.  I want to beat the game!

lol ok

Great! Will my saved progress still work with the new version?
