YouвЂ™ve got to feel for them, and their having Katsuya lampshade it was honestly the best compromise for once. Like hell we were going to replay the entire dungeon just because they hadnвЂ™t properly explained their puzzle! The word turned out to be вЂњPerseus,вЂќ and even Katsuya notes how weird that is, since it seems to have nothing to do with anything, and is probably just the localization teamвЂ™s way of converting a seven-kana puzzle into a seven-letter password, similar to the equally iffy Shinra Library puzzle in FFVII. Worse still, each of the lithographs has a name, and the final riddle demanded we know the names, even though we had never written them down! We just checked a walkthrough. The strange thing was that despite each of the lithographs insisting that the letters would have to be entered вЂњin sequence indicated by the Ursa Major,вЂќ presumably left to right or right to left, depending on which languageвЂ™s reading order you wanted to go withвЂ¦ the actual final word is an anagram, and you only learn the order from the final pillar where you enter the answer (although I suppose we could have checked that earlier).

Probably the only notable thing that happened to us here was that I was walking back towards town to heal at one point, only to step on a teleporter by accidentвЂ¦ where I discovered the gimmick was вЂњyou get the kotodama for free but the exit portal is lost.вЂќ And fuck you too, gods of coincidence!Д®ach room contained a lithograph that taught us a letter of the final kotodama, which would be a single word. The Ursa Major mini-dungeons were all designed in a different fashion, but in a weird, last-minute sort of way that gave them either half-baked ideas (a maze with teleporters! Yes! Two whole teleporters!) or just plain short (one of them literally just has you walk up some stairs and then out).

The statues tasked us to use a series of teleporters, arranged like the Big Dipper, where weвЂ™d learn a kotodama that would presumably unlock our way into the castle via an eighth teleporter already nearby. It turns out kotodama is just a kind of prayer, or possibly a mantra. There, two Wang Long statues literally spoke to us, finally giving us some insight into the term вЂњKotodamaвЂќ (youвЂ™ll remember that the game started acting like we already knew what this was basically at the gameвЂ™s 10% mark and never let up until right now at the 90% mark). We went to TatsusozouвЂ™s new home, Sumaru Castle, and discovered there was only a single room inside at ground level.
