Part 9 of a 1080p HD-quality remake of my first playthrough: Aquaria. The outstanding beauty and soundtrack of this game was just not given proper showcasing in my first playthrough. I intend to follow the same path (more or less) in this playthrough - get all treasures, costumes, pets, etc.
This video contains:
+ Remember that giant anemone in the Song Cave, way back in the beginning? Get into Nature Form, swim up into it, and fight the current to find yourself with your eighteenth treasure, the Anemone Seed.
+ Inside the Energy Temple, squeeze into the first Fish Tunnel you see, and follow it to find your nineteenth treasure, the Energy Idol.
+ Taking on our next miniboss, Blaster Peg Prime, to get our final pet - our very own Blaster Peg. ^^
+ Taking a brief detour to show off an odd cavern...hm, a stone slab depicting a whale, and beneath it, a series of notes...we'll have to remember it for later.
+ Taking on yet another miniboss, Crabbius Maximus. Taking him down grants another Steam Achievement ("Rock Crab Rocked: Defeat the Rock Crab."). He also drops the Crab Armor outfit for us.
+ Exploring the depths of the Arnassi Ruins to pick up our twentieth treasure, the Arnassi Statue.
+ Discovering a pair of sea-turtles which are not a part of the normal fast-travel system. Instead, they link only back-and-forth between one another. This leads to/from the Simon Says "miniboss."
+ Taking on the hardest boss in the game (next to the Sun God) - Simon. Your first win against (him? Her? It?) grants you a Cooking Dish - allowing you access to three cooking slots no matter where you are. This means you won't have to trek back to any kitchens to do any advanced cooking!
