"The goddess in the tower foretells disaster. But the warrior's faith in his God tells him to defy a fate set by monsters." - Flavor Text
Intro
Babel (known as Heaven's Inverted Spear in Japan) is one of Copen's stages in Azure Striker Gunvolt 2.
It is Sumeragi's space elevator, besieged and hijacked by Eden. Their goal is the orbital station at the top, which contains Sumeragi's data on Project Muse.
As the leader is carrying a mirror shard with them, it only reinforces Copen's motivation to storm the tower himself.
Briefing
Raveled
Nori: A group from Eden has stormed Sumeragi's orbital elevator. They're being led by an Adapt* with a mirror shard. Copen: Then we need to get there right away. The orbital elevator... Fools rush in where angels fear to tread, it seems. *Typo in the original text
Ultimatum 2 (GV)
Mytyl: Welcome to the Secret Mission! Okay, so I kinda need to apologize in advance, but... I can't use The Muse's song to bring you back here.
Stage composition
- This stage is mainly a vertical climb to the top where the leader awaits.
- The interior of the tower is filled with giant pillars of hair criss crossing the walls. They act as platforms, but also as perches for enemies.
- The second segment of the tower will take you outside the tower. Beware of strong winds that push you about.
- The glass mirror tiles shatter about 2 seconds after you step on them. Stay light on your feet.
