Luminescence (Mysterious Manor)

"Masked servants welcome all to a darkened abode, yet permit none to leave. In place of fear, there is only the foreboding pounding in a hero's heart."-flavor text

Intro

The Mysterious Manor is one of Gunvolt's exclusive stages in Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, codenamed "Luminescence".

This manor is the nexus for a series of suspicious disappearances. Normally, this wouldn't be too much of an issue, but one of the victims was a classmate of Quinn's.

Ever willing to help, GV decides to look into it, only to find something a bit...bloody.

Briefing

Quinn: You've heard about the folks who went missing, right, GV? Well, it turns out an old friend of mine is also missing. They might not be connected, but it's a friend, so...

Gunvolt: No worries, Quinn. I'll look into it.

Stage Composition

• The manor is lined with windows that can be smashed with the Flashfield. The purple ones can contain money, health, or even medals. Be careful, they can even hide Zombie Shamblers.
• Early in the 1st phase, you will encounter your first Zombie Shambler. They don't move too quick, and can only swipe at you to attack. But give them a shock, and then...
• There are Iron Maidens littering the stage after the gauntlet room. The open ones can spring from the background to try and shut you inside, bypassing Prevasion and Overheating you. The closed ones with faces will shake and rumble, releasing a Zombie Shambler when you get close.
• The second area contains pools of blood on the floor or ceiling. Passing them generates a spear or axe to try and damage you. Flashfield can dissipate the blood pools.
• Past the Hexapyle to Gibril's arena is a secret area literally littered with Iron Maidens. It also contains the last few medals and a secret skill for Gunvolt.
