After running around the dungeon, noting how well they're cultivating plants and food here, and making heavy use of Ludger's Corpse Shell in battle because it's fun, we arrive at the upper part of the dome where Aska is contained. Ludger shoots out the devices keeping it imprisoned, but Giland, having woke up and followed us, has started shooting at us from behind with a sawed off sword shotgun. Before we can really do anything about him, Aska breaks out and is all kinds of pissed, understandably. So boss battle /o/

Ugh, flying enemies in the game whyyyyy At least I have Elize to spam Dark Artes at it.
