#Pier of the Unknown

[deb79ful]

Yesterday evening, my friends and I were back in Cassette Beasts, finishing up the last of the things that we hadn't yet finished in the game—namely, the Fossil Quarry questline, and the entirety of the Pier of the Unknown DLC. The short story told in the latter was more touching than we expected, and the three of us ended up spending a lot of time afterwards getting a bit philosophical with the characters and ideas presented to us. Afterwards, I knew I wanted to draw something related to the DLC, so I picked one of the beasts that I recorded and used during my trip to Brightside Pier, the Lightning-type Lapacitor! And I'd say I captured the energy of this battery-bunny-thing quite well. Here's hoping there's more content for this wonderful game in the future!

FINALLY beat the final boss in Pier of the Unknown and I want to say: I don't get the hate/mixed liking of the dlc? It's weakspot to me was Gwen suddenly going "I've learned the error of my ways and won't do this anymore" after you beat her. It feels out of left field and just an excuse for why you can come back to the dlc later to collect more beasts.

But that being said the rest of the dlc was really fun! Gwen herself was an interesting ~~frustrating but interesting~~ boss, I love her designs and the commitment to making her feel like a clown (I love how her title is The Ringmistress of Illusion). I think people have overblown how hard the platforming elements are. They're definitely difficult and different than the few platforming puzzles in the base game but they're by no means impossible. I'm genuinely bad at platformers and I was able to get through the quests.

And I LOVE the design of the quests and how unique they all feel and play. The fun house was probably my favorite, all the leaps of faith, the 3d puzzle elements hinting towards Gwen's angelic nature while also just being representative of a fun house's warped architecture. I adore the new beasts they added, especially minor/majortom and my husband might play this game purely to get Charlequin.

All around I thought the dlc was good! I haven't messed with the costume elements it added but they look cute in a vacuum.

Yeah I don't really get the hate, I would love to hear what any of ya'll who don't like the dlc think of it.

WARNING: Major spoilers for Cassette Beasts: Pier of the Unknown DLC

Here are my recordings of the Pier of the Unknown DLC quest ending, as well as the conversation with Gwen after the DLC quest is completed.

After you defeat all the three Infernal Engines, Gwen will reveal that not only the engines used to be human, but Gwen herself is an Archangel who used to be part of Aleph's inner circle. This leads to a boss battle against Archangel Gwenivar. The Pier of the Unknown quest ends after you defeat Gwenivar.

After you defeat Archangel Gwenivar in a boss battle and complete the Pier of the Unknown DLC quest, you can talk to Gwen again about herself, Archangels and Aleph.
