BLUE GUARDIAN: Margaret - Part 9: The Malicious Lab of Torture (No Alert!)
67And now it’s time to see how General Blaine made his way through this water tower!
You'll have to make your way back through the Warehouse, the first room where those Lizard Men were encountered, then use the Wall Kick to reach a new area that Margaret couldn't reach before.
The following Secret Passage involves a lot of crawling and lifting gates. It is also here where you should find your final Missile Tank for a grand total of 50 Missiles!
You will continue through more of the Secret Passage, manage a different way through the Front Hall, and then eventually reach the Underground Channel, the same place that Margaret first heard Blaine's footsteps above her after she surfaced from a dive.
Go to the exact same dead end you may have seen before. It may look like nothing, but look very closely at the edge of the screen: It's a gear! Use the Hyper Shot to hit the gear and bring down a lift.
Take the lift upwards and head to the left, Margaret will then discover a brand new part of the tower...
----------
An Underground Laboratory?! There was one here this entire time? Surely this is how Blaine managed his crimes!
And indeed, Blaine was in fact working with robed men. Hordes of wizards! He instructed the wizards to guard the lab while he prepared to unleash the Ancient Weapons he found, he also installed some security cameras, as well (and these... "cameras" are none other than the monster eyes from Sacrifice Girl!).
Some of you remember Holdover, right? Where you had to make sure Marie wasn't seen by those deadly robot lasers? Get ready for a callback to that in this game, as Margaret CANNOT be seen by the wizards nor the mutant eyes! They all immune to her shots!
----------
I will describe, in detail, everything that happens if you do that, because I show none of it in this video (hint: It's very NSFW!)
If Margaret is seen by the wizards or the eyes, they'll sound an alarm that releases noxious gas in the lab. They're all immune to it, but poor Margaret isn't, and she faints from the fumes after struggling to breathe.
This leads into a VERY lewd cutscene that you can't control beyond just skipping the sequence. Margaret loses both of her guns and ALL of her clothes. So she's stripped completely naked and has her body strapped down into a water tank. From there, Blaine plans to water torture her a few times to get certain details out of her.
When Margaret claims that Blaine underestimates her as the Guardian of the Tower of the Water Deity, Blaine would have none of it, so he pulls her head underwater and lets her lose enough oxygen to knock her out. He didn't want to kill her then and there. So instead, he had the wizards send her unconscious body into a cell.
(You would choose to save afterwards if you wanted.)
Margaret would later on wake up, still naked and still without her guns. She would be VERY vulnerable to damage by that point, but you would have to make a long course to a Save Room in order for her to get some new clothes and guns, and then continue on through the lab to find Blaine (albeit with stricter security measures in place.)
Whether or not you would help Margaret regroup herself at this point, if she got caught and gassed a second time, the water torture sequence would start again. This time. Margaret's stripped naked and hung upside-down over the tank.
She would again believe that Blaine underestimated her, but Blaine would be completely done with the girl's mouth now...
So now, he would execute her, by dropping her into the water tank, and making sure she'd drown hard enough that she had no way of surviving this torture, again.
This second time is ultimately an extended Game Over sequence that finishes with artwork of Margaret's naked, drowned corpse still hanging in the tank, with wizards gathering in to prepare to throw her body away like trash.
I must say, holy crap! This is BY FAR the most brutal instance of a drowning out of ALL of Fox Eye's games, and trust me! That's REALLY saying a lot, here!
----------
Sorry that my playthrough doesn't show me going through all of that. However, the Save Room that I reached at the end of this video is the exact same one you would have to find if you did let Margaret get caught.
It doesn't matter if you want to play as her in all of her clothes, or have her completely nude. What's more important towards beating this game is making sure she's still armed! You literally cannot beat this game without her guns.
With all of that said, time to go through the endgame!

Alright, due to fan demand, I will show off the water torture cutscenes, but from a different channel from mine, and this one plays the Japanese version of the game.
This first link will have the first cutscene starting at 17:10 all the way through the rest of the video:

This link has the second cutscene, which truly kills Margaret for a Game Over. Watch it from 00:00 - 10:45:
