Description:
Karen continues to search the Driftworlds for her remaining Heart Fragments. Due to the progress she made in the previous game, she is able to travel as far as Amefuribashi High School, where more roguelite dungeons await. Unfortunately, a new foe appears and scatters Mika's Heart Fragments.

0:00 Recap
0:25 Rooftop Driftworld Core
The traps and enemies are intense, and I needed 4 equipment sets to survive.
6:36 Hollow
The puzzle is intended to be solved with Hayato's Summonstone, but Sho and Lycoris can cheese it.
We see a flashback of Lovelan uses dimensional magic to trap Yayoi and Hoop.
10:56 Rooftop Driftworld Core
The Desolation weather effect causes damage to those who run out the floor's MP. You can get around this partially by using thrown items to initiate combat.
13:49 Arc Monster: Lost Memoria and Spirit Memoria
She seems to be based on the protagonists of Alias Ache. Too bad that game probably won't ever be in English. She can deal psychic damage and she has a powerful charged attack, so Altered Form is really good here.
19:56 Rooftop Driftworld Core Final
Surprisingly, this doesn't lead to an action boss. Instead, Lovelan traps the party in a new space.
21:59 Boss: Rumi and Lovelan
24:17 Rumi's Club
After Rumi's club lost at the nationals, the advisor became abusive and obsessed with training, even to the detriment of the club members' health. Everyone except Rumi leaves, and the school is apparently okay with this crazy advisor. Even before this, Rumi wasn't treated well by the adults in her life.
28:19 Collapsing Dimension
Lovelan sneak attacks Karen and Tarte and leaves behind several Gangers to finish everyone off. One of the Gangers turns on the others and reveals that she's Mika. Turns out if a human loses their identity to a Ganger, they transform into a Ganger. Mika uses Karen's memories to take her human form.
You can scan the Gangers after they transform, but while this increases your scan count, they don't end up in the Monstropedia for some reason.
The dimension falls apart and Rumi busts a hole out. Mika's offensive stat growth isn't high enough for this.
36:59 Center St. District: South Washbridge
This place has a warp gate and the entrance to the actual final dungeon. Mika and Rumi have to sit out the final battle, since they are vulnerable to Prim's control. Plus, Mika can still defeat Gangers in town now that she is one herself. She leaves us with her Summonstone, which hopefully isn't affected by Prim's power.
40:15 Rumi's Statue?
Although Rumi's Heart Fragment was returned to her statue, that one member of the Brass Band Club still thinks she died in a plane crash. Is this an oversight or is it because Prim still has some kind of hold over her?
40:34 Mika Skill Tree
She has a lot of passives for farming DP. I guess if you've made it this far without grinding DP, it could be useful for last minute catchup, but if you've already farmed a lot of DP, those passives aren't as useful. Maybe if Astrake and Iris get added to the postgame, Mika's DP farming passives could be useful.
43:39 Library
Turns out Hoop learns elements that Tarte never learns. I wish Tarte actually got additional elements in this game. It feels like he got shafted compared to everyone else in terms of powerups.
44:09 Monstropedia
45:03 Re: Dear My Avenger / Crimson Corridor Altered
48:49 Crimson Corridor Altered 10F
56:30 Crimson Corridor Altered 20F: Mika Memoria
This is essentially a weaker version of the previous game's superboss, but Overdrive allows you to quickly decimate her barrier and finish her off.
1:04:23 Mika's Final Skill
This one can OHKO, but only if the enemy is level 4. Maybe I have to use level potions on them?
