Truegold Tower's second chain is as straightforward as the first. There are some more servant beasts in the way and a platforming puzzle to solve, but otherwise it's a very quick thing to take out the second chain. Probably because it's meant to be the first one you go for. After all, you reach it by going through the otherwise unused half of the first real room. Ah well.
But it looks like that's the end of Truegold's handouts. Especially since the monsters that show up aren't just random but also appear to be time-sensitive.
My first venture into the tower took place at night. So the monsters were predominantly sword-wielding servant beasts. During my second visit, a day-time visit, one of the armoured and spear-handed servant beasts showed up. Though the military scythe made short work of it.
And that was it for the tower in tonight's session. The other fifteen minutes of thirty were spent exploring Elena's life at the Observatory. Though, only incidentally, since I really just wanted to see if Aeron gets any more dreams at this point in the game. Maybe four hour blocks of sleep aren't enough to trigger his REM sleep, but they are enough to observe Elena's various activities.
At 7pm she's found sowing. At 11pm she's standing by her bed. At 3am she's willing to chat. At 7am she's whipping up breakfast. Apparently a breakfast of...well...maybe thoroughly mixed bibimbap?
It's a big bowl of something that looks like a cross between spaghetti sauce and shredded wheat, at any rate. What's stranger is that her cooking is apparently improving as the game progresses. There's no benefit to you as a player because of this, it just is.
Now that might sound like a pointless element to include in a game. But it's neat to see that the people at Ganbarion put such detail (going so far as to give Elena a whole routine!) into the Observatory side of the game. Though that is a side that, except for when the towers are quickly worked through, is likely to be overlooked.
