Bravely Default Archive @bravely-default-archive - Tumblr Blog

Welcome to the Bravely Default Archive.

This archive is intended to keep and preserve Bravely Default assets, gameplay features and mechanics, story content such as dialogue, and lore content.

A small warning to anyone here: This blog may contain offensive imagery or text, however, it will be tagged properly, with "possibly offensive imagery" and "possibly offensive text" respectively.

I will add a readmore for length, but underneath is mod information, notices, and the tagging system.

In light of Tumblr rolling out A.I scraping, we will eventually migrate this blog to Cohost.

While you are able to opt out, Tumblr has been getting steadily worse, and if it continues to do so, we will delete this blog as well. For now, follow us on Cohost @/bravely-default-archive .

Beastiary #90, Plant #5

"Fungus"

"This ghastly monstrous mushroom is purplish red. When hit with a physical attack, it uses Chaos Spore to release confusion-causing spores."

[Image I.D: A single stemmed fungus. The stem is a dark orange red, and fades to a dark brown of the same hue at the bottom, where it is supported by three root legs. The gills are small filaments tipped in brown, and the cap is the same orange fading to purple at the top with spots of very dark purple. End I.D.]

Beastiary #89, Plant #4

"Myconid"

"This monstrous mushroom prefers dark, dark places, such as the forest floor. Be careful when striking it, for its Spore attack may cause another myconid to grow."

[Image I.D: A single stemmed fungus. The stem is a pale off-white, and fades to a dark, desaturated blue at the bottom, where it is supported by three root legs. The gills are small filaments tipped in red, and the cap is the same dark blue with spots of the same red. End I.D.]

The new images are from @/bs-el! They have kindly offered to help with getting the images we need!

Currently fixing a few errors before moving on + posting new enemies.

#Errors in the tagging system. Number system. And a few I.D errors #Don't know how the tags glitched out that bad but they did!

There's a small issue I haven't figured out how to solve yet. For the Beastiary entries, some of the enemies are later-loop exclusives. The Wiki does not state when they appear (For example, the Rafflesia replaces the Alraune in Florem), which is problematic, as I do not want to begin a 500+ hour completionist playthrough. If anyone has suggestions or is willing to offer assistance, that would be wonderful.

Beastiary #88, Plant #3

"Rafflesia"

"A deadly carnivorous plant that emits a sweet scent from its red flower. It uses Parasitism to copy the HP, MP, and BP of its foe."

[Image I.D: A yellow green vegetable like root, with its body splitting into two legs. It has three black dots on its body as two eyes and a mouth. Its leaves are red petals with spots, and its head is topped with a red flower that has white spots, similar to the corpse flower. End I.D]

"Mandragora"

"The dreaded monstrous form of the common Eternian radish. They attack en masse, using Poisonous Pollen to damage and poison their foes."

[Image I.D: A small vegetable like root, with its main root body splitting into two legs. It has two spiky, dark green leaves as arms, three dots on its main body as two eyes and a mouth, and on its head, four spiky green leaves topped with a pale white-purple flower. End I.D]

"Alraune"

"A strange, anthropomorphic flower that walks on roots. Its <Paralyzing Pollen> attack renders victims immobile. This is quite dangerous if they attack en masse."

[Image I.D: A small vegetable-like brown root, with the main body splitting into two legs. It has two dark yellow-green leaves to the side as arms, three black dots on its body as eyes and a mouth, and on its head are four dark yellow-green leaves, topped with a bright yellow flower. End I.D]

Apologies for the radio silence, we've placed a personal limitation on ourselves to only archive on the weekends.

Enigmatic writings, 6/16

"How many days have passed since I left his side?

A pillar of light has stood above the southern sea for some time now, just as he predicted."

[Image I.D: A black and white pencil sketch. Braev Lee, a grizzled templar with heavy armor and a beard, has a hand on Alternis Dim's shoulder. Braev Lee is significantly taller than Alternis. End I.D]

"That leaves little room to doubt his second prediction will hold true.

Within the coming days, the vestal and her friends will come here.

I only pray I have the strength to stop them as I was asked to..."

[Image I.D: A black and white pencil sketch. Edea, Tiz, and Agnes stand together. Edea is holding out a katana to the left, Tiz is crouched in the center with a sword and shield, and Agnes is standing to the right, looking into the distance, and holding a rod. End I.D]

"Thinking back, the vestal's followers have been with her since the start. Ever since Caldisla.

Agnes Oblige, vestal to the Wind Crystal...

I never imagined the young girl I met on that pier would bear such a fate."

"And Tiz Arrior.

For the boy I pulled from that canyon river to become a guard and ally to the vestal on her journey...

It seems on so many counts, I bear the fault for all of this."

"A long, harsh journey to erase the Great Chasm.

A vestal who crossed the putrid sea and stagnant air to arrive.

A boy whose home was swallowed.

In retrospect, they seem a natural pair. Inevitable, even."

"And Edea... I expect you, too, will join the vestal here.

You were ever a tomboy. Capricious. Pure and stubborn. Quick to tears... perfect.

I know not what it is you see in the vestal. What spark resonated within you. But I swear this now, I will keep you safe. At any cost."

"I always longed for a family...

[Image I.D: A black and white pencil sketch. A younger Braev Lee, Mahzer Lee, and Edea Lee. Braev is to the left, Mahzer is to the right, and Edea is being slightly lifted off the ground by her parents. They all look happy. End I.D.]

I will not see it destroyed!"

"The ship's siren has begun to sound, and the pilot's taking her up, just as planned.

The time is come, then. This may be the last entry I am able to write.

I'm removing Edea's picture from its frame and placing it within these pages. I want her by my side..."

[Image I.D: A black and white pencil sketch. The figure depicted is primarily a silhouette. Wings, arms, the shape of hair, and a skull perched on the head can be made out. End I.D]

[Image I.D: A blurred symbol. What appears to be a 3 with an enlarged "head" and a 6 inside. There are splatters behind it, either ink or blood. End I.D]

Enigmatic writings, 4/24

"??/?? I'm alive... somehow.

When I woke, my body refused to respond. I think I was lying down. My eyelids felt as though they were glued shut.

A familiar voice grated in my ear..."

""Of course he'll recover. Just whom do you think you are addressing, mm? If I've orders to fix him, I'll see he's fixed... as much as I may enjoy his current state. He'll live, though I'll be sure he suffers for having humiliated me. Hyah heh heh..."

The days that followed were hell."

"His breath reeked as he spoke.

"Aww, does it hurt? Hyah hyah hyah... I just gave you the most painful drug I know. And here you can't move a muscle to stop me. Such a shame, isn't it? Ahh hyah hyah hyah!"

Some day I will carve this pig apart, so help me..."

"I awoke to familiar engine noise and the smell of oil, but sleep soon found me once more.

When I next woke, I was floating in some kind of liquid. I could feel it bitter in my mouth, stinging my nose and filling my lungs. I thought I was drowning and tried to struggle, but my body still refused to obey. I quickly slipped back into darkness."

"A cold, unpleasant voice woke me.

"A nasty bit of work, this... Torture, under the guise of treatment. It was wise to transport him here when we did. A few days more, and, well... Heh. Worry not, I'll have him back good as he was. You have my guarantee.""

"The voice next turned to me.

"And how are we feeling?"

My eyes opened, stung by the light and medicated fluid.

"Today is the twenty-fourth. You've been out a month and a week, but worry not. None of your correspondence seems especially pressing. ...See?""

"He held a slip of paper up to the tank. "Bring the orphan to the inn of origin," it read.

"What does it mean?" he asked. "Is it code? I can't make sense of it."

It made little sense to me, too, but I felt relief at knowing the boy was alright."

""That wasn't your only inscrutable message."

I drifted in and out as he reads more, catching only snippets. "Earth Crystal... Grandship... Engine room...""

"Some days (weeks?) later, the liquid was drained from the tank, and I was left to stave off gravity with atrophied legs.

"Buck up. You'll be back to your old self given a week. I made well sure of that."

With that final dismissive comment, he turned and left."

"I was moved to a civilian hospital to recover.

I trained back up to full stamina in six days, mostly out of spite.

No trace remained of the burns I assume covered my body, and he'd reversed the effects of whatever that pig had injected me with while he was at it. It galls me to say, but the man does good work."
