Mausoleums

The Mausoleums are stages that exist on all Inkwell Isles (except Inkwell Hell and Inkwell Isle Four).

During these stages, the player is tasked to protect an urn from the Spectre Syndicate by defeating them with parries. The stage fails if they reach it, though they are otherwise harmless. Each stage rewards a new, unique Super Art on completion.

Inkwell Isles 1, 2 and 3 have their own Mausoleums. Completed their respective stages leave them in ruins, but they can be replayed if L+R, LT+RT, ZL+ZR, L1 + R1, or Tab+Backspace are held for a bit while standing in front of them.

Mausoleum I

The Spectre Syndicate's Death Picture on the First Mausoleum

"Get lost! You hear me? This tomb is only for the eerie!"
—Spectre Syndicate, The first Mausoleum Death Screen

The first Mausoleum with two simple ghosts that are only different in appearance (one makes spooky gestures like Grim Matchstick and the other one has a spiteful look). Somewhere at the end of the stage, smaller, faster, elder ghosts starts to appear.

At the end of the level, the Legendary Chalice grants the Super Art of the Energy Beam which unleashes a devastating beam in any direction the player is facing when super meter is full.

Mausoleum II

The Spectre Syndicate's Second Death Screen, now including the girl ghost

"Yet another spooktacular performance from the Spectre Syndicate."
—Spectre Syndicate, The second Mausoleum Death Screen

The second Mausoleum has more elder ghosts and new female ghosts, which move in spiral-shaped path until they reach the urn.

At the end of the level, the Legendary Chalice grants the Super Art of Invincibility, which causes the player to cross the astral plane and become immune to damage and turning yellow, lasting until all super cards are gone.

Mausoleum III

The Spectre Syndicate's Third Death Screen, now with the Giant Ghost.

"Is success achievable? Not when we are this un-boo-lievable!"
—Spectre Syndicate, The third and final Mausoleum Death Screen

The third and last Mausoleum contains more female ghosts and new large ghosts. Parrying them will make them split into two smaller regular ghosts. This level may be challenging due to the amount of ghosts coming in at once. Because of that, it is recommended that you attempt this level with a partner.

At the end of the level, the Legendary Chalice grants a Super Art that allows the player to summon a muscular spirit that can cause damage to any enemies it comes in contact with, as well as be moved simultaneously with the playable character. When it disappears, it drops a parryable heart for an extra super card.

Trivia

• Unlike the majority of the stages, the music in the Mausoleum is played in a traditional spooky organ and theremin.
• The Specter Syndicate seem to be inspired by the ghosts from the PAC-man series (specifically PAC-Land).
• The large ghost is the only ghost to have actual eyes instead of empty sockets like the others.
• You can replay these levels by holding the controller's left and right triggers. (Unfortunately it can't be done on keyboard)
• In the v1.1.3 patch, the announcer now has unique lines for the Mausoleum along with the barbershop quartet or the announcer saying the losing line:
  • "Here comes a spooky bunch!"
  • "The ghouls are out tonight!"
  • "You failed!"
• The Astral Cookie cannot be used in Mausoleum stages, as it would create a major plothole of being able to play as Ms. Chalice despite her predicament. If Ms. Chalice is hacked into them through illegitimate means, she won't have any unique Super Art unlock animations.
