Trivia[]
- All three phases have the Plot Hole attack, but it gets more dangerous as the player enters the next phase. At first, the Plot Hole stuns Lex. Stun lasts one turn and can be resisted with a treasure, the Just Right Porridge. Then, the Plot Hole freezes Lex. It also lasts one turn, but cannot be resisted with a treasure. After that, it petrifies Lex. This is the most annoying and dangerous, because it lasts TWO turns and cannot be resisted with a treasure.
- After Phase Three is defeated, it explodes, then when the smoke clears, Phase Three can still be seen for a while, then disappears.
- When changing phases, the machine will get more damaged but also get more stronger, more agressive attacks and getting the Weak Defense Grid and later the greater Defense Grid.
- Sometimes a machine turns weak to damage Lex.
- This only happens to Phase Three if you spelt short words like 5-7 letters.
