− | 呼べなくなった is probably the most grammatically complex phrase in the game. 呼ぶ means "call". 呼べる is the potential form, meaning "can call". The negative of that is 呼べない, "cannot call".

The negative of that is 呼べない, "cannot call". I-adjectives, including verbs ending in ない, change the い to く when used with なる, hence, if we add なる, we get 呼べなくなる, "become unable to call". Conjugate the なる in the past tense and we have 呼べなくなった, "became unable to call". Whew! |
