Finish up the map and head back to the bar. Also talk about eggs. Hard over isn't there, so I go with that. She's bad at making them, but promises to try her best! The bar has visits from Dulcet-voiced caster and Leggy Dark Hunter from EOU1. One quest had already opened up, but three more showed up sometime durng 26F. One of them is a very high priority - to fight the Storm Emperor again. This time, for real. I go for it first because that raises the level cap! Immediately after accepting the quest, the big bad sky snake, aka Storm Emperor, aka Klanvaline. attacks the town. I go and meet Canaan on 20F. He gives me a book which leads to an area I know existed from FOEs wandering around on the outside, but haven't been - the outside area of 19F.
Two new enemies here. And oddly, part of this place seemed to be unable to be reached. You can see them both here. Scissors Crab never got to do anything because I always feared it (conditional) or panicked it, and neither did Lightning Drake because I head bound it (Poison is conditional). The former's conditional is just a strong light armor, the latter is the Gunner's second ultimate armor.
Later on, I get ambushed by two crabs and one Lightning Drake, which is where things get terrifying. Reaping Claws hurts like the fist of god, and a lot of characters get wiped out due to Ichigo's Hit-Taker running out. I do beat this group through smart play and a bit of luck with Suicide Wording the right one. It's one instance where Conflict Word would've been nice - since it could stun both at the same time.
The resident FOE is a model swap.

My initial fight of it was screwy due to its resistances towards physical elements, but I got it done. After this, I went and got Panic resistance food and an elemental setup for Azura, which made these as routine as anything else. Except in how there was a bonus in how they buffed my attack as well.
Their conditional is the Blind Eye. Obvious, and makes the Hexer's ultimate armor.
---
Another bonus I intend put to use, by the way. All three can apparently show up on this floor. Maybe soon. This soon led up to the big baddie himself. Of course, I beat this thing back in 24F, so opening the spoiler isn't going to be very interesting.
If I really wanted to, I could've just gone hog-wild and one-shot the dragon. Instead I showed a bit of restraint as so I could get the Conditional the proper way with Burst Shot. Did forget to use Ingredients+ food to increase its yield, but I don't expect to be using that regularly and already have quite a few from doing that the first time.
There's a crazy cutscene at the end, too. Madness! Adorable scenes of bravery! Azura being a badass! Killstealing headshots! Ultimate weapons! More adorableness! And proclamations.
I next take on the Call of the Wyvern quest, to avenge Guild Esbat's earlier loss. They promise 70000en and the earlier gun for helping Artelinde earlier. The only quest - which makes this a REAL quest - is having to kill the thing that took it from the Gunner from her previous guild, who rampaged through the Labyrinth and went solo kamikaze on the Wyvern.
I get not one, but two pieces of ultimate equipment from this, and that's before counting the conditional: first, I'm bestowed the Yggdrasil Staff, a very strong weapon that also gives +50 to HP and TP. And the quest itself is for the Agnea (well, money, but it's how to find it), the strongest gun when it comes to raw power, although only by a few points and with no special abilities. Very cool, though!

I just step on it and move on. It uses Burning Ray as its first move, a Volt-elemental attack that Ichigo gobbles up.
As before, I show a bit of restraint as so to get its conditional - the Paralyzed Wing.
- Turn 1: Limitless/Hit-Taker/Frailty Curse/Warrior Song/Chained Benefit
- Turn 2: Ecstasy (FB)/Fire Prelude/Swap Step (Devaki)/Point Blank/Stigmata (FB)
- Turn 3: Limitless/Hit-Taker/Link Order/Burst Shot/Absorb
- Turn 4: Ecstasy/Hit-Taker/Swap Step (Devaki)/Defend/Paralysis Arrow
Dead.

The normal drop of it lets you make some Katana, the conditional lets you make the Wyvern Spear (one of the strongest of the class) and Kerykeion - a staff weaker than Yggdrasil Staff, 175 ATK to 207, and with no HP bonus, but the TP bonus is a startling 200. Still, I have to leave if anyone runs out of TP, so not sure if it's good for Kei.
Next quest is boring: effectuvely get two materials, go to 16F, and get the axe of a Landshark from a famous guild (but not as famous as us!) sharpened. The birdman is bored by it, but does see the sword taken from unsealing the Forbidden Wood...but makes me wait.
Lastly, I need to go through the hidden area of Stratum 3. It too, has an enemy like this which could be neutered by Head Bind. It also has a conditional, although it's harder to achieve - it needs to be panicked, which usually requires a buff. And, on a failure, it's a bit more dangerous due to its skill inflicting Sleep, meaning if it inflicted Ichigo mid-attack, the others would feel it. Instances like this were also scary, since the shiny one could remove the protection anyway. Did have Ice Wall on Varda, but slipped my mind to use it/it was never necessary. There's also a long ice puzzle that was annoying to map out.
There's also some ghost here which is only mentioned here.
At the very end of it, I get a warning, and I'm fresh out of juice. Had to go back...only to find there was nothing there anyway. Quona does like the flower I get from the grave though. I give her it, and when she sees the pin she gave us is all wilted, promises to make us another one. Without help. Well, this won't end well.
Also break my sales PB. Now for 27F proper...
Two new enemies are here. Mr. Bloody Lizard is uninteresting except for a skill - Affection Collar is just like Power Gel - it buffs AGI directly on the target in addition to healing them. Hoping I get get some good high-leveled ones from them. I could make the Beast's ultimate Collar by beating them when they were poisoned. Lord Sanguano or whatever is an Attack Cactus palette swap. Arm Bind was nice on these things, and Kei could almost one-shot one with Vital Hit if I wanted. They had a conditional from beating them when panicked.
They're very generous on experience here, too. Hit Lv76 by the end.
Also came close to 1v1ing Chicken Kenshiro, but that's ofc not good enough. Otherwise in 27F....
Yeah. Should speak for itself. I spent my first trip in cleaning out the southern Astrius FOEs. Had to duck into 28F sometimes to escape when Force wasn't charged. I also got a visit from Legendary explorers again. Twice, actually. Have to trade some extras I would rather have not, but I can always just make more. Took Safe Step with me when cleaning out the north since I was out of Scout Boots.
Also you can see a good have dozen entrances to 28F. This is going to be interesting...though am doing more Grimoire Grinding next time. Using Bloody Lizards as they don't really do much. Hopefully I can get a good Affection Collar. Already got Salve Lv10, need a new purchase Lv10, and everything else is just a bonus/for trading.
