Thanks for bumping, ghostdog-kun!
Valkyrie. Chapter 6, Act 3 - Ringford Forest
After the previous one, this area is pretty anticlimactic. The enemies are way too easy, we met all of them before: elf knights, fairy archers & witches and majestic unicorns.
They have more HP than before and their attacks are stronger... But they're not as deadly as bombs for example.
Let's get it over with!
Gwen pwns some poor knights, receives "S" rating and grabs a new seed:
She has to use three Xtra Phozons potions to make it ripe:
Doesn't look that great either. On next stage she pwns some archers, grabs another recipe (Praline Chocolate), continues SE. There's a Pooka Vendor there, plus a portal:
Yup, we can go to the Furry Village from there!
He doesn't have anything new. Gwen goes back (too bad that she doesn't have a map):
It's a mid-boss stage actually. Gwen pwns some majestic unicorn:
Starting from Psypher level 29 she can use another Skill:
Yet another way of feeding plants.
From now on it's wise to absorb ALL phozons first (to increase psypher level) and release them later.
At this point Alchemy takes more time than fighting most of the time:
Gwen clears another stage (knights, archers, witches), receives another Alchemy Mix:
She decides to test her biological weapon on next stage:
This stuff inflicts another status - Curse:
I will describe it later, when Gwen will be the victim.
The funny thing is, this "killer cloud" follows its victims indeed:
There are three waves of enemies and Gwen is quite slow this time:
Still, she grabs new recipe:
Commemorative Coin?
Is this the one that Gwen still doesn't have (in the middle, worth 20 Gold)?
Gwen clears the rest of this area, grabs another recipe (Chocolate Fondant), bumps into another mid-boss stage (still no map):
More than one horsie this time? It's like the current situation on 'Dex.
Killing them takes her some time - they love to use tag attacks, hitting you alternatingly.
There are also some archers who will shoot Gwen in the back:
Still, at this point it's nothing (I did not loose even once).
Gwen grabs this precious coin at last:
It's time to clean this area. Gwen kills some more enemies, grabs another recipe (Salad), finds another shop:
Once again, nothing new. Gwen goes back, clears another stage
Grabs a map finally:
A map one stage before the boss?
:clap:
Since I spent most of my healing items and run out of materials thanks to my alchemy spree, I think going back as far as a Pooka Village would be a good idea:
Eating five Seafood Salads should make our princess stronger.
Gwen sells some useless shit to the vendor, buys five shrimps (spending some gold coins but whatever)
The restaurant owner has some good news:
That means even moar recipes. Apart from the good old Seafood Salad
We have also a new one:
Since we have some Mulberrys, let's try this new stuff!
"Egg on Toast" is p. good too - huge HP recovery and 1200 EXP
There are also some really bizarre and expensive recipes:
Not that useful - these coins are very rare.
Gwen eats five new Fish & Fruit Salads:
Sells the Ruewort, goes back to the Forest, buys two materials
Creates two Healing Tonics. Her inventory looks much better now:
She replenishes phozons and HP and moves to the Boss Stage:
