The party has reached the lowest level of the Bowhole, B4. After crossing a rickety, winding wooden bridge, the party enters a building in the north of the level (time 0:53). Here, they find a statue of a big fellow. In a scene, the big fellow comes alive and challenges the party to battle.

This boss is Gadrongo. The main attack to worry about from him is Ground Pound, which can do about 50 points of damage to all party members or 200 points of damage if he targets a single party member. He can also use Burning Breath, which can inflict paralysis.

Other than that, Gadrongo should not be too much to handle. High-tension Gigaslash will again prove useful. If the party has done Quest 064: Turn in Your Badges and acquired 'Swordcraft in Summary,' Gigagash will do even more damage. Boosting the party's defence with Kabuff will help, as well. If the Mage has learned Oomph, it can be used to boost a party member's attack power.

At the end of the battle, Debora reaches Armamentalist Level 34 (time 6:53). The boss drops an Ethereal Stone.

In the scene after the battle (time 7:24), Gadrongo disappears so that the party can collect their prize. "All's well that ends in a well?" Oh, Stella!

Then, the party collects their prize, the Wyrmlight Bow (time 9:28). Now they can make their way past Wormwood Canyon!

Before Evacing out of the dungeon, the party heads upstairs (time 10:40). There, they show off killing a Liquid Metal Slime (time 13:02). Woohoo, look at that experience! At the end of the battle, Heorot reaches Paladin Level 32 and earns 6 skill points, and Angelo reaches Priest Level 35 and earns 6 skill points (time 14:00).

After Evacing out of the Bowhole, the party makes their second and last critical kill of an enraged foe for Quest 091 (time 15:43). Nice! I was expecting it to take longer.

Afterwards, they collect the materials that they could not collect earlier on the way to the Bowhole. In the northwest of Western Wormwood, they collect some Narspicious (time 17:05).

In the south, they collect some Emerald Moss (time 17:38).

On the tiny island in the east, they collect some Slipweed (time 18:08).

Back in Eastern Wormwood, they collect Belle Caps by the shores of the western lake (time 18:43).

When they get back to Wormwood Creek, they talk with Kevo, the farmer that issued them the Level 15 Warrior task, Quest 091: Critical Appraisal (time 19:13). For having killed two enraged enemies with critical hits, the party earns a suit of Warrior's Armour. Kevo introduces them to his bodyguards.

The party next Zooms to Zere and travels to the northwest corner of the Doomingale Forest, where they find Mini Medal #032 (time 22:14). Nice!

With this mini treasure, the party heads to Dourbridge, where they drop in on Cap'n Max Meddlin (time 22:52). For bringing him 32 Mini Medals, he rewards them with a Miracle Sword, a very nice blade that restores a little HP when it strikes enemies. When they have brought 40 Mini Medals, Meddlin will reward them with a suit of Sacred Armour.

And, wonder of wonders, the party opens the blue chest in Wormwood Creek's item shop and gets Mini Medal #033 for their trouble (time 26:08)!

Thanks for watching!
