From the previous grotto, the party now has the 'Platinum Path of Bane Lv. 52' grotto map. Hey hey, time for some more grotto exploration! Now, I explored this grotto off-screen and discovered that the boss is a type of Cyclops called Atlas. A couple of quests involve the Atlas.

One is Quest 058: Fixing the Sicklops, which the party accepted back in video #136. The quest-giver is located on the high plateau southeast of Alltrades Abbey. At the lakeside tree, a boy next to a sick cyclops issued this quest. The objective is to fight Atlas until his HP is 700 or lower and then steal a Titanic Tincture from him.

The Level 40 Sage quest also involves killing Atlas. So, the party heads to Gittingham Palace (time 1:44). There, they talk to the Supreme Sage on the bookshelf in the north (time 2:17). He issues Quest 117: Engaging the Sage. He wants Atlas killed with the Sage's Zam spell.

Afterwards, the party discards a few useless maps (time 4:33). I already checked them out off-screen to make sure there was nothing of interest in them.

Then, they find the 'Platinum Path of Bane Lv. 52' grotto in the eastern Wyrmtail (time 5:45). They begin exploring the grotto on B1 (time 6:04). Note that the Thief ability Treasure Eye Land will show the location of the next staircase. Very nifty.

When B1 is mapped out, they head down to floor B2 (time 11:54).

Afterwards, they go down to floor B3 (time 13:15). A blue chest is to the north near the down staircase (time 13:32). A second blue chest is just past the hall west of the down staircase (time 14:05).

They then go downstairs to B4 (time 15:36). A blue chest is in a large hall to the south (time 17:12). A second blue chest is in an eastern hallway south of the down stairway (time 18:36).

Next, they go down to floor B5 (time 19:31). In a southwest corridor, there is a blue chest semi-hidden behind a torch (time 21:30). A second blue chest is in the little hallway to the north of the first chest (time 22:17).

While the party is on floor B5, Angelo reaches Priest Level 58 (time 23:43).

A third blue chest is in the corridor north of the arrival staircase (time 24:42).

After exploring B5, the party goes downstairs to floor B6 (time 27:44).

Thanks for watching!
