At the end of the previous grotto, the party obtained the 'Bronze Maze of Regret Lv. 58' treasure map. Time to go exploring in a new grotto!

But before that, I have already verified that this grotto contains Darkonium Slimes, which are required for Quest 128. To accept this quest, the party goes into Stornway Castle (time 0:29). In the castle, they go out the northeast doorway on the first floor (time 0:40). Then, they go down the well in the side yard.

Then, they chat with Hamish, whom they have already helped for Quest 007: A Curious Crevice (time 0:46). Today, he issues them Quest 128: P-P-Pick Up a Pickaxe. He wants them to acquire a Platinum Pick from a grotto monster called a Darkonium Slime.

Afterward, they travel south and land in the Wyrmneck north of Upover (time 3:04). The grotto entrance is in the eastern forested area. Once the entrance is found, they head inside (time 3:32).

The party soon finds the stairway leading down to level B2 (time 5:13). Then, to the northeast, they go down to level B3 (time 6:46).

Time to start looking around for blue chests. The first can be found directly south of the arrival stairs (time 6:55). Another chest can be found by the down stairs (time 9:26). Ack, a Mimic!

The party then heads downstairs to level B4 (time 9:56). One blue chest can be found in the northeast chamber (time 10:37). Another can be found in the corridor to the south (time 10:47).

Then, they go down to level B5 (time 11:49). Darkonium Slimes and Octagoons begin appearing down here. Octagoons are in the same family as the Hexagoon, the boss of the Hexagon.

Moments after they arrive, Debora reaches Gladiator Level 56 and earns 2 skill points (time 12:16).

Afterwards, they find the Darkonium Slime they need to slay for Quest 128: P-P-Pick Up a Pickaxe (time 13:23). These guys have high defence, and they seem to be immune to magical attacks. Fortunately, the party gets the Platinum Pick right away! Yay!

One of B5's blue chests is in the eastern hall (time 16:33). Another can be found in the open room east of the down stairs (time 20:10). Aha, Mini Medal #073!

The party next goes downstairs to level B6 (time 22:02). One blue chest is in the room west of the arrival stairs (time 23:05). Another can be found in the northeast room, north of the down stairs (time 26:18).

Then, they go down to level B7 (time 26:38). Some Liquid Metal Slimes can be found here! Nice!

While on this level, Angelo reaches Priest Level 65 and earns 2 skill points (time 27:55). He learns Omniheal--yay! But just look at that MP cost of 96, and that takes into account the MP reduction from Enlightenment. Use only in case of emergency, I guess. Dire emergency. It's a good thing Multiheal gets more powerful as Magical Mending increases.

After landing the final blow to a Liquid Metal Slime, Heorot reaches Paladin Level 64 (time 32:09).

The party will continue exploring level B7 in the next episode.

Thanks for watching!
