Previously, the party finished the game a second time and got the normal Jessica ending new to the 3DS version. It's an interesting variation on the normal Medea ending. Now, they will get started with the postgame in earnest.

Reloading their post-completion save, the party resumes in Argonia. They set up a lineup of Davilas, Yangus, Angelo, and Jessica. Angelo gets the Timbrel of Tension and a Meteorite Bracer so that he has a decent chance of psyching up the party at the start of battle.

When they are all set, the party takes off with the Godbird's Soulstone (time 3:52).

Northwest of Argonia, and they land on the platform atop the plateau east of Baccarat (time 4:15). Party chat with Angelo reveals a peculiar coincidence.

The party examines the dragon statue with the glowing symbol (time 6:04). They are transported to the start of the Dragovian Path. After getting everyone's party chat for this area, they begin their Dragovian trek. The monsters in this area can be challenging if your levels are in the early to mid 40s. The Hellstalkers are immune to Jessica's explosion spells.

In the first open room, the party finds a shallow pool around a rocky column. Around the far side of the column, there is a red chest in the pond (time 12:06). It contains Mini Medal #121. This is new to the 3DS version.

Left from the entrance to this room, the party finds a door, followed by an intersection. They first turn left.

They go down a stairway to the second zone (time 14:18). This place is home to some interesting murals.

They reach a watery grotto. At the end of the path, they find a locked red chest (time 15:57). They unlock it and acquire a suit of Liquid Metal Armour.

The party backtracks upstairs to the first zone (time 17:42). When they return to the doorway, they continue past it.

They take another stairway down to the second zone (time 18:39). When they reach the watery grotto, they turn left and take a path into another tunnel.

At the end of this tunnel, they find a locked red chest (time 21:43). It contains a Seed of Skill. The party will save this for Morrie.

Davilas reaches Level 58 (time 23:00). He obtains 3 skill points. He puts them into Swords for a total of 97.

After backtracking to the previous intersection, the party turns left and takes the raised path through the grotto. It eventually leads into a tunnel on the far side. At the next intersection, the party turns right. They traverse a circular path with a pond in the middle and murals on the outer walls.

On a ledge overlooking the watery grotto, they find a red chest (time 25:07). It contains a Thanatos' Shield. While the Thanatos' Shield is cursed, it can be uncursed with alchemy.

After backtracking to the previous intersection, the party continues straight.

The next stairway leads down to the third zone (time 28:47).

Next time, the party will continue through the Dragovian Path.

Thanks for watching!
