Previously, the party returned to Memories Lane and defeated Gemon in Memoriam, the seventh boss. Now, they will continue with the next boss.

After the party resumes, Angelo hands his Timbrel of Tension to Red.

The party Zooms to Marta's Cottage (time 1:25). They take the portal to Memories Lane (time 2:07).

Their main lineup for the eighth boss is the protagonist, Angelo, Red, and Jessica.

They do battle with the eighth boss, Sir Leopold in Mem. (time 3:37). Sir Leopold is dangerous and irritating. He gets three actions, and he will spam War Cry to prevent the party from acting. He has powerful breath attacks, so the party puts up Insulatle. My main strategy is to have the protagonist and Angelo defend with Defending Champion. Defending Champion is effective at mitigating damage. Red envenomates him with Toxic Sword. Envenomation will take away 999 HP from him each round. Then, Jessica psyches up enough to rip him to shreds with Magic Burst.

Eventually, the party defeats Sir Leopold in Mem. (time 7:32). Jessica reaches Level 82. She obtains 3 skill points. She puts them into Sex Appeal for a total of 92. Morrie reaches Level 87. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 55. At 54 points in Fisticuffs, he becomes a POWER Pugilatore and learns the trait Fisticuffs Critical Hit Rate Raised. Yangus reaches Level 91. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Scythes for a total of 64. SIr Leopold in Mem. drops a Seed of Agility.

In the hallway past Sir Leopold in Mem.'s room, there are two red chests (time 10:10). One contains a Metal King Helm, which the party gives to Yangus. The other contains Mini Medal #137. There is also a purple chest nearby. To the north, there is another shortcut.

The party backtracks through the prior hallways to check the refilled purple chests.

In one, they find a Seed of Skill (time 13:54). Red uses it to obtain 5 skill points. She puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 52.

The party leaves Memories Lane (time 14:46). They use the Godbird's Soulstone to take flight (time 15:03).

They land on Howlwind Hill (time 15:21). Time for some more Metal hunting.

Davilas reaches Level 88 (time 18:42). He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 57. Yangus reaches Level 92. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Scythes for a total of 66. Red reaches Level 87. She obtains 2 skill points. She puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 54. Jessica reaches Level 83. She obtains 3 skill points. She puts them into Sex Appeal for a total of 95. Angelo reaches Level 87. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 79. Morrie reaches Level 88. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 57.

Davilas reaches Level 89 (time 24:01). He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 59. Yangus reaches Level 93. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Scythes for a total of 68. Red reaches Level 88. She obtains 2 skill points. She puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 56. Angelo reaches Level 88. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 81.

Jessica reaches Level 84 (time 28:41). She obtains 3 skill points. She puts them into Sex Appeal for a total of 98. Morrie reaches Level 89. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 59.

The party Zooms back to the Hilltop Hut (time 29:44). They rest and save.

Next time, they will take on the ninth boss in Memories Lane.

Thanks for watching!
