Previously, the party began the search for Stella, the fairy from Dragon Quest IX. They photographed her in her blue dress, satisfying Challenge 141: "Blue Twinkles". Now, the party will take on the thirteenth boss in Memories Lane.

After resuming, the party Zooms to Marta's Cottage (time 1:06). They take the portal to Memories Lane (time 1:47).

The main lineup for the thirteenth boss is the protagonist, Angelo, Red, and Jessica.

The thirteenth boss in Memories Lane is Dhoulmagus in Mem. (time 4:32). Like the first phase of the Dhoulmagus battle, Dhoulmagus in Mem. has two doubles. The one in the middle, Dhoulmagus in Mem. B, is the main body. The vine whip and debris toss attacks are the main ones to worry about, though the physical attacks can be punishing, too. Dhoulmagus in Mem. B can put a party member to sleep with an eye gleam. He can also dispel the party's buffs with Disruptive Wave.

Jessica psyches herself up to 50 tension and nukes the enemy with Magic Burst. Depending on her maximum MP, it may take two Magic Bursts to take out the clones. Be sure to have enough Elfin Elixirs to keep her fueled up. After the clones are defeated, the party can let loose on Dhoulmagus in Mem. B. Angelo's high evasion in his current setup continues to amaze me.

The party eventually defeats Dhoulmagus in Mem. (time 16:30). Angelo reaches Level 95. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 96. Red reaches Level 95. She obtains 2 skill points. She puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 72. Jessica reaches Level 90. She obtains 3 skill points. She puts them into Whips for a total of 64. Morrie reaches Level 96. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 79. Dhoulmagus in Mem. drops a Seed of Magic.

In the next hallway, there are two red chests (time 19:22). They contain another Metal King Spear and Mini Medal #138.

There is also a purple chest, as usual (time 19:53). The party opens it to acquire a Seed of Skill. Davilas uses it to obtain 5 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 84. At 82 points in Fisticuffs, he becomes a Fabled Fighter and learns the ability Boulder Toss.

The party Evacs out of Memories Lane (time 20:47). They take off with the Godbird's Soulstone (time 21:09).

They land on Howlwind Hill (time 21:27). They hunt down some more Metal enemies.

After a double Metal King Slime kill, Davilas reaches Level 97 (time 23:08). He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 86.

Red reaches Level 96 (time 24:37). She obtains 2 skill points. She puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 74. Jessica reaches Level 91. She obtains 3 skill points. She puts them into Whips for a total of 67. Angelo reaches Level 96. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 98.

Morrie reaches Level 97 (time 27:29). He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 81.

The party Zooms back to the Hilltop Hut (time 28:03). There, they rest and save.

Next time, they will hunt for Stella a second time.

Thanks for watching!
