Previously, the party fought the thirteenth boss in Memories Lane, the first form of Dhoulmagus in Mem. Now, they will search for Stella a second time in hopes of photographing her in a different dress.
Strategies for finding Stella can be found here on the Dragon's Den: https://www.woodus.com/den/games/dq83ds/stella_hunting.php
After the party resumes, Davilas equips the Gospel Ring to ward off monsters.
The party Zooms to Empycchu (time 1:24). They go through the process of zoning in and out of Empycchu for thirty minutes.
Afterwards, they begin the search for Stella (time 31:46). They first look for her on the hill south of Empycchu but do not find her.
Next, they Zoom to Farebury (time 33:36). They check for Stella near the red tree southeast of Farebury. Again, they do not find her.
Then, they Zoom to the Riverside Chapel (time 35:30).
They find Stella on the northeast shore of the lake between Ascantha and Pickham (time 36:28). She is in a purple dress. As you can see, she makes quite a spectacle at night.
They first photograph Stella in her purple dress (time 36:42). This satisfies Challenge 142: "Purple Twinkles". Challenge 142 is worth a mere 3 stamps.
Then, they talk to Stella (time 37:15). She rewards them with 5 Seeds of Strength. Hey, not bad! Now, they will have to wait until the next real-world calendar day to search for her again.
The party Zooms to the Hilltop Hut (time 38:05). However, while preparing the party for the next Memories Lane boss, I determine that they need more Yggdrasil Dew. That will require more Yggdrasil Leaves.
The party takes off with the Godbird's Soulstone (time 39:44). They land at the site of the Tree of Styx (time 40:37).
When the Tree of Styx appears, they start making phials of Yggdrasil Dew (Yggdrasil Leaf + Magic Water) (time 41:07). Each time they consume an Yggdrasil Leaf in alchemy, another Yggdrasil Leaf will appear on the ground near the Tree of Styx while the tree is visible. In this way, the party makes five phials of Yggdrasil Dew. Davilas also holds onto an Yggdrasil Leaf.
When they are done, the party Zooms to the Hilltop Hut (time 44:09).
Next time, they will face the fourteenth boss in Memories Lane.
Thanks for watching!
