Previously, the party fought the fourteenth boss in Memories Lane, the second form of Dhoulmagus in Mem. Now, they will search for Stella a third 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 1:16). They go through the process of zoning in and out of Empycchu for thirty minutes.

Afterwards, they begin the search for Stella (time 31:39). They first look for her on the hill south of Empycchu but do not find her.

Next, they Zoom to Farebury (time 33:31).

They find Stella near the red tree southeast of Farebury (time 34:24).

First, they photograph Stella in her orange dress (time 34:34). This satisfies Challenge 139: "Orange Twinkles". Challenge 139 is worth 3 stamps.

Then, the party talks to Stella (time 35:11). She rewards them with a Gold Nugget. Not a bad reward! Now, they just have to find and photograph her two more times. In different randomly chosen outfits, of course.

The party takes off with the Godbird's Soulstone (time 35:46).

They land at the site of the Tree of Styx east of Baccarat (time 36:41). In the Alchemy Pot, they brew up five more Elfin Elixirs (Yggdrasil Dew + Magic Water). They also make an Yggdrasil Dew (Yggdrasil Leaf + Magic Water) to get their Yggdrasil Leaf out of inventory.

Then, they wait until the Tree of Styx appears at dawn.

They begin the process of picking up Yggdrasil Leaves and making five phials of Yggdrasil Dew (time 40:10). Easy but tedious. They finally grab an Yggdrasil Leaf for Davilas to hold onto.

The party Zooms back to the Hilltop Hut (time 42:55). There, they save.

Next time, the party will fight the final boss in Memories Lane. It will be familiar to fans of the series. As part of preparation, Davilas takes some Highly-Strung Cheese. When Munchie eats it, he boosts the party's tension a level, like a Timbrel of Tension.

Thanks for watching!
