Previously, the party recruited Nohi, the Killer Director, and cleared Rank X in the Monster Arena. Now, they will hunt down Stella again in hopes of photographing her in her last outfit. This is my second attempt because she was wearing one of her previous outfits the last time I tried.

The party resumes in Empycchu. First, they go through the process of zoning in and out of Empycchu for thirty minutes in hopes of making her spawn (time 1:28).

Afterwards, they begin searching for Stella (time 31:34). They start on the hill south of Empycchu. I have seen her there before, but she does not show up there this time.

The party Zooms to Farebury (time 32:59). They again find Stella by the red tree southeast of town (time 33:51). Wonder of wonders, she has her red dress on!

The party photographs Stella in her red dress (time 34:04). This satisfies Challenge 138: "Red Twinkles". Challenge 138 is worth 3 stamps.

The party talks to Stella (time 34:37). She rewards them with a Double Bubble.

The party Zooms to Port Prospect (time 35:12).

They report to Cameron Obscura (time 35:38). They complete Challenges 019, 138, 139, 140, 141, and 142. They obtain 18 stamps. They finish off the Archdemon Card and earn a Sun Crown. Oh, boy! The final card is the Munchie Card, which has no stamps.

For completing all the unspecified challengs, the party earns a new frame for the photo album. They have completed all the regular monster challenges and earned another new frame. They have completed all the mystery challenges and earned another new frame. For completing every single photographic Challenge, they earn a new sticker.

For completing all his Challenges, Cameron rewards the party with a piece of Orichalcum. Very nice. That concludes the Cameron's Codex sidequest. Aside from the search for Stella, it is not too bad.

Now, the party will work on making another Timbrel of Tension with the Sun Crown. All they need now is a piece of Magic Beast Hide.

The party Zooms to Pickham (time 38:20).

In the Pickham region, they pick on some Gorerillas (time 39:47). Yangus actually steals a Magic Beast Hide with Stainless Steal Sickle (time 40:49). Color me surprised.

The party goes to the Alchemy Pot (time 41:06). They make a third Timbrel of Tension (Sun Crown + Magic Beast Hide + Tough Guy Tattoo). Very handy! Jessica gets it.

The party Zooms to Empycchu (time 43:48). They rest and save.

All that is left now is to get the game's "true" endings. The party will work on one of those next time.

Thanks for watching!
