In this one, Dismount mates and Monstaphone really saved me. The duo's might compensated for my rust. (Fun Fact: I try to only play on the profile once per day, even though I'm always excited to progress in it.)
By the way, when you see me click on "Return to Camp", it's to check which mounts (and which crowns for each mount) I have ready to be sent to base. I originally thought I'd have to choose between Gold Crown Mounts to return to base again, but the Tartle was only a Silver Crown instead.
Starlit Cave went well! I didn't take damage at all during the key-gathering part! This one required doing three monster battles to unlock the second half, which was just a path to the boss per usual. The boss battle also wasn't too bad. The combo of Monstaphone, Dismount Mates, and the Tough perk lasting throughout the entire Dungeon really carried the runthrough!
After completing that Dungeon, I ran out of most ideas on nearby things to do, so I just randomly went to the Glacier Zone again to look for Shiny Pins with time I had. That ended up with me being defeated, although at least I got some pins out of it. The perk I chose for the new level up was Pace Breaker, which should help with later quests along with Monstaphone.
