Part 16 - Moving on into the icy overworld.  Mostly just exploration here

[pixcalibur]

Part 17 - An optional mini level, may actually want to come back a bit later on if you want to be safe given what you get here isn't all that useful immediately after.

[pixcalibur]

Part 18 - Of course this place is just one icy bit of land.  Gotta go through here though to access a sport back towards the start of the game.

Part 19 - Going into level 6 a bit early, but nice to pick up this item so that I can explore more.

Seems like the game's pace is picking up a bit more now. I mean for a while it just seemed like you were stuck at 8 hearts and making minimum headway in the quest. Still wondering what the heck you have to face in level 6 that you're unwilling to fight at this point. And those flies...OUCH. You'd think they're blood thirsty demonic mosquitoes the way they deal 2 hearts base damage to you. Also on a minor note, back when you were in Eolis, I don't know why, but I was thinking of Faxanadu on the NES since the town you start in is called Eolis. Wonder if that's where Jamian came up with the town's name?

[pixcalibur]

Yeah, gonna be going back to clean up stuff in the next few parts.  Nice to pick up some upgrades first.

[pixcalibur]

Part 21 - Time to pick up more random upgrades from scouting.

Part 23 - Back to the island to clean it out now that we have a better sword.  A number of patra 2's, but not that big a deal for the feather

Part 24 - Time to do some catch up work in earlier levels.

 

Part 25 - Pretty much an outside dungeon environment with wizzrobes every which way

 

Part 26 - Pretty much need the Lens of Truth to make this trip safely.  Yeah, don't want to know what happens if you touch the skulls...

[KingPridenia]

Yeah, skulls are probably instant death. Either have a perfect memory, or just keep trying over and over, racking up a ton of deaths on the way. Also, I want to say some quests can even make it so you can't jump over damage combos, but don't quote me on that.

Part 27 - Hope you enjoy fighting Manhandlas

Part 28 - More Manhandlas to go through.  You'll learn to hate the one weak to the hammer for obvious reasons.

Part 29 - Luckily the boss was pretty nice in staying on the left most of the time I was whacking away at it.
