Rock Coral x10 unlocks Medica IV 
(Recovers the target by 350HP) Price: 1200 En
The Blue Ring is kind of useful if you're struggling to kill a Shelltor. Medica IV is overkill at this point but hey, it's unlocked!
Show the monsters what you're capable of! 
Sei!
Misaka is now the main character.
Get ready for a tutorial.

A stronger Deathant that can and WILL summon others to battle. This one is pretty easy, later on you'll HATE these things.
Bring as many ants as you want, it won't be enough!
Crushed!
You know, maybe I'll turn Yolanda into a dedicated Axe user. 
Kill the main one already, will you?
But... which one is the leader?
Too slow.
I see it!
Amazing, Miss Ronin! Allow me to help.
Composite attacks.exe
The lesson of this tutorial is to kill those fucking ants as quickly as you can. Otherwise they will ruin your day.
"Music: The Thousand Year Old Blue Woodlands"
Yolanda-chan, there's something I'd like to try.
Go for it!
You're under my protection!
Hehe...
Hmp...!
So about that plan...
Almost there.
M-Misaka?
Ice ring!
Reitōhasu!
Coooooool.
Osu!
Ok I'll stop with the Shelltors, I just couldn't avoid giving Misaka her own named attack.
Please don't be a pitfall, please don't be a pitfall...
Aww...
Phew...
Hmm, which one...?
Uhm...
The last one.
What if we--
The first one, no one would ever expect that.
HEY :letsgo:
YES SIR? Oh, it's you...
Look at the shortcut on the lower floor, maybe the second door will take us to it?
Well, aren't you clever.
The less pitfalls we have to fall through, the better.
Let's check the rest of the rooms just in case.
Imagine not knowing about this shortcut and then choosing the wrong pitfall, hahaha... 
That shell won't protect you forever!
Another insect to crush.
Well... this is uncomfortable.
Radha Hall will be quite pleased to see your handiwork. If you are done mapping B12F as well, then return to the Radha Hall and show them the results. If not, then move along to the next floor, and complete the second half of your task.
Here goes nothing...
Well done Cantata-chan!
Haha! Thank you, Miss Ronin.
Halt!
What's this feeling...?
Exercise great caution as you venture forth... It's likely that many ants will appear to stymie your passage through this floor.
Stymie, what a word. The game is not lying, many ants will stand in your way. I can't wait to show you the rest of this floor, let's go back to Etria for now.
Elastic x5 and Steel Bone x5 unlocks Shamshir ATK+63. Price: 1900 En
Elastic x5 unlocks Self Bow 
ATK+59. Price: 2090 En
Pretty average equipment. You can buy them to replace the Viking and Hindi if you really care about a bit of extra ATK.
. . .
Completely broken, whoever wielded this sword didn't die without putting up a good fight.
They were true warriors.
My dad used to be an adventurer, to think this could've happened to him...
It's okay, let it all out.
I'll leave this here, just in case.
Object 1: Coordinates A6, right next to a mine point.
Object 2: Coordinates C3 at the end of a hallway.
Object 3: Coordinates D1, to the south of a mine point.
B11F C1 Mine Point

This is the mining spot where you should send your farmbot team, it has the exact same % as the last one but it takes less time to reach.
Mapping is hard...
You're doing a great job Cantata.
Sweet reward, literally. That's all we can explore on B11F for now, we still need to map B12F to complete the mission the Radha gave us.
"Music: The Lounge Where We Speak of Tomorrow"
Bleh.
You hand over the three comrades' articles.
Welcome back. I'll make sure to give these to our client. Thank you very much...
They were pretty brave, challenging the Yggdrasil Labyrinth takes a lot of courage.
I understand why adventurers are drawn to the Labyrinth's mysteries, but... Looking at the things they leave behind... I feel awful, giving requests like this.
Miss Valerie...
But your work does save the lives of many people... So all I can do is pray you'll return safely every time you go down there.
Thank you so much Miss Valerie! We won't let those prayers go to waste.
. . .
Are you really doing that quest?
Heey! We're back. Where's Cantata?
Yes? I'm here!
Oh, you're going to love this. Ta-dah!
That's...
A handmade sweater, yes. Your mother made it and your father added the heart, it looks... well...
quote:
Is Cantata okay...?
Yes ma'am. She keeps singing at the pub, her voice is truly inspiring.
What's the deal with your friend, why is he wearing a chain on his neck?
Uh...
(Damn it Duncan I told you to change...)
I'm actually a performer...!
I see...! Well, since you took the time to come all the way here...
Yes?
My husband and I made this sweater for her. Do you think she'll like it?
That's just... beautiful.
I made the heart, pretty good huh? She told me to leave everything to her but what kind of husband would I be if I don't help my wife?
Honey... 
Well, since we're here. Is it okay if I offer my medical services around the village?
Oh, that would be lovely. Unfortunately money around here is...
Here, this is from Cantata. I hope it helps.
I wasn't going to charge money anyway. Consider it a favour, for all the good deeds Cantata has done.
I see! That's very sweet of you, let me give you a small tour.
Then allow me to repay you in my own way. You, pick up a sword!
M-Me?
You have the eyes of a swordsman... let's see how good you really are.
Yes sir!
Haha... that does sound like him. I hope you learned a thing or two Mr. Duncan.
I still have the bruises...
Well? Let's see the sweater.
This lovely portrait was made by Nico P. Beans She even added the Ocarina. I already took the screenshots for this update, but starting from the next one both Misaka and Cantata will have modified portraits. Hopefully this means I'll be able to make customized portraits on later LPs.
Aww...
I'm sure it'll keep you warm on the third stratum.
Bone Shard x1 unlocks Tabar 
ATK+86. Price: 1800 En
Bone Shard x5 and Steel Bone x5 unlocks Flute (Troubadour only Accessory) Price: 3800 En
Glass Eye x2 unlocks Gem Staff 
ATK+53, TEC+4. Price: 1520 En
Buy the Gem Staff for your Alchemist, the TEC boost is nice. The rest is pretty meh.
Enough training, I'm going to the 2nd Stratum.
Mmm? W'at is she talking 'bout?
She accepted the quest to defeat a Cutter on her own.
We'll go with her just in case t-- Hey, where are you going Shilleka?
Don't try to stop me Shilleka-chan. I'll defeat it with the blade Kojiro-san gave me, the Ohdachi!
Tcha... Why all t'adventurers gotta do such stupid t'ings?
The name of the quest says it all, a feat of strength.
I tell you what, you make it back alive, and I'll buy the first round t'toast y'success. If y'don't hurry, we not gonna leave any drinks for you, y'got t'at?
Now I'm motivated!
EO1 NPCs barely have any dialogue, maybe that's why every interaction is memorable.
I'm not so sure about this... But whatever happens, I'll be there to heal your wounds!
Misaka trains very hard every single day, I'm pretty sure she can do it.
I believe in you Miss Ronin, show them what you're capable of.
Minna... You're right, I can do this!
Seems you're very strong-willed. Come back alive, got that?
This one is an easy target.
. . .
Misaka...?
That wouldn't be an honorable thing to do, I'll defeat the cutter without having to rely on trickery.
She truly has an iron will.
Reckless.
Misaka's build and equipment are the same, I gave her a Tusk Charm just in case.
"Music: A Sudden Gust of Wind Before Your Eyes"
Prepare yourself!
A s-samurai knows no fear...!
Isn't she a ronin?
I don't know anymore.
Ichi! Ni! San!
:STARE:
I wasn't expecting so much damage, mostly because my initial attempts were trying to use Kubiuchi (Instant-death) but I failed miserably.
Wide open!
It's over.
Poor thing.
Huh?
You were a worthy opponent :Hai:
This isn't the last time we'll have to do one of these, the name of the quest is Feat of Strength I after all.
You really beat the Cutter all by yourself? Nice one!
Hehe...
Win or lose, though... I'm just glad you made it back in one piece. I know you need to hone your skills, but try not to do anything too rash.
Didn't Shilleka promise to celebrate with a toast?
Who gave Stace an excuse to drink? Oh dear...
We'll be exploring the Labyrinth in the meantime. Enjoy your celebration!
You don't need to see this Cantata, let's go.
Okay...?
Are you coming, Yolanda?
Mmm? Oh, it's okay. Go without me, there's something I need to do.
I'll rest Yolanda and turn her into a dedicated Axe user, I'll show her new skills on the next update.
Feeling any better?
A bit, yeah. What's with the cute sweater?
My parents made it! You should wear something warmer too Miss Melissa.
Well, I guess I could use the Briault...
"Music: The Thousand Year Old Blue Woodlands"
Ah, B11F is complete. Nicely done.
There's still the door with the purple crystal.
Don't worry, we'll find that key sooner or later.
Ooh~ candy.
Can we reach that door?
Not without opening every treasure chest first.
The Gum Helm gives you DEF+3 and TP+9, I'll pass.
Nothing here, just an empty room.
This FOE will never go outside those 4 tiles. Its movement pattern is: down, down, up, up, left, right.
Tch... no way around it.
Fine by me.
"Music: A Sudden Gust of Wind Before Your Eyes"
Give me a break...
You...!
How many more do I need to freeze?!
It's okay...! We can do this.
CAN YOU STOP DOING THAT? 
Here you go, Cantata.
We have more ants incoming, let's finish this.
Oh, come on! It just spawned in front of me.
*pant* I... hate bugs so much...
Actually, ants do not count as bugs.
Well, I hate them anyway...
First important fight and Melissa is about to run out of TP. This floor fucking sucks, even if the Bloodant is not dealing damage to your party it'll keep summoning more and more Deathants. We can stop this madness but...
...we're surrounded. Let's kill it as quickly as possible.
AGAIN? We just killed that one!
How do they know about our location...
This way!
That one isn't moving.
And it's red.
Heily didn't you write a report about those? Heilen...?
Uh? No, I don't think so… This one seems different. Salvador, do your thing.
Neat.
Are you sure I can use this?
We need your ice spells, Melissa.

Say hi to the cause of many game overs, as long as the Servant is alive it will keep making Bloodants spawn over and over again. The Ant Honey unlocks Amrita II, even if the drop rate is pretty low you can just get it on Take Points later on. Combat-wise, it's just a Guardant with higher stats.
We have another ant behind us.
Scheiße...!
Back off buddy!
I used Ice instead of Freeze 
Salvador, why are you missing so much lately?
Perhaps this will help?
Hmp...! I deserved that one...
Oh, I did it!
No Ant Honey, oh well...
They're gone.
Kill those ants first and don't hold back, got it...
There there...
Once you kill a Servant, the rest of the FOEs in that area will disappear.
Are you sure about this, Doctor?
Definitely!
Oh dear.
Maybe Medic's high TEC can be useful... who knows?
Not bad.
The next room has the same gimmick, however...
Can you see it?
To the right, on the corner.
Well that was easy.
Hmm... not looking good. If I try to kill it as quickly as possible it should take around 2 turns.
B-BUT...! :ARGH: DS ETRIAN ODYSSEEEY!!!
I'll just use BOOST, I don't want to deal with more ants.
Sit down!
That was way too close, I hate being blindsided like that.
Time to recover some TP. Find an enemy that is no longer a threat, then use Peace Ballad and let it do its job while you spam the Guard command.
Naaanananananaaaa~
Okay that's enough.
I think I got it now.
Heilen finally unlocks Revive, after that I'll start putting points into Scavenge or Caduceus.
A shortcut, but...
You want to fully explore this floor, right?
I agree with Salvador, it's now or never.
Nope!
Is that the ant we need to kill first?
Hmm, no it's not.
This way!
Gross...! What's with this place?
Oh~ Look at this.
Eggs?
Ant eggs, yes. They look recent, we should be safe.
That's better.
Fricking ants, leave me alone!
Over there!
Good job Cantata.
And don't come back!
Where are the stairs?
Let's go back and check on the walls. Maybe-- no, we definitely missed something.
Tricky...
Stay alert--
Sal...? *gasp*
T-That one is way bigger than the rest...
I wonder if my alchemy will be enough...
Should we go back to town...?
I believe that's the best option.
"Music: The Lounge Where We Speak of Tomorrow"
Kombanwa.
Huge ant...!
You found the ruler of the stratum?
That was quick.
Tell them, Heilen.
Right, in B12F there's a secret area and...
This update felt a bit too short; don't you think?
I know! Let me show you something. Remember this quest?
Say hi to Golem.
If you try to attack him, he'll always blindside you. On that free turn, it will use a skill that can blind your entire party.
You get the exact same result if you go behind him. What a dick.
Its hobbies include destroying the party members in the backline. I'm sorry Cantata...
Reducing incoming physical damage, even when it already has 50% physical resistance.
Covering his elemental weakness.
It can also recover HP per turn, in case you wanted to know how it feels to run out of TP and eventually die. Just remember that within your enemy's strength is weakness, and Golem is not an exception to the rule.
I'll give this piece of shit some credit; you really need to think outside of the box when trying to kill Golem around this level. Like I just mentioned, he loves to target your backline (yeah, I know how that sounds) and thanks to Provoke and Sapping you can make him waste a lot of turns and deal pitiful damage.
Ah yes, one last thing. The conditional drop requires you to kill it with instant death, and I can do it easily. I wanted to kill Golem with instant death now, then do a proper rematch. I can't decide so... How about you, dear reader, give me a hand. How should Golem die, and when?
Option 1: Kill Golem right now with instant death, then kill Royalant.
Option 2: Kill Golem normally, then kill Royalant.
Option 3: Leave Golem for later, then kill Royalant.
All the options lead to Royalant dying, there used to be a skip on the DS but it was patched. Voting will be up for a few days; I'll be working on the boss overview in the meantime. Thank you for reading!
