STOVE

Hello, this is part 1 of our journey to Jestral Village.

I originally planned to include the story of Jestral Village in one episode, but there was more than I expected.

So I split it into two parts.

Then, let's start today's journal right away.

To get to Jestral Village, you must first pass through the 'Ancient Sanctuary'.

They say there is a path leading to the village of Jestral in the middle of the ancient sanctuary.

Let's get right into it and see what's going on.

As soon as you enter, you see some strange mob.

This guy is called 'Petanque' and his special characteristic is that he runs away when you approach him.

Instead, if you catch it, you will be rewarded with a huge reward that will make even the most formidable bosses lose their shit.

Unlike Mime, you don't get clothes and everything, but you get a lot of things like Lumina colors, so make sure to grab them when you see them.

I will make a simple strategy to catch him and post it later.

There's too far to go into detail about pétanque.

All you need to know is to put it in the 'circle drawn on the floor'.

As they go, rags cover the expedition team.

The head part subtly resembles a zestral, right?

You saw it exactly.

The Zestrals mistake us for enemies and attack us.

They are called 'potato sacks'.

The Zestrals are literally modifying potato sacks and using them as guards.

It was already strong, so I don't know why they made something like that.

There are some things you must know when dealing with potato sacks.

The pattern is easy, so dealing with it is easy.

If you kill them, they will self-destruct .

Like this.

The self-destruct damage is quite painful, and if you get hit hard enough, you may run out of chroma elixirs.

'When the potato sack is almost full and you feel like you're going to fall, dodge.' Just remember this.

There is no real return even if you parry, so don't use parry and just dodge unconditionally.

If you keep going like that, the 'Ultimate Potato Sack' will appear.

It looks scary, but it's not that powerful.

The pattern is simple and it is vulnerable to fire, so it is easy to burn with a rune.

Electric Throwing Pattern: Swoosh~ Pak! Hitting at the right time

Cannon Pattern: Focus and shoot as soon as the light comes into the cannon.

The rest: Just watch them swing and dodge or hit them appropriately.

If you just remember the above, you will get the hang of it after trying it a few times.

By the way, its weakness is revealed on its right arm when destroyed.

Destroy it and hit it 3-4 times with free fire to deal significant damage.

(Falling arms are a bonus)

CUT

As a reward, you get a destroyer.

Lumina is very useful when dealing with Mime later on.

Let's keep it in our pockets and take it out when we set up destruction.

We've crossed the potato sacks and arrived right in front of the village of Jestral.

These zestrals made a mistake and came back a bit... but it's okay if they get there.

In the next episode, we'll run through the second part of Zestral Village.

For your information, I plan to serialize this journal only up to the end of Act 1.

From Act 2 onwards, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't seem to get through it without spoilers.

There are quite a few spoilers among the characters and bosses, so it's not easy to skip them all.

I thought it would be better to just serialize the first act neatly and let you experience the second act yourself.

I think it will probably be completed by May at the latest.

I'll get back to you later.

PS

There's so much content today, it's hard. Oh my...

You worked hard today too.

See you tomorrow~

Why?

13 Is it a phobia?

As for the 2nd season of Honor Ambition, I will pass since I used coupons without considering third parties after being selected for the 1st season, so the actual payment amount will be almost the same.

Hello everyone!
This is Stove Crew's first member, Jo Hye-bin!
It's not a stove game though
Today, the Goddess of Victory Nike x Dessert 39 collaboration starts!
So I tried an open run on the first day lol
The main branch in Bangbae that I visited had Raphi: Red Hood, lol, so pretty,,,
In games, they always show only the butt
You can also see a lot of front views at the Bangbae main branch!
I chose set 1! Cafe latte + croquant choux + acrylic key ring + 200 jewel photo card.
I was hoping for an acrylic keyring Dorothy to appear…
but
Because of the life-size doll buff at the Bangbae main store ㅠㅠ
I decided to exchange with a friend…
Everyone, please go there when you have time~~~…
