Part 10: Hunting a Behemoth to Ride Chocobos; Iris & Lestallum

So... as I was doing the myriad of sidequests, out of nowhere, I got Prompto character development. Apparently, he didn't always used to e the happy-go-lucky jokester that he portrays himself as. He was actually kind of shy as a kid and had trouble making friends and he was worried he wasn't pulling his own weight in the group. But, Noctis assured him he liked Prompto as he is and he's doing fine. WE ALL LOVE YOU PROMPTO.

Either way... eventually... we go to the Chocobo Farm and learn that a Behemoth menace called 'Deadeye' is roaming the area making it impossible to ride Chocobos, so, being the awesome group we are, we join the hunt for him so we can go chocobo riding.

So... as I did this... it did the similar scenes from some of the trailers!! BEST.

This Behemoth... had a broken horn and an impaired eye, explaining it's moniker of 'Deadeye' eventually we trail it in the mist to it's den. I did fairly well here. This part was actually quite good. I loved it. After we sneak into it's den there was really only one thing left to do... take it down.

Now admittedly... I didn't do very well in this fight. Honestly... I sucked.

Not that it mattered. I still won. The only bad part is I didn't get the hear the boss theme for long enough. It was the other AMAZING boss theme known as Omnis Lacrima.

Spoiler

Either way with that complete WE CAN RIDE CHOCOBOS NOW. PERFECTION. But I haven't done so. I waiting for the perfect moment to.

With everything done, I moved on to Lestallum and did a few other sidequests as well. It's quite the big area, after collecting items I met up with Iris in the hotel who informs us that it was... bad in the Crown City. Well... I would think so considering the attack.

But she's okay. In the morning Iris drags Noctis into a tour of the city with her and near the end of teased Noctis thinking it was a date. DON'T BE A TWO-TIMER NOCTIS. Not that he would but still.

With that complete some kid informs us of a rumor of a legendary sword in an area behind a waterfall and the group surmises that it could be another Royal Arm. Oh goodie. More dungeon crawling. Full of monsters trying to kill me. Perfect.

Eh. I'll be okay. Maybe. I had a lot of gil but it all went away as I bought the stuff at the armor vendor. Great. Well I'd better try to get some of it back with some hunts and other quests. So that'll be next. More sidequest cleanup to get my party as strong as possible for the next dungeon.

Next time:

Sidequest cleanup part 2 for dungeon preparation. My party is actually pretty close to the 30's now. If I can get them to the 30's I'll probably be okay. Hopefully anyway. I'm still in love with this game. I'm starting to get addicted to it.
