Part 4: Cooking with Ignis & Awkward Prompto; Road Tripping

Sorry for the delay. I got busy and I had to go back to one of my doctors so they could put in an order to stop my TPN and take out my pick line which I am now no longer on. Well... that and March Madness.

Anyway...

So as I stated I made my way to the two 'Haven's' so I could do the two tours to get 20 AP for both of them for a nice, practically free, 40 AP to use to get more abilities.

The first one involved Ignis who wanted help from Noctis in cooking breakfast. So we agree. Let's just hope Noctis doesn't burn the whole camp down.

It's all good. Ignis was there to pretty much watch over him. All you really had to do here was spin the left circle button to stir the pot and apprently that's it and somehow that made breakfast taste good. But Noctis doesn't want to do this consistently so Ignis is back to being the main cook for the group. Either way tour complete?

The next tour involved Prompto wanting to take a picture so we go with him to a specific area to do so. But what does he want to take a picture of? He states 'Our Garage Goddess' Okay maybe it's not Cindy that's the stalker and it's actually Prompto?

However, right before we're able to do anything, Cindy finds us. Awkward...

So we have to do a conversation choice mini-montage thing here to try to make sure we don't get caught. I ended up having Prompto say that he just wanted a picture of Hammerhead and it lead to Cindy wanting to look at Prompto's pictures some time. Well... at least we got Prompto out of that jam I guess? Tour complete?

After this I went back to the main quest and heading towards the monster Dave wanted us to get rid of. It turned out to be a large Bloodhorn. My strategy to barrage it with Fire actually didn't work out as well as I was hoping it would. Apparently once you use magic it goes through a 'cool down' period and you can't use it again until the 'cool down' period ends. Luckily the game wanted me to use a Gladiolus Technique so I do so and use my fire-embued giant sword and am able to come out victorious with little damage to show for it.

Afterwards we get another call from Cindy who has heard that we found Dave and thanks us as well as informs us that our car is finally done. OH THANK GOD.

I make my way back to Hammerhead and we get our precious car back and now the road trip TRULY begins as I can drive around now.

So I do so to practice. Normally I'm pretty bad at this but I actually didn't do half bad. Then again I think the game makes sure that you don't drive all over the road.

I gather some items and then decided to do the first two hunts.

The theme that plays during hunts isn't half bad honestly. Kind of dramatic.

Spoiler

I did fairly well in the hunts believe it or not and completed them rather easily. So, I think I'm starting to get the hang of this game because I'm doing better in battles. As the saying goes... 'practice makes perfect'

Either way this game is getting good and fun now. Especially now that I have a car to get me places faster.

Also... Cindy wanted us to do one more thing. I did as my walkthrough suggested and tried to refuse but she forced it on us anyway. 'But thou must'

Looks like I've become an 'errand prince' now. HEY THAT'S THE TITLE OF THE QUEST TOO.

Anyway...

I'm going to do some item cleanup and some of the other quests as well because quests don't just give you gil and items they give you experience as well. Experience is good because it levels you up. Obviously. So I'll be doing that before moving on to the next HUGE area in order to continue the main story. Besides, I'll get more battle practice in as well.

Next time:

I help out some stranded people to get experience and gil and collect some items. If it doesn't take me long to do that then I'll also head to the next area to continue my 'mission' to deliver this item to a hotel owner for Cindy.
