Ah, constantly redoing my fusions until I get the exact skill set that I want. I missed this. Fusing Kodama the gumby demon and Shikigami the paper bag demon for Jack Frost. I could've gotten Dia/Zan on him, but I went with Dia/Zio just to speed it up, and it's not a huge issue at this level. "Let's go, hee ho!" Well said, my new best friend.
Next to the Cathedral is the junk shop, where Heeho the Jack Frost is selling some goods! I can't afford the Magatamas yet so I buy some dis-poisons and leave. I thought I was done in Shibuya, but after wandering around I triggered Hijiri teleporting in to the Shibuya terminal. He wasn't there the first time. Anyway, he's sending me to Ginza via the Amala Network - I had totally forgotten about this, even though the Amala Network dungeon(s) were some of my favorites. Awesome music, fighting some demons you don't normally see, good stuff.
Now I'm in the Amala Network with Hijiri guiding me with his lovely voice. I manage to find a healer, so I am doing alright until I run into 2 Aeros and an Erthys. LUNK misses Lunge THREE times wtf what a loser. Then again Aeros has high Agility... Lesson learned, I have died. Then I run into Aeros x4 and die. I forgot that this dungeon actually kinda kicks ass. Then I die to Foul Mou-Ryo x5. Forget what I said about liking this place - it's too early in the game for me to be able to hold my own when each set of enemies appears right after the last set dies. On try #4, a Mou-Ryo asks for a Chakra Drop. I know this situation all too well - always give the unrecruitables whatever they ask you for. It joins me! Worth it. Then I die again. Datsue-Ba's Shibaboo is the only thing even giving me a fighting chance. Then I die because "new enemies appear" twice.
I am frustrated at this dungeon and I really don't want to resort to grinding.
