Suddenly the random encounter rate has dropped, I'm only running into groups of 2/3 enemies, and there hasn't been a single "New enemy approaches!" thing. I am really confused. I manage to get my Pixie to evolve into a High Pixie, which gives her much better stats and Wing Buffet, so I have a better shot now. But then I run into that 7x Foul Specter boss fight and they rip me up. ****. I manage to beat him on the second try with only LUNK living. I don't even care, this dungeon was crap. I had forgotten it, but the first trip to the Amala Network is one of the harder dungeons in the game. Aeros does not belong there. You aren't far enough in to equip yourself to deal with it, really.
Hijiri opens the path to Ginza, but suddenly I find myself in an "unexpected location" which is really the Labyrinth of Amala. I look through the peephole of the tree and see the creepy stage that the old man is sitting on. The young lady with the old man begins talking, and is already dropping hints that the Labyrinth is literally Hell. She gives me the Candelabrum of Sovereignty, aka the thing I use to find all the skeletons. Now I'm in Ginza, finally.
I see lots of Eligors around, because this place is controlled by the Assembly of Nihilo, aka Hikawa's group of Saturday morning cartoon villains. I find Nyx's Lounge, and Loki tells me I can't go into his room. Screw him. I begin exploring the world outside of Ginza, looking for Assembly of Nihilo base. They don't let me in, though. :( My Mou-Ryo FINALLY gets to level 8, and changes his Toxic Sting to Zionga. Mou-Ryo is my new fave. Then a Haunt Preta joins my party! This is actually the third non-recruitable to join me, but I died once after a Wilder Zhen joined me. I don't remember this happening so often, but I love it. Then I seduce a Night Lilim - I answered her question wrong, but I'm hot, so that's good enough for her (never heard that one before). LUNK getting so much action from these ladies. My party keeps dying, and it costs like 500 to revive them. I'm down to 1200 macca. I save and stop because I'm hungry.
Party
Fiend Dark LUNK lvl 12 (Lunge, Analyze, Life Bonus, Berserk, Ice Breath)
Fairy High Pixie lvl 10
Fairy Jack Frost lvl 7
Foul Mou-Ryo lvl 8
Jirae Hua Po lvl 6
Femme Datsue-Ba lvl 8
Haunt Preta lvl 4
Night Lilim lvl 8
Fusion Choices (this is gonna start to get long after awhile)
High Pixie + Jack Frost = Element Aeros lvl 11
HPixie + Mou-Ryo = Haunt Choronzon lvl 11
HPixie + Hua Po = Yoma Isora lvl 14
HPixie + Datsue-Ba = Choronzon
HPixie + Lilim = SNake Nozuchi lvl 14
JF + MR = Choronzon
JF + DB = Choronzon
MR + Datsue-Ba = Wilder Bicorn lvl 15
Hua Po + Lilim = Foul Blob lvl 16
Hua Po + Preta = Vile Baphomet lvl 33 (with really crappy carry skills because they're so weak)
Datsue-Ba + Lilim = Jirae Sudama lvl 13
A few combinations make Momunofu but I'm probably gonna end up recruiting one anyway. Same with Isora, Sudama and Nozuchi, they're each actually pretty solid.
