I picked up exploring where I left off from Noblecourt since I figured I didn't want to leave stones unturned. I went into Hollow Throne and found it surprisingly easy. The boss barely ever did anything since I broke it every turn, and the turn it recovered it just kept buffing itself, so I did the entire fight only getting attacked maybe 4 times in total. I got a few new pieces of gear for Therion, and then pushed forward north.

I wasn't really expecting the jump in level to be so big, so I opted to start running, but figured I'd go to the town and open up the Fast Travel. I arrived in Wispermill and it seemed kind of dead, but treated myself to a couple of items from the shop. Curiousity got the better of me and went back out to the adjoining area and saw another Job Shrine there for something called a Starseerer and went to go see if I could get it. I was able to escape all the encounters in the Shrine, but then realized I was going to need to fight for this job, so I'll have to come back. Running away gave me the idea to try out the nearby Forest of Purgation as well and see if I could get any useful gear from there too.

I wiped the place clean of chests, running away like a little mouse at every encounter lol, but getting out with an extremely high damage dagger.

That kind of got my treasure hunting dopamine sensors a running and went south to Stoneguard, Goldshore, and snuck my way to Grandport, hitting every chest I found along the way, including the side dungeons. I got a new Staff for Cyrus from the 50 dungeon, Loch of the Lost King, and then treated myself to a Soul Glaive and Adamantine Bow from Grandport, which broke my bank, but I think will turn Cyrus into a beast.

I'm probably taking the challenge away from the game lol, but now I have a beefy Cyrus and semi-beefy Therion, though they are still wearing the teens level armor. I opted to call it quits for tonight, my dopamine hit satisfied, and will pick up on Ophelia's Chapter 2 tomorrow.
