We have found the Boss Room of the thirteenth floor of Harubas labyrinth rather quickly.
Now that Miria was done helping the neighbors with the regional activities, we could once again focus fully on the exploration of the Labyrinths, which directly translated itself into us finding the waiting room before the Floor Boss exceedingly quickly.
At first, I thought that this was going to be just another small room like many others, but as soon as the door opened and we walked inside I immediately understood that this was the Waiting Room, because instead of multiple branching paths there were only two waiting for us: the one through which we came here from, and the one leading forward straight to the Boss Room.
The Floor Boss should be right ahead of us. Sherry, what is the Floor Boss of the thirteenth floor of Harubas Labyrinth?
The Floor Boss of this floor where the Pig Hogs are the main enemy is called Pick Hog, and generally speaking, Pick Hogs are just like upgraded versions of Pig Hogs, which means that they are a really tough monsters that mainly attack their prey by using their front hooves. I think that with her dodging abilities Miss Roxanne should still be okay while fighting it, but just to be on the safe side, you should make sure to remain as careful as possible.
After Sherry finished her explanations, the door in the back opened, so I brandished Durandal and gave the order to rush inside.
The three of you handle Pick Hog, I will take care of Grass Bee.
We then proceeded further to the fourteenth floor under Roxannes careful guidance.
After killing Sarracenia with five Fire Storms, I then killed the remaining Pig Hogs with five more Water Balls.
Next, we fight against a group of three different types of monsters. First of all, I killed the two Sarracenias using five Fire Storms.
After that, I finish one Grass Bee using five Breeze Storms, and then I slaughter the remaining Pig Hog with a single Water Ball. Nine attacks in total to defeat a group of four enemies, huh?
Hmm Even though there were three types of monsters, I needed one extra spell in order to finish them off, assuming that I didnt make any mistakes in my calculations. All right then. Roxanne, try to guide us towards a group consisting of three different types of monsters next.
Understood, master.
I instructed Roxanne with specific set of guidelines, and she did exactly like I told her. Although the duration of the battles got slightly longer once more, its not something thats going to hinder our plans of fighting on the fourteenth floor of Harubas Labyrinth.
Whenever were fighting against a group of monsters consisting of only one enemy, I can deal with that group by using the AoE magic of the type that said monsters are weak against and it usually takes me about five Spells to do so. And even if some enemies manage to survive my attacks, Roxanne and the others should be more than enough to dispatch any stragglers that are going to be left.
That is the most efficient strategy for clearing the floors of the Labyrinths: whenever were fighting a group of monsters, you always go first and foremost for those monsters whose numbers are highest, and then you move on to clear out the ones that remain. And as a rule of thumb, whenever were facing Grass Bees or other enemies that have access to either long-ranged Skills or status ailments-inflicting attacks, these ones need to be defeated ASAP.
It all sounds difficult and complicated, but as long as we approach these battles carefully and with attention, we will be able to fight these enemies properly. And besides, its not like we can avoid it entirely, so the best thing that we can do is to grit our teeth and just get it over with as fast as possible.
Now that we were able to successfully clear the fourteenth floor of Harubas Labyrinth, we decided to go to Bodes Labyrinth in the afternoon in order to switch things up a little bit and keep them from becoming repetitive.
Ever since I gotten permission from the Duke to help them Explore and clear out the Labyrinths of the Hartz Duchy, I have made sure to go to Tare and Bodes Labyrinths in order to check out if their exploration progress has changed. Even if Im not going to those Labyrinths, keeping the tabs on their progress is definitely a good thing to do. That way, I wont be caught out of the loop in case if some substantial progress is going to be made in one of them.
And who knows, it might as well turn out that one of the floors that I have yet to explore is going to be unexpectedly easy to conquer, much in the same vein as the sixteenth floor of Quratars Labyrinth.
How far has the exploration progressed?
Up to the eleventh floor.
The Explorer at the entrance informed me thusly when I asked him about the progress of the exploration of the Labyrinth. So what I can see from that is that the progress of the exploration of the Labyrinth of Tare is much slower in comparison to the progress of the exploration in the Labyrinth of Quratar.
