176 xenoblade - discovering the seahorse islet

Dear Readers,

I decided to explore the Lakeside area on the other side of the map, so off we went.

It was a small area so we then went for a swim around the lake. We went against the current and tried to fill in the map. The view of the Great Makna Falls was pretty nice! The rainbow that was cast looked spectacular as well! Just really nice.

We found some Hades Beetles along the way too for a quest.

There was a little beach on the right side of the area with big LV34 Makna Brogs. We beat some up for fun. No quest for them right now.

We went down river. We'll explore the rest of the lake later. There were shorelines all along with enemies.

We also met Fool Sardis, which are very nicely named. They're like piranhaxes but very feisty. We were well able for them with our healing abilities. It was able to inflict daze and all.

We picked a fight with the Agile Albatro, LV33. It was quite formidable with some big attacks. Really needed Melia's healing abilities here. We beat it in the end to complete a quest.

We then got all the Hades Beetles we needed. I checked the quest and it said we needed Potent Brog Poison from the Poison Brogs in Satori Marsh. Will visit there later.

Continuing downriver, we came across rocks, one of which was the Seahorse Islet, which was a secret area. Very nice discovery.

After this were a few items in the river current before it ended in an endless abyss. I wondered where it went and curiosity killed the cat haha. It goes right off the world.

I'm enjoying the game a bit more now that I'm exploring like this again. It got dull and laborious for a while. The initial gameplay draw for me was the exploring after all so this is good!
