Even more practice using a tablet I guess.

Brie would make a supa kowai touhou.
First time using a tablet and all I borrowed from a summer class. It’s kind of hard trying to draw on the tablet like paper, and not actually seeing it appear on the tablet (like paper), and instead having to constantly look back and forth between my screen and the tablet.

Nanoha is looking supa kowaii this morning.
Alby Advanced for 1 is no doubt the hardest dungeon to find a pass for (and maybe the most difficult dungeon yet as well). Spamming advanced for 3 passes only net me a grand total of ONE advanced for 1 pass (and no wooden needle wooden blades :<). So naturally, I had to run it!
As you can see in the screenshots, it’s in essence Alby advanced with a palette swap. THREE floors, rooms have a reddish-purple tint, and pretty much every room borrows mobs from advanced for 3/unlimited; including their respective boss rooms sans the giant golden spiders. Meaning, you NEED to be able to solo the other Alby advanced variations in order to do this dungeon.
The treasure room is an interesting change from the norm. Killing the boss gives you one key to use, but the treasure room has eight chests to choose from. It’s POSSIBLE to obtain enough keys to open all of them by creating your own keys from larva cocoons. To do so, there’s random (I believe) spawns of larva on floor two, which have a chance of dropping cocoons. FIVE larva cocoons can be weaved in the boss room to make ONE key, and cocoons can be taken out of the dungeon for later use. High dex (190+?) or rank B weaving gives a 99% success rate on them. I myself only had four cocoons drop, meaning I’ll need to go back to Alby advanced for 1 many, many times.
I ended up getting ~4-5k and a MP50 potion. Fuck yes.
