Golden Descent
In the centre of this room, there's what appears to be a tablet. Walking up to it, music starts to play (what sounds like a guitar interpolation of the main theme) and the slab is replaced by a golden ladder down.
Before we go though, there are two chests to the sides of it:
- a Dry Ether
- an Elixir
The shops didn't sell any of those, so they might be handy as emergency supplies. We are already nibbling into our supplies, and I have no idea how long this dungeon will be. With those in hand though, we descend to another part of 2F.
It looks like we want to head back downstairs again in the north west of this area, but before we do, there are now 4 rooms available to us. There's nothing obvious in them from the map overlay, but I want to check them out before we move on.
They're all as empty as they looked.
I guess we're getting our cardio in at least - and by that I mean levelling up. I missed the gang getting to Level 46 in our climbing and descending, and Rukus and Clair make Level 47.
We descend back to 1F's north east corner, with the only path forward being to head to the north west and back down to B1.
The new part of B1 appears to just be a long walk all the way round from the south west to the south east, but looping round the whole of the outside of the map. Possibly of note though is a second pedestal/plinth/whatever in the right hand side room down here. We'll keep it in mind, those rooms seem too deliberately big to not be something. Chekhov's rooms, if you will.
In the south east of this floor, rather than just stairs, it appears there's a yellow orb blocking the way. Boss fight?
