I came here to see the Bomb Artist myself.
Hes in the barn over there. Why dont you go in and talk to him?

The Bomb Artist was indeed in.

Pops: I heard you were the hero of the Battle of Zeyung!

Pops: Yeah, yeah. So, what does a hero want from me?
Ah. You want a powerful bomb that can clear big rocks

So, I need an even stronger bomb.
Pops: Hmm. Let me see this Mega Flame of yours.
I can make you another bomb just like it, but with a lot more power.
The Bomb Artist was quite surprised to see Felts bomb.

Pops: This isnt an ordinary bomb.
This bomb looks like it was made with alchemy.

Pops: Oh, yeah!
Well, Ive dabbled with it
Ah ha, thats interesting I see how this works.
But, Ill need you to help with the alchemy, Felt.
Can you do that for me?

Ill do whatever I can to help.



Poe had some very bad habits indeed.






We have plenty of time to get to know each other afterward.
My passionate heart demands our matrimony!

Please forgive me!
One of the least of those was composing letters aloud.


Maybe if I use inviting instead of symmetrical
Meanwhile, the Bomb Artist was finishing his work.

Pops: Sorry its just the plans, but you should be able to build your own off of this.
System Message: Received [My Ultimate Bomb]!
You now have the recipes for [Tera Flame] and [Dragon Gem]!
Pops: I also added some other recipes I thought you might like.

Pops: Dont mention it.
Felt had a very real concern about what had just happened, though he didnt have all of the facts hed need yet.



Im sure he knows a lot about alchemy.

Is the Bomb Artist really an alchemist?

They left it to Viese to create the new bombs. She started with the Dragon Gem, which calls a dragon to repeatedly barrage an enemy with fire.






It doesnt look very strong.


This was just a warm up to the main event.


I really have to give this to Felt.











But the Belkhyde Gate never opened for me.


But, there arent that many in Eden, and the details are sketchy, at best.
I want Felt to tell me all about Belkhyde when he comes back.


Be careful, Viese.
Felt traveled around a bit to some of the ancient lithographs hed seen earlier on the way to Tatalia.


It seemed there was indeed a new area that was discovered in the Desert Ruins.

Tatalian: Were exploring a new area in the Desert Ruin.
But, we cant open the door at the end.
Were heading back to Tatalia for now.
Go ahead and see for yourself. Just, be careful, okay?
The door that had previously barred them was gone now, though a strange air of danger emanated from the new area.

Azure Azoth: The seal for this door is still intact.
I believe it operates in accordance with the other workshops.
There must be another workshop behind this door.


Lets be careful from here on.
Feinnes Fourth Wall Lectures: Ghosts of Tatalia
Okay, this place actually sort of sucks. Its full of powerful enemies who are immune to physical attacks and often absorb certain elements as well. Felt and Poes normal attacks are magical, which helps a lot.
And at the depths they found the Workshop.

Please wait here, everyone.

This one was for the Crystal Monument, the Light Manas holy ground.

Azure Azoth: This one appears to have sustained minimum damage

Azure Azoth: The Light Manas holy ground should now be restored
Felt There is a matter I must discuss with you.

Azure Azoth: It is about the Crimson Azoth and its wielder.
Do you remember that skill he used in battle at the fort?
The skill that turned Max to stone.

Azure Azoth: Exzanosis
I am still confounded at its implementation.

Azure Azoth: That skill requires the use of matter modulation.
An advanced alchemy technique that the Azoths creator excelled at.
There are no effective defenses against it.
Other than avoiding that technique, of course.

Azure Azoth: Nevertheless, the time to face them is near.
You must be prepared for that encounter.

They returned to the others.


Next time well see what happened at the Crystal Monument.
