Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Grody Gumpdrops boss battle begins with Grody Gumpdrops accompanied by two Goodybags.
  2. 2
    Prioritize defeating the two Goodybags. Their Kasap spell lowers your party's defense, and their MP-draining dance can be detrimental over time.
  3. 3
    The Goodybags can also inflict the Dance status, causing a character to lose a turn, or drain 1-2 MP.
  4. 4
    Grody Gumpdrops uses Sizz (around 15 damage to all) and Sizzle (around 25-30 damage to all). He can also use a Dazzle attack and a physical attack dealing 15-20 damage to a single target.
  5. 5
    Use the spell Bang for decent damage against all enemies at the start of the battle.
  6. 6
    Once the Goodybags are defeated, concentrate your attacks on Grody Gumpdrops.
  7. 7
    Keep your party healed, as Grody can attack twice per turn. The Hero and Maribel may need to focus on healing.
  8. 8
    After defeating Grody Gumpdrops, loot the chests for 50 gold coins, a Mini Medal (#13), and another Cannibox.
  9. 9
    Exit the grotto to the south.
  10. 10
    Pick up the Green Fragment.
  11. 11
    Use Maribel’s Evac to exit the dungeon.
  12. 12
    Return to the town to rest.
  13. 13
    Head back to the portal to go to the present version of the latest journey.
  14. 14
    Find the nearest church to save.
