Good morning!

Last week has been very busy, but I've still managed to make some headway on the monster data. Notably, the first dungeon's monster data apart from its boss is all done, and the second only has one normal enemy and the boss to finish. I also did plenty of planning, so I'm also expecting to be able to devote more time to finishing said monster data.

Here's a look at one of the new enemies in the second dungeon of the update: the Ponderyte!

It's a Void-dweller like the others that players may already have seen. This one is paraelementally attuned to Information, and is quite literally sustained by knowledge. A certain mercenary group has its share of documents and ledgers, which are... passable fare to a Ponderyte. They'd much rather have some nice thought-provoking philosophy, or some interesting new scientific studies, or maybe a nice good story- but ledgers are decent enough eating for them.

When Brill has to match wits with them, she'll have to be careful- their Arithmantic magic hits hard if Brill's ATK is a multiple of 3, 4, or 5. Shown here, Event Horizon is their most unwieldy spell, but it has 75% Gravity damage! Keep track of Brill's Attack stat, or you're going to have a bad time.

Shittttt! More Arithmancy! Tough to defend against! At least Badges mean that tweaking the number is easy, able to add and subtract by 1, at least as long as the x1.2 effect from that awesome badge doesn't get in the way.

Woah, first time we've heard of Void-dwellers eating something! Cool! And I bet these are logs of whatever happened to turn the Forma Zone into the disconnected place.

Stop eating history!

In other things, silly connection since I'm playing another alchemy game, in how "Female Protagonist Fights Swordsman that starts with elemental sword and gets more Elemental Swords" is a thing in both Bloodstained, and this game!
