I encountered my first boss in Etrian Odyssey Nexus, the Blossombeast. I rolled it with auto-battle and won. It took longer than a regular fight but I didn’t get damaged too much.

I want to know how this auto-battle works. Will my characters use their special attacks?  I’d like to set tactics but I didn’t see any option to do that. I’ll probably keep going with auto-battle until I see my characters taking serious damage, then I’ll step in and fix things.

My mission was to map the first level, so I continued on after the boss. I came across a Geomagnetic Field that teleported me to out to the world map and revealed a new island. I stayed on the one I was on to finish the map for the Princess.

Once I'd handed in the map to the Princess, the Compendium was unlocked, and I could log everything I had seen for the Princess. I checked the bar for side quests. There were none. I went to the shop and forge upgraded several weapons with matterials I’d harvested from monsters. Then I sold the rest of the gory mess and bought new gear. Finally, I went to the Inn and activated Street Pass so I could share and receive Guild Cards, which allow you to use other people’s characters. Then I slept/saved. Just another day in EON.
