Delicious in Dungeon: Episode 22 Highlights
In Delicious in Dungeon episode 22, Laios and his party wake up in the Golden Country and enjoy a breakfast together. As they prepare to leave the peaceful land, they gain further insight into the Mad Sorcerer, Thistle. Through learning about his past, the party discovers the events that led to his descent into madness, though the exact cause of this change remains a mystery.
As they prepared to depart, the group was given crucial advice: before facing Thistle, they must find the Winged Lion, the creature that foretold of a warrior wielding a winged sword and saving the Golden Country. With this new goal in mind, the group sets out on their journey. Just moments after their departure, Thistle arrives, questioning the villagers about who they were talking to.
Upon reaching the dwarven reservoir, the party is met with a vast cavern that poses a navigational obstacle and seems to have a negative impact on Senshi. Initially, it is presumed that Senshi is experiencing teleportation sickness. However, Chilchuck begins to wonder if there is something in the reservoir that is triggering Senshi’s mysterious past.
Upon finding claw-like marks, Marcille concludes that Falin must have passed through this area. However, the group soon realizes that these imprints actually belong to a griffin, not Falin. The situation becomes more dire as the griffin attacks, causing Senshi to become even more distraught. In a state of panic, Senshi takes off in a frenzy, triggering the griffin’s instincts and resulting in Senshi being abducted by the creature.
In Delicious in Dungeon episode 22, we see Marcille using various ingredients to create familiars of different shapes in order to outwit the griffin and save Senshi. Her efforts pay off when she finally manages to craft her most successful familiar yet, a Skyfish, and successfully rescue Senshi.
After successfully defeating the griffin, Marcille grieves for her lost Skyfish. However, her sorrow quickly turns to horror as Laios promptly cooks the creature. The episode concludes with Senshi sharing his backstory, recalling how he and his fellow dwarfs stumbled upon the dungeon during their underground excavation.
