Reborn as a Vending Machine episode 8, titled The Flame Skeletitan of the Labyrinth Stratum, saw Menagerie of Fools teaming up with Boxxo, Lammis, and Hulemy to defeat the Skeletitan. While they planned on extinguishing the stratum lord using water and ice, Boxxo used dry ice to produce carbon dioxide and stop the flames.

Following that, Boxxo influenced Lammis to drop her on the Skeletitan's head. This is how he managed to defeat the stratum lord and obtained a coin for the same. The coin was seemingly capable of granting any wish, and given that Boxxo already had a coin, he sold the second one to Kerioyl.
