It's been awhile since I've done one of
these, and I'm at a point where playing some video games did me some
good.
Granted, it might have been nice if I'd
done something that got me a little farther along than what I
actually wound up doing. It still did me some good, though
At first, I was just going to run
around on the Veld for a little while getting new Rage packages for
Gau and perhaps a new Lore or two for Strago, but when that dried up
quicker than I'd hoped, after getting only a few new Rages for Gau
and, surprisingly, a new Lore for Strago, I decided to take some
advice from Weird Al and go to the Dinosaur Forest area of this
game. Part of the reason for that is that I wanted to see if I could
beat one specific monster in this game: the Brachosaur. Another part
of the reason was that my
blog themesong was going through my head (direct
link here).
The main reason this turned out to be
such a dumb idea is that the Brachosaur is one of those monsters
that's extremely hard to beat. It's doable, of course, but very
hard. Damn thing's got 46000 health and defense through the roof.
On top of all that, the thing's got some powerful attacks, including
the Ultima spell. Because of that, it kept kicking my ass, and
because I was foolish enough to play late at night again, I decided
to call it a night after the third or fourth time I got killed by one
of those things.
After I shut it down for the night, I
took a look at the Caves of
Narshe site, which gave some hints. I'll have to see if I've got
the Fake Mustache for Relm next time I have a go at this so I can use
her Control move on it.
I'm not sure why I'm so bound and
determined to kill one of these things. Beating one is like taking
on the Eight Dragons and Doom Gaze in that it's not exactly necessary
in order to beat the game, but it does make the experience more
interesting. I guess that's why I'm going for it. Just trying to
keep it fun for myself and anyone reading this. I might try again
next time and then go for the other dragons once I've had my fill of
that.
So, until then, stay safe, have fun,
keep gaming, and DFTBA!
