(Sorry about all the recent activity spam, if you have it enabled for my stuff. I didn't have any luck with youtube uploading last night.) Mike visited me again recently for more Secret of Mana practice, but this time he brought a super nice camera. Since I planned to record this plan eventually anyway, this seemed like a good time to do it. Planning-wise, I think this is as good as it gets for Chapter 20 in a run. It's also the only place where the duplication glitch is useful, as far as I ...

I tried to upload an earlier version of this battle, but youtube hated it. That's actually a good thing, because this one is about half as long and nowhere near as boring. The plan is simple. Use a Holy Gem to silence the Dragon Zombie at the start to block Foul Stench, Insanity Eye, and Brainrot. This leaves him with only three harmful attacks: Dark Displacement, Discomfort, and Maleficent Harm. Since Maleficent Harm is earth-based, that one can be nullified easily. Just leave Mithra ...

You're probably asking yourself: "Why would he upload a video of the first boss fight AGAIN?" Well, the answer is that I finally figured out how to effectively stomp him in higher difficulties. Hitting him from behind over and over is fine and all, but it's also stupidly time consuming. Since Kraad will be hitting Ballistic Rhino's head (the vital spot) with his two best early game attacks, this really cuts down on the time spent fighting him. It also allows you to pick up a Pact Chain with ...

This is the same Kraken we all know and hate, but his stats are much higher than on easy mode. For those who don't know, you gain 1 crystal per playthrough (items don't carry over, by the way). The difficulty goes up with each crystal, so this is my 18th playthrough in recent months. It caps at 50, so I still have a long way to go. :( Enemy stats at 17 crystals (courtesy of Tri-Ace Fanboy's FAQ): HP: x6 (HP is also doubled for leaders.) Attack/magic: x9.5 Hit: x2.8 Avoid/RDM/RST: x1.3 Based ...

This is it. After Determined Dirna goes down, the run is pretty much over. The only things to do after that are reset the dungeon (no Angel Slayer for me, thanks), check some stats, and save. I think it's safe to say that Dirna had no idea what hit her. The Might Potion was kind of risky to use while so close to a Demishadow, because it easily could've switched to Explosion or some such. But since the battle took very little time to retry, that wasn't a problem. After that, Zunde just uses ...

This part covers the Ethereal Queen battle, which is the longest in the entire run (5 minutes and 24 seconds). Some would call that epic, but considering a decent chunk of that time was from my own stupidity... Anyway, Wrath of Forcefulness was a huge no-no for this battle. Sonic Edge would've made short work of the weapon to begin with, and the battle wasn't going to end in just a few hits even if I had kept the sealstone. I could've farmed for better gear at that point, but it would've ...

With the shiny new Tyrfing, it's time to Zunde SMASH Frigga! Yay! Again, I STILL didn't notice the sealstone problem. Because of this, it took 5 hits to kill her. That doesn't sound so bad, until you notice that I was carrying Wrath of Forcefulness around. ARGH. Because of my faulty estimation earlier, I was completely surprised to see that a fifth hit was necessary. That fifth hit also means that this attempt was outrageously lucky. Not only did the weapon not break after so many hits, but ...

Sorry about the extra poor quality of this part. I was running low on hard drive space due to previous segments, and had an absolutely nasty amount of frame dropping in a previous attempt. I switched to 320 x 240 instead to make sure that wouldn't happen again. Anyway, this part is all about obtaining the Tyrfing. I've heard that Tiamat is female, so the White Loincloth was rendered useless by my stupidity with the Transvestal Law sealstone. If I had realized that, Descaling Might wouldn't ...

This must have been my first and only attempt at this part, because I remember that Lezad fight being my first try. Further proof is the fact that I didn't know where to go when I first ran into the Sunspot Visitor, and the fact that I rammed right into a generic enemy in the teleporter room. Ho ho ho, winging stuff is fun. Lezard cooperated very nicely here, except for when he put his back to the wall. That's pretty much my fault though, since I scared him over there.

Ok, now it's time to fight Woden. I grabbed Tranvestal Law from the shell and placed in the nearby dais on floor 3 first, for obvious damage++ reasons. Then I went and fetched Yggdrasil Blessing, because it's a quick and somewhat easy +20% attack for Zunde. That is, unless the controls decide to hate you when the platforms fall... Anyway, Woden was in a sour mood for most of my attempts. He just LOVED to open the fight with Spell Reinforce, when I would have preferred that he use it after ...
