Now I have to find something else that I haven't done in recent months, boo.

Your obligatory next step:

I recently finished Dead Space on the PC. The game was decent, but somewhat unbalanced. The weapons you have are overpowered in normal mode. There really is no point in upgrading your weapons. Besides that, the game managed to scare me a couple times.

My mom is playing Pagemaster right now across the room on the SNES.

Me, I'm into playing Mario Bros. a bit earlier, the version on the All-Stars cart.

Might get into some Earthbound/SMRPG/Chrono Trigger/Secret of Mana later. Not sure yet! However, she wants to play SoM again.

I'm on the last stage of SRWAG, I got a skil point without even trying and jumped from easy to normal difficulty.

My super robots are being pummeled, I might start over the stage and use more supply mechs.

I can't stand the Werehog levels. Why would Sonic Team think of something that stupid? Luckily I didn't buy the game...

1- kill colossi. each kill will increase your circle gauge slightly.
2- EAT WHITE-TAILED LIZARDS, BITCH. what did you think the radar was for ?
If you aim properly, you only cut their tails and they survive. You can then go hunt others waiting for the first to regenerate it, and come back for a second/third/moar helpings later.

If you don't aim properly, you end up killing them all... but clearing the game and restarting respawns them all anyway (plus a new load of colossi to inflate the gauge some more).

The sandy cave... the turtle one with geysers ? It's easy enough. Lure it around dodging his blasts on Agro, leading it to one of the many geysers. When it starts wobbling due to the pressure, ride in close, dismount and nail it right in an exposed ankle with anything (an arrow would be fastest, unless you suck at aiming).
Let it do a barrel roll, go all around him, climb his back plates and either wait there like a wuss or start moving around on his side plates, making your way to the head.
Then it's just a matter of stabbing.
Hard mode gives him another strong spot, as usual.

Seriously where do you guys get these games.

The one after that. Managed to beat the turtle colossus after a few tries (nothing pisses you off as much as managing to climb that thing, only to get thrown off moments later and having to do geyser baiting all over again).

gimme a minute, gonna check which "the next one" is. will edit pwn method in.

Ah yes, I see. The godmotherfuckshitting sand shark. tl;dr: "Practice makes perfect."

Mount agro if unmounted. Remain roughly in the open middle area until you spot the sand gushing around it.
Critical - hold L1 (or whatever you have as colossus lockon) from now on.
Start riding slowly (but not TOO slowly), trying to go in large circles with it on your outside; since you'll be in front of it the camera will be reversed, just ride in big circles (not sudden turns) and it'll follow easily.
When it gets close enough he'll show his nogging. First time is a mere hint and isn't useful. Load an arrow - thanks to the lockon, you'll aim roughly at the face.
Second time his eyes are open. Practice makes perfect, but his closest eye is typically pixels away from the lockon point. Just a nudge in the right direction, release arrow, and make a sudden turn away from it with agro.
Follow it closely behind, and stop Agro before it rams itself in the wall (else you'll keep riding during the cutscene, making you lose time). Dismount, get on from the tail end, and strike its weak points for MASSIVE DAMAGE.

It barely wiggles from the stabs, so don't hesitate to use the jumping strikes, you can clear it real fast that way (even faster with the power up artefacts).

Then take a good cup of horrible demon soul ooze up yours and faint like a wuss.

thanks for the info on the lizards grin, I don't know how I missed that what with playing through the game twice in the space of like 4 days about a year and a half ago.

Post by **grinvader** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 8:55 pm

@Panzer:

if you missed the lizards, you probably also missed the things you can do with falcons...

or how to kill your horse...

Panzer88 · Post by **Panzer88** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 8:57 pm

I saw them but I never knew what to do with them, and yes I managed to kill my horse. I'll have to investigate the falcons.

That's all I needed to know.

Apparently I need to clear this game ASAP so can can fuck around with the falcons and other assorted animals.
