Our Buddy Golbez

Or not. I thought for sure we’d be fighting Golbez, but the most remarkable things ensued once we had destroyed the giant’s brain. The tale gets a bit long and winding, so I’ll do the Reader’s Digest...

The Moon Palace’s Basement is such a sprawling place, and filled with such an amazing collection of bosses and enemies. Detailing each one of the boss fights would get fairly repetitive, but as we...

This Moon Palace Basement is one hell of a huge basement. We got spun around a bit as we hacked our way through the sixth and seventh floors. By chance, we walked across some sort of invisible...

Does This Place Ever End?
2008-05-23 23:04:14
Man, how far does this Moon Palace Basement go? I started with over 400 high potions, and I’m down to less than 100. Random encounters now are frequent and tough. I haven’t seen a save point for...

Oh, snap. The same damn thing happened. Slower speed didn’t help us at all, as Zeromus still bashed our party about like ragdolls. I don’t think I put more than 20,000 hits on him before we were all...

Sigh. This battle went much better than the last one, but in the end Zeromus overpowered us. I’m guessing that I managed to get about 40,000 or so hit points on him, but he attacks too quickly and...
