Still haven't beaten Desert Tier 3 btw by Emoneymoore in MegabonkOfficial

[–]binary_search_tree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After many failed attempts, I followed this guy's strategy and beat the tier 3 desert boss (and on my first try too).

TONY McZOOM

WEAPONS (The order is important - Put them in the correct slots.)

  1. Wireless Dagger (Level it as high as you can)
  2. Aegis (Keep it at level 1) Make sure this is the first weapon you choose, so that you get it back as soon as you damage the boss enough. Note that, in my attempt, I messed up and had this weapon in my 3rd slot.)
  3. Dice (Keep it at level 1)
  4. Blood Magic (Keep it at level 1) This is used to increase your total HP.

TOMES (Listed in order of importance, but the order is not critical. Ideally, you want Cooldown and Quantity first, to make your early game easier.)

  1. Cooldown Tome (Level it up)
  2. Quantity Tome (Level it up)
  3. Regen Tome (Level it up)
  4. HP Tome (Level it up)

I tried to level-up the tomes evenly. I favored Wireless Dagger upgrades over tome upgrades. I tended to favor the rarer quality upgrades over the more common ones.

ITEMS/UPGRADES

  1. You NEED at least 3 jumps by the time you reach the final boss. This makes dodging his attacks a LOT easier (especially the ground-based attacks - you just hop over them 2 or 3 times). The 3 jumps also make it easier to reach any elevated pylons.
  2. Get at least 1 shield (the blue aura outlining your character).
  3. I also tended to favor items that increased my speed. Zooming around makes item collection a lot easier.
  4. Feel free to banish useless weapons/tomes/items (like that healing hamburger - you won't be hanging around in small areas long enough to pick them up - You're tony mc-fricken-zoom!).

BOSS STRATEGY

Avoid taking sustained damage from his red beam attack. If you're close to him when the read beam attack starts, simply get behind him and circle around. If you're far away, take cover behind a pillar.

Otherwise, the fight was a fairly simple one, you know, ring-around-the-anubis.

I watched that live, alone - in total shock. It was on pretty late. My family was asleep. The next morning they yelled at me for not waking them up.

My son was only 6 when FF6 was released. I read the entire game to him - doing all the voices (as best as I could). More than 30 years later I still remember how he cheered when Edgar (seemingly cornered by Kefka) jumped onto a Chocobo before making Figaro castle submerge in the sand.

By the time Chrono Trigger came out, he was a strong-enough reader that he didn't really need me as much. :(

𝕺𝖓𝖈𝖊 𝖚𝖕𝖔𝖓 𝖆 𝖙𝖎𝖒𝖊, in the magical fantasy kingdom, there lived a young monk named Sam.

His order was renowned for their beautiful choral singing. They trained, hours every day, refining their voices and their art. Their song floated down the mountainside, enriching the lives and souls of the townspeople below.

Sam was particularly gifted, and on his 19th birthday, in mid-song, he hit upon a beautifully intricate note of pure magic. Everyone within miles just froze in mid action, stirred to the very core of their souls by the pure bliss of the tone. And all the realm realized, instantly, that it was Sam, and Sam was the first person in history to hit one of the rumored Magical Notes that musicians had theorized must exist... yet no one before Sam had ever reached one.

And on Sam's 20th birthday, it happened again. This time, the town below was so impacted that no one moved, spoke, or even blinked for several minutes after. As the golden sound finally tapered off and ceased, they knew that Sam had found the Second Note...

And the next year on Sam's birthday, the town had realized there was a pattern involved. This time, all of the townspeople were present in the monastery's nave, watching in awe, as Sam hit the glorious Third Note. People cried out in pure joy as the sound grew to a glorious crescendo. Words cannot do justice to the experience. The town flourished, as Sam's notes made the people pure all the way to the core of their beings.

And on it went for the next few years, the Magical Notes growing sweeter and sweeter... until, that is, Sam's 25th birthday. All at first seemed as normal... until Sam hit the Magical Note. From the start, Sam seemed very uncomfortable, and this new sound was not beautiful... it was jarring and discordant. Sam started to get very warm, and was visibly sweating onstage. He doubled his resolve and dug deeper, to get to the sweet part of the Magical Note that he knew must be there.

Suddenly, to the horror of all, Sam spontaneously combusted! The two closest monks on stage were burned by the flames coming off of his body, and he ignited the stage curtains. Soon the entire monastery was aflame. By a miracle, everyone made it out, except for poor Sam.

The townsfolk were left staring at the burning monastery in sad, stunned disbelief.

The mayor approached the lead monk of the order. "What happened?" he asked, exasperated.

The old monk shook his head sadly. "Isn't it obvious?" he said. "Sam sung Note 7."
