Together Retro: Ys I

The Tower of Doom is certainly living up to its name.

I'm being clobbered by the spinny-switchy two-heads boss. I don't know if I'm supposed to have the best armor yet or not, but I'm taking a break from losing to him for now.

do you have the flame armor yet? You should have flame everything actually. He's really easy though. You want to just hit the yellow head only. But they keep switching colors.

I misspoke earlier, I have the battle armor but not the battle/flame shield. I suppose it's time to backtrack!

The boss is simple enough, but he deals way more damage to me than I do to him and I usually get hit almost as often as I land a blow.

So the bat boss is driving me nuts. I spent another half hour trying to beat him with no luck. I'm playing the TG version on the VC and am level 17. I have all the sliver stuff and cant beat him... so it's time to grind again. Im thinking around the town is the best place to grind since every enemy is worth 1xp and there are more there. Grr...

I beat the bat boss, who was ridiculously hard, and frankly unfair imo (you cant even hurt him without taking damage as far as I can tell), and got into the tower of the doomed. I re-found all the silver armour, plus all the best equipment, got to the final boss door and....I've missed something. According to a guide I just looked it up on, I need a monocle and an amulet, which means I have to climb halfway back down the damn tower, past both bloody mirror mazes again. I cant be assed tonight, I guess I'll finish this tomorrow.

Atm, I feel like I'm the only one who isn't really into this game.

I just beat this guy and I barely took a hit. Just stand on one of the heads and follow it around, then when they're near the middle, rapidly run back and forth between them to do loads of damage, before following the blue head around the room again (standing on the ehad itself). If you have the best sword plus power ring, they'll quickly start losing the energy balls spinning round them, making them much easier to dodge.

I died 2 or 3 times to the bat boss while barely even inflicting much damage, until I learned the trick to it. When I beat him, he only hit me once. I would just run him to each upper corners and alternate. Run there right away, then stand there, and his bats start going faster and converging, then just run out of the way at the last second, and he usually transforms in the corner from the convergence. Sometimes he wont quite transform, so I run directly south, then loop around and run up to the opposite northern corner again. Then I just run up and hit him when he converges, and immediately run away and go sit in the other corner. Rinse and repeat several times and he went down.

After an embarrassingly long search, I found the Battle Shield. It made the boss QUITE a bit easier.

I assume the final boss is next... I'll figure out what to do tomorrow.

Anyone start Book II yet?

Anyone start Book II yet?

Just finished it right now, actually.

It could be just because it's the DS version, and I haven't played the original one, but a few of the bosses felt like they were trying to turn this into a bullet-hell game or something. Expecially the ones that were immune to sword attacks.

I may have broke the game at the final boss because with Adol equipped with the best items, maxed out level, and with the shield spell, he is pretty much invincible.

Overall, it was very enjoyable. Much longer then book 1, and the story was very enjoyable.

I figured it might be longer. Book 1 was a bit short with most of the game requiring climbing through that damn tower.
