I'm having a bit of trouble with the level 3 boss (playing on Warrior). It's not easy trying to learn boss attack patterns when they're powerful enough to take off huge amounts of health every time they hit you :/ May go back down to Acolyte and run through the game first just to learn all the attacks of all the bosses. It's how I became so good at the first game. Shame if I have to drop down though, the enemies so far have been the right mix between challenging and fun.

Edit: After reading up on the achievements, it looks like I *should* drop back down. To get the weapon achievements I'd need to start a new game on the difficulty I've beat it on, and I'll start with the weapons I've already unlocked. I do want to get the full 1000 on this so I may well start off on Acolyte. Wish I'd read that earlier!

Hmm already p****d off with the stupidly fast and powerful boss at end of level 2 gonna leave it alone for a while while I calm down.

Only playing on Acolyte too.

Genshin? Keep blocking and moving, and wait for him to attack and miss you. Hit him with a few quick strikes, and get back out of the way again. Rinse and repeat till dead

Tried that and he still keeps killing me

Jhadur · 06-06-2008, 16:54

OK finally managed to get by him.

I can see the difficulty of him putting off a lot of "casual" gamers.

I'm stuck on the same end level as you. It appears that you can't do what you normally do to kill him

will give it another blast after dinner.

Tried the end of level boss thing on 3rd level about 10 times so far, still not got him/it. At least I hope it's the boss.

The electric worm boss? He's a right pain. The best way to beat him is to shoot arrows at his face from a distance, and use the fireball ninpo when he's not firing the mini worms at you. When he turns upside down and fires st the ceiling, that's when you can use regular attacks on him. Be patient and take your time with him

Thanks to some careful planning, I can afford this or Lego Indiana Jones.....now all I need to do is decide

You finished it yet Davey?

Davey_Pitch · 09-06-2008, 01:55

Not yet, not had nearly enough time on it as I would like. I'm on chapter 9, and I assume there are 15 or so like the first game. It's taking me longer though as I'm searching everywhere trying to make sure I don't miss anything, though I'm sure I will. Also sticking to the Dragon Sword to try to get that achievement while I'm at it
