Crusade Cleared
102 19 You gain 36122 Credits! 102 18 You gain 31476.13 EXP! 102 17 Your HP and MP have been fully restored! 102 16 Arena Token Bonus! Received: [Token of Healing] 102 15 Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Godly Spirit Draught] 102 14 Manbearpig dropped [ManBearPig Tail] 102 13 Mind Raper dropped [Godly Health Potion] 102 12 Dalek dropped [Dalek Voicebox] 102 11 Mithra dropped [Mithra's Flower] 102 10 You are Victorious!
Come on. It took like 50 minutes, several godly mana draghts, and that was my reward? :\
Also, three bosses at once = lots of mana usage on the last round. Next time I'll definitely take some shield/swiftness scrolls to offset that.
This is becoming very disappointing
114 11 You gain 2467 Credits! 114 10 You gain 31453.73 EXP! 114 9 Your HP and MP have been fully restored! 114 8 Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Godly Mana Draught] 114 7 Dalek dropped [Dalek Voicebox] 114 6 Manbearpig dropped [ManBearPig Tail] 114 5 White Bunneh dropped [Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch] 114 4 Blue Slime dropped [Average Mana Draught] 114 3 You are Victorious!
Not even a token this time, and again, crap.

Endgame was/is my bitch. (and it only took 5 superior mana draughts) And I think the Wiki is wrong about there only being 2 minibosses in the final round. I think there was 3. It did not make a difference...

ManBearPig down! Killed him at lvl 50. Items Used: Scroll of Life, Godly Spirit Draught x1, Superior Mana Draught x1. I killed him before he could charge up for Global Warming. Spark didn't proc. White Bunneh down! At lvl 52. Items Used: Scroll of the Gods, Godly Spirit Draught x1, Superior Mana Draught x1. Spark didn't proc, but 25% shadow Veil was nice. Absorb ate 1 of 2 OM NOM NOM NOMs, gave me 8 MP. Bunneh used second OM NOM NOM NOM one turn before critting Awww. That wasn't funny, but I fortunately decided to heal right after that NOM, so I survived.  EDIT: Mithra down! At lvl 52. Items Used: Scroll of the Gods, Godly Spirit Draught x1, Superior Mana Draught x2. Notably harder battle than the other two, mostly because she has more HP (2 full-strength Spirit Attacks didn't kill her). She hit me with Purr and Undress while she had no visible life bar remaining. I was really glad that I decided to be super-cautious about my HP.  EDIT 2: Dalek down! At lvl 52. Items Used: Items Used: Scroll of the Avatar, Scroll of Life, Godly Spirit Draught x1, Superior Mana Draught x1. I ran out of Scroll of the Gods, so I used my Avatar and Life scrolls. I lucked out a bit, too: Dalek ended up being lvl 48. I also got silly lucky with Brain Sucker: my Spark of Life expired the turn before he used it... but he missed!

Longest Journey - Heroic (previous best was hard)
119 12 You have reached Level 172! 119 11 You gain 1771 Credits! 119 10 You gain 26238.11 EXP! 119 9 Your HP and MP have been fully restored! 119 8 Arena Token Bonus! Received: [Token of Healing] 119 7 Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Godly Health Potion] 119 6 White Bunneh dropped [Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch] 119 5 You are Victorious!
Pointless as hell, given the reward. In the last 3 days, the only equipment I've found on a endgame or higher arena has been a single pair of average leather leggings. Fucking bs. 30 rounds on heroic, and I got a Godly Health Potion. Fucking rawr.
Dreamfall - Hard: 89 11 You gain 1748 Credits! 89 10 You gain 26972.49 EXP! 89 9 Your HP and MP have been fully restored! 89 8 Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Godly Mana Potion] 89 7 Dalek dropped [Dalek Voicebox] 89 6 Blue Hedgehog dropped [Greater Mana Draught] 89 5 Tentacle Monster dropped [Average Mana Draught] 89 4 You are Victorious!
Come. Fucking. On. Pleeease!
Exile - Hard (new record): 64 10 You gain 1744 Credits! 64 9 You gain 27112.94 EXP! 64 8 Your HP and MP have been fully restored! 64 7 Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Fine Ruby Dagger of the Raccoon] 64 6 Mind Raper dropped [Average Health Potion] 64 5 Manbearpig dropped [ManBearPig Tail] 64 4 You are Victorious!
Six Superior Mana Draughts to beat that.

Crusade cleared, man that last round is kinda rough, used 1 greater, 4 superior and 1 godly mana draughts total, needed 1 greater and 1 superior to make it to round 69....
137 10 You gain 36122 Credits! 137 9 You gain 14169.75 EXP! 137 8 Your HP and MP have been fully restored! 137 7 Arena Clear Bonus!

Inspired by coredumperror, I decided to try the ring of blood. All were defeated at Lv. 51 using accumulated dropped items. [ i27.photobucket.com] http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/cro.../manbearpig.jpgWas almost blown to hell by global warming, but otherwise one scroll of the avatar and a PA spirit attack was the majority of the assault. [ i27.photobucket.com] http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/cro...whitebunneh.jpgEven easier, another avatar scroll (I've got plenty to spare) and a *refunded* godly spirit draught. [ i27.photobucket.com] http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/cronauron/Mithra.jpgNot much to say, but I did manage to evade undress. My character certainly has more willpower than I do... [ i27.photobucket.com] http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/cronauron/Dalek.jpgBy and far the toughest for me only cause PA never wanted to proc and I kept missing. Ended up using the most items (greater mana draught, godly spirit draught, avatar scroll, unnecessary life scroll, swiftness scroll). All in all this is my first actual HV achievement.

Catching up to Hito... well sorta. Doubt I'll be ready to try Endgame too soon, gotta burn few tokens of blood to see how I do on battletoads verses the bosses before I try it. *Edit* ya Manbearpig took 2 godly mana draughts, and 1 godly mana potion alone....so I'd need like 2 mana elixirs just for the last round.... and ouch at getting hit for 800dmg with weaken up.

Endgame is really the only thing that gave me any trouble. If you think 800 slashing damage with Weaken up is bad, you definitely won't want to know what Piercing damage does to you.

... ..... You're both fucking insane. Do you do those battles on battletoads normally, or was that a one-time thing? This post has been edited by DemonEyesBob: Nov 25 2009, 09:08

Up to Fresh Meat on battletoads semi-normally, Dark Skies and Growing storm probably done them around a half a dozen to a dozen times, and the last few I've probably only done once or twice at battletoads.

I don't even play the arenas on the first page expect for an occasional free heal and mashing one spell for some proficiency gain. Sometimes I don't even bother with the one boss arenas either since the relative EXP and credit gain (from the one trophy) are tiny and are usually a waste of my time.

Fresh Meat - Battletoads (after losing stone and field b/c of stupid crits).
87 7 You gain 1081 Credits! 87 6 You gain 22323.47 EXP! 87 5 Your HP and MP have been fully restored! 87 4 Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Greater Health Draught] 87 3 You are Victorious!
T_T
So many scrolls and draughts... and that's only 9 rounds... Idk how uth can do this shit.
Edit:
6 Scrolls of Shielding, 6 Godly Mana Draughts and 2 Superior Mana Draughts later: Growing Storm - Battletoads
93 11 You gain 1108 Credits! 93 10 You gain 29117.43 EXP! 93 9 Your HP and MP have been fully restored! 93 8 Arena Clear Bonus! Received: [Infusion of Frost] 93 7 You are Victorious!
W.T.F
I give up. I'm going back to doing this crap on Heroic and Nightmare, it's just not worth it.
It would probably take me 8 mana elixirs and 8 health elixirs and like 3 soul stones to beat power flux on battltoads, I have no idea how Uth did it. Also, as I've said before, Endgame is generally easier on higher difficulties than power flux, so you might not have too bad a time trying it Uth.

Even Endgame would be super easy if not for the boss smashing you while getting rid of the other enemies. I'll probably even start taking on page 2 with battletoads soon since the boss round is really the only thing that uses up mana items for me.

for killzone I needed 8 godly mana draughts and 3 mana elixirs, 1 scroll of the gods, and 1 scroll of the avatar.
But ya the big thing with Endgame is the boss...it would probably take 100+ rounds just to kill all the other guys with him, I'm just not sure I can stay up that long with a boss hitting me for 700-1000. Plus having to deal with the spirit attack for that long would be a huge mana drain.

Was gonna wait to try Dark Skies until I either got another Aura Slot, a new Aura entirely, or another item slot. But I decided since I had a couple of Greater Mana Draughts lying around, I'd take my chances. Of course it came down to me, a Peacock, a Hamster, and a Canuck, the worse possible combo so far for my Mage build. It's probably my fault for only using Weaken on the minibosses. Didn't expect to be wowed by the rewards, but right now I'm just glad I finally reached the point where the Clear Bonus is more than the Entry Cost. Though, since this was my first time trying, for all I know, I could've done this a week ago. ...well, since I pretty much level up every day or two, probably not.

Just Cleared Endgame on Hell, needed 7 godly mana draughts, and the last round took 237 turns..... Guess I'll slowly work my way up to trying it on Battletoads.

You're so weird~ Crusade only takes me 1-2 superior mana draughts and a scroll of shielding, usually only 1 draught if I take a scroll of swiftness too, and I usually don't need to use the draught until the last round. It's definitely easier than both Sealed Power and New Wings. Yet you can do Endgame on Hell, which I probably can't without all godlies. Weiiird. Thinking on it now, I could probably do it (Crusade, not Endgame Hell) with a single greater mana draught and two average spirit draughts (which I have a stacks of). On the other hand, I have not got a single piece of equipment from crusade, it's making me very sad :'( Also, my last attempt doing it had two lvl.172 bosses and one lvl.171 boss (I'm 172), and took one superior mana draught. Godly Draught in return *sigh*. This post has been edited by DemonEyesBob: Nov 26 2009, 15:54

Well the past few times its taken 2-3 greater mana draughts, that first time I was just super cautious, so I used more mana then I really needed, now I usually don't need any potions till that last round, I guess I could probably cut that down if I wanted to spirit nuke one of the bosses down right away. I've only gotten cotton crap from Crusade so far... If I got decent second winds I might be able to do it without any items but I don't seem to get any mana second winds after round 20... Oh and the biggest reason I can probably do the harder settings when you can't is the way my gear is setup I take less dmg then you at battletoads, but probably take slightly more then you at normal. Since my mitigation is low but my evade is high. This post has been edited by uth: Nov 26 2009, 19:21
