Hey, wait a minute! I tried out Trio just now and WTF are these things?!

(IMG:[gannonman.com] http://gannonman.com/image/HV_%20Trio%20monsters_655069375.jpg)

LMAO, I just thought I'd get a few bosses and then a Legendary and that would be it, but I got a bunch of weird shit. Never heard of these monsters before. But it was kinda fun doing all those rounds.

I killed Yggdrasil but Urd did me in because I ran out of items. Hito! Hold me!

Killzone cleared!

I'm a moron and forgot to copy the battle log, but it was quite surprisingly easy. I blame X-Attack.

It took me 4 Greater Manas Draughts and a Superior Health Draught, but I could have done it with 4 Averages, cause I had a bunch of leftover mana at the end. The EXP in there is awesome!

Just managed to finish Endgame and Twisted Plots back to back. I'm so happy!

Feast For Crows, Normal down. Used 4 Godly Mana Draughts, a Superior Mana Draught, and a Shield scroll. It was a lot easier than Exile, actually, and I probably could have done it with lesser items but I brought the good stuff just in case. The hard part was that it was long. Long grinds in GF and IW are easy because I can go on autopilot and its no sweat if I lose, but I have to focus for arenas. And it gives a ton of XP along the way, holy cow. 4 more levels and then I can take on Sealed Power and get me a new title.

Just beat Feast For Crows for the first time. I used 5 godly mana draughts and a scroll of Avatar. I employed a completely experimental strategy which was either a smashing success or still needs a little tinkering with, I'm not sure which.

END OF DAYS CLEARED!!! (77 Legendaries + 1 Boss)

The final round turned out to be one of the possibilities I suspected.

Mithra was completely outmatched
(IMG:[i422.photobucket.com] http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp308/hitokiri84/EoD150b.png)

21 2 Mithra has been defeated.
21 1 You hit Mithra for 269 crushing damage.
20 6 Banish hits Mithra for 6040 holy damage.
18 5 Banish blasts Mithra for 9554 holy damage.
16 4 Banish blasts Mithra for 6281 holy damage.

After being super careful not to let my HP drop below 4k

Finally, I can stop bitching about End of Days and start bitching about whatever hell spawn Tenboro has concocted for the next arena challenge.

Suck

I bet it would have been a different story if that Cockatrice had been something like a Tentacle Monster. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Sadness. Predictable, but still sad.

HAHA! I was thinking something like that too (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

About 2 days overall but it would probably take about 9-10 hours if that's all I did.

Congrats, End of (2) Days clearer. I wonder who you got Mooglemail from at the end. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Meanwhile, a much less impressive...

Dark Skies Cleared!

(IMG:[gannonman.com] http://gannonman.com/image/dark_skies_554346719.png)

Second attempt today, third overall. Used 1 Avg, 2 Greater, and 1 Superior Mana Potion. This was a wake-up call. I now see why you guys bring such high-grade Mana items into Arenas, and will have to seriously upgrade the Inventory I bring into an Arena from now on.

Earlier was my debut to the Arena as a DW Elemental Mage. I had reset myself to include a lot of Tier 1 magic to conserve MP in early rounds and just a few HP Tanks. I ended up getting beat down in the 6th Round.

Reset again with no T1 magic and a lot more HP Tanks. That (and the +400 HP from the extra HP Tanks) made the difference, as I was down below 400 HP a few times.

I still have 4 more Arenas to clear before Endgame. That, and another Level and half to gain but, I am holding 18 AP back to fully exploit Level 100 Abilities. Hello Soul Power, Spark, Cure II, and Violet Aura II. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I just noticed that this shattered my All-Time EXP for a Round record by 600 EXP.

I'm pretty sure it's just Norse Mythology since there are plenty of other references to it in the HV. It's probably just a coincidence that Ah! My Goddess is loosely based on Norse Mythology as well.

Anyway, here's my Heavy scouting report on "The Twilight."

(IMG:[i422.photobucket.com] http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp308/hitokiri84/twilight.png)

Not very inspired challenge design IMO. I was expecting glittery vampires and werewolves. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

No really, I was expecting a Legendary + Boss at 100. Serious attempt will have to wait a day or two.

I don't think the Trio are supposed to be some ditzy anime chicks... But then there's Mikuru, so who knows?

Dark Skies Cleared!

I've been doing a lot of arenas as a mage recently, and oddly enough when playing on Normal I seem to use less mana with a staff than I do with 1H+Shield. I haven't quite worked it out yet, but it could be something to do with the fact that most minibosses don't live long enough to make it worth my while Weakening them...

Anyway, today I tried Endgame with a staff for the first time... and used more mana items than usual. That White Bunneh at the end ate up all the mana I'd saved and then some. I suppose I could just have hit him over the head a few hundred times, but I suspect it wouldn't have made much difference what with all the supportive and deprecating stuff I'd have to keep up. So it's back to the good old Rapier for Twisted Plots.

Nah, you don't *need* an ethereal weapon to damage any of the other three legendaries. Mikuru should take about the same amount of damage from your attacks as Konata did. It's Ryouko and Yuki who take 1 dmg from physical attacks, but they are fairly susceptible to Holy and Dark damage. Admittedly, a 1HS plate tank isn't going to do too well casting offensive spells, but you can substitute that for a really strong bleed axe.

LOL, no. I thought I'd give Mikuru a shot just now since she was next on the list and I felt like doing something different. 1 damage. Fuck that noise. Oh well, I have more Tokens than I know what to do with so taking another stab at her won't be too difficult later on.

EDIT:
Just looked at the battle log again. One of these things is not like the others....
60 7 Regen restores you with 115 points of health.
60 6 The effect Bleeding Wound on Mikuru Asahina has expired.
60 5 Bleeding Wound hits Mikuru Asahina for 259 damage.
60 4 Your counter Mikuru Asahina for 127 points of soul damage.
60 3 You block the attack from Mikuru Asahina.
60 2 Your offhand hits Mikuru Asahina for 51 soul damage.
60 1 You hit Mikuru Asahina for 114 soul damage.
What the hell?
