It's okay. I had fun guessing and would have asked you to give the Steam game to someone else anyways.

congrats to all new ys achievers.

just wanted to chime in and let everyone know that i obliterated the second boss in origins, it never even stood a chance. once i learned that i was immune to its acid bubbles during whirlwind the whole debacle felt a little unfair for the poor cretin

Whirlwind doesn't give you iframes it just breaks those bubbles before you can walk into them.

I beat The Beast pretty easily but now Trident Girl is pwning my rear end.

My tip for nightmare runs of any Ys game is that one level makes a drastic difference between victory and death. It's kind of shocking how much a single level can do for you in the series.

You can't gift people multiple copies of games they already own so I have to copies of Ratz 2.0: Instagib for the runners up.

I'm being murdered by the first boss of Ys.. Is he supposed to be this brutal? I've noticed that leveling up makes a huge difference in how strong u are, maybe I just need to kill some more stuff.

In Ys III leveling up is extremely helpful, for sure.

Yeah when I made that post each one of my attacks did maybe 1/100th of his HP but then I leveled up twice and killed him in 4 hits. Lol.

This is true in all the Ys games. I don't know the detail of the math but it can definitely feel like some bosses are just level gates. I don't mind grinding a level or two though because the game is fun to play and it will take about 5 minutes to gain a level.

i've bested epona, but she was tough for me, not insanely tough but a big step up from the last two. I just unlocked the bolt strike ability and it really owns... its a good game, gamers

the visceral joy of seeing "BLOCK" BLOCK" "BLOCK" as you perfectly time the skill to parry/nullify enemy attacks. frankly, its a very nice reward to the player.

I said it already probably but in Ys III as a kid I could never get past the Tigray Quarry (Forget what it's called in Oath) until I learned what hill to stand on and tape down the attack and up buttons overnight.

Does every single enemy have unique dialog? This game is epic.

I feel like she hurts me too much and I don't do enough damage. What level were you. Maybe I just need to go back and clear that other branch (i went left and straight to the boss). I did not forget the Ring Mail & I blessed it.
