I Tried replaiyng Golden sun the lost age, got to lv 99, already beat the game,so i tried to kill dullahan, which is the hardest boss i ´ve ever faced on my life, yes,i already played Final fantasys,chrono trigger,dragon quest,persona,shin megami tensei, disgaea..... but this boss is just Freaking hard.
i tried looking for strategies on the Internet and found some good ones, but they took too much time...... instead, i sticked with my favorite strategy: ODYSSEY , ODYSSEY ,LIQUIFIER , DIAMOND BERG!! REPEAT!!
The Star Magician is considered to be the hardest boss in The Lost Age, actually. Regardless, I never got above level 46 average and beat every extra boss. Honestly, at the point when you have to fight him, Poseidon is easily the most difficult boss, at least the first time you play through. Dullhallan is probably the toughest in terms of brute force, but the Star Magician is tougher due to the different balls he uses that can be difficult to keep fully in check while still actually attacking the Star Magician himself. As well, if you don't keep the balls in check, they can undo everything you did, or kill off a party member before you can do anything about it.

Though, it's worth noting that in The Lost Age, the level cap is 99, but stats pretty much stop increasing after level 50. As well, bonus bosses are designed in such a fashion that they're difficult whether you're level 35 or 60. They're more a tactical challenge than a stat based one.

yeah, but i didn´t had problems with the star magician,i summoned granite and flash(tinder or corona , i don´t remember) they make most attacks deal over 20% of their normal power for 2 rounds, i think, and stick with 5 block psynergys like supernova,quake sphere and megacool.

Also, upped my high score on Kung-fu Ball on Rhythm Heaven Fever, now it´s exactly 1900

started playing final fantasy fables , chocobo dungeon on the wii, defeated the first boss, and to my surprise, the boss battle theme is the FF8 boss theme.

got through the train part on FF8 , the boss had over 4000 HP, but i won spawning ifrit and shiva, that dealt 400 and 800 damage, respectively.

Downloaded got some PSP games; the 3rd birthday, lunar silver star harmony, class of heroes 2 and jeanne D´arc.

I've accomplished quite a bit since my last post 4 days ago. I spent a good portion of my weekend trying to beat The True Arena in Kirby Super Star Ultra, but after countless tries I just can't get past the Galactica Knight (or whatever he's called). So I took a break from that game, and haven't gotten back to it.

Also, I made a lot of progress in the 3DS ambassador version of Metroid Fusion, despite the fact that I own the physical GBA game and my aversion to virtual console, because why not. I already had a partially completed file from months back, so I picked up from there (I was right before the part where you get the super missiles, I think?), and I've gotten all the way to the part where you track down the security robot for the second time. I'll probably pick it up and finish it sometime this week.

Probably my biggest accomplishment though has to be in Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. I've been in Zelda withdrawal lately since A) I've recently moved and don't yet have a practical way/place to set up my consoles to play Zelda and Zelda II and B) I've beaten every handheld Zelda except Minish Cap, which I can't afford at the moment. So on Sunday, I decided to start another OoT run since I haven't played it in over a year.

Originally I was shooting for a quick 1 or 2 day playthrough, but then I decided that I wanted to 100% it. I've never 100%'d a Zelda game before (even though it's my favorite series), and since OoT on the N64 was my first one, why not start here?

As of this writing, I've gotten up to Ganon's Tower. I have 65 Gold Skulltula tokens (far more than I've ever gotten in any previous playthrough), and have collected every heart piece in the game. I've also gotten the ice arrows, as far as optional items go. All I really have left to do is collect 35 more tokens, catch 9 more big poes for the fourth bottle, plant three more magic beans, and then beat the game.

I'm pretty freaking excited... This will be an accomplishment in the making since I was 8 years old (15 years!). No idea how long it'll take, but I'm determined to succeed!

Surprised girlfriend with the Tales of Xillia CE. Shes is a huge fan of the series and I went to great lengths to keep its existence a secret from her.

I've not achieved much so far today as I was working the late shift yesterday and as such haven't long got out of bed, but today's plan as I have the day off (YAY) is to raid PSN for some new games, likely get Worms so my mates and I have something to play as I only have 1 pad at the moment, then I'm starting White Knight Chronicles 1+2. Picked up WKC2 for £12.99 and it has the original on disc too. Bargain :)

Last day or so, I've been working on a non working 89 Pinball Machine (Mousin Around) and after 1 broken wire, 2 cold solder joints I got it fully working. It still occasionally throws a U42 pia error on boot, which after googling is dealing with the soundboard, but I believe the problem actually lies with the PSU. So I'm thinking after a PSU recap I've have it completely fixed. But playing it for the first time since getting it working was pretty cool.

Had to go to the computer store to buy a universal charger because my charger broke. (eventually it turned out it wasn't my charger that was broken but the jack inside my laptop, aaaaarrrrggghhh!!!!!)
Anyway, because there was a gaming store in the same street I thought about picking up a used game or 2 with the €15 cash I had left.
Couldn't stop myself and ended up buying 4 games: GOW Chains of Olympus, GOW Ghost of Sparta and White Knight Chronicles for PSP and Gravity Rush for PSVita.
God I get impulsive when there is money on my credit card!!!!

I've been going back with my best friend and replaying most of the Halo games I own and beating them on legendary.
As you can see from my sigs recently played games, we've gone through Halo 3, and Halo ODST so far. It's been a blast, the Halo Franchise is a franchise I hold to the highest regards. Even more then my fandom of Zelda.
Next we will be going through Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary edition (as soon as his copy arrives in the mail)

And maybe we will go through Halo 4 again =_=;
As much as I love the franchise I'm still bleh about 4 :/

Finally got some decent lobbies in Black ops 2. Matchmaking has been near broken on the 360 for months (some would argue it was never not broken),
but every once in a while it throws me a bone. Fast players, little or no lag, a smattering of less than stellar players; it made for a pretty fun morning.

Well for those people who haven't seen my status update, here's the scoop: I finished a complete playthrough of Chrono Trigger this morning. :lol: I should get back to Okami now; maybe I will in the next few days... I've got the CTBug and my only fix is to play it again; I'm actually already halfway done with another game anyway: Ayla's attack went from 218 to 233 in only 3 levels...

It's the Meta Knight, and yes, it is super hard. But now you can give some respect for my sister since she's gotten through there. I would watch her play it and she would make it look so easy.

Discovered that whoever had Sonic Generations before I did hasn't used the DLC code, so I got the Casino Night pinball stage. Yay. Now trying to decide if I shold pay the £3.69 for Sonic CD or just wait til I get a new PSP and emulate it...Might just get Sonic CD and Afterburner Climax. Will give me something to do while I wait for my new MP3 player to load. Friend gave it to me as an early birthday present along with a 32GB microSD card, but transferring all 20GB of my music will apparently take another 14 hours...my computer sucks, that's why.
