Last night, I finished VNOLG. Level 48. Had waaaay too much equipment to go through. Bought a stone ripper just before the little quest for the stone ripper. Man, I wish I could recoup some of those stone shards. (I played as Nuparu, so stone shards went to my weapons.)
12 Attack
14 Defense
21 Technique
A high Technique makes the game a lot easier: Defense becomes less important when you're dodging the attacks, and Attack rating can take a back seat when you keep dealing critical hits.
Equipment for the Vezon/Fenrakk fight:
Defense Great Kanohi of Air
Heavy Attack Armor of Stone
1 Stone power launcher
Soulstone (unused)
Heavy Defense Greaves of Air (something I bought with the 50 Air shards I had....I had 70 Fire shards at one point)
...and one hand tied behind my back.
Vezon was gone with the last shot from the power launcher. Yeah, I had another one in the other hand: it just went unused.
I was amazed how few problems couldn't be solved by the judicious use of a power launcher and a harpoon.
Thanks, lavaside rahi (if you still read this blog), for the walkthrough, and the driving home of why you shouldn't face Vezok before Reidak. I've got a few other glitches for you, too.
Now, at what cost did I defeat the game? The late nights I've spent trying to put the quest in the "complete" column have left me sick. Literally.
I've caught some kind of bug. Cough + cold + bleh = Flu - fever = what KIE has right now. And I haven't gotten a flu shot yet, so that's something else I need to get better for.
If I'm laying low on the longest 2-day weekend of the year, you now know why: I'm curled into a ball in bed, trying to sleep it off, complete with orange juice IV.
