Okay, it's time for some major spoilers! In this entry, I'll be revealing the name of each Chapter boss in the game, and provide some details on their appearance and/or strategy.

 

Prologue: Granja (Ta)

If you've played the Demo, you'll realize that this isn't really a spoiler. Anyway, on to some tips: If he stops for a second, run away from him; he's about to do a jump attack. Also note that he does a second, smaller jump attack soon after.

 

Chapter 1: None (Onu)

Yup... there's no boss for Chapter 1. It's mostly story events that take place. There is a mandatory ambush fight, but it's a cutscene, and you don't do any real fighting.

 

Chapter 2: Lokanna - Mutant Aquatic (Ga)

I actually drew up some concept art for this thing, but have lost it since then (it was a while ago). Anyway, it's a combination of a sand shark and a squid--the tentacles replace the tailfin, and it uses those to attack from a distance. I'll try to find the artwork for it, but it's not that high on the priority list.

 

Chapter 3: Kraatoka - Consumed Parasitic Host (Po)

This is set to be in two stages, and will probably take longer due to the fact that you have to defeat the Kraata that accompany it separately. I can't be any more specific than that, since it'll spoil just a bit too much for my liking.

 

Chapter 4: Vatuka - Mobile Biotic Geomass (Onu)

Well, I did say it was returning, but this time, it's a very different battle, and will be a challenge for me to program, since it involves a lot of synchronized, choreographed rock movements.

 

Chapter 5: Krystaal - Posessed Cryogenic Spirit (Ko)

This one's a bit harder to describe: You'll be trying to dodge both the mobile ice spikes lining the walls and this chunk of ice, which is being controlled by a spirit through the Matatu inside.

 

Chapter 6: Malu Nui - Predatory Mutant Fungus (Le)

This is a giant fungus that's infesting the roots of the Great Twin Trees. I still have yet to plan out this fight, since it involves making fungus menacing (no easy feat) and incorporating that dungeon's Tool, which is not usually useful in a fight (unless...hm... that might work... sticky fungus would be disgusting but plausible...).

 

Chapter 7: Twinblade* - Mechanical Swordsman (Ta)

This is set to be a frantic battle: Just your party against a machine that has similar capabilities: Jumping, Dashing, Projectile attacks, etc., and, during later portions of the battle, is actually a bit faster than you are. Watch out, and bring plenty of healing items.

 

Chapter 8: Granja - Rogue Matoran (None)

I won't reveal the location of the final battle yet, but I will say that Granja is still the final boss, unless you've completed all of the major side-quests. Then, it's different, and not to be revealed now.

 

Side-Quests: Klarex* - Gyroscopic Mechanical Defender

I will reveal, however, that Granja's Hideout, the mini-dungeon where you meet Pokonas, is still in the game, and will be expanded for a side-quest, which ends with one of the toughest bosses in the game, second only to the secret final boss.

 

*-Name may change before final release.

 

There you have it; all of the main bosses in the game. The minibosses I'm not going to reveal just yet, as they are the means of getting the Tools that allow progress through their respective dungeons. I would like to (sometime soon) show one of the miniboss's inspiration--an old MOC of mine that I'm modelling it after. I suppose I'll reveal its name, if nothing else: The Krawkin.

 

On the progress side, I'm currently mapping Ga-koro and working on an official banner. By the way, Demo 2 is going to cover up through Chapter 2, which includes the fight against Lokanna. Unlike Demo 1, however, it won't end at the end of the battle and leave you hanging. It'll end probably around the time you return to Ga-koro, and allow you to explore and tackle the first accessible side-quest of the game. Also, the side-quests I'm referring to are going to be based on a specific character, like the ones in Chrono Trigger. The one you'll be able to access in Demo 2 is Onuka's, and you'll be able to start Garan's, but not finish, since it will involve exploring all six Wahi to complete.

Cool, you gots a blog! Glad to see you're still working on RPGs, and I assume Gold means that you'll finally be done with Taluka Chronicles after this. ^_^

 

It's not often a developer goes to the Blogosphere, so here's a house (or Blog)-warming present:

Thank you, Emzee. Now, how, exactly, am I supposed to add this to the blog? (I'm still a newbie at Blogging...)

 

And yes, this is going to be the final version of the game. I've got other ideas to take care of, but I shouldn't be saying anything about them yet...
