Ditto the Monster looks at the world of family friendly online games from a Fabricated American perspective

Wizard 101

Ditto really doesn’t like Queen Aryanah in Stone Town.

So Queen Aryanah Silvertusk has a headache… and Ditto needs to take care of that before he can help the student trapped in the zoo.  I really don’t like this queen, I have to say…  Ditto has to talk to the queen’s head of security, Hrathi again, and he tells Ditto to go fight the greyhorns making all the ruckus in the streets.  That’s right, I said ruckus…  So Ditto goes and puts the smackdown on some annoying greyhorns.

Of course after Ditto clears all the fire prisms, etc… out of his deck, the greyhorn is assisted by a fire enemy, who throws a firezilla on the first turn!  Anyway – it’s a pretty good fight, With Ditto showing those annoying rhinos who’s the boss….


Ditto goes to the Zoo!! Oh, and there’s a wizard held captive there.

Ditto has finally found Hrathi Irontrunk’s pen and parchment, and returns to get the royal order.  Ditto heads to the Zoological Garden to speak to the evil captive wizard — who ends up being one of the missing students!!  He wasn’t a nasty evil wizard at all, just a poor lost student!  Bugs attacked him and the group, and then didn’t understand that he was a victim — they thought he was an agent of the zebras and kidnapped the prince!!  A frightened prince that they keep in a zoo!  That’s pretty awful, actually…

Ditto ALSO takes a tour of the most amazingly fun zoo ever!!  There’s a full sized Firezilla, and ice cats, and these cure little gobbler thingys!!  I love it — I spent bunch of time exploring and seeing the animals!


Old McDitto Had a Farm… Contest Time!

Well May is here and Ditto has a fresh new contest – this month is all about farming!  That’s right, Ditto has seed packs to give away – these contain random seeds AND Moolinda Wu packs – as well as the BIG prize – the amazing Red Barn Farm House (with additional castle elixir) .  Now this is serious farming – Farmville has nothing on Ditto and the Red Barn Farm House!!

To Save the Spiral, Ditto must recover…. A Pen?

Ditto is once again at the Darjani palace (and finds another game of Shock-A-Lock!) – he has to get the queen’s ring as the royal seal for a royal letter to get him past Rocksteady to interrogate the wizard prisoner. However, the captain of the queen’s guard cannot complete the royal letter, because some bad guys stole his pen and they are too tough for him to fight – so he asks Ditto to go and do it. Yes, you read that right – the big tough war elephant captain of the queen’s guard is sending the student from wizard city against some big tough fire bad guys to recover his pen. His PEN. Seriously – I would just go and buy him a new pen if I could….

Anyway, ditto fights some of the bad guys, and naturally doesn’t find the pen, so there will be lots more fighting and stuff and Ditto will make another video once he gets that done…


Ditto meets the queen in Stone Town

Ditto is back in Stone Town, and after defeating a bunch of bad guys right there in the courtyard of the palace, Ditto finally get sin to see the queen! It seems that the Queen and the resident sof stone town think that the Zebras stole the elephant prince, and now Ditto not only has to find the missing Wizard City students – he apparently has to stop a war! How’s that for an extra credit assignment!

Ditto has to talk to the queen’s guard to try and sort out the situation, and learns that they have a prisoner who is confirming the kidnapping story! Ditto really needs to get to the bottom of this, but the rhino guarding the prisoner – named RockSteady (kinda) – won’t let Ditto investigate with the proper documentation. Seems a bit suspicious to me!!


Ditto is Following the Yellow Arrow to adventure!

So, it’s been a while since Ditto has played Wizard101, and I have pretty much forgotten what I was doing.  Luckily, there are handy yellow arrows to follow that will tell me where to go and what to do.  First, the arrows tell Ditto to talk to the Librarian, Kilman Copperleaf.  Apparently Ditto fought some bad guys and recovered the pages of Kilman’s favorite book. That was nice of me.  Next, the yellow arrow tells Ditto to go defeat bandits in the market to find a purse, so Ditto does that too.  Overall it’s a fun way to get back into the game and remember what we are doing…

That’s right folks, it’s Contest Time again at Dittomonster.com!! This week we’re celebrating the awesome ‘Mount-A-Palooza’ at Wizard101, and to celebrate, Ditto will be giving away DAILY PRIZES!!

Ditto makes it to Stone Town, immediately gets in a fight…

Ditto makes it to Stone Town as an envoy for the Oliphant Queen – but the guard can’t take him to the queen until he fights off some bad guys. I have to say, this is a terrible plan – the guard is afraid to leave his post because of the bad guys are all around, but if he can’t see them then he can leave his post? What if they are hiding, or they just left to get ice cream and they come back while he’s gone? It really is a terrible plan…

Ditto does go through his deck and discusses the best way to fight fire minions, since the Rain of Fire spell does minimal damage on the first hit, which is where the prism conversion kicks in. In a case like this, even though it might take longer to get two Efreet spells out, the damage is much higher due to the prism converting all of the damage to ice.


The Winners of the ‘Where’s Ditto’ Contest!

Here are the winners from Ditto’s ‘Where’s Ditto‘ contest – this was a fun contest to do, and I’ll probably do more of them in the future.  Maybe next time I’ll hide in three locations and you’ll need to find all three, something like that.

For this contest, I was hidden in the School of Tempest in Pigswick Academy in Wysteria – I thought it was a good hiding spot! (more…)


Handyman Ditto fixes the Zafarian Queen!

In the last video Ditto was able to get the steamship boiler back, but the captain can’t fix his ship, so once again we have Handyman Ditto to the rescue!! Ditto heads to the library to find  book about fixing steamships – see, libraries are awesome!  The instructions to fix the boat are really cute.. one of the many fun little touches I love in Wizard101.


Ditto Recovers the boiler for the Jungle Cruise…

Still adventuring in Zafaria, Ditto now needs to get the boiler for the boat so he can go on the jungle cruise and go talk to the elephants… You just can’t make this stuff up, folks. Of course nothing ever goes as planned and Ditto ends up getting into a fight against some fire foes, and doesn’t have a single fire prism – time for some big volcano action! In other news, I have to admit – the T Rex rampaging through the savannah is one of my favorite things ever.


Ditto follows the little yellow arrow in Wizard101

It has been over a week since Ditto was able to log into Wizard 101, and I really didn’t remember what I was doing, so I just followed the little yellow arrow and it led me on all kinds of great adventures! That’s a great feature of Wizard 101 – you can’t really get lost.  Very helpful for a furry orange monster who can be kind of forgetful sometimes.


Ditto’s March Contest – Where’s Ditto?

So Ditto has a brand new contest running for March, with some pretty AMAZING prizes! The contest is very simple – but it could be pretty tricky, too. To enter the contest, look at the screen shot here and tell me where in the Spiral Ditto is – it’s that easy.

Ditto faces Shaka Zebu, greatest living Zebra Warrior!!

Ditto has the magic hatchet and heads to the palace to destroy the evil spirit vine that is corrupting the great baobab within!  He faces Tse Tse Snaketail, who manages to steal the magic shield artifact and then sends the possessed Shaka Zebu and a Carrion Flower warrior to fight Ditto.
The fight goes mostly according to plan, but Shaka Zebu is a fearsome warrior and Ditto needs to call in some extra help in the form of a hired life henchman to help him win the duel. Once Shaka Zebu is subdued, Ditto is able to defeat the evil vine thingy and free Shaka Zebu from Tse Tse Snaketail’s evil spell!


Ditto gets the ‘Rain of Fire’ Pyromancer spell – Full Walkthrough!

As soon as he hits level 68, Ditto is summoned back to Ravenwood School to learn the amazing new ‘Rain of Fire’ spell from Professor Falmea!
Of course not everything goes as planned, and learning the new spell takes Ditto from Wizard City, to Celestia, to Dragonspire and beyond!!

This is the full end-to-end Walkthrough to get the spell and, at around 22 minutes, is probably Ditto’s longest video ever!


Ditto visits the Tranquil Grove and does Tranquil things.

Ditto heads into the tranquil grove and talks to Queen and Princess AutumnRain – they are so nice. Ditto has lots of quests to turn in to the Princess and gets access to the Star School trainer – hooray!
Then Ditto talks to the Queen and learns that he has to take his magic choppy thing and dislodge the evil vine spirit thingy form the great magic Baobab to save Shaka Zebu.
Finally, Ditto goes wandering about Zamunda helping people and finishing up a bunch side quests before facing the evil in the throne room!


Ditto’s Mount Contest Winners!!

So here they are – the winners of Ditto’s great Mount contest!  Ditto asked everyone to write in and tell me what mount they would want to win, out of the list of codes he had, and then I chose winners randomly (using random.org) from all entries – and I got a LOT of entries!   So here’s the list of lucky winners!!

(more…)


Ditto faces Zanga Zebu!

Once he defeats the lesser minions of the dreaded Tse Tse Snaketail, Ditto has to face one of the greatest Zebra Warriors of all time, Zanga Zebu, under the evil control of Tse Tse.
This is an interesting boss fight, mostly because Ditto forgot to equip his boss fighting deck, and has to use a lot of strategy to beat Zanga. Well, if by ‘strategy’ I mean ‘throw as many fire dragons as possible at him’.


Ditto enters the Sacred Tomb of Kings in Zamunda!

After collecting the magic smoke dust or whatever it was, Ditto can enter the sacred temple thingy!  Ditto has to light the braziers in the right order to open the big door, then fight his way through several chambers to face down Tse Tse Snaketail and his evil minions – including Ditto’s long-time nemesis, ICE SPIDERS!  But even though Ditto makes short work of the minions, the worst is definitely yet to come!


Friendship Festival Contest! Ditto’s Mount Mania! Pick a Mount, Win a Mount!

Here it is, another fun contest for the Wizard101 Friendship Festival!!  Ditto has been given prize codes for a bunch of AWESOME mounts, and I am excited to give them away to my fans!  So how can you win a mount?  Well – just tell me which one you want, and you’ll have a chance to win it!

Ditto’s Video Bloggy Thingy Feb 1st, 2013

Hello, it is the Ditto with another Video Bloggy thingy!!  Ditto has been a busy monster this week, oh boy!!  But before me get into all that, I’ll start like I usually do – the Twitter report!   (more…)


Ditto meets King Shaka Zebu – and the news isn’t good…

The great mystery of Zafaria is starting to become more clear! Much like Ditto’s previous adventures in Mooshu, Shaka Zebu, the great ruler of Zamunda, is under a terrible spell, tied to some creepy sickly baobab tree!!

Unfortunately, news of the kings illness is spreading quickly, and there are people rioting in the streets!! Ditto must act quickly to quell this civil unrest!


Ditto Investigates Tse Tse’s hut and meets lovely Queen Amahle

Ditto is still in Zamunda (how big is this place?) investigating that nasty Tse Tse guy and finds – get this – black and white paint. Like he was physically painting rhinos to look like zebras. Seriously? This is the worst scheme ever! The good news is that Ditto also levels up – yay!!

So once Ditto finds the paint he has to take the evidence to Queen Amahle AutumnRain – which may be my favorite name in the game so far. It’s a very pretty name!


Ditto in Zamunda – A bucket full of water… Elementals?

Ditto finished showing the water elementals who is boss, having defeated a whole bunch of them. Once he has completed his final battle, he is able to – I kid you not – put the water elementals in a bucket and use them to put out the fire!
I know the water elementals are trying to beat me up and everything, sure, but this just seems cruel and unusual… well, it’s definitely unusual!
Ditto finally completes the quest and heads back to town to see what’s next…
