Ditto Faces Malistaire, Part 4 – knock, knock…
Ditto and his merry band make their way through the labyrinth that is The Great Spire, and come upon Malistaire’s very interesting security system… First, the team has to split up to fight two different groups of opponents that are keeping the portal to Malistaire’s office sealed, and then once through that portal, we need to fight a group of scary Soul Servants, while Malistaire hovers in the background doing something very naughty, I’m certain…
Overall, I love this quest and want to do it more – it’s difficult, yes (as it should be), but it’s also really well plotted out, and every fight seems to make sense, you feel like you’re progressing and undoing a lot of the things Malistaire has done before you…
Tomorrow – the big battle!! Ditto (and his awesome and very capable team) and Malistaire!!
Ditto Faces Malistaire – Part 3
We moved further into the Great Spire and faced the Gurtok Piercer, a giant ice boss that looked like a frosty Helephant, and two ice minions. I don’t believe this fight was required, but apparently these bosses drop really good loot. This was a tricky fight, possibly because of all the tower shields that were getting thrown, lowering our damage output. I do get some solid hits in with Fire Dragon, and the final blow was my Fire Dragon Damage Over Time, so I felt pretty good about that.
More great adventures in Malistaire’s Lair tomorrow, and the final battle (All nearly 14 minutes of it) will be posted on Wednesday, just in time for the Ravenwood Radio 50th episode live broadcast!!
Ditto Faces Malistaire, Part 2 – Fire Fight!
Ditto and his team head deeper into the Great Spire and face their first fight, a team of fire enemies. This is the first time I really see Fallon in action, and wow… I’m a pyromancer and even my mind was blown at her damage output…
Needless to say, the fight was a lot shorter than I imagined it would be against enemies of that level, and we were victorious. After this battle, I was far less worried about our chances against Malistaire.
After the fight we headed up this cool giant elevator – I didn’t get much video, but it was really cool! The Great Spire is amazing!
Ditto Faces Malistaire – Part 1
Part 1 of my epic Malistaire battle – I meet up with Fallon, James Lifecaller, and Elijah Lightthief at Dragons’ Roost and head deep into The Great Spire to face our destiny!!! Don’t worry, there’s LOTS more video to come – I’m still editing and uploading. I’ll probably post the first duel video today too…
Jotun falls… and so does Ditto’s camera!
So I decided to try my skills against Jotun this morning – it was kind of a last minute thing because I wanted to play more Wizard 101 but the quests I was on in the game – Jotun and Malistaire – I wanted to make sure I got on video. I set up and headed into Grizzleheim and made my way deep into the Hall of Valor and faced not only this massive 9000 health storm boss, but also his brothers and some red-shirt minion who I immediately felt bad for. (more…)
Ditto Takes Flight!! My thoughts on Wizard 101 so far…
On February 17th, 2010, a furry orange monster named Ditto started playing a game called Wizard 101. The very first day of playing this fun and magical game, as part of the game’s own introduction, I met a very scary wizard named Malistaire, and since that day, through multiple worlds and 51 levels, my quest has been to track down this evil wizard and put a stop to his nefarious schemes! (more…)
Ditto completes the Drake Armor!!
After many long battles, Ditto finally has gathered all the pieces so that Vidor can complete the amazing and powerful Drake Armor! the moment is almost at hand for Ditto and his faithful sidekick Madame Jasmine to be whisked away to face the dark and malevolent Malistaire!! (more…)
Ditto starts forging the Dragon Armor!!
After many, many fights to collect the items needed to light the great forge, and then many more fights to collect the junky Draconian armor to use as scrap metal for his dragon armor, Ditto needs to collect a final ingredient – brimstone – and then start forging the new dragon armor! Of course, once he’s almost complete he learns that he’s not quite done yet… there’s still another dungeon that stands between him and Malistaire!
Ditto learns the final secrets of the Dragon Riders
After defeating the mighty Kraysys, Ditto recovers the final knowledge crystal holding the deepest secrets of the Dragon Riders. He replaces the crystal into the chamber of knowledge and learns all about riding a might drake.
Once he learns these secrets, Ditto is ready to take flight… but Vidor Drakesmith tells him he needs to forge armor for his drake first… and of course he needs to defeat a bunch of random creatures in order to light the forge and create the armor… Here we go again 🙂
Ditto and Paige MoonShade versus Kraysys!
As I was battling Kraysys in Dragonsyre – and losing repeatedly – the wonderful Paige Moonshade showed up and offered to lend me a hand (which I gladly accepted!) With her expert help, we made short work of the terrible storm boss and his overachieving fire spider minion, and I was finally able to recover the book I needed to continue my studies as a dragon rider! Thanks so much to Paige Moonshade for her help!
Ditto battles Kraysys and loses… a lot…
This was a really difficult fight, one of the hardest I’ve ever had. Kraysys is a storm boss with a fire spider minion, and the combined damage they deal is insane. At one point, I was take out by a double-smash of stormzilla followed immediately by a firezilla… This video is just an edited down version of the three unsuccessful duels against the mighty storm boss…
Learning to be a Dragon Rider, Part 1
In order to be a real dragon rider, Ditto must learn all about this secret and noble art… Following the wise tutelage of Vidor Drakesmith, Ditto begins to learn the ancient and awesome art of Dragon Riding! It even includes the care and feeding of your drake – how cool is that?
Ditto teaches the baby drake!
After many long battles to find and hatch the last of the dragon eggs, Ditto has finally hatched a cute and cuddly baby drake! Now, after talking to the ancient dragon matriarch, Ditto must bring the baby drake to see the other ancient dragons to learn the lessons of dragonkind. It’s really very cute and touching…
Ditto hatches the drake egg, part 3
SO after fighting 17 Gallium Juggernauts, Ditto has finally recovered the sacred Crystal Hammer, he must hatch the egg on the special platform, that is of COURSE guarded by someone big and mean and nasty, Viktor Snowcrusher! What a name! It just so happened that there were already a couple wizards fighting Viktor, so I asked them if I could join – because that is polite, Ditto never just jumps into a fight, especially a boss fight – without asking first. We finally take out Viktor and hatch a very cute little baby dragon!! I didn’t edit these two videos together for some reason, that’s why it’s in 2 parts… It’s all the same segment though.
Ditto Hatching the Drake Egg, part 2
Back at the Ancient Matriarch, Ditto learns of the sacred crystal hammer, needed to aid the baby drake in hatching… of course like most things in Dragonspyre, the hammer was taken by the forces of evil, so Ditto must fight about a hundred Gallium Juggernauts to win it back… Ah well, it’s all to hatch a wee baby dragon, so I was totally OK with it…
Ditto Hatches a Drake Egg – Part 1
Now that Ditto has rescued a rare Drake Egg, he needs to hatch it – the Ancient Matriarch once again leads the way and Ditto has to head to Golem Court in Wizard City for some special flame to warm the egg.
Here’s a tip – the ‘warming the egg’ portion of this is very quick, so set a teleport marker at the Ancient Matriarch to get back and finish this portion of the quest more quickly.
Ditto Seeks a Drake Egg, Part 3 – Valeska Redwind
In the final room of the ‘Secure House’, Ditto faces Valeska Redwind, who is very cranky and not a very nice person. This is a pretty good fight against a Myth boss and an Ice minion. The Ice minion goes down pretty quick, but I have to take Valeska down point by point, finally defeating her with a wand spell of all things. (more…)
Ditto Seeks a Drake Egg – Part 2
Still battling through the oddly named ‘Secure House’, Ditto faces off against a terrifying pair of enemies. For a Pyromancer, an Ice enemy can deal heavy boosted damage while tossing up lots of shields, and a serious fire enemy has major immunity to fire damage, minimizing even the best attacks the Pyromancer can unleash. Put these two enemies together, and your friendly neighborhood furry orange monster gets VERY nervous… An intense battle to rescue the last of the precious drake eggs!! (more…)
Ditto Seeks a Drake Egg – Part 1
Now that I have the fabled Dragon Rider Staff, I need an actual dragon on which to ride… So I go and speak to the ancient dragon matriarch, who sends me on a quest to seek out the last of the drake eggs… Something tells me this isn’t going to be easy…
Ditto completes the Dragon Rider’s Staff!
After a lot of hard work and SO MANY duels, especially against spiders, Ditto has finally completed the awesome Dragon Rider’s Staff! Next up, I have to find a drake to ride into battle!
Ditto’s House-A-Paloza contest – The Winners!!!
So here they are, at long last, the winners of Ditto’s House-A-Palooza contest, all randomly chosen from the qualified entries that were sent in, and all winners have already been notivied via the email address they entered the contest with.
I got so many great entries, thank you so much for sending them in!! There were a bunch of people who even sent in pictures to go with their monsters! I had a great time reading your entries, and I hope you had fun entering the contest! Anyway, here are the winners:
Why couldn’t it be spiders??? Ditto versus Chronius
So, still working on that Dragon Rider’s Staff, I need to get a jewel crafting table that was stolen by a big mean fire boss, Chronius. Why I can’t just go to Ikea and find their nice ‘Jewel Crafter Table‘ I have no idea…
So of course the boss AND his minion are huge, cranky, and mostly immune to fire, so this was a LONG fight… but a fun one! If you’ve got twelve minutes to kill, check it out in it’s entirety… (more…)
Well, At least it’s not spiders…
After fighting 437 crystal spiders to get the spinnerets needed for making my crystal staff, I have yet another quest to continue on the path to Malistaire! At this point, I think she could tell me I need to defeat the Dragon Titan himself, using only a spoon and some twine, and I would grateful for it, simply because there are no spiders involved…
An unnecessary change of location…
So after defeating about a hundred spiders for little miss ‘I can’t be disturbed’, she decides that she STILL can’t work in her shop, and we need to relocate to a tower in the middle of the spider-infested Crystal Grove. Ah well – it’s not too far to travel. Of course once we get there, I have to help her get more equipment so she can work, and what’s the FIRST thing I need to get for her? (more…)
