So Madame Jasmine and I, following hot on the trail of Meowiarty, enter Counterweight West and begin the long climb to the top. This is the intro to the dungeon and our first battle, which we won handily. Sadly, I think this made us a little too cocky, because this would be the only duel we won on the first attempt in the dreaded Counterweight West….

So after defeating the evil Katzenstein, I was told that there is a secret, secondary boss called Smogger in the lab that gives a special title and some good drops. I decided that this sounded like a fantastic daring adventure and headed back into the dreaded Katz’ Lab to find and defeat Smogger.
The area was easy to find – right inside the lab itself, on the left, there’s a platform. When you walk onto it, the narrator tells you to find some boards and build a bridge. It took me a little while floating around on my Koi to find the boards and, once I used my handy-dandy carpentry skills to build a bridge I found Smogger, a rank 7 storm boss with terrible dialog. He had 4,000 health, which I think is the biggest thing I’ve ever fought thus far…
I did try something new – I hired a level 60 life henchman early in the fight, in the hopes she would help keep me alive during the epic battle. I have to say, the henchman was a mixed bag – she burned my feint a couple times with low level rank 1 or 2 spells, which was unfortunate, but she also healed me for 1000 points a couple times and did, in fact, keep me alive throughout the fight, so she did do what I needed her to, it just made dealing 4,000 points damage take a bit longer.

Anyway here is the epic 13+ minute video that details every part of this exciting side quest. If the video is just too long let me know, I can break them into more digestible chunks in the future.

I will wear my title ‘Smogger Smoker’ with pride!

PLOX!!
