Title: I've done the energy and beast bosses, what now? (possible spoilers for newbies)
Post by: rixtorin on May 17, 2010, 06:54:36 pm
Hello, I'm a new player on Aquaria. Now, I've got the following.

Energy form
Beast form
Nautilus pet
Arnassi Statue
Turtle egg
Urchin costume
Crab costume

I've defeated the nautilus miniboss in home waters, which got me the nautilus pet, and the crab miniboss in Arnassi ruins which got me the Crab costume. I've also found a few ancient turtles. But now I've beaten Mithala, I don't know what to do.

Preferably up and left first, but that's only my opinion.

I've just done the sun god and nature god, and got their forms, but now I'm stumped on the fish form.

Stumped as in you don't know how to obtain it but are already in the fish cave?

It is a riddle. And, as often, singing is the answer. Since it is the fish cave, you even have an audience! :D

All I can get out of the notes I found is that they light up the fish. :(

Try singing the note a bit longer and explore in the cave.

If you ran around a crowd of kids holding up some ice cream, what would they do? :3

Oops. I guess my metaphor went undetected. :S

Anywayy... the fish cave is colorful ^.^

I've got the fish form and spirit form, and there's this crab boss in the frozen veil that fires bombs. All I know is that it dosn't appreciate having a nature branch shoved up it's bum (i.e. a charged nature shot).

There's also one other thing it's not very fond of. Which is silly, really, since there's just so many!

The bombs? I know I can bind them.

Drop the bombs right next to the boss (after knocking him down) and they'll blow up and hurt him.
That guy is possibly the hardest boss in the game.

EDIT: found an old video

wish I still had that picture I made, but the imagehost died suddenly

I tended to just hang onto the bomb and sit on him, soaking the explosion with a Turtle Soup or something. Got tired of the dropped bombs falling away from him before exploding.

There go the subtle hints. >_>

I was hoping that rixtorin would realize that since you can bind the bombs, you can get close to him after you've natured him down...

Oh well.

I didn't eat anything on that boss. Yay tadpoles! xD

They're colorful, make little flashes of light, and sound like magic wands too! ^.^

[off topic]
Speaking of colorful flashes of light, I hate spinning in dual form to pick up items. I keep thinking I might give myself seizures.

Good luck on the crab! =^.^=

Thanks For the help! I get rid of him in a minute, cos right now I'm inside *insert spoiler here*

Oh yeah and I found some treasures and a secret boss and some verse eggs. ;D

"secret" boss? o.o

I thought all the bosses were rather well known... hence the term "bosses"? ^^;

Probably "optional" boss like the crab or the jellyfish. Ones you have to hunt for.

The jellyfish of doom made me laugh the first time I saw it. And then I died. And it was less funny. :(

I just beat the jelly king.

I thought I'd try some of the recipes and overpower myself just for fun. I ate: swordfish roll (had blaster pet), tough cake, spider roll, spicy roll and veggie soup. Then I swam, constant firing, in circles.

It was a piece of cake and not even necessary to eat the jellies away.  ;D

He was pretty frustrating to me, until I got dual form. Going in there with a charged scream really helps.

I was about to give up on him and get dual form first... and then he died. And I had a sliver of health. That was great. :3

Blaster pet? I never used anything but the piranha. He just shredded things. Heck, once I got Li and fishy following me around, I hardly had to do anything.

God, the Jelly King was the most tremendous waste of food of all the bosses. I didn't have Duel at the time, you see. T_T

Oh, and you could bind those bombs? FFFFF--- I beat it by timing the branches so that I run into one of its bombs next to it, detonating it to damage both of us. And healed via the Jelly King suit. I had no idea there were tadpoles I could've used or that Bind would've worked. Jeez, I played that about as badly as it's possible to get... at least I didn't waste food. xD

I just kept running around for the jelly king and... well I bound the bombs for the crab. I did it in the reverse order, of course.

Normally I only use the piranha too. Especially because if he eats enemies who can shoot, I can use the shooting in beast form too. :)

I've always wondered why Naija sometimes randomly eats stuff even when she's not in beast form. o.o

It's likely your piranha pet doing the eating, not you. For some reason, when fishy eats something, it acts like you ate it instead. Useful, though. Power up beast-form shots without being in beast form!

Now if only there is a pet that powers up dual form.

That wouldn't be overpowered and trivialize anything at all! ;D

Maybe you could unlock it after you get to the hallway right before the creator. :3

A speed boost as powerup in dual form could be nice and not turn up your firepower past where it is, maybe.

I guess. :3

I think we're really, really off topic in this thread, but did this thread ever really have a topic to begin with? o.o
