Go! Go! How far along are you?
Who?
Good luck girl.
As of now, Gizamaluke is a dead fish monster!Go! Go! How far along are you?
Maybe I was lucky, but Gizamaluke's Grotto was pretty easy! I petrified the first pair of Mages during my first battle (or was there a second?) with them; the second pair of Mages were petrified after five to seven different battles, although I lost half of my stock of Potions in the process (one of them was a real soldier, and I spent about thirty minutes trying to petrify him); getting Quina's HP to 1 took ~15 tries; and Gizamaluke was defeated quickly, of course!
The GameFAQs guide for this challenge is faulty, by the way. Real faulty.

You guys are zipping through this challenge. Where are you at now, Croyles?
Prior to fighting Beatrix in Burmecia, reviving Quina with 1 HP took only four tries! Haha!
The pair of Mages in Burmecia were easy, too. They were practically running away from me! That's how tough I am!
So, I went into the giant tornado.
The first part of the siege on Cleyra (fighting Alexandrian Soldiers in Cleyra's trunk) was easy! Yeah! The second part (fighting in town) I tried to do for about two hours before I was successful. I battled Beatrix just a few minutes ago, and, now, I'm on Brahne's airship! Phew.
Despite that, the most frustrating part of this challenge - so far - is following Hyprophant's guide. It's confusing, because it's poorly written. It's forced me to reset many times - most recently because it gave me the wrong directions in Cleyra.
No! The correct order is right, left, and right before Zidane says, "We're not safe yet," and sends the survivors to the cathedral.

I got the ocean chocobo, still need 2 chocograph pieces but i think their available after i get the Hilde Garde III. Im now levelling up thievery (SOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOORING!).
Any tips for what the easiest setup and place to level up thievery is? Dali or beach south of choccobo forest? Somewhere else?
I wont be able to play much for a while unfortunately because I gotta work a bunch, but i'll definitely get back to it.
Oh and congrats MB on getting that far already.
Yeah that guide is frustrating but its the only real lvl 1 ozma guide there is and considering that, he did a very good job.
BTW, I should have said this earlier, but did you get the Reflect Ring from Treno?
Powering up Thievery takes forever no matter where you go. I can't remember exactly where I leveled it up, but I think I just chose a place where the enemies were easy to steal from, and came in pairs. Remember to save every 15 minutes or half hour as you're leveling these skills up. I found it refreshing to do other things to break up the tedium. Take a break every now and then and tackle some other little errand, like synthing 99 cotton robes for cash a few times for money. You might also want to take a trip to Vile Island to get the friendly Yan, and grab virus for your party members--you'll need it.
Dragon's Crest doesn't take nearly as long to power up.
I'd love to do the level 1 challenge for this game, but I think my chance has past. I'm not going to have enough time for years now, I don't think. Good job though, you guys.
How come you don't write your own guides? Or at least take notes on what Hydrophant has got wrong or done badly, then edit his one? Or ask someone else too. I'm sure there's a few people here who would happily write up a better guide for the site, and they'd most likely be even happier if they could just copy and paste the good bits from Hydrophants. xD
I kind of did in my thread, but it gets really discouraging to put so much extra effort into it when nobody really shows any interest. That is why I stopped reporting on my strategies after a certain point.
It's really a shame that these threads get so little recognition here, because it is really discouraging for those who take on a challenge, and dissuades others who might otherwise be interested from giving it a go, themselves.
I can't imagine the writing of the guide would be that difficult, as long as you had all the information and research down. I'd quite like to see guides like this put into the site, because the challenges are probably very popular. And as is apparent in some of these posts, Hydrophant is an illiterate moron who can't seem to remember what actually happens in the game long enough to report it accurately, so it would be nice to have some info. that I can trust to be accurate.
If I ever do get round to doing this, or any, challenge, I'll see about writing my own guide and chucking it up on the forums. I've always been pissed about the clarity of most (all) internet guides: "which smurfing left? Oh brilliant, I died". I kind of wish I'd written a Halo 3 Legendary Solo guide when I did it, because I did something completely different to what the guide told me and it took a lot less time that it usually does.
I think the only reason no one is interested in these kind of threads is because they just cant imagine themselves ever doing them lol.
Hydro is NOT a illiterate moron, yes the guide has a few mistakes but it has mostly been helpful.
Actually, I believe that English is not his primary language.
Exaggerate for fun.
I did!
