Super sneak!
Super sneak!

I don't think I've seen one of these before but I still don't think it would help my terrible keyboard skills.

Yay, Poison Ivy Boss Battle!



And after much keyboard-mashing, wrist-cramping, button-bashing, die-then-repeating, etc.
I beat her. I beat her! And...

Two health bars?

TWO HEALTH BARS!?!

Two health bars AND more henchmen!

way to go Ivy!

Three health bars?

Thankfully not!
Phew. I was worried again but it was just two.
I do hate the two health bar thing. Some of the Titan baddies have three separate bars but at least you can see them all at the start. But when the second one suddenly appears right when you think you've won, that's when the hate flows.

Game's not finished yet, though. Joker's having a party now and I suppose I'm invited.

There are some Champions and sometimes quest/plot characters like that in Guild Wars 2, too... But when it's a quest character it's usually so you follow the character to another location or something. And Champions need groups/crowds to take out anyhow.

Haven't been making much progress in GW2 recently. Kessex Hills is filled with nasties that kill me and there was no-one around to revive me.
The last time I played I think I died about four or five times, first as a result of lots of sharky things, then after abandoning that quest some child-kidnapping bandits kept overpowering me. The only thing I completed on that day was a strange bull-escorting quest.

I don't remember the child kidnappers.... Maybe I'm too old for them
But Kessex Hills shouldn't be too hard... unless you did your usual exploring faster than levelling up....

I don't think it's a levelling issue this time. I just seem to be getting ambushed by lots of enemies at the same time. It was even worse with the sharks cos I can't really swim very fast to try to escape.
Both of my characters are now in Kessex Hills and both keep dying a lot. Perhaps they should team up to fight.
