Oh I was playing on HardMode. Folks, Hard will take you several hours just sitting there waiting for your dragon to kill.

For Normal (and Hard) Mode, you can just block the path from the enemy to your character to all regeneration. Wave 7 on Campfire and Giant's Domain are easy grind levels for items and leveling.

One level in all basic skills then I leveled up Cast Rate and then regen first.

Quick note: if you're trying to get gold or level up, DON'T end your game thinking you'll be right back where you left off. You lose ALL the exp in your bar AND all your gold when you do this. Very Diablo II-ish. And trying to get from level 38 to 39 in hard mode when there are scorpions that can mow you and your party down in seconds is NOT fun.

Yeah, I am at the scorpion part right now. I'm currently level 36. I'm not looking forward to the 9th level of this area. The one with 20 enemies.

And yeah, he needs to fix that. Some of the equipment can take a large deal of farming, as can the levels. Is pretty disappointing losing it all when you get back on.

To get the medals to show up on the game pages if you're not using the classic layout, disable the adblock filter on cmpstar.com

Also, is it just me or is the "x / y" missing from the right end of the medal block on the game page?

Deploy the... it's a yellow button... it's usually flashing... it makes the engines go... whoosh!

You only need to get to level 49 to get the magic medal. Still takes awhile though. Boy I killed alot of shrums. Shrum Sensation is great for farming.

Wave 7 is nice to grind too on Valley. Trust me, Giant's Domain is a cinch. Run en around so they get nice and tight in a pack and whack away at them altogether. If you do it right, your life steal on that many enemies will be good enough to hold you at full health.

In other news, I've contacted Psy about adding a "resend medals" button to Revert to Growth. So we'll see if anything comes of that.

Looks like the scheme, but it's not; just race through the instructions, then go back in and wait 5 minutes, and you'll get both medals.

Boring-ass game though.

All of the Revert to Growth medals seem to be working now. Opposed to one still being glitched last night.

Click the walkthrough. Then click solutions on the king.com page. Another page will open, play an ad, and then a whole in game walkthrough will be clickable.

Yes, because it's too much trouble to constantly support multiple versions of the portal, classic view is going to stay 100% classic and get none of the new api features. After looking at our database we found less than 0.1% of our members even use it. And since those few fear change so much... we'll keep you safe from new stuff >_>

Wow, so you try to force people to use the new layout? Ha! It doesn't work! I won't change to the new layout! It looks ugly!... well, not exactly ugly, but I just like the old layout better. Never change a running system... :/

I'm just wondering how come the people in the top list of game medals seem to have the fear unlimited medals unlocked (since that game got deleted from the medal games)

Man, it's been 3 weeks since I've been here since I was in the hospital and there are a lot of new games with medals out there
Got most of them yesterday and I'm trying to get some more this evening

These scorpion levels are making me very angry. My mage, which is the main damage dealer, seems to want to follow me step for step now. Instead of staying out of the line of site, no matter which direction I point the scorpion, he seems to step into the attack range. There is nothing I can do to stop him from killing himself, and once he's dead, I can't kill anything.

I'm not sure what to do.


Happy

Heh, I just played Toss The Turtle for the first time in weeks and now I finally managed to hit the UFO on my second run.

Lol XD

Didn't like the game that much, but a 100 points medal for finishing it is not bad. Plus I was very bored anyway.

That kinda sucks. I prefer the classic lay-out over the newer one =/ Guess I'll never know what medals a game might have, but the surprise might make it all the more fun.

In the game, there is a medal list. Above where you can choose to launch your rocket again. Those 5 medals are the ones that give you the newgrounds medals, and it tells you what you must do to get them. Such as grow a total of 300 plants and grow 50 plants in one level.

Oh and I got a red axe as my second drop with an attack of 60 and I'm trying to figure out if that's a rare item or not?

It's common if your on hard mode. And you can buy them at the shop during either the Graveyard levels or the crazy King Saul levels on easy.

I got the rare on my first playthrough. Look at the icon for the rare achivement, and you'll get that medal in-game once the boot drops.

So to speak.

So I just read three pages....ok so i just skimmed three pages to try and catch up. What I have gathered is that;

Revert to growth medals are ALL working now?
Dragon Boy is challenging and time consuming but all medals are working?
Seven's Second Adventure all medals work, and I DON'T have to do the illiterate/literate two tab trick?

is anyone working on a guide for dragon boy?

And is there anything really important I need to know before jumping into any of these three games?

I personally use swords. They have decent attack speed and decent damage. Maces are fine too. Axes aren't something I would try though. I don't know how speed is effected when using a mix though.

I got the rare item drop as my first medal. It's a foot dropped by giants I believe. Or at least that's how I got it.

What are the odds of getting a medal resend button for revert to growth? I really don't want to play that game again...

Will never get to level 6 because I don't want a black hand as my avatar. Is that racist?

It sucks, but it doesn't take long. the launch button should allow you to get the end game medal. But for the keys, you have to go through and get them again. You'll need to anyway for the 300 plant medal.

Actually if you mix a sword and axe together there is somewhat of a faster attack. Just check.
