Also how does krevs have 24100? Where does he have 110 points that I don't? I thought this "removing medals thing" was supposed to get rid of broken medals adding to your score. ie shift 4

According to ng logs, she has two medals that I don't and 85 points ahead...

How the hell is that? 50 point and 35 point medal? Does that even exist?

That sucks. Also, Dragon Boy is AWESOME. Finally started playing it today, and I've gotten every medal save for the Beat Hard Mode and Max Your Magic medals. Currently a level 43, and haven't had a single problem with a single level yet.. I think everyone who died playing some of these levels and couldn't get past them just doesn't know how to maneuver around to challenge certain enemies 1 on 1 or in groups that work so you'll stay alive. It's all about patience.

Yeah, let's see you say the same thing once you get to the Blob Bonanza level on Hard Mode and you start with 8 blobs within inches of you, and about 7 more off-screen.
I can't wait until you get there. :D

If you didn't bother to notice, NGLogs counts each medal on your stats page. Its not currently pulling the total from the main userpage.

if your having trouble with that i would consider taking them one by one go to the bottom of the screen and go one by one

... I was at The King on Hard mode when I wrote that.. I just haven't beaten it yet for the Magic Stats. I haven't died a single time on Hard Mode with the exception of a few messy Shrum runs when I first started doing them. I love this game, but it's not really that challenging though if you take the time to play it safe when you need to. And Oh Snap is easy as hell, just divert the scorpion's attacks towards you and not you and your party, take down 1 scorpion at a time by running around and luring enemies where you want them to be, either on screen or off screen, and it turns out to be just a really repetitive game on Hard Mode, yet still incredibly entertaining.

Did you really think I was a level 43 and still hadn't beaten Blob Bonanza?? I started Hard Mode as a level 31..

I went through Hard Mode so quickly the numbers just didn't click when I read your post.

I'm too lazy to run around and have some kind of a strategy in Dragon boy, I just move step by step until my mage can fire his orb offscreen, and then I wait

That's like the slowest way possible.. Unless you upgraded Mystic Orb & Cast Rate all the way up first.. Haha that would take SOOO long though for sooo many levels.

===Dragon Boy===

Just got Merlin's Apprentice at Level 49 with the following magic stats:
Nova: 10
Frozen Armor: 8 (Last point I put in)
Regenerate: 10
Mystic Orb: 10
Cast Rate: 10

So that was weird.. I thought I'd have to be level 50.. and even if I was a level 50.. It still wouldn't be maxed out magic stats.. anyways.. off to beat the game! :D

ie shift 4

I just checked the logs, and she has 3 more than you.
my guess would be a 25 medal, a 50 and a 10.

i didnt find any that you didnt have though...

Is there any way to disable the viewing of Medals in the profile?

Can you make a video of it? I have no idea how I should split the scorpions with hundreds of skeletons behind my ass.

No, but you can edit the layout..why would you want to do that anyway?

Yeah it would appear that the difference between the total here and the difference between logs is exactly 1000. And the difference between me and krevs is 110 points which is exactly the 3 medals from shift. Havn't tried those medals in a few weeks, maybe i'll give it a try.

I have my first final today from 2-4.. Maybe after though? It'll be the first video I've ever made for a game, but it won't be that accurate because I'm a Level 49 now and I was probably like a 36 or 37 back then.. Not to mention I just beat the game, so I start all the way back at Camp Site Level 1.. We'll see though. What video recording software do you suggest I use if I do it?

What you should do first is immediately run down and to the left at the start, if you're lucky your mage won't die right away too, because despite popular belief she actually isn't that weak and will help speed things up by like 30%. Use a weapon with knockback so you keep pushing back the skeletons and giants into walls or obstacles (staying at a good distance so they don't hit you but you keep hitting them back into the wall.. or if they even hit you it doesn't matter cause they'll freeze and you'll have regen all the way upgraded by then and hopefully some weapons with health steal).

For scorpions just keep their shots diverted away from your team and only aimed at you. If you're good at maneuvering around without drawing too many enemies for you to handle onto the screen, the best way to take care of scorpions (and everyone actually) is to get them trapped between you and your dragon, where you two will continuously be knocking them back and forth for major damage and sometimes this causes them to even glitch and not attack cause they get thrown around so much.

Chances are your mage will die cause she's stupid and follows literally right behind you most of the time and scorpions kill her pretty damn fast. If you're patient and want to play it really safe you can lure a few guys into a group at the edge of your screen (after the initial battle when you run down and left to get away from everything) and let your dragon just fire away at them for awhile.

I'll let you know if I decide to make a video for it tonight, but I have another final tomorrow and one I have to take by Friday so the video might not come until this weekend. Again, it will look way easier on mine though because of my high level and magic stats, but the basic principals for the level remain the same, just I'll have more health, take less damage, and do more damage. So play it safe and run when you or your teammates need to to regenerate health and use the enemies off-screen "no movement" to your advantage.

I've found the fastest way to level in the history of gaming: In Dragon Boy, just keep doing Stone Head over and over again, using your mage's Mystic Orb to kill everything from the starting position. I've gone from level 10 to level 21 in about 20 minutes, and it only took that long because Mystic Orb was very low level when I started out. I'm now levelling every 3 visits, taking just over a minute per level. When it takes 4 visits to level, it'll take as long as a minute and a half per level.

Not the most exciting way to play the game, but possibly the most efficient time-wise. Also, Hill-top level 8 is great for farming because of the Revivers. You also get experience when a revived enemy dies, so you can just keep killing them over and over, picking up their drops and getting experience each time until your Mystic Orb kills the Revivers, and then do it all over again. Really fast money earning and dragon growth there.

I might be the only person who's going to legitimately get the full grown dragon before beating Goliath. How much health do I need to get him to?

I used the same exact strategy, it makes the game way easier leveling up early too. Good luck with the game!

Ya I found that Wylo's "best way to gain experience" levels aren't that accurate. Doing mini-bosses and redoing bosses seems to be the most efficient way to gain experience fast. Although Shrum runs are the best way for later levels on Hard Mode definitely.

600

Second Level on the training area actually gives the most after level 40 or someit. I measured pixel-by-pixel.

I got my dragon maxed before the second boss, but I know to farm early on in those types of games, and buy 'food' from the merchant.

that's damn right, Drop the Bomb, MY AMAZINGLY RANDOM LUCK'S GONNA BLEED. YOU. DRY!

AND I'M GETTING THEM.

Has anybody realised a big huge add-on on Time Fcuk?

Time Fcuk, by Bluebaby Type: Game Rating: Ages 13+

Hmmm. Its not hard to miss actually. Hehe. The addition of a cool bit to show you were all the user generated levels are, and what they look like!

Sorry I didn't make it sooner!! It only took so long cause I didn't play the game until like 2 days ago.. Next time I'll try to be more prompt with it. =)

Honestly, it was the single most boring medal game I've seen yet, and I literally won it by walking aimlessly until I saw that I had both parts of the pick. The only real "trick" is to make sure you go all the way to the end of the screen when you reach the end of a path.

Also I'm writing up a bunch of gameplay tips for Dragon Boy, which I'll set up as a news post on my profile. Wayne, I'm including that list of the best items and giving you credit for compiling it. Right now, though, I'm coding a website while my dragon levels me up in the background. Maybe I'll take a nap while it continues doing it...

Whoa, that's great! It seems that the new level-sharing API is really taking off, hope it gets used in more submissions, can't wait to see what's capable with this.

Great! Now you just have to win Someone Set Us the Bomb to be a champion.

Try this to get the merlin's apprentice medal in dragon boy. Finish the game with one skill point still available. So level up before you finish the game and don't add a skill. I think that was a bug that allowed me to get the medal. I was level 49, killed the final boss on hard, and then it showed I had merlin's apprentice. I checked my stats and I had forgotten to use the skill point from my last level up.

He's still missing Marathon Grill, too. Speaking of which, does anyone know if there's a way to get that without having the game glitch? I got it by having it glitch out on me such that it kept giving me questions without giving me points for answering them. Old game, I know, but still... curious.

Does anyone have any advice for Oh Snap on Hard? If I could just get to a spot that doesn't have scorpions I'd be okay, but they're everywhere and I can't herd them because they all fire at different times. I'm using the top-tier axe, top-tier mace, and second-top tier everything else, and I'm level 47.

Nah, I got with the glitch, otherwise you just have to be amazingly lucky and get only really low numbers...

Wouldn't you know the very next time I attempted the level I cleared out the bottom left corner and beat it? Post Legend for the win.
