HCBailly and JB play Secret of Mana - Part 39 of 41


Now that we're in the Mana Fortress, we'll be facing a few bosses before facing the Mana Beast.



If you can get your magic to 99 experience points at Level 8 (which is shown in the magic level screen as "8:99"), you can get some alternate animations for the spells at random. 

The Whimper enemies can cast Wall on themselves and Earth Slide on your party, and they have a chance of dropping the Javelin's Orb. The Valkyrian is the best javelin weapon in the game.

There are a few bosses in the Mana Fortress. The first is Buffy, an obvious "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" reference. Buffy can cast Freeze on your party and also petrify them with Leaden Glare. Buffy can also cast Dispel Magic. Since Buffy is a palette swap of the Vampire, it fights more or less the same way. Lucent Beam will do a lot of damage to Buffy.

The Mana Fortress will not drop weapon orbs. To get weapon orbs, you'll have to get them from Mana Fortress enemies at random.

The next boss is the Dread Slime. The Dread Slime will grow as you do damage to it, and it is a palette swap of the Lime Slime. Because of that constant growing, unless you have a lot of Faerie Walnuts and strong magic, you probably won't make it out of this battle alive. Dark Force is the best magical attack you can use against it. Also, Dread Slime loves to use Acid Storm.
