Hahahahaha I'm glad you're impressed, Travis! That's a good idea about the platforms, I hate when the bosses move away from me when I move in to swipe at them with my swords. Oh! I made a True Excalibur sword, but it's apparently just slightly weaker (only going by the damage stat) than my Corsair. I did notice that when I equipped my Avenger Emblem, that my sword's damage increased and was 75, I think. Without that Emblem, it's just 68. It's interesting how that keeps changing, but I think that's because I change out my equipped accessories here and there. That said, I'm thinking of writing about what I have and asking for suggestions. It's kind of hard to decide which accessories to equip. I don't think I used my Avenger Emblem enough and I want to try to remember to equip it when fighting these bosses.

That said, I just got the Nazar I was looking for and I believe I can make my Ankh Shield. I'm not sure if my world has oceans big enough for sharks, but I'll go look for them. I also plan to build a sky bridge so I can get up there for some Souls of Flight (but I've pretty much already said all that).

As for the armor, it's kind of hard to decide which to use, but I think the Turtle Armor set is probably the best as it has the highest defense stats and makes attackers take damage, too. I haven't decided to stop mining Chlorophyte because I might try that armor set. As for magic, I've hardly messed with it at all.

I'm afraid of getting to the point where I don't know what else to do in the game, I don't want to stop playing! If I'm able to beat the remaining bosses, I might try out the console or mobile versions of the game.

Hahahahaha! Indeed! I greatly appreciate the gift!

I'm afraid I've reached that point. I'm not sure what else to do now except wait for an Eclipse so I can (hopefully) get another 2 Broken Hero Swords so I can make a Terra Blade. I did make Fairy Wings and found to Floating Islands, I still needed to build a sky bridge to reach them, which I made of bone. The wings are nice and make my character move faster with jumping and flying. Still, it seems the Jet Pack is better, so I'm waiting on the right moon phase so I can buy it from my Steampunker.

I tried to defeat Plantera again and failed. It's that second form of it that's so difficult. The first form hardly does any damage to me. I'm thinking and hoping that having a Terra Blade will make the fight easier. I also fought the Twins again, but the one I didn't defeat flew away at dawn, so I didn't beat it in time. I did create a Megashark, but it seems that the Star Cannon might be better, although that means I need to collect more Fallen Stars.

Thanks, Jon! The only thing I've used Chlorophyte was for the Turtle Armor set. I read that Chlorophyte ammo is the best, so I'm trying to mine some for that, at least. I may have to try out the Chlorophyte Armor. Travis, I wish I knew what else to do. I wish I could beat Plantera and the other 2 hardmode bosses and get into that Temple, too. I'm a bit lost right now as to what to do. Oh, and Jon, I look forward to another Terraria update, but that would stuck if they stopped adding to it.

Cool, I'll look into it. I've mined some Crystal Shards to make Greater Healing Potions, but I'm thinking the easiest way to get those is to defeat the Destroyer. Anyway, I got real lucky tonight! During an Eclipse, 2 Broken Hero Swords were dropped! Now I have my Terra Blade and I just reforged some of my accessories to boost my defense. I believe my Terra Blade has a damage stat of 102, my defense is 82, I think.

I finally beat Plantera! It was very difficult! It kept beating me even with my new Terra Blade and using an Ironskin Potion, Regeneration Potion, Gingerbread Cookie, and my accessories with upgraded defense. I noticed that I had brought it down to less than 700 HP. I kept fighting it in a Bee Hive so that I could get the regeneration boost from a small area of honey. I had one little platform to get around him, and I was also using a Jet Pack. When my HP got extremely low, I noticed I had maybe less than 15 seconds to use a Greater Healing Potion, so I left the Bee Hive to escape Plantera for long enough to heal. Luckily, I did managed to escape, although it did chase after me, but I finally healed and beat it shortly after. Now, I'll be able to get into the Jungle Temple. I also read that after Plantera is beaten the Paladin will spawn in the Dungeon, so I might want to go fight that, too. I may have to fight Plantera again, though, because I have a Frozen Key Mold and a Hallowed Key Mold, so I'm going to need another Temple Key or two.

Cool strategy. Thanks for the tips. Like I've said, I haven't messed with magic yet. I've done some ranged weapons, mostly a Boomerang (one of the first I got was Enchanted and now I have a fire one) and then the Star Cannon (I have over 90 Fallen Stars now).

Sweet. Well now I have over 100 Fallen Stars. I've been mining Chlorophyte, too, but haven't made any bullets yet. I made my way into the Jungle Temple and beat the Golem. It wasn't that hard, really. I beat Plantera again for another Temple Key and I need one more to make my Hallowed and Frozen Keys. Then I'll head into the Dungeon so I can unlock chests that I've been unable to open and fight the Paladin.

I defeated Plantera another couple of times to get the two more Temple Keys I needed. Then, after realizing I needed more Souls (of Fright and of Sight) to make my Hallowed and Frozen Keys, I beat the Twins and Skeletron Prime in the same game night (summoned separately). I also bought some Pumpkin Seeds from the Dryad and have almost harvested enough Pumpkin to make what I need to do the Pumpkin Moon event. I'll also collect what I need to do the Frost Moon one, too. I'm also planning to make my way into the Dungeon to open those locked chest I was never able to access and to find the Paladin (perhaps for the Paladin Shield).

Other than those things mentioned above, I'm not really sure what to do next. I noticed, though, when I find new ingredients and look them up, I find more things to do. For instance, I noticed that sometimes a temple will be spawned in the desert, that might be something interesting to try and find (perhaps by creating another world or more until it's there). I may even just start looking up different items (or ingredients) to find out what else there might be that I can do. While looking up the Moon Charm that I got during the last Blood Moon (I think I got 2 of them), I noticed a Neptune's Charm that requires Coral, which I don't think I've seen.

All that said, I'm still open to suggestions as to what else there is to do in the game. I feel like I'm drawing close to being done with it, which I'm not very fond of because I've really been enjoying this game. I think I hate that feeling when you're pretty much done with a game (or have finished one) and don't know what to do next.

I just received my 8th Pokemon Badge. I think my Venusaur is over level 70. I've been using it since I got a Bulbasaur because I wanted to use Sleep Powder to help me catch Pokemon. It's still in my top slot and I pretty much use it's Mega Evolution each time. I also caught the legendary Pokemon, but saved my Master Ball and used an Ultra Ball. Now, I guess I might try out the Pokemon League, which is usually quite difficult in every Pokemon game. This is about the point where I sometimes stop playing a Pokemon game because of the level of difficulty of the Pokemon League. That said, we'll see how it goes.

Awesome!

The earliest (or oldest) Pokemon game I've played is Pickachu Yellow. It was almost 10 years ago. I also forgot to mention on thing I really like about Pokemon X, it hardly takes any time at all to save the game, it saves very quickly! I am now on Victory Road.

Jon, if you play Blue again, feel free to comment here and let me know which starter you choose, or which you plan to choose. As I've probably said in this post, I almost always go for the blue (water-type) Pokemon, just because blue is quite definitely my favorite color. =) That said, I have no idea who my favorite Pokemon is or what type I like best. Sometimes I think I like Ghost- and Dragon-types the best. I remember when i first saw Sableye, I thought it was an awesome, adorable, Pokemon, but so many of them are. Do you have a favorite Pokemon or type? I've also never played against anyone (real person). I always seem to play against types (such as using Electric-types against Water-types). However, that's not always the case as I'm still using my (level 73 now, I think) Venusaur in pretty much every battle I have now because it's so powerful. =)

I believe Travis has given Pokemon a try, but I don't know to what extent.

That's awesome, WBS! I've just been going through the game from one place to the next, catching Pokemon as they appear. I did put my starter (now a Froakie) in the Box along with Blazekin. I'm working on evolving the Pokemon that are in my box. Since I made it to Victory Road, I noticed I needed Surf again, so I took out Froakie and taught it Surf. I caught 2 Pikachu, not paying attention to gender, hoping to breed for a Pichu. Luckily they weren't wasted as one NPC wanted a low-level Pokemon, so I gave him one of my Pickachu. I'm going to see how Victory Road goes, but I imagine by the time I reach the Elite Four, I'm going to have to get out my final team (whoever they are, I don't know yet) and level them up to beat the Four.

Last night, my son beat the Elite Four and the Champion. He said it was easy and difficult. LOL

I'm going to have to talk to my son more about the Elite Four. I made it, but was defeated by the first of them. Granted the only really strong Pokemon I have is Venusaur and that's no good against Fire-types, especially the Fire- & Flying-type that used Brave Bird a couple of times to defeat me. LOL

Awesome!

Hahaha, that's awesome since Venusaur has been ruling my X game, sadly I don't think it's going to help me much with the Elite Four.

I just noticed, I've only spent 32 hours on Pokemon X. It does seem like I've made it to the Elite Four faster than normal. I think there's a good reason for that, the way the EXP Share works. I think I've been doing much less grinding than I normally do in a Pokemon game. That said, grinding is exactly what I'm doing now that I know my team is not even yet set up for the Elite Four. Still, what I'm doing now is taking Pokemon out of my Box that will evolve by being leveled up. After I'm done with that (I only have 3 full Boxes of Pokemon and a 4th one with a few in it), I'll probably be putting my end-game team together and getting them leveled up enough to beat the Elite Four.

Wow! Venusaur is level 96! It seems to me that in other Pokemon games this was a difficult level to achieve. I'm debating with myself on telling you who I've chosen for my team to fight the Elite Four and the Champion. I don't really want to give too much in spoilers, yet it's probably safe. From what I know, you're definitely going to have a well-rounded team as the last 5 Pokemon trainers have various types of Pokemon. I'm currently working on getting my team prepared by grinding on Victory Road.

One final note I wanted to mention about the game and that is I like the music. At times it reminds of Final Fantasy (I'm thinking it must be FFXII that I'm thinking about in particular). Anyway, all-in-all, I think it's been a great game and I'm working on finishing it so that I can play The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. What comes after that is beyond me, I have no idea.

I finished the game! I pretty much overpowered my final opponents. =)
