The Ghoul and the Pocket-Watch of Nightmares

K, this is part two of Firecat Alley, will be covering the bosses in this post.

I'll start with Wormguts, he wasn't that hard . Plus his buddy got wiped out with a single Firecat, which makes it a lot easier :P 


Additionally, I have this.


Patchy: A Wizard City boss shouldn't have such a dangerous artifact...

You're no teacher yourself.
Next up, Melweena. Three guesses for what happened to her XP

Pick a card, any card!

Bastilla Gravewynd is the second-final boss of Firecat Alley. To break the fire elves' curse, you have to snip off a lock of her hair for the cure. Fortunately, bug spray does not exist in Wizard City.

Patchy: I don't have a pair of scissors with me right now, so a scorpion spell will have to do.

This works too! Somehow....


Finally, after curing several elves, the last boss Prince Alicane Swiftarrow waits for you inside the Fireglobe Theater. I was pretty lucky that a Storm wizard was ready to go in, so we fought them together. The battle ended in a few minutes thanks to her hard-hitting Lightning Bats.

I could have finished him with a scarab, but I wanted to show off :P

 Patchy: To think the prince of fire elves can be defeated so easily... Guess fire elves

 Triton Avenue will be featured on the next post, then I'll wrap up Wizard City with the Haunted Cave and Colossus Boulevard. In the meantime, to anyone who's reading, here's a question for you:


Where's your favorite place in Wizard City and why?


Post your answer in the comments. No need for an essay, just keep it simple :D


As for me, it'll probably be Triton Avenue.  There's something about Four Falls Mill and the Kraken's circle in the middle of the water that makes me love the place. not to forget Crab Alley below!


It's definitely the waterfalls.

Firecats and Firerats

Got started on Firecat Alley today, one thing I almost never seem to notice here is probably the beautiful scarlet (sunset?) sky above the street.


Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailor's warning


I decided to start on the sidequests first to get some more exp as well as some hard-earned cash. Shelus wants me to get back some stolen treasures and to help him make his pocket harpsichord.

FYI, this is a harpsichord.

Patchy: Pocket-sized? That's....not bad.


First thing Gretta wanted was finger-bones. Probably the first game I ever played that requires you to go on a quest to break fingers...but if it does produce wonderful music, I guess its worth it. :)

Meanwhile, I also completed part of the main quest along the way, so which meant thrashing the tiny little fire elves and the magma men as well.

Patchy: Those fire elves are a lot smaller than I thought, a bit bigger than a rat though...


Battling in a team is always the best!


 Sorry for the short post this time, will wrap up Firecat Alley in the next post with all the boss battles. On another note...

Sadly, you can't take this home...


 How cool would this black firecat statue be for a housing item? Kinda reminds me of Halloween, add a few jack-o-lanterns and it'll be perfect to put in front of your house!

Patchy: Sadly, this blogger can't do picture-editing to save his life, so you would have to picture it in your mind.
