My HUnewearl is Lv 30, my MAG is a bulky Varaha and I'm packing a set of Knives, a Pallasch and a Lockgun. Is it too early for me to take on this behemoth I have never seen? Or is it okay to go in?

I'm mainly asking because I can take scapedolls, but I see no point in wasting them. Any suggestions?

Little update: I gave it a shot without bringing scapedolls. I beat the first form, but then the second overpowered me. WOW! That was cool!

Awesome music!

Oh, yes! The Olga Flow music is AWESOME!

It is... *droolz*

I gave it another go. The first form doesn't present much of a problem, but the second is completely different. I can't beat that gigantic sucker.

Oh, and I made it to VERY HARD at lvl 54.

eye wants rarez...

But it are not has rarez yet...

boo hoo...

While Neo48 makes a good point, I just don't think slicers can pack the punch needed to make them a good choice. I've tried them myself and often have a great deal of difficulty getting most of my targets in 1 attack, let alone all 3.

My Varista has full grinder up.

Oh, and this is just me gloating, but I have both the Booma's arm and Gibooma's arm. Along with a CRUSH BULLET, 4 Add Slots, 2x Photon things, 2 CLUB OF LACONIAN, 3 DB's SABER, 2 DISKA OF (?? I forgot the name ??), and of course, SOUL EATER & AKIKO'S FRYING PAN.


Oh, and I have a PHOTON CLAW on my HUNewearl.

That usually happens in Ep.2 because those damn monkeys that freeze you and the accompanying monsters that beat you... without asking to. Crying or Very sad

And the bots in the sealab. those get me a LOT.

Abominae, Tue Jul 28, 2009 7:37 pm wrote:Except for the fact that I still die. Which is why I use the Varista almost exclusively. I switch out when I get bored of it.

Also, I may end up dropping PSO on the GC all together and just switch to BB as soon as I get my laptop.

I reached my 999999 Meseta cap and... well... that's just bullsh*t.

Yes, you get a lot of money in PSO. It was worse on the Dreamcast. On PSO: Episode I & II, rare items sell for 10 Meseta. On Dreamcast, they sold for a nice chunk of money. You could amass 100000+ Meseta from a Very Hard Ruins run.

I meant to say that it's bullsh*t that that's all I can carry. I know before I make it to Ultimate I'll probably have enough to almost double that number, but I don't quite so much anymore because I blew a huge chunk on star atomizers so I wouldn't have to baby my left over meseta.

Does BB have this meseta cap?

BenoitRen, Tue Jul 28, 2009 10:02 pm wrote:It's not like you'll need all that much money, and it's easy to get.

Yes, BB has that cap as well. Every version does.

Neo48, Tue Jul 28, 2009 10:55 pm wrote:Ehh...maybe its easier to use Slicers at a higher level...I dunno. I could just effortlessly take down Olga Flow with Red Slicer. But there are other ways of doing it.

If you are a hunter you can try fighting the Dragon multiple times to find a Yamata. It is probably the best rare weapon at the Very Hard level.

I wonder if I should play PSO...I just got an HD tv and I never saw the game in progressive scan.

By the way, where'd you get that avatar, ben?

BenoitRen, Fri Jul 31, 2009 7:13 pm wrote:A HUnewearl? That class has the worst ATA of the Hunters. I'd definitely recommend a melee weapon.

I got my avatar from PS Cave's PSIII Character Icons page.
