Quest for Glory Epic Let's Play Part Fifty-Two: The Wide Open Plains

In Which Our Hero fights some monsters, Tarna-style.

Video With Subtitles

Back on the savanna, Marcus is kicking it around the Simbani village but it's time he got out and worked his muscles a bit - maybe find a monster or two to beat up.

Once out of the village our first step is to get oriented. The only thing on the map that looks remotely interesting is that big lake down there, so that's where we'll head. Looks like Erana might have made it all the way to Tarna - or there's some other magic at work here.

Then it's monster mashing time! Some uppity Croc Man thinks he can take us, but a few short seconds later and he's on the ground. As I note in the video, combat in this game is way different than the others - you're basically 'penalized' for spamming attacks, so you have to wait until the attack animation finishes before doing the next attack. Although you can spam to build your stats.

The Croc Man is the only monster we meet this day, so it's back to the village at nightfall to meet with Uhura and then back to our hut to rest up for another day of monster mashing - where we meet a giant ant and beat it into the ground as our finale.

Next update, it's time to find out what's over that next rise...
