#i just love how much care and spunk was put into mount olympus :-) its a wee bit nostaligc to me

not really a greek mythology guy but recently went through mount olympus again on andrew (recently turned level 30+) and ive just been thinking about it because its just so delightful and fun. theyre all birds... what more could you ask for. apollo is a chicken and his name is pronounced like how you would pronounce chicken in spanish ( ah-pollo -> ah-poyo) like its just so specifically silly. they were all given wizard101 last name/titles aswell (athena battle sight, apollo bright one, ares savage spear, zeus sky father)

also have been thinking about cheating bosses in this game as of late and think the cheats within this instance were also just really well executed. theyre not even overly complicated. i like that ares has his “you dare strike me directly?” cheat where you have to use aoe (attack all enemy) spells ONLY otherwise he’ll get to attack you for free. and then zeus’ cheat “you hesitate too much!” which gets triggered if you use a 6+ pip spell (which is honestly just funny to me. at around level 30 you only just learned 5 pip spells so this is to poke at higher levels going through this instance) and then he attacks you also. twice if the cheat is triggered by a shadow spell. i just think this is one of the best example of instances with well thought out cheating bosses and difficulty :-) strategizing and actually pulling through because of strategizing was really rewarding

#they took apollo of greek mythology fame and turned him into a wizard101 version of revali from botw #took these pictures not on andrew though but on my main so i could tank out the damage because i wanted a picture of his natural attack #...which he did like multiple times and twice in a row at one point. which is so funny what is his problem with gabrielle specifically #i just love how much care and spunk was put into mount olympus :-) its a wee bit nostaligc to me #by the time mount olympus was released (2013) my main was already a bit too overleveled for it for it to be toooo much of a challenge #so it was nice to recently go through it on andrew. me and my sibling two manned this four wizard dungeon and getting to strategize was fun #and rewarding :-) we've only run it twice so far and both have two pieces of gear. maybe we'll try and both get a full set #my sibling actually got a zeus robe on the first run and neither of us realized until completing our second run .... lucky .!!!!!! #im not gonna farm for zeus gear but if i get a piece then it'll be nice #excited to get around to atlantea and tartarus ... never did them before :-p
