Will there be bosses? I had an interesting idea for a boss that might fit well into the theme of the new game. It actually features an element of the Twinrova battle from the Legend of Zelda games. My idea was that he'd be a demon of some kind who would start out in spirit form. He would warp around the area, firing off blasts of magical energy. He would have two attacks, fire and ice. The idea would be that you would use your sword or perhaps a magical shield to deflect the blasts of energy back at him. The trick, then, would be to absorb three blasts of the same attack I.E. three blasts of fire or three blasts of ice. After you'd absorbed three of the same attacks you would automatically launch the attack at the demon. This wouldn't actually damage him but it would cause him to assume a solid form. He would then attack you in some other form perhaps, and this would be the time to cause damage. You would then run up and slash him a few times. After being hit a few times he might resume his spirit form and the pattern would have to be repeated. It would involve an element of strategy, but then again it might be hard to do from a programming perspective. But there's my idea. You might need an ehcnanted shield that perhaps had to be found on that level in order to block the demon's magical attacks. Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Charles Rivard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 9:00 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Montezuma's Return Progress Report.
