Beating Ravyn's Heart is... very frustrating!

I never expected how weak I was many aspects. Why the negative tone? Ran out of time when trying to destroy Ravyn's Heart.

After being able to craft Refined Keys for the Skullic Dungeon, I warped right in front of the floating crystal skull that gives me access to the map. Unlike the original key, this one gives me my very own instance of fighting Ravyn's Heart.

It may be simple as bashing the giant red skull but progress gets delayed when skullic mobs spawn within the area, not to mention a Montoro you cannot target. I hate his attack when it knocks you down. Worse, it's a big AOE that interferes anyone trying to break Ravyn's Heart.

The worst is about to come as you progress in cracking the giant red skull, one of four giant skeletons comes to life and beats the hell out of you! There was a strategy of luring them out of Ravyn's Heart which worked but escaping was already hard with invincible Montoro trying to get a piece of you. These giant skeletons are not knock-able, making skill interference impossible to achieve.

With only 15 minutes in total, it wasn't enough for me to finish the whole ordeal. I have planned to get more keys as soon as I work up the Vis for the keys. I got another batch of Moon Stones and I do hope Marcelino makes more than he breaks!

Help me in this one, guys! Discuss about it here at the IAH Games forums: http://forum.iahgames.com/ge/showthread.php?t=66623

Ferruccio's Legacy... Does it exist?

I logged in around 6PM last Tuesday, March 18, 2008. I already bought my powerleveling kit (which consists of Expert Combat Manual, Expert Tactics Manual, one pair of Lucifer Wings and two pairs of Devil Wings) before that day. However, I didn't want to use it now and I decided to level around at Zona Tres of Ustiur. However, sleep was catching on me so I decided to AFK until I woke up the next morning. Since I got used to my shift schedule, I woke up around 2AM and saw my family dead after a few seconds of sitting in front of the PC.

The Colbourn Family was online and I asked if he could accompany or tank for me. He was in the middle of his quest to get Bone Sarira and he let me join him. I arrived at the Skullic Dungeon 1st Floor and met him there. We had a few hits here and there but I able to finish my Bone Sarira quest. However, there was a part 2 of that quest! After (painstakingly) collecting 50 Bone Sariras for the Crystal Skull of the 1st floor, he told me that I'll be on another quest finding another Crystal Skull on the 2nd Floor and triggering a requirement of 150 Bone Sariras! Woah! I thought it ended already!

Anyway, Colbourn Family was kind enough to accompany me through this quest. We had to part when he was able to finish his quest earlier. He did come back to help me finish it. By the time I finished the 150 Bone Sarira part of the quest, I got to see none other than Montoro Viscount himself! I was accompanied by Romina who tried to bring him down but she got beaten up badly. As Montoro was about to finish her off, Grandice came to the rescue! With my assistance, Romina and Grandice were able to drive Montoro away. Looks like this won't be the last time I'll meet Montoro...

Heading back to the Ustiur Camp, Grandice tells me about "Ferruccio's Legacy." According from the info I got, this Ferruccio's Legacy is an artifact left by Ferruccio Espada himself somewhere in the New World. Some say it has powers that anyone else can't possess but with all that stuff here and there, it's hard for me to elaborate what the "Ferruccio's Legacy" really is... However, two other characters did tell me that they were also looking "Ferruccio's Legacy." Only time will tell when the secrets are revealed to us (that includes me and other players, okay?).
