    I made a gems drop and boss tips list for the people having trouble.

    Gems list
    ruby = ogres, gas clouds, gargoyles, giants, wyverns, Efreet,
    aquamarine = kraken, nagas, Poseidon, slimes, lizardman, Lizard Assassin, vortexes
    emerald = goblins, orcs, trolls, werewolves
    topaz = sand golems, clay golems, Sand Worm, living armors
    diamond = nekos, harpies, Snow Queen, succubus
    onyx = skeletons, zombies, mummies, Witch, will-o-the-wisps, *ghosts?, Necromancer, imps, vampires, , *demons?

    Mimics drop a random gem sometimes, the Guardian Dragon drops a bunch of random gems.
    Death drops onixes, emeralds and diamonds.
    Trents and the World Tree drop random fruits that give a permanent bonus to a stat.
    *I've never gotten an onyx from these guys.

    Very big huge pro-tips.
    Farm farm farm. If you're having trouble with a boss, farm!
    If you're constantly getting one hit it's not because the enemies are strong, it's a system that isn't explained. When you are attacking, you take tons more damage than you'd normally take. Get the buckler from the 5th area store to cancel this effect.
    Enchanted gear helps vs certain enemies.
    Areas with random monsters have gold bonuses for each kill. Areas like the Supply Base, the Theater, and the Field are great for money.
    Luck helps tremendously, get it from the shrine in the area with the World Tree. It makes rarer monsters appear along with increasing gold and gem drops.
    Try and keep your killing power in line with your luck. If your luck is too high, you'll start getting stronger monsters that'll take forever to kill!
    Armor and vitality helps very very much. But armor means diddly if you don't have vitality, the inverse is also true.
    Cross Napalm does more damage than the other 4 spells you can get when you buy it. Tricky to aim, but worth it.
    The spell Chaser costs one hundred million gold, and comes from the city in area 8. The seller appears at random.
    The Doppelganger and Doom Worm bosses are unlocked at area 14. The Doppelganger is in the pyramid at the lake, the Doom Worm is in the pyramid in the swamp with lizards. The Doppelganger drops the energy sword, while the Doom Worm drops the Shockwave spell.
    There are three companions in the game.
    Indigo=Roger, a knife throwing cowboy. He is in the desert oasis.
    nin nin, a awesome cat thingie that heals who is awesome. He is in a hidden spot in the forest with the World Tree.

    Bosses
    Orc Leader
    Buy the katana that's in the hidden shop, it does more damage to this boss than the dagger you start with.

    Elven Archer
    Get to a place where you can stab him, but underneath his bow since that's where he shoots from. If you're quick enough, you can dodge his shots from there.

    Maze Minotaur
    Stand on his arms while attacking him, his spiral fireballs should pass right over you.

    Dark Mist
    Easy as pie, just remember to dodge his triple shots while spamming magic missile. Once you've gotten Cross Napalm, farm this guy for easy gold.

    Mutant Cyclops
    Pick Cable and spam viper beam...? Just run up and stab him, when his eye starts flashing, move to dodge his optic blast.

    Sand Worm
    The more you hit this guy the slower his actions are so keep hitting him! For an easier time, get the longest fuck off stick you can. Farm this guy for topazes.

    Poseidon
    He has two attacks, three homing wave thingies, and four wave thingies that spread out in a circle from him. If you stand between his eyes and the top of his head, his second attack should pass right over you. Farm this guy for aquamarines.

    Sorceress
    This boss seems pretty hard, but is easy once you learn her attacks. Attack her when her lightning bolt is out, dodge when it isn't. Try being on her left side to a bit of warning on her homing attack. Farm at the field underneath her skull if you need cash.

    Efreet
    He is immune to everything but water damage, you need a weapon with water on it to fight him. He has five attacks, a single shot, a triple shot that he spams, a 360 shot that's easy to dodge, the spiral attack the Maze Minotaur used, and the fire homing circle the Sorceress used. Get the longest possible water enchanted weapon and poke him from a distance while dodging his attacks. Farm Poseidon if you need aquamarines.

    Lizard Assassin
    This guy is a pain in the ass. Everytime you swing your weapon, he makes a clone and teleports. He also throws shurikens and water shots. Get the gauntlet from the shop and try ramming him with your weapon. Enchant a weapon with fire if he is still too hard. Another way is to upgrade your magic and spam Cross Napalm or Chaser spells.

    Necromancer
    He summons undead and fires off four big dark magic shots during the fight. His attacks are easy to dodge, and his summons shouldn't cause too much trouble.

    Yggdrasil
    This giant tree comes with three attacks. A continuous lightning bolt beam from the top of the screen, nine small lightning bolts, and explosive apples/cherries from Kirby. Stand somewhere below the middle of the screen to dodge the lightning beams and keep a fair distance from him to avoid the other attacks. Be sure to grab nin nin from the hidden location for a healer!

    Snow Queen
    She seduces, fires water? beams, and spams icicles. Dodge the big icicles while watching out for her beams and flying hearts. I've noticed that she likes to shoot the largest icicles towards the player, so keep moving.

    Guardian Dragon
    Is actually really really easy compared to the previous bosses. Just stand below or above him and attack. If you're in the correct spot, only his spinning explosions should come close to hitting you.

    Death
    Fires off a curved wind-dark? shot and a triple homing attack. Also comes with random temporary invulnerability! Focus on dodging when he is invulnerable, and attack attack attack when he isn't. Nothing fancy about this guy.

    Doppelganger
    It's your character! But with huge amounts of health and no magic.
    Schide wrote: »

    Secret to success for doppleganger:

    2 ways. If your main sword is the scimitar, or it's at least pumped up enough with width, you can basically sit in the bottom corner and just attack continuously, the scimitar's top space is enough to hit him while his bottom can't hit you.

    Or, take out all the height and width of your sword and pump up magic and attack with just magic.

    You can also stand under and a bit to the side of him and hit him from there, you'd need a large weapon though.

    Doom Worm
    Scary name but not a lot going for it. It's a palette swap of the Sand Worm boss, but much slower, and his attack is replaced with small lightning bolts. Attacking him doesn't slow him down either. Just hit it till it stops moving.
    I haven't fought the other bosses yet but if you have, feel free to add to this list.

    I got no clue when it comes to weaknesses though. Higher tier vampires and monsters past them still give me trouble even with my level 693 and 44 light zweihander. Especially demons, fuck those demons.

    What are the differences between the different swords?

    Just the shape. In theory, at high levels you can get one sword for each element, but this isn't really necessary. I hacked and beat the game, but apparently there's some stuff with Avatar and space you can do afterwards. Don't really know where to find it, though.

    edit: Also, once you beat Avatar, he drops an item that makes all the enemies a lot harder (i got the item by hacking, no idea where you actually go to fight Avatar). I'm pretty sure this game is just some guy wanting to find out how long people could put up with a game that's just clicking repeatedly.

    So a figure a lightning shooting tree would be weak to ground (or at least that's what pokemon tells me) but the ground color is yellow. . .yellow like lightning. . .so I don't know?

    He's pretty easy to dodge I suppose, I guess I can just kill him with my normal sword.


    oh and dryads in the forest are pretty easy to kill for 2 mil.

    Random shop in the 8th zone city.


    Also, monsters will net more money in the later zones. The nekos give only something like 20 gold in the 1st zone, but 20k in the 14th one. And don't get me started on the rarer monsters (Mabu gave me something like 150 million gold one time in the 14th)

    can you make a game with no actual gameplay become addictive via a constant drip-feed of tiny numerical rewards?

    Part of it is that they really ridiculously handicap you at the beginning. A tiny sword, no missiles, instant death if you get hit while attacking, and constantly accidentally leaving the map screen. It's like the standards slowly evolve from an atari game to a modern one.

    It grows much faster then the other swords. Mine is only level 130 and it's as large as I need. After that, I think you should be putting points into strength but I'm no expert.

    The game continues, and you open 2 new areas: a kennel where you can buy some mutts with bones, and one with a hellhound with a MOTHERFUCK HUGE LASER OF DOOM that will fuck your shit up. I'm serious, it ca kill you with 2-3 lasering.

    Methuselah is level 4, Elder Vampires are level 2 and Vampire Lords are level 3.

    Guys, if you're taking upwards of 10 minutes to fight one random enemy, it's just not worth it. The time is better spent fighting other enemies and getting gold and then fighting that harder enemy later.
