how about one of the post-mick quests that the quest reward is simply a key. The key is innocuous, mysterious, and fragile. You try every possible lock you can find, but it doesnt seem to open anything at all. Eventually, you give up, ...

Just beaten the Mick and was about to ascend into another Maso when I thought... wait, have I finished? So I checked, and I seem to have finished on the 24th of Feb and this run was my fourth in a row. Either I'm so Maso I can do ...

Cristiona

Psions really suck with Maso. I did the Mick in nearly-maso (I went naturally hyper instead of abstainer), and he's not too horrible, you just need to prepare. For one, you'll want to have Vim running for the fight, and you should have maxed ...

I concur. My psion DID manage to beat The Mick at 11, but that was thanks to some lucky equipment, not because of the Psion skills.

acidcat

Just in case anyone was wondering, I'm still plugging away.

I can't beat the Mick, so I'm off to level

Psions really suck with Maso.

Only 5,425 turns in the Neighboring and neighborly neighborhood left 'till the Mick!

Anybody who wants to join in, this train has barely left the station so don't hesitate to jump on!

I used a maxed-out Tornado. Was actually pretty easy.

Elem's the best Mick killer? Maybe if you overlevel for Firestorm. Also, Psions aren't too bad all around, mainly because of Vim. Even now, with a whole bunch of skills, I still max Vim and run it for the entire run.

Lxndr

Oddly enough, the Psion was the fastest run for me (up until The Mick, which took me an extra day before I could beat him). I'd rate the Psion as the fastest pre-Mick, and Elementalist as the best Mick-killer.

Lxndr

I was right. The Mick is down. Retconning now. That should make me #4, if I'm right.

Lxndr

well, I'm at the end of my run.
sadly, it's a Psion run, and I can't figure out how to defeat The Mick just yet.
Wasted an entire day's worth of turns getting smacked down by him.
Maybe tomorrow I'll be done with this contest.

... more "pretend you're level X and told to go to the castle for a quest. What level is appropriate?" There will eventually be several post-Mick quests that continue the story. I want to space them so that they're tough but doable. The castle is currently the toughest non-scaling zone that ...

FAQ needs to be changed to reflect retcon: Q. Where is Mick? I can't figure out what to do for that quest. I can't find him. A. The journal entry about Mick is merely a teaser about future content. It lets you know what will be coming in the future, ...

... +18 damage, spread out across 6 elements to minimize any kind of resistances. Admittedly, the Marble would be my preference for runs, but post-Mick I could easily see myself switching over to the Eyelets while I farm up items or just take a break from retconning.

... rather pointless - much better to use the PP on firestorm or psi blast and get the guaranteed kill. I believe trample is preferred because of the Mick's 50% resistance to all elements. Also, if you don't get a one-hit kill, trample will still trigger useful weapon effects. Like weakening. although ...

Or maybe the primary plan. 7) Echolocation - important for only a few quests, ...

Mana Yachanichu

Well, clearly I should have been resting - the PP from the wigwam more than paid for using Trample against everyone, even the Mick went down in 4 rounds (2 successful hits and 2 misses with Rhino).

Thanks for the help, everyone!

Cristiona

Trample certainly helps with the Mick. Naturalist without any helping skills can be kind of tough, but if you can find a Scottish Necklace, that would help you survive, likewise the +HP ion stone. Also, don't forget your sidekick. Summoning ...

... KoL's birthday or half-birthday. True. More defense skills would own, imagine that with Upgrade Armor, Battle Armor and Stone Armor. Take that Mick! And a KoL crossover would be awesome.

... itself. As it only works for one turn and is assumedly very limited in usage, it wouldn't be viable for much. And it's not like the bosses before Mick are actually very difficult, not nearly enough to require anything like this. I was more thinking it would make the Mick battle fun.

Clearly my understanding of a gimmick run is different than yours, Ryme. "But we've already said it twice in this very thread how the gimmicks work. Take two months. Pull everything you need, even at 5 pulls/day. Use red eyes and kilt ...

Rawr! So I went to fight the Mick today: You're caught off guard, and your opponent acts first. Your opponent attacks ... He hits you for 135 + 129 (electric) damage. Sadly for the Mick, he left me with 14 HP left. I had a gift for him: ...

Harry Dresden

Armored pegasus has a level 12 requirement, so not really usable unless you can't finish the Mick off at level 11 for some reason.

I was having some trouble with the Mick fight today, and Zillow pointed out how valuable the Medevac chopper's air rescue action is in that fight. Boy, howdy.

Strlikecrazy

... get that level's combat skill to even have a chance... Tornado is more powerful in my opinion. Max out tornado, and if you get 5 or 6 shots on the Mick, he can't hit you. Then just ice bolt him to death! :D I think it was Zillow who mentioned it, but Passive skills and are awesome, as are buffs. ...

Jick

I have a Recyclonizer.

With Gadgeteers, I haven't had any problem beating The Mick just by spamming regular attacks.

My first run, which was Elementalist, I had to level to 12 to get that level's combat skill to even have a chance...

Harry Dresden

I'd also recommend farming up some good delever/stun combat items for the Mick fight. Preferably, find someone with a Recyclonizer to make TNT for you between runs.

Not a bug as such but now retcon's here, maybe this hint from James Isaac needs rejigging:- That Mick fellow you may have heard about? Nobody knows who he is or what he's up to. You're just going to have to wait until he shows himself. It's been two years and he hasn't ...
