Once I had defeated the last of them, and performed some skillful stone masonry on some ancient columns, it was off to take on the Storm Caiman. Aha! Into a dungeon!
First, I had to don the robes and appearance of one of those wraiths and drift into the pyramid.
The first few fights were pretty typical, although Agnes was a bit of a handful, she wasn't unusually difficult. From there, a quick glance at the Codex and I knew something was wrong! I hadn't gotten there in time! No! She had already summoned the Storm Caiman!
It was up to me to stop him.
I raced into the next chamber and Blaze realised what was going on. He told me that the Caiman was a crafty fellow and had defeated him when they initially met. Hmm...I know how well Blaze can fight...those are words I need to heed.
A quick glance through my gear and I knew I had to do something. I switched into my "I hate fighting Storm bosses" gear and I was ready.
"Arrrgghhhh!!" I charged into the fray ready to take out this evil spirit at all costs!
The battle was intense. It started hard, with me going second. A quick early Medusa from a minion and a Storm Owl from the boss and I was immediately on the back foot. Thanks to Blaze's tips, it wasn't too bad, but the fight was definitely on!
I settled in, and in true Fire form, I nailed the pesky minions and it was time to take the Caiman down, but he certainly wasn't giving in without a fight.
Wow...all of a sudden I'm brimming with pips and extremely low on health. Do I go for the killer hit, or do I heal? Going second...well, let's just say, I'm glad I went with healing!
Fortunately, the lady of the tree worked her magic and got me back from 4 health to a point where I was ready to continue this battle to the death.
The struggle continued, with each of us scoring big hits, and then...no! I was nearly dead again! 54 health! Bugger!
Fortunately, my backflipping, hooved companion jumped in (literally!) to save the day.
Well, that was enough. I was able to then finish the job and the world of Azteca breathed easier now that the threat had been neutralised (they just had to worry about a whopping big meteor instead lol!)
But you know? Even once defeated, the Storm Caiman chose to be rude. Look at this guy shouting...I don't think I have seen any other character speaking in all caps? If I have missed one, let me know so I can go back and check it out.
Someone really should show him the CAPS LOCK key!
How did you go against this guy? I know I appreciated Blaze's tip - just in time!
See you 'round the Spiral!
