Who cares about Griffon, anyway? - I've got a new bossman now. - Griffon was a girl scout compared to this guy! + Flotsam continues to laugh. + Max: A new boss? + Flotsam's title shows. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* ** ** ** BOSS 5: IMMORTAL CLOWN~~METAL FLOTSAM ** ** ** *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= SCOOP: FLOTSAM REVIVED =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > The first thing that Flotsam does, is charge toward you. + Take the photo before he gets to you. - Then dodge out of the way!!! ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NEW INVENTIONS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > Steve's final weapons can be invented now. + Steve's Samurai Arm IV (the ideas are all Scoops): Ideas = Flotsam Revived! + A Surviving Soldier + Legend of the Moon Materials = 2x Diamond + 25x Rolling Log + 25x Scrap Metal + Steve's Nova Cannon IV: Ideas = Flotsam Revived! + Pot Torch + The Sun Materials = 5x Holy Stone + 15x Sticky Clay + 1x Sun Stone > Stats: + Samurai Arm IV (one slash and most are defeated!!!

NOTE: I didn't have the Holy Stone to make the Nova Cannon IV, but I was able to make the Samurai Arm IV. + I equipped the Arm, using 'Exchange'. + When I made the Nova Cannon IV, I could NOT equip it. - I checked and could 'exchange' ANY other weapon, but not this Nova Cannon (the word 'Exchange' was dark). - I even tried to equip Nova Cannon III and then exchange with IV, but I could not. + Perhaps equip Nova Cannon IV BEFORE first time you equip Samurai Arm IV?? - I can't go back to find out as I only have the one game saved. > You should still have the Sun Stone. + You can get the diamonds from Morton's Sundries. - The Holy Stone is going to be a problem. + You can get Holy Stone on the following floors: - Generally only one each time through the floor (and some of the time, none!). Floor 4: Evil Bat Invasion .... Holy Drake Floor 18: Little Dragon Army ... Holy Wyrm Floor 21: Mummy Heaven ......... Holy Wyrm NOTE: Second time through Floor 21, one of the treasure chests gave me 7x Holy Stone. + It may not happen another time through, but its worth while to go to this floor more than once.

Me, lose? (furious) Of all ridiculous--- + Monica: What are you talking about? - You've lost LOTS of time already! + Max: Yeah! + Flotsam: Well... I expect he'll be taking care of you shortly... - Hee hee hee... + Flotsam explodes. + Monica: Who could 'he' be? + Max: Who knows? > Video ends with Max facing the exit.
