I have wasted eight hours of my life trying to get Markhor so I can get the EZ Gun and never use it. I was two animals or possibly plants short. I even tracked down the Flying Squirrel and spent twenty minutes looking for a Tsuchinoko.

MGS3

I even made a checklist of everything I had to find! WHERE DID I GO WRONG

Did you bring back the Tsuchinoko alive? That automatically gives you a different rank than Markhor - one that rewards you with a mask that grants infinite ammo.

I... I brought it back alive, yeah, but I've already gotten that one, and I think you can get multiple ranks at once. Every time I do a no-alert run my Chameleon run data gets updated, and every time I take fewer than 20 injuries my Tortoise run data gets updated too.

I only found 46 out of 48 animals and plants. Now that I think about it, I might've missed the Ural Luminescent... not sure about the other one.

Start of map I say in all chat "please dont leave the north and center unguarded so a destroyer can waltz in and torpedo me".  My team tells me to stop bitching.  A pair of destroyers then waltz in our undefended north and center and torpedoes me.

Ahhh... playing a Bogue in World of Warships.

I was flying a long-range airplane mission for the last bit of cash I needed to upgrade the Spaceplane Hangar. While time-warping, occasionally the craft will get knocked around by random physics glitches. I tried to correct one of these without first turning off time acceleration and ended up in a flat spin above the mountains. I didn't survive.

Frankly, you should never go above 2x timewarp when flying a plane, unless it's a really stable plane. And even then.

On the other hand, unless they fixed it since I last played, the air intake calculations get thrown off during timewarp, allowing your plane to fly at higher altitudes than it should... until you turn off timewarp and your engines flameout, in which case enjoy the glider!

Hit the wrong button on the teleporter.

Risk of Rain.

[pisskop]

Hey, I remember that game vaguely.  Back when there were like 3 levels.

[Akura]

Not so much a death, but something happened to the save file. Now the terrain around my colony abruptly ends, resulting in a hundred meter drop into what was a massive, continent-spanning cavern that I had previously used to find minerals. The terrain just ends, not into a cliff, just there's nothing there. Had to start a new game.

Planet Explorers. Probably had to do with an update earlier in the week.

In general, I think I rate Mokou approximately 1-2 Sans'[Or 1/8 of a Yukari] in boss difficulty. Her second spell sign where she drops firebirds everywhere and Honest Man's Death are both incredibly obtuse. Still, IN means that I get approximately THREE lives per life, so I have to mess up several spell signs to die permanently. Even with that, I still get consistently dunked by her third-last spell sign and its explodey volcano. I remain much more optimistic about beating her then I am about beating Flandre, so I'll probably keep trying for at least a week or two before getting sad and moving on with my life.

Do you know how to dodge the laser in honest man's death yet? I ask because it's incredibly difficult to figure out via trial and error and I don't want you to suffer. Also, once you figure out the laser HMD becomes her easiest spell card.

BTW, what do you think of her boss theme?

a Parchment titled ``Secrets of the Gnomish Wizards''
Those objects are only known of by rumours.  It is said that they can be activated for great or strange effects...

It can be activated for death.
You found it in the remains of a Death quasit on level 43 of Mordor.

I mean, how could I resist??  Turns out, yep, it's literally more deadly than drinking a potion of explosions.

Okay, okay... I backed up my save first.
But that's the only time this character has died, except for the BS Lothlorien spider quest.  Screw that quest.  "We have a spider problem-" NO.  YOU HAVE A CAMP OF THESE "ARANEAS"
Except instead of being 3rd level sorcerers, they're such powerful priestesses (OF WHAT, THERE'S NO LOLTH IN MIDDLE EARTH) that they can murder my half-ogre paladin of Tulkas with MEAN WORDS.  They CURSED her to death in one round.  She had maxed spirituality, which is the only way to resist harm-curses!  And D12 HD!

Anyway when they did the exact same thing to my Thunderlord mindcrafter I just went "nah" and reloaded the backup.  I should just ignore the quest, it killed dozens of my characters back in college.

I think you dodge the laser in Honest man's death through an extremely counter intuitive method.

Spoiler: THE METHOD (click to show/hide)

Stand still.
Do not move.
Dodge the other bullets if you have to, but if the laser should be incoming you must not move or you will be hit. If I remember correctly.

How did you ID the scroll in the first place?

[Rolan7]

I'm mostly operating out of Lothlorien because the shops are wealthy, and also because Galadriel will *Identify* (rather than just Identify) items at her Mirror for a reasonable price.  There's also a nice nest of Thunderlords who offer cheap Word of Recall, and expensive transit to various dungeons without having to trek the world map.

This isn't a scroll actually, it's a "junkart" for junk-artifact.  Stuff like skulls and magic sticks which can be activated from the inventory (they remind me of charms in Diablo 2, taking up inventory but useful).  Identify lets you activate them, *Identify* tells you what will happen   About half are bad, but this is obviously the worst I've seen.  The good ones generally cure status ailments like poison or stat damage, though I don't really need those anymore.  I do keep around a "Teleport level" one for dire emergencies.

Since they're technically artifacts, they cannot be destroyed heh.  I was throwing the bad ones in Galadriel's pool where they eventually despawned.  This one, I'm keeping in my house...  A parchment which spells instant death to the reader is a bit harsh of a practical joke.

As a non-"Tales of Maj'Eyal" player, I don't know any of the locations you have.

That's incorrect

Spoiler: THE ACTUAL METHOD (click to show/hide)

When the laser is first being fired, it is telegraphed as coming either from the left or from the right.
This telegraphed version has no hitbox, the hitbox only activates when it reaches the position you were at when it first appeared on screen.
Nudge yourself towards the laser before the hitbox activates.
