So I'd been practicing Dove Low Percent... and hadn't been having much luck (I'd gotten to 3-3 four or five times... but no further than that). =/ So I decided to take a break from Dove... by playing Aria instead. =)
Which may sound weird, but because I was coming from Dove Low Percent, it was actually quite refreshing both to be able to pick up and use items... and to be able to damage and kill enemies. =)
Of course, Aria gave me trouble too... and I accumulated quite a number of failed runs (some of them embarassingly short). =p And then, through some weird combination of practice and luck... this run happened. And I'm not going to say I did a little happy dance in my chair when it was over... but I'm not going to say I didn't, either. =)
So here it is... my first ever Aria All Zones Mode win! Hope you enjoy!
The Zone 4 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Green Banshee, Ogre, Blood Nightmare, and King Conga 4 (Aria version).
The Zone 3 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Banshee, Gray Direbat, Green Banshee, and Death Metal 3 (Aria version).
The Zone 2 mini-bosses and boss I encountered during this run were:
- Red Dragon, Blood Nightmare, Green Banshee, and Coral Riff 2 (Aria version).
The Zone 1 mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
- Direbat, Gray Minotaur, Red Dragon, and The Golden Lute.
