It's time to fight with a first boss! Our heroes is still on Nocturna and ready to fight Nashira, The Shadow Void!

-----------------

Boss Info:

Nashira, The Shadow Void is a Necro Destructor from the game Darkspore, whose name was revealed on the Darkspore forum by MaxisYegg upon request. She is seen fighting Arakna at the beginning of both the Dev Diary videos. She is faced at the end of the first mission to Nocturna. In battle she appears to call on the help of Blasting Fiends.

Crogenitor Nashira had always taken death very personally—whether the death of an individual, or of a species. Indeed, Nashira had probed the most shadowy regions of the galaxy for centuries, dissecting what had caused the mass-extinctions that had turned whole planets into graveyards: comet strikes, magnetic field shifts, or explosions of neutron stars. While Nashira was able to transplant hundreds of threatened species to living worlds, the resurrection of entire ecosystems eluded her and all other Crogenitors.

And finally facing that failure, Nashira abandoned biogenetic research forever, and instead turned to death.

Obsessively investigating the hyperdimensional realms of anti-life, Nashira concluded that every biosphere lost to galactic history could be recreated inversely--as a necrosphere. But she needed power, resources, and allies.

Dismissed as dangerous and even insane by her peers, Nashira finally turned to Crogenitor Xylan, who promised her the E-DNA to drive her necrogenesis. Transfecting herself first, Nashira gained the ability to create void-zones, which she theorized could be expanded to encompass entire planets. But during the Mutation Wars, she used them to devastating effect on the battlefields of a dozen worlds.

Technical notes:

This is a story mode playthrough of Darkspore, the multiplayer ARPG from the SPORE series, created by MAXIS and published by EA. It starts from the tutorial and ends after the final battle. During this videos I'll play this game for my very first time and, therefore, I'll be noobish like hell. A lot of things in this game isn't intuitive (for example it took me some time to understand that item levels is much more important than item bonuses, no matter how cool those bonuses looks) and it looks like a made every possible mistake on my first try. So, if this videos looks noobish, it's because I was a complete noob back then.

Why did I recorded my first playthrough then? Because there's no chance for the second one in this game. That's it, there's no option to start a new game from very beginning, or to delete your account and create another one. The only way to start a new game in Darkspore is to buy a new copy. Believe it, or not. There's no end in this game and you can play through the game again and again and again, but only during your first time you'll get a story comments on your journey from HELIX AI. Even if you'll replay the same levels later, there'll be no story info in them. Therefore, your very first run through the game is the only way to learn the story and you can't return to it again. You can enjoy story in Darkspore only once during your lifetime (if you're not crazy enough to buy another box, or digital copy) and that's why I decided to record it.

So, this videos are not about the skill, but about the story. If you want to see skills, look elsewhere, but if you want to re-watch the story events, here's your chance.

Videos recorded with FRAPS, in-game graphics settings is on max. Playthrough splitted in chapters. Once level - one video.
