Time for a second boss battle! This time our heroes will fight Polaris, The Gravity Manipulator on Zelem's Nexus, in Chaos Fields region.

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

Boss Info:

Polaris, The Gravity Manipulator is a Quantum Destructor from Darkspore. His name was leaked by people who attended the PAX Expo, and were given the opportunity to play Darkspore. He is fought on Zelem's Nexus.

Having been physically weak his entire life, Polaris was fascinated by powerful cosmic forces, and how to apply such energies towards destruction.
At the same facility pioneering E-DNA research, Polaris was designing a prototype combat exoskeleton. When E-DNA mutants slaughtered the scientists who gave them life, Polaris piloted his own combat suit, suppressing the uprising. But that emergency experiment came at cost: the Darkspore destroyed the war suit, and Polaris suffered terrible injuries.

Convalescing for years, Polaris obsessed over the flaws of his design and the fact that flesh creatures could crush his combat mechanism. Eventually Polaris sought Crogenitor Xylan, who convinced him to fuse his own research with Xylan's, so he would never be vulnerable again.

And so Polaris joined Xylan in a pact that ultimately caused the downfall of the galaxy.

Xylan transfected Polaris into a gigantic, relentless smasher with terrifying gravitic powers. He could deploy multiple miniature black holes to attract and crush projectiles and hostiles, and unstable singularities functioning as time-bombs. He also could overpower his victims via gravitic projection.

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.
