Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - PS3 - Main Quest - Breaking the Siege (Blind, Hard Difficulty)
0This is probably one of the most epic quests in the game, where you break the years long siege of Mel Senshir and defeat the Greater Niskaru Balor in a climatic boss battle. I did a satisfying amount of damage with my Tempest, if I was playing on a lower difficulty I might have even one shot him. Before sailing to Mel Senshir I shop around for lockpicks as I'm running low and I don't want to go into a new quest unprepared. To skip straight to the Mel Senshir journey go to 12:30.
Completing the quest earns me a gold trophy and another new twist of fate "Siegebreaker" with a not be sniffed at 6% damage bonus. I also hit level 33 and upgrade Smolder for a big chunk of extra burning damage. For finesse I get Frost Trap, which does little damage and won't be used much but is needed for a certain trophy. Thanks to a trainer in Mel Senshir I'm able to max out blacksmithing, so most of the post quest footage is me experimenting with the blacksmith forge. I even go off to buy some new equipment purely for the purposes of salvaging it, but I discover that salvaging equipment is a pretty random affair with no guarantees on what you'll get. I end up making some new robes, which boost my armor and more importantly my lightning damage, although it does mean I Iose some mana and health regen, not a problem at this stage in the game as I'd sooner have the damage. Most of the components I have can't make anything better than what I've already got equipped, though I will be finding better ones during the course of the game and making some really good gear with them.
After that I head to Whitesone where a few more side quests await. I pick up the task "Dinner Time", a never ending hunt for rat meat, which I'll be doing at my convenience. I'll be finishing up a few more quests in Detyre before heading back to the unexplored pastures of Klurikon.
Anyway this epic point in the game seems a good enough time to have another short break from the series. I'll be starting a new playthrough tomorrow and Amalur should return in just over a week and a half.
