Omega Robot: One Tough Dude

Well, with no forethought whatsoever, I decided to go for the whirlpool dungeon, and what an adventure it was. The place goes on for ever and ever and ever. 20 levels of mayhem and madness. 
Actiually, sometimes the game seems to count by twos going down, so it may have only been a dozen or so levels, but we all know how much Japanese people stuggle with basic math, so I’ll forgive them this little error. At level four or something like that I kicked Gilgamesh’s butt, and that unlocked a door to let me go down even farther. About level 12, I had to kill dragons for a dragon lord called Dark Bahamut in order to go farther. At level 20, after constant fighting for 19 levels, I finally reached the bottom. By this time, I was running low on healing potions, and I was faced with a choice of two boss fights. I randomly picked one, and whoops, problem. Omega, some sort of robot demi-god, took us to the farm in about ten rounds. He has this laser-thingie that just ripped us up, and our swords don’t do much damage to him at all.
Humm, reload, and let’s try the other boss. Ouch. This one’s a fat ass dragon of the meanest sort. I don’t think we even lasted five rounds.
Reload, try again against the dragon. Once again, he chews us up and spits us out like White Castle burgers.
Humm. I’m stuck. Up to now, I haven’t run into a fight that I couldn’t handle fairly easily. This set of bosses is proving to be a tough match, though. I look over some of the remaining potions we’ve got, figure out a new strategy with spells and responsibilities, and take another shot at Omega robot.
This would turn out to be a 60-round epic battle that lasted over 50 minutes. Numerous times he took out our knight, but each time we were able to get the knight back into the battle. Finally, with our knight down, potions out, and everyone low on HP, our black magic wizard fried up Omega with a thunderbolt and took the beast down! Woot. Great fight, and we gain a “murakame” sword, a kick-ass sword well worth the effort. With that, we zip back up to the surface. I burned up all our extra special potions here, so we’ll have to leave that dragon for some other day.
