Solo Oracle - Century III

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt !Condemn.

Of the bosses pulverized, only the following are particularly noteworthy:

Ramuh: As you already saw, Ramuh can be a bit of a dick. At my level, I needed to avoid him casting Thundara in his rotation at all, which was basically a 2/3 shot for each turn he got. Not bad odds, but he made me pay for it. (3 deaths)

Shiva: Blizzara is brutal and her guards pack a serious punch too. I tried doing her at 12, but it required way too much good luck with the Elven Mantle and low rolls on damage. Even the Starfall was a desperation measure that paid off - Starfall has a chance of instantly killing whatever it hits. Including you. (5 deaths)

Adamantoise: Blind luck with the Elven Mantle and damage rolls was necessary unless I wanted to level. I didn't, so it was off to the RNG races. Fortunately, he played nice. (2 deaths)

And as for Sandworm, well.. stay tuned. He deserves his own honorable mention, away from this rabble.

LEVEL: 18
DEATHS (to bosses): 19
DEATHS (to random encounters): 2

Next time: We discover yet another way that Predict is horribly, horribly broken. (You may have already figured it out.)
