[.. that is because you've came to close to the vile truth]
We couldn't find her. Not here, nor in hell.
We broke the skies and ripped open the very earth we stand on but still didn't get any answer.
My rage flows red like blood.

As the blade of fate nears with the revalation of the phrophesy, another prophesy is revealed.
And thus comes a pain greater than the wound.

[Albey Ruins, where time has halted.]
| Habskii- yeah i know..mabinogi referral...it get's more interesting XD |
With the entrance located where the heroes already passed, whats inside is like nothing they every encountered before.
Where time halts and even the gods hold their breath.
A place that exists and yet doesn't exist.

[The entrance to albey which is located within the sewers, there awaits powerfull enemys]
Craftful Colu - a powerfull combined golem boss
Lynotos - A beast from another dimensions that freely leaps around the terrain.
Shining Shakal - The battle against the leader of the fomors is done while transformed
Controlled Blackhammer - with varied attacks with his shifting weapon

At a time like this why does my laptop go bad, can never hit over lvl50 at this rate :v. The Boss theme is epic \o/ But missing out soo much on Epic boss fights :C

btw. do people play vindi on gaming laptops or desktops?
Habskii wrote on 2011-06-20 08:16

lol, my laptop also has ****ty graphics it's prefered to play on a desktop with a nice cpu and GFX i guess. If u are using a laptop i guess a 2009+ would be better buh nowadays, newer laptops have belt in gfx that can play this game on normal or semi-awesome settings. I'm currently using a Gateway NV Series laptop and the gfx are on Low D;, with a stock gfx card (intel family w.e its ****ty self is called)

I now realize im gunna have to make another thead for the bosses in ep.9 e.e

And thanks Habskii for all of this info!!! Ep 9 seems awesome! As bad as I want this to come out in NA, I'd much rather them update the avatar shop... They're way past overdue with hairs and inners.

Shining Shakal is the boss at :46-:54 in the video.
He's the leader of the fomors.
Though that lizardman is pretty suspicious with his antagonizing antics.
Habskii wrote on 2011-06-20 08:33

If i may say, Shakal is the Commander of the Fomorian Army...not the leader (well head leader)

Well, true. I just refer to him as the "leader" because that's what he's referred to as of now in Vindictus.

Could the golem boss relate to the Golem boss in Mabi G2? (Tab??? something) since they are both made of gold in some kind of relation. I havent looked up into the story behind that G2 boss.
Habskii wrote on 2011-06-20 09:04

lol not sure...im an elf on mabi, well i played one and i haven't gotten my human that far into G2
Falco Wave FTW >:C

Question: At around :40 in the video, Fiona does a Shield Charge and it goes into slow motion to show her jumping in the air and doing something with her shield. Is that like a new skill or something, or an add-on to a higher ranked Shield Charge? Cause when I play Fiona, my shield charge has never done that. And it looks awesome.

Shield Charge always ends with a Shield Bash, the animation is fairly short (and non existant if you HS cancel after the first hit), but that's what you're seeing. The slowmo is obviously there for effect. Trying to get some boss kills on earlier boats with the tail end of Shield Charge might get you a screenshot of the jump if you're interested.

It's hard to see while playing due to the effects flying all over the place when you charge.
