Tonight it was time to get back to Giants, and I finished off Delphi’s missions. The base mission I’d left off at was fairly easy, and it was then followed by yet another reaperski race. This one was actually fairly frustrating, since it was difficult to pass the other guys without getting bumped around too much, and once in front I pretty much had to pick up boosts and use them near-perfectly in order to remain in front. It must have taken me a half-dozen tries, and I was starting to wonder if I was going to be permanently stuck there.

Then after that was yet another base mission, again fairly easy. This time the attackers started showing up earlier, so I had to defend the base a bit before the walls were up, but the time slow spell made that fairly easy and once the turrets were down the base could pretty much take care of itself, as usual. After that was the boss fight against Delphi’s mother, Sappho, and again it wasn’t too hard. She kept leaping all over the place, but some sword strikes when she was close and sniper arrows when she was up on high ledges quickly took care of her.

Now I’m starting Kabuto’s missions (though technically I’m still Delphi…), and the first couple just involve a lot of stomping around, bashing buildings and squishing enemies, and eating Evil Smarties in order to gain power. The control is quite different, since he’s a huge monster, and he feels a bit weak right now since he has no ranged attack yet, but he has a ton of health. You need it though, since as a huge monster you can’t exactly dodge the enemies, and there’s no health replenishment. By the end of the first mission I was already down to about half health. (Edit: Oh, reading up elsewhere, eating non-Smarties will replenish health. That’ll be useful.)
