The fire balls tend to fall along the path you ran, now run towards the fireballs on the ground, and this is where it gets tricky. </p> <p>Single jump just before you get to the fire on the ground, but don't get the maximum height from the single jump, about half the maximum height is what I do. Make sure your moving Thor forward as your jumping, as soon as your at the end of the fire trial, it's usually about 2 fireballs long, and you should still be airborne, tap the jump button again and double jump, while still moving forward. If you do it right, you'll dodge both the falling fireballs, and the fire on the ground. Finally, run to the opposite end of where you were, when you started that process, and repeat until the fireballs stop.</p> <p>Sorry, if that's confusing, but that's the only thing i've found that works, but again, I still manage to get hit sometimes. </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/young-thor-review#post-2201 Sat, 24 Jul 2010 16:11:50 +0000 ThumblessHamster 2201@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>Ofaliss, any tips on dodging the dragon's fireballs? That meteor shower thing he does can wipe out half my health if I don't dodge well, and they almost seem to track you when you move. </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/young-thor-review#post-2197 Sat, 24 Jul 2010 14:02:54 +0000 O 2197@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>Thanks, i'll give it a try. I rarely use the triangle button! Also, after reading the achievement over, you can take damage from the dragon, just not his fire attacks, I finally got that one, now i'm just repeatedly fighting Hel, so I can completely memorize her attacks, that way, ill have no problem dodging her daggers and magic. Once I do that, the only achievements I have left are the birds, and getting to level 99, i'm 91 at the moment. </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/young-thor-review#post-2196 Sat, 24 Jul 2010 12:53:15 +0000 ThumblessHamster 2196@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>The birds are easy to take out if you do the X+/\(hold) attack. The one where Thor spins in midair. I discovered he keeps spinning as long as you hold the button until you hit the ground, so it's great for airborne enemies.</p> <p>Solo, I don't normally get this excited about a game, but I really think Frima's got the right idea with Young Thor. Minis like this bring customer loyalty as people figure out which companies are actually trying to provide good quality. After this and Zombie Tycoon, it's pretty much a given that when Frima releases something, I'm buying it.</p> <p>Lord Rushton, it is a sidescrolling platformer brawler. Like every other sidescrolling platform brawler ever made, when you're done, there isn't much to do except replay levels just for fun. Young Thor makes it a bit more interesting by providing achievements and dictionary entries that you can unlock by meeting certain conditions. If that doesn't thrill you, then the answer to your question is, I suppose, 'nothing'. This sort of game is meant to be played through, set aside, then picked up again a few weeks or months later and replayed in its entirety. Rather like Mario, or Sonic the Hedgehog, or some games of that nature. </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/young-thor-review#post-2195 Sat, 24 Jul 2010 11:36:57 +0000 Lord_Rushton 2195@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>I'm tempted but once you've completed it, what is there to do? </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/young-thor-review#post-2194 Sat, 24 Jul 2010 09:40:52 +0000 Solo the Hutt 2194@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>good review thumbless!</p> <p>your enthusiasm for this game really make me wanna buy it! </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/young-thor-review#post-2192 Sat, 24 Jul 2010 07:03:25 +0000 O 2192@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>I have those two left to do as well, the giants shouldn't be a problem, but those birds annoy me! After those, I just have to beat the dragon and Hel, without taking any damage, looking forward to those!

I think up until level 55, you gain a level every time you beat the squirrel thing, then it's every 2 fights up to around 60, if I remember correctly. I was 70 when I first beat the dragon, and I had no problems. Even if you manage to beat the dragon at your current level, you won't stand a chance against Hel, I was 81 when I beat her, and she killed me the first time I fought her. </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/young-thor-review#post-2186 Sat, 24 Jul 2010 03:27:52 +0000 ThumblessHamster 2186@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>I seriously doubt you'll regret it. And I was trying to defeat the dragon at level 39. I'm not sure, that may be too low. I'm resisting the temptation to cheap-level with Ratatoskr (or however you spell the squirrel's name) since even at level 40 I can kill him in thirty seconds and gain a level each time &gt;.&lt; </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/young-thor-review#post-2184 Sat, 24 Jul 2010 03:10:00 +0000 sublime90 2184@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>ive been hearing nothing but good things about young thor. adding to cart and purchasing now. </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/young-thor-review#post-2183 Sat, 24 Jul 2010 03:08:26 +0000 O 2183@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>I will say, the dragon is the most troublesome boss in the game. Hel does more damage than the other bosses, but her pattern is easy to figure out, and once you do that, it's a pretty easy battle. The dragon's pattern isn't hard to figure out, it's just hard to dodge it's attacks, making the achievement where you take no damage from him, VERY challenging, I haven't been able to do it yet. </p> http://www.pspminis.com/forums/topic/young-thor-review#post-2181 Fri, 23 Jul 2010 23:34:06 +0000 ThumblessHamster 2181@http://www.pspminis.com/forums/ <p>The purple squirrel creature was a disappointment. However...the dragon is far more to my taste. Yes, you do fight a dragon. He's a pain. A delicious, delightful pain. Like scratching at a scab. One that breathes fire. And...yeah. That analogy doesn't work. </p>
