[General Discussion] Dumb, dumb, dumb.

In Rogue Galaxy, there are special boss-type monsters that require you to hold up and item in order to "summon" the monster and fight it.

Well, on the planet Alistia, there's this big ol' deathscythe in a beached boat concept, and in order to summon him, you have to hold up an item that quenches the thirst of pirates, or something along those lines.

So I try everything I browse through everything in my inventory -- potions, tri-elixirs, resurrections, etc. Nothing's working. I look up and down and I'm just not seeing it. So I go to my strategy guide (where I could have looked all along...dur dur durr) and found that, lo and behold, it was an item called Pirate's Grog. Yeah. I had 5.

Another one's from MegaMan Legends. At the near-beginning of the game, you have to fight the Tronn family and the towers and tanks they've set out in a big field. I'm on the field running around destroying the tanks and towers and I can't figure out for the life of me what I'm supposed to do next. Now, the NPC I had spoken to said I should track them to the northern part of the field.

Of course, by field, the NPC meant the whole field, not just the northern part of the section I was in. That took about three hours.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

.....Post of the Decade, confirmed. Mod of the Millenium, confirmed. Holy shitfuck, that's the greatest rant I've ever read. You win at least a baker's dozen internets.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
