Only M1 challenge

Complete the AO storyline only using M1s. No spells, no techniques, no rites, no skills. Only clicks.

this unfortunately makes one specific boss… near impossible.
if you guessed Maria, you’d be correct.
She does way, WAY too much damage if you dare to get in her face, and she has her infamous iframe spam.

block parry dodge

And no gun/bow?

Guns and bows have M1s which is allowed. Their skills are prohibited.

Welp, this makes the challenge way easier then

That’s genuinely pretty easy because guns exist

And bows

didn’t someone already do this

Conjurer supremacy

Guns.

Sir.
Are you high?
Just stand at the bow of the ship and hold block.
It’s that simple.

Lady Carina :fearful:

What? I’ve beaten Maria m1s-only simply because it’s actually insanely efficient. The damage you can rack up is crazy. I think it’s best with Light Magic thanks to the speed.

this is actually exactly why M1s are the way to go with maria, nothing beats their DPS or even comes close.
she’s grounded, has attacks that are unlikely to miss you anyways, and has an invincibility shield she activates every 3 seconds.
you want as much DPS in this race as possible.

one of the reasons people find Maria to be so tough to kill on their first go around is because she isn’t designed like an AO boss at all.
The arena is tiny, has a low ceiling, and she isn’t all that agile either.
you can’t really fight her like any boss that came before her.

The “do what warlords usually do” challenge

yeah captain maria was not really fun as a boss really… i REALLY liked her first phase because the ship arena is really fun to manage and dodging the water tentacle things added some positionals… BUT they had to make the worst 2nd phase ever (THAT BECOMES THE MIRAGE BTW!!!) with a tight arena that is made irrelevant by jumping out of the lower area

also, she breaks and freezes after a few attacks:

so if you survive doing nothing for a few minutes youll probably be able to just finish her off no effort

I already did this but with potions

This so free…
