Backlog Blowout #2 - Metal Max Returns (Part 4)


     Grind, grind, grind.

     After yesterdays triumph over Dr. Rafflesia, all I really could do was just explore, which is ok.  To the north of Audrey was another town, Rocco, and to the east was a series of small buildings on some man-made overlooks on the coast.  In one of the buildings I found an NPC who sent me to another room where I had to deal with this:

Wait, what?
     He was actually pretty tough, killing one of my other guys, but after beating him and going back to the NPC, he coughed up a key to the next room over.  Inside I found a device that would unlock locked doors, so that was helpful.

     After that, more exploring.  Just west of Rocco was another hidden camp of vendors with more upgrades for my tank, and to the north of there was an old hospital.  People in Rocco had warned me of the hospital, but I had forgotten why.  Inside was another NPC who kept running away from me, I didn't really register that this was not a good thing, as he eventually stopped and confronted me.

This cant be good...
     It was Mad Muscle, the next monster bounty (In other words "Boss") that I had to deal with.  This guy was pretty damn tough.  Each hit seemed to drain about half the hit points from anyone he hit, and he got 2 hits per attack.  To make matters worse, if you hit him, he fell back into an ambulance where you could not hit him, and healed himself.  After two of my party members got killed I was all like "screw that" and fled.

Just before my ass beating.
     SO, right now I'm just exploring more and trying to level up.  Getting better gear and whatnot to be able to fight this guy without getting trounced.  To the northeast of Rocco on a beach was a cave that is only accessible sometimes (when the tide is out), and from there you can get to another island that's to the north.  There I found another camp, and another town to the north called Freeza.

     Hopefully over the weekend I'll have more time to explore further and deal with Mad Muscle.
