APPARENTLY.

YOU CANNOT BE AWESOME AND DEAL OVER 9000 DAMAGE TO HIM BEFORE HE SUMMONS PIXIE AND AHARABAKI.

BECAUSE THEN THE DEMI-FIEND MEDIARAHANS HIMSELF.

THE DEMI-FIEND MEDIARAHANS HIMSELF

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE COULD DO THAT BECAUSE ALL THE FAQS AND VIDEOS SAY IT'S PIXIE/PARVATI WHO WILL DO IT. Pixie not mediarahaning is a side effect of the Red Star method, after all. BUT NO. APPARENTLY THE DEMI-FIEND CAN HEAL HIMSELF AND THAT IS HOW I DIED.

I THINK THE REASON NO FAQ MENTIONS THIS IS BECAUSE NO ONE DEALS THAT MUCH DAMAGE TO THE DEMI-FIEND IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. That and it's such a small window of opportunity to put him under 9k HP while he has no demons summoned.

And then in a later attempt, my entire party dies from a Mamudoon despite everyone having Death Resistance. I'm starting to think my friend is very good at jinxing optional boss fights. WE HAD A VERY PRODUCTIVE CHRISTMAS. No, really, we did. We made some cute papercraft decorations and chilled and then found a praying mantis chilling on my driveway.

/yeah I basically went and did the fight again because I'm a masochist apparently but it is so much fun.

So yeah, finally I'm writing up a little bit about the Malaysia part of my holiday this year. Singapore, which makes up a significant portion of my photos and things I actually did, will come later. We were actually in Malaysia for serious family reasons (despite it being Chinese New Year), but because I don't understand all the languages being tossed around, I obviously can't quite grasp the gravity of the situation. And aside from the sheer amount of time just not doing anything because it was so hot and humid and the fan does nothing, I actually ended up "tutoring" my younger cousin and someone else in her class. Unfortunately, because my maths isn't that good, it was hard to teach them that stuff, but chemistry... chemistry was really easily to explain to my younger cousin. I was actually surprised I remembered as much as I did, which makes me wonder why I'm not doing a course that's chemistry related.

But yes, photos. I didn't actually take all that many photos because it's like, the 4th time I've been to Malaysia. ( So instead you get a few photos of dogs and kittens )
