The fact that there was only 4 small challenges also made it even quicker. Here they are:
- No PSI, bottle rockets, or bombs against the Kraken. Bash and Pray only! - Complete
- Throw the Pair of Dirty Socks at the Kraken. That way it won't seem so silly that the captain threw his slippers at the beast. - Complete (I was lucky to still have the dirty socks, as I was considering throwing them away earlier, but decided not to)
- Get all the Pink Cloud items before you face the boss. - Complete (Bracer of Kings, Rock Candy, Sudden Guts Pill)
- Defeat Thunder and Storm with only PSI Thunder. Put the Franklin Badge in storage beforehand so it's just your Thunder, too. - Incomplete (No PSI, however I did not use the Franklin Badge to make it a bit harder)
The worst part is that I have all of the PSI abilities because of my 1/128 challenge, which makes using them so tempting, but I still have refrained from using them.
Speaking of which, my current levels after all this 1/128 business are:
Ness(Elem): 79
Paula(Jacky): 65
Jeff(Braz): 73
Poo(Ching): 44 (he is a little low at the moment because I havent done any 1/128 grinding with him yet)
Anyway, thats about all for this, and I need my sleep.
