Allosaurus fragilis: Make sure to only engage these skeletons when you have both the hookshot and the double-jump, as otherwise you won’t be able to successfully jump over its charge move without taking damage from the fire trail it leaves. A close-range weapon like a sword is best when counterattacking.
Protoceratops andrewsi: These are low to the ground, but they’ll jump over burst effects like the Freeze Wave. Instead, use homing missiles or the Pain Sphere to hit them. Most of them won’t take many hits, but they tend to swam.
Spinosaurus aegyptiacus: Use cluster bombs to discourage it from its lunging bite attack, the claw swipes can safely be ducked. If you’ve got the opportunity, triangle jump onto its back, as the thunder effects can’t hurt you up there. You can also try to rapid-fire these things down if you’ve got the laser upgrade.
Europasaurus holgeri: Offer these beasts a chestnut to pass without combat.
Liopleurodon ferox: This is not a dinosaur. If you are fighting one of these, let us know what you’re up to in the comments of this week’s What Are You Playing and include a note about fighting skeletal marine reptiles. Try to dodge its attacks or something, I guess.
​Andrew Ross (@dengarsw): Adventure Week in Pokémon Go is motivating, but sadly, I’ll probably be indoors most of Saturday… for a console party! I’ll be hitting up Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and maybe some card/board games.
Brianna Royce (@nbrianna, blog): Still playing Ultima Online. Made a tamer after many years of never seriously playing one, started rebuilding my gardening and dye empire, rescued my old paladin, played the market and doubled my cash. Still kind of shocked I’m really into it again. Wasn’t expecting to be.
Eliot Lefebvre (@Eliot_Lefebvre, blog): I have been informed that “feeling sad” is not a game, so instead I’ll be focusing on getting hyped for the upcoming expansion for Final Fantasy XIV, dipping into Final Fantasy XI, and naturally putting in some time with Neverwinter.
Justin Olivetti (@Sypster, blog): I have no grand aspirations this weekend, to tell the truth. With the personal story done, my Guild Wars 2 Engineer is poised to start on Season 2 content, and I have a hankering to wrap up Knights of the Fallen Empire in Star Wars: The Old Republic with my Imperial Agent.
Pierre, patron: I’m somehow addicted to The Division. Wandering in Manhattan and pacifying the island with my guns has become a daily relaxing phase for me, and the game is really gorgeous. No other MMO for me (is The Division really a MMO? You have two hours, start writing) , but I’m also playing Horizon: Zero Dawn on my PS4 and really enjoying it. It will probably be my game of the year for 2017, it’s been a really long time since I enjoyed a game this much. And there’s a lot of candy for the eyes in this one too. Enjoy your gaming weekend MOP readers; cheers!
Your turn!
