One of the Hint Giver's hints still says: That Mick fellow you may have heard about? Nobody knows who he is or what he's up to. You're just going to have to wait until he shows himself. It's been two years and he hasn't done it yet, so it may be ...

Ah, Mad Mick...Good times.

... level 8. A 12 day, nearly 70 hour, 16 mettle run? 20 hours longer than my last maso run! Burned about three sold hours in-game just fighting the Mick. Over and over and over and over and over again until I finally figured out a way to keep his mad-mode-instant-never-miss-smack from killing me. ...

Finally defeated Too Hard Mick. Only took me until level 13. Bloody Hell! As an Elementalist I had The Fire Within maxed, Firestorm maxed, turkey feather wand and other +spell damage. Used a couple of recyclonizer bots and still took a ...

I hate Hard Mode the Mick. Thanks Kinak! You're a right bastard.

Aww. I wanted to turn The Mick into taffy!

... any problems. If you do another Elem run pm me and I can send you a rough guide. Also, the game knows that you want a full day to deal with the Mick. It also knows, if you have Villains on, that you when you clicked on the Mick's room, you really just wanted to fight Kookoo the Klown.

The game is a comedian at times. After a storming run through Mick's tower I ended up with 0 turns left and the fight with Mick to finish up. I know there is a room after that anyway, but seriously! Oh how I laughed

... requirement that it must be a no pulls run, otherwise the challenge is ruined. Flavor-wise, this could be built in after originally defeating the Mick. You find a machine they were working on that modulates the behavior of all the enemies in town and adversely affects you (due to your talisman).

I did notice. And I went and found a what I needed in the desert in about 10 turns so I was dead pleased.

Now just on the hunt for stuff in the NCI live building so I can progress. I'll be level 15 by the time I fight Mick at this rate!

Nommy

Wow that is a complicated way to get Super Jump. Definitely go for the desert, on the way to getting the item you need you'll pick up some nice webbed sands that will help with the Mick.

... fought 20 battle drones in that time and nothing. I'm wearing +8% item drops too. Without super jump it looks like I'm stuck in the building with Mick and I'm on a Maso run. I think I found out what is so nightmarish about such a run as I can't just buy something to help me make the item I need! ...

Cristiona

A level. For Psionic Blast. Otherwise, there are some very useful pieces of equipment in the building itself. I've found a slick (or alluring) suit and a long knife can do wonders. Especially if you open with some webbed sand as mentioned above. Also, assuming you're wearing either the Intellectual...

Best tip would be to buy some TNT and blow him up. Otherwise, wait a level or two, and also make sure you don't have a lot of buffs running when you face him since some of his defenses feed off that.

Try having it fire off 3 times in a row when you're trying to take down a quest boss. :/

Actually my record is 14 vs the Mick

Cristiona

The Mick didn't fare much better:

You attack ... you ricochet your bouncy ball off anything and everything 25 times for 1598 + 812 damage.

Rawr!

... *just* for simple retcons, so this argument is almost moot.) If you really want to tie Prestige with retcons, though, then have the players donate Mick drops as league trophies, earning a small amount of Prestige with each item so donated.

... pleased so far, but there's still two days of potentially favorable rng to go. edit: day 4 now down. 3 turns shy of 4 days.

However, I could just as well have used 3 round stunners but I might have had to use like 5/fight instead of 1 tnt and ...

Day 22: Finished off the Mick and grabbed his vest! Went back to Rand who reported about some activity on the rooftops so I started looking into it. Got halfway through the lvl 12 quest before I went back to spend a few turns at the castle ...

Ended my run by accident.
Thought it could be nice to start opening up the station, so I clicked on Susan...only a split second later I remember that, as I had defeated the mick, that meant ending the run.

Oh well. It was a pretty sucky run anyway, was only level 22.

zatade

Hi Kinak: Thanks for the really speedy reply. A Gadgeteer retcon already sounded like fun, this should make it even better. Once Mick has the decency to die, I shall give it a try:)

End of day 4:
lvl 14
Mick beaten
186 turns saved

Slow leveling from 11-14...

... DAY 4 Gah. Took a wrong turn downtown. Was aiming at the criminology lab and accidentally went to the police station. Didn't mean to fight the Mick this early, wanted to keep my sidekick longer. Have hit level 15 now, with no turns saved. DAY 5 Levelled to 17. Too weak to spend much time at ...

Harry Dresden

You can beat the Mick any time your heart desires. You just can't finish the run, aka go into the last room and talk to Susan, until you hit 50.

Cristiona

Also, question: Do we have to beat the Mick at 50 or can we do so earlier?

Cristiona

Level 50 with "some"? Ugh. That's gonna take most of March.

Run requirements: Run can not end until you level up to 50.

So we have to fight the Mick at 50? Or is he irrelevant?
