Royal Jelly T2 Boss - 10/19/11 - at 12 noon est
2 Star Gear - No Trinkets, No UVs, No deaths.
Helm --> Wolver Cap (2*)
Chestpiece --> Wolver Coat (2*)
Shield --> Bristling Buckler (2*)
Sword --> Calibur (2*)
Gun --> Proto Gun (0*)

I had to go to work shortly after the attempt, but I'm back and the video is *now* uploaded!

Went in with 2 curse vials, ran into some tough situations. Although when the situation brings you to 1 1/2 bars of health, no pills, no vials and 2 star gear...all you have is guts. I recorded a successful run before this one that went a smoothly vial-wise, but I forgot to record my inventory. Which is important when showing a run like this. Although the run done right after it recorded fine =)

*Edit* Good timing too! The patch is now out xD.

Looks like they really culled

Looks like they really culled his healing power. BTW, is that the remixed track from the SK album?

If only I didn't have to go through amazon to get it. :\

@ Starlinvf

Actually that's the theme from the Wild West level in Timesplitters 2. A track which hasn't reached the ears of enough people imo. With that said, I knew my video description was forgetting something lol.

**Just killed the new JK

I have it recorded and will be adding it to my uploaded videos.

The new JK got tons of heavy nerfs.

1. The new JK regenerates as much as he does in phase 2, but alot slower...this means alot less HPS.

2. No more mass of spiked jellies.

3. You know all of those small jellies pumped around JK all the time? This mechanic has been removed, the small jellies are now fired out by turrets in the 4 corners of the level, severly reducing any difficulty the small jellies gave.

**My thoughts are they brought the difficulty of the new JK down to the level of Twins because its a tier 2 boss. I guess the jelly boss will still be tough, but only in the form of the Jelly Queen.

With that said, my 2 star run on the Royal Jelly will be the first and last of its kind. My first impression vid will be linked in this thread soon.

**Edit** There's also a bonus that JKs crown gets damaged as he is more hurt, it kinda lets people know how is HP overall is looking. Phase two his crown is gone. Also...the turrets need to be tier 2 and the fight itself looks unfinished in terms of its design.
