Season 17 (Season of Nightmares) – Slayer

Slayer was a bit difficult for me, especially since I was playing a Hardcore Barbarian. I had to be really careful about the choices I made, or she would be dead and I’d have to level up a new character.

I had only completed two Slayer objectives by the time I started working on it. The Set Dungeon was frustratingly difficult. So, I skipped it and started working on objectives from upcoming parts of the Season Journey.

UPDATE: I was eventually, after many attempts, able to complete the Raekor’s Set Dungeon. This was the last thing I needed to do to finish the Slayer part of the Season Journey.

Pokémon GO: Medals

There are a lot of medals that players can earn in Pokémon GO. It is possible to earn all of them simply by playing the game as you typically would.

There are three versions of each medal: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Some medals offer special bonuses to players, or unlock in-game items.

Here are the medals that I have earned all three versions of in Pokémon GO (so far). This blog post will be updated when I earn more.

Season 17 (Season of Nightmares) – Chapter IV Completed

I decided to play a Hardcore Barbarian in Season 17, and felt like my progress was moving very slowly. Things sped up dramatically after I acquired more Ancient items.

The special thing about Season 17 is the Community buff:

While you have no Set bonuses equipped every Ancient item you have equipped increases your damage dealt by 750% and reduces your damage taken by half.

Kitchen Scramble App – Cookiehagen

Cookiehagen is the eleventh town in the Kitchen Scramble game. The recipes in this town include a variety of cookies, and some foods and beverages, that seem like things people would consume near Christmas.

The cold, snowy, landscape of Cookiehagen seems impossible since it is located right next to warm, sunny, Albuqueso.

It turns out that Pepper, the player character, accidentally ended up there.
