He’s worth a lot of Boos!
If you pay attention, Boolossus has 15 Boos on screen before the fight. And each counts as part of the 50 we need to collect! So, assuming there are no more boss fights like that one, we actually only need 35 that aren’t part of a boss. That’s not so bad. 50 isn’t really all that bad, either, but I won’t complain about a 30% bonus.
We now have all of the element medals, but the mansion’s explorable area is getting bigger, so there’s more backtracking (and remembering) required as we continue forward. And remembering where everything is is indeed getting taxing! When E. Gadd said to look for rooms with mirrors, I found myself hoping I would never have to do something like that again. The map is helpful, but it doesn’t have every little detail on there. If I want a specific element, I do have to actually remember where stuff is, particularly ice, as I’ve only found one room with that so far.
As this game is a first playthrough, I don’t really know what’s coming up next. I don’t know how much of the game is left, or how long I’m likely to take doing it, or hardly anything else. All I have left now from watching others is that I know where the final boss fight takes place. I’m not even totally sure I remember who the final boss is. I think Bowser is involved somehow? But we got that from Madame Clairvoya today. I guess we’ll see when I get there.
