Collection Update #6

Collection Update #6

(June, 2018)

Halo 5: Guardians - Metal Case (Xbox One)

Assassin's Creed Chronicles - Russia (Xbox One)

MudRunner (Xbox One)

DOOM (Xbox One)


New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo Wii)


Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (Cinema)

Halo 5: Guardians in the Metal Case is pretty sweet, I have already played Halo 5: Guardians multiple times, via the standard edition. Inside the metal case, you also get Data Logs of the members of Blue Team and Team Osiris, as well as a metal constructible Forerunner Guardian.

Assassin's Creed: Chronicles - Russia is the last instalment in the AC Chronicles series, I played the other two games and I thought they were both pretty good, so I thought I might as well complete the series. Instead of being a 3rd person open-world game like the mainstream Assassin's Creed games, it is instead a 2.5 Dimensional Side-Scrolling Stealth game. You still go around assassinating people, sneak around in the shadows and use various historical weapons to kill guards, but it's a different look on Assassin's Creed.

MudRunner is an open world driving simulator, you drive large off road 4x4 and trucks to locations completing jobs, such as log delivery, fuel transporting and hazard waste removal; yes I know they are the same sort of missions. But unlike Forza or Grand Turismo, you need to select gears carefully, use the winch when you get stuck, navigate your way through muddy forests and deep rivers. I know it's not for everyone, but I enjoy it.

Doom is a fast-pace first-person-shooter, in which you, Doom Guy, are give the role to battle the demonic forces from Hell which have been released by the Union Aerospace Corporation on Mars. You need kill the demonic forces and their leader the Spider Mastermind, stopping the Union Aerospace Corporation and stopping the spread of demons to Earth.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a wii instalment to the Super Mario Bros series. It's still the normal side-scrolling mario game where Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad or Yellow Toad has let Bowser kidnap Princess Peach, on her birthday of all days, so they Mushroom Kingdom Heroes have to save the Princess from the evil wrong-doer in a another castle. It's the same old, same old game with three new power-ups: Penguin Suit, Propeller Mushroom and the Ice Flower - Ice Mario can throw Snowballs and freeze enemies, Penguin Mario can throw Snowballs, freeze enemies, swim quickly and slide on his belly & Propeller Mario can zoom up in the sky and glide back down, he can also use a spin attack.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is the sequel to the original Jurassic Park trilogy and I have to admit, it was a butt-tone better than the last Jurassic World film. As it turns out, the volcano on Isla Nublar is going to erupt and make all the living dinosaur go extinct for the second time. Claire Dearing is contacted by Benjamin Lockwood who wants to send her to Isla Nublar so she can help save several species of dinosaur, but Benjamin wants them to sell them to make millions. Claire makes Owen Grady go back to the island to help save dinosaurs, but the volcano erupts while they are on the island, they are able to escape but are forced to watch a Sauropod go extinct again as it becomes consumed by the volcanic lava. They go to the Lockwood Mansion are find the Indoraptor, another genetic mutated dinosaur which has been designed as killer machine which is going to be sold off to the highest bidder.

Thank you. Happy collecting.

How to catch Raikou, Entei & Suicune - Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen

Raikou, Entei and Suicune are Roaming Pokemon, what that means is that they will continuously jump around the map to different routes each time you; encounter a Pokemon, fight a trainer, enter a new route, enter a building, etc. So the best way to catch a Roaming Pokemon is to stock up on Repels, and go to a route where there is a patch of grass near where the route changes or a where there is a building. Spray a repel and have a Pokemon which is higher than the wild Pokemon but lower than 50 so you can encounter the Roaming Pokemon. This may take a while.

As soon as you counter the Roaming Pokemon, it will flee. You have time to use 1 Item or 1 Move if you Pokemon is faster. You can just throw the Master Ball and catch it easily.

The Legendary Beasts become Roaming Pokemon once you have helped Celio out with his Network Machine.

Only of the Legendary Beasts are available to you; 

If you chose Bulbasaur, you can catch Entei.

If you chose Charmander, you can catch Suicune.

If you chose Squirtle, you can catch Raikou.

Raikou is one of the Legendary Beasts, it is an Electric Type. It is weak to Ground. It has 4 moves; Thunder Shock, Roar, Quick Attack & Spark.

Enei is one of the Legendary Beasts, it is a Fire Type. It is weak to Ground, Rock and Water. It has 4 moves; Ember, Roar, Fire Spin & Stomp.

Suicune is one of the Legendary Beasts, it is a Water Type. It is weak to Electric & Grass. It has 4 moves; Bubble Beam, Rain Dance, Gust & Aurora Beam.

Suicune, Raikou & Entei

Post-Game - Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen

Once you have defeated the Elite Four & Champion, you will wake up in Pallet Town and be able to talk to Professor Oak, who ask you to fill more of the Pokedex. You need to obtain 60 Different Types of Pokemon, then return to him and he will give you the National Dex.

Once have the National Dex, you will be asked to help Professor Oak and Celio on One Island; to do so, you need to travel to Vermillion City and use the ferry to One Island. Once you meet up with Celio, he will tell you that he is working on the Network Machine so you can trade Pokemon with trainers from Hoenn (Ruby & Sapphire) and Orre (Colosseum & Gale of Darkness), but he needs a special gemstone which is at Mt. Ember.

Once you reach Mt. Ember, go to the North East to find two Team Rocket Grunts, who you need to defeat. They tell you that there is the Team Rocket Warehouse, but you need two passwords, they will give you one half of the password "Goldeen need log". Afterwards, they will disappear and you can continue through Ruby Path: Continue through the tunnels, going down the ladders, when you get to the 3rd floor you need to take the South West tunnel down a ladder, you will then get to a room full of panels with Braille. Then go down the next ladder to the Ruby Room, collecting the Ruby. Once you have the Ruby, return to Celio.

Once you have given the Ruby to Celio, he will then ask you to get another special gemstone, he will give you the Rainbow Pass and tell you to visit Four Island. Travel to Four Island and you'll bump into your rival, he has nothing interesting to say, so move on to Icefall Cave in the North East of Four Island. Once inside the cave, surf to the next room and you will have to get through the easy ice maze. The ice is frozen, but walking over the ice will crack it, walking over it a second time will make you fall through.

First Optional Ice you need to take North Tile, then climb up the ladder. Then take the South Tile to get Sliding Ice, which you slide south ways to climb another ladder. You can then pick up HM07 - Waterfall. Then head back to the starting room, teaching one of your Pokemon Waterfall and climb the waterfall. In the next room you will find Lorelei fighting a couple of Team Rocket Grunts, defeat one of them and they will tell you that the Team Rocket Warehouse is on Five Island; however you need to find the second half of the password. So you need to travel to Six Island.

Once you get to Six Island, travel South towards Ruin Valley, travelling to the centre of the valley to get to Dotted Hole. You'll notice it's a fall puzzle, there is a stone in the middle of each for with a Braille Word telling you which hole to fall down. (Up, Left, Right Down) On the bottom floor there is the Sapphire, but a Team Rocket Scientist will steal it before you can collect it. He tells you the second half of the password "Yea, Nah, Chansey" for the Team Rocket Warehouse. You can now travel to Five Island

Once you have got Five Island, go to the Team Rocket Warehouse, defeating the Team Rocket Grunts on the way. Now you don't have to go through the Push Pads Puzzle but you can get a couple of neat items. On the other hand, you can go straight on to battle the two Team Rocket Admins, then fight the Scientist to win back the Sapphire. Once you have defeated the Scientist, he will return the Sapphire to you, which you can then return to Celio. Celio will fix it onto the Network Machine so you can trade between Hoenn & Orre. Doing this allows you to have the ability to now catch one of the three Legendary Beasts from Johto.

Perfection #6 - Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection - ACR

Assassin's Creed Revelations is the third installment of the Ezio Collection, taking place right after Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. You play as Ezio Auditore, who travels to turkey in order to find and collect the Masyaf Keys so he can open Altair's Library underneath Masyaf Castle. Ezio travels to Turkey, befriending Prince Suleiman and the Ottoman Assassins. He also finds and begins to fall in love with Sofia Sartor, who helps Ezio find and locate Altair's Library. Ezio also exquishes the remaining Templar threat in Constantinople, helping Prince Suleiman in his race to become the new king.

There are 9 Memory Sequences, each with Optional Objectives, which I completed. There are 49 Achievements, worth 1000 Gamerscore. I also bought all weapons, armour, books and upgrades for Ezio. I also renovated Constantinople 100% . I also completed the Book Missions & Piri Reis Missions, as well as the Desmond Missions & Lost Archive DLC Missions. I also collected all of the Data Fragments and captured all Borgia Bases.

Difficulty 5.5/10

Time to complete: 27 Hours to 100%

Overall Enjoyment: 7.5/10

I really struggle with buying the last of the landmarks, even though I was regularly complete Assassin Contacts and buying shops to collect money. Also I experience the common Assassin's Creed trope of Ezio jumping to his death for no apparent reason... which got annoying really quickly.

Mouse Trap - Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection - ACR

Kill 5 Guards with a Scaffold after they have been stunned by Caltrops - 20

You will need:

Caltrop Bomb

You don't have to kill 5 Guards with one scaffold, it can be done multiple times to get 5 Guards in total.

You will need to find a Scaffold, which are scattered around the map. But there is one in the Janissaries' Camp, in the North West of the Map. You encourage the Janissaries over with a Cherry Bomb or by performing a Hook & Run, making them chase you. 

Either way, once the guards have close to the Scaffold, throw down a Caltop Bomb, stunning the guards with the caltrops. Then run towards the corner of the Scaffold, holding the B Button, making the scaffold collapse, killing the surrounding stunned guards.

How to craft a Tactical Caltrop Bomb:

Impact Shell

British Gunpowder

Caltrops

Mouse Trap is a children's board game which involves players making their way round the board attempting to get the Mice's Cheese. The players' mice can be captured by the mouse trap, which uses a convoluted mechanism to trap the mouse with the trap.

Caltrops are a anti-personal/anti-vehicle weapon which are scattered on the ground, causing a chaser to step on them, or a chasing vehicle to have a blow-out. The Caltrop are pointed spike tetrahedron, making the weapon to always land with a point facing upwards. The Caltrop was first used by the Romans against chasing horse-drawn chariots, attempting to stop the horse.
