How many tries did it take you to beat Maat?

Beat him in one try, but I overprepare for all my big fights. :spin:

One time only, and at Lv66 too. But I went nuts and prepared like a mothafokka.

Well, most people will tell you that RDM Maat is probably the most difficult Maat of all. A lot of people don't realize this, but when genkai5 was first released, for about the first 3 months he was EVEN MORE difficult. If you don't believe me, feel free to check out the thread I made about him several, several months ago over in the RDM forum. Lotta people who were lvl 70 back in November '03 were having serious, serious trouble beating him.

Anyways, because I'm incredibly stubborn and refused to beat Maat by using some method other than the method I had always played the game, and because he was incredibly, incredibly difficult, and because I was overly handicapped by being Elvaan (2nd lowest MP + lowest INT), it took me about 20 tries.

Yeah. You heard me.

20 tries.

I kept plugging away at it though, and the day the patch was put into place to make him easier, I beat *THAT* version of Maat on the first try. So, I guess it depends on how you look at it. I lost to the original, extremely difficult version of RDM Maat 20 times. That version had many, many RDMs threatening to quit the game altogether because he was so difficult.

But the Maat that most of the NA RDMs have fought.. I beat that on the first try.

Confusing enough answer for you?

I was facing PLD Maat.

First time was just a warm up or whatever you want to call it.

Second time i died.

Third time I lost 'cause time was up, yeah that's right, 10 minutes did i survive him lol.

Fourth time i figured I'd go with all out attack, instead of all out defence as I had doen the previous times.
Yeah he was cake then. :D

So four ; ;

By the way I beat him the second time around. I was kind of dumb the first time I brought 2 yag drinks and 5 hi-potions.

Second time I learned Hi-Ethers take a long time to activate.

Well I was fighting the easier Maat ... but still got him on 4 try.
But really Sharm don't really get me down because she had experience ;P

No, that would be one try. If you didn't "try" to do it, you never would have won.

Its a joke genius.

Rai · 02-15-2005, 04:24 PM

Jokes are funny, that wasn't. You were just trying to be a little wise-ass.

In the future I will try harder to impart my disdain for wise-ass posts with my responses. So you get my meaning too, Genius.

Laehn · 02-15-2005, 05:30 PM

Whos the wise ass? Jesus. Lighten up my arrogant.
