Santo Pollo Ahoy!
Santo Pollo, ahoy! After doing, like, what, three dungeons? Two? Five bosses? Four? Who knows… I had to do a whole lot of hard fights, and died a lot. Well, after all that hard work, I got to Hidden Valley Ranch. …Whoa there, Hidden Valley Ranch? Like this???
No, no, no. Not like that. Like this…
Yes, yes, yes. Like that. That, was a hard dungeon to solo. Kind of a teleport-back-six-times-hard dungeon. Anyway, after beating up some cheese, (seriously, one of the bosses was Monterrey Jack), I headed back to Merriweather Clark’s home. There was a Red Sash surprise waiting for me! I defeated Johnny Ringo- not too hard- and then talked to Clark. He told me that he would let me know where his father’s piece of Marco Pollo’s map was, since I had saved his life… Twice. Merriweather… Seriously? Another dungeon? Whatever. I went over to the Scorpion Rock Cave to find the map, only to find it’s missing. Things are always missing. There was a note from Captain Blood. Who is this Captain Blood? Let Mr. Argleston explain.
Well then. That didn’t really help much, did it? Captain Blood is a pirate, obviously, and is infamous, obviously. To find him, I need the help of El Toro.
That El Toro. Who is El Toro? Let TheDeathshard‘s video explain.
Here’s a quote from a previous post (on this blog, of course.)
El Toro, the mysterious masked champion of Cool Ranch. Saving the innocent from evil such as the Banditoads, El Toro is a legend. He was almost never seen though. All we know is that he leaves a mark “T.” I am now defending the townsfolk so that I may get El Toro’s attention and get *that* much closer to getting the map. Here’s a quote from Pirate101.com just to sum up a little snippet of the Cool Ranch storyline.
Cool Ranch is a land of legendary figures: heroes like the Chicken Rangers, Wild Bill Peacock, and the masked hero El Toro, fighting lawlessness and standing up for the humble settlers; but the wild frontier has also fostered terrible outlaws like Libirdy Valence, El Guapo, and the dreaded Duck With No Name. Smugglers and pirates have always been drawn to Cool Ranch – far from everyplace, the dusty realm is an ideal place to hide.
But other than that, who is El Toro even supposed to be, other than the protector of Santo Pollo? KingsIsle made a play on words from Zorro, check it out- HERE
See the resemblance? Well anyway I thought it was cool how they can sneak things in like that (ex: Hidden Valley Ranch, El Toro, etc). Now, in Santo Pollo, I have to try and catch the attention of El Toro by doing favors for the townsfolk. My first mission? Collect sugar. I guess… It’s a start. Well, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll start fighting some Banditoads.
Pirate101 Gameplay – Swashbuckler
No, William isn’t already in Valencia 😛 This is from my Swashbuckler character, Evan Keeler. I’ve done SI and MQ on him. So I raised the anchor and sailed for 10 minutes + to Valencia. I’ve been trying to find Marco Pollo’s map to El Dorado the legend before the Armada do. There’s a Puppet Show that tells you all about El Dorado.
I had to find Marco Pollo’s tomb in Granchia, so I went into the catacombs and did the dungeon. It was pretty easy, as you only had to kill the boss(es). I found that the piece of the map had been taken weeks ago by the Armada, but I found a Blue Windstone instead, which will take me to Cool Ranch! 🙂 I went back to Captain Steed the Unicorn, who had helped me all along in this part of Valencia. He told me that he knew the Unicorn who heard Marco Pollo’s last words, and that I can find him in Monquista. When I talked to Varo, the Unicorn, he told me that El Dorado had powers in it that must never be awakened, or they could destroy the Spiral! Then he stated that Christopher Clark in Cool Ranch had a piece of the map.
Then, I went off into Cool Ranch to look for Christopher Clark! If you’ve read the Special Post, you’ll know what happens there. 🙂 I don’t have much else to say as a Swashbuckler, other than I’ll be back on William the Witchdoctor tomorrow!
