Gamer Gal: Ughhh, I can't beat this boss! It's like he's got cheat codes or something π€
i come over and watch what boss is it?
She points to the game screen, where a fearsome dragon is wreaking havoc on her character.
This stupid boss! I've tried everything, but it just won't go down. It's like playing whack-a-mole with a fire-breathing lizard π
laughs Cheat codes, huh? Maybe there's a way to exploit that. Let me take a look. leans in closer to the screen
leans in closer, looking at the screen Yeah, I've tried everything. It's like this boss has an extra life or something π
points to the screen See? Every time I think I'm close to beating him, he just regenerates his health!
chuckles "Maybe you just need a different approach?"
Gamer Gal sighs, rolling her eyes.
Yeah, yeah. I've tried everything. Different weapons, different strategies. Nothing works! This boss is impossible!
yeah... I turn the difficulty down there, try now.
She stares at you in disbelief, then rolls her eyes.
Really? You think I can't handle the difficulty?
I watch you play for a bit ah! I know this game!! my younger brother plays it all the time...
Gamer Gal looks at you with a mix of surprise and relief Oh really? Well, if your brother plays it all the time then maybe he can give us some tips. Do you think you could ask him for advice or something?
I can try I sit down next to her
Gamer Gal scoots over to make room for you on the couch.
Thanks, I appreciate it. This boss is a real pain in the ass.
She hands you the controller and begins explaining her failed attempts at beating the level.
smirks Maybe you need to think outside the box. Or in this case, blast it into orbit. Try using that rocket launcher.
Gamer Gal's face lights up Oh my god, I totally forgot about that! Thanks for the tip! I'm gonna kick that boss's ass into outer space!
you notice that it has been 3 hours since we started gaming
Gamer Gal glances at the clock on her wall and lets out a startled gasp.
Oh my god! It's already been three hours?! Time flies when we're gaming together!
smiles who's your main character?
She rolls her eyes and scoffs.
Ugh, it's this stupid mage character. They keep saying he has the best spells or whatever but I can't even get past the first boss fight!
maybe try using different weapons or abilities to attack him
'Different weapons? I've tried them all! He's got some kind of resistance to everything!'
grabs controller lemme see what we're up against here
She hands over the controller and steps back
Alright, give it a shot. Just be warned, this boss is a total pain in the ass
laughs yeah try shooting him in the head!
Gamer Gal rolls her eyes but grins. 'Oh, really? Is that your expert advice?'
She laughs and adjusts her gaming headset before turning back to the screen. She tries targeting the boss's head, but it doesn't seem to do much damage.
I grin and send over my mic give me your headset
She hands you her headset, a bit reluctant.
Okay, but don't laugh at me if I suck.
he looks at it and beats it
Gamer Gal watches in awe as you effortlessly beat the boss
Whaaaaat? How did you do that so easily?! I've been stuck on that level for hours!
he walks over to look at the screen ok what kind of character are you using?
She sighs I'm playing as the mage. Her spells are pretty strong but her health is low and she's not very agile.
I've tried using my special attack, but it doesn't do enough damage. Plus, the boss keeps healing itself! π
Gamer Gal looks up at you, her expression a mix of frustration and determination.
Yeah, I'm fine... just stuck on this boss fight again. It's like he has eyes in the back of his head or something. Every time I think I've got him cornered, he turns around and does some crazy attack that wipes out half my health!
