Wizardry 8 Retrospective, Continued

Continuing ever-so-close to the end, Tales of the Rampant Coyote’s Jay Barnson provides us with more spoiler-laden Wizardry 8 impressions.

If you may remember from my last Wizardry 8 post, I’d just mowed through a hundred Rapax Templars to expose the secret plot of the Rapax King, who had allied with the Dark Savant. This was after killing hundreds more Rapax in the Rift and in their own castle. I’d used this information to get the Umpani and T’Rang to ally with each other, and used that combined intelligence and firepower to blow up the Dark Savant’s ship.

Making my way to a previously-discovered path to Ascension Peak for the final showdown, I found that the Rapax had blocked it off with a massive landslide. A bunch of low-level Rapax were patrolling the area, and mocked me with their announcement of how they rocked, I sucked, only they can go to Ascension Peak, nyah-nyah-nyah. I sent them to the Ascension Peak in the sky, and decided to head back to Castle Rapax to see if I could find out how they were planning on making it to the peak after causing the landslide.

Once I got there, it was once again nearly non-stop combat. At one point, I had so many Rapax lined up to fight me (six groups averaging six or seven Rapax each) as they chased me into a dead end that THEY actually got bored with the fight and left.
