I finished off the Mecc campaign in Giants by finding Timmy. I didn’t say I rescued him, though… And coincidentally enough we finally met the titular Kabuto and discovered that they sacrifice people to him. We won’t be seeing more of him until later, though.

The final mission introduced an RTS-ish element where I had to collect Smarties and food so that they would build a base for me, composed of a shop, a command centre, a shield generator, walls, and…a pub for the Smarties. It started off tougher than it should have been since I didn’t realize how to set them to work for a while, so I was a bit behind versus the enemy forces that kept showing up, and died a couple times. Fortunately you keep your base between deaths, so I didn’t have to completely start from scratch.

Then Delphi’s missions started, with some basic tutorials on how to use her spells, long-distance leaping ability, and combat. She doesn’t have as much long-range power as the Mecc, but her close-range sword is pretty powerful. Soon after there was a base-building mission for her too, and it was much easier this time around now that I knew what to do.

Then she stole a ‘reaperski’ and a few vehicle segments followed, including a series of races against the enemy Reapers. The second race was the most frustrating for some reason, requiring about five retries thanks to getting bumped around and losing momentum or missing a boost or something. And then oddly enough I beat the third, supposedly-toughest race on the first try…

And now next there’s another base-building mission for her, and it doesn’t sound any different than the first one so far (build base enough to produce the Tornado spell, use it to destroy enemy’s base, exactly like the first one).
