Leave Time for Sleep

Beat the game in just a little over 24 hours. I could've done it in closer to 21, but I was having some wild luck in the Mana Fortress. Something cool would drop, and I'd think, "Oh, I should go back and save." I wound up with all the best armor except for the boy's helmet, and the ultimate javelin and boomerang. I also got all my magic past level 8, which I didn't expect within this timeframe, was getting "nines" with almost every cast.

Now I'm tired. Happy new year, everybody.

But time flows like a river...and history repeats...

We started this as a multiplayer stream right before the pandemic—and we might return to that again—but for now, it's time for me to beat Secret of Mana in a single marathon sitting for my birthday! Will I make it?

Join us starting at 4pm CST and find out! Even if I can't, it'll be a fun party, so come hang out!

Early Throne Special - Secret of Mana - Session 3

I overslept! Time for a last-minute blog post. Previously, we were failing to beat the boss in the ruined Sprite Village...Spring Beak? I think that's its name.

Secret of Mana continues in a few minutes, just as soon as everyone's here and everything is set up!

Early Throne Special - Secret of Mana - Session 2

We assembled the party and reached Elinee's castle, driven there by multiple motivations. We freed the soldiers she'd imprisoned, but it's not quite safe for them to depart yet. We must confront the witch.

Secret of Mana continues at 3pm ET!

Early Throne Special - Secret of Mana

Using the power of Mana, a civilization had grown strong. In time, Mana was used to create the ultimate weapon: the Mana Fortress. This angered the gods. They sent their beasts to destroy the Fortress. A violent war rocked the world, and Mana seemed to disappear.

Before all was lost, a hero with the Mana Sword smashed the Fortress. Though the civilization had been destroyed, the world was peaceful again.

But time flows like a river...and history repeats...

Can you believe that Brendan has never played this classic?? We're all very excited to remedy that.

Join us today at 3pm ET as we begin Secret of Mana!
