In the Zone while on a Mission Blitz to The End
Hi to ALL my Fellow Addicted Frontier Riders,
It's been about 3 weeks since I made my last post (didn't have time to get on here till now) when I was asking where I can get the last blueprint pieces for the Berserker and Phantom bikes and I just wanted to say Thanks to all those that replied to let me know where I could get them as I've got both bikes now and they're about halfway upgraded now as well !!
Once I knew where and what I had to do I decided to go on a Mission Blitz whenever I had a bit of spare time to play and for about 2 weeks I was in the Zone and ploughing through every level I played within about 5-8 tries on each track (always gotta have a few to learn a new track etc.) and next thing I knew I'd found the mountain of platinum parts needed for the girl making "The Beacon" and I had beaten A.N.B.A, Cassidy, Leroy and also done the Daily Prospector Missions to get the rest of the Phantom Blueprint Pieces as well (wish I could play like this in the PvP races as well. lol) so I finally managed to get the Phantom then I kicked Butch's butt on his track, 'The Grindhouse', only to be disappointed to find out that it's "The End" of the Story Missions.....

.....I was expecting there to be a load of new Missions / Tracks to play with the Phantom bike, similar to the ones we had with Igor when we got the Marauder !? :confused:
So with this I thought I'd have a go at doing the rest of the Ancient Guardian and Ghost Missions that I'd hardly played (thought this was a good time as I'd just whooped the others) and the last few missions of each were a proper challenge but I've finally managed to beat both of them until they each opened a new track for me.....I managed to beat the Ghost on his track fairly easily BUT the Guardian.....I like the track (Great Wall) but he is hard to beat seeing as he makes the jump across that gap halfway through the track, which just can't be done with a half upgraded Mantis, BUT after about 4-5 days of try after fail after try after stack after stress after crash after try after beer then even more beer and some much needed sleep, the next day.....I FINALLY managed to kick his butt.....

By the time I'd done beating the Guardian I had forgave RL for the fact that they designed the game to give us the final bike (not counting the Donkey) at the end of the story mode and found I'm even more addicted to Frontier than I thought plus I understand why my lady gets p#ssed at me sometimes too !! (gotta get her to like this game then all will be good. lmao)
I also jumped-up the World Leader Board quite a fair chunk to what I was when I last post from around Rank 4500'ish to 2717 now plus I've managed to get 22 of the 23 Data Cubes as well, just waiting to hit Lv.16 of the Slot Machine so I can get the 'Troll Lair' track and complete the outfit.....Unless someone knows if I can get this track anywhere else but the Slot Machine then please can you let me know, Cheers !?
Onward to more grinding for the Donkey bike now, I'm about halfway through the mountain of Blueprint Pieces needed so I've got a way to go yet.....This game is quality !!
I just thought, that after a few intense weeks, I'd share my achievement/s with you ALL and maybe others can post similar conquest stories of their own in this thread as well !?
Anyway, Thanks Again to ALL those that have replied to any of my questions and helped in any way shape or form as your words of wisdom helped to get me here.....Much appreciated and Thanks for Reading !! :cool:
!? Hope the 2 screenshots I added to this post are showing this time !?
