So after 3 hr 30 mins, I finished the all stars turn left. Is that it? The ending that is. IMHO, paradox sure know how to make the game super hard. I could finish the entire game without dieing or if dieing not frustrated with 30 min boss battles. Even Asatur (or wherever was the last boss in the original game) is very easy compared to the first boss (spider) in all stars turn left. Bosses in the adventure DLC were tedious. It was slightly hard but more often tedious. Also, the way I defeated each boss is different than what paradox intended too. I'm not going to post it on youtube or tell how but lets just say without the methods it would be longer and harder. No, I did not hack the game or did anything. Just played it differently. Or maybe that was how paradox intended people to play it. Also, one DLC character pack equipment made it slightly easier.

Also, previously the shield spell and regeneration staff were great. Unlimited immunity. Now, does not really work since you can't regenerate the shield and all I did was heal foes who got close to me.

I was hoping for more actually. It was great. Only those who truly master the game mechanics or keep playing those challenges can play it alone. I was on the verge calling my mates up helping me with that last octopus boss in the DLC until I noticed a very easy method. Once I finished the game, it says 4/7 complete. So how to get the rest? Also what about the spell books which you cannot get? The one on the tree and the password one pass the door I think.

In the end, I only had:
haste, revive (got those immediately)
levitation
portal

I noticed from wiki there is a way to get the rest, so will that solve the 7/7?
 
Fire a rock at the tree I think, or use Earthquake (Rock AOE).
As to the password one (talking to the person in the town?) you haveto talk to the person x times until they say "ok, go to the curiosity shop" or something similar (but not more than that), then go and speak to the curiosity shop person, they'll give you the magick.
Can't remember the other you one you missed, but you can definitely get them all.

As to regenerating shields with healing being inlimited immunity well, don't you think UNLIMITED IMMUNITY is a bit OP? That's why they changed the mechanic. You can still manually recharge shields but it drains again pretty fast, (but too fast tbh now).

Also please don't complain about the difficulty if you're doing it solo, Magicka is designed as a co-op game at its core, so if you're doing it solo then that's Hard mode. :p
 
After retrying the game a second time. I got all within 2 hours solo play.

Also use the propps party plasma for the last boss. Down from 30 mins to 3 mins. as for the 2nd boss, I just brought him out to the lake. Only needing to grind the first boss.

I actually see no use for shield now. Too fast. Only need it to take the damage in final boss when it uses the morphing spell thingy.

Problem is my friends have not purchased this new DLC yet :/ So I got to wait. Well they will be calling me asking to help them when its tough :p

Still wished a conclusive ending though
