Commander Garoo

[jonnyrebel00]

I have pretty much been doing that. I have been at it so long that it is almost hard to believe that he actually will eventually show up. How in the world did anyone find him the first time I wonder. I mean, I dont hang out and randomly refresh pages just for the sake of it, lol. Ill keep it up though. Thanks for the luck.

LOL. He can be frustrating. I think I had all of the announcements memorized before I finally got him

Good luck!

[jonnyrebel00]

Just an update. I am still working at it. Ill keep at it and when i finally get it Ill let yall know.

Listen, getting Garoo is driving me nuts! Does anyone have any ideas about how to beat him once I actually do get his challenge (if I ever do?!?!)

I noticed nobody replied to this yet, so I thought I would look over Commander Garoo's profile and give my two cents.

...Well, he's no pushover. You will of course need a large amount of stats to take his damage, and to take care of his 120 Hit Points of doom. He uses a lot of Earth and Physical attacks, so if you have the Leaf Shield, that's almost all potential damage (minus the Dark and Wind). To hurt him, a cheap Scarab Ring's 2 Dark would always get through, and Fire Snow does 2 Fire + Light that he can't defend against. At least that's what this thing is saying. Let's face it? I've been out of the loop so long i need to be reminded about stuff.

Jacob, I think I will be able to handle him if I can get him to pop up as a challenger. I still haven't even been able to do that. Still trying though......

Ok, I've been on Neopets for seven years (off and on), and I STILL don't have him! Hoping the magic hasn't worn off yet!

Edit: 3 minutes later, NEW BATTLEDOME CHALLENGER!
So, clearly it works...

Luck was with you, and it was bound to happen eventually. Lotteries is ever sketchy like that.

To keep the conversation fresh, I've considered the idea of defeating Commander Garoo a certain number of times for awesome. Right now I'm at 6...how high should I go? Granted, the top defeaters of Garoo are at 2,455 wins, which I know I'll never get, so don't even try and tell me to go that high (or any number on the list for that matter).

[Blue]

Wow. 2,455? That is a lot of times to beat Garoo! That person seems to have a lot of time on their hands. They have also beaten Punchbag Bob 12,447 times!

Maybe go for 10 yourself? It's a nice round number in double digits...

BAH!!! Was going in for the 9th win and he through in a Brown Clockwork Grundo at me while going berserk. 85 points of damage, which is over half my HP, and I thought he was going to use something weak against me. It would seem the challenge curve comes round at this point.

Hoping this works for me too, I've been at this for a few months now. Also, over 12000 times beating poor PB Bob? I did that once and it's not an experience I'm dying to repeat!!

Update: Took about 10 minutes, but it worked!!

[Blue]

That is fantastic!! It looks like the PPT Gripe code at Neopets still works for finding Garoo

This lovely pink poogle moans about banner ads and frozen accounts when you squeeze it!

[Jacob]

Well then I've finally got to 10 wins...then I went to 11, because I go for the extra push. And then the Battledome decided to glitch on me, and have it say to me that I attacked with no weapons. That's just...gah. I'll get that 11 soon enough!

Update Sept 30
So I eventually tried again, and I BEAT him...only to have it glitch and say that the match was a draw. No worries. Immediately healed up and tried once more, going to 11 like I said I would. Alright. I rock.
