Have you ever heard of the saying, To the stubborn go the spoils? Well, that’s what it should say, because sheer stubbornness is seriously how I finally got through the my evil tree mission in The Secret World.

One of the great things about TSW is the fact that it’s not just a matter of grabbing a couple levels and going out to smash through things with the same skills you’ve been using all along. Here you have to tailor what you are going to use for what you are going to face! I love that even combat involves planning, paying attention, and strategy.  And if you don’t get things right the first time: step back, reevaluate, and readjust your plan of attack. Then, when victory is obtained, it’s all the sweeter. Nothing drove that point home better than this:

Sometimes, the best moment is a fleeting one that sneaks in at the very end. And sometimes, the last death is the best! Such was the case in my latest The Secret World Tokyo adventures. The night started with a decent helping of crazy and a friend (not one and the same, really!) and then ended with a test of skill and dexterity — or possibly just plain luck.  In my case, I think we can agree to say unluck. But the crowning moment happened at the very end. You really have to see it to believe it.  Once you do, you’ll see proof positive that TSW really IS out to get me!

Brains need a workout just as much as trigger fingers, and that’s what I love so much about the investigation missions in The Secret World.  And the newest additions to the investigation family have certainly been worth my while.  Want to watch as I take viewers through Dr. Aldini’s latest fiasco, The Animate Clay?  Now’s your chance.

Warning: This is your spoiler alert!  If you want to solve the full thing yourself without any interference, don’t watch.
