Seeing that school is finished I have a pile of down time to play Poptropica and it is so much fun! When it first was released there were not a large number of quests but now you will find loads that can be done. I'm pretty sure the top one they have ever made is Astro-Knights Island. It has a fantasy story with dragons and knights but it's also futuristic with rockets and spaceships. Your main objective is to rescue a princess who was kidnapped from her castle on one planet and taken away to another. Along the way you have to also rescue the three other knights who tried to rescue her before you and failed. If you've only played some of the earlier Poptropica islands, like Shark Tooth or 24 Carrot, you'll be surprised at how long it takes to finish Astro-Knights. I found a good Astro-Knights walkthrough and that helped a lot. One of the toughest parts was definitely the robot fish that leap out of the water on the Ice Planet. Man they were so tough! So was the dragon at the end of the Fire Planet. However the hardest part of the whole quest is definitely the boss battle at the end. First you have to catch all these bombs he drops and then drop them on him before they go kaboom. You have to get all the timing down exactly right to do it. After that you do the second part of the battle where you jump around avoiding his laser beams and you try to get him to hit the lights instead so that they fall on top of him. It's really tough!
Even with all the assistance I got with the step-by-step videos I totally failed the initial few times. poptropica But I did eventually get it right and I won the battle and got the medal at the end. I was pretty excited to win after spending so much time attempting to beat it. Even though Astro Knights is so hard, I really liked it and think it's one of the best quests in all of Poptropica. I'm playing some of the others now and I am really going to tackle Counterfeit Island next.
