I led the exhausted Guardians through a cave slide, only to be ambushed by resilient stone monsters. After a morale-boosting huddle and a strategic shift to focused fire, we defeated the golems. We then encountered a waterfall that Rocket refused to cross, requiring me to manipulate alien plants to redirect the flow.
After the fight, the Guardians tried another slide down into the cave. Right when I was thinking we could get some rest, they met multiple stone monsters waiting for them in the darkness, blocking our only path forward.
I knew it would be hard for the team as they were already tired from the previous battles. I called for a huddle to cheer them up, playing a classic track to boost their spirits and synchronize their combat focus.
After coming out of the huddle, we started fighting these monsters. They were not as easy as I thought they would be; their rocky skin absorbed most of our basic attacks and they gave us a very good fight.
I had to change my strategy because they were so hard. I stopped trying melee attacks and kept commanding all my Guardians to focus on one enemy at a time, and at last, we took them all down.
We continued our journey and faced another new challenge, which was a series of waterfalls on our way. The water cascaded down with great force, creating a barrier that seemed impossible for some of the team to pass.
This was a major challenge for Rocket as he confirmed he would not pass through the water at any cost. The Guardians became confused about what to do because we absolutely needed to pass that path to continue.
When Mantis passed the waterfalls taking Drax along, I started shooting some debris. I hoped that by destroying certain rock formations, I could try changing the natural path of the waterfalls to clear a dry route.
I had to take help from Gamora to climb up to a height. From there, I shot and destroyed more debris to release an alien plant, which was intended to act as a natural dam for the falling water.
I rotated one of the big alien plants that changed the direction of the waterfalls, but only in half. I tried to do the same with the other side, but it stayed stuck while Rocket waited for a safe crossing.
I'll show what happens next later.
I personally took all the screenshots from my play and I used a logo of the game from online to use in the thumbnail.
