What I think or feel about the things around me and about life and the world (in general)...
My musings
This includes reviews, tips and fixes, rants, frustrations, complaints, achievements, thoughts, experiences, etc and sometimes, a sneak peek on what I'm up to - my next 'big' project!
Note: Merlin's Swamp is a "sub-world" that you can travel to from Wonderland Grove. You can find the book "portal" among the branches of the tree where the Queen is having her tea party at.
Merlin's Swamp
1. Alleggator
Alleggator
Location:Anywhere in Merlin's Swamp
How to get:Just run through it
2. Good Knight Egg
Good Knight Egg
Location:Tower ruins, right side of Merlin's tower. Cross the river with the skull sign nearby.
How to get:The egg will spawn and will attack you on sight. You just need to dodge out of the way when it attacks and jump on or bump the egg from the back. Eventually, its armor will fall off and you can collect the egg.
3. Dreggon
Dreggon - got too excited that I finally got it and forgot to take the screenshot :P Had to take this shot from the eggcylopedia
Location:Merlin's Tower
How to get:Help Merlin slay the dragon
- find 5 pieces of armor
-- HELMET - underneath the Merlin's tower
-- PANTS - in one of the smaller tower ruins. The tower next to it has a vulture on it. At Good Knight Egg's location.
-- CHEST - behind a big green boulder that's behind (rightmost) of the Merlin's tower.
-- GLOVES - very rocky area behind the Merlin's tower. On the left, there are some rather sandy-looking structures. Go further left pass them and you'll find the gloves
-- BOOTS - cross a wooden bridge (there's a vulture standing on a pole) and turn right towards the cluster of bushes. It's right in the middle
- Then find EGGCALIBUR- go through an obstacle course in the cave behind the waterfall
- Wait at Merlin's tower for the dragon spawning time (every 5 mins or so). When it's ready, the timer will say "Dragon ready". There's probably a queue though - you may need to take turns.
Where to get all 5 pieces of armor (Chest, gloves, boots, pants, helmet) and eggcalibur video:
How to defeat the dragon in Merlin's swamp?
- First take note which stone plate the dragon descends nearer to.
- Step on that stone plate and wait
- Dragon will spew fire when it fly close to ground level
- Right after, jump off the stone plate and hit it with your sword - this can be tricky
- Rinse and repeat until the dragon is dead - you just need to get 3-4 solid blows in.
**Note that there's a time limit so make sure to make every sword strike count!
***Also, take note that sometimes the dragon glitches out. If that's the case, then it might just be better to reset everything and try again. You can try switching servers but you'll need to collect the armor pieces and eggcalibur again... which sucks of course.

All guides/ walkthrough for Roblox's 2018 Egg Hunt: The Great Yolktales
How to get: Go into the cave next to the super big spider web. Play the runner game without dying = collect your egg.
3. Egg of Dark Nest
Egg of Dark Nest
Location:A place where the crystals are black and there's a huge black void on the ground
How to get: First, jump into the hole and pick up the crystal. You'll need to be fast for this one. Once you pick up the crystal, you'll need to hustle. Run through the obstacle course - be careful with the cannons - and once you're done, you'll get this egg. Here's a video to show you how:
4. Newton's Third Law of Egg
Newton's Third Law of Eggs
Location:Up the ladder near the spawning area. There are arrows pointing at it.

5. Aymegg
Aymegg
Location:Aymor's Lair. Portal is located near the massive doors at the other end of the Undernest map.
How to get there? Head to the trebuchet, use it to reach higher ground, then jump off the ledge with an umbrella.
Where is Aymor's Lair?
How to get: You must already have all 4 treasured eggs - Treasured Egg of Wonderland, Treasured Cuisine Egg, Hardboiled Treasure Egg, and Treasured Egg of the Jungle Temple (Ruins of Wookong). Place eggs on the 4 pedestals to open the portal to Aymor's lair.
Once in the lair, you'll need to grab 3 dynamites from a nearby mining cart and place it near a sleeping Lord Aymor.
After he awakens, you'll then need to grab a dynamite from the same cart and jump off the ledge. The skeleton bird will drop you right on top of Aymor. Make sure the dynamite hit it before you jump off. No point trying to use the cannons... they just don't launch you high enough.
Rinse and repeat until Aymor is almost defeated.
Then, you just need to blow up the crystals around him. Using the same dynamite from the cart, run around and blow up all the crystals.
Aymegg is then yours to keep! :)
How to get the Aymegg:

- Then find the key to open the Grand Burial Chamber to open it. Talk to Chief Tikal in the village
- Wrestle Nima - tap on the keys as they come up (just A and D keys though, so it's very easy)
- Bring 4 fruits to the altar at the top of the temple. All fruits can be found in the Native village.
-- The pear - The plant right next to Yatzil (lady in an orange shirt, standing in front of a hut with a closed door).
-- The banana - the fruit bowl in front of Yatzil
--The pineapple - inside the hut where you wrestled Nima. The hut right next to the Chief.
-- The durian - on a spike near to the hanging bridge (to the explorers' camp)
- Once done, locate the place with three-waterfalls from your vantage point. Head to there and enter the cave behind the middle waterfall. Collect the key.
- Head back to the Grand Burial Chamber
- Wait until the Arena is ready (around 5 mins) - sometimes the arena doesn't work. If so, you may need to switch server and do the whole quest again.
- Battle the skeletons that head your way including the Skeleton king. The trick to attack the skeleton king here is to go behind its back before you whack it with your sword. Survive until the end of the 5 mins and you'll get the egg!
Here's a video walkthrough/tutorial of the entire process:
7. Monkeying Around Egg
Monkeying around egg

4. Sugar Crystal Egg
Sugar Crystal Egg

It's really easy. After talking to the Chef and the game starts, simply run over to the customer to see what he wants, pick up the corresponding items and put them at the correct preparation stations in the kitchen, such as lettuce and tomatoes at the chopping board station and burger patty at the stove.
To prepare the burger, place a plate first then the rest of the stuff. You don't need to put things in order. And don't forget the buns!

I'm back once again! :) I've just started collecting eggs so please bear with me as I do my best to collect 'em all and write this guide for you all to refer to.
Tried capturing videos but I got distracted by other stuff too easily so the video turned out to be quite long. Anyway, hope my screenshots help! :)
*Gah... this is incredibly frustrating! I've had to complete the starting sequence for 5 times now zzzz and had to redo the invitation quest for an equal number of time :\ Update: 6th now.....
Update 2: They fixed the issue with the server I think. It didn't crash this time and I got the egg! :D

Teapot Egg
Possibly the easiest egg to get so far.

After avoiding it for such a long time, I've finally decided to give it a go. My first attempt was pretty all right - 66 WPM - but I was caught off-guard because I thought there would be a countdown before the test actually starts :P
Anyway, my second attempt faired much better (obviously, because I know how things work now), but still, I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't get a Pro rating hehe... all in good time I think.
I should also let you all know that I managed to achieve this typing test result without using the "standard typing method"... you know, the one where you are required to place your fingers from ASDF to JKL;
In fact, I type in a rather weird style I guess - I basically use four fingers on my left hand (except the pinky finger) and only the middle finger on my right. I also use my middle finger on my right hand to swipe, tap and do any action on my phone/tablet :P
That being said, I would like to point out that having a fast typing speed doesn't mean you can be a good content writer though. I'm really befuddled as to why people like to boast about their typing speed when applying for a content writing position. It's "good to know", but it's not exactly a priority (something that I'm looking for), especially when the company is paying you on a per content basis.
A quick tip - it's more important to work on your "voice" when you write; to develop, your own unique style and tone (particularly for content that require you to express your opinions, and not say... a company's press release).
Being able to show that you are willing to do all the necessary research to write a pretty good copy is important as well... since apparently and surprisingly not many people are willing to do so.
