I have been playing Poptropica more than any other online game recently. When it first was released there were not a large number of island missions but now there are tons you can do. My all-time favourite to date is definitely Astro-Knights Island. Think of knights and armor and stuff but in outer space. Your aim is to rescue a princess who was kidnapped from her castle on one planet and taken away to another. There are many side-quests, like rescuing three other knights who were sent out before you to rescue the princess but were unsuccessful. I was really amazed with how big the quest is. It kind of takes a long time to play and some of the challenges and puzzles are wicked tough. I used these cheats for Astro-Knights island to help figure out some of the difficult parts. 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 the bombs he throws down and then drop them on him before they blow up. Your timing has to be perfect. 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 is much more difficult that it sounds at first.
Anyway I viewed the video clips on how to get it done and it still required numerous attempts but finally I beat Astro Knights and I got the island medallion. 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 astro knights island.
