## Transcript

Alright chat, so we're gonna do... We're gonna do that. We're gonna do protection. Oh I need to bring the... Where's my ice staff?
I think ice is probably more effective than fire. Alright.
Gotta save that mold for control. mold for control
Alright, this is going to be the first time I've summoned a troll, so...
Oh, let's do this...oh wait, where's my...okay, we're going to do this one first. Oh it's a skeleton troll bro, I love it.
Oh he's so helpful dude. Oh dude this is not going to be doing much at all bro.
Oh there it goes, hold on. Did he just hit a bad spot? Wait, how many of these roofs can I have up?
Like, don't we have two? It's unlimited, isn't it? Oh, where are my trolls now?
How many trolls do I have? How many trolls can I have, huh?
Asking for a friend. Also, where is my house? Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Oh, bro, they're doing damage to me? What just happened? The trolls that they'll aggro you if you're too close. Okay.
I think the summon troll just destroyed me, I'm pretty sure. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. When I summon the troll, it also takes health? Why do you see that?
The troll takes health to summon? Oh. How are we supposed to deal with that?
If the shield staff is up, then it doesn't take the health? Does the shield staff also take HP?
Man, I don't know how we're going to have enough HP to do this.
I love this place. Oh my god, there it is.
I think he's healing more than he's taking damage.
Okay. Okay, so this is kind of awesome, but I'm definitely going to have to do this a lot differently. So, let's see here.
Cole is like, happy over there fighting with his big ass guys, which is hilarious. I don't know if they're close enough to hit him.
He's regenning but also taking damage? I'm not even sure if that's working. Man, the regen is so bad.
Oh my lord. He's killing me. I should get that shotgun thing.
That's pretty good. Where did the gargant go?
What is it doing? Um...
Good God, this is not going to work. Yeah, I don't think we can keep that troll up regularly. This is not going to happen.
Like, not without health pods all the time. This is the weirdest fight, dude.
Alright, this is so weird. I'm not even doing damage. I'll do a little. I think it's full of things. I don't think my things are holding properly, to be honest.
I don't think these things are being summoned. I'm hoping I can drag them back over here somehow. Oh, there's one of them going. Here we go.
Man, I was doing better with the sword and board.
I'm going to try to summon this guy again. I wonder if this fight would be better for me with a lingering health. Bro, get away from my stuff. What are you doing? Come on. Don't think that's you.
No, stay away from me, stay away from me, stay away from me. If he was really going after my portal and shit, that would be SO dumb if he was.
What is the boss doing? God, this is so dumb. Uggggghhh.
Okay, okay, here we go, here we go, here we go. Coming back. What are you doing?
Wait, wait, it's good, it's good, it's good. Is it this point that Kogu's portal was gone? Oh, I'm sure it is. I'm sure it happened.
What was he doing over there, right? I'm going to go ahead and do a little bit of a run through.
Those will go for us, it's good to know.
Okay, that's the roar, that's the gas that. I believe I'm doing zero DPS. Okay, we gotta go make sure that our portal is actually still up.
Let me see if we can, uh, I'm gonna go... Oh the shield's up!
Yeah, portal's up, portal's up, could be good, portal's up. We'll go ahead and use that, why not.
Oh no, he killed our deuce? There's some damage, look at that man, there we go.
This bike is kind of crazy cool though. There's that. Oh I can't see that.
How much health does it give for this thing? Use help is 60% of my current health. Okay. Well that doesn't really have to be mad at me.
Alright. No no no no wait! Thank you.
There we go. Go after each other. Yes.
Oh, my God. These dudes are going to choke me.
Are y'all still fighting?
Oh my gosh, still fighting. What are you even doing over here, bro? Just wrapping in with the reef jet.
Not doing that. I'm going to be fighting this thing for the next three hours.
Oh wow he moving We need to try to put these things in better places
We need to try to put them, like, on the back of them or... Oh, my God. Yeah, we need to try to get these roots up out of his... I got a bug.
I'm just gonna take him out real quick.
Here we go again. One of these AOEs basically destroys the roof, right? Yeah, it burns it out. Oh shit!
Well, gotta look for that more. I did not realize all of those could hit us at one time. Okay.
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm! I wish we could get more beats here somehow.
We probably need more beats. Can we try the ice staff with the bow? Yeah, I wonder if the ice staff would be better if we just keep the ice staff on instead of...
Um, instead of trying to do the route. Double troll? We could try double troll. Yeah, and see if that helps.
Oh, that'll kill it. Hmm.
Alright. Could you do the troll and the sword?
Uh, not super well. We would need all HP food to do that, the way that you're thinking.
Thank you.
Oh!
All right. Okay. Thank you.
Thank you.
Those feet are working pretty well.
I wonder if there's a higher DTF version of this I could hear.
Is that a summon the troller?
Yeah. Oh, shit.
You guys see that? They're totally screwing up my guide here.
Thank you.
God, I feel like we're just flirting with disaster doing this. Oh my lord. We're not doing that much DPS either. Still no second troll?
I don't know if we should be doing two trolls. I mean, we all have a sky two troll. Sure. Oh, God. Y'all have some, y'all.
How did the trolls fight each other? Well, if nothing else, that troll was a nice, uh... That troll just ate that meteorite, which is really...
It's worth a little speed.
Thank you.
What the hell?
Why do you take a shit ton of damage? He was taking damage from your...
Wait, what? What did you do? I don't know what he's talking about. Go get him buddy.
Go in there and get her done. I need my help pot.
Oh, this is not good.
Woo!
Oh! I love how he waves like a superhero. That's kind of the best. Also, these meteors are so much more forgiving than the Azalot. really nice
Oh, goddammit.
Okay, so, I can't do that. I can't do that. That's fine. Um, I was not aware that the ground ace became 20% damage due. I thought it was going to be just normal fire.
But apparently it does like 20 plus percent per second whenever you put your staff and that stuff, so... Ugh, god, I... I have no idea, chat. I have no idea.
Okay, let's go. These are going great until then. Need more DPS? I wonder if we can upgrade our ice staff. Yeah.
God, he should be right on top of us, isn't he? Oh! We have to go get, uh, we can't really upgrade the troll staff
because we would need more, um, we need more troll head trophies and I'm not gonna go farm those. Oh, shit. I'll be back.
Alright.
Let's go back in. Let's just keep going, man.
Let's probably get more health pods. Nah, but his health is coming back. I don't want to talk about that. I going to try to get you should stay away from Got to be moving
A.B.M. Always be moving. Always be moving. Okay. Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay.
Okay. Where is he going? You're not going to reset or something weird are ya?
What the hell? What just happened?
Wow, dude, he is ripping through my summon. I don't know what's changed, but he is just destroying them.
I need a better form of link here man. I mean the way that we're doing this is I basically have one mistake to make.
Because we can't walk through that gear, that's the gear we cannot walk through.
Okay. We need our mana back for the summon. Looks like we're getting a bunch of adds from somewhere.
I don't know how we're going to deal with these adds. I'm going to go ahead and use my last part.
I'm going to go back. I'm going to go ahead and turn it off.
Dude, what is all these dudes popping up? Is he summoning these? Oh, he's summoning these, isn't he?
Okay, we gotta deal with this. We have to dream that means he's doing this faster. Okay.
Oh, that took him. That took him out pretty well. That's pretty okay. I just need to get him back on this other guy. See?
Nope. Aw.
Oh, come on.
Not the time, girl, not the time.
I can safely say, you know what, this cross bike is too long.
I'm kind of over it a little bit.
I think it's probably because I'm not doing it very well. Like I'm not using a good mode out or anything. I'm sure it's why it's taking so long. I'm guessing we could be doing this much, much faster with the right stuff.
Probably upgraded stuff and all that kind of stuff. Get good? Yeah, I mean, I think there's a lot of good going on right now.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh man, that was a little closer than I would have liked.
Go for the double summon. Try to get him on the opposite side.
Looks like one of the summon's bugs. My rested buff.
I've been fighting this boss for over 20 minutes. My rested buff is gone. Wow. Oh, do you ever have rest with this sign?
Oh, well, that is, okay. That makes more sense. We did die there, didn't we? Does RESTIT give you more anchor read-in?
Yes it does. I'm going to summon another one and then run back and get rested.
Okay, let's go. This one get rested and a bunch more health time.
And just pray to God that he doesn't reset his health by the time we get back. If he resets his health, I'm done for today. But if we can keep going, we'll keep going. You have to be sure not to sleep.
Thank you, John. Good call. Okay. Okay.
I'm gonna try lingering health this is our new one we're gonna see how this one is
Bring both? Honestly, we can use both, can't we? I don't think we're going to use both.
There we go. Bring the gate or the slide. Take it.
Alright, chat, we're going to do everything in our power to beat this. Good. Wait.
Oh. Oh.
Oh God, our E30 did it so much better. I didn't realize it was that big of a man.
All right Hey dude let keep this going let keep this going keep this going Get our two trolls up
I think I already killed one of them, he had a fight.
Okay, we haven't really had a chance to set up yet, but that's okay. Wait, what? There's two still up? How are there two still up?
What are they doing? They're just fighting the ass. Oh.
How do I know how many of these things I have up? Is there a way for me to figure that out?
Is this a show song?
This is insanity! Thank you.
Okay, okay. Okay, that's good.
If that's just following me, that means it's not on my dude.
I'll take it.
Good place to stay for that.
Oh, damn.
He took those two out a lot faster than I was hoping, Jack. God, there goes that one.
Dude, he's doing so much damage. I'm not really having any time to mana up and do any deep.
Yeah man, he's cold, is this getting him? I wonder if there's a way I can be doing this better.
I'm not holding aggro, not anymore. I don't know if he's like lower now so he's doing more stuff quicker or something. I don't know if I'm doing something, but...
Some of the archers are coming this way. Maybe I need to focus them.
Thank you.
I wonder if I can run that stuff around the app. Maybe we can try that.
There we go. Okay, this is going to be a big waste of mana, but we're going to do it live.
Thank you.
I think I just summoned one on top of the other.
I think it's been one of the most ridiculous boss fights I've ever done in any game. The sheer audacity of this boss fight.
Okay, this is going to kill these guys. Okay, this is gonna kill these asses, I'm pretty sure.
That's it. Awesome. We're gonna need to keep that in our back pocket. It's probably gonna summon him into the goo, but honestly I don't really care. Oh shit!
Not the right button, believe it or not. Not the right button, believe it or not.
I know, what do you mean? You didn't mean to sit in the middle of the flight? I know, I know, weird right?
I feel like that move is the one that's kind of wrecking everything. Look how much damage that does to him.
It's that ground stuff, man. That's what's doing it. It's that frickin' ground stuff. Is there an Infer Regen Potion? Then why am I not using it?
There he is! Oh my god. Why am I...
Thank you.
Thank you.
So much goo in there, Chad.
So much goo. I'm not sure if that's the right way to do it.
This is fine.
I'm going to go ahead and get back to you.
Great! Perfect! Perfect!
Oh no no no no no no no no no no no! Oh my god that was so close!
What? Oh no! Oh god damn it! Oh he's a walking fool! Shit! I swear to God if this guy was over there eating my stuff I'm going to...
Oh my God. Okay, hopefully he will go over and keep his HP up. Dude, I don't even know if I have enough other food. Shoot. Oh my God, man. I cannot believe this.
This fight has been so frustrating.
