[00:18] Okay. Let's look at those real quick. Oh, the realities of the Roy. I want to see what these look like.
[00:30] Nice man, torches look great. Little night light there. Okay, okay, and we don't have to refill these or anything? Oh, I love that so much.
[00:42] Okay, let's go. Oh, let's see first. Oh.
[00:55] Okay. It's fine. It's gonna be dark in the Shroud anyway. You can now place your base at the origin and use that for the start of your base building.
[01:08] Yeah, I don't know if I'm gonna do that. What I want to do is build into the side of a mountain. I just kind of premise slash idea I want to do. So I think I'm gonna... I think I'm gonna do that. I can take my glider back out, right? Yeah. What is this area?
[01:23] Oh, we can grapple up here too. What the hell?
[01:39] Where are all these things coming from? I don't think the pretty parts, hopefully they can cook these or something, I don't know.
[01:53] I don't know we do fitter parts but I love the area down here dude it looks so good The lighting and the fog and stuff is just fantastic
[02:13] What difficulty are we on? We're on the hardest difficulty because I don't make that much These are level 3 now look at this Thank you.
[02:53] Is that a lore item? I love so much that lore items glow like the freaking sun in this game. Oh, wait, that's not a lore item. But items that are important glow like the freaking sun in this game.
[03:07] That I love. Yeah. Hey, do, uh... Whoa, what is that? Do chests and stuff respawn in this game? I don't remember. Help me out, chat. Like, is this chest going to respawn at some point?
[03:23] Yes they do. Okay, cool. Great. Great. Oh hell yeah. Whoa, whoa, whoa, we're getting a lot of stuff. Hold up.
[03:39] Salt? Like several nails? Nice dude. Oh, that's nice dude. Oh, I just brought over the whole freaking game.
[03:56] We'll just shut down. I'm surprised that kind of alerted all of them. Though it isn't exactly a rifle, it's not really loud.
[04:12] I think they're sending these guys out of fat and comfortable. There's a whole army coming over.
[04:24] Oh my lord.
[04:49] Oh. Wait, what?
[05:01] Oh, is that... Return beacons replenish your time to shroud. Stand near them to feel their effect. Oh, you have to be right next to them. Oh, dang it. Okay.
[05:14] What's that? There you go. Hey, Final Fantasy XIV Fisherman with the 10 bomb.
[05:36] Thank you so much, man. Oh, we got a golden capitrine going on. That's good. Appreciate it, man. Thank you, bud. What? There we go.
[05:48] Great. Oh, what are you?
[06:00] You seem rather more chungus-y than normal.
[06:14] Goose. Hell yeah. Ow. Wait.
[06:36] What's the need of that? Yeah, sure. What drama? So am I seeing this right?
[06:51] They don't give any notifier when a ranged unit is attacking you? There's like no glow or... Do you just have to learn your animation? I feel like if there's ranged units that do a lot of damage later,
[07:05] that's going to get real frustrating. Does that get good? Oh, there's a sound. Okay, maybe I'm not hearing that sound. Okay. I'll listen for that more. Thank you. On Elixir Well, the strings of the Elixir.
[07:17] Another elixir well is built on the backs of workers, slaving away tirelessly to gouge a tunnel into the earth. The plans for this construction are otherworldly.
[07:32] The chasm spits fumes with every jab. Thin veils of mist cause headaches and irritate the eyes. At least they haven't caused a lasting sickness yet. Such destruction and upheaval, all for the elixir.
[07:48] I hope this foul air will not spread to lone thistles. Balthazar, 498 DA. Oh, it's Balthazar. Right. Okay.
[08:00] That's our boy Balthazar. That's all right, Chad. I think we're going in.
[08:12] Shepard's Lightning. Bro, I'm not doing magic right now. How are you doing me like this? That sounds amazing.
[08:25] Who needs Shepard's Lightning? Bro? Okay. Oh, man, this is very, uh... What am I telling myself?
[08:38] Are we in Shepard's Lightning? I can't use this right? Oh, oh it's casting entangle? Cell charge equipped.
[08:55] Yo, okay, this is not that sure. I'm getting in here.
[09:07] Here? Here. Oh!
[09:20] Ooh! We can root and then fireball. I like that. I like that. Okay. Okay.
[09:35] Danger keeps getting better, dude. I don't know if there's another enemy.
[10:03] Oh lord. Oh, I'm out of mana.
[10:17] Oh, that was good. Thank you.
[10:50] Oh, I was blocking that, but I guess it didn't work.
[11:13] Okay. That guy hits like a truck. Truck, truck. His thighs are like what? What what? Okay so, oh, oh he's alive
[11:26] that's right, ooh. I forgot who that was. He'll get a rested bonus first? Ohhhhh. I promise. Can he get rested up
[11:38] should we go home and get it first? Can he sit next to the return beacon or is it in shrouded? Oh he got all his like that so there's not okay there's not going to be any
[11:57] oh you can connect the altering data great let's do that perfect thank you leave it you just remember i'll be back down a minute
[12:16] Oh, that's an elixir box. Oh, it's different. Oh, cool. Okay, I should have buffed up with that, too. Dang.
[12:28] Totally missed that. How am I getting out of here, champ? Oh, this way. Let's find the wall. Cool.
[12:42] How do I sit? Oh, okay. Ah, great.
[12:57] This is gonna be tough man. I wonder, I wonder if we should use the shield. Like I wonder how much damage we could actually block with the shield. Maybe we should do a bat route with it. I think I'll try that this time.
[13:11] Stay right next to him and try to parry and block his stuff. Oh, chat saying just dodge it. This is a dodger, not a blocker. Okay. Okay. I'm gonna take your advice on that, chat.
[13:30] Cool. Oh, do I not have enough for more balls? Don't have enough for more of those. Um...
[13:42] All right, well let's just dodge well, chat. Woo! Hmm?
[13:54] Why is my cue not working? Oh.
[14:12] Wait what? How do I? Oh I can't! No! Wait a second! What just happened there? I was not able to mercilessly do my thing. Can you not do a merciless attack on a big game?
[14:42] Bam! Oh, backstab damage. There's backstab damage. Oh. Ooh. Ooh.
[14:55] Ooh.
[15:08] Oh, my. Oh, my. Okay. Yeah, we just got a new bonker.
[15:22] A selling ad. Is that this? Yeah. Beautiful.
[15:34] All right, man. That was a really smooth boss, all things considered. That was great. Hell yeah, dude. felt good. That was just wonderful. Is there anything else down here we want before we go?
[15:47] I'm not seeing too much. Oh, secret. Really?
[16:02] We can teleport out now, but I want to make sure there's not like any chests or stuff we missed in the way. We didn't really explore here when we came down, we just came down and killed the boss. poke around a little bit.
[16:19] I'm using... I think... dude I'm really digging two hands. I don't know if this is gonna last, but right now I'm really feeling two hands. Is this corpse rule?
[16:32] Is this just Valheim but cooler? No, no. This is a different beast than Valheim in a lot of ways. it's far more of kind of a gamification of the sandbox thing. Where this
[16:44] game has a lot of thorough, deep, developed mechanics, Valheim has immersion. So Valheim is a game that is incredibly immersive and does some things really well, but there are other things that this game does far better. So
[17:00] it is, it's kind of a flavors of ice cream situation, but Personally, I feel that in Shrouded is a much more kind of like... Valheim is more niche.
[17:13] I think that's the best way I can say it. Valheim is more niche. If people get sucked into Valheim, they are far more able to deal with its downsides. But if you don't get sucked into it, it feels very...
[17:28] I'm going to say this word because I do feel like it applies over there. It feels a little incomplete. so if you can get behind the Valheim immersion it's awesome but if you can't then it feels like that you almost
[17:41] need mods to make it work I don't know it's a very weird situation but this game for instance I don't have any mods in this game and I don't think I'm going to need a single mod in this game um you know so this one is more kind of like
[17:53] uh gamified I think is the best way I can say it yep Valheim is more of a vibe and Shrouded is more of a game There you go.
[18:05] I think that's about the best way I can say it. And Shrouded is more of a vibe, and this is more of an actual game. Yeah. There we go. I'll stand behind that. Yep.
[18:19] All right. Now, can we fast travel to this? No. But I think I'm going to fast travel home, because I'm going to go talk to my dude, and I want to see if he can upgrade this sword, and get something to do now.
[18:31] By the line, that's right. Oh, Miles, thanks, man. There's a bug with keys, sometimes not working.
[18:44] The workaround I found is all tabbing out. Great. If I ever run into that, I will try that. I need to get some really quick plant fiber here, because I need to make another bed. If I can sleep until day, which would be super nice.
[18:58] Just like in real life, a constant struggle to find sleep.
[19:13] You gonna jump in bed with Gunther? Hey, if the game would let me, I would.
[19:27] Oh. Well, let's go do something about that. 17 hours in and I've revealed about 5% of the map. That's awesome, dude.
[19:40] I'm a Tribble. I'm actually just fine with it how it is. Yeah, I don't... In this run, I kind of want to keep this run as vanilla as I possibly can. Yep. Ember Veil can be reclaimed, but sparks and off-limits in the flame alter to strengthen the flame.
[19:53] Sparks are scattered around the world in flame safes and flame shrines. A great alter? Yeah. Oh.
[20:08] Remove water? Set as preferred spawn altar. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Hell yeah, I'm unlocking airborne architect.
[20:22] Right, let's see that ish. Okay, we're just going to work our way over here because I really want to get updraft. I love updraft.
[20:35] We're going to do that. And I need so many points. Okay. So chat what I going to do real quick is I going to take a super quick break I going to go up and use the bathroom real quick and I going to come back and we going to play this for about another 20 minutes
[20:56] Then we'll switch over and start, do a quick Emberville run. Then we'll take a quick lunch, and we're back here for like three more hours. So we got a plan. This bed, I need string.
[21:08] Oh, no. I don't think I'm going to have enough. Oh, I do. Yay. There we go. Perfect. Perfect. I'm supposed to go to here. That's wonderful. That's wonderful.
[21:20] How do I upgrade? We'll worry about that in a minute. My poor ADD in this game, chat. Cannot do... Oh, there we go. It's kicking right next to each other, I guess.
[21:35] Alright! Alright! 1pm Revealed, Demogorgon Live, today at 1pm ET. 1pm ET today. Okay, I'll be right back, chat. As soon as I'm back, we're going to keep playing this for, like I said, another 20 minutes or so.
[21:50] Then we're going to do the Emberville demo. Can I click one more of this? Turn the mattress into a full bed. Oh, can we do that? We'll do that in just a second. All right, guys. I'll be back in just one second. D-R-B. D-R-B.
[22:05] Okay. Woo! Okay. Boop. Oh, God. Uh, scaling an ancient spire.
[22:31] Oh, the tower quest. Here we go.
[22:45] Okay, now in terms of upgrades, we can get a scrappy pickaxe, sure. If we're going to need more string, surprise, I'm going to need more charcoal for this.
[22:59] Hold on. Nice. That's a lot worse.
[23:11] Now I need wood, of course. Um, how do I upgrade this? Upgrade at blacksmith.
[23:23] Oh, is that what this is? No, it's a forge. Oh, item upgrade.
[23:41] Whoops. um hey we got health leech okay item six of nine level nice that's not bees though
[23:53] what are bees oh okay that's not the upgrade material thing
[24:06] hmm interesting Let's see. News for higher level stuff. Yeah, yeah.
[24:25] God, I love this music so much. Um... I think we're about good here. Actually, we're gonna put the magical away. We're gonna go back to the bow. Bell Scout Bow? Let's go. You can be salvaged.
[24:37] Uh, you can be salvaged. We might use the... I'm gonna save Wand and other stuff in case you maybe want to use it later.
[24:50] Let's see. You can salvage them once it items to get the upgrade. Yeah, yeah, thank you. Okay. Uh, nope that's not good.
[25:03] How many more does it take to upgrade here? Another like hundred, right? Oh, three more?
[25:22] We're doing this live, chat. Hell yeah, three more blunt damage, let's go. okay oh now it takes 16 of the ledger oh oh okay I see
[25:46] let's go ahead and do for inventory we're gonna put you here delete you okay with our map don't have our helm but that's because we don't have enough Plant fiber!
[25:59] The bane of my existence, apparently. Le sabre de plantaux. I've like gotten all the plant fiber around our base. It's all been harvested.
[26:11] You can also craft the legendary runes of the blacksmith. Yeah, but don't they cost the same things that we use to upgrade the weapons, which we're out of, pretty much? I don't think that would work, unfortunately. No. Oh, oh, now we're going over here.
[26:24] Okay, we're going there next. That's what we're doing. That's a grappling hook area I wanted to do. Here we go. Oh my god, plant fiber. That was delicious plant fiber.
[26:46] We found the rock chest. That was it. That was what we needed. Oh my god. Oh my gourd. You can cut down the tall bushes and dead trees and they drop resin.
[27:01] Oh, these do right here? Oh, I didn't know the dead trees looked... I know the red trees did. I didn't know the dead trees did. Yeah, the D. Oh, man.
[27:14] Uh, chicken nose. Hey there, Co. Hey there, Chad and Mar. At Co. Carnage, did you know that your voice actor in CP2077 in Brazilian Portuguese is a legend here?
[27:26] and he voices Magneto in X-Men and Jonah J. Jameson in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man? What? Trust me when I tell you it is a true honor. That's awesome. I had no clue about that.
[27:38] You're talking about Gary the Prophet is voiced by him? Oh, my God. Ben does such a better job. I'm going to play Portuguese next time. That's awesome. Thank you for that. No, I had no idea.
[27:50] That is an honor. That's super cool. Man, very, very cool. How fun. There's the resin off the dead trees. Okay, so these are the dead trees. Cool. Good, good, good, good, good.
[28:07] Thank you so much for that, chat. I will promptly forget it. Do you guys know where I can get resin? Oh, okay. Oh, here's a red tree. All right.
[28:20] No clue? Okay.
[28:35] So here's the red trees. These guys I knew of before. And we're going to want a lot of resin eventually, as resin is what we're going to be using to make all of the nice torches and lighting and all that kind of stuff.
[28:49] and all that kind of stuff. What kind of build do you want to do this run? So my vision for my build this run is a mountain-style dwarf kind of base.
[29:02] So what I want to do is have an awesome, large framework stone front gate into a mountain. I want that to open up into a giant central court cathedral-like center area.
[29:14] Sunken into the floor in that area is where I want to do my production and probably storage. And then I want to have rooms that look like shop stalls around the left and right for the different villagers and people.
[29:26] And then in the back, that's all going to either flow into a throne room situation or some kind of display situation. I don't know what our options are here. And then we'll probably have entrances on both sides to go behind that to go to our bedroom.
[29:41] Kind of like we did in our Valheim one. But very different in other ways. But that's the plan. I don't know if we're going to do it. That's the idea. That's the idea currently. And we'll see where it goes.
[29:54] I always start with an idea and then we just kind of end up somewhere else. So we'll see how this turns out. Okay. Okay.
[30:09] Any more string? Beautiful. where is where is the helmet
[30:21] because I want to find something oh here we go hell yeah there's our forge oh no what's all this oh bro oh this looks so
[30:34] oh that's so good okay and it adds 60 health to you and melee damage okay we need to make this as fast as possible uh let's get this bring it down
[30:53] boom oh I just ate that's fine oooh
[31:05] we gotta get a lot more metal scraps y'all how do I farm metal scraps oh geez okay We gotta get going Alright we all set now Let see if we can make that I don think we can make that until we get it can we Might just want to wait
[31:21] I don't know. I haven't seen that before. Alright, can we sleep? Excuse me.
[31:36] Alright, chat, we're going. Scavenger enchantment. I can't have some break stuff. Okay.
[31:53] All right, now we're going to go to here.
[32:05] Great. Then I kind of want to turn the, put my headphones on for the rain.
[32:25] Okay. Oh crap, great, okay, oh there's three right there, perfect. there perfect perfect
[32:38] Great.
[33:05] Wee! Oh god, okay. That's fine. Can you be breaking this stuff on the ground? Is this mining pit stuff? Wait, I'm going to break this thing down. Yeah, it's not a giant. No,
[33:22] No, that's not dropping anything. Okay.
[33:37] The building system is so good in Encata. Dude, I'm so excited. I'm so excited to dive into it. Oh my god. I didn't mean that. Okay.
[33:52] Boom!
[34:07] Heck yeah. How about it feels really good in there? Like, really good. I don't think I've had a fight yet that hasn't felt like... great.
[34:19] I wonder how it's going to go as we keep going. Oh, a mana regenerating. Cool.
[34:36] Okay, get more string and stuff, too. Awesome. Other stuff we need. Can I just, like, hold this and move back in and down and walk around this way? I think I can, actually.
[34:51] I feel quite hungry. You look quite thirsty. Thanks, Henry.
[35:04] Henry, come to see us, Jack. Oh. Careful with this shipment.
[35:16] Argon, take care with this new shipment from the valley. The merchant said it is highly volatile. Apparently the explosives explode.
[35:31] It's jostled or tossed about. Who would have known? Anyway, I paid a pretty penny for this. Do not mess around in here. I can't afford to fix another hole in the wall.
[35:46] I don't know if his buddy got the memo. I'm going to be totally honest with you. Yeah. I don't know if that happened.
[36:01] Okay. Nice.
[36:13] How many scraps we got? 15. Okay, that's a lot better. That's a lot better. I'm getting this lower out here. Hmm, food's looking good. Everything's good here.
[36:36] Got some raisins. Finally starting to learn what the searchable things look like. That's good.
[36:48] Definitely like the bow.
[37:07] Oh, wait, what? There we go. Oh, wait, did that not... I thought I parried you.
[37:19] Did that not parry you?
[37:35] Hmm. I think I blocked him, but I didn't carry him. I'll have to look into that. See, I'm trying to dig the bow.
[37:47] I like the bow for kind of giving it weakening them just a little bit as they come in. I'm going to keep the mana regenerating because we may go that at some point. I just don't know. Arclight.
[38:01] At Co-Carnage, if you open your journal and go into the sets tab, there you can see what item each biome holds. Thought it might be interesting for your 100% playthrough to check if you found everything or not.
[38:15] Whoa. Oh, thanks, man. That's super cool. Nice, dude. What a fun feature. By the way, we're going to be playing the Emberville demo in just a little bit,
[38:27] but in classic Emberville form. They're finalizing some stuff. We'll get through it in just a few minutes. We're playing the demo a little bit early. The demo goes live at 1 p.m.
[38:39] We're going to be playing it a couple hours early, so they're getting that demo update into a place where I can play it. Yeah. Got some fun enhancements to the demo today I think you guys will like.
[38:54] Oh, there's some more daggers. Interesting. Still kind of want to try daggers and see how we like them.
[39:06] I don't yet know what I want to do for this game yet. Bam. Oh, I re... This note, when I looted it the first time,
[39:22] I remember reading this note, and I remember how it made me spelt at the end, and I was just like, man... Ugh. This is going to be the first time I hear a voice actor. Curse these numbskulls.
[39:34] Say, nigh blue meter, smithereens those scoundrels. Dieter, go witness. We discovered a chest in the new tunnel. I swear it.
[39:46] Nay, Dieter, tis no jest. Observe for yourself. My mouth is choked with dust, and my hands are numb from digging. My nails splinter.
[39:58] I'm famished. Vicious curs, may the shroud take you all. And then here's the other part of it. He'll be fine down there.
[40:11] Peter fares well, fish or prattle. He has shovel and fortitude. He'll be out of the mineshaft shortly. Perhaps he plays a prank on us, that scamp.
[40:24] Pray tell, did you put some provisions in their hands? All the same, he'll survive. Aye, the chest was fine bait, though we had some need of it.
[40:38] I should have considered this before. That is messed up. Yes, Nihong Well, love the name.
[40:51] I'm assuming that's probably true. The demo is today at 1 p.m. ET. It's part of EMEX Fest. Is everything voice acted now? Yes. All of the lore stuff is voice acted now, and oh my god, it is so nice. So nice.
[41:11] You're not everything's voice actor, but like 90% of it.
[41:23] Oh, cool. I think it's... Wow. I think it just got finalized. Perfect. This is the perfect point right here. Give me one second. We're going to go ahead and... If I just... If I quit the game, it just saves, right?
[41:35] Yeah. Okay. Cool. Give me one sec. Okay.
