I cleared Herodotus on my second try. Vampirism is the way to go for that boss. Ponce de Leon might be the hardest boss in the game.

Anyway, good job Patrick.

By the time I got to the last boss my stats were so high that I had absolutely no problems just tanking damage with a barbarian, hitting him over and over. I've never even almost died to this boss. Felt like a bit of an anticlimax, actually, so it's interesting to see the way the fight was supposed to go. I think I had nearly three times that amount of health.

@patrickklepek: I also think your webcam video is slightly behind your mic audio, only by about a quarter of a second or so, have a look at the OBS audio settings where you can add a delay to your mic audio. Although, if it's just me, well, then...ignore me.

That's a weird issue with OBS that I think (?) I've worked out.

The streaming quality was good; dare I say 'very good'. Microphone audio was a non-issue for me (maybe because I wasn't paying any attention to it). Please do a Spookin' episode soon! Lastly, you deserve all of the love that we're throwing at you. Thanks for helping us all through this tough time.

My favorite thing is that the character cards are styled in a way that resembles Magic.

That resonates with me.

If you're wearing gear/runes that "return damage to enemy", that return damage can affect spike traps, the little fireball launchers, and those spikey balls that bounce around. Whenever anything in the game damages you, you still take full damage, but a percentage of that damage is also applied to the enemy that damaged you.

The spikey balls in particular seem to only have like 1HP or something, so the first time they damage you they are immediately killed. The other 2 things generally have to hit you 2 or 3 times before enough damage is returned to deplete their life bar.

In the video, Patrick calls them "knockback" runes, probably because he equipped them so long ago that he forgot what the symbol means. There is no knockback rune; he's using 2 "return damage to enemy" runes, which are actually pretty good when you're just doing boss runs, as they're really the only runes that up your damage output in any way.

That fight where you're the Barbarian King was hard to watch. Shout gets rid of projectiles which makes a lot of moves from the second form a walk in the park since you don't have to deal with them at all.

I love watching random game streams on GB. Especially hard games.

When is Random PC Game Stream starting back?

Don't know if it's the player or not, but there is a very slight lag in the webcam feed with your microphone audio. Still, keep it up with the content. Enjoyed this one.

Wow, I'm way higher level (i.e. more upgrades in my castle) and I haven't even beaten the third boss yet (the tower). This is weird, I usually consider myself pretty good at this type of game, I've beaten all the Megaman Zeroes, IWBTG, N+, Super Meat Boy, also games like Ninja Gaiden Black and DMC 3. I think I might have spread myself too thin on the stats.

Okay, turns out I'm not garbage after all. Took me 114 generations and about 12 hours to finish the game once I put my mind to it. Also, Spellsword's powered up Fireball makes short work of the slime boss. Got him on my first try.

Enjoyed this! Was perhaps a tad framey (gameplay-wise) at times, but generally very nice. I'm sure you'll tune it to perfection. Glad to have you back and at it. :)

You know it going to be a good video when you start out with a character that is upside down. I think you should do more last level stuff Patrick.

It also destroys the flames that the third? boss, Ponce de Leon, leaves. Making the whole boss fight a cakewalk.
Too bad i only found out about that after trying to kill him a whole night long with barbarian's :/

Patrick - never go anywhere without two powerline adapters! no more 50' cables :)

I'd be careful with those.
Personally i only had bad experiences with those, bad and unreliable performance, tend to get really really hot (i'm talking fire hazard hot) and in the worst case you open up your network to your neighbor next door.

In Patrick's case it should be okay, after all this place looks like some single house without any direct neighbors. But in buildings, where several parties share the same electrical wiring, it's possible that somebody else in the building, using a powerline adapater, could get access to your powerline network.

It's a little known fact that people should be aware of. So in the end i'd still rather use those 50' cables, after all nothing beats those in terms of performance, reliability and security :)

Good job duder. I really like the game but there is something about it that... I dunno, it just doesnt go all the way so I "just" really like it instead of loving it. Well worth your money tho if youre thinking of getting it.
