I hate this level so much.

I have a really hard time reaching the enemy at the top right, and if you mess up, you have to do it ALL over again, going ALL the way around. Very frustrating.

I will be shocked if the next episode is titled anything other than "Magitek Factory."

This part really isn't that hard with Stocke at level 30. You made it easier, but IMO you're exaggerating the difficulty spike and the difference made by your levels. Also, using Seyfriend Vs. Gull Swing made no difference in the fight. You reset... but you'd already survived the extra damage fro...

I'm all for sequence breaking. The norm for this game is so well known you might as well spice it up!

@TheEpicMask

You can make this game as hard as you want. Just skip non-boss battles. HCB is at least six levels beyond where most players will be, and he's only playing that way so that he can show off the final skills that characters learn around level 60. You can easily complete the game at l...

I found this to be one of the easiest operations up to this point. I didn't have gel left over to disinfect the final suture, but otherwise sailed through.

Fun little twist, having no way to raise vitals.

@Demongunner7

No, 5/10 is median. Average depends entirely on the data set, and isn't inherent to the scale itself.

If you're doing to post youtube comments about "screwed up" and "idiotic" beliefs, try not to make a fool out of yourself while you're at it. =P

@KASBrazil95

Not HC, but access to free Inns (not just the Valkyrie Node) is enough to get by at least until some of the dungeons in chapter 5, and maybe until chapter 6.

Great LP. Short and sweet.

Nice to see such a high quality production for a lesser known game.

@KaddyGamer

It's not like he just made up the number.

.8^10 = .11, 1-.11 =.89. Basic probability. There's only an 11% chance that the 80% failure rate will kick in 10 times consecutively.

@danafish11

...and Turn Break is better still. =P

Traps are my favorite part of the combat system in this game. The only thing I don't like about them is that you can't plan ahead and place a trap on an occupied tile that your earlier moves in the combo will clear out.

Nothing is more entertaining than traps with a little help from the Wind Go...

@SilimsLetsPlays

I know how old SMT is. I was there. I did in fact google it before I posted my comment.

So basically, you're just talking out of your ***. Get back to me when you actually have some evidence. It's the internet, so I'm sure you won't have too much trouble.

@xLaml

The difficulty spike is at the start of chapter four, but I wouldn't worry about it. HCB actually showed how to win the initial boss fight in his RH demo video a few months ago.

I don't think he's "training," it's just not his style to skip past lots of enemies.

@HardToFindGoodNames

Hmmmm... I just played through it this summer. Most random battles can be won with a Unite attack. There's also little reason to fight the majority of them (scaling exp). If the group is stronger, from the midgame forward they can be one-shotted with spells. If it's a boss ...

@Hawelo92

Nope, still awful. ;)

(in my opinion too, of course)

@HCBailly

Not to mention that the easiest way to max-damage against the last form is Lich (sorry, dead horse ;-) ).

@godlfire

He wouldn't. But the person who originally asked about the bonus episode clearly didn't know that max-level was a requirement to beat the game, which is why HCB let him know. :)

Is it possible to farm that guy you robe-wearing dude you killed just before the eight minute mark? He gave you 700(!!) exp.

The four-legged monsters that you were killing with the wind sword gave 600. That's twice as much as the morning-star dudes.

You could spend 30 seconds microgrinding 40...

@42ndIcicle

Yeah I don't think it would improve the LP either. It's like he said at the start: ban one thing, something else becomes the focus. In this case if he's letting the enemies come to him more than the other way around, I think Hamedo would be even better than it already is (and Counte...

@NeoMegaMan

Getting the gear is easy in 12. It's actually defeating the mark that's tedious.

You have about 900 more experience since part 9. Did you just grind for a while? This guy tears me to pieces and I'm at the same level you were at the end of the last episode.

I'd forgotten how short the transition is from Portoa to this castle if you know what you're doing. As a kid it seemed to take a long time between getting the dolphin and fighting Sabera.

Well, on the other hand that's only a 1/20 chance to miss and this is episode 53.

It is pretty funny that it happened at such a critical moment.

I'm going to commit the Cardinal Sin of HCBailly viewing.

"Sluice" rhymes with Juice. Just putting that out there. 'nother great episode this morning :)

@godlvl1

But he's so slow that he'd never be out in front, actually drawing fire and taking damage in place of the weaker characters.

@mailchibi88

LOL. Yeah, I think the two rare elemental guns were translated backwards or something.

@gurenta

I'm curious too. The way I remember it there are two key grinding spots that make it go very quickly. Of these, the crucial one is that short stretch of water-cave with the stationary turtle-shell enemies. The other is on that purple-ish mountain path with the ice-slicks earlier in the...
