 Hello and welcome back to The Croft Box. My name is Brent and today we're in episode 76 of The Pirate 101 Walkthrough. Last episode, if you haven't checked it out, go do that. We started Valencia, did a whole lot of cool things. If you haven't checked out the playlist, link is down in the description below. Go click on that. And today we're starting by entering the throne room to help the Monkeeson Ambassador, which is basically what we have, or to help the Monkeeson Ambassador, which means we can sneak into Valencia and they don't assume us because we're like diplomatic people so they can't attack us. I don't know, something along those lines. Here we go. Okay, so Yas, we have, what are you, you are swashbucklers, so we are going to go with full musketeer setup. Yes, that seems good. We are going to place traps down there. We are going to play really smart now. This place forces you to play really smart. Using traps is great. I think I talked about this in the last episode, but yeah, it's really important to use traps and stuff as much as possible. So that's Cain. He is basically who we needed a feat in the end, which is kind of like, what, okay. That did absolutely zero damage. That's fine. Hopefully we can get some good crits on these guys. We may not be because they are swashbucklers, but because they use agility, they shouldn't get crits on us either. So it goes both ways, which is good. We are going to hit you. We are just going to focus one at a time, I think, as much as possible. Just to try and get at least some of them down before they do too much damage. Obviously, Chantel can go a long distance, so we put her on something different, but she is now focusing on the right target, which is good. He dodged it. Okay, half health for one. That's always great. Hopefully. Oh, okay, maybe not. It's a bit unlucky, but you know, that's fine. Hopefully this goes well. Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully. Okay, Overwatch. Overwatch. Overwatch. Flip up. Okay, sweet. Nice. Look at these epics. They are actually crazy. Literally, he's nearly dead because of that one epic. Like, what the flip? Okay, that's good. One down at least. Another at half health. Double tap again. He's at half health as well. Burst fire. Nice. Burst fire. Okay. This one is the only one that's going to be a slight problem here. He's kind of all by himself. Like, what? Please don't move. Overwatch. Okay. Okay, that's fine. Hopefully, we don't have any more crazy crits from them, because that's bad. Oh, shit, he's also poisoned. That's not good. Not good, yes. Very not nice. They're also like nearly dead, so we'll do that. We'll do that. We'll just make sure at least he's dead. I'm pretty sure Louis might die, and if he does, that's unfortunate, but it's the price we're going to have to pay. One down. Yes. Perfect. Double tap to him. Get him down a bit. Thank you, Chantal. Double tap to the other. Nice. And finish him off. Yes. Okay, that was good. Yay. No one died. Perfect. There must be some mistake. These pirates are enemies of Valencia. Eradicate them. Okay, didn't have any full potions, which is unfortunate. Battle Angel, Battle Angel, and Royal Guard. Okay, we're going to do the same setup, just because we can. Should be fine. Actually, should we do double bombs? I think double bombs might be the best decision to go with here. Either way, we'll just see how it looks and how it works, and we can change it later for next battle. Yeah, that should be good, hopefully. Agility. Nice. Another bombs. They may not even touch the bombs, and that would be disappointing. I would be really triggered if they're not going to shoot. Okay, the one in the middle might, but otherwise they may not. So I am going to place this down here. Wait, none of you are in range, so we're just going to move you closer. We are going to put a trap right there, I think, would be best. Hopefully some of them get into these traps that I've set out. Oh, you did, that's good. Yeah, okay, I think the double bombs is a good tactic to go with. You are going to miss the trap, aren't you? God damn you. God damn you. Okay, boop, boop, boop, boop. Oh, okay, that was good. Look at that, that's amazing. Okay, what are we going to do? We will do a cheeky this thing over here for them. We're going to hit that. We will go on that, and we will go on that. Let's just focus on that, hopefully kill that. We've gone quite spread this time. I don't think that's too good of an idea, but we should be fine, hopefully. Really, that's unlucky. These guys have a high block, that's not too good. Not even half health, that's unfortunate. You don't have burst fire, which is annoying. Oh well, okay, one down, that's good. Thank you, bombs, you came in handy. Really? Okay, that's good. Overwatch, Overwatch, nice. Okay, double tap. Okay, that's good, burst fire. Nice, nice, nice, nice. Hopefully, we can at least get some of these up. Okay, if it's a bad stop, stop, stop. Dodge, nope, okay, nope. Thank you for the dodge, thank you. Epicids are so bad in this. They are actually the worst. These guys are the worst at them. Okay, okay, you're gonna Bladestorm on some thingy. Yep, and you're gonna Bladestorm again, and you're gonna Relentless Short, nope, okay, that's fine. Overwatch, okay. Two are nearly dead, which is good. Don't you dare kill Chantel, look at that. Chantel, please don't die, thank you. Chantel, I believe in you. I really hate it how these guys can do that. It's really annoying. Hopefully, they all die. I don't want Chantel to die. That would be a bad damage, Chantel, you have one job. Okay, and boot and double tap again, please. No! No! No! Rope, Chantel. That was our last chance, no. Unlucky, that's just the RNG of this game. 82 health, that's not even fair. Okay, that one went worse, but the Battle Angels are always harder, so yeah. I see you are as tenacious as always, young pirate. I will deal with you myself. Stop, stop this at once. We will speak to this stranger. Captain, come forward. Your majesty, with respect. Silence, Supreme Commander, perhaps a different solution is needed. Come forward. Yeah, don't fight me. Do we have another battle? I don't think we do. If we do, I'm dead, because I don't have any potions, but you know what, we'll just deal with it. Who are you that you're there to bring a violence and a mayhem into this chamber? Your majesty, forgive me, but I fear your Supreme Commander must be mistaken. Mistaken? Indeed, whoever this terrible villain might be that you have mistaken this garland, ship Captain Four, I assure you that he is no menace. And I must remind your majesty that he stands here as a diplomatic attaché with complete immunity. This captain is a trusted friend of King Gortes the Great. Truly, he has given great impression service to Mogista. I can easily overlook this dreadful outburst. I would hate to think that the Valencian court is so uncouth as to insult King Gortes. Peace, good ambassador. Supreme Commander, your zeal in our defence is admirable, but we agree with our good friend from Mogista. Indeed, my darling, as exciting as this confrontation was, we cannot have such things become custom. We suspect our persons would be better served, dear Supreme Commander. To seek out the true villain who has so offended Valencia. As your majesty commands. A clever gambit pirate, but know this, you play a deadly game. I do not know why you are here, not yet, but I will find out. Your precious immunity has saved you, but engage in your usual navery during your time here and it will evaporate. Then you will be mine. Thank you, Supreme Commander. That will be all. Don Armando, perhaps we could resume our discussions later, without so much excitement. You are welcome to retire to the diplomatic residence. A marvelous idea, your majesty. When I return, I shall leave my attaché in the residence so as not to offend the esteemed commander. Very well. Come, Captain. Let us retire to our quarters. Okay, so that's our first encounter with Cain. Quite a scary guy. I really love his voice acting. That's amazing. I actually adore it so much. They did a good job. Let's head over to the diplomatic residence, because that's where we need to go. It's over this way. So, yes, I will get some health. Possibly. I'm going to need to. Look at all those sidequests. Yeah, I'm going to need some health on that one. Sorry. That's not too good. Load, load, load. Please. Load, load, load, load, load, load, load. Okay. Let's see. Here is a yum yum. We'll get that, and we will continue on our way. I get it. Okay, that's unlucky. Get the blue one. I find it really hard to get them. Like, they don't seem to ever want to be gotten. Who knows, though. Okay. Nice place. I can get used to diplomacy. These apartments are adequate, comfortable enough. And afar from prying ears. Welcome. Intruders, fire! They're not intruders. They're friends. Peace! We are friends from the resistance. Last you have returned to Valencian. What an honor it is to meet the one who rekindled the fire. You know so little of the resistance, yet we owe you so much. You must understand what Valencian and the resistance has become. After the Napoleonic Wars, we had such pride, we believed Valencian would become the new light of the spiral, leading all into a new golden age. We were fools, and deluded fools. We gave the Armada a complete control over all shipping, presuming trade would be normalized after a victory. Cain retains control to this day. In his iron grip, entire merchant companies were decimated. Trade contracts were dissolved, and the mercantile class was reduced to poverty. The first resistance was formed by the remnants of the great mercantile houses. Our leader, Captain Steed, found a spot across the spiral. But we engaged the Armada too soon. The battle was a spectacular rout. We sought to save Haven in Skull Island, but he for him refused us. With nowhere to hide the remnants of the resistance who easy prey for the Armada, few escaped, Steed retreated to his village shame. In the years after, things grew even worse. Cain isolated the aristocracy in a cloud of luxury and indolence, blinding them to the danger he poses. The Armada transformed Valence, his city, into a clockwork of mockery, relocating the guinea pig workers into ghettos below the ground. Cain allied himself with the criminal crustacean families, giving them a wealth and a power in return for service as his secret enforcers. But now the resistance stirs again. We've learned from the defeats of the past, and now we are working secrets, striking from their shadows. The inner circle that guides us is a hidden. Even we do not know where they are. We will never offer Cain an easy target again. We are the new resistance, and we will succeed. We must, or the spiral will fall. And now that you're back, we are sure to succeed. I wish I could have seen the story you made at court. Your coming may finally shake the nobility out of their stupor. Why are you here? The captain needs to talk to Calliostro. We're looking for someone, you see. Calliostro? That name is a dangerous, very dangerous. The eyes of the Armada are fixed on him. It's not enough that he's a reputed warlock. He knows where Steve is. Cain knows he knows. And Calliostro, he knows Cain knows he knows. Cain's most fearsome enforcer, Commander Typhon, follows Calliostro everywhere he goes. They say Typhon is as mighty as Rook was. Calliostro, he's a debate and a bear trap. Good luck. There must be a way. The defeat of Cain may depend on it. I cannot see a how. Captain, what's that over there? It looks like a letter. We did not bring it. Strange. Well, I reckon you'd better take a walk, hadn't you? Listen to this. Captain, it has become known to me that you have come to Valencia, seeking information. There is much I can tell you. But we have a little time. Meet me in Manacotti Atrium in the tunnels below Florenza. Count Calliostro. P.S. destroy this note once you have read it. Manacotti Atrium? The Manacottis are a grab-a-glam, a particularly sinister one. Strange that Calliostro should have wanted me to there. Not so strange. He's as far from prying eyes and ears as can be imagined. I can lead you to the tunnels, Captain. I only hope it is not a trap. Good luck. Okay. Wow. That was... This world is very condensed. I'll say that. That was basically half of the plot in just one wee dialogue scene. So, yeah. Let's go and explore the entrance. I am just going to quickly make a trip to the life fountain. Or get some yum-yums on the way, because there's battles here. I think we have to defeat Commander Typhoon already, which is kinda crazy. Can we please? Can we please get? Thank you. Yeah. So, I don't even know where we're going. Can you please, like, please? I find getting yum-yums absolutely the worst thing ever. They just hate me. Okay, where are we going? We got Contessa, which is crazy. She's the only companion we get in Valencia, which is... It depends. Is it cool? I don't know. Is it cool? It's not the best, but, like, we get a companion and we've already got it. So, like, yeah. She's level 68, which is crazy. Please, yum-yum. Look what I mean. It's so difficult, isn't it? Um, okay, where are we going? Let's see if it's on our map. There it is. Yes, we're going to the X. X marks the spot. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Okay, let's... Ah, this place. This is where I did my normal companion showcase, which you should have checked out. By now, you should. If you haven't, you should definitely. Unleash. Okay, um... I am just going to switch to a right. I'll be back after I've got this information So yeah, I'm just going to switch to a full musketeer lineup Okay, um, let's head on down So that better wasn't too hard. Oh God Whoo, really walked right into that one. Hey, that would be bad Be 80 bad super bad Okay, we'll pull we give me pigs Okay Let's enter now Enter now nine eight seven six five four three two one So Okay, let's head on in and We'll see what's down here. Oh look another fight. What a surprise Sent you Caliostro boys show them what happens to trespassers Okay, I'll be back once I've defeated these menacodic revs. Okay Finish that He'd be not here captain, but I a nice since Something further inside Okay, um, let's hit on through What do we have here More manacotti, yep, okay I'll be back after this battle Here is Caliostro Hosts will recover soon. There is a little time. Listen, you came here seeking G He is a human like yourself. His name is a gaspacho gaspacho Gaspacho really please gaspacho is a very talented artisan You could call him the grandfather of the Armada he built stands to reason. He'll know how to stop kane Where is he? Alas, I cannot tell you I know he is a prisoner, but I have no idea where kane is holding him I do however know who can't tell you you must find the inner circle of the resistance They have some way of contacting gaspacho. I know not how I Pretend to because doing so keeps kane's attention focused on a me I do however have a lead for you seek out Desdemona Daughter of count bravanzio. She is deeply involved with the resistance. I expect she can help you Now you should already yourselves commander typhon will be here momentarily what I owe the man a copy quite a song You see so I sent a ransom note saying they kidnapped me kane wants me alive Of course as bait so his mighty enforcer is racing here even now I hope you are up to the challenge when typhon arrives You will destroy him the second wave of Armada troops will find me in a grotto full of smashed clockworks and Stunned the crabs Thus our meeting never took place the Armada and crabs trounced each other Manacotti pride won't let them admit someone so young beat them Smash the clockworks of course tell no tales So you covered our tracks and eliminated the most troubling debt of mine many thanks Deserters that make any sense brilliant.
