 Hello and welcome back to the craft box. My name is Brenton today. We're in episode 227 Of the was a one-on-one death walk-through the last time if you haven't checked it out already we Defeated Ivan to get rid of his curse that rescued and put upon him And we came back to Baba Yaga and today we're heading into the arc anum Which is the Well, you'll find out, you know if you don't know already you'll find out today I'm really excited about this. So we're actually not too far away from the end of Polaro see this So, you know like a couple more episodes, maybe three. I don't know who knows. It's not like I keep count. Do I? So, yeah, let us head through the world door Can we stop with the leg, okay, that'd be great things I'm so excited to go into the arc and can we not like today that would be great. Thanks. Oh Here we go. Yay new world New world new area fantastic The arc anum. Hello. This place is really cool The music is the best as well. It's the most Wizard one of the most well-kept secrets of all time known only to an extreme Select group of spellcasters Here the most accomplished scholars in the spiral gather in the quest for knowledge and in the interest of protecting the spiral It exists in a place of its own between worlds of the spiral enabling us to guard against threats both from within and without all The books and scrolls accumulated in all the libraries are replicated in our Repository and can be shared where we deem it appropriate Now I brought you because I think you're worthy. Don't go and prove me wrong What you see here what you hear here And for the spiral sake don't touch anything just let me do the talking Let's just say they may not be happy with old Baba Yaga Okay, if you say so let's talk to Liberian hello Well, if it isn't Baba Yaga so kind of you the graces with the visit how long has it been? I had forgotten. We even had a myth scholar Scandalous don't take that tone with me fits you I've had other priorities Until now, there's been a peculiar confluence of events in Polaris Oh really, let me guess ancient beings falling ill strange people and creatures of shadow appearing and Signs of the end of the spiral. Hmm. Yes That's it in a nutshell How did you know wait a minute? Have you been spying on me? Sure as if we have time for that don't be absurd Polaris isn't unique We've are the same rumors from other worlds too from what I gather we've made little progress But of course no one bothers to tell me anything speak to Ioni in the Hall of Divination Okay, hello, Ioni. Let's meet her. This is really cool. I'm so excited to be finally in the Arcanum. This is So cool. I'm excited about this to be honest. I'm so excited. We can also get our new spell as well, which is great Baba Yaga you've been gone a rather long time I resent you I think being unable to reach you in these dark times has been frustrating You recall my concerns about shadow magic. Well unsurprisingly I was right in fact It's worse started as a trickle, but now it's a flood. We have much to discuss But first who is this with you? I'm sure I've told you before new people make me nervous especially young ones young but an Experienced wizard nonetheless invited here is my guest. I believe this one could be a valuable ally to the Arcanum I'm skeptical a little irritated even but alright wizard We don't allow tourists here. You will be an initiate for now You must begin by going to the repository to study the Arcanum creed that will give Baba Yaga and myself time to catch up Okay, let us hit over to that so you're nice we little paintings in every single room of the home world or what is we assume the home world of most of the Scholars while there's paintings in every one and we just assume that it's a home world because the words that we have visited have kind of been sort of concept-ish arts of those worlds like the Baba Yaga one and the Mirage one, but you know, that's not a world. We don't know that right Let us head over to the repository This is such a big place as well. It's ridiculous It's so cool. There's also a Way to get potions here as well from from this dude here He'll give you potions mystical mixtures as they're called Unfortunately, I have four potions, but you know, that's fine. It's really cool Let's go over here the repository Such a big place. Hello Repository reeks of musty old scrolls and dry binding glue The Arcanum creed is engraved in massive glyphs on the wall to translate each of the glyphs You'll need to consult the ancient tomes set out on this level Okie dokie then let's read the one of creation Tom of creation. Hello Within the tomb you find a translation for the first glyph in the order a spiral Okay, let's go the knowledge weight waters. This is this parchment that would make sense. It is wall They made it make sense. That's good What are these? These are we little pets. Oh my gosh, I didn't notice that. That's so cool That's so cool level we little pets and water moles. That's really cool. That's so cool Knowledge speak to me, please Don't do this to me now. Thank you within the tone. You find a translation for the second glyph in the spiral a magic Okay, and the insight Within the tone you find a translation for the third glyph in the magic and eternity And the final one is In the eternity a what who knows we'll find out Hello inspiration Within the tone you find a translation for the fourth glyph in the eternity a truth Together the glyphs read in the order a spiral in the spiral a magic in the magic and eternity in the eternity a truth After reading the creed you feel a strong sense of belonging as if you were meant to be here Of course we were meant to be here. This is really cool though. Look at this. This looks so cool This looks so good Amazing I really like how they've used like all of them together The stars in the middle and there's like the spiral and the yeah, that's pretty cool pretty cool Let's head back to Eoni. We can go to the Ark anim. It's probably quicker at this point because it's such a humongous area Let's do this hello storm hall or the Hall of What is it divination? Need to remember what what each of the magic is called Jesus hello, so you managed to figure out the creed. I feel surprised, but not disappointment Perhaps Baba Yaga's assessment was not entirely wrong Of course it was she told me of the troubles in Polaris and your involvement all this makes me feel a little queasy But I admit it's good. You're here Ahem much as I hate to interrupt this sentimental moment. There are grave matters at stake Venkman sent word She's found the target Velma von Venkman is our shadow scholar She's tracked down the villains behind the surge in shadow magic, but she can't confront them alone The wizard is familiar with shadow magic Perhaps this is a good way to further test our newest initiate and give us more time to chat Indeed your familiarity with shadow magic makes me feel curious wizard, but I will not pry Instead we will put your talents to use take the world door to Avalon and join Velma von Venkman in Caliburn I feel at least slightly hopeful you two could put an end to this scourge Okay Let us quit we're level 110 right? Yes. We are got that a couple episodes ago We are gonna see if we can go into the other Halls because that would be great. I don't know if we can Who knows? if we can go into The astral one that would be fantastic, which is right here. Can we please? Yes, fantastic amazing. Okay. Let's get Some astral magic spells because we're level 110 and I believe that's a level we can get some of them at least Hi, Kybern. Hello Okay, what do we want don't really need you ages definitely clothes Brace We'll get it just because we can Epic definitely Radical definitely And Dimity definitely Fantastic there we go. So the other ones are adept which is upgrade of The other one which gives pips I forgot what it's called is completely runoff This is the upgrade of infallible. This is the upgrade of Berserk This is the upgrade of amplifier and that's the upgrade of mend So I'm not gonna get those ones because I don't need it, but we have epic Amazing So that one protects from removal a trap or charm from removal. What does this one do then that protects a Negative one from removal. So yeah, those are good to have for feints and such for bosses that Don't allow feints We will remove all of those we need another one It feels so good to be like Doing this Let's remove these braces and That should be a good Okay, that's all I want to do today for that but let's we'll get a Well, there'll be another video sometime soon of getting our level 108 spell Which is very long overdue because well, I mean we can go here until now, but we are over 108 Obviously, let us head over to Avalon Avalon Avalon Boop Boop Avalon. Hello good world. Yes, please good job good Boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop Lag lag hello. Hello. Hello. Hi, I'm Avalon Venkman. The Arcanum sent you. I guess you're my backup I could have handled this myself. I don't know when the other scholars will start trusting me That's a shame. Thank you. I'm glad to have the company though I don't know how much Ioni told you but I've been investigating the surge in shadow magic You ever heard of a sorceress named Morganh? Yeah, I thought so. She nearly destroyed the spiral meddling in shadow magic She's not the problem anymore, but the surge is related. I think some of her acolytes These arachna have been continuing her work. I tracked them to this place They've been using as a hideout now all that's left is to go in and confront them. Got it? Good. Follow me Okay, Kylion that is this one I know because I was there just this morning doing the daily assignment Which for today was to defeat the night goblins which are death and I don't like it when they give me death mobs to defeat It's ridiculous. Like how dare they don't they know I'm death and it takes forever. Apparently they don't Where are we even going? We've leveled up so much. It's great. Like we're nearly another level as well level 111 that'll be fantastic I don't know why I said one of them, but you know what? It's fun. What does she give us? I think she gives us shadow percent Doesn't she yeah, we've got 15%. Oh my gosh That's a monster amount 15% shadow pip chance. That's ridiculous That's crazy that's crazy stuff Let's go in and see what we can do Let's see what trouble we can cause today Fire and Storm, okay. Well, we should be good. Well, let's do this. This shouldn't be too difficult We've got epic as well, which is great. It's epic. Some people would say so yeah, did she just give us the shadow pip chance? I think she would yeah, just 10% sure, but that's ridiculous. That's so good. Oh my god Let's just see how much this is gonna do It does 830 base and now it does 1,000 what the heck okay, that's so good so good So so good blade good She'll probably faint a couple times and actually see how much healthy fizzle already. He's bad. He's so bad Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do-do-do Okay, we will enchant the dear knight. How much does that do? Mmm does mass Well enchant you think we can do that. Yep I really should get into a bit of chicken before he only has 10,000 Okay, even worse than the other people we've been facing recently. That's ridiculous 10,000 That's a couple blades and a couple of feints and he's dead. He's Easy-easy. Is that a whiptail Pantera? That is. I hate these guys. They were so annoying They were ridiculous Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do Okay, that's good Nothing at all. Can we get a shadow, but please that'd be great. I mean with thank you Like we have 15% chance surely we can get a shadow, but now right Okay, we will faint and Then we will go for a hit probably sometime soon We should probably at least get another blade or faint up one or two other He's got minus 15 Fortify is ridiculous. Why would you use fortify? I mean he only has 2,000 that's ridiculously easy. You know what? We're just gonna go for it. Let's go for it We've got epic now. We we use epic. We epic Ba-ba-dum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-boop Hello Aha, let's go. Oh, how much damage did you call me? 3,070 that was close I mean might as well try, you know, we'll get a shadow pretty quickly. I assume we'll do another blade or two He has what like 3,000 health? Probably not 2,000 even easier. I don't need you. I mean Let's just have fun. Let's go for this. I don't know why but we're going for it. Whatever Whatever We crit you see we're just too good. Can we weapon cast as well? Nope. Okay, that's fine That's fine. I didn't want it anyway. He's literally fizzled just everything. I don't think he's actually cast like a proper spell That's ridiculous. He's so bad We'll blade and then we'll hit again with a Lulu hopefully otherwise day and night and he should be dead Just got less than a thousand probably finally he takes a spell. Geez finally not fizzling good job that did nothing good job and shadow but my coming in clutch with them clutch shadow books hello good job you're here yeah let's go yeah easy peasy what do we get what's the longbow oh this is level 72 stuff oh that's pathetic it's not even fun I don't approve of that I really don't approve of that stuff let's see what we have to do next oh did I not go to the right place oh I didn't even go to the right place oh my god I'm an idiot I'm like why why do they have like no health and isn't like a whiptail Pantera at level rank 11 a bit too low but I didn't really think about it I'm an idiot I'm such an idiot we're exposed I knew Avalon was a poor place to hide let us not go down gently though we fight to the end well you've seen a boss fight this is basically what I'm going to do for this one so I'll be back in just a sec okay I am back that was very embarrassing and I'm sorry for my idiot idiocy hopefully we are definitely killing them and I'm not sure about it couldn't find feints you know feints are just ridiculously bad to find these days ridiculously hard to find okay hello you think you're cool but that's fine you're not let's go for now our feints come yay good job good job okay so it makes me feel just so much more great about myself when feints come after I've heard and embarrassed myself you know it's ridiculous this guy can stun so he's a bit annoying but otherwise it's just a normal health normal health normal ice kind of dude so not too big a deal really didn't even reduce I was about to say didn't even reduce backlash what okay but don't worry it did let's inch on you even though we're going to get a shot up anyway because we're good 8000 we will play we will play and then we will go for a nice little paint again if we can that would be great maybe not okay I mean why not why not we're just getting shadow pips out our ears so I mean might as well just spam it now we can do that because we can yay good job okay hello yeah he's not dead damn it another one of those would kill that'd be good don't know if we have enough blades for that but you know whatever he fizzled who that's unfortunate he reduces backlash much he's gonna take a lot of damage not too much but he's gonna take some damage okay take more damage than the idea you don't know how much that was because we can't see thank you pit for yelling me good job gonna be nearly full health again yay yeah good job okay um let's see we got this now which is good 3000 okay okay we have no more of those that's unfortunate well let's go for this and then we'll go for a day and I and then if we still need something we might as well just go for a wanted and then we'll reshuffle if we have to hopefully we don't because we can maybe crit one of these times thank you he's dead good jeez that took way too long I'm an idiot as well if we go into the battle good job me good job me yeah me go go me why must you do this our queen is gone and we seek only to live out our days in peace your queen is gone but her legacy persists shadow magic still corrupts the spiral you expect us to believe you're not responsible of course shadow magic continues to spread grandfather spider is free along with his children the spirals doomed but we are spurned and no little why ask us when the one who released grandfather spider from his prison stands at your side of course your wizard friend would have known grandfather spider better by another name he called himself old cob hold on what are you saying you mean the wizard wizard could we maybe um have a word outside sure thing I was just waiting for that to happen honestly just waiting for that to happen knowing that we actually defeated more gants than we freed or cob I mean grandfather spider yep okay well I'm just waiting for that one kind of walked right into it okay hello well I guess there are no coincidences so you're the one who defeated the shadow queen wow color me impressed and it's true about grandfather spider dark more has some scary bedtime stories but the ones about grandfather spider were the worst yeah about Raven and spider was a myth but now I find out he's real it does explain the surge in shadow magic though all right this is bad that's true but it's not the end of the spiral not yet at least right and of course this doesn't look good for you I should be the one to go tell Ioni I'll go now maybe she'll calm down before you return okay let's go home I am so annoyed that I went into the wrong schedule that is so embarrassing whatever it's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine thank you our cannon good job yay and we will go and face the rough of Ioni and she's gonna be so furious with us she's gonna be very annoyed I can guarantee that right now but let's see if she maybe not maybe not maybe she isn't who knows hello Ioni where are you load please that would be great thank you great success thank you Lord Lord please please Lord thank you Lord thank you thank you so much I feel conflicted I want to dislike you now more than ever but if it's true you defeated Morgan I have to give you some credit for that furthermore there's no time for me to rebuke you the revelation that grandfather spider has escaped his prison changes everything there can be no doubt that spiders return is a threat to the spiral we must work together and move quickly to find out what web he weaves I'm pleased to say Baba Yaga has agreed to resume her duties here at the Arcanum go speak with her in the hall of conjuration okay she also teaches um spells so all of these teachers you can learn spells from all of the ones that you would normally learn from Houston but also you can learn other ones like windstorm and what else she knows probably not that one you can learn Trident in the Storm Lord which is really cool the ones that you need to be level 104 so those are quite cool and each school has their own specific ones that you can learn I can't remember all of them off the top of my head obviously but you know I mean you wouldn't use them anyway but just because you can use TC and they also do more damage anyway so I mean makes sense myth is directly opposite I believe or close enough to yeah myth is here hello hiya how's it going Baba Yaga let me talk to you once more please that'd be a good idea hi see this is all Polaris stuff on the walls yeah that's what I was talking about hi I knew you were troubled the first time I laid eyes on you I just didn't realize how much trouble why didn't you tell me you were the one who defeated Morgan I don't know if that's a sign of modesty or if it's just plain suspicious don't bother answering what matters now is you help us clean up this mess and since I'm stuck here that means you get to do the footwork now that we've confirmed grandfather spiders return it seems clear to me that this Rasputin character is one of spiders children the question is which one of spiders children is he that might help us figure out what terrible plans he has for Polaris Xander the Arcanum life scholar has been studying ancient texts about spiders children I want you to go find out what he's learned don't let Xander fool you he doesn't talk but he has a great deal to say come back when you've got something more unrest okay let's go back to not back to let's go meet Xander now what a lad I love Xander he's great fantastic years do do-do-do do-do do-do do-do-do do do-do-do do do-do-do do-do do-do-do do-do-do do-do-do-do do-do-do hello um let's head on in and wait for it to load forever and once it's loaded we will meet Xander hi patience initiate patience Questions are only the seeds of answers, and answers need room to grow before they can be harvested. You wish to know about grandfather's spider's children, do you? They're a dark brood, to be sure, born out of pure misery during spider's captivity. Each of them has a true name and form. We're talking about a dark, shadowy nature that they'll probably try to disguise. Disguised or not, the children are driven by spider's vengeful ambitions. The spiral stands for all they hate. They will try to destroy it. That's the big picture, but you want to know about one child in particular? Talk to our balance scholar, Jackie Whisperwind. She'll help you. Okey dokey, balance time. Let's go into the balance scholar and see what we have to learn about today.

Oh, hi, you're the one from Ravenwood, right? I've always wanted to visit there. I hear there's a street called unicorn way Yep, I love unicorns and Pegasi. Have you ever ridden a Pegasus? There's so fast. That's good. If you're in a hurry I'm always in a hurry And I forget what I'm supposed to be doing. Oh, yeah I'm supposed to be helping you learn about grandfather spiders children. I found something There's a bunch of cave paintings in Zafariya the ancient Zafarians somehow recorded information about How did they know right amazing and I wonder how they drew the paintings? Is it really paint or is it chalk? It looks like ink, but oops. I'm getting distracted Zafariya Look for an archaeologist named Airdale Guthrie. Tell him Jackie will share her secret if he helps you okay, um she's very um It's kind of really funny because I think they tried to make the scholars the polar opposite to The teachers at Ravenwood Bubba yug is nice. I only is not nice Well, it doesn't seem to be nice. Jackie is fast where L has read as slow and I mean whirlwinds and are just the same though Nobody can doubt that whirlwinds and oh, they're amazing both of them amazing I've also noticed that all of the scholars are actually the opposite gender of the Ones in Wizard City. Where are we going Zafariya? Nearly forgot that they're the opposite gender, which is really interesting So anyone who had a male was now female like Bubba Yuga and Houston is now a Yoni Yeah, and yeah, it's kind of kind of interesting Let's go to the Savannah. No, I don't like being back in Zafariya. It gives me bad memories bad memories of defeating 10 and then defeating 10 and Then doing nothing and then defeating 10 And then defeating 10 and collecting 10. Yeah, that's not fun. Zafariya not fun Dislike it thoroughly. Where are we even going? Over this way. I always get random leggings as far as also bad Hello mistwood. Yay. Gotta get some of that mistwood. You're not usually here. Are you I? Say you look more learned than some of these other wizards I see running around here I'm Airdale Guthrie, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Oh You're interested in the early Safari and mythos too fascinating material, isn't it? I'm doing research for the Royal Museum. I might be willing to share my insights Wait, wait, you're a friend of Jackie's of course then the cave paintings are just in I was about to go in and study the Paintings but one has come to life, and it's quite hostile if you'll deal with it. Well, we have a deal I find it's so funny a hostile cave painting that came to life. Oh, no run quick It's a painting that came to life. We got a Need help for this one needs so much help geez Let's see if it's really that bad. Oh look it is a Kated painted cave monster This is actually really cool It's actually cool really ridiculous, but cool. I like it. I like it a lot Um, let's see rank 15 fire 13 Okay, not too much health, which is good. Let's go for a nice wee blalala aid Blalala aid hello there Do-do-do-do-do do-do-do You're on link, okay, that's cute Does like 17 good job Not even hurt yet either so I don't see why you're dealing, but that's fine. I'm not gonna judge you for that one Um, let's do this one. Let's just cut you Do another spirit blade I I'm surprised it's only one just the boss I would expect there to be more, you know, but nope just the boss Kind of weird I think it's so funny this like how it's just a 2d piece of painting really that's coming alive and Like I don't It's funny the people are so clever. I swear it's ridiculous ridiculous Okay, another we faint a faint I should say because we have an extra put another one on only one Only one Fizzle that's unlucky Gotta try harder next time. Don't you? Sure do Let's do this blade. Whoops didn't even click myself. Good job Well, how much is this gonna do 99? Oh my god nearly a hundred four so good Fizzle again unlucky Can we get something good? Okay, I mean not what I was going for but that's fine 13,000 we can't do that yet. I don't think No, we don't need that. Well, we're just gonna pass Just gonna pass whatever just pass just pass pass pass pass. Hello fire off. Whoa. What is this try an avenue or something J's? Fire off What a spell we're just kind of you Can we get a good thing a blade possibly thanks Okay, we will hopefully get a Another faint actually, no we can't we need to put them as well. We'll just hit next. I think we've got what four blades One two three four. Yeah four blades in a faint. They should be fine. They should do a lot Okay Strange didn't they okay. They even do much. Don't know why you would do that, but that's fine Let's go Let's do this See how much this does and won't do too much I don't think but I mean better than nothing Better than nothing we can always just spam Lulu or deny it or whatever. Oh crit. He's dead. Okay. Good job. There we go fantastic Hidden block either which is even bigger Yay. Bye. Bye How much would have that done that would have been all that would have been close No, that would have killed him without a crit. So we're fine. I say good show wizard come closer now These cave paintings are sure to be less hostile and more informative Okay, then Hello Fascinating as I suspected these paintings reveal just how superstitious the ancient safarians were Not only did they believe an old evil spider was imprisoned underground They thought his children would someday rise and destroy the spiral Here we have the scorpion a master alchemist in ruthless warlord prophesied to rise from the desert sands and steal the Sun This this is the bat a brilliant shape-shifting vampire a master of illusion and subterfuge And with a heart as black as night and last the rat eldest of spider's children a mad creature of corrupting influence He steals into men's minds and makes them his puppets Can you imagine they actually believed in this hogwash? What what was it something I said? That's all you need All right, give Jackie my regards. Yeah hogwash. That's what it is. Okay. Um, let's Head on back. Let's go to the baby crossroads. It's probably quicker She knows probably quicker to go home whatever same thing Doesn't really matter should have probably left a mark. It's fine Um, yeah, who would believe in that superstitious stuff? It's not like Obviously we freed old Cobb and his children are destroying everything No, definitely not that Yeah, we obviously know which one we're facing now obviously the rat Yep, and then obviously the other children are later worlds Which we're not quite up to yet and by quite. I mean not quite. We've got a couple of episodes left, you know Just a few um, let's go talk to Jackie though Hey, welcome back. How was Walleroo? Oh wait. No, you were going to Zafaria. That's right. Yes. Did Airdale help you? Oh good I'll have to send old Airdale. Thank you note tomorrow or maybe next week right now I had to find this book about spiral astrobiology. Oh the cave paintings. Yes, you learned about spider's children That's great. You should go tell Baba Yaga right away. Now. Where was I? Let's go back to Baba Yaga, and then I think we will end off the episode there Just because it's probably quite long I originally had this episode as like two, but I just wanted to you know, do it all because It's the first part of the Arcanum the first time we see it. We got to make something special of it. So, you know Yeah, that's cool And it would have been shorter if I hadn't actually gone into the wrong battle either That was embarrassing that never happened though. Obviously that is something that you blocked out of your memories Definitely something I completely forgot about as well. Bye. Bye. I hear you had to work with Jackie Sometimes hard to follow isn't she? Sometimes there's wisdom in her madness So you discovered Rasputin's true nature Rat a puppet master that sounds fitting But what is the rest plan Polaris? I believe it's the borealis gemstones that are the key Why was he mining them? No, they're magic. But what kind of magic? I gave a small borealis gem to our father scholar Ignospheric go to the whole of pyromancy and see if Indus has been able to glean anything from it Okay, so next time we will be heading over to Ignis Thank you for watching and to deliver like and subscribe and if you've already subscribed press the little bell So you know exactly when I post another video and remember craft outside the box
