 Welcome back to the death walkthrough today. We're on episode 307 and we're starting by talking to buttleby by a creature that haunts you. I cannot see it and therefore it cannot be a thing of the spiral, nor of worlds beyond. Not merely the old one as you call him, he is no more, absorbed into a sentient void, a living absence, nothing. You are tied now to paradoxical forces, connected to elements more primal than I. I can see all that is. You now see what never was. So only you can follow this nothing creature whatever it leads, to Lemuria, to secrets that have eluded even me. I sense great pain in their discovery, but it must be born. The stolen world must be found, and the song that lashed it together silenced forever. This spiral of yours, it's like noise, static, interference, repelling, obscuring, stranding me in shapelessness. Silence. Silence but for the howling of the old one's last wish. To save Lemuria. Yes, save it. It is dying, you see. Dying. Ugly word. It is running down. That is the phrase in the old one's mind. I can see his memories in a way. Sometimes we are as one now. His thoughts and mine merged. But his mind is a book of ten thousand pages, full of fragments and docks of death? Specifics are hard to find, especially while willing myself here. We need more clues, like the one in Mirage. Is there another place that gathers such antiquities? A museum? A royal museum? Go there, wizard. Welcome to the royal museum. Would you like a tour of our exotic crocotopia wing, or perhaps the savage Polaris experience? Lemuria. Good show. I don't know what that is. There is nothing here on display, whatsoever. Perhaps in storage. Oh, but the drones. Rampaging security drones, you understand. I don't understand it at all. But the blasted things are on the fritz. Happens almost a time. Or at least since we fired that one engineer, which I'm sure is pure coincidence, at any rate, since there's no security at present, I can't stop you. But if you do go to our storage warehouse down the street, you will almost certainly perish. The choice is yours. Message playback, no, you're fired. Right, looks like we got to defeat some rampaging potbellies. They're rank 17 fire, not too difficult. They have a little bit of health, 3,380, which isn't too bad. We should be able to just blade into a Scarecrow and it should kill them, hopefully. Theoretically, they know quite a few things. Obviously, fire blade. They look different now. Oh my gosh. So as you've seen, Lemuria has been released as I'm recording this. So yeah, it's pretty cool. Everything has changed. All the blades look weird. Death ones especially. Not sure if I like them, but generally, most of the others, I'm not too upset about. I think they look good. Definitely an improvement for some of them. But I do think death is a little bit, not the greatest, you know, it's a little bit, whereas the other ones are a little bit, a little bit more clean. I think that's like the only thing I would say about the death ones. It's just the white and the black doesn't really contrast too well between them. So it does make it a little bit difficult to see where the blade bit actually is. But hey, that's just my opinion. Could be wrong. Who knows? Who knows? Okay, no dialogue. I was expecting some dialogue, but this is such a cool place though. This is so cool. There's the astralob. Don't know how that made it here. They just yoinked it from Celestia after us doing all the hard work. She seems to be quite agitated and upset. Don't know what happened here, but you know, it's fine. So we've got a raging potbelly sun, which is a rank 18 elite, and a raging potbelly boy, which is just fire again. This one has 4,425 health, which is a decent amount. I assume it will resist fire. I think it's myth and something else. Can't remember off the top of my head. It must be storm. See the storm or life. It must be life. I think it's life, fire, life and myth, I think. It's not death. Death is moon. No, it must be, is it storm? I don't know. It's something along those lines. It's definitely fire for sure. Fire wizards, I'm sorry, but you're not going to have too much fun in this dungeon. It's very, very unfortunate. Oh look, there's a mural. That's exciting. Look at it. There's another mural. A number two mural. Very cool. Right, let's do this. This should hopefully kill. We should do enough damage, I would say, especially if we crit well. Yeah, we boost, which is good. Lovely, lovely, lovely. GG. Easy clap. Fantastic. Look at all of these wizards. All murals from different not-hears, worlds different times, depicting the same thing, the old one, always the old one, grabbing at isolated pieces of the spiral, stealing them, combining them into something new into Lemuria. He made it, he built it, and it's dying now. That is my fault. He was trying to save it, and I, I, oh look, discovered by Stallion Quartermane. I saw that name somewhere in some chapter. Try asking the museum thing. Right back to the museum. Oh yes, Stallion Quartermane, that one, I do know, one of the spirals' earliest adventurers and founder of the Geographic Society. A master archeologist, mathematician, hand-to-hand combatant, and flautist. He's the mold in which heroes are forged. Alas, he vanished in search of... The old one. Pardon me, wizard. Blimey, my head. The old one, yes. I suppose the world render he was searching for would be quite old by now. The world render was quite old even then. Come to the outside, wizard. I do not wish to cause further unpleasantness. Apologies. My very presence overloads the thing's senses with incompatible signals. It is why they can't see me, why they experience discomfort. But on Quartermane there are memories here of him, and the old one working together on Project Lemuria, and a secret lab in the mountains in Polaris. Yes, Polaris. And then hundreds of pages complaining about Napoleon. Let us go to this Polaris. See if other things there can help. Why are we here? Ah, the proprietor is an explorer, knowledgeable in legends and lost things. Which one is this Taylor Coleridge? He's away. Disappointing. Is there another explorer thing here you're familiar with? Bonjour, la wizard. Comatola, Vue. Ah, Vue. Vue have noticed my new dialect. I have been here a while now, no? How can Lezut help you? Oh! La Expeditione do lusts, do stallion de la Quartermane? You do not think petite. But if it were in Polaris, I'd have found it, no? Unless it were on the mountain do madness. Anyone who goes there comes back mad. Or not at all. A good place to lose an Expeditione, I suppose. The path is in the Forlorn Tige. If Vue must go, mon ami, take with Vue this word of warning. Pamplemousse! I don't know what it means. Why do you delay? Lemuria's time continues to run down. Quartermane's expedition is our best clue to find it. What is my interest? Why do I care? Is that what I'm doing? Caring? I don't know. The old one cared. It was his last care. I inherited it. I never felt that kind of sensation before. Annoying, panging feeling. I reacted strongly. What is that? Guilt? Guilt. I don't like that word. I can't focus on that now. I have to focus on staying on existence. The everything rejects the nothing, remember? Must focus, fight back. I must think so that I am. And we must press on. Right, welcome to the Madness Mountains. I'm sure nothing terrible will ever be inside these mountains and nothing terrible will happen and go terribly wrong and we definitely won't have any entries after this. For sure. Definitely not. Never happens. Is this what madness looks like? No, wait. I know these. I made them. Or not me. The other me. The not me. Guardian machines made of flesh and metal and hatred. I, he, we, called them crazy eyes because they make one crazy. How do they? Ah, I see. There are diagrams here. They are. They are something. Let's put in a couple of prisms because they are deaf and we don't like that. So yeah, these crazy eyes will be seeing so many more of these. But they are ranked 17 deaf, 3,635 health. Not too bad. We're going to just prism right off the bat. They probably know, empower, sacrifice, all of the above. So it's probably a waste of time. But hey, whatever. We'll pretend that it'll work. And if not, we've got other spells that we can use for sure. But yeah, we'll just pretend that it works, I guess, and hope that they don't do anything crazy like sacrifice or empower because I know that they want to. They desperately, desperately want to do that. They're running out of pips, you know, they just really want to go for a cheeky wee empower right now. Watch it happen. It's going to happen, trust me. It's going to happen. At least one time we fight something, it's going to happen. It's just going to happen. They love to spite me, no matter what. Oh, Shipper Falls. Wow. Crazy. Imagine knowing Shipper Falls. Couldn't be me. One thing that I hate about Shipper Falls is that generally when you hit going the other way, it doesn't look right. The cinematic doesn't quite work as well as it should. But that's fine. That's fine, I guess. It's okay. It's okay. I'm surprised they didn't spite me today. This is great. This is fantastic. We can just absolutely obliterate them. They're even helping in the process by putting a plus 30 on themselves. So kind of them. So considerate. You know what? I honestly will call them friends. They're obviously not even up plus 70. Wow, okay. They must not mess faint then. That's crazy. Yikes. They just really obliterated themselves there. I didn't even need the prism. Who would have thought? Mind-melters. Sorry, lost in thoughts. I couldn't think, so I wasn't am. The creatures melt minds with overwhelming signals. But as the tree said, yours is now an atypical mind. Immune to such signals. This is a campsite, yes? Perhaps it merits a look. Perhaps it does. Let's find out what we see here. There's a journal. What does that say? Not to treasures, but to victims. They must be avenged. I will find the world render and his Lemuria and restore what has been stolen. How strange. Their intentions were once unified, then they weren't. The everything is complicated. Let us just continue our search. It's really interesting going back to doing these prequests, because I've already finished Lemuria on my fire wizard. And it's really strange. More monsters. Yep, more of them, buddy. I know. Such a shame. It's really strange going back and learning the prequests and how much there was actually there, and we didn't even realize. Like, there was so much about the world here that I don't think many people sort of realized how much was actually spoiled. We basically know the whole story already, or the vast majority of the story. We get hints at what the plot will be, which is really why would you do this? Why? This man just wants me dead. This is so sad. He refuses blades. He's like, no, sorry. But yeah, we've got a rank 18 elite crazy eye. He's got 3935 health just a little bit. Just a little bit. But that's fine. We can deal with that. We can deal with that. As long as he doesn't remove my blades again, which knowing my luck, he probably will just get minus 20 really. Really? Oh, these guys hate me. These guys hate me. We're gonna hit anyway. We'll see what happens. We may not kill. We do have two shipper falls and a reshuffle though, so we should be fine. We should be fine. I don't know if the death's gonna die just because we do not have a prism on him. And he probably has some insane crazy resists because that'd be like that. Yeah, he has some insane crazy resists there, but that's fine. That's fine, I guess, to be kill one of them. Oh, we killed the death. Nice. Okay, that's cool. Just the boy. Just the myth guy. That's fine. That's fine. Myth is okay as long as he doesn't earthquake, but she chose not to. It doesn't even matter. I don't have any blades anyway. So yeah, we'll just quickly go for a shipper falls. 311. This would do about a thousand, maybe close to two. I can't remember how much this does without blades, but I know it's not enough to get to 3,000. I think it's around like 1.5 to 2,000 depending on how good our crit is on the enemy. Yeah, about 2,000. Nice. That's not too bad. That's not too bad. He's definitely did. He's big did. I remain confused. The old one and quarter main, they helped each other, as we help each other, but then they stopped. Will we stop? Will we turn on each other as they did? Do all things separate like that? Does this individuality inevitably lead to conflict? Huh. Thank you, wizard. Wise words. I must stay focused. I mustn't fade again. Quarter main expected to find the old one here. Perhaps in there? Spooky door with his old one logo on it. I wonder what's in here? Who knows? Who knows? Let's find out. This is familiar. Look around. See what you can find. Um, spooky lab. There's a control panel. What else is in here? Nothing too much. It's quite a cool area, though. Quarter main found me out. Shame, really. He was a man of unusual competence. I know he's coming for me now. Perhaps he can still be of some use. Lemuria will meet people like stallion quarter main. It might theory holds true. And what better template than the man himself? He just needs some time to cool off. Oh, look. It's stallion quarter main. His various systems of chemical reactions, electrical charges and musical notes are still active. He is not dying. The other one. Aliving, I think. Yes. Let's release him. Okie dokie. We release him. Here we go. Ka-blam. That you, fiend! Wait, who are you? The wizard? What a bizarre and unremarkable name. I am stallion quarter main. Stand back. I have a world render to pummel. Oh, already gone, is he? Fell down a hole. How have I missed all this? How long have I been here? That is a very large number of years. So, the whole spiral. Everything I've ever known is gone? That means I can explore it all over again! To adventure! I find his personality charming. How diverse and wonderful this everything is. I'm so glad I discovered. Right. Let's head back to Worskburg. Pinguin's fantastic. What about Lemuria? You said the Squid Man was gone. Surely you uncovered his pet project? No, Aime. Don't even know what it is. Why, it's a world made of other worlds. Worlds I discovered before I knew why I was sent for them. Worry not, for I have a map to Lemuria in my journal that we... Not there, Aime. Then it's a good thing I made a copy. Ha-ha! Now, where would all my effects have gone after so many years? To the Royal Museum? Of course! To adventure! It's you! Did you find the lost expedition of Stallion Quartermane? More than that, they found the man himself! Ha-ha! Go ahead, bask in my return. I won't be embarrassed. A historical performer. Splendid. They're probably looking for you in the Stallion Quartermane Memorial Tower outside. Go now. Scoot! Dad the wizard! I just can't believe it! This is Marleybone now? In my day it didn't even have rooftops. Now they're everywhere! But I believe this is the tower we seek. It smells like bravery. Come along to adventure! Right, so let's enter the Stallion Quartermane Tower. Yeah, so apparently they think that he's the fake and a historical performer, so that's always a good sign. But we know that that's not the case because we unfrozen, so probably not the case. But you never know. Tell me I'm fired! Just because one goryship crashed into one building with one grade of 100 pre- Who are you? Stallion Quartermane at your sa- Great! Some museum actor. Well, I'll show you. I'll show them all. Revenge is a dish best served on- Yikes, this girl has some problems. Not gonna lie. She's a disgruntled employee. I think it's best to just put her out of him. Actually we don't even need that. It's just just Petfaint. Petfaint is better. Right! This guy, kind of annoying. Rogue engineer. I remember kind of frustrating. She does have some cheats. I think she limits your hand a little bit, which isn't nice. Very not nice. Let me quickly bring it up. Yeah, she limits hands. Let's figure it out real quick. I think it's just two, no matter how many people are in there. But some people do quite a few. So yeah, two card limit. They cannot be discarded. At the beginning of each sometimes rounds, another one will be added. At the end of every round, even though it is not cast, Rogue engineer will use a version of Legion Shield on her team if she has no shields, which is slightly unfortunate. But hey, that's fine. She has a storm wizard, so she does a lot of damage. She has like 8000 health, which isn't actually too much. Like, not gonna lie. There's not much at all. I do feel like we're just gonna blade and then hit. I think that's probably a good idea. But yeah, she can get shed. She can do Iron Sultan. She can do Rosolka. She can do Glowbug. She can also do Sound of Musicology. All kind of dangerous. She can and feeble you as well, which is not nice. And she did not do that. She didn't, which is good. She has 119 outgoing damage and 28 pcs. So yeah, not great. 70% resist to storm and 5% boost to myth. So yeah, definitely need those prisms. Or have 100 million, 100 million trillion pcs. But yeah, good luck. Good luck storm wizards. I would recommend team. We're gonna do this. This will be good. And it'll kill the minions for sure, which is good. Because we are already starting to die, which is not great. And more pcs. You don't need more pcs. Dude, what are you doing? 28 plus 20. Holy moly. 48 pcs. You don't need that. That is like too much. Please stop. Cease this immediately. You don't need it. Please stop. Never again. Nope. Nope. Crazy. Right, we crit, which is good. Two blades. And we're gonna pierce a little bit of the shield. It's not much because it's what, minus 40 or something, which is not great. But still piercing it a little bit is nice. We killed the minions, which is good. Back to full health. Just the boss left, I believe. Yup, that's cool. She is gonna be a little bit of a challenge. Little bit of a challenge. That is for sure. For the minimalism, another hand limit, which is not great. Not great. Uh oh. Sound of musicology. This is gonna hurt. This does a lot of damage. This does a lot of damage. Like a lot of damage, especially with all this pierce. I'm gonna like explode. This cuts through like literally all of my resist. Nearly all of my resist. It's insane. Absolutely insane. At least she doesn't have the infall anymore, which is good. Pip conserved. Mass faint. Hello. Thank you, buddy. Thank you, buddy. Appreciate it, dude. We're just gonna go straight away for a ship of fools. That's like 270 feints on her. Love to see it. Love to see it. This is gonna hurt though, because this is a 75 and a 30. So this is gonna kill me nearly. Yup. Nearly killed me. But it didn't. That's the keyword. It didn't. So it could have, but it didn't. That's the only bad thing about having me cast mass faint. It's kind of a death sentence sometimes, especially when I'm soloing. Slight death sentence. But it's okay, right? It's okay. Probably. I don't know how much this is gonna do. Hopefully it kills. 4k. Not too bad. Not too bad. Not too bad. Not too bad. One more and we should be good, I would say. Yeah, she doesn't have much. How much health does she have? One. Yeah, okay. We might have to reshuffle, because I think we need a blade. I think we need a blade to kill. I'm gonna try this. I'm gonna try this. See what happens. But we might need a reshuffle real quick. Real fast. Quickly find a blade. I'm gonna have to do it really quick though, because we are running out of cards, especially when she does for the minimalism too much. She's minimising me. I don't like it. Is this how tabs feel, to be minimised? Who would know? Ooh. That might have killed. Did that kill? It did! Epic. Wow. Nice. And let's see. Ah yes, here it is. My map to Lemuria. Let's get into the fresh air, the wizard. This will take some explaining. I wonder where it is. Let's find out. Right now. Let's do this. Wise men. That is where we will find Lemuria. But alas, reaching it is no mean feat, or it is a whisper only. A rumour. No one knows how to locate the Arcanum. Come again? You have an apartment there? Let's go at once to adventure. Great galloping, Gadzooks. The Arcanum is real, and I have discovered it. But there's no time for braggadocio. We've work to do. Take a look at this map, the wizard. See that squid? It marks the spot. To the spot! Here it is. Well, behind this intimidating gate with the energy crackles, this is the old one's domain. This was his office before the schism of the old Arcanum. This was an early chapter in his story. This is where he fragmented worlds to build something new. This is why you met him. Why I met him. This was why he went to Caramel. This is where we'll find Lemuria.
