 Oh, he's pissed now though. Okay, okay, okay, okay. So we don't have a, we've got a room full of fire now, huh? If you guys want to skip straight through to the boss fight, I will have it linked in the description as well as a comment below. What's up everybody, I'm the Magus, you are awesome. And in the last exciting episode of The Pathos, we did a bunch of shit with eagles and we got ourselves a little eagle with us now. So that's pretty cool. We're gonna call him Frank. It's a Frank. Unless it's a girl. We'll call it Frank. So now we're gonna continue on, oh yeah, I've got my cool Cyclops sight. Doesn't look like there's anything interesting around. Oh, here's one of these rope ladders. Oh, it looks like somebody failed to take the rope ladder correctly. Oh, we go. Now I've learned my lesson. I need to stand on this and then, oh, maybe, I thought I had to stand on that and then, oh, I thought I had learned my lesson. I guess not. Maybe I could push. No, can't push that. Let's use our Cyclops sight. Oh, I didn't even notice this over here. Oh, okay, we're gonna get something. What you looking at, lady? You gonna help me out? Frank? Yeah, we're going. Okay, we're just gonna put that on there. Easy enough. Oh, oh, what? That is a strong freaking eagle. Holy crap. Oh my gosh. Put that down right there. Oh, I have to whistle again. Nice. Wonder if I need that still. I hope not. All these dead, what are all these dead people around here for? Everybody's dead around here. Anything interesting here? Oh, let me use my cue sight. All right, it looks like I'm probably gonna have to go back and get that pot. It's kind of annoying that I can't hit anything for stamina right now. And that's protected. Okay, so I can grab that by standing on this. Oh, can't hit it. Oh, okay. So I'm gonna have to grab the thing back here with my eagle. Bring it forward. Have it sit on that so I can shoot that. I knew I should have grabbed this thing. I knew it. Okay, come on. Oh, okay, that's, oh, I guess I'm not as smart as I thought I was. Maybe if I stand on this, I'm probably gonna get split in half. Well, I didn't get split in half, at least. So it looks like we'll have to find some more of those because I cannot pick it up. What happens if I shoot this now? I cannot shoot that. Let's use eagle vision. Cyclops vision, whatever it is. See if we can locate anything. I am confused. It's probably like super simple. So I somehow have to, oh. Oh, I just wasn't looking around good enough. All right, come on, Frank, over here. Drop it on here. Good bird. Okay, go get that one, Frank. Oh yeah, we in business now. Come on over here. Thank you. Now let's go get the other one. I knew I was missing. Oh, he landed on me. Back down here. Bada bing, bada boom. Oh, got over here, Frank. Cool beans. All right, they're just giving us, oh. Oh, Frank don't like that one. What's wrong, buddy? Oh, he's scared. Oh, oh, look at him. He's scared. Hey, don't be scared, buddy. We'll figure it out. Oh, it's a symbol of the God Slayer. Can I shoot it? Wonder if I could just know. Can't even go near that thing because Frank freaks out. But I need to get it. Okay, you stay here, Frank. Don't land on my shoulder this time. Oh, he just lands on my shoulder every time. I can't do anything with that. Anything else we can shoot. Oh, we can't grab that. Okay, yeah, I know, bird. Jesus. Oh, it's this. I didn't see this before. Oh, I had to use Cyclops vision. Oh, okay. Now let's push this down. All right, Frank, you cool now, buddy? Let's go, little man. Hell yeah. I won't let the three-eyed guy harm you. Drop it. You dropped it too soon. That's my fault. Don't worry, bud. There you go. Ooh, we got us a little zen garden. You are here, pilgrim. Oh, it's a map. It's a map. Domain of Cerenos. What if this is like the heads of the stuff I need to fight? Oh, nest of the Eagle Mother. I'm noticing stuff that I didn't notice before. Domain of Kumo. So this is Kumo. What's up, Kumo? All right. And I'm here. I'm actually right here. Boom. So the next one up is Cerenos. So I think we'll have to fight this deer next. Okay, I don't even know if that's helpful in any way. Moving on then. Oh, there's straight-up skeleton. I don't know, man. You tell me. Is he gonna pick me up? For space to jump in space again while airborne? Oh, yeah! Oh, that's awesome. Yes, yes, please, more of that. I guess if I fell, there was a way to get up over there. It's a nice little glide. You don't really drop an altitude too much. Hey, what the hell do I need this for, even? Oh, Frank, Frank, Frank. Okay, let's see if I can send him back now for that. Nope. My plan was to go all the way to the end and then have him pick it up. So we'll just drop it over here and see if we can do that. Come on, buddy. There you go. Okay, you can't release once you're up there. Man, that is a strong-ass bird, because I don't know what that's made out of. Man, I wanna get back to where I was shooting arrows and stuff and flying through the forest. Ooh. Hey, there's a bunch of eagles. Oh, okay, music is getting a little jump-eaty. Oh, is that wind? Oh, Frank. Me and you, buddy, let's go. Hell yeah, I knew it. Oh, this is so awesome. I am not letting go of space. Yes, let's keep going. Can I shoot my bow? Because I see those things. Oh, okay. I'm dropping rapidly now. What is that up there? Oh, I can't shoot my bow. Oh, well, that was fun. I think I messed it up, but, okay. Frank, drop me. Oh, so you drop off of Frank a little bit, whenever you, okay, I'm gonna have to get used to this. Yeah, Frank drops you whenever you fire, so I need to be aware of that. So do I need Frank's help with this? Do I, okay. Okay, so I thought maybe I needed to sprint and do that. So let's head up here, what we got. Oh, I'm getting more of these, whatever these are. Again, for this dead person, you could flap while gliding and collect more crystals to be able to flap additional times in the air. Oh, nice. There's one more crystal. Press space. Okay, so it just, it brought me up pretty high there. Gotcha, gotcha. Get some new obelitoise. So boom, boom, boom. Easy peasy, limit squeezy, we got it. We got this. Now where's the things that I shoot? I got no more things to shoot. And it's indicated by little feathers up there in the UI. That's a little unnatural when you do that. But whatever, whatever. Boom, we are getting this. I guess we'll just keep heading up. There we go, now we're moving. Oh, it started swinging. I don't know where we're going, but we're getting there in a quick, fast and in a hurry. Uh-oh, now we're gonna figure it out. Oh, shit, what was that? What have we got going here? Oh, you think Cerro's, how many legs does this thing have? It's a scent of deer. Okay, where did that thing go? Where is it? I'm just gonna free Roman. Hey, what's up there? Maybe I'll follow the deer and go in here. All right, let's up and go, Frank. All right, there we are. So we need to figure out how to get it. Okay, so there's a deer totem just like we added in the first, except it's deers that have an eagle. Now how do we get it out? Probably have to do something with Frank. All right, so I got one on each side. I didn't see anything for Frank to pick up, though. There it is. I just wasn't looking hard enough. Now, can he, can I put him into the wind? That's the question here. If she's got mad up, she can get up there. What is going on? That came out of nowhere. Oh, what the hell? Frank, Frank, what the fuck? Oh, what happened? Oh, I gotta pet him again. That's fine. I like petting him. I like to pet Frank. Let's get all this heat off of you. Hey, let me just use my bare hand to wipe all this lava off of this eagle. Yeah, that's a good idea. All right. Is that gonna happen throughout the game? Because that freaked me the fuck out. Okay, we're good. Whoo, all right. Watch out for that. Oh, I was hoping he would just go up. Go after, grab it from the ground, maybe. Come on, we're gonna need to be able to see it. So maybe we could drop it out here. Let's give that a try. It doesn't work, it doesn't work. Who put that sucker? Are these other? Will he go get it? I think he will. Oh, nice. Now we just need to look for the other one and hope that lava doesn't come out of the freaking ether and land on us. Next one, where is it? Yeah, give me some stamina. Oh, what? I could just, I don't need to look for a next one. I could just stand on it. I bet. Ugh. I'm a dummy. All right, we got one. Where's the next one? Uh, I wanna go this way. Let's stay away from that red. Oh, the music picked up there for a second. I thought it was something cool was gonna happen and then nothing happened. Oh, God, red, let's get away, Frank. Let's go, let's go. No, I can't, I can't, I can't. Come on, buddy, come on, buddy. I wonder if I can avoid this or if it's just like, always gonna be a thing. Oh, God, I didn't drop close enough to a thing. There we go. All right, Frank, let's go. Why is this happening? There's something up there. Can I outrun this? Is there somewhere I can go? Tell me, game. Tutorial me. Tutorial me. Let's get in the water. I don't think that worked. Whoa, what happened? Oh, okay, buddy. What is that in the background? Holy shit. Don't move in the light. Oh, okay. Oh, you leave him alone. All right, let's go get him. This is freaking me the fuck out. Oh, okay, light, there was light. Stop looking at me. Stop looking at me with your light. He's all the way down here? Okay, so there was no way I could outrun that. All right, now I see him. Oh. Oh, did he see me? Oh, fuck, did I just die? It's so simple. Just don't move in the light. I just had to move. What is that? Oh, now I got a pet Frank. This was cool at first, but now I'm getting kind of tired of petting the bird. Simple, I had to do one thing. Not moving the light. What did I do? I moved in the light. Did we get everything? There we go. You okay now, buddy? Can I still do the, yep. Okay, so I didn't lose too many crystals, I guess. Now let's go see if we can find that thing that was up here. So that was completely unavoidable. That was just part of the game. Like I couldn't have outran. What is up there? That's where I need to go. But I wanted to see what was on top of this thing because I saw something as we were running along. Flap again and drop. Thank you. Hey, yay, crystals. That's what that is. So there's a little bit of the exploit, like I'll say Metroidvania because that's just overused as hell, but. Oh God, that was a big drop. But you are encouraged to explore to find shit like that. I've got my dear heart, so I need to go. Wow, I really fucked that up. All right, got more crystals. Love the music. Digging the music. Where's the place I need to go again? What a hell of a flap, Frank. Okay, this seems like where we need to go. Can I flap up there? Hey, I'm not. See if there's another way in. All right, so we need to find a way to open this gate. Or did I already go too far? Getting more crystals at least. What's up there? No, I'm just kind of running. What is that? What are these guys? I feel like I just missed out on something. Okay, that's the big tower I was talking about. What is this? Doesn't look like there's any way to get it. Oh, is this a big ass rope swing? Jesus, it's a long one. 13 to four? Dear heads. And there we go. There's one down. Is this, was that all? Okay, I see another one off in the distance behind us there. But I do need to get that other symbol. Wow, these little levels are actually quite large. Look around while we're up here. Something's floating off in the distance. Oh, it's one of these things that I can shoot. That's all it is. That's all it is. All right, let's go one up here, I guess. It's so weird to be there. I don't have to aim anything. Is this information from another dead person? No, no, this must be reversible. This cannot be fixed. We can change this. Our realm does not have to go the way of the other plateaus. We can still stop it. We can still stop it. I guess you could, bud. Looks like another dead guy over there. Okay, buddy, what do you got to say? Oh, there's no dead, oh, there is right there. My eyes have witnessed power reserved for gods. To watch the gods layer inflict this curse here is to witness the first step in the glorious cycle of rebirth. I am anointed. Okay, he's a cultist. Nice. Okay, where am I going? Is there a map I could pull up? No, there isn't. I see crystals down here, so let's get those. See some deer heads. What if that marks the boundary, though? Whoa, overshot that a little bit. There we go. That looks like it'd be fun to go one. Cannot shoot while I'm underwater. All right, so he can pick these up. Oh, what is this doing? What is this doing, though? So maybe I need to shoot this through here. Whoa, son of a... No, back over here, Frank, my bad. Okay, so it only goes through right here. Okay, let go. Boom, got it. All right, let's drag this one somewhere, I guess. Thank you, Frank. Did that do something? Do I have to hit it three times? I can do that. Oh, no, no, I have to hit it through all three of these. Gotcha, buddy. A little too far, Frank. Back over this way. That's my bad, dude. All right, now let's fire through all three of these. Boom. Oh, and I didn't even have to go get it. All right, so I got another deer head totem heart thing. So I guess let's go find where we can put it. We'll find another tower, I suppose. I love the little animations she does. Okay. Now we're gonna have to deal with this crap. I guess it's just completely unavoidable, so. All right, Frank, prepare to get your ass burned. All right, don't move in the frickin' light, or the centipede deer will get me. Stay there, buddy, stay there. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, thought you had me, didn't you? Just stay in the grass, sneaky sneaky. Where'd he go? Is he still up there? Where is he? Where is he? Is that light? There's light. Okay, I'm at the tree, though, we're good. He's gonna do the spinny thing again, I know it. Do I wanna risk going for Frank right now? All right, I think he's gone for now. Jesus Christ. Does that count as movement, me crouching back down? Is he just gonna run into me? Don't just run into me. Oh, my God. Don't kill me again, dude. Don't, are you? Oh, he was looking right at me. Whoo! I wouldn't say we have that mastered, but we at least did it that time. All right, let's wipe all this shit off, you bet, boy. Feel like a seagull in the Exxon Valdez shit. There you go, you good now? You good? Bye-bye. All right, where's the other, let's look for the red tower thing. I'm gonna be firing these off as we go. What if it's over there? Let's try to get on this big bridge. If for nothing more than that, it would just be fun. So there's the bridge over there. Where'd it go? Don't tell me it's hidden by the fours now. Okay, there it is. I cannot get up there, there's no way. They've had another flat. So let's continue on. Oh, I'm failing miserably. Oh, is this thing coming again? Are you serious? Seriously? All right, let's just face it. Let's just face that our bird's gonna get fucked every once in a while, I guess. This is my first complaint about the game. This happens a little too often. It's like, what's the point? Like, it was fun like the first time, but like, there's gotta be a way to avoid this shit. All right, let's go, let's go, let's go. Look for the light, look for the light. There it is. And stop. I do like how it, fuck, did he see me? He's not looking in my direction. What's he looking at? We're coming. I like how he just appears out of nowhere. I'm glad that me crouching down doesn't count as movement. Maybe it did. Maybe that counted as movement. That counted as movement. Son of a bitch! Okay, just, you got to wait Frank, I need my crystals. Oh, she gave me a little hug. No, I was going this way. All right, up and at him we go. That makes you go a little too fast sometimes. Okay, come on, come on, come on up. Oh, we gotta think we can read. What is that? Oh, it's one of the things I shot. We commemorate this bell tower in Sereno's name. The peals from these bells were ring over the entire plateau. When you hear them, bow your head and give thanks for the centipede deer. Oh, that bell ain't ringing anytime soon, buddy. I'm sorry. All right, what do you got to say, dead man? Saw the God Slayer's forces coming for many miles away. I rang and rang and rang the bell. It was no use. Had we had a year to prepare, we still could not have held off his inexorable forces. I'm sorry, buddy. You did your duty. Good on you. You're a hero in my book. You gave your life ringing that bell. I guess we're going up top. We got up here. Oh, sweet. Okay, we're on the, okay, this is pretty badass. I like, okay, what is that over there? I went too high again. Okay, okay, that's a cruise in for our landing. Okay, how do we get this one? Is that a torch? Did I just shoot a torch? Okay, how do I, how do I stop this from, oh, let me use my Q vision. It looks simple. Ooh, do I fire? Do I shoot an arrow through the fire? Is that what we do? Oh yeah. Okay, that's all we had to do. And it came right back to us. Noice. Now what's inside this Colosseum thing? Nothing? Just another wind tunnel? Ooh, it's up there. All right, well, let's use this opportunity to take a look-see for any towers or anything. Any large glowing red towers. Unfortunately, there's none of those things I could shoot to speed me along. There's one that already did, I should say. God, this game is gorgeous. Freaking love it. There we are. All right, Frank, that a way, buddy. I know I'm eventually gonna have to fight that giant deer thing. Okay, the flapping is a little unintuitive. I feel like we were already up here. That I do. We'll just keep going around here until we get to the top. I guess I could look. We'll just flappy up. Oh, that's all we had to do was flappy up. And there is another giant rope ladder thing. Going up. Number two down. Where's the third? Maybe there's only two, because there's two heads there. No, there's definitely a third. There it is right there. That's handy. Okay, I hear drum beats. Does that mean I'm about to have to deal with the freaking fire again? Well, that was a mistake to try and look around while I was eagling. That's a new verb. Okay, it's the plateau. Okay, I already got that. All right, let's go. Keep shooting these so we can move faster. This is a fun way of travel. Shoot your bow at mystical runes of travel. I'm gonna have to get to work there every day. Okay, where's my rope? There it is. All right, now this will probably initiate boss fight. Maybe Frank can stop getting his butt burned. There we are. Third one's a charm. Unless it's four now, unless it goes up every single level. Nope. Who's whispering? Oh, it's on, buddy. Me and you, let's go. How many eyes you got? Oh, it's three eyes for the three-eyed guy for the God Slayer. Venture into the heart of the curse. Cleanse my cursed child's Sirenos within. Hey, you got it. Into the storm, here we go. Coming for you, buddy. You're about to get cleansed. About to cleanse that ass. Okay, drop me, Frank. I need to, I need to move more quickly. You're on the ground. So I just need to avoid this fire I get. Oh, water, really? I'm getting it on ya. So this is like, I thought he'd be fighting me. He's just running away. Okay, this is, I'm not talking a lot because I'm really trying my best here to do this. Oh, I hit him, I hit him. Oh, shit. Oh, that's three, that's three. Oh, the fricking water. The water makes me angry. All right, I'm getting the hang of this. This is like a snowboarding game. For some, whoa! Mother, try some new shit, are ya? I dig it. It would help if I would like time these, right? I'm coming, I'm coming. All right, I'm targeting him. What kind of insanity is he gonna do now? Cause I know he's not gonna go down without a fight. Oh, yeah, jump shot. Take that, oh. Go for it, Frank, it's you now, buddy. Oh, Frank just took that bitch down. What's up? Oh, okay. That's what's up. Is this a different fight now? Are we going through the arena? We're gonna take this inside? All right, let's go, boy. Whoa, how did I get here? I don't have an attack. Okay, there's nothing for me to hit for stamina, so I should probably stop using my stamina so much. But I mean, come on, he's, okay, what's going on here? How do I attack him? All right, there we go. I just gotta wait for him to make a mistake. Make your move. Just like that, just like that. And that's giving me stamina too, so that's good, that's good. Oh, oh, there was almost a, so I need to get beside him, that's the thing. Nope, I need to wait for him to charge. Yep, now I can shoot. Boom, got him. Just need to hit him a few more times, a few more times, a few more times. Let's go, let's go. Okay, is he getting more, oh, more horns? Oh God, I was not expecting that. Do I have health? Like, I don't know how, I don't know if I'm like one hit away or what. Move to avoid that. Okay, okay, okay. Yep, now fire. Boom. Okay, let's make sure he doesn't do that thing where he launches some fire at us again. Get ready to jump, get ready to jump. Okay, that was, oh, go Frank, go. God, Frank really fucks him up whenever he goes in like that. Oh, he's pissed now though. Okay, okay, okay, okay. So we don't have a, we've got a room full of fire now, huh? Okay, what is that? What is, okay, I had to shoot that, and I did not shoot it. Oh, fire, fire, fire everywhere. Got it, oh, and it hits him, nice, nice, nice, nice. Okay, let's go, let's go. I got you figured out now, I got you figured out now. Whew, this is not Abzu. This is not Abzu. Never had to do some shit like this at Abzu. Okay, boom. Oh, again? Did I just hit him right in the eyeball? Oh, I think I, I did exactly what I needed to do, what an accident. Oh, whoa, what am I doing? Am I doing magic now? Get cleansed. Oh, there's his glowing heart. Can I turn him back into a real deer instead of a senta deer? Like I did with Eagle Mama? Ooh, water. Oh, but he's got a chuck taken out of him. Hey, buddy, I don't know how to tell you this, but you're missing your organs. Oh, him and Frankie are friends. Is that an arrow? Okay, thank you. Am I gonna somehow put that hole back in him? Yay, now all the deer can be happy in the sunlight. I'm going to miss the storm. I really like that storm effect in the sky. Oh, he gonna be pissed. Oh, I got more to go, buddy. That fight was kind of intense though, for real. Was not expecting that. You got it. Bye, whole deer. Will of Cerenose, the spear beater is now longer. Oh, so I can do more stuff. Noice. You can flap an additional time in the air. Good to go. Oh, oh, one, two. All right, folks, that is going to be it for this episode of The Pathless. I hope you guys enjoyed it. That boss fight absolutely blew me away. Was not expecting that at all. Like I said, this is from the makers of Abzu. Abzu was not all that action-packed, and that boss fight was spectacular. Really enjoyed it. Biggest complaint, didn't know how much health I had. Not ever at any point in time in the game, in the match, in the boss fight, but whatever anyway. So until next time, we'll go, next time we'll go clear that next plateau, but thank you for hanging out with me. But for now, this is the Mangoo signing off. You guys, have a good one. Mangoo.
