The visual humor is off the charts in this series. I burst out laughing at the "keep your eyes peeled" (8:15)

25:30

Thanks again Krugg. I am sure I said before but you got me through lockdown in covid and I'll always be grateful for that. The best content on the internet in my opinion!

I love the little dancing mushroom. Seems like a real fun guy hoho.

Oh my fucking god that intro, this is just getting more and more unhinged LOL

I didn't check, did the bridge ever actually make it across? Like could you make an adventurer and walk across it?

This is a fantastic series keep it up Krug!

the tumbling pod and the chromeling....... you simply love to see it

Do Not Like How The Intro Is Now Definitive With It Being Unoriginal And Does Not Fit The Theme Of Caves Of Qud. We Miss The Effort And Charm Given Your Other Series. Digress Over Community Reputation And Supposed Funny Memes, Oh Well. Ten Minutes To Be Brought Back To Immersion. The Amount Of Animation Frames Is Beautiful, But Feel It Takes A Lot From Amount Of Story Foretold.

The mushroom is best

love the weird. more weird please

I think Acius is going to live for a long time. His companions though...

Every time you say "Gate Bandits", all I hear is "Gay Bandits", haha. Good for them. Let's go, lesbians!

Some animals (especially the giant variants) when attacked will actually fight back and while a horse hoof might dent a goblin skull I can ASSURE you a giant ape fist will explodificate the entire goblin into pieces.

eh, shame to see how much this series went downhill, ive noticed early signs of it before with the constant bringing up of him not fighting which was obvious that he would and it was just annoying, and the coins kept being alluded to but never really did anything, it does make me wonder how much of this was planned in advance. Reguardless i don't see it worth watching the end to this or the next one no matter what happens, just not a fun or good story in my opinion and might put me off from watching krugg for a while

12:55 I wonder if the Macaque-man isn't the dwarf interpretation of their troglodyte neighbours.

Your pace is fine since it really could end at any moment, but at the speed you're going you would probably take another couple dozen episodes at least to reach the end game content. Odds are you die way sooner than that, although your build is a bit less risky than what I usually run.

I think you going into the game without looking anything up is honestly delightful-- the appeal of Qud is being lost in this gigantic and incomprehensible world, and going in fully blind adds to that.

I have put getting Dwarf Fortress off for some time. I just recently bought it and your videos have very creatively shown me the limits of the game, which is so important when trying to RP a bit, not knowing the limits can ruin immersion. This video provided goals for me to achieve and now I know to take my time and not rush anything. This was because now after watching this I can understand the complexity I should be expecting. The detail in this game is something I will definitely be appreciative of. Keep up the great work! Please! This kind of content is going to be useful forever and the story you've crafted is great.

100 percent can die at anytime lol take it slow man u killing it

18:30 organic beemo from adventure time?

Love your vids!

Remember your healing items!.. Also, did you sell the sphinx salt injector..? They're extremely useful for True Kin...

Love your vids!

I love the mushroom voice, it gives me big BMO vibes

The art is so good >w<;;

This series is great! I want Krugg to have more views, but I don't know anyone else who wants to watch these playthroughs, so I'll just support with a comment as usual.

u rock

Lo' feeble waterhand, witless pilgrim, take the slow path if you cling to life and limb as you have been. Be vigilant in thine travels for pon' statue, paint, and scrawled colored words hold secrets made valuable during ritual. Though oft' refereed as 'water ritual' many a denizen sup not pon' the life waters of you and I, oil, slime, blood and more- all might need be had for proper ritual if friendship with those other you seek. True kin you are, the Templar's ire you have yet wrought, ritual with their like you will find most beneficial if you are truly to. . . Become.

I have been watching Krug for some time now, and I think the illustrations/animations are my favorite in these Qud videos. They’re always fantastic and charming, but something about these is so fun

Happy new years! The fort looks incredible.

Don't worry too much about being hated by robots, by default they're going to dislike you quite a bit. That said, Truekin have an easier time making friends with them than Mutated Humans, they're real robot whisperers (or yellers actually).

My comment on this video disappeared and now I am really sad. I am sorry if I said something wrong. I like this video series a lot.

"oh this is releasing spore clouds!" , "oh that guy is infected with mushrooms" UH OH "how bad could it be if we put more mushroom spores on us?" EVEN BIGGER UH OH

It's funny that you're in a different area from me but basically coming across all of the same problems and events I ran into. The big strong greebled egg robots, shooting your companion by accident, etc. Specifically, I meant that you released this the day after I did all of those things. Didn't run into mushrooms though.

had notifications on and youtube's stupid fucking robot didn't send me a notification??? I hate google so much. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND YOU ARE SO AWESOME

If this is the kind of fun we get from talking mushrooms, I am eager to see our hero punch more shrooms. With any luck, he'll contract mumble mouth. That there would be some real fun.

On your current "quest" and your insistence on not using the map travel, there is little chance of you dying any time soon. However, should you stray off the beaten path or even just progress further in the game, there are many ways death will come suddenly and without notice. Even the main quest in this game has notorious difficulty spikes. As for pace, you do you. This episode was thoroughly entertaining. Are you going to beat the game in any of our life times? Unlikely, but it's about the journey as they say.

Aecius itchy skin RNG goated. Yeah ur barely moving, thats fine tho. You will die, 100% no chance you live. If this is a one and done COQ series then going about your current pace is fine but you wont get past the surface , maybe you will live longer tho, its kinda RNG if you dont know enemies and areas. Live and drink, and enjoy the ride i suppose.

Love your videos. Hope you keep it up!

goddamn flying lizards killing sasse like that. Great episode i wonder what next is going to happen to Aecius

50 You only experience new things once. No need to rush

You could strive for a 50, you're currently at a 15 but it's highly entertaining. Using the autoexplore function more often will help with pacing, as it's really useful for random places you don't care to explore manually but do want to get the goods from.

Loved the episode! I think the current pace is offering up a slightly different experience of Qud than most players have, but thats certainly not a bad thing; the granularity really magnifies the feeling of every errand and hole-in-the-ground aecius stumbles upon to epic proportions in a way thats hilariously entertaining. Idk if other people have already commented on it, but it only seems fair to share the scale of the world map vs the screen; each tile of the world map (which the game calls a “parasang”) represents 9 screens in a 3x3 grid (Hence why you can be in the same tile as a ruin or town on the map, but not see it; I played a LONG time before figuring this out, lol)

I wonder if you will use cook with ingridients in later episodes. Also mushroom infection takes up an item slot.

Happy New Year, Krugg. Stunning work as always. Thanks for looking after us bearded bastards.

I don't know anything about the game but honestly I think at current pace when you reach the stills and do s quest there that is probably a good run for Aceius. You could then start out a new guy that makes more use of the map mechanics.

hey! what version of Qud you playing currently? the new overlay ui is been out for a good while now, major ui and gameplay improvements have been added more recently, and 1.0 came out some weeks ago

I'm sure I said this last episode, but that intro is incredible. This series is fantastic!!🎉

16:47 how romantic!
