8000 DAMAGE CRITS - Brotato Glutton Danger 5 Guide

[@Ghostrider6383]

Dude, your videos are amazing. Got into brotato when it came to game pass. Really enjoying it. Your videos have helped me improve and they’re really good to watch. Keep up the good work pal 👍🏻

[@OzmandisMandis]

You could have locked the coupon in the beginning, the first 2 shops always have 2 weapons and 2 passive items so you don't lose a chance to roll a pruner.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

You're right! I do that in almost every other guide, to the point where I had forgotten it was *exactly* two weapons in the first 2 shops, not a *minimum* of two. Oops!

[@stephenwhiting6475]

Just got a D0 win with Glutton having watched your guide! Didn't get as lucky with explosion size as you did but had a lot of fun

[@DatShadyGuy]

Always fun to watch everything blow up.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

BOOM

[@MadsFeierskov]

First time beating the game with Glutton just now. Best build I've ever had by far. Was lucky enough to get a nuclear launcher and three rocket launchers, so they were doing something like 150k damage pr. round at the end with 1k+ explosion damage. Got to level 36 before I was one-shot through my two tardigrades.

[@noelgalanleon2568]

I have to thank you man, I was trying this run with the wooden melee thing and it was taking me so many hours, but with this strategy i reached stage 20 first try and got it at the 2nd try

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Nice, congrats!

[@threespam333]

@Cephalopocalypse wiki says silver bullet is multiplicative (which I think checks out when you have so much % damage, there's no way your boss damage would be so much higher than normal enemy damage unless it was multiplicative). Nice video and congrats on the monster character by the end, that was a fun one.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

That would certainly be a lot better! Thanks so much! :D

[@Zxv975]

I'd definitely want to see modded character the most. I see myself basically just following in your footsteps and trying out whatever modded char you put out a guide on

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Appreciate you letting me know! One worry I have is that modded characters won't draw in the same views, so knowing there's people that want to see them helps a lot

[@GorNaKat]

That Retri's Hoody boosted the run from Good to Crazy with those 9 sec fruits Praise be to the almighty Algorithm!

[@AncientExplorationCanada]

Super cool run, I been having a hard time with this character, but also haven't won with artificer. going to check out that video next!

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Awesome, glad you liked it! :D

[@vpr5555]

Missed opportunity to use that Austin Powers character as the thumbnail! This was a satisfying build to watch, all my Glutton runs have always been a struggle so it was nice to see this come together so well.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Haha true! I considered a couple movie scenes but most of the jokes I was thinking of were in pretty bad taste or have not aged well since the 90s lol

[@ChoppahFace]

id love to know what other roguelikes you really like, maybe a tier list of some sort

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Great idea! I've been meaning to do some kind of "games you should try" video

[@michaelfatner9424]

Glutton’s explosive properties combined with finding a mini gun is insane. Just finished my first ever run with glutton! 👍

[@cnak1120]

Really love your neat and clean guide!

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks so much! :D

[@clearwateraquariumCA]

Wouldn't pumping luck have really helped. More luck = more fruit?

[@SullySadface]

I like shorts. They're comfy, and easy to wear.

[@Swaps0296]

Go ahead and send out your wurmple already

[@libertylionofficial]

Hey , would love to see a challenge run with 182% difficulty. Where you max out the enemy game settings . it seems quite difficult :)

[@Cephalopocalypse]

It is! I know only a few people have recorded wins on it - I'll definitely be giving it a go but no promises on winning :P

[@benjaminlehmann]

That was so much fun! Thanks

[@Hellios92]

That was a fun one! :)

[@xNEWxGODxFLOxx]

I just ran through this build thanks bro🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kraska_gopro]

I struggled a lot without a guide. I started with lute to maximize luck but was dying at wave 10-11 or so, then picked up planks. But yes, prunes are the way to go haha. I ultimately did D5 with nuclear launchers x2.

[@jhhwild]

I'm finding this game very difficult, I can barely get past difficulty 0.

[@jaksi156]

Sometimes the YT shorts come in handy while just scrolling through and coming across a great tip. Fyi

[@deathalizer82]

Silver Bullet is a separate multiplier not additive damage increase as was stated in the video.

[@valentazz]

@Cephalopocalypse spicy sauce adds to your glutton pick up damage.

[@tomnizzer5403]

did your guid while playing. first try thank you for the tips

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Awesome, thanks and congrats on the win! :D

[@minhhapham1887]

is there a Brotato mod you like?

[@Cephalopocalypse]

I haven't tried any mods yet since I've been doing these guides, so let me know your favorites if you have them!

[@minhhapham1887]

@@Cephalopocalypse my favourite mod is the Extonian mod

[@bretdecelle3717]

Well rounded please what are you waiting for!!!! 😂

[@Cephalopocalypse]

I was debating just never doing it and then telling people it was coming soon but giving me a lot of trouble every time someone asked

[@narex45635]

Would you consider doing some 'worst case scenario' guides for the purpose of randomized weapon runs on challenging classes? e.g. take a tough class like streamer and pick the worst starting weapon as if you random rolled it and see if you can beat that. Might make for an interesting challenge run series.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

You're in luck! Worst weapons for every class is something I've been planning to do :)

[@narex45635]

@@Cephalopocalypse Yay!

[@marcespinoza6068]

Watching this character build reminds me of Spider-Man in his Iron Spider suit in Endgame.

[@danieldakkak5976]

I liked how you obliterated that elite. And... It's gone.

[@piqaren]

Good stuff my guy

[@INFINITY_99]

Great stuff 🔥

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks so much! :D

[@dukelornek]

you made this look easy, I had such a hard time with him using the pruners, even though I got it with the gun I am going to try again with pruners.

[@dukelornek]

yep did it with starting pruners but I ended up with nuke and a bazooka along the ride. I think the difference was the shop discipline.

[@dukelornek]

final note I had fairy, though this time I don't think it was absolutely necessary for me winning but it helped A LOT.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

This character is super hard to get consistent imo, it's either feast or famine

[@williamkenny9515]

Love your vids

[@AlaskaFG]

So it looks like Spicy Sauce didn't proc at all? Whenever you hovered over it or it showed back up in the shop the tool tip showed 0 damage done. So not worth it?

[@Cephalopocalypse]

How it works on later testing is it adds 25% to the damage of the glutton explosion, but won't show up in the stats page. You can see the wave I pick it up, my damage goes from ~200 to ~300, so it's actually incredible for glutton. Which is good, it would be really disappointing otherwise!

[@AlaskaFG]

@@Cephalopocalypse 25% due to your HP at the time? or is that an inherent trait just for Glutton with that item?

[@danthem9210]

just got my first danger 5 win on the glutton earlier today (before seeing this video unfortunately!) Interested to see if my intuitions about how to play were correct.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Nice, congrats! Let me know if it matched up to your win or not :)

[@danthem9210]

@@Cephalopocalypse One thing which I didn't realize was that melee damage is so important due to the passive scaling so well with it. I think I just forgot about that aspect of the character. I played actual rounds a bit differently, camping near my gardens and slowly walking into the consumables as I got overwhelmed. I think that with better dodging your strategy in waves is better. I also got lucky with an early-ish explosion size upgrade, which seemed so important and I'm glad that was confirmed by you.

[@teschnermax]

Bro i cant do the Ranger. I tried so many times, so many weapons and combos. I just cant do it. No idea what to do anymore :(

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Have you checked out my guide to the Ranger? It went up just a few days ago :)

[@teschnermax]

@@CephalopocalypseDayum i seem to have missed that one! Wil watch it right now 😛 thanks

[@baplo1331]

I wonder is improve tool make the garden faster

[@deathalizer82]

You probably have your answer by now but, yes it makes gardens faster, from Pruners and the shop item you can buy.

[@Oliver-OCR]

GREAT WORK

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks! :D

[@danielwelch9752]

I don’t even know if you’re still checking these comments but you should do a play thru of the Tactics Advanced series from Final Fantasy. Incredible games, tons of strategy that feels like brotato and BG3

[@SHINSEIYA]

Did you play loop hero?

[@Cephalopocalypse]

I did! I really liked it

[@cqstle-]

Tough character for me but like most support characters, building Dodge early should help tons. Now, if only I can roll Dodge. You said it though; this character is very dependant on what you get. Thanks for the guide. (Castle was taken so I got creative ;)

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Yeah, finding the right mix of defensive stats for this one is hard - I have found the best way is to just go all in on damage early and rely on the consumables to keep you alive. Cheers! :D

[@bananatod8134]

Love this

[@Lordosvk]

Whats the best character or how ro get 3000 points. To open next character? Or all achievements. Thank you so much

[@LloydTheZephyrian]

The way I got 3000 materials was to do a Danger 0 run with Loud and used 4 Spectral Axes and 2 Spectral Scepters and focusing mostly on Harvesting.

[@brandonkruse6412]

Probably Loud with thief daggers and look for a piggy bank.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

These replies are probably the easiest way! I honestly forget what I did it on, I may have just gotten a powerful build on danger 0 and then stopped spending for several waves

[@Erlewyn]

I like this character, but I couldn't get past wave 10 or so. Had to settle for danger 2.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

This one is really hard just because it's so weird imo. I found a consistent build quite difficult to make!

[@bamsemats]

Haven’t finished the video yet, but afaik spicy sauce doesn’t work at all… Also, regarding the pruners’ consumable spawn rate; they spawn a fruit as they spawn, so lvl 3 pruners will give you 5 in 60s (approx spawn at 3, 15, 27, 39 and 51s).

[@beastofbones]

According to Aros's character guide, Spicy Sauce explosive damage gets added to Glutton's natural explosion. Haven't actually tested myself, but sounds reasonable.

[@bamsemats]

@@beastofbones If it does, it doesnt show up on the item itself (you can see in the video for example, when he purchases the second one, it has done 0 damage over a couple of waves).

[@Cephalopocalypse]

You're absolutely right, I was off by one! The right numbers should be 4 for level 1, 5 for level 2 and 3, 6 for level 4 (still no upgrade from 2 to 3, but 1 more per level overall). Great catch!

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Also I think the spicy sauce damage was getting added - there were a couple times I noticed the explosion was doing higher damage than the character tooltip listed it should. That would make sense since that's also how scared sausage works with flamethrowers and so on

[@bamsemats]

@@Cephalopocalypse I tested this now, and the damage does get added to the character passive. It does not show in numbers (on item nor character), but when character dmg says 340 (for example) I notice they started doing like 450+ instead. My apologies!

[@cheesecakenl1980]

Great video guide 3...2... and elite is gone!

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks! This one was a blast (get it)

[@flubbledubster8767]

You talked bout percentile dmg at the optimum time as i was in the middle of googling it 😊

[@thomascoupland4539]

Do well rounded next plz

[@heroicgoo915]

Mmmm, first run that a Rocket Launcher landed, i got my D5 clear

[@SHINSEIYA]

Merci , very usefull video thx

[@pickleyama3046]

would love to see well rounded

[@Cephalopocalypse]

I don't know if I'll be able to make a good guide though, it's so hard to consistently win with that character!

[@underrated_tanker-iq8uh]

always hated this character but after watching this video i realised i was playing him wrong and now i think hes decent

[@ConneRRylanD]

Brotato! :)

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Brotato!

[@kingofmayo3223]

Lmfao the elite got one tapped😭😭

[@Fleklixxx]

Actually I know shorts on a non shorts oriented channel kills your normal videos (I'm not 100% sure about this)

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Yeah - it seems kind of complicated. What I've heard is that you get new subscribers, but then they aren't interested in watching long videos, so when youtube shows them to those subs and they don't watch, the algorithm concludes that your stuff isn't interesting and stops recommending it. But I've also heard of people getting tons of new regular viewers. I imagine it's down to luck and also what kind of videos you make, some probably work better with shorts than others.

[@baitlife5335]

War beste digger❤

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Danke! Google translate failed me on this comment I'm afraid but it looks friendly to me so thanks :D

[@charsiuwu8084]

Nothing locks in the algorithmic juice like deleting an elite like that. Seared on both sides to get that good flavour.

[@j.gaksoy]

Do shorts it is support your subs

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Yeah, I've heard it's a good way to get more subs, but also that if those subs then don't want to watch long videos, it can make youtube think your long videos aren't interesting and stop recommending them. It seems kind of complex whether they're good for your channel or not!

[@danleca2120]

bro u always say things wrong i dunno what s up with your videos. everytime u pick "armor" you take "max hp" and all kinds of mistakes that happen all the time. something 's fishy
