3:00 So, I wrote a little bit more of an explanation, but the TLDR is that you are generally going west throughout the game. After checking some maps online I can confirm that you do travel westward for most of the game. In the Wilderness/Nautiloid crash region map in Act 1 you can make your way west towards the mountain pass which brings you to Moon Rise in Act 2. Once you're at Moon Rise and do everything there you go past the House of Healing (which is westward) towards Act 3. Once you get to Rivington you have to go north to get to Baldur's Gate, but once you do get into the city you start on the east side and make your way west towards any thing you want to do in the city. Technically you're more or less going northwest throughout a playthrough of the game but that's still going west as opposed to going in any other direction.

BG3 was just journey to the west the whole time

[@alicelufenia3648]

*when a lot of people write for a character and it all gets treated as canon* that's folklore babeeeeey

[@Devlerbat]

Sun Wukong didn't jump out of Buddha's hand. He jumped to the edge of the universe, but that was still in Buddha's hand. Losing that bet was how he got trapped under the mountain. And being freed from that was how he got drafted into the Journey to the West.

[@HoboZone]

But then he eventually tried again, and was able to jump out of Buddha's hand and achieved Nirvana.

[@Devlerbat]

@@HoboZone Was that after the Journey to the West?

[@HoboZone]

@@Devlerbat It was the conclusion. He returned to Buddha and took his bet again, this time succeeding. Basically his reward for completing the journey.

I loved Monkey, aka Monkey Magic, as a kid, so whilst younger folks may think of Sun Wukong as Son Goku, for me he's the original Monkey from the 1978 TV series :)

[@SeanConneZombie]

Love to see a monk build using a quarterstaff! I know that unarmed one of the unique things about monk, but so is quarterstaff, and it's over looked a lot. Also love the use of land druid. I don't think it gets enough spotlight with multiclassing.

[@Thanosdidnothingwrong.]

3:25 🤣 im wheezing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JesseSmith-jd1yu]

I LOVE THIS!!! Thank you for making this build my man, It really made my week. This will definitely will be the next build I play. Keep up the great work, I wish you the best of luck.

[@harley3211]

Yessss haha I was hoping you'd upload before my shift 🎉

[@anthonyvlahacos6208]

Love your builds so much fun to watch the uniqueness of each one! I would love to see a Tempest cleric/Monk build!

[@illiaJ5622]

14:01 let him cook

[@iq0234]

Could you make a Goblin Slayer build?

[@dragonheart1695]

I think you can get gloves of giant strength, it sets strength to 25 so you won't need to use giant elixirs after you get it

[@dragonheart1695]

Oh and you get a headband that's sets intelligent to 17 in act 1, you just need to loot it from an ogre called lump

[@benjathin]

9th Lotus Prince when? Nezha my boy!

[@alejandrocardenas9032]

Is that the second opening from dragonball z in te background? :0

[@HoboZone]

yup

[@zimattack9994]

Si when do we teach a dinosaur to ride a ball I miss toriyama dam now im sad

[@aslo7365]

fire as always

[@JohnnyMalkav]

Son Wukong is smart, true... Son Goku? Not so much...

[@The5armdamput33]

As I'm watching the newest season of The Boys, I'm wondering what you would do with The Boys inspired builds.... - particularly the protagonists....

[@HoboZone]

I've not watched Season 4 yet, but I wouldn't mind giving this a try. As long as I'm allowed to use the temp V buffs for the protags as that's much easier to build with.

[@The5armdamput33]

@@HoboZone Maybe wait until season four is over and you've watched it.... It might be worth the wait.... no spoilers....

[@thornelson1411]

I feel like another staff that works is the one with thunderous smite

[@SlinkyJ]

Monkey king Jesus build

[@jessedocksey7479]

Well this build be immortal times a thousand?

[@ThatReplyGuy]

He looks like Bo Burnham.

[@arkuspendragon]

[@czechmeoutbabe1997]

Your name is Hobozone but I don’t think you’ve ever done a Hobo, or a MurderHobo in DnD terms. I think you could take it in a couple directions - drunk, or thieving or mischievous, or clairvoyant like in Disco Elysium (btw I don't mean any of this to be disrespectful to the actual needy or without homes, I just thought it could be a neat idea given the way it's used in DnD)
