Big Strong Tortoise Man ¦ Caves of Qud Classic Mode (Part 1)

[@karisaparolampinen]

Man, I'm new to the game and thought I did something unique with a corrosive gas turtle man. The build felt so incredibly strong that I had to google if it was OP, and turns out it is. My build is a little bit different though, as I like to make more RP focused builds; it's a pilgrim with gas, beak, carapace, regeneration, time dilation and amphibious.

Nice! hope the run is gonig well! All of those mutations you picked are good ones, I'm not surprised you feel a little OP at the moment! Live and drink!

@@rogueratVODS it is, I'm feeling a bit invincible after breezing through bethesda susa, I'm sure the game will humble me soon enough though.

Also created the same character as yours and 1 recklessly panicked keyed corrosive gas gave me plus 3 levels in the middle of a horse mob. And almost killed the impossible enemy in the farmers mission before I bolted

[@rogueratVODS]

Yes, corrosive gas is huge! The extra 3 levels come from 'rapid advancement', which is specific to physical mutations. You get it at level 5 and then every 10 levels after I believe :)

@@rogueratVODS ooh that great to know. I need to work on my story explaining but I was level 2 after following your start in town and got lost on my way to red rock. I then had to kill 5 - 7 equinox after I panicked when a bear attacked me. I then rose 3 levels to be 5 and put it in horns to fight easier and less worrying about keeping MP in mind to level up skills

Hello, been enjoying the content and trying this build. The new beta refers to the icons and such you mentioned at 03:13:00? And not a mod correct? Sorry my mind is a bit confused after a long day and immediately commenting. Sorry for inconvenience Also some creators recommended mods. Are there any you would recommend or have tried?

[@rogueratVODS]

Hey, glad you've been enjoying! The new icons are in the 'input beta' branch that you can download on Steam. I'm using no mods at the moment. A mod that a lot of people like is called 'Clever Girl' which lets you upgrade followers are stuff. Haven't used it myself yet. New part coming out tomorrow btw :)

@@rogueratVODS Yes!!! Gonna try catching streams but my prime updates in a few days so will subscribe then

@@davidsullivan2404 Sure thing dude, no worries about subbing! Will just be nice to have some new people in chat to talk about Qud to :) I stream 5pm BST usually twitch.tv/rogue_rat_

[@davidsullivan2404]

Ooh skill tier list! Would that then have to include build variants for the skills or just skills on their own?

[@rogueratVODS]

It's just the skills on their own, more specifically the mutations you can get. I recommend checking it out for specific mutations as we go into a lot of depth for each of them

[@davidsullivan2404]

Is it a vod or KZbin video?

[@rogueratVODS]

@@davidsullivan2404 It's a VOD, but you can find it on this channel posted a few days ago. It's unedited but I've used chapter markers so you can jump between different mutations without having to sit through 4 hours of it lol

[@davidsullivan2404]

@@rogueratVODS ooh that one I watched it and have been rewatching it as well to hear more of what people think of it and I better understand how to use some of it now. I was thinking it meant short sword, shield, cooking, etc. because I understood it as this vod with strong Tortoise happened after that mutations vod and that the in run skills would then be next. So if you choose to go axe - then the 200 point skill you want before one of the earlier skills that maybe cost 150
