Now I am the Legend!

@Leapalot Explicitly didn't call me out to beat his catching the Legend on day 5 record, so I took up the (non)challenge
Try it yourself!
Seed: 658457602
FAQ:
Q: Can you do this earlier?
A: You cannot do this on an earlier day, as day 2 will never rain (even if you get your hands on a rain totem somehow). You could do it earlier in the day if you get the xp faster.
Q: Why didn't you go for the Cork Bobber?
A: At the point where I am leaving the beach I don't have fishing level 7, so I can't buy it.
Q: Couldn't you have bought the iridium rod as soon as Willy opened on day 3?
A: Yes, but I didn't want to leave my bubbles.
Q: I love your cat!
A: Not a question, but me too!

Awesome job, Anyone not named BlaDe! I didn't realize you changed your name! 😅

He started the video the same way he ended it: by asserting dominance.

The craziest thing is he did this all with a cat on his arm.

[@nyaarla]

The cat was the one giving BlaDe fishing tips.

[@L3g3ndairy]

The cat probably is also interested in fish

for blade its not about setting records, its about sending a message

[@bloop6580]

Personally, I think that this is a ratatouille situation, and Gordon is the mastermind behind it all

[@mitnehmerrippe]

Love how you obliterated yet another challenge (despite being told off in advance). Also love how Gordon obliterated that ring light (despite being told off in advance). A wizard and his familiar, so to say.

[@actualtrash3912]

The "Assert Dominance" gets me everytime

[@natalie022]

“Anyone not named Blade” Blade: YOU DARE CHALLENGE ME?!

[@jpearce956]

I love how you go through all the options and explain why they don't work. You make such great videos.

[@dumfu]

And i was proud of catching a catfish on day 3.. 😭

[@mrrawcursededitor]

If it makes you feel better I only did it on day 3…of year 2

[@lemolea9571]

That's still impressive! People forget these streamers are on another level to regular players with ridiculous hours in the game. I'm sure you'd be a lot better at stardew if it was literally your job!

[@LoveeeJonesss]

And you should be

[@AeyakS]

If you're not doing a seeded run, then there's no reason not to be proud of that. He's using a ton of crazy strats that only work with bubbles and fishing buffs, which not every run will have.

[@Jaybug58]

Definitely be! Not everyone's a pro at the fishing mini game. It probably took me ~500 hours or so to be able to consistently catch them day 3, so...

[@chelmicorner8066]

Poor Leapalot! His record was broken so quickly. 💔

[@cecilofthesea]

oh yeah blade, well i caught the legend on spring... 20th.... year 2..... all jokes aside, this was incredibly impressive. fantastic work as always

[@sunfloweroil1251]

YEAR 2??? i caught mine near the end of year 3 💀💀

[@Felix-on9dr]

Spring year 4 for me

[@theoriginaloaktree]

I caught mine on the new 1.6 save on Spring 10 Year 2 on my first try 😂 it's really not a hard fish. None of the legendary fish are that hard. I caught the glacier fish first try as well. Heck, if you've seen my Shorts, I caught it on Day 27 of Spring Year 1. Also first try there.

[@slwrabbits]

​@@theoriginaloaktreeyou're just not as bad at fishing as I am ...

[@cravonomire9971]

Your videos are a win win I get to learn stuff about Stardew valley and your voice is nice to listen to

[@goopi_eh]

Also get to see Gordon!

[@glorwentheelf3381]

At this point, BlaDe shouldn't be the one hearing boss music when he hooks the Legend

[@demoige7948]

It's great how you make it an entertaining educational video instead of a showing-off. And I'm here for the Gordon-content. I wish him an even longer healthy life on your lap. He seems so happy and peaceful

[@ctnc6059]

The asserting dominance at the end was definitely showing off. :P

[@HelenShinonome]

The way that the music fits so perfectly here 23:05 makes me so happy, BlaDe face of acceptance of the light getting knocked over is pure gold

[@I.No.]

I have a challenge for you: What’s the soonest date you can get all 7 Stardrops by? Hypothetically the soonest would be Fall 14, the day of the Fair. (I think that’s date anyway) Other than that, floor 100 of the mines would be easy, same with marriage, buying one from Krobus should be pretty easy as well, you’ll need to complete the museum anyway, which is one of the harder ones. Then there is Master Angler, which requires you to get to Ginger Island, going the Joja route would make it possible in time, then from Ginger Island, you can get Magic Bait to catch all the winter fish with. (I think legendary fish can be caught with Magic Bait?) You would also be able to get Deluxe Speed-Gro, which should enable you to grow the Sweet Gem Berry in time. (Maybe? Not sure of the exact grow time) So I think it’s all theoretically possible, but I’d love to see you do it.

[@strengthman600]

You could grow sweet gem berries in the greenhouse (edit: or just get a seed with a fairy), so with DSG definitely it can be done before the first fair Honestly, this is altogether pretty viable? The hardest part would probably be the master angler just because you’d need to get the magic bait, but it is definitely doable by someone like BlaDe

[@liletakonfeta]

In order to meet Qi at floor 100 you previously need to obtaine the corresponding note that can be accessed via magnifying glass, so at least winter 1

[@I.No.]

@@liletakonfeta You get the star drop on floor 100 of the regular mines, not SC.

[@liletakonfeta]

These are my favourite Blade videos, he sees someone do something pretty impressive and goes 'I can be a massive degenerate about this'.

I lost my precious kitty just a few days ago. She was about 18 years old and I had her from when I was 5 years old. Make sure to give your kitty lots of love and treats if that's what he likes ❤

"Anyone not named BlaDe"

[@gb1reinwald]

That was amazing! I am happy that I am not the only one being trolled by fish. Tried to switch from the fish to catching the treasure when the bar was almost full. Right then the fish decided to take the same route in the same speed. Of course there was not enough time to catch that treasure. Also caught a fish and the treasure chest shortly before 2 a.m., got the fish into the inventory, fainted and don't know to this day what was in the treasure chest because obviously the game ticks once before opening the treasure!

[@acousticeel9695]

The Journey of the Prairie King music is my favorite running gag in these recent videos

[@tubagal13]

I just caught the legend on spring 28, year FOUR. beat that. 😉 In all seriousness, though, watching you demonstrate how to catch the Legend on your channel helped me overcome my fishing fear so i could finally do it myself. So thank you!!

These videos are so calming to me! I often fall asleep while watching them Bonus points for always getting to see a cute cat

[@ishanchegu]

Hope people stop griefing fishing after this. This is a mammoth amount of money. I always fish in spring year 1. Only thing higher in priority is mining. And once you have level 120, i mostly fish. Towards the end I do mine for sprinklers but fishing is what propels me to big returns in year 1. Fishing is best done before spring 13 if anyone is asking. All the money turns into strawberries. And yes Blade, this was awesome =)

[@nifegun]

I haven't watched much blade content before, but the fact that his whole chat just chills as they all watch his cat decide what to do next even though he's on a challenge run is hilarious. Great Job with the legend BTW. Although technically, that's a day 4 legend. If you're going to call it day 3, it should be before 12:00 haha

[@babynoodle42]

I love these videos, I especially love the Gordon cam on most of the videos. I learn soo much as well. I have over 1000 hours in SDV but I still have much to learn.

I haven't been forcing it myself, but others have. I added a card in the video linking to Terpretor's run where she did that.

[@Faloola_Festoon]

It's no coincidence that Gordon is present for a fishing challenge. He's obviously BlaDe's Spirit Guide! Leap is a dog guy, so he'll never beat BlaDe. 😁 But seriously I love both you guys, and esp. when you and the rest of the group of SDV gamers play together...Matt McCleskey, SeanieDew, Therm, The Haboo, Brandigan, CharlieBarley, UnsurpassableZ, etc., and I'm not forgetting Mrs. BlaDe and the other partners! Unbelievable skill, wonderful humor, excellent camaraderie. Thank you, "The Legend"! (And congrats!)

[@pelahnar4]

And I was so proud of myself for catching the Legend Year 1 _at all_, while doing a challenge that was basically nothing but fishing. That was, like, Spring 25. *sigh* (jk, this is great. I would not have the patience to do this)

[@SadMarinersFan]

I saw a video saying that you couldn't complete the community center without ever leveling up (collecting XP was fine) because the farming XP leveled up with quality crops. I was wondering if there might me a way for you to tackle this to complete the community center without a single level up.

Haboo has done a similar challenge, and was editing a video for it. Go hound him to release it (Like I have been doing)

[@krisiverse]

Just spitballing here - I wonder if you could push the time you catch on day 3 even earlier by playing day 1 in multiplayer, having the other players also grinding money? I don't know if level 9 foraging is remotely feasible to accomplish in one day, but maybe there's some really insane seed with tons of forage spawns that makes it possible. I don't think continuing into day 2 for the foraging grind would offset the time loss for time not stopping while fishing, however time DOES stop even in multiplayer if the host is the only one online, so maybe you could use that to your advantage...

[@BlaDeSDV]

Money was no problem this run. I didn't even clay farm the entire day. The big obstacle is just fishing xp. You could pump money into crab pots on day 2 to harvest on day 3, but that is 1500g for 3xp.

[@WorstedCorgi90]

I have a challenge: try to catch all the legendary fish in spring year one using magic bait.

[@BlaDeSDV]

Hmm, completing the fishing collection as early as possible would be a good challenge

[@samwright7351]

Listening to blade is like listening to a computer talk

[@doodman6870]

[@joethegreat7242]

[@Dragon51220]

BlaDe, I thought you were already a legend?

[@jplayzow]

so now the only way to get it earlier is to speedrun even harder and get a better day 3

[@BlaDeSDV]

Yep. Could also get more xp day 2 to help

[@Grim712]

And I was happy catching The Legend on Spring 28 year 1 😅
