Brian plays RL2 Thanatophobia 06

[@sethtriggs]

Ooof rough start there but there's a lot of nice progress. I think your pace is great. And hey accidents happen in the game. And you've beaten this game several times before, so you are good! So there!

1:09 "And it's soup, not stew. I know the names of things." Well, the talent's name is Stew, but the notification when you refill it says either +1 Soup or Maximum Soup. So... I'm not convinced the game knows the name of things. 7:09 Oh yeah, most of these "Puzzle Challenge!" rooms also say "No Jumping", huh? I totally understand why you just left, but here the no jumping just comes from how the platforms work and not the challenge so you could've jumped back up and tried again since you didn't break anything. 11:16 I think you've forgotten that the boss door refills your talent. I don't remember whether you need at least one rank of Meditation Room for that, but it definitely worked on this run. Anyway, good attempt and a good run either way. 22:08 "In short quarters, like this weapon does not hit well directly in front of you." Were you thinking about the old Mage weapon? They changed it so the projectile explodes on impact rather than at a fixed distance, which made the class easier to play, as is appropriate for the early parts of the upgrade tree. 26:36 I'm surprised you're ignoring Fairy Chests before finding the Soulsteal rune. It certainly does mean you can focus your gold on other things than Rune Weight, but with the mode removing the gold costs from buying runes and equipment, it seems like it would be worth it. 34:20 Yeah, unless you also have the relic that increases the invincibility window, War Drum, and/or lot of resolve, Rage Tincture doesn't really feel worth it. Well, unless you have the Knight's Shield, in which case the post-Shield invincibility also counts, and it's right when you've just likely made something Vulnerable. 44:16 He can't keep getting away with it. (After skipping Fairy Chests you got Soulsteal anyway) 46:17 Besides the Immortal Kotetsu's instant recharge condition, I don't think any talent in the game recharges based on kills. Pirate Ship is definitely hit-based. Would be nice if the menu said that.

Useful notes. As you can maybe tell, I did zero reading/refresher before playing this :)

[@Clyceer]

@@lorgon111 Fair enough. I doubt I'd have refreshed myself on anything if I wanted to jump back into Rogue Legacy 2. :) Although I suppose if I did now, I'm refreshed from your playthrough here.
