Small tip. Just think of the progression of what happens. You see poison slime faster than you, you choose to sneak past, it spots you and hits you, you dodge. On the other hand. See poison slime faster than you, you attack it, it hits you, you dodge, you kill it getting the souls and getting rid of it off the stage entirely. Same outcome of it hitting you just on one hand you are left way better off. Hope this helps!

[@wellmaruprepareduknowim3272]

Oh really i thought the Dodge only activated when sneaking pass an enemy

[@kreassen6930]

@@wellmaruprepareduknowim3272 Stealth is the stat that matters when sneaking past enemies, dodge is, well dodging attacks

[@BeaDSM]

Good game! But remember that if you're relying on dodge to survive then usually better to just hit them than try to stealth past when you only have like a 5% stealth chance. Especially when you have an intimidate item. Also please take the friend of frogs! Even just for the stats it would have been fine when you came across it. And frogs are friends.

[@m5giora]

Loving these spoon plays! Was so bewildered when you just left a jar at 10:50 😂

[@Furbehh]

22:51 Classic Olenki, Sacked Trophy Amulet instead of Feed when Feed was unusable in your build (and same rarity), only to immediately replace Feed on the next chest. Can't stop watching the Ring of Pain content, keep it coming!

[@j.n.-fr5uh]

dont need defense if u never get hit tyler youre the visionary

[@joao_5003]

Yeeess, more of the spoon content, make de spoon a +10 to everything just by meta progression

[@princequincy5421]

Who's gonna tell joa cause I might hurt his feelings

[@reallyminoryo]

to be fair, the diamond spoon does have a +11 in Health (and -6 in both Attack and Defense, which is absolutely terrible)

[@joao_5003]

@@princequincy5421tbh, I don’t know anything about the game, all that I know is from this channel that I use to watch while I do my studies… Collage don’t give me much time to waste hahaha

[@tachyonphantom8506]

"Is there something want destroyed for stats?" *mouses over glass shield a PURE STAT ITEM* "I'll be real... I don't really think so..."

[@OlexaYT]

Glass shield isn’t exactly an item you want to destroy and get its stats though. Half of the stats are negative

[@jabz1582]

But you were doing a negative defense build? And it gives negative defense for higher damage..?

[@themastamanhd4861]

My favorite series you have ever done! I know it won’t remain a staple of the channel, but I hope its a game we get many more episodes of and that you give love to in the future as you move on. Thanks a lot for all the awesome content

[@ConnorSinclairCavin]

There are items that make dodge and stealth become uncapped, for example the grey item that gives stealth for empty slots is an easy one to get.

[@AmaiarAiramand]

Little tip: Curse and Soul damage can't kill by themselves. At most the leave creatures (or you) at 1 health

[@Firephantom414]

The knockback to let the scrounger leave XD

[@BlazedBeat]

at 15:00 you actually get healed when upgrading your health

[@shirkit]

That 80% chance lasted you a LONG time hahahaha

[@bbittercoffee]

Unlucky I guess Can't even be mad (except that you kept glass shield for so long when you could've soul-crafted it)

[@Zenith_Guard]

_*insert mildly insulting, heavily backseating comment here_ All jokes aside, I love watching this game. Keep up the good content my guy.

[@Xexelli]

Thank you for facing the horde of commentators and their disrespect. The fans with faith in their hearts love will be here for you Tyler of the House of TLDR.

[@mrstatue.a3087]

I think parting gift (the other golden glove he was offered) would have been really interesting for his build this run. He had guaranteed stealth with his spell gem, and later he just so happened to get another guaranteed stealth item. Would have been fun to see big boom. Also befriend frog. Please, I want to know what happens with a frog build.

[@olfrud]

you can make the tiara work with the backpack…but you need a lot of money for rerolls. I prefer the underpants though

[@portalmasterlp453]

My personal favourite early build around tiara is poltergeist. Especially if you can get the boots, that give +1 to each stat boost

[@Otoshis]

@@portalmasterlp453 I mean... Premium Onion Suit with no damage on your attacks and just killing the whole board while attacking one enemy with high health. Especially that you can't freeze bosses, so Poltergeist won't help you much against them unless you can survive their attacks somehow. I know you said early build, but honestly, early all you need is speed and potentially stealth chance if you can't have enough speed. So if I were to choose early item, it would be Misting Vessel. Especially that it is a shield that can be later replaced with let's say Bolster or Toxins. Gems are still great for hermit's tiara, especially if you can later get a book that gives you stats from destroying gems, but it won't work on the poltergeist anyway. And when you can't outspeed your enemy, stealth is more useful, because if you decide to fight it anyway, you take only first hit and then freeze stays, so with poltergeist potentially you could also take just one hit and then kill the target with damage, but in a case you need to run, it won't help you like stealth does. But of course Poltergeist is still solid item.

[@555Soupy555]

Loving these runs!

[@jeezuhskriste5759]

14:45 I understand the logic here but you trade a 85% chance to live for a 75% chance to live

[@Otoshis]

Some NEWS: New update to Ring of Pain went out of beta today and is available as standard for everyone(that owns the game) now on all platforms.

[@Quasi-Real]

I believe there is an item that makes it so you can have a 100% stealth chance, just unfortunately you didn't get it this run

[@saleah4368]

Theres a joke in here about spooning the owl, im not willing to make it but im sure someone finds that thing hot enough to do it for me

[@ztronathon]

Mr. Olexa you were popping off

[@luci3957]

tyler taught everyone why negative defense is bad and useless

[@wellmaruprepareduknowim3272]

This was a noce run Olexa real fun hahaha

[@cirecrux]

I live for the spoon

[@steliee]

really fun build ngl

[@ConnorSinclairCavin]

You really need to read the Full description of the items you get, the scroll you used to destroy an equipped item lets you keep the stats as well as get half the value. Its basically a free wishful effect

[@OlexaYT]

Yeah I’m aware, we had nothing worth removing with it

[@ConnorSinclairCavin]

@@OlexaYT okay, fair enough, it would have actually kept the dodge chance from the shield that you wanted, and you seemed to think you would lose the stats from what you were saying, so i figured id mention it.

[@OlexaYT]

Dodge isn’t a primary stat so you would not gain that as a permanent stat

[@OlexaYT]

That’s at least how it works in wishful, so if that’s the case for the scroll then that’s poor wording from the game

[@ConnorSinclairCavin]

@@OlexaYT any stats that are in a hex on the side get saved, its rare to have it as a primary, but a Few items do. Secondary stats are the things in the “flavor text” box so to say. Or at least, as of my run a week ago, i was able to stack up crit that way

[@Thelgaar]

Is there a reason to take cursed potions when you are already at full health and have no curse synergy?

[@Otoshis]

Yes in this scenario, as he had a mask that gave him max health for drinking potions at full health.

[@chillociraptor3700]
