5:41 You are selling fine wares and a cheese approaches you and it does not say anything for it is cheese. It lightly bumps against something drawing your attention and as you offer it the item it leaves gold. You now proceed to sell it things through this complex semaphore. The cheese leaves very happy, or at least you think so, for it is cheese and you can’t tell.

Right? Part of me was wondering if it has code that recognizes polymorphing, so it just auto fills whatever you polymorph into, like cheese, since polymorph cheese is in the code

There is an item in the mindflayer colony that makes every creature in an area around it vulnerable to psyhic damage. Since you already have 1 HP total, you still die to anything regardless, so it's only effect is a straight damage boost to your manifestation of mind monk damage.

the cheese wheels look so majestic in cutscenes. this is why in-engine cutscenes are the best by far

[@PommesPeterZK]

What I appreciate most about you and these videos, is how you're being completely honest with us about what went down and the limitations of these runs. From showing that you died once in the 0 AC run, to now having to revert back to normal form a few times simply to progress, dying a lot at certain encounters and essentially just reloading until you got lucky, and plenty of more instances. So many creators would just lie about this or not show it at all but it adds a layer of honesty and makes it very easy to just look past little things like what happened in this cheesethrough and just appreciate the effort that goes into this.

oh no, he's doing it again these cutscenes with the cheese, I'm dying beat the game while a cheese 99% of the time? I'll allow it

Yeah. He removed certain curses because it would cause him to get stunlocked forever on hit. But seeing as Bouch literally beat the game with 1Hp multiple times, I don't think he minds.

[@nuclearjasper9523]

Instead of the challenges having to be hard, I think a lot of us also enjoy seeing weird dialogue, or scenarios we'd never end up in ourselves. Following that, how about a playthrough with an RNG Alignment element? Each Rest/Interaction/Arbitrary play time number, your alignment shifts and as a result you have to make choices based on it? One moment you're saving the grove, the next you're dark-urge incarnate, murdering and pillaging everything. Just an idea ^^

[@dominicnatale178]

Challenge Run Idea Step 1: Start at level 12, with the exact amount of xp needed to reach it, and make it so that companions will start with the same xp as you when they join the party. Step 2: Make it so that when you or a companion loses hp/would normally gain xp, all characters lose that much xp, causing levels to be lost, and also when they die a whole level is lost (relevel on losing one). Step 3: ????? Step 4: Profit.

[@heartoffire5902]

I'm impressed by your determination to complete this challenge with all the limitations set by the polymorph feature you were using. If you ever want a less painful way to play with the concept, you could make a new cheese race (or subrace) so you wouldn't have to polymorph at all. This way you'd be able to talk with people and interact with objects like a normal character. Alternatively you could make some new character stat entries for a separate cheese form and refer the polymorph object setting to that new entry. Then you could give yourself more HP and better Attributes. You'd still be limited by polymorph restrictions regarding talking to NPCs and so on though.
