God, can you imagine? I'd be honored, but also horrified because I'd be obligated to use that creed for every single SnS2 run I ever do.

This just shows me how much a mod scene could greatly help replayability in Salt 😂

I KNOW. I *_really_* hope people take advantage of this mod and just make all sorts of great nonsense to play around with.

[@BigBoyWhat]

Honestly, I'm not too surprised that the potato god is all-seeing, after all, potatoes do have eyes. Seriously good video though, I'm glad you're experimenting and trying new styles. Also good choice on the music, the Furi soundtrack especially.

[@masterzoroark6664]

[@arzer114]

Not only do they HAVE eyes, they ARE eyes…. Eyes of potatoes and all that.

[@Wilhelm_Turner]

[@dtczyk8976]

Dude went through so much trauma he awakened his sharingan and was able to see the bosses move sets.

The more it slowly dwindled, the more time it passed. Each second of it. The more realizations of its challenging outcomes, the trials that now.. Ill watch. I do feel bad for myself having subscribed as you had to then do such a thing

[@TheBacklogs]

Never feel bad for supporting the channel! I do what I do because it's fun for me to test my limits. Hope you enjoy the video :)

[@MineSlimeTV]

OK I am GLAD! this guy made the mod for you. And also it's so cool seeing what he did! A fashion slot it's an actual genius idea! I wonder if you can add new places in this game and make a great overhaul. I am watching the video now! Thank you Sir!

[@MineSlimeTV]

OK. I want to buy this game, Learn how to code and wish to hopefully make something out of this. This is amazing hopefully soon maybe a great mod shall be made. Revitalize it, create something outstanding and be truly highlighted

[@roundishwhale]

Got two New Ideas for Challenge run for you Lemon: - You have to pickup and use every Item and equipment you encounter. (So you can only switch equipment if you run into another one. Shops not allowed for obvious reasons :D) - No Walking (Not sure if this one works but if anyone is crazy enough to try it, it would be you :D)

[@TheBacklogs]

Use Everything You See would be a lot of fun! As to no walking...look in my "#Shorts" playlist ;)

[@roundishwhale]

ahhh right forgot about that one^^ Fair Enough :D

[@dr_face_robber]

Great job man. I can only only imagine how agonizing and draining this run was. Looking forward to the next one. ONE SPUD TO RULE THEM ALL.

[@runecowman]

I was not expecting an excerpt from Lovecraft in a challenge run about potatoes but I suppose thats on me. I can only imagine the time and frustration you put into this. Cheers pota- erh, Lemon.

[@ghostwriter5685]

“Slowly. Gently. This Is How A Life Is Taken.” Damn that gave me fucking chills.

It is so crazy to me how fast this channel blew up and I am so happy about it, I've been watching the videos for about 3 months now and I really hope the growth stays about the same, going from 500 to over 120k in about a year is such a satisfying thing to see for channels like this

[@aretynlink3957]

Seeing that you have more than 500 times the sub threshold makes me deeply happy for you, congratulations

hey bro, congrats on the 500 subs.

[@getpiston2221]

There's no way you only had 500 subs at this point. The production quality is ridiculously high for so early on in the game. Good shit, dude

[@nbridges7321]

Holy shit! I had no idea the modding scene on S&S had gotten so expansive. I'm definitely going back and checking new mods that people have been making with Desalinated after watching this video

[@chrisholly4817]

The patience elemental in training, cool to see how fast your channel grew and way back around when you started.

[@yulter2650]

Hello there :) I rarely comment on anything and I know that you probably won't be able to see this, but I just wanted to congratulate you on this amazing run and to say how much I admire you and your willingess to push yourself to new heights. I found your channel during a stressful period of my life and your clips truly brought me lots of laughs and excitement. I love Salt and Sanctuary and at the time I started watching I had already played this game so many times. After seeing you complete a bunch of interesting challenges I got inspired and started playing again. I even started doing and completing challenge runs on my own, including a crossbows only and fists only runs. Today I've finished my most challenging run ever - Level 1, no item upgrades, no NPC spawning. Now admittedly this was the most difficult and heart-pounding challenge I've ever attempted. It went on for so long, some bosses were incredibly difficult with this setup (most notably the Tree of Men and That Stench Most Fowl), there were a few times where I thought that I didn't have what it takes to complete it. The moment I struck the final blow on The Nameless God I felt a rush like I've never experienced before. I feel like there is nothing I can't do and it was all thanks to a few clips made by a truly awesome man. Keep shining on, you incredible human being. :)

[@TheBacklogs]

Wow, thank you! It means aLOT to hear that my videos improved your day, if even for a moment, and I always love to hear that others were inspired to take on their own challenges after watching mine. That Level1 challenge of yours sounds rough, but I'll bet it felt amazing getting to the end! I hope you capture that feeling again, and remember that pushing yourself to be better is always a recipe for success. Because it always seems impossible until it is done. Thanks again for writing in :) Definitely made my day.

[@maxen3114]

Nice reference to The Color Out of Space at the end Lemon

[@Bwipy]

Hey man, I just started watching your content recently, subbed after the XCOM episode. Just wanted to say going through the backlog (ha) of your content, the glowup that you've gone through over the course of the last like 20-25 videos is honestly very impressive, and even inspiring! You should be really proud of the content that you put out nowadays and I hope that some of the content I make can have such easy to see improvements in the future

[@leonardogasbarro8767]

It is finally here! The most expected run of all time!

[@DonYagamoth]

Well, this was a wild ride. I have to admit, it's been too long since I beat the game myself, so I'm not entirely sure what was going on in the end there. But this was an excellent overview, and a seemingly rather brutal challenge - well done :)
