truely awesome video, is there similar quest to escape Siptah, would love to see you do this on that Isle of No Return.

A camel would be useful as a mount and bearer.

[@TheStonePilot722]

No way! A 40+ minute video...let's go!!!!

[@Eradicati0nn]

Too right, it's about as short as I could get it 😂 This video took up about 110gb of footage

Being one who enjoys long content, this one is great!!​@Eradicati0nn

[@Loreweavver]

I haven't read every Conan story but I'm pretty sure the one thing he never did in all his days was build a house and decorate it.

[@nostrius-t1z]

The only part that's actually good about survival games lol.

[@Loreweavver]

@nostrius-t1z i didn't mean anything by it either way, really. LoL I like Conan and I like survival games. I just missed the book where Conan builds a farm. LoL

[@Mister_Peppers]

In the very first Conan story, he lives in a castle. The Cimmerians homeland was conquered and his people pushed far out, but he was always destined to one day live in that castle. In several of the comic book stories he kinda just decides he's going to loaf around to drink and party until the locals get sick of him and try to kick him out. He isn't an adventure seeker, he's an adventure finder.

[@nostrius-t1z]

@@Loreweavver For some reason I don't see him enslaving people on a wheel of pain either, that would seem really dark considering lol. You don't play Conan though, you're a random in the exiled lands.

[@Loreweavver]

@nostrius-t1z I've recently picked it up. I'm whatever a beach bob is in this game at the moment. Conan would keep slaves (depending on the context) but I don't know if he would do the torture and breaking himself.

[@Severienne]

Oh man, if I knew Eradication would be showing up on my server, I'd have every building in tip top shape ;D Good playing!

[@Eradicati0nn]

There were a lot of great buildings on the server!

[@sesimie]

As an OG Nomadic player...I watch this with much interest! Welcome to real survival!

[@udunaixx6444]

I played CE without building/harvesting or making anything, all I needed I must to find or loot from human or other corpses.

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thanks Sesimie! Definitely a challenging run for someone not so experienced with regular PvE, but I might have to take on another challenge in the future 👀

[@sesimie]

@@Eradicati0nn So I have a ruleset called the Barbaric Nomadic Permadeath Challenge I'd love you to try if you feeling able. No crafting except handcrafts, one life including for thralls and you can complete it in 2 hours.

[@GrannyGamester]

Well done and you were so true to yourself by not building. Great to watch! Thank you ❤

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thank you GrannyGamester, glad you enjoyed it!

[@MadPirateShin]

Nomadic challenges are tons of fun, they truly test your game knowledge! I prefer to limit myself to handcrafts, building a base out of bedroll, looted tents, and campfire.

[@MJWPub]

No building? By Crom - how will you subdue your enemies without impressing them with multi-level, two tone facade, contrasting style, modernist paradigm castle complexes?

[@Eradicati0nn]

This comment made me laugh way more than it should have 😂

[@MJWPub]

@@Eradicati0nn 🤣 👍

[@nistee-ho2tm]

What a Idea! Specially for you....nice, thank you!

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thanks Nistee! Definitely outside of my normal wheelhouse but I really enjoyed making this video

[@OberonFirestorm]

I really hope the guy who used your EBA blacksmith build watches this video! Also, I never thought I'd see a video like this from you, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

[@Eradicati0nn]

Hopefully he does! I did spot him but he was AFK, and I was already about 4 hours into my play session so wanted to keep moving north 😂 It's not something I expected to do, it's an idea I got on a whim a while ago and just needed to time to actually get it done. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Zelosykes]

Sweet adventure! That glitched Undead Dragon was a real blessing. I had a similar experience with it when I tried to speedrun Conan. Saved my run.

[@Hex51]

feels like a real adeventure

[@carsracingnetwork]

Very well done video, I felt like I was watching a movie from the narration to the video editing. I really enjoy your work as well, but hats off to this video its the best I have seen in recent memory, thanks again. This inspired me to try this challenge too.

[@Cookie-ds4lk]

That was fun! I would love to see you do another one of these. It was very exciting to watch. Keep up the great work. 😍

[@patrickdavis5231]

This was FANTASTIC to watch! The narration was on so so good

[@ianoag]

Much respect for attempting this !

[@Selrahcbal]

That was a good run to watch, and I imagine it would have been a good refresher to yourself of how the game actually plays. I did a "what they are calling" a vagabond run a while ago. It would be a bit easier now with thrall cages and more resource drops. But there was no building outside of what I could make in my inventory and no thralls outside of cages. I did it on Siptah, and you know, the thing about siptah is that it doesn't have the lore and story progression that the Exiled Lands have. I hardly play it for that reason nowadays. It's a good fun run. Thanks for putting it together, and I hope you enjoyed it.

[@skuldcold]

I am so proud of you. The Boss Croc deaths made me giggle, too funny. I hope this was fun and that you enjoyed this as much as we all did :)

[@YepImThatGuy66]

Your videos are breathing new life into the Exiles, really enjoyed! :D

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thank you! That's the aim 😂

[@panzer00]

This is how I have been playing on an RP server. The best change Funcom made imo was to the loot table of enemies. Being able to rescue caged thralls on the Exiled Lands also makes this playstyle more viable.

[@Eradicati0nn]

Yeah the loot reworks and the cages especially came in clutch, some parts would have been far more difficult did I not have a thrall or pockets of plant fiber 😂

[@BrentDnD]

The sandstorm isn't that difficult to survive with just a few rough wraps. The sandstorm damage doesn't stop the wrapping/healing animation and you are essentially healing yourself through the damage. It only takes 3-4 wraps and you easily survive the sandstorm without requiring a shelter.

[@ErikrNorthman]

I am very impressed! You managed to claim your victory! All hail Eradicati0n! Skål! 🍻

[@MadPirateShin]

Sandstorm can be survived by using light-weight healing wraps.

[@Gamingwithdistractions]

More of this please! Your voice is made for storytelling!

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thank you! I've done plenty of storytelling content with my lore videos, though I've got an idea or two to take the concepts & presentation from that series and evolve it into something for PvE storytelling

[@Gamingwithdistractions]

I've gone back and watched many of your videos, but have not watched the lore ones yet. Will get to them though 😉

[@SiegeBeDookie]

Definitely didn’t expect this kind of video from you 😂 must say I really liked it 👍

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thanks Siege! It's definitely not my usual content, but I had a lot of fun recording & editing it

[@hipzipper1]

I've often thought about trying the nomad style of game. After watching this I think it a definite possibility. Thanks.

[@Eradicati0nn]

Honestly, I'd say it's well worth it. It'll be a little less challenging for seasoned PvE players but not having a home to hunker down in was quite exciting at times

[@runnymedeworks6326]

I like to take on the spider boss at skittering cavern for an early legendary on a fresh playthrough. I use stone daggers and bleed her out. usually level 15 at this point. Only place with a legendary chest not in a dungeon. Every now and then I get lucky, but it's usually a shield or a bow. I think the Nemedian that she drops would help with durability for some of the non legendaries you pickup.

[@M-traxx]

25:40 did you have a look at my great pyramid as well? ! did see a small other base of mine glimps up for a second and my teleporter at the mounts was where you where looking at. Great video though i enjoyed watching it just like any of your other videos

[@Lost_Elfgirl]

Was fun to watch dude! I want to do a almost similar gameplay for a while.

[@Brigand231]

Fun video, I really enjoy your narrative style.

[@Saicreed1]

Fun fact: Even in PvE, when thralls are down, even player attacks can kill them. That's why Dann died.

[@Tetsumi100]

A "meandering stroll run(?)" 😅 Of Conan Exiles? Very enjoyable.

[@chaosgyro]

The lands beyond have kings and sorcerors enough. Here, in these lands, none is lord or master greater than me. Pass beyond the barrier if you wish. Fade into the dark of history unmarked as you will. But the Exiled Lands are my empire - gaze upon my works, ye mighty, and despair.

[@davyman2000]

I've noticed the boss bugs a LOT since the update. I'll be fighting in the un-named city fighting dragons and they just sit there. Kinda spoils the fun lol

[@Eradicati0nn]

I've seen it bug before I think, though not often. I think I've seen the Priestking bug out before too. Very glad the Kinscourge or Degenerate didn't bug out, I wasn't keen on having to run those dungeons again 😂

[@MissVitticeps]

[@MsToshi1990]

@@Eradicati0nn I watch whatever you do honestly! I find it super impressive you only took 15 hours to beat it. Majority of my Conan time is a mix of PVE and building. Could never imagine beating it without a base.

[@Eradicati0nn]

@@MsToshi1990 I definitely could have shaved some time off, but yeah 15 hours isn't too shabby for a first run 😂 That's actually why I decided to do this run. I was thinking about playing some PvE and thought about my base, then instead thought "what if I didn't have one?", and here we are 😂

[@M-traxx]

aw i play on that server and i did not see you there :( no time to watch the whole video now.. will watch it this weekend

[@DragonDrop4758]

Dan continues fighting once you are close to him. Thralls do not continue the fight until you get in range or another player is.

[@Eradicati0nn]

Yeah I was hoping that was the case 😂

[@MusouWarrior720]

Sobek cave is good for starter armor 200 Hp 500+ armor and musashi black blade are easy to get too

[@Kaziklu]

I mean you can clothe and arm yourself generally with combat. you can get food this way too for the most part. The Scourge stones don't need a crafting bench The none of the dungeons you need to go into require one either really. So literally if you fight for gear drops.... know caves are to avoid the sand storm (and where it isn't an issue) then honestly it is not really that difficult a task.

[@Lone_Wolf_Toys]

I enjoyed watching this run! What server did you do this on?

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thanks Lone! I played on Official PvE #1023, I just picked the one that had the best ping for me when I looked 😂

[@MJWPub]

Going home to jail? You should have a word with Dan's probation officer?!

[@BlackDahlya]

Oh, it's a really nice video! My hyperfocus on CE is gone, and although I no longer play, I still watch your videos. I was always curious to know how the game ends and you sated my curiosity with this video. What was your level at the end? (Apologies if you mentioned in the video. I might have missed it.)

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! I meant to take an end-of-run screenshot of my build, but I think I got a bit caught up in the moment of finishing the run 😂 I think I ended up around level 42/43 with a fairly inefficient build, I had to spend points to get my carry weight up that could have been used to boost my damage, but it worked out in the end

[@BlackDahlya]

Oh, I thought that you were only able to do those dungeons at level 60 (same for the world bosses), so I always used mods to level down the bosses and/or power up my character. I might go back to try to play without those mods. Thank you!

[@Nimdhar]

Nice video, I was thinking on a similar idea once, but I failed like 20 min after :D Btw one question, the workbench you have placed on the very begin at 00:56 , it's a bazaar item, or a decoration mod? Its looks really awesome.

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thanks Nimdhar! It's a Bazaar item, I think from the Aesir Blacksmith bundle from AoW C2, if I recall correctly. No mods, as I played on an official PvE server

[@Nimdhar]

@@Eradicati0nn Thank you! Sadly I dont have that.

@Eradicati0nn I'll make sure to have a fountain so you can have a cheat free refreshment XD

[@SemiramisAudron]

I was wondering why you didnt consider trying to run to Sepermeru to get some useful stuff from chests in the beginning already? Would it have counted against the building/settlement rule? Or would it have made it too easy? Or did you consider it a waste of time to run there with the little stamina you have? (it is definitely possible to run there straight from the beginning if you are careful enough around the fauna on the way... just takes ages basically)

[@Eradicati0nn]

Honestly, it didn't occur to me in the early game 😂 I knew I could probably beeline easy high-tier loot like Sepermeru or the legendary katana at Al-Merayah but I kinda wanted the early-game struggle, and wanted to procure things as I went from relic to relic as opposed to taking too much time away to get gear that will trivialize the early game

[@SemiramisAudron]

@@Eradicati0nn Makes a lot of sense, it certainly would have made the video less entertaining to watch. And thats what we're here for - thank you so much for always bringing out fun and informative vids

[@kalfoxx7749]

I was super interested in this as you said " WITHOUT building" and less than minute in you say that you are allowed to build crafting benches. It made me sad as I have been trying to find a good set of rules for a proper nomad challenge and unfortunately this isn't it.

[@Eradicati0nn]

I'd regard that idea as more of a scavenger run, with no crafting allowed at all. This is more of a no shelter/no base run Scavenger rules are probably pretty simple though. No crafts, everything must be looted (bedroll & campfire included). I'd regard Nomad as purely no permanent home or fixtures, but scavenger sounds a little closer to what you're aiming for

[@Dragonstalon1001]

There are 2 Legendary Chests in the Dregs to help Low Level Players with Legendries.....You need to fire your Discord Advisers LOL

[@Eradicati0nn]

I can't blame the Discord advisory panel 😂 I do also remember reading Legendaries were locked behind level 60 reqs, I guess that either got removed or was a rumor at the time. In retrospect, I think a legendary weapon might have trivalized a lot of the early struggle though, so I'm glad I only got my hands on it for the harder spots

[@nnkh2o73]

I still hope, that Funcom will introduce wipes on PVE and PVE-С (every 3-6 months). Otherwise it becomes ridiculous.

[@Eradicati0nn]

I'm pretty sure they've said before that they'll never wipe the current officials, as people losing years of work is a good way to get them to stop playing. If they introduced servers that have regular wipes though, I'd support it
