I finished the game yesterday after 2 weeks of nerding 10 hours a day (while totally ignoring the fact that I needed to study because otherwise I won't finish university) and I wanted to do it with no help from YT tutorial, now that I did it I can learn everything I did wrong. Amazing effort bro, keep going 💪🏻

I appreciate how you explained things in this video. I just got into this game last week. I'm heckin dyslexic so every time I get into a new game, I struggle learning about it without a video like this as I'm not good with things involving text. Just writing these few sentences took me an unfortunate amount of time lol. Thanks!

Hey I'm glad it's useful! I was in your position as well and had a hard time finding videos so I started making them. I chill in voice chat in my discord every now and then on the weekends if you want to ask any questions, my main goal is helping new players get over that initial difficulty curve to where the game starts getting really fun.

I had never considered using a chilling trap for the magical fire rooms! you really do learn something new everyday with this game. like, now I tend to test new potions beside water but not in it, because I think you might freeze if you're in water & open a potion of frost, your potions might shatter. & also, open your potions outside of toxic gas rooms. I had to die to learn this lesson, you can get paralytic gas, I was gone instantly. last tip, you can splash yourself with inert potions if you need to extinguish yourself. purity also works, but you can splash it or drink it. & dk if it was a fluke, but I think I managed to suffocate a fire with toxic gas once.

I'm an experienced player myself, but watching other people play is always fun because everyone treats situations differently. because there are so many different tricks & uses for items & environments, if you watch someone long enough you will almost always pick up on something new, or a different way to do something, which each player has picked up, just doing something a tiny bit differently. a successful game of pixel dungeon is made up of hundreds of tiny correct choices, I say. these are the small things I would have done differently: wells of health are very precious in my eyes. they can potentially cleanse five equipment (that is, if you've managed to recklessly equip a curse weapon, armour, & three rings/artifacts. now that I think about it, six is possible if you're using the champion). if I find one, I'll equip all of the unidentified things that I fancy using, to effectively identify all of the equipment up until I run into something that's cursed & if none of my unsure items are cursed I'll equip something definitely cursed, the one that I fancy the most, because you can only cleanse one weapon each well. I favour items from sacrifical fires though, because I find they tend to be upgraded a little more often than ground items. you already knew that, but I consider it worth running up a few floors, especially if you're already cursed or starving & have the health to make the trip back. the way I test unidentified but safe weaponry is trying to get a surprise attack. this wouldn't work for flails I guess, but it's pretty quick. though you probably have figured that one out, I think I learned it from a more recent video of yours. I appreciate the inclusion of the trick of circling around grass to get infinite surprise attacks, but I personally would trample the grass before I leave the room. & I think you missed s few opportunities for surprise attacks, like, you could have carefully led a snake around some grass by making sure it keeps close. lastly, it's a small thing, but I appreciate you being inclusive of nonbinary gnolls. it's cheesy, but making a little effort to correct the automatic default assumption of the gnoll scout being a man was appreciated. it makes me happy.
@runningfromcake2 ай бұрын
good tips thanks! I love finding a well of health in the sewers for that exact reason. So if the unidentified weapon can't surprise attack that means that you don't have the required strength? I actually haven't taken advantage of that mechanic. It's funny with fictional things like gnolls as well, I mean, I don't know their biology either.

Yeah the monks get that focus ability which parries your next attack. If you examine them you can see if they have the "focus" buff up. If you can, use a weak range weapon to clear the focus before they get in melee range, then hit them with your stronger weapon. The ghouls are annoying aren't they, try to avoid groups larger than 2, if you end up with 4 or more try and run away to separate them.
