Fighting For Every Inch in SALT AND SANCTUARY

[@TheBacklogs]

A huge thanks to all the community members who made this video possible. It took over 10 months of scheduling conflicts and timezone confusion, but we got there! Give their socials a peek in the description! Fun Fact : This video was supposed to commemorate 10k Subscribers. ...nailed it.

I wish I could have been one of the Guardians too, fun video though you got me into salt and sanctuary

Good man.

nah buddy, that was perfect, great video and keep up the good work.

[@solaire6444]

I'm a little sad to see that this is the end of Salt and Sanctuary challenge runs but I'm also glad that it gets a chance to go out in one last blaze of glory.

[@Coooollladee]

Do I have something to tell ya

[@nucleargoofball8043]

Not only is Lemon the dad friend at his DnD tables, but he's also an ABSOLUTE UNIT of a GAMER

[@gustavspincow1262]

well now i want to see a backlogs DnD series

[@gromaxe]

wow, Lemon plays DnD? DnD streams when?

[@nucleargoofball8043]

As much as I love DnD, I have a good amount of experience running games myself (I've been playing for 9 years, running them for 5)-- and unless I legit have a crew helping me out, setting up expensive cameras and troubleshooting and all that complicated stuff, I wouldn't be able to do a stream, let alone regularly. Hell, setting up the game every week takes TWO DAYS of effort, what with creating fresh stat blocks (to counter my players knowing too many things), making interesting battle maps, out of poster foam, regular posters, etc., and then with my brain occupying DnD the rest of the entire week, thinking about my players and how to accommodate for as much as I can so my players can have a well-earned and satisfying win? It's all-consuming. My players have a blast every time because of it, but DEAR LORD does it take over my entire life. I'd rather not inflict that on Lemon. However, if he were to run an online game, say, on Roll20, it may be easier?

[@gromaxe]

@@nucleargoofball8043 I streamed roll20 games without cameras, this is much easier setup

[@jakbenimbel2521]

I had a good chuckle at the Happy Souls reference at 17:56

[@chienduongquang8087]

IT IS FINALLY HERE!!! Great jobs Lemon, this is my favorite video so far. Can't wait to see what shenanigans you going to get into in Sns2.

[@Robokitty01]

And in the end of an Age, Friends shall turn on Friends, And Foes shall join anew. The fight was his last, yet despite his end, Lemon went out with a true bang.....by fisting a literal god to death. Well done. Sad to see this game go, but I enjoyed the fun times with it! Cant wait to see more Lemon!

[@Bluecho4]

In an age of Endings and Betrayals, there was only one way forward: with fists and flame.

Thank you for including me ! You're a legend :D

[@xaxaiuedufraine4897]

It feels special getting to finally watch this video. It was a pleasure to participate in this event, and I can't wait to see where the channel goes next. Thanks for everything, Lemon.

[@tortoiseterror7073]

Was a fun run, can't wait for part 2!

[@mythy0000]

I will miss these Salt and Sanctuary videos but man the progress I have seen from this channel and the growth especially I wish you the best in whatever you do next and I can’t wait for the future videos Lemon :) love ya bud

[@AJ-W]

Lemon is so damn entertaining to watch and listen to he's got me watching challenge runs of games I've never even played.

[@SailorMusicCat]

I found him recently due to binging Dark Souls Challenge runs(I don't play but it's fu to watch people suffer) and so I've started at the top of the video list and am working my way down watching every challenge run because Lemon is just...so damn entertaining he's great to watch, use as background noise or swap between the two.

[@thepearled0120]

I did not expect a Kara no Kyoukai reference in a Salt & Sanctuary challenge run, but I can't say I'm displeased by the crossover.

[@ScharfKugel]

I'm doing my best to bring the good word of our lord and saviour Shiki Ryougi to the masses 🙏

[@RenzoArchangel]

Seeing my friend tortoise have fun with one of his favorite creators, makes me genuinely happy. This video is amazing! Good job Lemon.

[@The0verAchiever1]

The final of Salt and Sanctuary... woah. You've come so far Lemon, and can't wait to see more!

[@lordham4191]

Too much fun watching that last guardian fight! It was like DBZ!

[@brokemage1395]

This is definitely a bittersweet moment. I found you through your DS content but I absolutely enjoyed these challenge runs. I'm sad to see it go, but can't wait to watch you play salt and sacrifice.

[@dark_yyevannroxie2309]

Quite the bang to go out on, I hope the channel and community continues to grow, it's one hell of one. Watching this reminded me of the day I discovered the first video of yours I watched before going on a full day backlogs binge. Can't wait to see what's next you madman.

[@ScharfKugel]

It was an honour to be in this final video for a game I've loved so much for so long! I'm looking forward to the Salt & Sacrifice videos! (Also anyone reading this should still watch Kara no Kyoukai if you weren't already persuaded the first time)

[@jcdentongaming1304]

oh i will. already familiar with it thanks to melty blood

[@moonlitwisp]

New video from the Backlogs is the best start to any day!

[@tapthelvete]

You're speaking the truth!

[@smolsews3760]

This is like coming into a new TV series, really enjoying it, and then finding out it's been cancelled. I started watching your videos about a month ago and I had never heard of salt and sanctuary before. I'm now onto the witch and Mal and I'm loving it. Thank you for all your videos and I can:t wait to see what else you come up with ❤️

[@james22022]

Got to say, I love the videos you put out. They just have feel good vibes, even for challenge runs. But your X-Com ones have been my favorite so far. Keep up the great work!

[@freek2004]

You’ve come a long way and I’m all here for it. 150k well deserved, congratulations and keep it up.

[@dtczyk8976]

Dude that was awesome. Such a cool concept and such a great way to thank the community that supports you.

[@chegg3391]

Only took me 6 minutes to realize I could be watching some good salt and sanctuary Congrats on the milestone I've been around since 20k Keep up the good work lemon

[@gigabyteguru2452]

Thank you for these videos Lemon, thank you for introducing me to salt and sanctuary, and as sad as I am to see you put the game down for the last time, thank you for giving it a great send off.

[@flamatar6083]

Damn, I did not expect a Cosmere reference here. Love the matching quote for Hoid, it was very... Wit(ty). 10/10

[@gregtheegg7030]

I'm glad I was here to fight!

[@mrmustard1098]

Absolutely loved watching this, makes me really want to finish the game now.

[@Pottzy]

17:57 gotta love a good happy souls reference

[@purplehaze2358]

It's surreal to think that, one day, Lemon might do something similar with one of the soulslikes once there's nothing left to do in them.

[@tricmagic]

The developers remembered this crazy punching piece of fruit. Good on that Chiefy for bringing a gift. And the Judge being the 1% jumpscare at LV 3.

[@steaky6523]

I wanted to tell you lemon, your channel and your personality have inspired me to try my hand at KZbin. I love the way you play games along with your great personality, thank you for all of your work and I’ll stick with this channel forever!

[@wittymr8734]

17:56 Excellent Happy Souls reference

[@MrSC219]

This was a great send off. You got me into S&S and it was the most fun I've had with a game in a while. I'm going to start challenge running it myself now. Can't wait for the sequel to get some love.

[@asturias0267]

This was an amazing idea. I'd love to see more of it.

[@Telawin]

your videos are what got me in to salt and sanctuary, I'll be sad to see them go. but it was because of you that I was even able to beat the game in the first place... and if I were part of this challenge I'd have to face you with my favorite combo. swordwhip and poison effects.

[@whiiite1878]

Glad I discovered you on this game, now it's one of my favorite souls like. Thank you lemon, a little sad to see the end of this arc.. thank you lemon ❤️, now let's break salt and sacrifice!

Me: Sweet another Salt and Sanctuary vid from The Backlogs. 8:00 Me: There's a GUN SWORD?! I'm playing again immediately.

As a celebration to your new milestone of 159k, I'm gonna rewatch all the salt and sanctuary runs, some of my favorite stuff to have watched over the epidemic. Here's to good times ahead Lemon!

It was only a year ago that you hit the 150k mark, and you are already almost at 500k keep it up Lemon, you doin great work!!!

[@Physbrkr]

What a wonderful send off to this gem of a title and your series of challenge runs. I'm looking forward to what you do next! ^_^ Some thoughts for fun: -I'm glad heavy armor got some love! Been a fan since it helped me facetank through the final boss. -dunno if it was in the rules, but I'm glad no-one did any massive leveling exploits like the church grindspot.. made this whole thing feel a lot better that there were mostly on-par fights -i think you were actually doing well against Hoid, he was just like 40 levels higher than you so he had a bloated HP pool. -the image of two random half-naked drowned sailors punching a god to death with their bare fists is really, really funny to me for some reason. What a great way to end the video. ^_^ Hope you have a fantastic day!

[@DraconisLeonidas]

The entire sequence with Judge Bredd puts me in actual tears every fucking time from how hard I laugh. Your incredulousness just really sells the whole thing.

[@Zer0_Ph34r]

Redeever was definitely cosplaying as a Boodborne hunter, which is actually pretty fricken sweet. Also, I use that exact same Majora's Mask Skull Kid Laugh as my phone notification sound, so I thought I was going crazy when it sounded and I didn't have any notifications

[@redeveer6647]

Farewell, my keen hunter. Fear the blood. Care for a parting drink?

[@williamcote4208]

I totally agree with Scharf Kugel, Kara no Kyoukai is great… plus Yuki Kajiura is making the soundtrack and it’s amazing… like pretty much all of her works

[@ScharfKugel]

Ah, I see you are a fellow man of taste

[@bradblack9057]

Enjoy the work you do. Your runs have been inspiring me to do my own challenge runs and even start trying to stream them again. Keep doing what you do!

[@hunterotte9555]

When I saw your challenge runs of this game, I was an instant sub and knew I had to play it for myself. I will miss seeing this on the channel, but I do look forward to seeing what's next. Great final video for an amazing game.

[@artorios637]

Adios Salt and Sanctuary, may Salt and Sacrifice live up to the precedent you left for years to come.

[@ericb3157]

something Lemon said reminded me of a scene in the webcomic "order of the stick": the D&D-style Wizard, Varsuvious, gets into a fight with her "evil opposite" "Z'dittri"... "Damnation! how can i defeat an opponent who has optimized not only his spells, but his entire BUILD specifically to defeat...ME...Invisibility." Varsuvious then casts a "charm monster" spell on Z'dittri's Kobold teammate, a Rogue who uses a crossbow...

[@Loretic42069]

You are the reason I started playing salt and santuary and salt and sacrifice because I had never seen them before and I mostly watched your dark souls stuff and saw salt and sanctuary and wondered what it was and saw that it was a souls like, so I bought it and very much enjoyed it and just today actually I beat salt and sacrifice for the second time

[@hmsquared8603]

Dude, congrats on 150k! You deserve it. Also, what a great finale for Salt and Sanctuary.

[@toastedsheep8334]

This was great fun to watch, I don’t know much about this game seeing that this is the first video I’ve watched of this game, I love the pvp aspect of this video and I have an idea if you’d be interested: An Elden Ring run(I’m not sure what challenge you should add but) but at every grace point you need to dual a player dualist.

@@thenamelessguy2831 That’s the issue actually. Salt and Sacrifice is not a real sequel to Sanctuary, i guess people where expecting more of the first but instead got a game with a different formula.

[@crazyrocket2900]

It would be awesome to have a game where the bosses try over and over again to out smart you the player and do everything they can to win. Not sure how the gameplay loop would work but I imagine something like levels where you'd get a new set up for each world. Maybe the bosses would slowly upgrade their materials too.
