2:11:45 it's pretty much confirmed Jesse was living rough for much of the time since Ordinary.

2:08:29 Yeah, Polaris was with Dylan too, I'm sure. But not as strongly. Dylan was a Parautilitarian, after all, a Prime Candidate. He had potential, but the FBC MASSIVELY f'd up raising him. He grew up with NOTHING but resentment for them. Then the Hiss broke through, found him, helped him, making him MUCH stronger.

1:37:00 it's so funny that you didn't face any infamous "fall through the arena during the Former boss fight" issue until the second encounter lol Most people die by falling through the ground on their first attempt and then are more careful during this second fight lol

1:51:02 I don't get nauseous while playing games like some people do (I did get nauseous from spending 4-5hrs in VR tho, but that's different). But walking on the ground of this twisting hallway gave me a strange headache and made me feel woozy. And the game did it because of IN-WORLD ARCHITECTURE. That's just pretty cool lol Edit: 1:55:20 I guess it's making you dizzy, too lol

02:03:33 I guess my brain is just right cuz I sit in the Big Chair daily! (I have the EXACT chair in my room. We bought it from IKEA lol)

01:09:31 Sarah, the only thing this game has proven is you are a good gamer, not everyone can take out bosses on 1st try and definitely not esseJ 🖤 01:17:24 You were just about to go get the mirror suite reward which you eventually find in Playthrough Part 13 at 00:06:50:) 01:55:06 No:) The first direct AW reference is the AI73-UE which you discover in Playthrough Part 12 at 01:17:15:) 02:03:30 The Director chair:)

I know you guys already completed the base game, but you can get Essej's outfit by going to the mirror room and looking around. It'll be on a mannequin.

[@EricSarahLevelUp]

We find it in episode 13!

FYI: Seizing a Hiss Cluster makes it heal you during combat.

I know y'all finished the game and may have even finished the Jukebox Expeditions to get the Expedition Gear outfit, but if you haven't, I wanted to leave you some advice: - The four different tasks in the Jukebox are always the same and are always reached via their respective archway. Nothing shifts or moves around. - What does change is the difficulty of each task as you complete them. For each one you finish, the next one gets harder, and so on. This means that there is a strategy to go after each task in a specific order to mitigate this difficulty curve as much as possible. The order I always do Expeditions in is 2, 1, 3, 4. This is the order when viewing each archway from left to right. - The four tasks for each archway are as follows: 1. Leftmost Archway. Do this one second in your run. Capture pressure plates. Don't kill anything you don't need to. 2. Second from the left archway. Do this one first. Defeat three waves of Hiss. This is the hardest one and it is pertinent you do it first to avoid making it even harder as the difficulty increases as you advance. Seize is your best friend for this task, and for this entire Expeditions Mode in general. Don't sleep on Seize! Having the ability to instantly get three strong enemies on your side to keep the pressure off of you is crucial and at high levels, you can even Seize Hiss Clusters, which will heal you instead of the Hiss! 3. Second from the right archway. Do this one third. Collect three biometric logs from the dead rangers. The rangers can only spawn in specific areas. Learn where they spawn and avoid killing anything you don't have to. 4. Rightmost archway. Do this one last. Easiest of the four tasks, just find the three Hiss cubes and launch them into the furnace. Avoid fighting if you don't have to, just let Seize do all the work to keep the Hiss distracted if you can or need to. - I reiterate... DO NOT SLEEP ON SEIZE! 😅😂 It is the most OP ability in the game and with a few Seize Accelerator Mods, you can basically instant-Seize the enemies when they become susceptible. - For higher tier Expeditions that add negative modifiers to you, try to make sure they are for guns you don't use much or for things that you think you can manage against. I always reroll a run if the negative modifiers significantly decrease my damage or significantly increase their damage/health. Obviously this requires a lot of Source and whatnot, but I've only ever had to do maybe 3-5 rerolls before getting something manageable. Good luck!

You missed the new outfit outside of the Mirror room, it's on one of the mannequins, unlocked after the fight with Essej. It's arguably the best one in the game too. Regarding Dylan (hope you exhaust all of his dialogue before the point of no return), I feel like there's no way a kid raised in closed sterile conditions surrounded by people in white lab coats would grow up without any issues, Hiss aside (watching damn Threshold Kids). Idk what Darling thought would happen

[@rockerojerez349]

oooh that insane

[@philthygamerPC]

You can cheese the expeditions very easily. Go into settings and turn on invincibility and one shot kill. After getting the rewards just turn the settings back to your default. It's not cheating ,if the Devs put it in the game, I would use them.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

I second this! Tweak those enemy and player damage settings, or turn on invincibility and just get through this It's the time limit that REALLY bothers me cuz the combat itself ain't all that difficult

[@L4ftyOne]

Ayyy ❤
