22:09 thats a reference to Firefly's in-game mechanic. Oak cake rolls give you more break damage. All of her attacks, skills, and traces all link to break damage. They were hinting this at the very beginning, those sly developers.

[@narukamiseta122]

Don't worry Mage. If you're still confused about some things, a youtuber by the name of Ashikai does a good job of explaining the story from 2.0 to 2.2. It should help clarify a few things. 2.3, from what I can recall, was not live at the time of the video so there shouldn't be any spoilers in it.

[@ThreeTimesFaster]

As rare as unique NPCs are in this game, I like that they gave Old Oti such a distinctive look that I didn't even realize he was a Pepeshi at first.

[@lihnoikari]

I love how the stellaron hunters are just a big family, like the express, is cute that even blade is worried for firefly! Even tho they are seen as evil for most people on the cosmo

[@magemasher22]

I really like their dynamic yes!

[@j.w.971]

​@@magemasher22this is true and is cute, but you can tell that Firefly is the "baby" of the Stellaron hunter family

[@NevinXp]

1:05:40 feels lacking because you didn't see that attack against Sunday the first time and many people commented about it making you have high expectations😭

[@HaittaaksSes]

7:52 The simplest description I can give is that Doctors of Chaos are followers of Nihility who do not really agree with Nihility, so they try to heal and study people who have come into contact with Nihility.

[@magemasher22]

Ah okay!!

[@monkeywadaf8863]

Yeah that lottery 500k jades has really unrealistic odds, 2 players out of like 50 mil active players. But you can enter lottery every day to at least get the 600.

[@justinm.8016]

IT’S ALL OR NOTHING

[@KazEka7]

LETS GOO GAMBLINGGG

[@TheAHuman]

To quote Mr. Gambling Man himself, “The chance, no matter how small. The potential is what you hang onto. That’s what justifies the gamble.”

[@XtrmPlays]

I would love for Hoyo to release the breakdown at the end of what percentage took the 100 vs. entered the lottery. Bust... or maybe I'll take it all!

[@Avsece_]

its a gacha gamble, ofc I'll gamble it

[@AsamiTheWitch]

"A garden gnome that's been promoted to a CEO" xD Why is that so fitting

[@magemasher22]

🤣🤣

[@GalaxyWarper]

Yay, it's time for 2.3! The epilogue isn't as long as 2.2, so you should be able to knock it down within the next 2 episodes 39:38 You were literally melting at the sight of Jade lol Also, Jelena is Topaz’s real name, just like Kakavasha is Aventurine’s real name. 55:57 So, the full dream and reality stuff is not too complicated. We first entered Penacony in Reality, did everything up until confronting Sunday in the final battle, then Sunday forced us into Ena’s Dream where we did everything again until Black Swan helped us escape Ena’s Dream at the end, woke up from Ena’s Dream and defeated Sunday, and finally, 2.3 takes place in the Dreamscape in Reality. To be more specific, we were in a dream inside of Ena’s Dream, so essentially, the different layers goes like this: 1. Reality 2. Dreamscape 3. Reality in Ena’s Dream 4. Dreamscape in Ena’s Dream (aka Dream inside a Dream)

[@KazEka7]

2 episodes?

[@GalaxyWarper]

@ I’m just taking an estimated guess. Not sure if Mage wants do to two 1 hour episodes or just a 2 hour episode to finish the epilogue due to its short story length

[@selenastar]

You had to gamble on the 500000. It's what Aventurine would want. A side note: All Warp Trotters have hearts bc Topaz is in your party. She has a way with them bc of Numby.

[@HaittaaksSes]

Amazing timing once again. I was wondering what I should do for the next hour while waiting for the gambling event in HSR to reset.

[@HaittaaksSes]

Update: Got the 50 Jades.

[@carlmahilum5231]

1:05:58 ive seen people on tiktok straight up get obliterated by that move back then because of their shields not strong enough 😆😆

[@testogel85]

In defense of the commenters making remarks about you having to see Boss Sunday's big attack... the experience is different if you come across it naturally, unprepared while playing the story fight for the first time, compared to having it hyped up by a bunch of people and then seeing it in a "rehashed" (for lack of a better term) fight scenario. Still, I'm glad you've gotten to see it now.

[@IceyK411]

He's incredibly lucky, is willing to sacrifice himself for his plans to benefit others down he line, and you're never sure if you can trust what he says... Is Aventurine the Nagito of Star Rail? 🤔

[@xenoic9671]

Im finally caught up properly to your HSR series! So excited to see you play through the rest of 2.3 (Though feel free to take your time!).

[@S1eth]

16:00 The story writers don't really go into detail about this, but are we really supposed to believe that Sunday personally created the individualized dream moments for each and every person on Penacony, like March stuffing herelf with food? Wouldn't it be more plausible that the Order/Sunday simply created a blank canvas which is then painted with the fulfillment of peoples' desires? (=the actual scenario writing would therefore be outsourced to the individuals instead of Sunday doing everything by himself) And then Sunday would only have to intervene if desires conflict in some way, e.g. multiple people want to win a contest, or someone really wants to be a serial killer.

[@FelipeF78]

That may be the case. Acheron says that Sunday wasn't powerful enough yet to create flawless dreams, so we can take your idea and say that the dreams were unrealistic precisely because each person had too much free reign to paint their blank canvas. March's dream wasn't wrong (going on a shopping spree is exactly the first thing she did in Penacony), just exaggerated.

[@HandOn-c40009]

Yeah I don't think it was even said he craft anything, thing being auto filled based on what you know and what you desire seemed to be the most logical conclusion, March has no memory so all the dream get to work with is food.

[@TheRookieJ]

1:04:10 Someone who wants to watch the world burn.

[@S1eth]

10% chance for 600 jades and 90% chance for 50 gems still averages out to 105 gems, which is more than the fixed 100.

[@pandapanzerdrivein7374]

Immediately likes for Silver Dachshund.

[@hjlm1886]

If you realized, Old Oti is a papeshi. He has that fluff ball on his head. Shows how old papeshi people can get considering 10 amber era's (Old Oti's age) are like around 2500 years

[@Rietto]

Also, I assume the Dream crafters are paid for their hours of labor in the dream, even if what they're building isn't actually 'real'. 🤔 It still takes some kind of training to learn to shape memoria the way the Family does in Penacony.

[@Dethrox]

But Mage.. that was the Aeon (s'hand) themself :D its like the very first time they actually intervene in a fight :DD

[@annaairahala9462]

I'm not surprised you like Jade 😆

[@magemasher22]

Me neither 😏😏

[@verez5518]

People just like to see a big boss attack hit the reactors 😅🤣

[@Sarcotic]

Seeing Jade always reaffirms my choice to be a quantum main.

[@AlluttajaYT]

And yeahh the Sunday ultimate wasn't too insane it was just really cool, Ena's hand just appearing from the sky! I was just trying to get you some more trace materials :)

[@HandOn-c40009]

2:55 ah this is continuation of star rail old relics of daily system, before certain update you have to do daily quest to get the point for the daily jade before they increase the point and now all you have to do is grind calyx Those daily quest has some variety, from somber and sad to just you doing math no now they putting conclusion to those quest

[@symmol27]

the light cone with Ruan Mei should be your best option for Herta

[@SdarkDeathGod]

Thank you Mage for listening to our request of fighting Sunday again to see his Ultimate. This is why your fans love you! The Epilogue is kinda boring because it's mostly dialogue! It won't take you that long to finish it!

[@Shinjixhou]

That gambling event doesn't scare me I've opened csgo cases before those are way worse

[@AlluttajaYT]

Surely I'll be one of the two people winning the 500k jades 🙂

[@MegaGreenkirby]

Dude my comment wasn't just about the attack, it was that you missed it and an achievement by blocking it entirely and this time you didn't get enough shield to block it 😆 🤣 as to March's comment of an "unidentified stellaron" she said the same thing when you were in the fake ending where you won. After 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 are back in the Xianshou and 2.6 and 2.7 are again in Penacony, you should probably do Fu Xuan's companion quest before going into 3.0 too and please don't skip stuff :333

[@recorafina1518]

1:06:00 it definitely is

[@exknight39]

As a gacha player, always bet on that lottery for the jokes. Seriously tho, not really worth it. Ah, Lady Bonajade, the one person that match both Himeko and Kafka with her two big personalities. Crazy how there was a small controversy with her english voice not being seductive and matching with the vibe she gives.

[@magemasher22]

Really?? Damn, I think her VA does a great job!

[@annaairahala9462]

I've never heard that complaint before

[@themetronomian7239]

HALLOU :3

[@keychera]

I really hope you win the 500000

[@magemasher22]

Haha can you imagine??

[@Scratto]

@@magemasher22 if u do sell ur account and make a new one xDD

[@lumine9311]

Next episode plsss❤

[@KazEka7]

You should do more honkai

[@sethputrelo3748]

I mean... you have The Herta... Jade's a good teammate.... just sayin'....

[@inspirer4763]

Leave it to Hoyoverse players to overhype just an okay thing.
