Inscryption - Part 4

[@mostobnoxiouscorpse]

People are saying Mark is missing things and thus not progressing in the story, but honestly as someone who has never played or seen another youtuber play this game, I'm having a blast just watching him play card games. Tbh this is for sure one of my favourite gameplays

[@repleeca]

Same

[@SG41372]

yeah i got the game because of his let's play to be honest, and i wasn't dissapointed its a very good game!

[@dr.health1688]

It’s because the game tells him how to progress using hints. And then he completely ignores it. If he acknowledged what he needed to do but made it clear he wanted to dick around more, people wouldn’t be upset. But watching someone act like a dense idiot isn’t pleasant for a lot of people.

[@Beefaroni_Bert]

the game gets better when you move past the first THIRD of it lmao

[@jeremyminecraft7145]

Agreed. A lot of the playthroughs I tried to watch would always skip past the fun card game playing parts. But seeing every bit of Mark's adventure is a lot more fun than watching someone do all the secrets.

Just when I thought his undying squirrel thing was the most broken thing ever and losing it is just gonna get him stuck again, he goes on and creates an even more broken strat with the ouroboros. Simply genius! This series has me hooked! Can't wait to see more!

[@wyvern107]

While the ouroboros is certainly broken, it still costs 2 blood, and you need to get it first. If Mark had stopped at simply an overleveled ouroboros, he wouldn't have swept everything so easily. Now, an overleveled ouroboros, squirrels that let you pick any card from your deck, and an infinite sacrificial cat with enough blood for anything other than Urayuli... And to make matters worse/better, he gave his ouroboros essentially double damage. A couple more levels, and it could have one-shot the moon.

[@burningfox4974]

If he chose the undying mole, or gave undying to a blood cost creature, he’d have a (semi) infinite loop by sacrificing Oro with the undying then sacrifice the undying for Oro

The “child 13” card is the jersey devil- created when a mother became pregnant with her 13th child and said her child would be cursed; the devil’s child. when she gave birth the baby grew horns and cloven hooves as well as wings. idk if that’s meaningful to the game but just wanted to say that for anyone interested

[@NOva-haha]

Ooo thanks for the info

[@original_demonic]

When sacrificed 13 times in one game, it turns into a different card called the “Hungry Child”, which has no attack or defence, which most people think is a reference to the early version of inscryption named “sacrifices must be made”. One of the cards there was named the hungry child. It returns back to child 13 in the next round.

Hint for the fire. If you allow the survivors to eat a venomous card like the adder, they will die and no longer show up later in your playthrough, allowing you to heat up a card for as long as possible

It's not cards with venom, it's specific cards. It works with the adder, ringworm, and long elk but not with cards that you added the venom sigil to.

[@donovanjoseph737]

Allow me to ask, but when do you meet the criteria to allow you to risk doubling down on a campfire. I blasted through act 1 never dying to anything besides scripted grizzly rushes.

Yeah, Leshy might be about as psycho as the rest of them, but he's defs got a gift for the dramatic. And he's still _trying_ to make things fun. He just wants it to be... _his_ kind of fun! (Willing participation optional) "Hm, taking a stern look, all of these delightful boons might be throwing off the challenge I aspired for, but on the other hand- letting my challenger build the power of god and kill the moon... Eh, balance is overrated anyway." Sounds just like something that would happen in the right D&D plotline.

In case anyone is wondering, child 13 switches between an attack mode and defense mode each time it is sacrificed, after being sacrificed 13 times it turns into a 0/1 “hungry child” with no abilities at all, not even hidden ones And the ringworm kills the survivors at the campfire, removing them from all future campfires, so there’s no risk with boosting a cards stats (yes the survivors occasionally eat the card you put in)

Hey Mark, the ring worm's actually really good for two reasons.

Also, the cat costs 1 blood, whereas the geck is free

[@asefnirumand2355]

I would sacrifice the cat to the geck if possible

[@Wan_DerFull]

Sadly the cat has a sacrifice limit of 9 times, and doesnt generate bones. Unkillable Geck has no sacrifice limit, generates bones and returns to hand

[@Yuiopdude]

If he had just gone with the unkillable mole as well, he could have grabbed the mole, the geck, and the oroboros... and had an infinite stacking oroboros.

Mark won't naturally get to the point of having to blind himself in one eye to get the thing he needs... He's too good at this 😅

[@dylansmith6254]

thats betting if he even remembers he has the option before realizing it too late

[@Gakusangi]

He already used the knife once, but made the wrong choice... so he doesn't realize the eye does anything mechanically outside of the game on the table.

[@EffectOfLegend]

Yeah the first time I used the knife it was available to me, I didn't realize it wouldn't show for Mark

@@Gakusangi When he used the knife it was on a run before you can get the eye you need.

Well... at least Mark's gonna have a lot of fun with Kaycee's Mod, since he's clearly more absorbed in Leshy's game than what the game is trying to tell him otherwise 😅

52:25 I love to see how Markimoo finally understands the game enough to pull the broken Ouroboros combo but YET fail miserably at picking the last piece of it while thinking about how to make the combo even stronger. I mean, Mark, take a second undying card, please xDD

[@dylanmorse5959]

I love that it feels like he made progress but in reality he's looping. But he did lock onto the clock so let's see how long it takes

This game is spectacular, it throws such interesting twists and turns later on. So glad mark is playing it

I can't wait till he gets to phase 2 and 3

as somebody that doesn’t know a thing about this game, im having a blast, and if it turns out mark missed some secrets i can just go watch someone that only does the secrets after i finish marks series, its pretty simple lol idk why ppl are complaining. just watch someone that will play the game how you want to watch it played

Honestly, Mark is hitting every secret on accident. i didn't even know you get a third candle till today. the only thing he is missing is the key to continuing the story.

The ringworm has a very specific use: you must get it killed at the campfire. So basicly just use it on the fire untill it dies then the survivors will die and you can use the fire without the risk of you'r card dying.

That makes so much sense! Jebus, I feel dumb

[@lordaragon901]

I just realized the ultimate combo for this game, try to get oroboros, and basically give it the abilities of the ant queen as well as the warren, so that when you summon it, you get a rabbit and a worker ant in your hand, summon the worker ant and sacrifice oroboros which puts it back in your hand, summon the rabbit and then sacrifice the ant and rabbit to summon oroboros which gives you another worker ant and rabbit, and basically do this on loop until you get like frickin 200 damage in your oroboros.
