[@otisbrowndoggaming542]

Dude, you shared excellent info, conquered the new dark aether on your first try, got through some glitches. This was VERY well edited, and an extremely helpful vid. Thanks, and keep up the awesome work! The edit of the zoomed in ACV health made it so exciting. Best zombies video I’ve seen in a long time.

[@winterfellyt]

This video is the first time for me seeing Donut being terrified as well as mad. What a moment. Also, it's just the Juggernaut that's not allowed to be used in this Dark Aether. You'll be fine with sentry guns and airstrikes. I think it's by design.

[@mash2481]

Thermites are what one needs to bring in for the mega if you don’t think your gun can take him out fast enough. Just store your Aether blade and equip the thermites.

[@KadarOfficial-lg2zr]

I used a juggernaut yesterday it's really fucked up how hard they're making this for us especially if you go in solo or with a trio

[@winterfellyt]

@@mash2481 I agree, I forgot to mention the thermites. You're right mate, they're quite effective especially when you hit them square in the mouth when it does his laser blast.

[@1andonlyjoeyb534]

We kept trying to bring a 6 person squad but it would only let us bring 3 of us! You must have the Scorcher for the new Dark Aeither!!! Its difficult asf!

[@ttattx]

I ran it last night with a group - we didn't make it through the escort contract. we had one fella that was very chatty, and totally disorganized. It was the sweatiest DA to date, and we didn't even complete it - had 2 minutes to get out and no one knew where the exfil was - got out with beret schem, and usable golden mask and dead wire - can't wait to go back in tonight.

[@ghostinyourattic3545]

Did it last night with a crew and we did every contract and the bonus boss for the ram 7 BP with a little time to spare. Cleanest run I've ever had

[@ItsTrue.MikeOxlong]

That new dark aether is not something to do solo. I mean, it's possible, but you have to be 100% strapped with EVERYTHING because if not.... You will not survive.

[@shampwoo]

It’s funny how the temporary buffs in the dark aether are pretty crazy and then we get pretty lukewarm schematics.

[@thomasdonnelly2140]

29:25 is the most engaged I have ever been with a KZbin video ever LEETTTSSSS GOOOO

[@fortunestar3123]

That Deadwire upgrade seems a bit better than I thought. It's a good upgrade when your Aether blade is on cooldown. Works real good with Molotovs, Shatter mods, and surely the RGL.

[@llurksz]

Just fyi you don't need to shoot symbols on wall to perform the summoning. You can just go to the perform the summoning point and activate it. Shooting symbols is only for the rewards, legendary tool and flawless pack

[@winterfellyt]

But if you won't shoot the symbols they you won't have the triangle appear, right? Sounds like it doesn't add up 🤔 Okay, so granted you mean we know where the triangle should be, we could just go there directly and perform the summoning? That's pretty cool if true!

[@llurksz]

@@winterfellyt yes that's exactly what I mean. Try it in a next game. Get a purple relic, go to T3 corresponding triangle, find summoning point and activate it(without shooting symbols, hold Square or X to start the summoning) Have fun!

[@winterfellyt]

@@llurksz will do mate! Haha by the way, do you play in the EU too? We can team up sometime

[@ChaoticNeutralitee]

That was intense as hell. Almost every emotion on display through the run and that finish…wow!!

[@typyeatt9045]

You can start the ritual and fill the soul collection and receive the legendary tool and flawless crystal every time!

[@ShootingSportz]

Yes! We have been farming this to stack up the inventory.

[@mikedevan2411]

Myself and another guy had the "portal won't spawn" glitch as well, but couldn't get the laptop back off the postal stand. We had to go find a merc camp and get another, covert it gold in Tier 3 and try again. It worked that time. We were only able to complete 2 contracts (ACV destroyed) but it was a butt-kicking SO MANY SPECIAL Zombies). The Nuke ability was glitched and never gave us one after deading the highlighted zombies.

[@winterfellyt]

Next time bringing a VR-11 would help you guys a ton, at least at a Level 1 PaP, it will heal your ACV.

[@RedTheWanderer]

Man you got that same glitch I got, absolutely infuriating when you're set up and ready and it REFUSES to let you open the rift. So glad there's video proof of this

[@stkiswr]

I was not ready after I put the objects on the pedestals. I swear, 3 hvt abominations, 2 hvt manglers, 2 hvt disciples maybe more. I swear every time I went to get ammo more showed up. I was lucky a random team came by and helped because I came straight in with no perks and just couldn’t beat all that crap

[@JKinard]

I heard the longer u take to take everything out, the more the disciple will spawn things

[@stkiswr]

@@JKinard then that was my problem

[@JKinard]

@@stkiswr yea I saw it with the secret boss in the da. The first time I did it there must’ve been 10 freaking specials spawned lol n the second time I did it someone must’ve been running a really good gun or something cause we tore thru it’s health after the first minion spawn

[@Spidermonkey13]

@Doughnuts That was actually a super fun video to watch. I think it’s because thats how all my solo runs look. Just me running around like a chicken with my head cut off spraying bullets trying to complete challenges and barely making it.

[@BKMY215]

After trying the 3 pedestal power-ups last night I said the same thing to my teammates that those power-ups should have been the 3 schematics instead of the ones we got.

[@willzavala9890]

The excitement/stress in your commentary is so satisfying 😂

[@Mike77]

oh and at 15:00 those orbs I have no clue but I am pretty sure one guy in one of my games said it is a glitch showing Scorcher even if you don't have any

[@HunterSoli]

That glitch where the items wouldn't activate the portal happened to us when we we're getting the second aether opened up.

[@pleasentt]

how did ya fix it? I been trying for 3 hours still won’t open for me

[@Legnalious]

@@pleasentt I too encountered the bug during season 2. The bug occurred back then when placing the items during the storm expanding. Starting a new match and placing the items right away should work.

[@pleasentt]

@@Legnalious thanks I’ll try that

[@Legnalious]

@@pleasentt let me know if it works I’m about to try in a few hours myself. Based on Doughnut’s video it should. 👍🏽

[@HunterSoli]

@@pleasentt I had to bring them into the next game, when you put the stuff in make sure its just you putting all for items in the pedestals, idk if that will work but also make sure you put them in the spots correctly on the first try. Id do asap in a game to get it open then go about it as you normally would. Idk if other people doing it will mess it up either.

[@miraclechild_502]

The urgency and disparity in your voice was comedy I’ve never heard you so unsure of yourself but soon as you finish all the contracts you bailed to play another day….i loved it ur awesome doughnuts 😂

[@Mike77]

at 22:19 I went straight for Elder solo....cause I am an idiot I survived thanks to RGL and scorcher without it I don't think I would stood a chance

[@ThisIsDibble]

That’s just what we all needed a terrified Doughnuts on the loose again with fresh content, a fresh challenge and all delivered with heaps of enthusiasm and passion for the game. LETTTTTS GOOOOO 😃

[@Stmpjmpr01]

This made me feel better. I tried to hurry and just do the regular one with the giraffe and I died. I did not bring enough items with me and thought I was fine with just tier 2 zombies, but I was overconfident and underprepared.

[@curioplays]

This is why I always team up with randoms toward the end of the match if I launch solo, better to carry five then be buried alone

[@shatedscopez]

exact same thing happened to me when putting the items on the pedestal, it randomly activated after a minute or so when the smoke started to expand and had to fight the boss and mega in the smoke 😂

[@batman2099]

Your advice been 100% helpful appreciate the info you're the man 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 always have enough quick revise 👍🏼

[@bonafide9516]

The items on the podiums in the new dark aeither give you special abilities. The foot gives you unlimited stamina aka feets, the arm gives you a good amount more nukes to hit, and the roundish ammo mindblowing mod outlines the zombies in yellow, you hit a head shot they all explode.

[@ShootingSportz]

Thanks for this! I was curious what they did.

[@who_is_tessa]

This one is my favorite video so far. The "suck it" at the end of the outlast took me out. Beyond relatable. GGs!

[@Doughnuts]

It was so epic!

[@CJ_Version1]

That had to be the hypest most stressful escort I've ever watched. I'm glad I watched the entire video.

[@Doughnuts]

😀 it was awesome!

[@TTTTyme]

The funny part is he was only in T4. Love that they made this significantly harder.

[@SuperNickoHarris]

Just to make getting the Science Journal easy, if the storm is located in Tier 1, thats means in the storm will be Tier 2 Zombies. If the storm is in Tier 2, Tier 3 Zombies will be in the storm. Tier 3 storm, Tier 3 or 4 Zombies? Idk. My advice, I suggest going to the storms in Tier 1, and killing Tier 2 Zombies for Science Journal.

[@CYBER-wz1xc]

Doughnuts , during the ACV use the thermites to your advantage to slow the enemies coming from behind by slamming it in the back of the ACV or on the road, thermites can slow enemies.

[@CYBER-wz1xc]

Ps.: no clue if it works in aether hopefully it does

[@Darksun_91929]

Thank you for the video!!!! Loved it!!! Maybe a how-to-guide for the dark aether? Show where everything is located and best strategy to go solo!!

[@Wadura]

19:22 I've NEVER seen Doughnuts SO panicked in a zombies session before...

[@Doughnuts]

Oh wait until we get to round based 😅 like I said, I'm not great at zombies

[@Wadura]

@@Doughnuts ...we getting round based!? 💀

[@Doughnuts]

I hope so!

[@daniellefloyd1408]

This was a better walkthroigh than most walkthroughs lol, very helpful!!!

[@sethreynolds3704]

When you can't get zombies to go where you want them to I learned decoy grenades are great help

[@mash2481]

You shooting the ACV when it was at 34% was so clutch. I couldn’t even see it for the zombies.

[@deval3596]

the vr 11 electrofies everything that touches the zombie you shoot. so all he had to do was shoot a zombie and the whole horde was electrified which replenish the acv since all it took was one zombie to make contact with it.

[@cizko84]

Thanks!

[@Doughnuts]

Thank YOU for being so generous! :D You're awesome!

[@notnowmike_]

14:59 That red orb appeared in my game too.

[@matthewclark1331]

Took me forever to find the right spot to "perform the summoning". I was getting weak on this for about 7 tries.

[@pyrorealms]

hey doughnuts. you can do the rift multiple times. its just the main mission that cant be done twice.

[@DarkAetherGod_Gaming]

Good Run Doughnuts!!! I just conquered the new Elder Dark Aether last night solo!! Ooooof I've never seen so many Manglers and mimics in one place 😅💀

[@SurprisedDriftwood-fv5rf]

Is there a cooldown period for turning the items gold as me and my team went into tier 3 did one of the summons and got the gold item but when we went to the second one the symbols weren’t there we went back 3 times and they never appeared?

[@kierstenjansen4159]

I got to give credit they actually did a pretty good job with the new dark eather ! It's probably my favorite so far , I hope we're able to get The rainmaker warlord operator from update would be pretty cool ! I love the new smoke signals blueprint I thought it was a pretty cool Easter egg maybe moving forward we're able to unlock stuff like that everyone enjoys it.

[@seang1032]

Thanks for the video. I think all the new schematics are pretty dumb. I didn't think about the increased running speed, exploding headshots, and the other thing being the new schematics but you're right. They'd be much better than something that just let's you walk into a fortress or merc camp and not get shot at

[@Doughnuts]

Maybe season 4?

[@jasonboisclair5682]

I had that red orb crap following me everywhere today and a scorcher boost noise the whole game I had to leave early because it was driving me nuts Great videos by the way boss man

[@kd5zcc]

Had the same happen to me it was annoying

[@codythueringer]

All you need to do if the triangles are shot is to interact with performing the summons with the item.

[@willzavala9890]

Also the wunderwaffe is sooo fun to use in here

[@Doughnuts]

That is definitely a video coming up!

[@Token2699]

Agree! Have a wunderwaffe, vr11 and 1 additional teammate is all you need with selfie and kaz as a back up incase knock downs occur in the game

[@pivorsc]

Lucky you to get all 3 items upgraded in one run, its 3rd day of the patch and i cant upgrade journal cause either ritual is ongoing by someone else, it bugs out eating my purple item, or never spawns a super hound and i have to repeat it all over in next game..

[@Nicklafuego]

Make sure you use interact button to do the summoning. U gotta move around til it pops up otherwise you will lose your item n just get a tool and crystal

[@jeffambrose2072]

Man I just want to say I use the VR-11 a lot and the play you made grabbing that instakill and healing your ACV that was badass that was one of the best plays I have ever saw good stuff my brother you truly are a bad mamah jamma I bet I rewatched that part 5 times the VR-11 is kinda hard to shoot at long distance but you did it perfectly I’m truly truly impressed my friend keep up the amazing content I love watching your stuff

[@robertmacintosh8265]

Drop a decoy in the kill zone should drag zombies away from the interruptors.

[@CrazyShoot]

Love this new dark aether, the rewards might be trash but the challenge makes it fun. Great design and also nice vid bud

[@Doughnuts]

So much fun!

[@RalphdeGoey]

The sergeant barret is like the dog it also revives you 😊

[@operator_sam]

Just an idea. If you shoot 2 symbols and have a friend shoot the third, it might be the best way to get a guaranteed legendary tool and a pak 3 crystal 🤷‍♂️

[@borystacks890]

You can always get both of them even if you shoot all 3 symbols all you have to do is not use any of the objects

[@ericchambers9914]

This was freaking amazing! I'm a relative newcomer to your channel but really enjoy your vids. Keep up the entertaining work!

[@Mike77]

at 13:00 welcome to the club bro. Same thing happened to me I just reset (exfil and infil again) and it worked

[@FameMercury]

See, you got to believe in yourself. You got it. The tyr is good damage but the dps on bosses isnt that good compared to other weapons. The ram 9 and elvorere is real good

[@shampwoo]

The VR-11 sniping was INSANE haha

[@Nicklafuego]

"beautiful people" hahahaha

[@thaerdwikat971]

I went to sigal one with my friend , 2 hours ago and did all 3 contracts but then there is a 3 small spure eggs you need to destroy to finally can destroy a big egg that will spawn a final disaiple boss that is very difficult , we couldn't beat him and just exfil.

[@gibletti]

the rgl and vr-11 might be a good shout for this one by the looks of it

[@CamperN00b47]

I tried soloing the regular version with RGL, went horrible because this new rift spawns a fuckton of specials (especially Mimics) which are largely resistant to explosives. RGL & VR-11 work great but should defo go in as duo or more (or at the very least, with a dog) because you're going to get easily overwhelmed by bazillions of specials.

[@aaronquiambao8134]

That was insane. I just went into the regular dark aether 3 yesterday (3 of us) and we didn't face that many zombies.

[@CoachingOps]

Bro this is so much better than a walk through… make more play throughs!

[@vaskiii]

It's so beautiful 😅 it's like I saw myself when I went there for the first time 🤣🤣🤣

[@Doughnuts]

XD

[@johnnybravo2308]

When killin the sergeant you don't have to use the dog. There is an easier way to do it. Unsure if the vr11 needs to be pack-a-punched but it was pap1 with times I did this. Just shoot the sergeant with vr11 to get rift and grab laptop with stickers

[@JKinard]

I also heard ppl r griefing the pedestals when ppl go to place the items. They can actually remove the item after uve placed it n take it from u.

[@OversizedGhilly]

Yep, had a team camp mine to try and steal them. So sad tbh.

[@JKinard]

@@OversizedGhilly hey!! I was actually referencing ur stream from today! Every time u went to the pedestals that guy kept running back over

[@whitewidow9046]

​@@OversizedGhillyfing animals man

[@channonlucas-desmond]

I actually like that its harder!

[@JuggoJuggo]

Me mad at games: Sinks teeth into controller, alt f4, delete game while growling at the screen. Doughnuts mad at game: I'm actually mad my beautiful people.

[@TTTTyme]

Sentry guns will be key in this one vs Kas grenades based on the layout.

[@OnePunchFro]

This was an extremely awesome and edge-on-my-seat video. I haven't seen you like this before, but you were so based. This sh*t was scary as hell, and you made it work. Superduper awesome to see and I can't wait to see you explore this dark aether and other new content more. WOW!!

[@curtislowe3087]

Need to do escort first to get the nuke drop power up item. That will help immensely for all three contracts

[@eighmanauraview]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the sigil is just the key that you use to open the rift. It's not a place to go nor is it an activity to do.

[@user-vs4rp1qc6q]

It wasnt because you didnt shoot them all, it was because you didnt start the summons......you get a legendary aether tool and flawless everytime you do one of them without doing the summons. Quite cool if you need either.

[@WANNAGOODLAFF]

it was really crazy with zombies. you need a team. we had six and completed all three with 5 minutes to spare. got golden mask, munitions and beret. great video 👍

[@oliverrodgers2958]

The VR11 will 3 tap the Mega Abom contract!

[@rdndesigns]

I had the same thing happen to me when trying to open the gate, all the items were glowing but the gate never opened, will try again tomorrow

[@timdecarlo4969]

I've had games where me and my team can't accept contracts for some reason

[@themechanic6194]

So I was not able to gather all three. The mercenary camp was gone when I tried. So I went to the red zone but I was not able to do any of them. Do u know if u have to have all four in order for it to work?

[@GlintReaper]

I think the ritual for unlocking the portal will not work if the storm has started spreading. We had the same thing happen to us. The summonings do not require that you shoot any of the glowing symbols. Just go to the activation point (where you line up the triangle) and start the summoning. Love the "tutorial" video. I wish the perks from the obelisks were schematics we unlocked. I have one question.. Why don't you get your change from the Wunderfizz? GGz Great video and crazy insane solo gameplay. Love it.

[@jpdub409]

Did the new dark ether solo, it is absolutely insane, also got 3 gas masks and it's schematic and nothing else.

[@funnyguy5767]

I played last night. Don't know how but I did 2 contracts in tier 2 and I got 2 pack 2 crystals and then 1 more pack 2 crystal in a eather nest just in the box with he purple on it. So 3 pack 2 crystals in 1 game.

[@josegranadero7155]

Did this on with friends and it was a pain. Did the spore at the end which almost got us killed but was worth it for the ram 7 blueprint and the reward rift was worth it

[@scarpiru8661]

You are my favorite for zombies and channel in general

[@AnthraXFPS]

I've been in 2 games tonight and the purple hieroglyphics wasn't spawning in, that and a bug with red and purple orbs following you around.

[@luisrodriguez3838]

The zombie mobs dont disappear as good after completing contracts

[@BigBird-]

That was a great run bro. But I have to say it was crap that you didn’t get more high tier loot. You should get a schematic in every tier 4 mission.

[@dankarg119]

How about quick guides for in game on how to beat stuff? Shorts that are the facts for locations so if you forget in the moment you can hit a little reminder?

[@MistaDJ2532]

Favorite video of yours so far, great gameplay and content!

[@AnonYmous-wm6wq]

I’m wonder when someone will find out what to do with the arm, leg, and head aside from using it for power ups

[@nktattz5378]

Well done man that lookd insane haha

[@majesticfurry778]

I went in there unprepared for my first time and it was Elder and it was so hard the lil car blew up in like 30 secs its crazy

[@JKinard]

13:13 I heard that once the storm starts u can’t put the items in the pedestals to unlock the portal

[@tetyliansiwak8600]

I finished all the steps up until i put the items in the pedestals then killed the boss that spawns then it kicked me out and its not letting me get any of the items again i finished union to get the giraffe but now its not letting me get any other items

[@DonDondiego-qb1ec]

When I was trying to attun the relics I kept running into people that had already done it already but weren’t doing it for the relics so the things you shoot just disappeared so I had to keep doing another game. I wasted so much time trying to do this I was about to give up but I finally got it done while wasting 2 scorchers to get their first.

[@jaegermasters10]

This happened to me 3 times. Came back each game and put the relics in and they all glow but nothing happens.

[@xtelor8522]

It did the same thing to me except I couldn’t take my items back and now I have to go through getting them all again

[@famousmoon]

At least you got them back,, when I did it it locked the podiums for the whole match, no one could acess and I lost them all,

[@TheBeschikbaarheid]

every time you step in your car i am thinking about flying or hovering fast doughnuts

[@benjie_playzz4031]

Doughnuts, I’m 90% sure the pedestals didn’t work the first time was because the storm was moving across the map

[@Notoriousbulls330]

You know what, I think so too‼️ I was with a team last night, and we was getting ready to go into the new DA, and SAME THING happened to us... Put all gold items on pedestools and nothing was happening. Storm was also moving across the map too.

[@paulkinsey9153]

No it just doesn't let you open the portal in the same game you get the items gold

[@BigPappiCharles]

@@paulkinsey9153 not true. It happened to me too, but I had my duo throw their items in and it worked. We upgraded the pieces in the same game. I think it’s just super buggy right now

[@user-vs4rp1qc6q]

​@paulkinsey9153 it actually does let you. That's how I did it.

[@thesmokeyone2475]

​@BigPappiCharles that's what I'm thinking cuz I tried putting the items on the pedestal an it didn't work. Had the gold items in my stash for a couple of days now

[@josephruiz9184]

Not being able to open the portal happened to me as well and I think it was due to the storm already moving
