Balance your carefully planned strategies against the unknown of a dice roll.

NL is very good at not paying attention to whats happening in the game and then thinking the game is being unfair aka 10:30

[@KennArc]

34:12

[@nemeanlyan7918]

On the contrary, I think he’s pretty good at the game. I’m impatient so I wouldn’t do anywhere near as well as he had

[@brakintelektualny7291]

You have to be Good at something

[@ALittleMessi]

@@nemeanlyan7918 he's awful at the game. Luck carried him through episodes 1-3, now he has to be competent

[@WuxianTec]

He sees the game as he wants to see it, not as it is.

[@briansshare]

Him swapping Cloak instead of Chisel gave me a RARE backseat rage

[@nintoforgi]

Jim Geckon His general wild mishandling of Chisel was this for me. So many times it not only could have been used, but absolutely should have been used.

[@MarkosRagnos]

*complains that gear is all straight damage and status effects suck more* Gets rid of status effect reducer for raw damage

[@sokirosokiro4215]

I'm feeling exactly the same way. Things don't usually bother me that much.

[@typoko]

Don't worry. I'm sure he will use it until the end in an epic manner. Right?

[@absoluteatrocity4019]

RIGHT? THE WRECKING BALL SYNERGY WAS ABSOLUTLEY KILLING IT AND HE CHOSE TO KEEP CHISEL AND NEVER USE IT WHEN THERE WERE AMPLE OPPORTUNITIES. IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING

[@CL32582]

Refuses to use chisel. Keeps chisel in equipment and removes the item he actually used.

[@Cgreen123]

I’m not gonna lie, the slime on floor one is op as shit. I don’t blame NL for resetting on the fight. Edit: Is doing perfectly fine, “I just feel like the run is not that good.”

[@IncomingNumbers]

He'll never understand crowbar, but at least we have this

[@OfficialPikadex]

Slime seems beyond overpowered as a first-floor enemy with Parallel Universe Poison, but otherwise this mode is pretty cool! I imagine Tetraphobia+ would synergize incredibly well with PU's weaken, but that's all I can think of.

[@absoluteatrocity4019]

Yeah the amazing synergy NL had this episode was kinda taken for granted. He didnt immediately see the use of tetra phobia and decided to remove cloak instead of chisel?? When that would jave made an amazing synergy

[@TheRealPunkachu]

It also works with PU thorns.

[@Qril]

@Rose Dickinson Instead of dealing damage to opp when hit, you heal the thorn amount.

[@Daenym]

If you're never going to use Chisel, just replace it with anything with a countdown aka free damage

[@lettuce141]

FYI when episode 5 "curse" gives your enemy dice, like at 28:50, those are actually your dice and you can use them like you normally would.

[@tracyh5751]

wait you can still grab them even though they are the enemy's?

[@Mangiff]

I've never seen a man so desperately avoid any and all things that would benefit from wrecking ball

[@BrianCohen]

That fight against Gargoyle when you used Blast Chiller twice was such a galaxy brain move

[@fallouthirteen]

Poison does seem kind of overpowered (at least early) with this setting. It really seems like it should clear as much poison and you feed the counter rather than just lower the damage you take on that one turn. It's just an insanely much better version of standard rules "shock" effect isn't it?

[@JordanBl]

Okay, so I need to question why NL replaced Cloak with Tetraphobia when he literally didn't use Chisel at all for the past *almost every fight.* Sure, Cloak doesn't seem that great, but it at least does something. Okay, so like two fights later Chisel actually did something useful, I retract my statement.

[@ryannapohaku138]

I am from a different universe. In my universe "NL" goes to the super space marine fight and loses anyway

[@GygasDistruttore]

I am from yet another universe. In my universe the third floor has a Super Sneezy battle. After that lost NL kinda becomes a statue of salt and stops updating. PLS, give us your northenlion: it has been 3000 years....

[@MrRafalel]

yeah sure, ignore plaster with a wreking ball run. no need to get free hp every turn

[@icantnotthink3282]

For anyone curious, Tetraphobia+ becomes essentially double or triple damage with PU!Weaken, which deals 1 extra damage for every weaken. During 1x4 into 2x4 or 3x4 etc etc etc

[@BigSchim]

This run is so odd. My man hates nudge. He then grabs chisel, by his own account from last episode, "Oh good, everybody's favorite, a worse nudge" (well almost), never uses it, falls in love with wrecking ball, REMOVES the thing protecting him from status, what he was complaining about for 5 minutes in the intro, and keeps the item he never uses.

[@xaloriandndplaylist8499]

Chisel is more fixing. He actually used a little bit. It's easy to judge with insight but it was the right move. Chisel upgrade his chance of getting a 4 or 3 which are critical and the status evade equipment was literally unecessary.

[@vietrofl]

Skrim he likes the idea of having extra dice

[@CastafioreOnYoutube]

Slime = instant reset Edit: I imagine Tetraphobia+ shines with weaken stacks, essentially goes from 5 dmg with 1 weaken to 8 dmg, 6 -> 12 with 2 weaken, etc.

[@nullspaceindustries]

Finally going for a crowbar run and it's technically not even crowbar EDIT: aaaand he didn't buy the plaster, I can see this is gonna go well

[@Noiztox]

NL's mistakes literally give me anxiety. I know that means I have a problem and not him, but still.

[@2playusout]

He finally did it. The absolute madman pulled the plug on isaac

[@sokirosokiro4215]

Yeah, let's not keep cloak and instead just keep chisel in our repertoire just to sit there and be pretty.

[@Seyiall]

Yep, alternate universe slime might be the most ridiculous enemy in the game, literally unbeatable as the Warrior at Level 1 unless it rolls utterly abysmal.

[@joshuafox8856]

I had to think about it but upgraded tetraphobia would be great against enemies with dodge... Like when fighting Beeatrice!

[@vietrofl]

Joshua Fox also synergy with weaken

[@LordRunty]

Egg still egging, misunderstanding poison 2.0, not paying attention to the enemy's moves and wondering why they didn't get their equipment burnt, wondrous misplays leading to dealing way less damage than he otherwise would have, still not forgetting weaknesses mean double damage (and when he accidentally does, puts it down to his skills). Never change egg. Never change

[@Euphorya]

NL complains he doesn’t have a crazy powerful synergy literally on the first floor.

[@laxur1312]

33:18 and yet you yeeted the actual Chisel as soon as you could XD

[@joshuawentworth7426]

Dude a weaken? build with tetraphobia+ would be insane

[@Walican132]

Joshua Wentworth how so I’m not understanding.

[@777tavarius]

@@Walican132 Weaken? in episode 5 makes it so your attacks are increased by however many weaken? stacks the enemy has! So if you did 1 damage 4 times and the enemy had 3 weaken? it would actually be doing 4 damage 4 times, which is BUSTED for only needing a four pip to start.

[@dacova1e]

Love watching NL realize things he realized in the last episode.

[@godlyvex5543]

12:01 I think you mean "it could do 4, or alternatively, 2 and 2... and 1." By Splitting it and putting one of the 2s into headbutt, you'd have 6 dice for nunchucks instead of 5. As is, you gave up one free damage.

[@minmaxd_]

WHY DOES HE REFUSE TO USE CHISEL!?

[@fallouthirteen]

It's like he thought it says "max 2" instead of min 2. Just refusing to put his 6s in there and instead putting them into the thing on a 2 counter.

[@disinterBaz]

NL is right about "Poison?" debuff being stupid. I'm glad that they've fixed it now.

[@ALittleMessi]

This man cannot stand losing in this game. I'm pretty sure his stupid luck early on, which led to undeserved wins, has given him a skewed perspective

[@d4670]

Biggest backseat rage: taking out cloak instead of chisel

[@dragonqueenniisan4122]

I know this might seem minor, but when he put a 6 into a 2 countdown slot when he had 4 fours hurt me. That would have been 4 more damage and another round of freeze if he put 2 of the 1s in then the 6 and the other 2 1s. But no, he didnt, and I almost cried. It was so painful to watch, some of these misplays are honestly to obvious. The only thing I can say is that Icecream OP when you dont have gear. Now that is a true test of RNG that you cant work around.

[@cry_stain]

what a cool build

[@maxwilliams9774]

“Whatever we use this burned dice in we won’t be able to use.”

[@1995baza]

You need those galexy brain plays. When you're all frozen, spatula, get 2 6s, split a 6 into 3 3, us a 3 and 1 in chucks to get back 2s to keep the streak, use the other 6 in blast

[@tracyh5751]

You cannot use a 1 in splitula. Even when upgraded it requires a dice 3 or greater.

[@Le0pwn]

Making the damage happen over multiple attacks would be good for getting rid of dodge.

[@kylethescientist]

Parallel Universe's weaken also gives you +1 damage for each attack. So if you had even 1 weaken, your tetraphobia does 4x(1+1)=8 damage. If you had 5 weaken on them, that's 4x(5+1)=24 damage

[@TheMapleMerchant]

Here's my midway angury reaction; IF YOURE NOT GUNNA UZ CHIZEL PUT IT AWAY MY GUY PLZ

[@TheMapleMerchant]

COMMIT TO A BUILD

[@TheMapleMerchant]

I STILL LOVE YOU THO

32:38 what a play eggy, cerebral cortex at full capacity

[@Mike91975]

The icecream thing is just broken, what just stupid game design.

[@icantnotthink3282]

Genuine question,how do you beat the ice cream slime? It genuinely seems impossible

[@ExtremelyRunToTheHills6969]

Get lucky

[@Zebo12345678]

I can think of two ways. First, get lucky and have him not inflict poison twice on the first turn or two. He becomes basically impossible once your poison counter is too high. The other way is if there's a chest behind the _other_ enemy, get equipment from that first.

[@Mrpear234]

Slime is strong against poison. ... No slime for NL!

[@neozanmato]

This is a really good video to show children who think reading is dumb. XD

[@CUSTOMCHARACTER]

NL did the same thing Baer did: not try the dice that got moved to the top from being Curse?d. D:

[@tappy8741]

To be fair neither did I.

[@Mantosasto]

Man that ice cone at the start is so broken.

[@KennArc]

You can slime the slime enemy as the thief, but even then you still need the enemy to roll badly, kinda poop

[@strifera]

You can also run from the fight if you get a bad turn 1 and try again. But that would require NL finding the run button.

[@Regigigas777]

Thank God Eggboi went the countdown wrecking ball route

[@DocDoesGamingTV]

When he pops, he *pops*

[@madisonbryant4417]

This was a good run

[@Daenym]

That gargoyle fight though

[@Whothefisalice]

I am prepared for a weird episode, lets go egg

[@NroShock]

NLs gonna win.. Whether he wants to or not!

[@loveluclins]

lad using chisel over having the OP status shield xD

[@cookirox]

23.14 Not taking the trade Is an absolute galaxy brain move, at least guaranteed 10 damage a for 1 dice while keeping nunchucks my dude is so high

[@TwistedAttitudes]

Why would you get tilted at the first enemy being broken? You just... Restart. It's not like it ruined a run you were part way through

[@TwistedAttitudes]

NL you do realize that writing off episode 5 for the thief as too hard before actually losing a run, after saying that episode 5 as the warrior was perfect and had you hitting the mojo makes you sound like someone going "The game's only good if I ace it on the first try"

[@carboniris]

alt universe slime seriously needs to be fixed

[@TheMrTangamandapio]

my IQ is not high enough to understand why upgraded tetraphobia makes any difference compared to regular tetraphobia.

[@vietrofl]

Leo C. Synergy with weaken and combat enemy’s dodge

[@kunevv]

Dude pay more attention to what's going on - on first run of the video - almost every turn is kindda wrong so you put extra strain on yourself. Turns like - 7 poison and even needed for 2 poison - you have 6 and 2 - do not put 2 on poison and 6 on even slime ball... do the opposite - 4 dmg taken extra. Same as next turn missing an attack.

this game really tarnishes it's self with some of the garbage fights it has, perma blind octo on act 4, 100% luck ice cream on this act, Cornelius can kill you kinda easily with literally nothing you can do occasionally

[@infactanoose]

Hopefully you don’t get softlocked by poison again! Seriously, WHY DOES THAT EXIST Edit: It happened again! WHAT GREAT GAME DESIGN I love NL, but he frustrates me so much! He says he’s not tilted or complaining, but then he calls out the game on its flaws! Just say the game isn’t good.
