About this game:
Become a giant walking dice and battle to the end of an ever-changing dungeon! Can you escape the cruel whims of Lady Luck?
In this new fast-paced deckbuilding roguelike from Terry Cavanagh (Super Hexagon, VVVVVV), Chipzel, and Marlowe Dobbe, you'll fight monsters, find better loot, and level up your heroes as you work together to take down the Goddess of Fortune, Lady Luck herself. Balance your carefully planned strategies against the unknown of a dice roll.

... 12:20 intentionally starts a fight with 6s for hall of mirrors. Increments dice. You're killing me egg.

[@gabrielgomesbrito]

I was like "hey egg did a pretty clever play, nice". Oh sweet summer's child.

[@conner121100]

I was speechless, come on NL do me a solid and do what I am thinking so I seem like I know things at least once

[@FreyrFox]

He did the sickest play into ruining said sickest play. I was almost impressed

[@jamma246]

Hey, he needed that extra hit this turn rather than the next turn! /s

[@dubtuff64]

My heart seized when he didn't sneeze the 6 at the last fight. I thought he threw.

[@blackdragonxtra]

IKR

[@lukassailer3964]

My heart also sneezed

[@scoutswell]

achoo

[@OhNoTheFace]

Would be better if he did. Annoying his luck keeps saving him from stuff like this

[@topace3000]

That's his secret, he's always throwing

[@futhington]

Egg continually misusing his limit break for a bunch of 1s when he could save it for 2s or 3s is highly minkus.

[@Ryan38475]

skippin 3s, skippin sneezing 6s just ot sneeze 2, not skippin 4s 5s 6s before he had sneeze and dies left

[@Stainlesssteele4]

Watching NL increment a 6 instead of sneeze literally hurt

[@jamma246]

32:05 _"I think that's honestly just the ideal of how that turn goes"_ Jesus wept.

[@Nicktals]

He thinks that's ideal of how that turn goes, after splitting a 2 instead of a 6 in the sneezy.

[@ChBrahm]

Came here to comment this exactly. Dis boi

[@YogiXXL]

I was begging for him to lose after that blunder lol but it always seems to work out in the end for the Egg

[@VictouffeVideos]

yeah i feel like his deck is an easy algorithm: dup and split to gain 2 more dices If you are on strictly more than 3, go to 6, sneezy the 6, then go to 1 If you are on 3 or less do the math to evaluate if you need to increment up to 3 (I think if you are at 1 and you have 4+ dices you increment, and if you are at 2 and you have 5+ dices you increment) Use you hall on mirror on every even early on (like the 2 first turns) So hall of mirrors apart, it's really easy to math this one

[@stefanw6665]

most astonishing for me is that he didnt even notice after putting the 2 in that he could have used a 6 instead

[@pmgroundhog]

HE NEEDS TO LOSE

[@DForSpiD]

Misplays every fight, wins anyway If it's stupid and it works I guess you'll never figure out why it was stupid

[@UM96lol]

Very IQ200 comment, thanks

[@ALittleMessi]

My thoughts exactly. Even when he gets his ass handed to him he rarely changes, look at dark souls

[@TheShut1]

Just freaking wait for Elimination round. I bet those will kick Egg's ass until he learns to stop misplaying. Or he will play it 300 episodes until he gets lucky with build and win it despite learning absolutely nothing. Because he is genius with small brain.

[@MladenNS95]

[@Normg49]

@@TheShut1 Just what I was gonna say, the elimination rounds might make him stop playing this game

[@ALittleMessi]

I think once NL played the first episode of thief, he's been stuck on "make as many 1s as possible" mode even if it doesn't fit

[@castafiorept7309]

So much happened in this episode, I don't even know where to start. The phantom lockpick, the pea shooter misplays, NL doing math, actually using hall of mirrors and then forsaking it, damn Edit: adding limit break and splitting misplays too. He can't keep getting away with it, the egg has gone rotten. Btw luv the series enelle

[@ALittleMessi]

Incrementing a 6 instead of sneeze on the boss

[@williammitchell6254]

32:04 didnt sneeze the six

[@greatbrandini3967]

Wow, sneeze simultaneously being insanely powerful, but insanely misplayed this game hurt me

[@fallouthirteen]

That's how overpowered it is for this episode. Even NL can't misplay it so badly that it ruins the run.

[@jacobc.2456]

Why. Why does he hate hall of mirrors so much. Somebody please tell me, my heart can't take it.

[@gabrielyamatoy.matodraw5570]

Most of the time it suck with the thief since its too slow imo

[@jacobc.2456]

Maybe situationally. But it also gives you more of the singular resource in the game which is dice. And with these rules you already know what it’s going to roll as

[@VcentGplaysGames]

@@gabrielyamatoy.matodraw5570 on this run he literally gets a ton of 6's though. He could easily spend 1 turn putting them into HOM and then have lethal on the next turn because he has a ton of dice AND reusable attacks. Its quite honestly one of the best runs to use it for the thief since the new dice are guaranteed to be a specific number.

[@alexchronicalx1232]

What I hate most about this episode is that he went through the trouble of upgrading hall of mirrors and occasionally use it. What was even the point of it XD

[@ChibiRuah]

@@gabrielyamatoy.matodraw5570 on turn 1, using one dice for +1 dice is a good trade, given that he used that dice to do 2 damage. Yes without set up it can be bad. But NL had the set up and he should know that one dice every turn is worth more than 2 damage on turn 1.

[@MrLightcrusader]

egg. my dude. im losing faith in you. i never wanted someone so badly to lose at the end.

[@comoestanquepaso123]

This has to be the most infuratiang episode of this series so far, Im actually mad he still won based on how bad he played

[@i_am_ergo]

Skill-based game.

[@leeno_numbers]

The mad man incremented the six instead of putting it into sneezy

[@jpkuro5688]

at the end: "the ideal way it goes", why does Northenlion keep forgetting to sneeze the 6, if you just gonna roll past anyway get as many dice as possible. He made the fight so much more nerve wrecking then needed

[@Shamax0]

Thanks for the videos NL, i bought the game because of you (as with most of my roguelites) and I'm having a blast with it. This thief episode is breaking my balls though, most runs I can't get past the second floor, so hang in there!

[@infactanoose]

Egg’s misplays have caused a giant spilt in this community. We must all come together and force Egg to play through the rest of 1001 Spikes!

[@lilwage6910]

Stop duplicating 1s for Dagger when you also have 2s available to dupe, 1+1 is smaller than 2+1 dummy I think NL got his wires mixed up because splitting a 2 is better than using it as is, but that's only the case with splitting, not duping.

[@314Marvin]

Also splitting a 1 is better than splitting a 2, so there was definitely some wire crossing

[@anthonyduane4815]

Northern “Ideally I’d sneeze a 2 instead of a 6” lion

[@Cyberw4y]

Spatula could literally make a 1 into 5 extra ones with Sneeze, but egg instead chose to wear his horse blinkers that day.

[@TaggedByTim]

I'm over here making flowcharts and excel spreadsheets to make sure I use all my dice perfectly and I still loose but this man can do whatever it is he's doing and still win. This makes my blood boil.

[@doommaker4000]

I understand

[@ALittleMessi]

Stramer luck

[@gillesdeleuze7065]

Hahaha I understand this so well. Took me like 4 tries to win this episode when I was playing (admittedly it was my own fault for undervaluing the upgraded dagger) so seeing NL take this with all the misplays on his first run makes me hurt slightly. Still love the content though!

[@12awsomevideos]

My God all the misplays this episode had me hurting so badly, could have played this way better but at least he won

[@gabrielyamatoy.matodraw5570]

Give him some slack its the first time he's playing that challenge without stopping and think for 30+ minutes on the first fight like you. He did great without knowing whats the optimal way to play it. Like come on he's playing on past knowledge and instict

[@doommaker4000]

[@logangantner3863]

Misplaying + Victory = Worst case scenario. At least if he lost he would need to learn from his mistakes. The fact that he wins with plays like this indicates that the challenges are too generous.

[@ivyscripting7240]

I haven’t been following this series as much but honestly it’s a lot of fun watching you play! I feel after a while you figured out a solid strategy and even when it got tough you stuck to your plan. Overall a really fun episode.

[@loveluclins]

That moment at the end again aiofe he incremented off sixes without sneezing made me look away. Amazed he still killed her lol.

[@CrymsynMoon]

Yikes that last turn. Splitting a 2 into two 1's over a 6 into six 1's. I know the game isn't punishing these misplays, but I'm just bracing myself for the Dicey Dungeons ascension 20 six month losing streaks.

[@MooseXL22]

My man scared me a bit not sneezing a 6 on the last turn. But the egg prevails!

[@noatiendoboludos]

31:42 SPLIT A SIX WITH SNEEZE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGH NOOOOOO THE PAIN

[@Delemaroth]

The last turn when he didn't split a 6, my heart dropped.

[@Dynamod123]

This game is clearly way too forgiving

[@rusiamonky7670]

Love how in this game with the right episode/character/combination even the most useless or subpar item can become really good, like Sneeze+Dagger or Pea Shooter+Crowbar

[@yodagaming3252]

12:35 enelle says he’s going to start on 6 to use hall of mirrors then makes it so that he can’t use it

[@JimmyZSnow]

God I love the egg, misplays and all

[@PolarKnight404]

This game skill cap is too low, i mean nl makes endless mossplays and still wins all the time

[@goldenprataclaw7682]

the plays in this episode hurts me on a emotional level

[@its_kuro]

"Do we want to be at 6 for the next fight? Yes so we can use hall of mirrors turn 1" *Completely forgets about hall of mirrors so he can dump all his dice into dagger* oh eggboi..

[@TheThursty100]

Every time he split the dice into ones before circling around to the ones, especially in the boss fight, my heart sneezed And then he sneezed at a damn 2 after circling through a damn 6. What the fuck egg? "this was a bit scary mathematically" MY FOOT IT WAS!

[@TruthBeyondTheTruth]

Early on the 6s and 5s are still better than 1s with pea shooter, but I guess you do get to the 2s and 3s faster that way

[@halfwing3306]

Theres no point in getting to th 2's faster. since 5 and 6 with pea shooter are just like 2s. its 4's(mostly) and 1's (weaker but usable) that are the bad rolls. but NL won't re-adjust his thinking from pea shooter bad, even when he's wishing for 2's and pea shooter turns 5/6 into 2's

[@MagikarpsSplash]

@@halfwing3306 yeah its just like StS all over again.

[@DoctorShroom]

And then an upgraded Pea Shooter does literally as much as a max damage upgraded dagger, and it's useable with later dice AND he got Crowbar, AND (at least one) other Countdown Equipment.

[@fallouthirteen]

If it were anyone else you'd figure "oh he's trying to do the most roundabout and closest to just lethal play on that final turn for style", but seeing how it's NL you know "that's really the best play he could think of there."

[@BigSchim]

When he didn't sneeze the 6 at the end.

[@infinitytower8957]

21:35 ah yes, let me just trade a lockpick for the flu

[@predragmarkovic2682]

This is such a big brain game

[@realityisenough]

I literally had to turn away when he was meticulously strategizing about his last turn and just freggen skipped the sneezy with the 6, I don't know if he subconsiously does it to get people worked up or what

[@knackname6053]

He won anyways but missing the sneeze at 31:42 absolutely killed me. So glad he won though

[@kingbigyoshi4685]

He was going for the "ideal" turn

[@chadowsrikatemo4494]

Does not split 6 into ones, "i think this was the ideal turn"

[@trevarcole4445]

Nl ive been watching your vids since the beginning of rebirth and i gotta say you are the most entertaining youtuber i have ever watched every video you bring us something new from all the laughs to all the cringey moments i truly appreciate your work and i hope you continue to grow your channel as you have the past few years because you deserve more subscribers than pewdiepie hands down sincerely nl love you ❤

[@goro158]

4 5s, able to do 8 damage with peashooter (if not more splitting one of the 5s) - rerolls to 3 1s to do 3 damage with dagger instead...

[@NICOTHATKID]

The lack of hall of mirrors displeases me

[@countcock5694]

I actually thought Egg was going to lose because he didn't sneeze the 6.

[@PraiseTheSun_]

I died a little when he uptick 6's into 1's before using Hall of Mirrors.

[@ChibiRuah]

yea NL does that too much

[@_roy_1_me643]

I’m pretty sure near the start your fives and sixes are essentially twos when you’ve got pea shooter

[@Ronin11111111]

This game really shows there are many solutions to any problem

[@laxur1312]

You underrate Hall of Mirrors so much!

[@WollyChaps]

Enelle - You increment if you have dice that will move up in value by 2, so there's value in taking a 1 to a 3 because you get that lost dmg back in your incremented ones.

[@tracyh5751]

highly cursed boss fight.

[@wademasters2344]

Your win/loss ration is too much brother

[@bobhogan8210]

Thanks for the company

[@3G_Bloke]

wow. the level of math and logic this man has is immeasurable and its not because he has too much of it.

[@MaleTestosterone]

this episode hurt me everytime he used a bunch of ones on dagger instead of upticking for max damage

[@AsterSea]

That last "ideal" turn wasn't so great, but it got the job done, I suppose.

[@maxreichard6164]

He can't keep getting away with these misplays...

[@cppilgram]

Ok I'm gonna scream. Egg, when you sneeze a dice and then increment you end up keeping all those dice. Why would you increment a 6 without sneezing it first?!? On the boss?!?

[@KochDerDamonen]

So many missed Hall of Mirrors chances, especially after upgrading dagger and caring about more raw dice!

[@lifelesslife2651]

snake eye charm is equal to just rolling ones because you would only use it for dice above three so in theory its 2 3+ dice for 2 ones

[@grapesoftime]

Hall of mirrors plus an upgraded teleport makes this run OP btw, just saying for future reference

[@maltseasalt]

Egg the miss plays QQ

[@Mrpear234]

Ugh! ... math, I was lost this whole video but it was nice to see NL in his element and happy. Good to see comments understood enough to see mistakes :)

[@ALittleMessi]

He may be happy, but this is the farthest thing from his element

[@MellowJelly]

I'm with it, I'm hip... tucka tucka tucka tucka tucka...

[@ChibiRuah]

NL small tip but instead of spliting 1's in to more 1's, its worth trying to split a dice that is higher in to something that can fit in to dagger, worst case you get a 1 and a number over 4 and you can use the one any ways. Best case you get 2 3's and do 8 damage

[@liammorris9372]

25:43 NL could have done 40 damage turn 1 if he upticked two dice, instead he did 24 :P

[@150booyadragon]

Why do you sneeze 4s or 2s while just not ever putting 6s in

[@danwulfe]

When Egg does 24 dmg instead of 33.

[@viziroth]

big brain nl keeps disrespecting the mirrors

[@michaelbarnes1169]

Looks like he seemed to forget that a spilt 6 could get some much faster kills

[@ShadowChaosKrystal]

Parts of this hurt to watch. He's so fun but my word, SPLIT THE SIXES PLZ

[@just_clayton7633]

He played that last fight horribly

[@cptKamina]

Fucking hell, I despaired over that challenge. I guess it just looks like NL is "bad" from afar, he makes it on the god damn first try. Congrats, Egg :D

[@ronaldwangdra9675]

That last turn was too close for comfort. Sneezing the 6 would've been the optimal play.

[@trevorstillson8126]

He returns!

[@trevorstillson8126]

Why do you ever use trips on 1s if you're not Going to kill the enemy

Hi there, Northernlion. It’s me, a random viewer. I just wanted you to know that in the suggestion feed on this video, the top result was a video titled “The Egg” by the KZbin channel Kurzgesagt. That’s all, have a nice day.

[@shanadir]

Why would you put a 4 in sneezy and then increment? Increment to six, then split is better, right?

[@jamesthor4225]

When are you gonna make a playlist out of this

[@queenofsprinkles]

I prefer official channel playlists, but VeckrO is doing God’s work in the meantime.

[@jamesthor4225]

NL you value Hall of Mirrors less than you should. Earlier you use it, greater the return.

[@aman12214]

Why wouldn't you hall of mirrors turn 1 on the keymaster

[@gabrielyamatoy.matodraw5570]

But the game says otherwise... why so mad

[@alexanderwales7870]

Good run, especially after it came together. I think you were a little too ready to split (Sneeze) lower numbers instead of higher numbers, but if it works, it works.

[@ALittleMessi]

He had a lot of bad plays but stumbled into the w anyway

[@ElPared]

The math for this episode is insteresting; how often is it beneficial to increment instead of just attacking? If your Dagger is unupgraded it's always worth it to increment if your number of Dice is greater than or equal to the incremented roll. IE if you have four 2s and you increment that to three 3s, you'll do 9 damage instead of 8. Upgraded though, you'd do 8+4=12 with 2s and 9+3=12 so the damage is the same, so it's only beneficial if you end up with a greater number of dice than the value of the dice roll. 1s seem to be the exception in that if you uptick two 1s to a single 2 you always to >= damage. The only time it's not worth it to Increment is on a 3, 4, or 5. It's always worth it on a 6 with an upgraded Dagger unless you end up with no dice, or less than 2 dice unupgraded (with starting equipment). Needless to say NL did not stop to ponder this and succeeded despite this mistake.

[@brandongaunt8336]

Yo NL, Kunai upgrades to Max 2 instead of only allowing ones and it allows you to ball outta control with it. The fact that you can manipulate the outcome of the dice paired with Lockpick, Counterfeit, an upgraded Dagger, Freaking HACKSAW, and gaining more dice as you level up you can destroy episode three. TL:DR - Picking hall of mirrors over kunai in an episode where you can control the dice, physically hurt.

[@ALittleMessi]

Let's be honest, he still would only use 8000 1s on it and never pick up hacksaw

[@patrickbuchanan5890]

I mean you won but why split on the twos and not on sixes when you go around the numbers? Its 4 more dice that would become 2s brother

[@Lajinn6]

Honestly if you had died in the last fight it would've been just deserts for not sneezing the 6

[@wanderer7965]

[@Updrift76]

okay now this episode, was not it. This whole episode hurt me immensely

[@larrydigger461]

Shitting on pea shooter early made no sense. It makes 5s and 6s essentially equal to 2s. Two damage per dice.

[@relatedreality]

Could split a 6. Instead increments to split a 2. Ok

[@1995baza]

The tag word should have been missplays not splits. It was more descriptive of the gameplay.

[@biffwellington7577]

Man, now I know how all the people who were hurt by misplays in slay the spire felt. I never even noticed the misplays in that. But this is simple enough that they are super obvious. As such I think misplays in dicey may hurt the viewer more.
