Northernlion Plays: Rogue Legacy! [Episode 7]

[@SaganTheKhajiit]

The video description made me happy.

[@jamesmason01]

I'm really enjoying this Let's Play series - I watched 1-3 on Tuesday night and then 4 as soon as I got up on Wednesday and downloaded 5-6 to watch on the train. If anything I was disappointed that it hadn't continued, but I didn't realise this was so recent. I'm glad to see more stuff up. I don't normally watch this sort of thing but I'm really enjoying it and planning to grab the game as soon as I can.

[@MagicManJoseJose]

"It gives a little armor" It gives 18! You only have 27. That's a 66% increase in armor. That is in no way a little...

[@mcfcmaustin]

The fact that you have such a large vocabulary makes this series (and all of your videos) so much more enjoyable! PS. Not saying it isn't enjoyable otherwise, it just adds to the entertainment.

[@BlindSnipingPro]

Here's a few little tips and facts that may help you, NL. Mimic portraits have a darker, thicker outline than the normal ones. Chicken heals you for 10% of your total hp. Most of those armor you swapped your blood armor for did not give you extra health, but blood armor takes away 30 per piece. Hope these help you out and I'm loving the series.

[@chadrahman7023]

If you go back to the left than you can upgrade more

[@seturon]

this is a huge tip for you NL. While in the Maya, check your map when in a room. Treasure will show up on the map, but mimics won't. That is how you can tell if the treasure you're about to jump on top of won't bite you in the ass.

[@yurisorcerer]

I agree with your thing about learning how to play the game as you go along. I genuinely enjoy watching people do that and the degree that people DON'T let you do that is kinda one of the issues I have with the comments on your CK2 videos.

[@Ketsuekisan]

17:47 "This is the downside of the miner, that we're gonna get less gold from every kill." I don't even know what to say. You're playing as your favorite class, you think you're a different class, you commented on losing some of your money to the architect, then you said you're getting less money because of a class you're not even playing the does literally the opposite of give you less money. You've got some kind of "anti-learning" power, retaining the opposite knowledge of what you learned.

[@Jabelist]

NL, thank you for uploading these back on schedule (earlier in the day)... These are my lunch entertainment at work ;)

[@fuzzylemurs]

Ya know... I purchased this game because of this lets play, but about 15 minutes in I realized I enjoyed watching you play it more than playing myself, so lets get more of these lets plays!

[@Istaysideway]

listening to northernlion to start off my day lol. these videos crack me up

[@sillychinas]

When you upload rogue legacy, it's the highlight of my day

[@maybeaspider3456]

NL, when you were equipping those bracers, taking off the blood bracers gave you 30 health back. The bracers you bought only gave you armor which is still the second most useful defense stat but just so you know that not all that stuff gave you tons of health.

[@PowaTwinky]

NL: Thats the problem with playing the miner, you get less gold from monsters and chests. Miners get 30% more. A NL Story

[@roccodv13]

NL, where you play as the Miner, press the tab button when you enter the castle to view the locations of all the fairy chest and gold chest to farm for gold!

[@Chief_Master_Guru]

fun fact of the day: while the paladin can shield away proectiles, the barbarian has a bit of a leg up in this department the shout from the barbarian not only pushes enemies away, itll also clear the area of any and all projectiles next time you are in a pinch as the barbarian, the shout will get you out of most dangerous positions

[@Gach0r]

Good guy Northernlion finally uploads this...been waiting whole day for this :D

[@paintballcraka]

well this was good timing love this series

[@KnucklesGum]

The northernlion metric system: A tonne = 10% of total Just a little bit: over 50% of total

[@Skyshattered]

"That will be handy for going through the chest" - I love those Isaac slips that appear in non-Isaac videos. It's charming and is proof Isaac is firmly entrenched as a part of your psyche.

[@JuddFtw]

NL, there is always going to be a teleporter room inbetween the castle and the maya (and the other areas) in the teleporter room the left statue gives health and the right statue gives mana.

[@jackjack3137]

The teleporters are the marker rooms to the entrance to the different areas.

[@gmkarid]

Two things : 1) As a paladin, you can hold down then press the shield to become a statue (costs mana per sec though) 2) New game plus +2. Thats a challenge! (I can't wait to see NL try this)

[@Buli0n]

When will he upgrade charon?

[@Golddanboy]

if you hit tab when you first enter a room you can see if theres a chest at the end, if theres a chest icon then its worth going in, if you see a chest without an icon on your map then you know its a mimic.

[@ChaosCh33s3]

I so love this series!

[@PYNEAPPL3]

I wouldnt say it was better, its just refreshing to have a new entertaining different series :D

[@TheRaon75]

northernlion. 16:19 This room has a chest on the top. Use the map (not the minimap), you can see where there are chests (in the rooms where you have already been which is handy for room like that or just large rooms to see if they are worthwile to do) and you can easily see where to go next. You can also see if a room is a dead end or not.

[@spartan11111118]

That "Loss of magic" he described with TBOI is so true T_T happened to me with minecraft.

[@FiremanJR02]

Little tip: there is always a teleporter one room before a new area. Keep that in mind!

[@RokasLeonavicius-o2r]

I LOVE YOU NORTHERLION you made my day

[@xoranes2748]

Little life steal - The Northernlion Story Now in every Cinema of your choice.

[@KenichiYagyuMC]

im not sure if you happened to notice it so fast but if you decide you can't buy any gear or item you can move to the left and it will take you back to the castle upgrades. Like it up so he can see this.

[@MrStsveins]

You really should get the air dash(like in MMX) it helps tremendously in dealing with those titan guard as well as getting fairy chests

[@Spatch_]

It raises his total level, which raises the cost of other perks that he wants much more.

[@h3x_lad]

NL, mimicks and doomtraits can be easily recognized, because they twitch from time to time.

[@DairunCates]

Actually, that causes EVERYTHING to go up in price unless it's equipment or runes. So, if it's an upgrade you won't necessarily use immediately, it makes getting the important upgrades easier.

[@SubparDragoon]

NL, up is alway maya, down is Always darkness, right is Always forrest. And when you encounter a teleporter with a bunch of statues it means there is a new area in one of the directions.

[@LuciannaDeCelio]

I think the best way to get gold may be to upgrade the Miner to the Spelunker & equipt as many Bounty Runes as possible with max Gold Up & max Haggle. It night also be prudent to have Dwarfism, too. No need to lock down the castle, either.

[@Toki-Woki]

This is a great game do MOAR

[@wiredup13]

NL, The Vampire gear lowers your HP to give you vampirism. The 30 hp you would be getting back is the HP that the vampire gear took away.

[@newrhea13]

I have been waiting northern lion..... this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than binding of issac

[@FreyrFox]

all doom paintings face left.

[@YtsJaccoG]

you can go to the top of those rooms where the fire bolts down from the sky, riches are to be found!

[@warsbro]

This is kind of hilarious, I just finished watching episode 6, and then this gets posted

[@Invalve]

To get to the character on the far left you need to go move left on the architect icon

[@xXJasonMakiXx]

NL hit back on the controller to view the map, helps a lot with planning where you want to go

[@segufix]

get more new things in the manor to unlock more of the tech tree, and start putting money into armor. It gives really heavy damage reduction, which stacks super good with your lifesteal.

[@TheRaon75]

Northernlion. get a rune for every piece of equipment. I reccomend 3 jump runes in total because they help an incredible amount with avoiding damage. There are also 5 gold worth upgrades on the right techtree in the manor. Before every area there is a teleporter room and every teleporter room has 2 statues which always contain a turkey leg and a mana potion. So save those for when you need them. There are sometimes 2 ways to a new area and only one of those will be a tp room then.

[@kinkkku]

Been waiting for this whole day :D

[@Jukantos]

i would STRONGLY recommend you to upgrade the miner (you'll know the hidden passive effect that upgrade has) and to buy the gold gain ratio upgrade every single time you can because it just creates a TON more gold in ALL your future runs.

[@CursedNobleman]

The miniboss rooms with the super enemies marked by a ? tend to drop third row items that scale. Blood, Sage, Retaliation, Holy, and Dark. Based on level.

[@swampfire54]

fav series right now ;P

[@Urthopify]

Not to mention unlock and upgrade the rest of the classes :P Spellthief/Spellsword is just soooo good.

[@jupiterscock0]

There is a reason, actually. Everytime you buy anything in the shop, all the other upgrades get more expensive. So you must choose carefully which one you want.

[@Darkkfated]

You'd think the large MANOR sign with big

[@godlambshankwithgrave5311]

do you know that go back to the upgrade castle screen by walk to the left from the blacksmith

[@Choinaification]

Upgrade "gold gain up." Helps a lot when farming for gold.

[@grimmDgalactus]

NL great run, make sure you keep remembering the enemy patterns because sometimes it seems like you forget, ya big dingus.

[@Tear0fS0rr0w]

I beat the Slime with a Spellsword, but I had blade wall. Because of the mechanics behind it, it can't do much besides jump into the blade wall that you stick in front of it.

[@TheRaon75]

Protip northernlion. If you are in a hard area and have multiple ways to go, then just go in all of them and immediately go back. Then you can look at the map and see which ones have chests and which ones don't.

[@gerald216]

Hey NL and anyone else i saw on a diffrent lets play that you can switch the down+x attack to just down so its easier to use.

[@reaper1357]

Here's a good tip for you. Don't use the architect if you aren't doing boss runs. Its easy to progress through the castle and if you are just exploring its not worth the lessened amount of gold. Also, if you are confident in your ability to kill the boss try finding it without using the architect because you get substantially less gold from killing it. One last thing, chests do not respawn if you use the architect. Good luck.

[@ZoloeRose]

I hope you know, when you leave the castle building screen thing, you can still go back if you have left over gold. Just go out the left of the screen. :P

[@OllyMay95]

I think you have to tailor gear to your characters ability, for example if you want to take on a boss take a high damage character with high damage gear, if you want to get loads of gold take gold increasing gear with a gold increasing character

[@chrisjl2000]

Is there a money = health rune? Possibly health is equal to 10% of your gold or collecting gold gives back health? If not already in the game should it be in an update?

[@tehlastflax]

Oh god, shackleton ER is making a comeback!

[@serania1]

its in your best interest to get all the rune because went you have all of them fay chest give stat bonus instead of rune

[@Bionoton]

Oh that loading screen at 4:10...

[@Eddierewrwrwerw]

Also when you equipped the new sword. It didn't give you extra health, the blood sword took away health. So by equipping that you got the health you lost.

[@ComfortChef]

Because everything gets more and more expensive as you buy things. Buying stat upgrades is generally not worth it until you have unlocked everything that's only 1 level(classes and such). Upgrading equipment is usually more worth it in the beginning.

[@JStepanuks]

Teleporters will be next to bosses or different areas the maya ect, red teleporters are in any random places

[@ensampojken]

09:00 I'm not sure why he hasn't already realized that the teleport rooms are always adjacent to an entrance of another part of the castle.

[@AllanSustainabilityFan]

Ryan, you can always return back to the castle by walking left from the smith.

[@TonyTheTGR]

I know the feeling. It's tough to find playmates on your level as it is; but then games like Roguelike-likes are practically a *break* from friends sometimes. The last thing you need is Steam IM's popping up over your feed!

[@HummingbirdwithaHat]

NL, darkened spots on the walls and ceilings lead to secret treasures chests.

[@Akarik77]

Mimic's also don't show up on your minimap as chests

[@BorisTheIllithid]

Actually, purchasing unlocks in the castle raises the cost of all other unlocks by 10 gold, so they do go up.

[@Jakesterdude11]

NL you should get the air dash rune from the Enchantress, it can be a really helpful upgrade.

[@Zebo12345678]

Lich in old mythology is an undead being that drains the life from the living in order to sustain itself. I think he's probably right that it's lich.

[@Darkfiretiger]

Ah I think that in this game the barbarian is the tank and Paladin is more DPS, paladin has around 250 HP and the Barbarian has 100 more. Paladin is all-round, Knave is high crit, Barbarian is Tank, Hokage is DPS and Miner is gold, Archmage is high MP and dependent on the usefulness of the spell.

[@kazuya4916]

I love how he was saying Hokage, but when everyone told him he was pronouncing it correctly he switched to Hokagi.

[@greenf1ngers2010]

There is almost always a teleporter near a change of zone

[@zz8w]

we need more rogue!!!!!!

[@JusteSimon]

Don't underestimate the guardian gear and the armor stat... it is VERY useful!

[@pankakewookie]

"That's the downside of playing as the miner, because obviously we're going to get less gold per kill." -Northernlion 2013

[@Ketsuekisan]

He didn't say he likes being ignorant(although I'm pretty sure he does), he said he wants to learn things on his own. I understand the desire to learn stuff on your own, but it's really hard to learn anything when you absolutely refuse to take 2 seconds to read the text on screen that explains what something does. A lot of the time it seems like he's not even trying to learn anything, he's just rushing through as fast as he can. I like NL, he's a cool guy, he can just be frustratingly dense.

[@Thomasnor1]

I just noticed, when you havve someone with the baldness trait the loading screen will say balding instead of building!

[@Sajanis1]

Northernlion is saying Hokage right! I'M SO PROUD!!!

[@bieberordie257]

MOAR PLEASE

[@ethanvarney8272]

i NEED MORE NOW

[@LilPugHugs]

NL, you should do a let's play of Risk of Rain, loved the look at and love the game!

[@akmadsen]

"That which we call a rogue; by any other name would smell as sweet."

[@razorlumz]

Buy the armor stat upgrade, get a ton of lifesteal, and just do full clear runs of each area.

[@kaweng1130]

There is always a teleporter right before u get to another area

[@tannergarren4033]

Hey Ryan, you should go for the other Character Type on the Map that is not an upgrade- you'll really like it. It's right next to the Barter skill.

[@raduixs]

can we uplike this so NL will finally learn he can actually go BACK TO THE MANOR after he leaves the screen the first time, so if he doesnt want gear/runes he can go back and still get upgrades.

[@Zire02]

That's exactly what I was going to suggest. Hope NL knows about this.

[@VideoGaku123]

Seems to be so in my game. I splashed too much cash on armor, and while im tanking hits pretty well right now, im struggling to raise enough cash for some extra Health. (for the record, im at like 80-something)
