Gav:”What was in the lake there?” Rory:”A monster Gavin! The next 45 minutes of your life.” 😂

[@feralsound]

that got me good

[@aprioriangelo]

"When all the Kale's get together, they're mad!" When they get to it in 2 years, this Krupa joke is going to be very funny.

[@3enCooper]

It's Saturday morning, I've got six pain au chocolat, a takeaway coffee, and my body is ready. To the fools!

[@RKG]

Now that's a Saturday morning right there.

[@colin5298]

2 and a half hours? We’re eating good baby! Absolute win!

[@beetfarmassist6162]

True, but I've no idea what I'm going to watch for the 2nd half of my bathroom break

[@DedLoko]

No Gav edits this week!!! 😂😂😂

[@jamesbolt1503]

"somehow the goo remembers being a caterpillar!" And yet Rory can't remember his bloody glasses

[@jcace13]

I can't believe the boom bottle keeps working, Rory might be on his way to being the only person to beat the final boss by blowing himself up.

[@iamtib]

i love when Rory is just picky about buying a spell for 3.5K runes

[@chipm0nkey]

The seamless continuity cut at 1:52:42 where the change of clothes wasn't spotted by anyone... 😃

[@finntheinhuman2306]

Am I the only one screaming at them to level up their ashes so they're not useless? 😭

[@supremebuffalo6322]

Seluvis sounds like Gav doing his Posh Finchy voice🤣 and that Miggs joke "I can smell your prawn" "I myself cannot" made me choke on my cuppa hahaha

[@SpartanOfSandtrap]

"Ye best start believing in sitting on a chair all day Mr Murphy, yer in one!"

[@deanbrown1259]

TWO AND A HALF HOURS?!?!?! How I weep with joy

[@xsymbiosisx]

Literally best channel on youtube.

[@RoyaltonDrummer922]

Someone’s gotta tell Rory that you CAN feed Torrent snacks

[@erin-nerds-out]

2 and half hours of the best hangover cure ever made. I am eternally grateful.

[@MrPsymon808]

Dragon thigh tactic was epic 😂

[@JacktheSadArmadillo]

Gav's been making some astute observations this Retry season. Very, very good

[@jomega_gaming]

Gav is doing very well with picking up the lore thats being thrown down, Rory..... Is trying 😅

[@JacktheSadArmadillo]

@@jomega_gaming I just like the difference between DS1 PTT (Krupa having to force the boys to listen to lore) and now them picking up on details and making their own theories. It's lovely.

[@reaper2r]

@@jomega_gaminghe has to play while learning Much harder

[@harryhorne8027]

Gav's face at 15:34 😂 he was half a second from saying "oh, the dragon district" and Rory beat him to it. Mates in sync right there

[@FurbieeG]

I love how genuinely buzzing krupa was with rory's thigh strat on the dragonkin soldier!

[@lexxington8773]

A bunch of Producers are watching this together at Loading bar tonight! ❤

[@AnndraADunn]

Holding out hope for the lads upgrading some of those spirit ashes before writing them off as useless. Poor Deano could be punching so much harder for them!

[@Lady_Vengeance]

1:32:55 This is one of the funniest exchanges I’ve ever heard. And the perfect illustration of what the boys do best. Banter about some random topic, one makes a throwaway joke that is built on by the others until it becomes something special and memorable, and something I’ll remember and anticipate each time I rewatch.

[@garynoble1590]

Thank you Krupa for stopping Rory rapidly pressing X during the Nefeli chat. I made that mistake in my playthrough and it was giving me the fear watching you guys do that bit.

[@Lady_Vengeance]

So excited that Rory picked Jarwight. Was easily my favorite and most used puppet in my first run (yes even more used than *that* puppet that everyone uses). Naked dude with a pot on his head tossing jars. What a legend 🍻

[@jomega_gaming]

Loved jarwright. Just this nutter who wants to be a living jar. I use to always wear the jar helmet aswell so think we are mates 😂

[@SavinFallout]

Aunty Biotics, the perfect name for a Mass Effect Adept run 😁

[@B81Jonny]

Entering Siofra is the greatest elevator/lift ride in all of gaming imo.

[@harrisonwaters6585]

Hey boys, what a banger so far! Just to say, it’s not the consecutive hits talisman Rory has equipped, it’s the FINAL hit of a combo that he has equipped

[@ToasterBurner35]

“Six” “Oh my god there’s loads of ‘em” “Six”

[@PersianPersuasi0n]

This is what Saturday mornings are made of! Coffee and a 2 and a half hour RKG episode, bliss. To the fools!

[@ice45678]

"We don't talk to Aunty Vaxxer anymore", actually laughed out loud at that one.

[@GoldnDusty]

Krupa baiting powers into fighting one of the giant bears that even speed runners avoid because they're such an arseache is very funny to me. Krupa the sleeper menace.

[@matthewdiamond8041]

Just realised, this is a show I watch while I slowly lose my mind. Stamina gone, so no shield up, just trying to roll into the attacks. Guess like a Bloodborne but no regain.

[@ShadoWhisps]

Watching them try to figure out which Disney Princess is which is hilarious

[@barneyhunter905]

Played this game twice. Literally just been through this area again thinking I'd completely cleared it. Had no idea there was another Dragonkin fight!

[@user-hr2si6uk8k]

I’m not sure if Krupa knows this or not (apologies if that sounds patronising 😅) but the song that the merchants are playing is actually Ghermans boss music from Bloodborne. It’s not a spoiler for anything in this game, but it’s a nice little detail I think

[@RKG]

I did know this but actually had forgotten. Remember seeing this on a Vaati video. I’ll tell the boys in a future Roundtable Hold!

[@belugia147]

Sorry to be absolutley no fun at all, but this is unfortunately untrue. The themes sound very similar, but actually share only the first three notes in common if you listen to them back to back. They then diverge completely. Would love to hear them overlaid though!

[@ComfyChroma]

I will never give up hope that From makes a Bloodborne sequel. I know it’s pretty unlikely, but a man can dream.

[@HowlGough]

​@@ComfyChroma 'You still have dreams? Tell the little doll I said hello'

[@anthonyburgess9921]

2.5 hours episode and the annual 100 questions in a week, Xmas came early, thanks you beautiful sluggy bastards. Xx

[@Bobban]

Gav, you just got very close to solving one of hardest to solve secrets in elden ring. And you did it by recognizing accents. Regarding Selivus and Pidia. Im impressed by you and the devs. I solved it another way, way later. I wonder if Dan will ever tell you what im on about

[@oranjekenny]

Weekly appreciation for the AWESOME intro! Good on ya, slugs!

[@theodoresasopoulos3823]

Saturday night here in Australia, night officially set with the lads from RKG 😁👌🏽

[@IntegralFilms]

After Auntie Finchie retires to the lands between between I hope to see the rise of Sir Eel.

[@inequis6063]

Is it just me or has every episode been massive lately? The overtime does not go unnoticed!

[@BassBumbass]

The desire line banter (around 38:15 roughly onwards) was just briliant.

[@AngryBhajiBoy]

I'd LOVE to see a Phasmophobia special. Powers using his clutch paranormal investigative skills

[@MTheKing09]

Fun fact: In French, that line of hair going down your stomach is called the pleasure line for real. So not far off!

[@adamlynch1694]

Powers’ immediate reference for A Christmas Carol being the Muppets movie is perfectly on brand 😂

[@evilcupoftea]

A beefy episode like this absolutely makes my weekend. Well done lads. Quality through and through.

[@ColHunnyBear]

Fun fact the boys make a joke that the two Marleys in Muppet Christmas Carol are Jacob and Bob but that's actually true. It's Jacob and Robert and a common nickname for Robert is Bob *ends nerd voice*

[@franksammons515]

Thanks lads! Chasing after a little baby this will take me a few days. Can’t wait

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

2 Hours 26 minutes!? Looks like Murphy is back on the menu boys!

[@ExcellentU]

Me, chanting along with the RETRY: Elden Ring intro song: "HE! HA! HO! HE! HA! HE! HA! HO! HE! HA! HE! HA! HO! ---"

[@MaxStephens77]

19:20 it’s like that part in Inbetweeners where they can only order ciders if they order Carvery dinners haha

[@Darkheart1413]

The thigh strat was actually how I beat Nokstellas Dragonkin. I never even saw second phase, sadly it never works for me on this one and it causes me a lot of trouble this fight

[@Schizm1]

Thx for everything guys. PTT and RKG are such an essential part of my life that I can't thank you enough:) Have a fantastic christmas!

[@KKirby-fq5iq]

Thanks RKG for all you do & I hope you guys & all my other fellow slugs have a wonderful holiday season!

[@matthewlyons8973]

4:12 never expected to hear Port Talbot from the boys despite Gavs non Welsh bias Merryx Mas slugs

[@ThatGuyCalledSteeve]

The dragonkin soldier one shotting them made me realise how tiny their health really is, even the endurance bar is bigger than the health

[@CrazeeAdam]

Mmhm. Almost at all times your HP should be more than any other bar. Maybe unless you're using a HARD magic build. But they aren't. Which may make some bosses even tougher

[@jacobcharlebois9570]

Only 2.5 hours? Gotta be a Gav edit. 😉 Absolutely lovely lads. Thank you for the content!

[@Trollkiller]

It's 5 am for me so I'll be watching this in a few hours. Happiest holidays lads and thanks for the years and years of wonderful content.

[@reaper2r]

“Six.” “Oh my god there’s loads of them!” “👀Six.”

[@B81Jonny]

Amazing content this year! Merry Christmas.

[@Grubbyfoot]

Love the Ancestral Beast! Not the hardest or even the most exciting boss, but something about the gentle tempo of the fight and music combine to make it a truly beautiful experience. Thanks for another great episode lads, I really needed this energy today ❤️

[@zachdanz8858]

I was so scared the ancestral spirit was going to be its own episode

[@gervsmerchpilk]

You guys are really spoiling us this season, love it!

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

Another 2.5 hour episode!? Well and truly fed with this one!

[@mattharris5330]

FYI I saw a whole breakdown of the sore seals when the game came out and the damage increase is pretty minimal when you factor in the additional stats and armor you can wear because of the additional stats.

[@ballunix]

very excited to hear the discussion around the ancestral spirit, quite possibly the worst i've ever felt fighting a boss (on my first playthrough). watched and read many hypotheses, but excited to hear gav and rory's thoughts!

[@motbag]

Comment for the algorithm. Best series ever.

[@Savinmander]

Should REALLY put that Chilling Mist ash on the twinblade. Would be a massive upgrade.

[@sandystewart-jones7826]

Re: Selivus’ “sex dungeon”, that’s not just community low brow joke. That’s 100% what you are meant to think. Selivus asks you to give potions to two people, both are young (at least personality-wise) women. The two puppets that are listed as “one of Selivus’ favourite puppets” are both young women. He talks about “pure elation” and “cherishing the puppet with my very hands”. If you give potion to Nepheli her frozen body ends up next to unmade bed in his cellar. There really is no other way to read what’s going on.

[@vrplaneswalker724]

Imagine a reel of Krupa saying "the map"

[@bryguy21]

I thought the ash of war chilling mist at the magic dragon actually said chinning mits when Rory got it… I almost went crazy 😂

[@_Renzokuken_]

2 and a half hours!! Awesome Christmas present!!! 🎉🎉❤❤

[@kadian299]

Love watching you guys, been in on it since your ign days. You can really tell how much Rory hasn’t grown as a fromsoft player in elden ring. 😊 Idk if it’s a bit or not but it makes for great comedy.

[@ahmz1404]

1:15:40 you can feed it stuff

[@willis8907]

Babe 2 is actually a much weirder and more enjoyable film than you'd expect. It's directed by George Miller in between him doing the early Mad Max films and Fury Road. It's very enjoyable if you enjoy 90s movies which had cool sets which were obviously sets but also very elaborate, kind of like the early Tim Burton films before his CGI era.

[@patricoda]

Gutted that we didn't hear "best supporting mattress" for the pillow gag.

[@greyeyedwolf89]

Time to open Christmas goodies and have a visit with my favourite auntie

[@domsnow6418]

James Cromwell also became vegan after the Babe movie. One of the few people who understood the message.

[@gewzer]

"when all the kales get together theyre mad" omfgg Krups i see what u did lmaoo

[@123afish]

Every time Rory gets off his horse to pick up an item, I lose a year off my life expectancy

[@markmayhew69]

Nice to see Gavin and Rory dressed as my apple music library on shuffle

[@KikiXoX3]

Happy Holidays Slugs!!

[@CrazeeAdam]

They get upset at their summons for dying fast... But have they thought of their summons? And feeling neglected level wise? 😢

[@jomo999]

The thigh strat is the stuff of legends. Aunty and Pot Boy going down in the history books.

[@tinyrogerts6449]

24:32 "Don't judge a book by its puppets." Words to live by.

[@jomega_gaming]

1:10:03 gross story incoming, but when I was doing training for my work they had a picture on the wall in the training area that was hung backwards so you couldn't see it unless you wanted to, and basically it was the consequence of not fitting your safety harness correctly and (gross warning again) it was the two balls hanging out a ripped ball sack.

[@fedwyn]

When Krupa said he has plans for ywars of Elden Ring it truly hit me how long this series will be

[@deanbrown1259]

Im going to be one of those annoying bastards... but it kills me watching Rory tap the sprint button on Torrent when he can just tap it to be in dash mode... Rory please 😫 Haha

[@sidsharma7115]

Jabbu jabbus belly is the funniest thing powers jas ever said!!

[@FilthyGringo]

Flying out to Disneyland Paris with the family tomorrow and was trying to think of something to occupy me on the flight... This will do me for the flight there AND back. Much love boys 🙏 Merry Christmas all.

[@snak3yes1]

First ever patron subscription and ive ended up a slug

[@levifoster5639]

Rory: I think we're getting distracted Me: what else is new?

[@PastaTime88]

the map of Siofra River was one of the last items i found down there in my initial pass through, i was like "that looks like the direction i should head in and didnt return until i was happy with how much i explored of the area lmao

[@bossdozz]

Thanks mates for the 2 1/2 hour special 🎉 happy new year ya slugs Could the lads be convinced to do a playthrough of Cyberpunk? Great lore for Krupa, shooter mechanics for Rory and lots of morality choices for Gav to play Devil's advocate ❤

[@gewzer]

carian retaliation (the shield ash) is such a potent invasion tool it really saved me so many times, although the cuckoo stone glitch w it was frightening to encounter lol glad that was patched so glad yall finally found the spell and ash !!! :'))

[@daedaluschimp4674]

FESTIVAL ROCKS

[@samgrant4827]

Rowa Raisins, feed the horse! :)

[@Ninzumecha]
