RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep. 51: Leyndell, The Royal Capital

[@jamesallen1816]

You guys take the piss about a D&D series but if the three of you found a good DM to show you the ropes, it’d be a cracking watch 😂. You all have exactly the right personality and chemistry to make something like that work.

[@Frederikth92]

Or lowkey a Baldur's Gate series. I'd watch that.

[@mkeezy53]

I'd check that out for sure

[@Trollkiller]

​@@Frederikth92 Which class do you think would fit each best? I think Powers barbarian or bard, Gav maybe a warlock or rogue, and for Krupa I can see the obvious wizard or sorcerer but paladin or bard I think would also fit well.

[@DcLoki12]

Literally! Would be so good with krupa taking it seriously, Gav trying to bang everyone and Rory on side quests

[@linamiller4208]

@@Trollkiller Gav would obviously be a dragonborn draconic sorcerer

[@davidprince9427]

That D&D bit has got me in tears 😂😂

[@mkeezy53]

😂 what color hat? Idk, gotta roll for it

[@davidprince9427]

​@@mkeezy53😂 too good

[@bvdiggy3126]

The banter that would come out of this would be insane

[@LordNavac]

I'd pay anything for an RKG DnD game run by a professional DM.

[@ftg_vader8690]

100000% yes

[@TheManyManyMore]

Chaotic Neutral / No Rolls Barred collab? It’s mostly Call of Cthulhu, but that could be a nice crossover with Bloodborne lore and atmosphere

[@vampyrlady94]

Dont they know Johnny Chiodini, they are a amazing DM and would probably be up for a bit of extra chaotic DnD 😂

[@joaquin17171717]

I don’t think you would.

[@swnick3386]

Yes plz

[@adamlynch1694]

Real talk though, a Baldurs Gate 3 Ways would go incredibly hard.

[@MaxStephens77]

I would LOVE to see this. An extended/story game 3 Ways would be so sick and BG3 would def scratch that DnD itch (and maybe get them more into the idea of doing a table top campaign)

[@adamlynch1694]

@@MaxStephens77 I would even take a one off, give them a pre-made character that’s at level 4 and easy to use like a fighter, let them have a go at the Goblin Camp in Act 1 and see how each of them takes out the 3 leaders.

[@SillySullyAF]

I 100% support this, would love to see any of these ideas happen.

[@Lady_Vengeance]

I’ve suggested this several times. Would be amazing.

[@troy8420]

For sure

[@scottynorton99]

I rolled the dice and it turns out I loved the episode 😂😂

[@DcLoki12]

Would pay good money for a DnD campaign with the boys

[@RKG]

…how much good money?

[@vLarsn]

@@RKG Let me roll the dice on that!

[@DcLoki12]

​@@RKGI bet It would make a good stretch goal 👀

[@mkeezy53]

​@RKG I think it'd make a better series than a live stream. I'd keep paying for the early access, but not sure if I'd bump up another tier or not. Man, genuinely a tough call

[@jamesphillips5896]

​@DcLoki12 I'll stretch your goal... Ooooooo, kinky!

[@AndyHowell1981]

Daniel’s joke about not being full after eating the spectral steed was absolutely missed and deserved better

[@HowlGough]

50eggs needs to do a cut of these

[@Slurgly]

You're appreciating it now :)

[@KarzGuitar]

All this DnD talk has got me thinking - new Three Ways episode of Baldur's Gate 3? There's a great part in the opening act that can be completed multiple ways and definitely tests your morals & strategy. I can only see that going well :P

[@ftg_vader8690]

@KarzGuitar such a great idea

[@supremebuffalo6322]

I don't wanna get my hopes up but that would be amazing, a 3-player coop playthrough would be even better...

[@Trollkiller]

The DND chat now has me picturing the three as a party in baldurs gate 3. Could probably call the group Krupa's endless sighs lol.

[@williamsmith4854]

My satisfaction around 22 minutes in where Rory became self-aware about all his little technical issues: “The range on that isn’t great…” “I don’t need to two-hand with this shield on…” HE’S EVOLVING!

[@AlwaysRobert]

I never realized how bad i need an RKG D&D show...

[@morganmayhem4040]

Fun fact about Chumbawumba...they're actually a super well respected anarchist folk/punk group. They're early records were called things like "Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records", and "Never Mind the Ballots...Here's Chumbawumba". They released that one weird pop record, said fuck this and went back to their roots.

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

I was so exhausted and harrowed by the time I got to the capital and in my continuation of feeling like boc was the one good thing in this world I was like "thank God you're here and you're okay" because him being still alive surely meant I was doing something right 😂

[@swans184]

tbf to Rory's Forty Sax joke at the beginning, bad jokes are absolutely an art-form xD

[@afrokid8]

Rory saying he has to 2 hand the sword because he doesn't have the stats as he wants to wear the scarab talisman. Proceeds to one hand the sword often doing barely any damage. 🤦🏼‍♂️ True RKG right there!

[@tylerhawksmoor9601]

Power's more aggressive gameplay in this episode is amazing, so satisfying to see him enjoy a big boy poise damage strength weapon and how visceral (no pun intended) the combat can feel with them!

[@Lady_Vengeance]

I have to say, Rory kicked ASS this episode. Patience, dodge timing, mixing up weapons and short and long range attacks strategically, stealthing, even a guard counter sneaked into the mix 😆 It sometimes sneaks up on me just how much Rory has grown as a player over the course of all of these games.

[@flabwaan]

😂 primordial slug here. I was watching this episode in the morning while preparing for a DnD oneshot with a load of new players in london in the afternoon. Had me in stitches. Honestly I think with a good DM, RKG would absolutely nail a DnD show, or just a baldurs gate 3 playthrough

[@Agnes135]

DnD is gay

[@rocksun1933]

I mean.... Boc's ending is very fitting since Rory hates his voice so much.... Waiting for Krupa to reveal the other path in Roundtable Hold.

[@sothatsprettybrutal8948]

Half expected him to just drop it right there after explaining Boc's death: oh and by the way you could have done this instead

[@sinci7]

Not sure what’s got into the lads in the last few episodes but the chat is killing me. Haven’t laughed this hard in God knows how long. Thanks for making my Saturday p.s. I am wanking whilst writing this.

[@bashfulcarrot4015]

Had a dream last night yous three became the new hosts of Top Gear. In my head it just worked, then woke up to this banger. Thanks big boys ❤

[@burgundygoat8273]

Nothing compares to the excitement of seeing the length of this week's Retry episode 🍿

[@slayforthequeen]

Krupa: "Let's go in here" *chaos ensues immediately* Krupa: "Right, let's back up and get out of here"

[@_oldmanjoel]

Don't know if it was intentional, but I love the irony of them taking the piss out of D&D and them the video immediately cutting to them on the menu going "we're taking fireballs to the chest, we need something fire or lightning resistant" and doing maths for the stats and atributes

[@_oldmanjoel]

Ok, just watched the next bit, it probably was intentional 😂

[@samvictor6084]

Omg a guard counter! Never thought I’d see one of those again in the series :p

[@zemo2916]

A 3 way cooperative BG3 play through would be insane.

[@alloys6332]

Love the idea of Elden Ring stand up on Roundtable Hold!

[@devintheditch]

If you three gents ever wanted to try out D&D/Table Top RPG in general, I am the current chairman of a TTRPG club in MK. I know at least another RKG fan in the club (we're both Game Masters too) and we'd love introduce you to it :) Fantastic episode as always lads! Thank you for your hard work!

[@DelayedBalloon411]

Krupa was on fire this episode

[@joeoneill6158]

I think it's dangerous if Powers learns the L2 on thay sword heals him because I'm sure it will make him play so much more dangerously

[@DcLoki12]

With the pigeon talk at 1.43.01 i worked in retail, had a pigeon fly into the store and get stuck in a bay window, it was panicking a lot but I managed to catch it, i walked out the door and released it from my hands, only to see the most confused man ever. I think he thought i was some kind of Sainsbury's magician, or we were still using homing pigeons but his face is carved into my memory 😂

[@CactuarKing]

I'm waiting for 50eggs to do an "in memory of Boc", and it's just a supercut of the boys slagging him off.

[@paulm1765]

Top scarab work by Powers. Practicing the scarab route to equip the scarab paid off big time. Scarab.

[@jayarmstrong9504]

I quite like whilst Gav says "this game is alright sometimes" Krupa is visibly confused by the glitch that the others don't know about yet.

[@riverjordan90ify]

I'm part of a dnd group formed from the facebook PTT/RKG fan group. We've played together for almost 4 years. The dnd bit had me in fucking stitches.

Good lord, if they're doing the sewers next week then they are absolute madlads, that area is genuinely endgame.

Shoutout to some very good play from Rory. I thought Leyndell was going to be a hard check on progress, but he managed make some serious strides across the capital this episode. Bravo!

[@JenWritesSome]

Seeing as someone else covered Draco already I'll do Hannibal (TV) instead: 1. Janice Poon, who designed all the meals in Hannibal, did put out a cookbook called Feeding Hannibal that is apparently very good. 2. "from nose to Vans", Gav very much in the Garret Jacob Hobbs mold of cannibalism there. Honouring every part of them.

[@CallumHorace]

I was so excited for this episode and you guys really didn’t disappoint. My face hurts from laughing so much. 😅

[@DollarReDoos]

Small incantations like the discus and honed bolt can be repeatedly cast quickly if you spam it after the first one. Makes them much more effective.

[@Judicator11]

They must have healed like a 100 times off of the boss with the sword special attack and still think it just heals on kills. To be fair, I get that it is already one of the most powerful weapons, so people might be happy if they stay ignorant. Just find it weird nobody noticed at all. It even has a sound cue and everything.

[@afrokid8]

It's actually hilarious they haven't realised it yet. Especially our lore master.

[@sothatsprettybrutal8948]

A couple things are combining to make it easy to not notice: Rory's killing with the special a lot, and he's getting hit when doing it a lot

[@Porogna]

​@@afrokid8I'm surprised about that and that our lore master didn't know how you can keep Boc alive. Tbh even if he did there was gonna be no way the other 2 would be for calling Boc beautiful 😂

As a man with 0 sense of direction, I found Leyendell so incredibly stressful and confusing…damn you Michael!

Hearing Gav talk about cannibalism truly warms my heart. I never realized we had so much in common. I feel we've grown closer as friends. ❤

[@ftg_vader8690]

Just FYI, because the range of takers flames is brought up in the episode, but there is actually a hitbox for the blade and the fire. So actually the optimal way to use it is up close- you will do a good bit more damage because it hits twice.

[@Sanzoku47]

The DnD slander had me in stitches 😂 "What color is my hat?" A RKG DnD session would be legendary with the right DM. It's not enough to know the rules, however. You'd need a DM who is just and fair with just the right amount of chaos, and a similar sense of humor as the group. It's all about chemistry! If you found them, it would be premium content.

[@ComfyChroma]

10:43 I’m wearing a little hat. What color is it? eww let me find out 🎲 🎲 😂

[@johnnybigbones4955]

The D&D pisstake bit was brilliant.

[@jankdotTV]

Reckon the boys would get well into TTRPGs if it was more in the vein of Kids of Bikes - simple rules, playing off of movie tropes. Playing out different classic horror/genre scenarios like Jurassic Park or The Thing. Would fit snuggly alongside series like the How to Survive Friday the 13th too.

[@Schizm1]

Leyndell is one of those "ok, here's how it's done" location that From does to show other souls-like devs who's king.

It’s important to note that the item at the top of the statue spear bridge is one of the few missable key items… as once you burn the tree, it’s gone forever. Dan didn’t seem to keep on telling Rory he should get it!
