It’s awesome seeing all these relationships and a real family coming about. Sand and Park are like brothers, the most capable, leading the group on. Ruka and Orin are like bickering sisters. Hobbs is like the crazy eccentric Uncle whilst the rest are still finding their place in the family. Amazing job as always, Rycon.

[@Karling1]

Lower Servant will become a true legend . . .

[@shivery_timbers1430]

Wish he could name him

[@Ethonoris]

Hey, its ya pal, Lower Servant.

[@dardoscorvo510]

I can see these intros like a medieval Mass Effect scene. Like Sand is just there, holding onto the conversations, nailing these quick time Paragon choices.

[@jordanmanley9172]

I, for one, hope the Sand takes on the title of Warlord. Once his warband is built and ready, and he has the Shek at his back, he can destroy the Holy nation once and for all.

Always great to see Sand and the others! Tips and comments: 1) You can, IIRC, buy stuff *into* containers as well, e.g. buying food into your food storage. You might have to drag it though. 2) Nice job with the rescues! After the Holy Mine, when looking at athletics, remember that you should check actual speed in the lower left. IIRC, Scorchlanders and Hivers are generally faster while Shek are slower, even when at the same athletics. Basically, different creatures have different speeds. Dogmeat for example is quite slow, at the very least until they grow to adult size. 3) I always enjoy to hear the company talking among eachother :D 4) I saw that fanart earlier, it was great!

[@doktorgurgul]

Another great episode. A little tip: Sand could use some nifty sneaky clothes, such as Assassin's Rags, Ninja Pants, Swamp Ninja Mask or Dark Leather Shirt. They all give cumulative buffs to sneak and can boost your sneak from around 70s to 100. Another good choice could be training his Assassination skill with a dummy, then upping that by KOing some roaming bandits, it would also synergize with the el assassino clothes. With decent Assassination you could sneak in, KO the holy guards, put THEM in cages and free the slaves without hassle. A really underhanded trick but hella fun if one can pull it off. Cheers :]

Going to re-post this (Easier to read) Tips iv learnt from playing 700+ hours of Kenshi. * Join the Shinobi thieves as soon as possible. They have a tower in most cities that you can rest up in. They offer items at 50% the cost which is handy for early on. They will heal you when injured and help you fight. They sell a small thieves bag that give NO penalties. They offer a free Plastic Surgeon. * Take off your bag when you fight. (unless you used the small thieves bag) * Put food in you bag then drop said bag on the group and bandits won't loot it. * Food placed in your bag will be used by any of your characters around them. *The + and - keys are used to raise and lower builds when you are placing them. This is displayed in the helper text on the screen, F1. * When stealing wait till the 3 second timer disappears before moving around. * Have strength be double the weight of weapon. (10-weight 20-strength) * The higher the quality of a weapon the heavier it gets. So low strength characters should be using lower quality weapons (minus katana class as they all are fairly light) * Crossbows are VERY useful against humanoids (Eg. Shek and humans) are stunned when hit. * Use katana's to train dex (the more cutting dmg the more dex xp) * Don't use heavy weapons until you have 50+ in both dex and strength at least. * Don't wear heavy armor (or armor that lowers stats) til you have said stats in the 50+. * The higher the skill level the more time it takes to train so use things that lower the skill you want to train. This sounds stupid but the game goes by the skill level of the character after equipment which means a character with Attack 20 with no bonus or negative will gain the sane xp as character with Attack 12+8 bonus. * Don't give higher quality medkits to low medic skills uses. * Buy a small house in a city and build and use a research bench in a city before building a base. Reason 1 is that you will be defenseless when building your base (no walls, turrets or guards) which is easy pickings for bandits. Reason 2 is that you will have no real things to build at the start (not even walls) * Build somewhere close to a trading post (waystation) or city.

[@shock2311]

@Punished_Luke Any base within Shek territory will have to pay tribute to the Shek in the way of food, basically they steal all your food. You will also have to deal with Dust Bandit raids. The other thing to take into account is resource nodes like iron and copper are random so keep that in mind when looking for a base.

[@JacobEllinger]

don't even have to wait to give a thumbs up. It's always good.

[@lytalo]

Exciting episode. You left your camp beds when you ran from the dogs.

[@thea-rate6655]

Why wasn't this in my reccommended box? C'mon KZbin, I rang the bell.

[@shock2311]

Same here. KZbin is broken as usual.

[@SirCog78]

You should go and recruit Burn he is located in Burns Tower. Also there is a sweet mod called Darker Nights, good for immersion if you want to take a look at it, love the videos!

[@bazartaud2897]

delightfully structured episode. the ending vignette was complimented really well by the music

[@dappyhust3056]

Amazing as always. Give this man a Netflix special

[@SirSmite]

Yeah, "Attack All" can be a little wonky sometimes. Seems to work mostly when your group is close to the enemy group.

Dogmeat the real MVP vs those hungry bastards

[@fossilizednara1469]

Oh wow! Loved the fan art. Gave me chills as it reminded me of their beginning and how far they’ve come and how much we’ve fallen in love with Park. You are not just a slave. You are so much more my friend. ❤

[@lurnfitness572]

My heart was freaking racing while you were raiding the poles. God, i love it. I eventually plan on destroying rebirth all together in my playthrough... places like that just shouldn't exist.

[@smilosabercat]

Excellent as usual... More please :-)

[@sonictundra1909]

It would be great to see you build an army out of ex-slaves from all over the holy kingdom. Even freeing lower servants like Lois who most would skip over believing that they are not worth the time or effort to save. Even if you do release them from service later on, just freeing them does so much for the story and Sands character. I can't wait to see where this goes.

[@jonhillman871]

this is GREAT. the roleplay at the beginning and end was very entertaining and in between we had all adventure. i think rycon has found the right balance to give us a really great kenshi experience.

[@dkelrk1]

Man. I can't believe how entertaining this is.

[@bandolando3265]

Always happy to see more kenshi!

[@shock2311]

Rycon there are anti-slaver groups in the world. Maybe you should try and find them. (Spoiler hint) Cannibals are good target practice.

[@darthbrooks4933]

Enjoying the series, just started playing kenshi. What an epic game.

[@clauvyuga]

Your female voice is getting better and better. Good stuff, mang, keep it up. Edit: Characters won't automatically consume food if it isn't in a backpack. Just so you know.

[@bandolando3265]

They will if its in their inventory, but only the person that its in the inventory of will eat it.

[@GrandElemental]

Also, for some reason the Thieve's Backpack doesn't seem to work (unless this has been recently fixed). Trader's Backpack works well for this.

[@wingsofragnarok8166]

With the skeletons they have a 3rd mechanic to their health I think your unaware of. When a limb gets damaged or has a repairable damage (looks like bandage bandageable damage) and a regenerative damage. The bar itself shrinks to fit 100% of your current max health of the limb and the other damage which is unrepairable to takes time. Hope that makes sense.

normaly I wouldn't post the last tip because of spoilers but some areas are so deadly not telling you would baiscaly be killing you

The general rule is the further away from the middle the harder it get. Not a spoiler as it doesn't mention what area is hardest.

Good accent for Ruka, sounds like Loki on Vikings TV series.

[@matthewlove2473]

you know what i would've done, i would have snuck your entire roaming party to the edge of the wall, have Sand sneak in, unlock a prisoner, pick them up, and sneak out. then its just a matter of picking them up with your party members. although you only get one prisoner out at one time, you don't have to worry about a long chase.

[@IKnowHowItEnds]

+4 attack slots mod lets the enemy gang up on you.. It's the reason Hanbu got destroyed by those hungry bandits. It makes the start of the game harder but the end game easier. Numbers..
