Thanks for watching my AP farming tutorial. I hope you learn a lot about the longsword and how easy it can be to clear the ice abyss. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them below, and I'll get back to you ASAP.

@@SookieSpy It’s crazy how i just stumbled on you, got a sub from me

[@xDBlackie]

Subscribed for the nice gameplay, but also for the impeccable parry tutorials sprinkled about in the video. Loved it, kept me so engaged throughout the whole video. I love a good parry/reposte

[@heeli_]

This video is absolute flames, I can tell you've been practising editing. Keep it up Sookie!

[@ALLinDRAMA]

Great video, keep it up bro.

[@YourBoyBlinn]

Sookie is the GOAT.. awesome content and looking forward to rewatching!! thanks for sharing your skills & knowledge bud, learned so much from you :)

[@SookieSpy]

Thanks Blinn, glad to showcase some of the lantern shield stuff for you! Keep it up, brother, you're killing it on here.

[@nimerecl]

This video is top-notch, keep up the great work, you're doin well

[@bubbin419]

Great video! I've always run a longsword and a crossbow, and it's hard to imagine not having any range, but you make it look so easy! I might have to give it a try.

[@Katorce]

You won a sub, nice gameplay style dude! ❤

great work with this video, i learned a lot ot new things about ice abyss thanks to you ✅

[@ErikMat-o5f]

...this video of actually showing and telling smoothly while doing so is awesome even nice music at some points - much love will pick up longsword again after using speer to much ! good video to come back to. Thank you

[@Jackthastyle]

That's me at 31:31 GG to you & I learned my lesson from that fight, haven't seen many lantern shields before.😄

[@CJStrykr]

Wow great video. New player learning a ton

[@maxlegoman1151]

id love to see you do parry guides for other maps, the way you explain where to aim in relation to the mob's body parts is something i find super consistent and useful, and not really seen in other parry guides on YT.

[@StoneKnight1]

Pretty good guide all-in-one how to farm ap, pvp,pve. Also good comparison long-sword is amazing pve but kinda hard pvp and lantern shield is like opposite

[@XraygogsTV]

The editing went hard in this one sook. Great work dudes! Thanks for the longsword inspiration!

Thank you. The studying and time spent editing is paying off.

[@maxlegoman1151]

this video is so fuckin good bro. thank you for the parry tutorial

[@georgehuang2848]

if you are having trouble with skeleton halberdmen when using longsword, both aim and move to the left. Aim for left blade part of the halberd. hope this helps.

[@adamerebus9968]

Finally I find something I wanna watch without finding it

[@JohnByakEbobobaByakus]

thank you for sharing your knowledge, with this power of using long swords. i will become the greatest warlock and take all their souls and maggots for me

[@DiabloGoldSecrets]

Buffering lantern shield and don’t loot mobs were news to me. Thanks!

[@avery1482]

Really only ever loot mobs if I need the quest items otherwise it's just not worth your time.

[@noonegaming8685]

Only mobs worth looting are mummy’s, death skulls, bosses, and mini bosses

[@DiabloGoldSecrets]

@@noonegaming8685 thanks! My best right now is 1600 ap in a run. Even getting up to 1700 will greatly improve the grind

CASTLE CRASHERS MENTIONED WHAT THE HELL IS A SEQUEL RAHHHH!!!!!!

[@skilledsqueaks6746]

Sookie im curious if you could show off some of the parrys for frost demon and ice ghost (maybe even wendigo if youre feeling lucky) Ive tried with the demon before and got shotgunned

[@kristoffernilsson494]

Ty for the awesome content! I have a question tho! Do you only go for the frostmap or do you go with all the maps?

[@SookieSpy]

For farming AP I always play on Ice Caverns. Once I hit demigod for the season, I start playing on my secondary fighter, so I can enjoy HR PvP.

[@kristoffernilsson494]

Ooh okey! Make sense tbh 😅 How do you cope with spellcasters ? Feels like when you run without sprint that it's over if you get run down by warlocks for example? 🤔

[@HasTePlague]

Might as well be castle crashers

[@srek6669]

quick question, i saw your troll parry guide, and i saw that you dont take damage when you parry but when i hit a parry i still take damage, what am i doing wrong?

[@ThePCeristas]

You still have to dodge the attacks

[@srek6669]

@@ThePCeristas yeah, thats what i do, i didnt say i die, i said i still take damage

[@noonegaming8685]

@@srek6669you still have to be out of the way of the attacks, you are just letting the troll hit the sword, you aren’t using it as a shield.

[@srek6669]

Illegal PvE video.

[@Random-fl4ow]

I don't even know what AP I know the high roller have a ''cost'' but what it's for never spend anything when I went in except 100g . like ive seen the term before but still have no clue what is it ..

[@jakekasper825]

The cost gets taken out at the end of the game, say you come out with 1000 ap, your rank might cost 100 ap and 100 gold to enter, you will spend 100g to go in and come out with 900 ap

[@maiidenless]

Did AP for killing mobs shares with your teammates? Or its just your AP

[@pangordian]

yipee

[@jason96725]

is there some reason why you don't route mobs?

[@billistic4199]

its ap farming time my doods

[@SookieSpy]

it's dood time my doods

[@DiabloGoldSecrets]

I’m getting like 1400 ap not including fee. Trying to mirror what you’re doing not sure maybe I’m breaking pots which you appear to almost never do. Probably skill issue of too much time healing and enemies not dying efficiently enough. With demigod being 800 entry fee you really need to be breaking 2k once in a while or the grind will take months! Edit: got demigod all good thanks for the vid!

[@randomamerican8236]

Had no idea u can parry combo with lantern shield. Is that only with arming sword or all weapons?

[@SookieSpy]

All weapons, rondel dagger has an infinite combo attack so you can hold the second riposte for as long as you like.

[@askakizz]

Why do you not keep potions on your belt? is it just in case of a player missing you due to poor visibility?

[@SookieSpy]

You are completely invisible in dark spots if you have a shadow covering your silhouette, however potions glow in the dark and give you away. Also, I find they are the first thing I notice when I spot players, so I built muscle memory to always remove them.

[@snazz1e362]

I would love to do this but i play wizard so i cant clear ai for shit

[@Alfie-ni7lx]

You got 110 ap for a single kill on the frost map? I watched another streamer on goblin town get 40 ap for two kills is there a difference for the maps or is it red zone kills?

[@SookieSpy]

@@Alfie-ni7lx AP varies based on the number of divisions between you and the player. It's all based on ranks.

[@lukeyanno453]

Nice vid, but title is totally clickbait

[@johnniewilliams2319]

I have to get on my friends so much for how they pull enemies because they just carelessly walk forward when fighting an enemy and bring 3 more forward every time. I always tell them dont walk into an area you havent cleared they say they havent yet somehow they pulled more mobs so something doesnt add up.

[@SookieSpy]

Clearly, they are not following the golden rule...

Wait... The LANTERN SHIELD has a PARRY ATTACK?! 5:36-5:41

[@ffsfofos7965]

why you dont use divine blade for the 15% undead dmg bonus ?

[@SookieSpy]

I didn't have one, but it's a great choice if you do!

[@gavin1221]

I dont play fighter, can every weapon parry like that?

[@SookieSpy]

Only the longsword, lantern shield and flute.

[@bigfoothunter8080]

How do you deal with warlocks with this build?

[@SookieSpy]

That's the cool part, you don't! Haha, seriously just try to avoid them and play super patient. I had 5 kills and 0 deaths vs them this farm and every win was just because they got bored and made a mistake.

[@demyslayer]

Wait this aint world of warcraft

[@Jetraychamp55]

Wait there is actually a lower level to the Ice dungeon? How was I ever supposed to fin this out? So much of this game goes completely unexplained, which can be a good thing. Just not always. edit: Find* not fin

[@TheKaratejesus]

There's a part of the dungeon with a bottomless pit, once it turns red near the end of the timer for the dungeon you jump in and that's the 2nd level. It sounds super troll telling you to jump off a cliff but I promise that's how it works lol.

[@Jetraychamp55]

​@@TheKaratejesus I was just surprised to see it in the video since I hadn't come across anything in game that even hinted at it. I thought the castle was the only dungeon that had a "second level" so to speak. I'm super excited to check it out though, this makes the ice caverns much more appealing to me.

[@toxicmagnaguard]

@@Jetraychamp55you didn’t see every streamer fighting the ice dragon and wonder where it was?

[@Jetraychamp55]

@@toxicmagnaguard I don't really watch streams. Have yet to see a single video including an ice dragon probably would have if I watched the video for how to handle all ice cave mobs, but I like to try learning without videos first. I think i did see an image of it once though. When I did see it I just figured it was in a portion of the map I haven't seen yet. I hardly know my way around the goblin caves I know the other two maps even less.

yow, if we've some gear shouldn't waste time looting mobs and just go for chest, or in general (even without gear) is better avoid the loot time from mobs and go ahead for chest/boxes? Tysm for the video 🦦
