Salt and Sacrifice has a hidden weapon and armor, a reference to the Potatoes of Salt and Sanctuary. And, some would argue, a direct challenge to my channel. Well, today's the day.
Can you beat Salt and Sacrifice with only Carrots? Time to find out.

I used Hello Fresh for almost a year. I enjoyed it, though it required a bit more prep then I was expecting. I kept several of the recipe cards so I can purchase the ingredients and make them again. I ended up having to cancel because it was too much food. If there was an option to go down to one meal for two people a week, or two meals for one person a week, I would have stuck with it. Unfortunately, especially in the latter months, I wasn't consuming the food before it rotted. I do encourage you all to try it out, though, and remember to keep the cards for the recipes you really like. :)

Let's acknowledge how awesome it is that Lemon inspired an entire weapon/playstyle for a game that the developers supported and made a viable reality. How many players have done that? It's so freaking cool.

[@filthysewerrat3490]

Look at Lemon and Melon being friendly now after the glasses ads. This is so wholesome

I was just randomly recommended this video, no idea what salt and sacrifice is or why playing with a carrot is significant, but I am now so deeply emotionally attached to Harvey and his success that it hurts. Go you wonderful fat carrot man. Go.

[@Wendy-zhou]

Its so funny (and somehow wholesome) to watch lemon putting many jokes he used over the past year in one episode that is the predecessor of the one video that make him so iconic (in terms of S'n S1), and the entirety of this video is just a wonderful contrast showing us everything is different: almost 100 times more fans, audio and editing that are less cringe(we all love both TBH), slash carrot vs blunt potato, dull brown armor vs bright yellow/green armor, FASTEST TATERTOT ON EARTH and a fat rolling carrot, an insane challenge that made lemon SEE IT ALL and one in comparison is basically a trivia. None of these immense joy would be possible without you, Mr. Lemon, and we all thank you for that.

My nephew is a child who loves carrots. When he was being weaned, my sister boiled some baby carrots. After a small tentative nibble, he immediately grabbed handfuls of carrots and started smashing them into his mouth with concerning vigor. We had to take the plate away out of a fear of choking. Today, the lad will gladly pass on a candy bar in favor of a bowl of strawberries. I knew not the bargain my sister made, nor with whom. But I am glad that I now understand the truth. It was Harvey all along. Thank you Harvey.

[@firelinksshrine1695]

[@aikoluna3480]

Just wanna say, I found your channel by pure happenstance, and I immediately loved your personality and videos. It’s thanks to you I finally got the motivation to really get into salt and sanctuary and sacrifice and now I love them both, hope people notice how funny you are and you get more followers

[@Zargon2854]

I think what I appreciate the most about your S&S videos is how much you appreciate the games and their themes/world/story it really shows in the videos you make for them versus other games. Also shout out for usnig the Hades soundtrack in this vid, love that game and its music!

[@-Shinoray-]

Hm... I had the suspicious doubt ... And after this video I'm assured... Hear my theory: Who in his right mind would do a run with a potatoe as a weapon...With a dude in potatoearmor. And who in his right mind would repeat this challenge but only switching up the potatoes with carrots. If the potatoe was an eldrich being... And our dear carrot friend Harvey being aa eldrich being aswell... What assures us that the Guy literally called lemon isn't a Eldritch being all the time? Maybe he is even more than a plain being. What horrors await us if he is in fact one of the Eldrich gods. And Harvey and the potatoeguy were just his umble minions. Missused and missguided for his entertainment. The Backlogs lore thickens...

[@danghostman2814]

Salt and Scourge (theoretical third S&S) is obviously just going to blatantly include lemons to ward off the scurvy debuff. And explode. (Burn your house down, with the lemons!)

[@nameless7078]

Harvey is like a carrot themed chibi Oogie Boogie.

[@silvercandra4275]

I didn't think I'd find weird carrot man cute, but the little "oooh"s really sold me. Also, if you read this, I'm proud of you lemon. I think it's been almost a year since I came across this channel, and I've always been looking forward to new videos ever since. You deserve all the attention you're getting now.

[@rjkirentol]

With that sudden and familiar music montage I feel it's my duty as a fan of the game to ask if challenge runs or otherwise for Hades is in the cards. Things like no God boons or not dashing, or only using your cast might be right up your alley.

[@Narezaath]

This is perhaps the only channel where I could find sponsor ads with character development. I don't know what to make of it, but it's awesome.
