TROLLS AND BASILISKS, OH MY! ¦ Caves of Qud S3 ¦ Episode 7

[@westforduk]

Easiest strat I found for twinning lampreys was just use a freeze grenade mk I before it cloned or just freeze both, they can't split while frozen.

[@zarekmh]

Have a theory on why fugue is doing so poorly here. In the example of the humor fight, one of the fugues immediately puts up a force wall around the humor which shuts down all other fugues from shooting at it. Only the creator of a force wall can pen through it. Maybe there is some sort of gun that shoots phased ammo that could solve this issue?

[@skylarm2068]

Befriending the trolls is something I always try when doing Susa. Having them as a companion always make it a fun dungeon

[@Rogue_Rat]

I’m going to go pick them back up at some point once I’ve learned their secrets :)

[@ntma]

GG! one of the funniest things I did by accident was having a love injected ichor merchant follow me to the first strata, then a cloneling duped him twice. bethesda susa my beloved

[@Mossy.Vagabond]

I vote for naming the basilisk Mehmet, in honour of, well, uh, Mehmet. Joppa may be destroyed in this timeline, but Mehmet lives on! Live and drink, Rogue Rat!

[@dudenwatschn8312]

I'm so happy you managed to proselytize all the trolls. NGL I got sooo triggered, since you ignored all the unidentified tonics (for the possibility of a Love Injector). I was already seeing you kill the last troll :) Also - since you weren't all that happy about Siphon Vim last EP - you might wanna use Precognition to "scout" out what mutation you're going to get. You're *not* able to re-roll them using this, but it opens up the option to invest the 4 Points into levelling up an existing mutation instead. Can come in handy - especially early/mid-game.

[@MarketResearchReading114]

This nod about precog is excellent, thank you!

[@Rogue_Rat]

Yeah that's exactly what I'm going to do in the future episode when I re-roll - I believe there is a way to re-randomise the options using Eater Nectar Tonics, or a Drop of Nectar, but not sure if that has been patched.

[@therru5943]

@@Rogue_Rat still in! both re-roll mutation picks.

[@CaptainFlameGuy]

Levelling up also advances the RNG for the choices

[@hardwaredespair]

Great episode. I am learning a lot. I have never been this far in the game so when I get to this point (hopefully) I will be better prepared thanks to the Rogue Rat!

[@Rogue_Rat]

Thank you, I hope you succeed in your future runs!

[@daft8090]

On the topic of the 3rd troll being invisible, he still shows up on the minimap :3

[@MugenSpammer]

Did you figure out the Fugue problem? I don't think I've ever seen it fail, no less fail that many times.

[@Rogue_Rat]

Still not quite sure what was happening with temporal fugue here!

[@geddysciple]

​@@Rogue_Rat Was there a stray cloud of normality gas from the plastronids?

[@klembokable]

Subbed for the sunny joke

[@Rogue_Rat]

Yesss! I knew someone out there would appreciate that. Thank you for the sub :)

[@andreberg8606]

Jotunn and you is such a good fit considering all the boys you both can bring to any one individual yard.

[@815TypeSirius]

Also, Rimelosers are the first time I have really been scared and I just finished Ezra and I only have like 6 prio attempts. I quickly invested in resists where ever I could.

[@Rogue_Rat]

They're so brutal - not just the ice but their melee attacks ignore AV

[@815TypeSirius]

@Rogue_Rat yeah. This is the point where the game says "start thinking or die" and its only got more dangerous since then. Unhinged evil dm vibes.

[@815TypeSirius]

Night Vision no longer works to find the Third Troll. Not the mutation, tech, or injector.

[@Rogue_Rat]

Really? When was this changed? So outside of clairvoyance you just have to grenade/AoE and hope for the best? Brutal, I love it!

[@815TypeSirius]

@Rogue_Rat My character has night vision mutation and I can only see the babies. I even came back to try things after watching this. Nothing works. Maybe a bug?

[@petrichorsdream]

@@815TypeSirius Sorry about the late reply, I'm only watching this now. He has to be in total darkness for you to be able to see him with night vision, that means pulling him away from the convalescence pools. Hope this helps!

[@815TypeSirius]

@petrichorsdream ahhh its not dark so no nv. Makes sense. 👍

[@acksOldPeople]

51:13 You cut up some mustard on throw it in the pot. +1 MA for a day

[@Rogue_Rat]

MA = mustard attribute. It's a hidden stat

[@augustinpaladinesbernstein5076]

Troll friends !!
