I Hate Chorkings!

A one-off video where I take a look at a revolting, disgusting enemy that made Breath Of Fire 2 even more unsettling than it needed to be. I tell you, this game was made with the specific purpose of causing me grief, I'm certain of it!

[@abird7809]

I also hate flies, but for a different reason: Their buzzing sound annoys me so much that I start itching all over, like I was coated in rashes and hives. Delightful! They're also probably the stupidest of arthropods. A bee would at least know to go through a open door.

[@christiandark3298]

I hate this thing too, but not specifically because it's a fly. I hate it because this fly can spit ZOMBIE BREATH. Think about this conceptually. A giant fly comes out of nowhere and spits some form of gaseous breath onto a party of adventurers. There is a chance that this breath could slither its way into a party member and infect them, and if left untreated, one of them can turn into a ZOMBIE. All because of a giant fly, someone can turn from living to undead. That is fucking terrifying.

[@brasilballs]

That's what whois though of Egypt level (mummies) on The Lost Vikings.

[@MF-Spiffylad]

Christian Dark Gets worse when you realise that the chorkling, being a oversized fly, would probably eat zombies with no objections. Think of the rotten breath like a way to make you an easier, more delicious prey to it.

[@devilishjester7718]

Zombies can be good, in shantae

[@Commanderoko]

" When I was plowing this land, I found a shining rock~ When you hold it, you can see the bones." ... Is the island meant to be irradiated? Did Bo find plutonium on it? Maybe that's a joking explanation for the giant mutated enemies there. Didn't think of that until literally just now! Thanks, git!

[@BirdRaiserE]

[@leoleo4469]

[@ReynLynxPSI]

I guess you could say... Chorking is the 'Lord Of The Flies'

[@ReynLynxPSI]

***** It's a reference to the book Lord Of The Flies.

BOO! (throws tomato)

[@Aladato]

I think the golden slimes are supposed to be King Sludge, just like ChorKing. In any case, maybe flies are the true sages of nature for they see life as it is: a neverending cycle where they show us that excrement and dead organisms are still very useful and capable of nourishing new life. And no, new life doesn't mean Beelzebub, zombies and the like. Let's just keep that stuff dead and decomposing.

[@CandleClockwork]

I'm positive that K. Sludge stands for "Karat Sludge". Just a guess.

[@TheSurrealBoye]

Or maybe Klondyke Sludge.

[@ssjsmith8879]

Means KING Sludge. You know, like Goo King in breath of Fire 3???

[@animelaughattack]

K.. Slime , as in Kin Slime, kin being Japanese for gold, so still Gold Slime maybe?

[@brasilballs]

Or King Slime. Kings are related to gold, so... why not King Slime, since it is stronger than their giant normal counterpart?

[@mamode242]

Why not Karat slime, its golden

[@MrEvilbyte]

Items which simulate attack spells will deal set damage to Chorkings (and other high defense enemies). Unlike actual spells, attack items somehow ignore the targets elemental afinities. So they are 1 hit kills always. Bow's Shot command can 1 hit kill any monster here if it's deathblow effect kicks in. Kat's transformed self has an ability called Keep (I think). This causes her attacks to ignore defense entirely. One of Spar's forms has a special called Bud Up (I think). This boosts his/her offence, AND stacks with the Atk up spell. With both of those, she can punch through Chorking's defense with ease. And the Death spell ALWAYS kills the giant green sludges.

[@Cresset]

0:48 Bo's dialogue is cryptic even for this game.

[@MrToondoon]

I giggled so much when the camera zoomed in on the Chorkling

[@medusathedecepticon]

I take it The Fly movie disturbs you as well then. Honestly can't say I blame you, especially that ending where the man faced fly almost got ate by a spider. *shivers*

[@kaisersyphrett7000]

That "GAH" was my reaction to Dr Tongue's Spider Form.... *pats back* I can relate.

[@_Hamler]

Damn, getting heavy nostalgia from this video. I also remember commenting here a long time ago but I guess youtube deleted it, shame.

[@Paur]

The giant Gongheads were the enemy that always creeped me out. Looking like a combination of a mace and the surface of the moon. Craters within a head are just so cringe. Anyway, be glad you've never seen the giant fly on Ninja Blade. Jesus, you can never forget those eyes once you've seen them.

[@fifthace2247]

You hate flies? I hate wasps. The little fuckers are barely good for anything. They remind me of Machtroids in Super Metroid, only more annoying - They're almost carbon copies of the superior being (Metroids/Bees), are far less useful, and for some reason scare the crap out of me. Also bees are awesome.

[@OnEiNsAnEmOtHeRfUcKa]

Hopefully you'll never have the misfortune of encountering a hornet. If you think wasps are bad, hoo boy... You ain't seen nothing yet.

[@MF-Spiffylad]

These chorklings remind me of the metal mimic from brave frontier, both being rare, both being an enemy only with one difference, (chorklings being huge and metal mimics being metal versions of the bat mimic) and both have low HP but GODLY defences, taking little damage and dishing quite a lot out. Only difference being metal mimics are a requirement for high level evolutions in the game. Chorklings... To me, look damn fucking cool!

[@Hadaron]

Brave Frontier… now that’s a nostalgic name. My pfp is actually a drawing of a character from the Brave Frontier spinoff The Last Summoner that’s sadly no longer available.

[@theboomerpride]

I guess this git has a phobia of flys... you learn a new thing everyday

[@Mewseeker]

The "K" stand for "King". They're also called "Goo King" in the next Breath of Fire. Also the "A" in "A. Sludge" stand for "Atomic" (they didn't have to shorten the name in the Japanese version). And that's why mostly everything here is huge. Oh, the Goo King by the way drop Armed Gloves and Sacred Shell. Armor Gloves are some of my favorite shields in the game. ^^ You can also get them in the last dungeon but that's a bit further. :P An easy way to beat Chorkling is to use weapon that cast spells when used as item. Spell from items bypass magic immmunity so they make short work of ennemies with low hps and high defense.

[@abird7809]

Seems Atomic is common terminology in Japan for "Giant." I mean, we have Mario's Big Boos (Called Atomic Teresa in Japanese versions), and I recall a giant slime in Zelda II named Atomic Bot.

[@BlazeXth]

Some time ago, i read an article that said that if the amount of oxygen present in the atmosphere would be a little more higher, the size flies would be could be comparable to a car, between other things (dog-sized rats for example)... Nightmare Fuel for free git

[@dmpokemontrainer]

I actually think that Chorkings are kinda cute. Yes, really. And that's just my opinion.

[@ssjsmith8879]

I like when flies rub their forelimbs together like they were little hands. They look at piles of refuse like they won the lottery!

[@justanotheraltaccount7821]

[@anevilghost670]

Oh man, if you think Chorkings are bad, wait until you play a Shin Megami Tensei game and fight against Beelzebub.

[@DragoonKnightL]

Wasn't there a spell in the game called "chop" that did a fix amount of damage of 50-75 dam no matter the defense?

[@dmorley100]

Really? These are the easiest things to kill on the island, and the EXP they give is second only to the golden slimes/K. Sludges. Worst case scenario, you miss the Chop-Chop spell and you wanna save Ryu's dragon powers for K. Sludges, you can go to Guntz and buy either F. Spices, ShaveIces, or Frizbees for 100 gold a piece and any of those items will one-shot these things.

[@whoisthisgit]

It's nothing to do with how difficult they are to kill, it's because they're disgusting and I hate running into them.

[@Simpkin_Simpaa]

I found a weird way to deal with these. If you defeat the chef cat that attempts to cook your party and you've followed all instructions, then you'll get access to the special move CHOP CHOP and that's a one shot kill on chorkings

[@Soddarkryder]

Yep, that work wonders. If you have chopchop on a character that isn't in the party atm, you can also fill your inventory with frizbees bought at guntz 100c each, and use one when the big bug shows up.

Chorkings aren't that bad if you have Katt with you and she's Shamanized. Use her "Charge" ability, and have everyone else defend (or attack, up to you.). One turn later, wha-bam!! One hit kill!! Since Katt is so fast, she'll easily be able to put down Chorkings.
