... meh, better that you do it so it will have a chance of being completed in the first place.

Honestly? I'm honored that you feel that way, because finishing things I've started is something I've been trying to be in the habit of doing.

Today we're going to Gratz Kingdom BUT FIRST!


The doctor is in.


HOUSE MD this week on Fox


So there's Gratz (or Gratze or whatever) and it's inaccessable by land or sea, and the bridge in that cave collapsed (how do I know this? MAGIC!)


So we go by giant hole in the ocean floor.


Okay fine Gratze with an e


Told you the bridge was out.


Yeah. But hey the door is open this time!


After ascending some staircases we come to. . .


Er, damn man, I guess it's '3y Kingdom. Clearly it's a cover so people won't find it.


Yeah it totally dropped us in the middle of the fucking castle.

And of course we get caught.


Sheep, my only weakness!


I ain't so sneaky theif!

Mmm are you guys alright?

I'm fine.

Very interesting. I never thought we would come out in the center of the enemy castle!


Oh geez they put us in the cell with OTHER PEOPLE.


Why it is our old friends Berty and Bart!

True it is, true it is Berty.

Ahh! You guys!

Whoa, you were the dude underground!

Maxim, do you know these two?

They took the crown in Alunze Kingdom.

You're kidding! That incident?

Thanks to you we didn't get the crown!

You think I could just turn a blind eye to thievery?

What the hell are you doing here, anyway?

They must have pulled some stupid stunt.

You wish! We chase after big game. After all, we are the bros Berty and Bart!

Righto! We went for the king's crown, so there!

The crown again?! Don't you learn?

Maxim this is no time for small talk. We need to get out of here.

Absolutely. Selan, can you cast escape?

No, the spell is blocked.

You pretty people only know how to fight, you can't even open locks!

And why are you still here? Go ahead and escape! You can't unlock the door either, can you?!

Ha, I can unlock it with my eyes closed!

Then why are you still here?

There are four soldiers in the room ahead. I can escape when they leave.

Artist of thievery that we are, you see, we abhor violence.

So you say, but isn't it just that you're puny and weak in battle?

What did you say?!

If I'm mistaken, open that door and rid us of the soldiers! I'm waiting.

It looks like we have to prove ourselves. Out of my way!


Pfft yeah like they can really


oh word

Hmm. I see you speak the truth sometimes.

If we put our minds to it, there's nothing we can't do. Later losers!


How convenient for us!


Wow you're retarded.

and there are healing/save tiles!


Welp

You two didn't get far

Shut up okay! We know what we're doing!


Yeah, same soldiers from before, laughably easy.


House demonstrated his dragon blasting powers


It has the same animation as fireball, and does pretty good dark damage.


They run away again, I mean, what else are they going to do here?


A super exciting duneon full of. . . monsters? Why the hell do the Gratze kingdom keep their prisoners at the end of a maze full of puzzles and monsters? This is stupid. You're stupid.


Look well children, because these are one of maybe three holy elemental enemies! They're weak to dark, and drop gold eyes, which let you unleash a pretty wicked holy elemental attack.


I got ambushed by these guys and they were gay and put my people to sleep.


House learned Eliminator, which is a multi-target instant kill spell. Not like he ever used it. He used Dash sometimes, which does a fuckton of damage to all enemies, however I was never quick enough to screencap it.


What's behind HERE?!


Annoying to kill, but fried they're pretty fucking delicious. Not reccomended on sushi.


More examples of lame-ass-boss-turned-normal-enemy.


I had to hit a SWITCH to get to this okay it was complicated.


Lizards and shit.


Eww it's warm and stick and when I stab it, it gets goo all over my sword


That pot serves no purpose that I could figure out, since there is only one chest here (apart from the key) and no other buttons.


I pushed that pillar onto a button whee


Wheee bridges wheee


Oh no when I pass this eye, the door closes. I don't have anything to hide behind, so hmm. . .


So I shot it with an arrow! Poked in the eye.


Woo more stakes and stuff for hooking.


Oh LAWD. This is the only chest here.


Key time, time for keys


A puzzle! To advance, you have to move the tiles so that you can leave. When you step on the button in the middle, the tile moves (if it can) into the empty spot next to it. Nothing difficult.


See? Easy.


Seems like they got caught again. And there's that princly guy. Of course we intervene, because the prince says he's going to shoot them with the tank, which is a bit excessive.


LIke the badasses we are.


Of course, he remembers Selan by the retarded nickname Guy came up with.

Stop it, I hate that stupid name!

I knew we had seen him before, he was in the cave when the Ruby Icon got stolen!

Thanks to you, I messed up! Magical Selan, you're going to pay!

I told you not to call me that, it's embarrassing!

I never expected you to come here. What do you want?

First, I want you to let them go. Secondly, I want the engine from that tank.

What did you say? ha, ha ha! Everyone, did you hear that?


Yeah I think it's YOU who isn't aware of SHIT.

My Gratze army is the strongest in the world! This tank is invincible, stronger than any monster! I'd forget about it if I were you. There's just no way, you see.

Guy, did you hear someone talking in his sleep?

Nobody seems to be sleeping, though.

So, that wasn't someone talking in his sleep. Then what was it we just heard?

Just somebody talking nonsense, that's all.



Shut up! Get them! Get them all!


Ahahahah yeah okay good luck with that.


You're gunna need some cream, after this BURN

Alright you! I'll take the tank to your face so you can see up close what it can do!

syduck: that doesn't even make sense.


Ahahaha this game has become a parody of itself, with the burnage and now this fucking tank, look at it, there's a little king with a crown and a flag and ahahahaha holy fucking SHIT. I love this game.


He likes to use gigantic explody attacks, which are pretty lame honestly. This one only hits one person. He also felt the need to use one of his single target attacks to take out House no respect for the medical community


I used Selan's armor IP that heals everyone pretty much full and revives them, and it has the same animation as Valor, which is really cool. Pretty angel.


1 gold lol overall not too difficult except he hits hard and has a lot of hp so it's tough to keep the capsule monster alive.


And then of course he gets pissed and BLOWS UP THE CASTLE


What a crazy person. We warp away to Portravia, of course. But what about Berty and Bart?



Yeah, even I got fairly freaked. . . that is to say, a wee bit.

Hey boss, why did they help us anyway?

You got me there. Can't say, can't say.

They're okay, don't you think?

Seems that way. One thing is for certain: they're not cut out for thievin'.

What are we going to do now boss? We didn't get the crown and we ain't got no money.

How long is it going to take for you to really understand me, Bart?




When those guys were busy fighting, I took it. This is my strong point, don't you see.

Boss, you are the greatest! I mean, the master mover!

Tell me something I don't know! What say, it's party time in the city tonight!

Sounds serious, so delerious!

Yeah! But what ho? How are we going to cross here, fly? The bloomin' bridge is down!

Well look, they had to have come from somewhere! Me thinks it must be a secret path or somethin'!

Yeah, yeah. Blimey, you're right! Look out city lights!

They're actually pretty cool and crafty, I must say. I think this is the end of them though, as in we don't see them anymore. They'll live on I'm sure. So let's go give this engine (which is probably large and heavy and how are we just carrying it?) to Lexis.



Good! We've finished the remodeling plans. So MABEL BRING THE SHIP AROUND BITCH

Yes, Dr. Lexis.

How long will it take to remodel Excerion?

With us Geniuses working on it, not long! Ah, here it is!


so anyway they remodel it, woo


It sounds like. . . a plot device!

It sounds like Dual Blade ringing only. . . slightly different.

But very similar.


oh snap

What? Above Narvick. . . but why. . . ?

What do you mean why?

Narvick is a village on Shuman island. It's surrounded by mountains, cut off from all others. No one knows what kind of village it is or what people live there. There are two other islands near it, Strahda and Kamino. Each one has a spooky tower! We never get too close. But why would Doom Island stop there?

This sound is coming from the tower on Shuman island.

Hmm, I wonder if Doom Island has anything to do with that?

The winds around Doom Island are really gusting up a storm.

Only around Doom Island, huh?

It's Daos! It's got to be him!

He's trying to stop us from going there! Well, I didn't expect a warm welcome anyway.

If that's the case, I'm sure Excerion isn't strong enough.

Well let's stop standing around talking about it and go to fucking Narvick and see what the fuck is up!

Spoken like a true man.


Ready guys?!


IT'S AN AIRSHIP! BALLOONS ARE FOR KIDDYWINKIES!


And here's Narvick with the SPOOKY TOWER!

Actually, we're getting really close to the end. I'll do these towers and then make a video of the final sequence, Doom Island, the end boss battles, and the ending. Of course, first I'll get some eggs and maybe fight the Egg Dragon.

Normally it tells you to be on like lv99 to fight the dragon, but there's a glitch (IN THIS GAME?!) where he has the maximum HP possible, but they forget to put an hp cap, so if you heal him his hp rolls over to however much you heal him for, then you can kill him in one hit. SHOULD I DO THAT?

And then, once the game is over, the thread will live on. . . you'll see! Even when I move on to other games, this thread will still LIVE!

EDIT: gunna use Butts the rest of the game.
