Commenting for the algorithm, this series really helped me get into Qud. Currently the farthest I’ve ever gotten, true kin Artifex sniper/dual-wield short swords build that has taken me (metaphorically, I haven’t actually been yet) to the steps of Golgotha. Unfortunately poor Dell was deprived of all of his limbs and face by a madpole on his way to buy armor, and only had enough uber juice grow one arm back. Going to try to fish out the gear and implants he lost with his limbs. After that, I’m sending my little engineer off to Golgotha for a blaze-of-glory suicide run, armed only with a chain pistol, a backpack full of high-explosive grenades, and a deathwish. My one hope is that it will be nothing short of balls-to-the-wall glorious. Thanks for the guide!
I love this. It's really great to know I helped you get into this awesome game, but I love to read how the early steps of qud are going. I won't spoil how (unless you'd really like me to) but there are ways of regrowing your limbs that don't require ubers, however at your stage they are a little exploitative. if you can manage to beat golgatha in your state, first of all, congrats, but you may have an easier time getting your limbs back! Thanks so much for feeding the ever-hungry maw of the algorithm and for watching my vids! I hope maybe you can keep me filled in on Dells struggles!
Thank you. I've played this game for 69 hours and I haven't been able to get through golgotha, I thought I just wasn't cut out for Qud but with this tutorial I think I can do it. Thanks for not spoiling the experience too you're a rare type of guide and I appreciate that.
The more I watch this series the more I am impressed by how good your format, script and delivery are. I would not be surprised to hear that you are a teacher. You deserve far more views and subs than you have.
Loved the series - it helped me out immensely! Had to rewatch couple of videos after playing to solidify what you gone trough in lessons, but now I'm doing way way better on my runs. Game is immensely fun! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have watched all the videos (except the mutant one) in a couple of days and they have been very helpful. It's a lot of information to assimilate (even if they are "basic" things) but with time I will learn them.. "Journey before Destination" hehe (it will be worth the journay through the lands of Qud). Live and drink.
Great Video, I really like your channel because I love the world of Qud. A good tip for new players: before you go to deep in the caves, take a recoiler with you to get back if you getting lost.
Thanks for the series! I have wanted to get into this game for a while. Can't wait to expand and do some really weird builds. This game looks almost limitless!
Does anyone know how reverse engineer works ? It says 25% chance to learn schematics but in my game play I have found neither SCHEMATICS or managed to GAIN ANY from disassemble. And I've disassembled about a HUNDRED different things so far. It's like it doesn't even work??????
Thank you so much for your tutorials! I was finally able to get into the game after a very long time pondering whether I should buy it, but it seemed to daunting. I've played around 10hrs since I started watching you and I'm having a blast. How long do you think I should stick to the Joppa start? I've died 4 times and each run I can make it even further, but I'm growing kind of tired of doing the same starting quests over and over.
If you're starting to get sick of Joppa. Then that's as good a time as any, but I find this means I need a break from qud, don't burn yourself out! The random starting areas aren't too much harder, but you will need to recognize which starting quest is necessary and which isn't. I've gotten starting quests at random villages that are very instantly too much! If this is the case, take some time and do some exploring around the marshes. I really like salt dessert start but I've gotten weird looks for that, either way, as long as you're enjoying yourself, take on random villages!
@@BigSimple Thanks for your timely answer once again! Maybe I phrased that incorrectly. I'm not sick of Joppa, is just since I'm still new and die relatively early (around lvl 12) I'm growing kind of tired of doing the Critters and Copper Wire quests every single time I restart, it just gets repetitive, but I love the town of Joppa and everything else, is just those 2 quests now feel like a chore I must complete before the actual run starts.
Oh no I totally get what you mean, I also get kind of exhausted by taking the starting quests, definitely that's when I try a random village, but I usually find myself going back to Joppa eventually 😃
salt dunes is one of the easier starting locations since it puts you closer to the six day stilt. get the quest to go there, beeline and boom easy levels right at the start.
I have been trying to hold off gettingn tinkering till after golgotha because u can learn it from the cave bears but maybe that is a bad idea just to save a little bit if sp
Seeing as it takes a little time to warm up tinkering and that it is most helpful to the mid-late game, you could definitely get away with getting it that way. There is an added bonus to grabbing scavenger before you get to golgatha but I won't spoil that.
Just found this channel because of the upcoming Palladium Reef! Will there be more of these guides? Because even with all this help, the game is kicking my ass!
I am working on the next episode, it has just been very slow because of how dense the content of the subject is. thank you for watching and for your patience!
I hot the game a month ago, and stopped playing almost imideatly, becouse it was very hard to understand, and i also died constantly. After finding this series, and installing the survival guide mod, i can say that every minute in game is worth it.
Honestly, I'd still love to see a video about Golgotha and how to get through it without cheese. I've beaten it maybe 3 or 4 times now, can get _to_ it with decent consistency, and have a mental list of things I do each playthrough before I even think about entering it, but I still usually die there.
@@BigSimple Awesome! Your tutorial series has been super helpful. I got to the end of this one and discovered there was not another one after and I was like, "I've shared my water with you, Big Simple, now give me the rest of your secrets!" lol
Man, you are so fucking good. I am from Russia, and we just do not have any guides on Russian language. Thank you for you work. Will you do more guides about this game?
thanks so much! I'm really glad this video ended up helping! I am currently working on the next video, "mutants and cooking+gathering" but it's a very big topic and requires a lot more time.
Damn, sooo much information in a non-spoilery, humorous way. Love it! Thank you Mr. Simple!

I'm really glad I could help! and no worries for no spoilers, it's what I would want, if I was looking for a tutorial

I am really enjoying your tutorials, they have made Qud very accessible and fun to explore. Looking forward to your next video!
Keep up the great work
Amazing my man, so many quality of life tips in this series! Keep em coming!
I freaking love your descriptions of difficulty levels , you are awesome!!
Glad you like them! thanks so much!

Hey just went through your tutorials. Really appreciate you making them! I've gone back and liked each one.
thank you so much for this! I'm so glad I could help, and really appreciate the return gesture! it seriously makes a huge difference!
your video production is very good, and you deserve more views than you have.

that early game recoiler is *essential*

I hope you are able to get into it, it's so worth it.
I like your editing and narration in this series, they're fun and very informational. Bigups!
Glad you like them!
the animation is another level, you should be the kruggsmash of qud
wow, thanks so much!
Qudsmash of Krugg
"This is not a place of honor" Good one, very nice 🤣

@@BigSimple When is the video about mutations going to happen.
salt dunes is one of the easier starting locations since it puts you closer to the six day stilt. get the quest to go there, beeline and boom easy levels right at the start.
still waiting on that mutants video ;) also how do you guys open the mini menu that shows all dropped items on a screen?
Will there be another part to this great series?
Eventually!
I have been trying to hold off gettingn tinkering till after golgotha because u can learn it from the cave bears but maybe that is a bad idea just to save a little bit if sp

Solid tutorial, that outro makes me hungry tho...
The real trick is getting out of Golgotha without a sore throat...
Golgotha is hill where Big J was crucified.
So, the name is a hint for its difficulty.
Very helpful and informative thanks 🙏
Thanks a lot for these tutorials
I really hope they help!

thanks! also nice NL icon lol

thx for this!
Strata 25: We thought we were an advanced culture...
No tutorial 9? :(
It's on the way, I promise! Needed to collect my thoughts on mutants before I could put them in a tutorial

Haha I love this! I guess I need to discover a few more secrets before I can full share
Man, you are so fucking good. I am from Russia, and we just do not have any guides on Russian language. Thank you for you work. Will you do more guides about this game?
