“I wonder if the outline is gold when the signature is charged” , completely misses his character glowing and leaving a trail of blue when it is ready as well as the bar flashing as it drains
Hey NL, you seem to be having some trouble with the pits. The way I've learned to deal with them is recognizing that walking alone won't make you fall in, so you can always run against the edge of the pit THEN dash across to guarantee that you make it across.
Unless you're dealing with one of those suspended platforms. You need to distance yourself to get onto the middle one and then get to the actual platform
Hey NL, just so you know; your signature Arcana is inter-changeable with your Standard Arcana (Right Click), the only difference between Signature and Standard Arcana is that when your Charge (The blue bar under your Health) reaches full, the Signature gains an additional ability. (Also your character will glow white when your Signature is charged) One last thing: I definitely recommend testing out some of those Arcana/Signatures on those dummies, the Blue Orb in your starting home instantly charges your signature so you can see what it does!
Enemies take less damage from elements they have a "type advantage" against, but they take even LESS damage from elements of their OWN type. Fire > Air > Earth > Lightning > Water > Fire. So Fire arcana deals less to ice (water) enemies, but even LESS to fire enemies. Lightning and Air enemies aren't in the game, so no enemy ultra resists those elements. Also the first potion each run heals exactly 200, but they heal less each time you buy it in the same run.
That was one of the suggestions i had on my comment last vid, i think we are getting backlog episodes. From what he was saying on Kate's stream last night he made it to the 3rd boss so he probably has gotten this
There's two npcs to the left of the portal that you use to enter the dungeon the guy let's you spend 10 gems to set the first boss to whatever one you last died to and the woman will give you 200 gold for 20 gems which gives you a pretty great start
Wow I'm early 4th even. I started playing a lot of this game, and I've been using the comments of this channel to learn so much about this game, as well as what NL learns in his journeys. Thanks so much.
Have you tried using the lightning rush arcana? It may not be the exact name, but it is the lightning one where you dash to an enemy and teleport around the screen dealing tons of damage before returning to where you were before the dash. Works really well as a boss killer if you use it as a signature double cast to get a 70 combo
Hey Nl, if you go to the market place, at the top right there will be a tailor who can give you certain cloaks for chaos gens, the cloaks are expensive but worth it in my opinion, I recommend getting valor, it increases health and defense. (BTW a couple of tips, when the boss is yellow that means he cant be stunned, after they attack they will be vulnerable, dodge until they attack, then hit them to stun them, and then spam your arcana. Try to fill all of your arcana slots before the first boss especially with the ground king. Finally try to get a relic on every floor, mirror shield is very nice.) Good Luck.
Ice seekers with ball lightning is a great combo. You freeze'em and then you charge up the ball. You one shot most basic enemies and the cc on the enemies is great.
Yo having to turn you down on the audio wasn't so bad, sometime I turn it to max because other shit is going on and I need the Nlss to reverberating haha.
when projectiles hit each other they deal damage to each other. this means that some spells can be used very defensively such as stalwart defenders and vortex tornado. earthen aegis is will also straight up block projectiles for its duration.
Bought this game last night and out 10 hours into it, loads a fun. Longevity will vary from person to person but until then you'll enjoy the time you spend. Got past the first two council members on my first run but haven't beaten 3 yet
FYI you can enter Earthlord's arena without triggering him so you can clear some trees which should always be top priority in that fight. Just stay as low as you can and use ranged attacks to clear the trees. Also you really need to pay attention to enemy patterns and only go in for the attack when they aren't glowing with super armor.
The shop for upgrading your outfit only works when you have one with a benefit so if was a waste for you to use you can buy new ones in top left of hub
I played this game when it was new and I've been playing it more recently (updates have made it even better it's worth going back to, lots of qol and other things) Most frustrating thing in the world while watching other people play the game is watching them spam basic arcana while cooldowns are up, like sitting there struggling to close the distance on an archer with 30hp left, taking hits in the process, when you had a giant fireball to lob in it's face. This game is so much fun to play, give it a try for yourself and once the muscle memory builds up it's just so much fun and so satisfying
Amulet of sundering is pretty good. It looks like just a 1 damage boost, but most aracana are multi hitting. 3 hits of 9 on your basic is better than 3 hits of 8. And you get after images when you have a signature charge.
Buy new robes they grant stat bonuses. You must have some kind of crowd controlling arcana(water splash or something like that is real useful). I prefere the faster arcana for basic(ice dagger) and the electric dash seems really good. The merchants reshuffle their stock if you reenter the plaza.
Tip - get the pathfinder relic, learn some of your own combos, not great at the game but managed to get to the third boss at least 10 times with this method
Northernlion's probably already figured this out, but the Council bosses always attack in sets of 3, 4, and 6 depending on the floor they're on. first set of floors, they attack three times, but pose. while posing, you casn attack and stun them. attacking any other time usually isn't worth it, especially not on later floors.
You start with 4 types of arcana: basic, dash, standard, and signature. Each can be enhanced during the run to make them stronger except the signature, which is pre-enhanced at the start. Shuffle man and vampire doctor will NEVER take anything but a standard arcana; your basic, dash, and signature arcanas are safe (I'm unsure if the signature arcana can be replaced mid-run but I believe not). Shuffle man will take a random standard arcana, enhance it, and shuffle it in with 4 other enhanced standard arcanas. I don't know if he only takes unenhanced arcana, but it's a good gamble if you do it early on.
They're definitely a gamble, but both can be amazing early and even late in the game. Getting an enhanced arcana can beat the unenhanced one you brought, if you use it well, and the doctor's relics can be great for healing. Even the Critical Placebo increases critical hit chance by 12%, apparently.
I'm usually a proponent and defender of the fact that NL is in fact on the majority of games that he plays. But missing 'press f to drop' two millimeters above his relic is difficult to defend.
Look NL if you wanna keep emphasising that whole "#LionBlind" thing, then fine, but at least notice text telling you what to do, a few millimetres above your own cursor. Ok he did notice it, but still.

The Evilest of Penguins classic egg
Press F to pay respects, one day Egg will remember to change his relic and perhaps learn F also drops them
Tmancasper22 damn you beat me to it. F
Thank the lords that he eventually saw the prompt for it.
joshua doolan F
Pongze Lor Yeah, it took a bit but at least he saw it
It's been a while since Egg pulled some shit so stupid I bought a game from pure disgust. But he got me this time.
Press f to drop. Too bad it didn’t say that on the screen slightly above where he was looking
Splintorious he saw it did say that and he saw it and dropped it
For people that care soo much about what he sees or doesn't see, you seem to have missed he did read that and successfully sold the relic.
I did the exact same thing the first time.. I feel ashamed for my blindegg attitude
F
I was about to type the same thing, but looking at it now that would have been jumping the gun. in THIS case, the egg can have some credit, for now.
"Press F to drop"
I'm a little angry
Why is this commented 100 times even though he figured it out in the video, just a little patience please guys just a tea spoon of it.
Honestly, it was quite hilarious to see him try a few possibilities while the answer was staring at him.
oh yeah I was definitely shaking my head at that part , there's just...so many comments telling him to press f though
I only press F to pay respects tho
Hey NL, you seem to be having some trouble with the pits. The way I've learned to deal with them is recognizing that walking alone won't make you fall in, so you can always run against the edge of the pit THEN dash across to guarantee that you make it across.

(Also your character will glow white when your Signature is charged)
One last thing: I definitely recommend testing out some of those Arcana/Signatures on those dummies, the Blue Orb in your starting home instantly charges your signature so you can see what it does!
There’s one more difference: the arcana you choose as your signature is automatically enhanced.
Enemies take less damage from elements they have a "type advantage" against, but they take even LESS damage from elements of their OWN type. Fire > Air > Earth > Lightning > Water > Fire. So Fire arcana deals less to ice (water) enemies, but even LESS to fire enemies. Lightning and Air enemies aren't in the game, so no enemy ultra resists those elements.
Also the first potion each run heals exactly 200, but they heal less each time you buy it in the same run.
Btw first boss does 3 attacks then stops , second one 4 and third one 5 , so you should count them to know when to attack them and get the max damage
That was one of the suggestions i had on my comment last vid, i think we are getting backlog episodes. From what he was saying on Kate's stream last night he made it to the 3rd boss so he probably has gotten this
and final boss is 6
Magin Shi He’s just an egg I don’t think they know how to count
If you pick up the blue orb in your house it fills up you ultimate bar so you can test it out before taking it into the run 👌🏼
Watching that signature charge go down without him using it is so painful
Just made it to the second elemental boss and died, thought I was trash, but then I watched this video. Thanks for restoring my self confidence Egg :)
There's two npcs to the left of the portal that you use to enter the dungeon the guy let's you spend 10 gems to set the first boss to whatever one you last died to and the woman will give you 200 gold for 20 gems which gives you a pretty great start
Sytle Serrano thats some late game strats, he should buy some robes first
I did not know this, thanks for sharing!
Tell NL that the clothes you buy give you stat upgrades, they aren’t just cosmetic
only when you have all the clothes unlocked
if they did he would have 525 health instead of the base of 500 because both of the starting outfits give +5% max health and some other stats
Nah. The starting ones only give stuff when you have most of the others unlocked, but all the other ones do something right off the bat.
Yeah, the starting ones don't until you get everything, but every other one does from the start.
Is this replacing Kate?
The day after their anniversary? That would be cold.
2:40 "That's my purse!!!"
ByronGman "I DONT KNOW YOU!"

I love Ice Spear, and found some combos that work very well...

kunal gahlawat Lightening Rush is amazing.
yeah just started using it. It is so much fun.
I like a melee build with orbitals.
Numbers For Days
Giving the fire boss long hair of actual fire is very nice, something i didn't know i wanted more of til now
Has he changed his starting relic from the battery yet?
Do you even need to ask? Come back after 183 episodes and 3 seasons.
Watching the Eggs improvement throughout a series is quite a thing to behold.
Hey Nl, if you go to the market place, at the top right there will be a tailor who can give you certain cloaks for chaos gens, the cloaks are expensive but worth it in my opinion, I recommend getting valor, it increases health and defense.

OneButtery Boy nah yah gotta go awe ( the gold one) and the vampire glasses relic you heal so much
Big red button is a great relic and it's cursed. So are the shiny shoes. Most cursed relics are situational but there's a few great ones
I somewhat disagree, I get much further with cursed relics than without. Assuming you can handle the tradeoffs.
I retract my statement with the cursed relics, i assume i have been unlucky and have gotten some trash cursed relics, thank you all for your input.
Awe is pretty great, crit builds are op.
7:36 NL laughs at the same time the shopkeeper does, it syncs up perfectly
Ice seekers with ball lightning is a great combo. You freeze'em and then you charge up the ball. You one shot most basic enemies and the cc on the enemies is great.
Press F to pay respects, but not to drop.
Is this replacing enter the gungeon?
Is this replacing Hollow Knight?
Is this replacing Dead Cells?
Is this replacing Into The Breach?
Is this replacing flinthook?
is this replacing isaac?
Thanks for the company.
Yo having to turn you down on the audio wasn't so bad, sometime I turn it to max because other shit is going on and I need the Nlss to reverberating haha.

2:41 "THAT'S MY PURSE!"
Also NL great to hear you've begun learning the nuances of the game! Been enjoying the series!
And then 6:30 in the menu it says press F to drop
Bought this game last night and out 10 hours into it, loads a fun. Longevity will vary from person to person but until then you'll enjoy the time you spend. Got past the first two council members on my first run but haven't beaten 3 yet

The aqua basic is so good man. It's been an important part of a lot of my winning runs, and with damage up it can hit 15-20 damage a hit
One of the Perks of the chaos arcana is that for the element chests you they count as all elements

This game is so much fun to play, give it a try for yourself and once the muscle memory builds up it's just so much fun and so satisfying
I just love how in this game and Isaac you just like talk about random stuff like the whole time
"ive learned what the blue bar does" thank god the egg learns.
"THAT'S MY PURSE!" is what Bobby Hill yelled.
Hey, NL, the shops of arcana in the dungeon aren't for unlocks, they are for that run.
Always remember, Egg... You can talk to Mim the Mimic to change your starting relic to further suit your build
He met the pinata...
Literally the secret to winning the game in one puzzle.
aggravating to watch as usual even without any knowledge of the game. 10/10
Amulet of sundering is pretty good. It looks like just a 1 damage boost, but most aracana are multi hitting. 3 hits of 9 on your basic is better than 3 hits of 8. And you get after images when you have a signature charge.
From 8 damage to 9 per hit is actually a pretty decent upgrade. It's basically 12.5% more damage overall, which is not too shabby.
Lion blind never dies
Egg, i strongly advice checking the top right of the main plaza, you should be able to get robes that buff your stats
Fully Charged Signature Ball Lightning is actually one of the strongest single target Arcana in the game.
When he started fighting the piñata I lost my shit, never change NL
I believe Bobby Hill's words were "That's my purse!" and "I don't know you!"
I wish so much this was a RPG... Terranigma feelings
vZamfir ikr
that's what I say when I open a chest in fortnite
use the relic that lets you keep your ultimate so you can save it for a time that actually requires it
Buy new robes they grant stat bonuses. You must have some kind of crowd controlling arcana(water splash or something like that is real useful). I prefere the faster arcana for basic(ice dagger) and the electric dash seems really good. The merchants reshuffle their stock if you reenter the plaza.
0:53 requesting a full aqualung NL version
NL arcana don't fit into slots. You can put any arcana on any key and move them around as you wish.
"PRESS F TO DROP"
"Right click, left click, Q, E, R..."
Tip - get the pathfinder relic, learn some of your own combos, not great at the game but managed to get to the third boss at least 10 times with this method
Press F to pay respect to Ryab's reading comprehension.
Within the first minute. Of course, Egg sings Aqualung. And, consequently, causes me to inhale coffee into my sinuses. -claps-
NL learned how to use Creampie the collector this episode!!!
"Press F to Drop" Right there in that menu...
i think the captains ring is pretty good, just need all different elements for you loadout
Bobby Hill: I don't know you. That's my purse. *kicks someone in groin*
egg, you should only try and hit bosses when they aren't yellow, if they are yellow they can't be stunned by your attacks.
When it literally says press f to drop and NL tries most of the surrounding keys
NL, buy the earth shield arcana and after that, buy the different outfits. this will really boost the outcome of your runs
Northernlion's probably already figured this out, but the Council bosses always attack in sets of 3, 4, and 6 depending on the floor they're on. first set of floors, they attack three times, but pose. while posing, you casn attack and stun them. attacking any other time usually isn't worth it, especially not on later floors.
It's nl we are talking about I doubt he's figured it out at episode 8.
Bobby Hill: "That's my purse! I don't know you!"
Hey Ryan you actually don't unlock Arcana while in a dungeon unless you get it from the Bosses, not including the mini-bosses
Love this series.
Love this game and I can't wait to watch NL get gaped by the last boss, anyone who remembers their first time knows what I'm talking about
You start with 4 types of arcana: basic, dash, standard, and signature. Each can be enhanced during the run to make them stronger except the signature, which is pre-enhanced at the start. Shuffle man and vampire doctor will NEVER take anything but a standard arcana; your basic, dash, and signature arcanas are safe (I'm unsure if the signature arcana can be replaced mid-run but I believe not). Shuffle man will take a random standard arcana, enhance it, and shuffle it in with 4 other enhanced standard arcanas. I don't know if he only takes unenhanced arcana, but it's a good gamble if you do it early on.
Imo shuffle man and doctor are trash. You should just pick a standard arcana that's good instead
They're definitely a gamble, but both can be amazing early and even late in the game. Getting an enhanced arcana can beat the unenhanced one you brought, if you use it well, and the doctor's relics can be great for healing. Even the Critical Placebo increases critical hit chance by 12%, apparently.
Watching an ad before the video... in my mind "Ayy everybody"
Pls don't stop playing this one, at least 100% it
Loving these videos!
ok tips you will fall in love with some arcana cof cof evading zephyr
Hardest part for me to learn this game is that dashing doesn’t avoid projectiles. Like gungeon
Dashing/rolling in gungeon does avoid bullets. The very beginning and ending of the roll won't though.
This game has the potential to be legendary, excuse the pun.
Classic Case of LionBlind
8 damage to 9 damage is still a 12.5% increase in damage, that's pretty good.
If you see a rocket at the hub world relic shop you should get it, it makes it so that your blue arcana bar doesn't decrease whilst building uo
hi NL
everytime you try to say coup de grace you actually say coup de gras which translate to: ''fat strike''
Nice starting relic mate.
Bobby Hill says: "THAT'S MY PURSE, I DON'T KNOW YOU!" And then he proceeds to kick them squarely in the balls.
I'm usually a proponent and defender of the fact that NL is in fact on the majority of games that he plays.
But missing 'press f to drop' two millimeters above his relic is difficult to defend.
Finally, my daily dose
My mans egghead has sharp knees 😂
As an adult Crawley really sucks you're freaking hilarious but I love you videos
That water basic is my favorite :(
NL you get Portals to the shop rooms in the boss room...
THAT'S MY PURSE..... I don't know you! - Bobby Hill
Dude it said press F to drop like right there. Pulling my hair out over here.
I feel like NL should be dashing THROUGH enemies now that his dash actually deals damage when an enemy comes in contact with his path
Look NL if you wanna keep emphasising that whole "#LionBlind" thing, then fine, but at least notice text telling you what to do, a few millimetres above your own cursor.
Ok he did notice it, but still.
How long do you think it'll take him to learn you get a free relic if you kill all enemies before killing the boss of each floor?
As far as I can tell, you get gold damage if you strike with a complementary arcana type.
The old college try -Garfunkelion and Oates
Blind egg misses the PRESS THE F hint above the relic
Atlas is literally using earthbender moves.
6:36 LionBlind "press to drop F" right there on screen. F
NL, will you consider replying hollowknight after final free dlc release?
