This is WAY more helpful than the tutorial videos from flight or any other ive seen so far. Thanks! Very thorough and im happy you didnt gloss over the flavor text and stuff, it helps flesh out whats going on
Thanks for the great video! One minor point: When you gained control of Lita, I believe you would have had to discard Leo as that gave you two Allies (you also would have lost the extra action he gave, unless you gained Lita as your fourth action).
Thanks so much for this video, exactly what I needed as I anxiously await to open this game on Christmas Day!!!! This game looks absolutely beautiful and amazing
Thanks for making this video. I just got my copy of the game and played through this scenario. Then I watched your video to see if I was playing things correctly. Nice, entertaining video, and helpful!
Due to my infrequency of playing this fantastic game, I have to always start back at the night of the zealot (despite own every deck and deluxe set). I always come to this Slicker Drips play through.
Just coming on to mention that you performed the Engaging of the enemy incorrectly at 16:10 When an Enemy attacks, you can't Fight or Evade, the Ghoul just does the damage. You can only Fight or Evade during the Investigator phase, not the Enemy phase.
At 16:10 he just started the investigator phase. He had just finished the mythos phase by drawing the ghoul (along with a treachery for wendy). What he did was correct.
Shouldn't you be getting resources everytime you successfully investigate with Roland due to his Ally? If so, you could have got the gun out much sooner.
Excellent video..this gives you a very good insight into the game. The combat seems a bit overcomplicated..I think that would take a bit of getting used to, especially with two players playing various cards at the same time.
At 16:58 in the video an evade is done. the target number needed is two, the character attempting the evade has a 2 evade innate, the chit drawn says there is a -1 applied (meaning the character now has a 1 evade). How was the evade successful? I know manual dexterity was played, but wasn't it played for it's card text (bottom) and not sacked for it's "plus" skill attributes (upper left corner)?
You can only play skill cards for their attribute symbols, the card text is an additional effect - in this case stopping you playing multiple copies of it at once and letting you draw an extra card if you were successful
this is more entertaining than watching high end graphic games. Thank you for sharing, and wouldnt it be nice if this could be an on line games like Magic the Gathering.?
I think I found one mistake: the Monster is engaged with Roland, then Wendy attacks the Monster. But to be able to attack the Monster she first has to spend one Action to engage it and then one more Action to attack it. So at the end she only has one Action left!
You should have gained two clues for killing the priest at the end, but I don't know that you get to bring clues with you to next scenarios anyway. Overall this seems like a light card drafter with neat theme. Cheers.
So, the Hallway is where I paused my first solo playthrough and I found your video. I notice that you seem to have skipped your Mythos phase again. Was this a gaff on your part, or are all the Acts considered to each have a 'first round' where the Mythos turn is skipped? I suspect this is correct, because the draw was pretty intimidating with some sort of strong ghoul in the cellar and another card that really set me back quite a bit before I could even move out of the hallway which would set me back an activity on each investigator. Ouch. I also didn't understand why the Hallway had a shroud value if it had no clues. Then as I was considering these things I started really looking at my cards. There is so much information going on between cost/type/modifiers(fast)/and just what some of the language on the cards mean. "Max 1 skill commit" is a great example on Guts. I take it to mean that once I use Guts, only 1 card can be committed to the skill check. If I used Guts, it would be the 1 card according to the modifier...but, does that include the 1 'skill commit' allowed of my fellow investigator(s)? Or is it simply saying no other 'skill' cards may be commited to the play, but other non-skill cards can still be sacked for skill bonuses? Edit: I realize I could just watch the rest of your video, but I don't really want to spoil the interactions, and just discover them for the first time. Some of the mechanics seem a little obscure without starting to dig through all the cards and possibly revealing some bits of story I would regret. I suspect I should have skipped the mythos phase in the beginning of act 2, because that icy ghoul in the cellar plus both my investigators being down an activity out the gate is rough.
+ph0ngLP Hi! It’s been a while so I’m a bit foggy on AH but a friend of mine cleared things up for me: if I skipped the mythos phase at the start of act 2 that was wrong. When a card refers to max 1 skill commit it means you can only play one copy of that card per check.
Ah, neither of the things that I thought! Thanks for clearing that stuff up. I would give you infinite thumbs up for your rapid response, but sadly youtubes chaos bags only allow me a meager +1 at best.
Great presentation, as usual. A question, though: will you continue the playthrough? I don't mind spoilers, so it would be great. I'm a bit curious about the more involving play after this. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this with us. I haven't finished this video yet, (because of spoilers), but did want to know if you think this has replay value, for solo players? Cheers.
There are different characters to try, and if you really like the deckbuilding aspect (though you might need two core sets for that from what I've seen on other videos) there's replay value there The story and locations are going to be the same every time so if that's what you're more interested in, you'll need the expansions to keep new stories coming

downloaded this yesterday on Tabletop Simulator. watched your video twice to fully understand. thanks man. I can't wait to be home and start playing
Of all the playthroughs, this was the most coherent and concise. Great job!
Thanks for this. I was stumbling a bit on the the first scenario and I think you've straightened it out for me.
Played twice solo this week. Just watched this vid to check I was doing things correctly. Good job.
Thank you for taking the time to do this playthrough. It has helped me tons in 2018. Cheers Slickerdrips:)
Glad I could help :) it's great to see this video is still helping a couple of years later!
Thanks for the playthrough, Tom! I just got my copy the other day and am hoping to get it to the table soon.
Thanks for the great video! One minor point: When you gained control of Lita, I believe you would have had to discard Leo as that gave you two Allies (you also would have lost the extra action he gave, unless you gained Lita as your fourth action).
I hadn't even thought of that! Thanks, note added
Great play through :) keep them coming please for ALL the Arkham series.
Great playthrough, Tom!
Excellent playthrough, more valuable than the official FF vid. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this video, exactly what I needed as I anxiously await to open this game on Christmas Day!!!! This game looks absolutely beautiful and amazing
Thanks for the playthrough. Just got this myself and looking forward to playing it. :)
Thanks for making this video. I just got my copy of the game and played through this scenario. Then I watched your video to see if I was playing things correctly. Nice, entertaining video, and helpful!
Thanks Brad!
Due to my infrequency of playing this fantastic game, I have to always start back at the night of the zealot (despite own every deck and deluxe set). I always come to this Slicker Drips play through.
Glad to have you back, John :D I'm like that with Mage Knight, by the time I have chance to play it again I'm back to the tutorial!
Just coming on to mention that you performed the Engaging of the enemy incorrectly at 16:10 When an Enemy attacks, you can't Fight or Evade, the Ghoul just does the damage. You can only Fight or Evade during the Investigator phase, not the Enemy phase.
At 16:10 he just started the investigator phase. He had just finished the mythos phase by drawing the ghoul (along with a treachery for wendy). What he did was correct.
I think games like this should always have a high level game concept tutorial that also illustrates the game’s general flow as easy as possible
Another excellent and helpful video! Thank you for sharing it. Your playthroughs are my favorite.
At 18:59, I don't understand why only one action is used. You have played Emergency Cache and Sneak Attack, so isn't that 2 actions?
It is indeed, I've added it to the corrections - thanks!
beautifully done. I wish I seen this one first. thank you.
Thanks for this! I hope the camera wasn’t too heavy to hold all this time!
Thanks for this great play through.it was really a great help!!
Shouldn't you be getting resources everytime you successfully investigate with Roland due to his Ally? If so, you could have got the gun out much sooner.
Yeah, I remember at some point in the video but after many opportunities were wasted!
Good video! I've a question though. Why didn't the Ghoul priest get exhausted/stunned after you hit him with Roland at about 41:00 ?
Excellent video..this gives you a very good insight into the game. The combat seems a bit overcomplicated..I think that would take a bit of getting used to, especially with two players playing various cards at the same time.
Very well done! Thank you.
I'm not quite sure if you can have Lita Chandler AND Leo De Luca at the same time equiped :P

You can only play skill cards for their attribute symbols, the card text is an additional effect - in this case stopping you playing multiple copies of it at once and letting you draw an extra card if you were successful
When discarding a card at random, especially with one hand rolling a die is preferred =)
Don’t worry, the outcome of the playthrough games don’t mean anything :)
Couldn't Roland have fought the ghoul without the gun? I think I saw a 4 strength on his card.
Are you allowed to use an ammo and attack as one action? I thought using cards with that arrow use up one action
Hi! Where was this in the video? It’s been a while, I’ll have a check 🙂
You can only use 1 Ally. You got 1 slot, so when you get Lita you discard the other right?
Wendy earned Lita plus victory points, does that mean I can use Lita with Daisy ?
Thank you.
this is more entertaining than watching high end graphic games. Thank you for sharing, and wouldnt it be nice if this could be an on line games like Magic the Gathering.?
There's an app version of Elder Sign which is in the same series of games, it could happen!
I think I found one mistake: the Monster is engaged with Roland, then Wendy attacks the Monster. But to be able to attack the Monster she first has to spend one Action to engage it and then one more Action to attack it. So at the end she only has one Action left!
Ups I think I forgot that Roland evaded the Monster so he was not engaged with it anymore...
You should have gained two clues for killing the priest at the end, but I don't know that you get to bring clues with you to next scenarios anyway.
Overall this seems like a light card drafter with neat theme. Cheers.
Really enjoyed your play through. I have a question, do you reset the health and sanity of your investigators after each mission?
Thanks! Yeah, you reset most things unless you’ve taken physical or mental trauma, that stays with you over the course of the campaign
So, the Hallway is where I paused my first solo playthrough and I found your video. I notice that you seem to have skipped your Mythos phase again.

slickerdrips Cheers!
Forgot the enemy phase after Ghoul Priest entered play. He should have taken a swing at Roland right away.
I'm just here to say that it is lcg.
Didn't I mention that?
i did not watch the video. I'm a simple man, I saw the thumbnail - I triggered.
can you use dodge to an enemy engaged at you? (card says at your location)
cards that target other investigators when playing solo apply to you instead?
