Please share, like, comment, all of that! Working on the next part already as long as there’s a ton of demand for it! IF YOU WANNA REWATCH PART 1 AGAIN ruclips.net/video/quvbn4sPSEc/видео.html FINALE VIDEO-ruclips.net/video/-C42QNLmejo/видео.html Also I’m 100% serious about that Pirate101 requirement, 100k likes and we ball
This was fantastic. I was a character artist on this game and Pirate 101 back in the early 2010s. It is awesome seeing Morganthe on a thumbnail 12 or so years after I made her! Awesome video I loved it, brings me back to some great times working with very talented and hilarious developers at KingsIsle. Thank you for the great video!
Ay that's awesome. let it be known that whatever flaws the game might have you guys did a stellar job creating the aesthetics of this game. like they still look nice even after a decade
I've got two fun bits of trivia for ya! First, there was originally a quest to get the key to Celestia before it released. This quest was REALLY HARD. It involved a dungeon featuring some of the most difficult fights in the game. The dungeon was SO HARD that the devs made the quest optional, then removed it entirely. Second, the Selena Gomez crossover led to one of my favorite video game patch notes of all time. After a patch one day, long after the end of the Selena Gomez event, her NPC model reappeared in the Storm School. She couldn't be interacted with, but she was there! The devs patched this of course, noting: "The ghost of Selena Gomez past will no longer appear in the Storm school."
I think this specific tower was called “The SGS Warehouse” in Regent’s Square. There was a final quest to get the spiral key for celestia……..except it was also just so disgustingly hard with first instances of extreme cheating bosses
As someone whose family literally just did all the free sidequest stuff because our parents didn't approve enough to pay for a membership, it's really interesting to actually learn what the game I was playing was about lol
Right, I was too young to even know what paying for an online game was 😂 so I was forever locked behind a pay wall and despite my love for the game, never got to really play it.
With regards to the titans, I think the implication is that there’s the fire titan, ice titan, & storm titan who spawned the dragons, frost giants, & tritons in their own images. The spawns of the titans are the ones you summon. At least, that’s how I interpreted it.
thats exactly what it is. the frost giants in wintertusk are the children of the ice titan, they straight up tell you they are. safe to assume if the ice titan can have kids, so can the fire and storm titans.
So Epic Fun Fact: Around a few years ago, the devs ran a Spell Card audit, basically going back to balance old spells and making them stronger or weaker to make a more conductive gameplay experience whilst going through the story. Notably for Balance, they increased Power Nova's (the Level 48 spell) damage to around 645-700ish iirc while removing its attack debuff, and DEBUFFED Ra to slightly above Power Nova's original strength and giving it the original -50% damage debuff Power Nova had. Meaning Belloq used to be HARDER if he isn't still annoying with that added debuff to Ra.
As someone who played the Selena Gomez side quest, there WAS a nod to Wizards of Waverly Place. The whole reason she was kidnapped was to become the Wizard Queen for the crabs, because they had seen her play Alex Russo. (I don't remember if they called her Alex. It would be funny if they did). She tries to explain the mixup, saying she's an actress and has her album to release, but they don't heed her. At the end, she thanks you and tells you to keep an eye out for her album.
We should also be able to join Morganthe or any other villains (or become a shadow villain) and have more choice, though this would take a while to code ofc
You guys are criminal for making krysallis as long as it is and not releasing a world potion for it. That shit is completely and 100% unbearable and unacceptable. People will spend more time in that world then ALL of arc 3
Fun fact: nick Jonas is found in grizzleheim because he composed the music in Wintertusk. Which makes it even more weird that he is in game because he is STILL there since 2011
choopo trying to piece together the Wizard 101 lore is insane. Bro really went, "It's been out for over a decade, time to figure out a cohesive storyline for it" and here I am. Watching another hour long video on the topic
35:18 The quest being called "That's So Raven" in the world where Nick Jonas wrote the music is crazyyyy The Disney Channel to Wizard101 pipeline continues
as a huge wiz head i'm so glad u decided to continue covering the game's lore. its so involved especially when u start to add in the lore from pirate101 since they're in the same universe, all of the worlds in wizzy also exist in pirate and vice versa!
I love Wysteria and fun fact but all the schools use the magic schools differently, like Fire is more of a healer school for them while Life is for trapping. I wished they used that idea more 😭
Same with the school just being not great in general with having no homework or studies and instead slack off all the time. And because of that most of the students don’t become wizards and pursue other jobs when they graduate
In the grand scheme of things the Ember Island Players was a little pointless compared to everything else going on, but darnit I will defend that episode till the day I die.
Notably, that episode _isn't_ actually filler; it's a showcase of Fire Nation sentiment about the Gaang, and basically the only instance of Aang/Katara romance building (which a lot of people have soured on due to Zuko/Katara being much more fleshed out). If we're looking for filler in TLA, the only actual example is the compilation episode of "what's everyone doing in the Earth Kingdom," which has a bunch of character moments but is ultimately pointless in the overall plot.
Next comment will talk about how on both videos two seperate people pretend it was their birthday but this time that person will have their actual birthday when the video comes out
20:27 or Nick Jonas is originally from the wizard 101 world and he’s come from there into our world. This is what I believe and my mind cannot be changed.
Oh boy. If you thought Goth Spider Mommy was bad, get ready for *The Primodial Diety Divorce Arc!* Featuring: *An annoying Theurgist in distress!* *Ravenwood but not (as) incomptent!* *A cool russian polar bear!* *A talking skull!* *The cast of Star Trek!* *The Riddler!* *Old Cob's angry and psychotic kids!* *Old Cob's less angry and less psychopathic kid who everyone simps for!* *Old Cob's VERY angry wife!* The Wizard. *And of course, Old Cob!*
Absolutely incredible video man! The way you gather SO much Wizard101 lore and present it in an easily digestible manner is extremely impressive. I've learned more about the game's story from your videos alone than from my decade's worth of playing. Can't wait for part 3! Once this series is complete, KI should hire you to design the entire next arc 🙏
"and how did prospector Zeke get here before me? Are you an infiltrator? are you a neutral party? I'm too scared to ask" this entire video and the last were so funny I'm so glad I found your channel
I have never played wizard101. Most likely never will. For some reason I have spent a total of 2 hours learning about its lore and actually enjoying it. That’s the true magic here.
@@allyssadacruz6343 tbh the gameplay doesn’t really interest me. It seems like lots of micromanaging different abilities and I’m much more interested in games like the Far Cry series, red dead redemption series, ghost of Tsushima, those kinds of things. I’ll still keep coming back to this channel for the lore though. It does seem pretty cool.
Wizard 101 in a nutshell: "Merle, we rely on your knight and that legendary wand he carries. Our last line of defense will be Finnigan Jackalboots." "Finnigan, you are our final hope."
This game sounds so much crazier and cooler than the ads made it seem back then. The characters and even enemies all have so much visible personality for an MMO Actually, those ads didn't even show anything that'd give you a feel of what kinda game it even is. For all I knew, it could've been a boring math game with a wizard theme
"im not taking her heart, im taking her CAREER" had me absolutely dead i never played Wizard101 but thank you for braving it so that i could at least understand it
I can't wait for that Pirate101 it was already to late for you! You've already dug that grave when you decided to say you were gonna do it in part one at some point. I hope you enjoy it and have lots of fun!
The best part of watching these Wizard101 videos is that i redownloaded the game for the first time in 10 years around the same time you partook in your journey, it feels like perfect timing. Thank you for taking the time to showcase this game! I’m sure a lot of people share the same sentiments about this game being such a core piece of their childhood, and it is heartwarming to see it receive love from new players to this day :)
It doesn't really matter if he's gonna be carried through anyway. I think it's smart to not waste further time farming so that he can focus on getting through the story by relying on those willing to help.
Yeah I had the same thought when he talked about getting killed constantly in Azteca. KI armor balancing stinks so bad that you wear the same armor from lvl 60-90
21:07 it’s so wild that they based an entire world purely on feudal japan but made one world (not counting egypt in krokatopia) for all of africa and india
Even though he was the oldest villain, I think Malistaire is the best villain. His motivations are relatable to anyone who has lost a loved one. You’d understandably would want to do anything to bring them back from death. Morganthe, Grandfather Spider, and the Paradox are all prophetical threats. They’re scary because of how much of a threat has been foretold by prophecy… but Malistaire used to be just a normal person, who went mad after losing his wife. Addition: did you know that the story writers and voice actor originally wanted to keep Malistaire dead… but higher ups told them “no, bring him back to life and have the Wizard fight him again.” Despite some protest the writers submitted and hastily wrote Malistaire back into the plot for Azteca. Unsurprisingly fans and players were more confused than excited to see malistaire again, so the higher ups gave the writers permission to kill him off (again). It’s never a good idea to bring back a character who is meant to die at the end of their arc. Malistaire should have stayed dead, even if he is my favorite villain. His redemption arc was his death and meeting Sylvia in the afterlife. He didn’t need another arc.
I think the reason Malistaire tries so hard to kill you in Azteca even though you settled things is because he doesn’t have his soul and he is just a reanimated body and is very volatile and easy to manipulate. Morganthe might have promised to send him back to Sylvia if he kills you
Truly I do not understand why youtube doesn't just put these first. If there's a new Choopo, I will watch it. It's very simple. Also I don't think I've ever said this but I love your art style. It's so full of character and life.
58:53 EVERYONE in the Wizard101 community begroaned Khrysalis whenever they decided to make a new wizard with a new school because it always took so damn long to get through, especially since it was how you got to level 100 which was the level cap for a while. We all hated doing it more than one or even just once at all lol.
I'm so glad you followed up on the last video. Helpful lore tip: If you want more story coverage about tinier details, the book quests you get in each world are worth it.
cant wait for choppo to get to arc 3 and 4, the lore there has some serious implications for the player character. namely the ability to bend reality and potentially being immortal
Getting to finally understand the story of this game years later has me itching to play it, if only I had someone to play it with. This video was another gem choopo.
I'm happy to see this and the love for this game. Unfortunately both the voice actors of grandmother raven and ambrose have passed and they gave this iconic performances in this iconic game. It makes me happy seeing other people enjoy it.
I just found this channel, been so enticed to watch all of your content, and of course the second video I watch you use Library of Ruina music. Can't wait to binge watch everything you have lol
20:00 as someone who did the quest during the time period I also thought it was weird there was no reference to the show but I guess they just wanted promo for their new album
I love that you talked about the selena gomez cameo because I did it when it was live back in 2010, and for completing the quest you got to have a selna gomez statue, which I now proudly display in my wizard101 house for friends to see whenever they come over. I've had that thing for 14 years!!! they're not taking it away from me!!!!!
I’ve started watching ur channel recently and it’s honestly impressive how far down so many rabbit holes you can go with so many random niche topics lol
53:00 fun fact! In Khrysalis, the badges that you get for beating however many enemies say "killed" instead of "defeated" like it does in every other world!
Yes something to watch while I eat my two chipotle burrito bowels with extra rice,chicken, and beans .. my three Doritos locos tacos.. 5 mc doubles. A full porterhouse steak. 3 chicken sandwiches from Popeyes.. 7 large French fries, 3 baked potatoes .. a pound of green beans. And a small water
As someone who has played W101 since essentially launch, these recap videos have been a nice trip down memory lane! You actually managed to explain things pretty well, and the first video definitely helped me explain things to a friend who just got into Wiz with me. Very curious to hear your opinions on the Divorce Arc. Keep up the great and funny work!
I’m now motivated to play wiz again after watching these vids haha. I loved n still love this game honestly. It’s just sad the game doesn’t modernize itself well enough. People also moved on from it and forgot about it, thinking the game was out of service by this point
I super appreciate your dedication to the bit. Been playing this game for 10+ years and this is the first genuinely great video essay series I've seen. Thanks for putting all this time into the game and glad you seemed to enjoy it❤
Just found this channel, and it's really good stuff. I'd recommend a look over the bizarre lore of the Cat Quest games because it's just as zanny and wacky at times.
Hey bro, please make a video about the lore of Hill Climb Racing one day, there is plenty of lore hidden by the devs in both games, especially Hill Climb Racing, that would be fun to see PS : I love your videos, keep it up ❤️
I was watching this while animating last night and I was very tired since it was late and ended up falling asleep. Because of this, there are now 3 hour long videos in my watch history. I genuinely hope you and all the people that made those videos benefit from this 😭
HOLY CRAP! That Mystical Ninja music fried my brain for a bit. Do you have any idea how long it's been since I have heard that music? Its been almost 30 years!
you just made me realize that this entire time i've been playing the Second Arc worlds and struggling when i havent even finished the First Arc yet.... no wonder why i havent made any progress in months
Did i watch all of this even though I've played the game like 5x. Absolutely. Am I going to play the game for a 6x and renew my membership again. *sigh*. Absolutely.

I think this specific tower was called “The SGS Warehouse” in Regent’s Square. There was a final quest to get the spiral key for celestia……..except it was also just so disgustingly hard with first instances of extreme cheating bosses
The sigil is still outside the tower but only wizards that did the quest before it was removed can go back in (which is insane)
I remember this OH THE PTSD
@@alyssafabian5184 I got the quest but never finished it, I wonder if I can still get inside...

So Epic Fun Fact:
Around a few years ago, the devs ran a Spell Card audit, basically going back to balance old spells and making them stronger or weaker to make a more conductive gameplay experience whilst going through the story.
Notably for Balance, they increased Power Nova's (the Level 48 spell) damage to around 645-700ish iirc while removing its attack debuff, and DEBUFFED Ra to slightly above Power Nova's original strength and giving it the original -50% damage debuff Power Nova had. Meaning Belloq used to be HARDER if he isn't still annoying with that added debuff to Ra.
I remember Belloq being an absolute pain in the ass, that rat bastard always has some BS that makes him a hard stop for progressing solo.
Yeah except his Ra is a unique one that does about 2k base damage, no weakness. This was the same before the rework.
Belloq will always be the worst fights of Arc 2 and 3
actually belloq was not impacted by the spell audit, his cheat is a unique ra and thus was not touched by base ra changes
@@MVPUnlucky oh god he returns in 3rd arc?
As someone who played the Selena Gomez side quest, there WAS a nod to Wizards of Waverly Place. The whole reason she was kidnapped was to become the Wizard Queen for the crabs, because they had seen her play Alex Russo. (I don't remember if they called her Alex. It would be funny if they did). She tries to explain the mixup, saying she's an actress and has her album to release, but they don't heed her.
At the end, she thanks you and tells you to keep an eye out for her album.
I’m gonna have to keep an eye out for selener (‘s album)
im convinced he genuinely likes this game now
Another excellent follow-up in this series!!
Oh snap! It's the official devs!

So can you add more sidewalks and fix the membership system
(And also make the upcoming mobile version able to be linked with pc accounts)
We should also be able to join Morganthe or any other villains (or become a shadow villain) and have more choice, though this would take a while to code ofc
You guys are criminal for making krysallis as long as it is and not releasing a world potion for it. That shit is completely and 100% unbearable and unacceptable. People will spend more time in that world then ALL of arc 3

It's funny you skipped it cause waterworks was practically mandatory back in the day. At the time of release the gear was slightly best stats

Wizard 101 in a nutshell:
"Merle, we rely on your knight and that legendary wand he carries. Our last line of defense will be Finnigan Jackalboots."
"Finnigan, you are our final hope."
Mad respect that you did the entire 2nd arc considering how long and time consuming/difficult the later worlds like Azteca and Khrysalis really are.
I’ve played through this game 4 times and 3 of those times were 99% solo. It’s actually stupid how much easier the game gets just as a duo.

Halfway through wondering when this guy is gonna realize farming for gear, specifically waterworks at first is really important.

Yeah I had the same thought when he talked about getting killed constantly in Azteca. KI armor balancing stinks so bad that you wear the same armor from lvl 60-90

Also I don't think I've ever said this but I love your art style. It's so full of character and life.
58:53 EVERYONE in the Wizard101 community begroaned Khrysalis whenever they decided to make a new wizard with a new school because it always took so damn long to get through, especially since it was how you got to level 100 which was the level cap for a while. We all hated doing it more than one or even just once at all lol.
I saw The Goth Wizard in the thumbnail and I already know I’m one of her goons. Which one? That for you to find out
I’m sorry for being horny on main, Choopo. I’m a failure of a wizard
Judging by the area you can be found in, you’re either a low-level boss or of the completely disposable sort
That or the game is glitchin-
@@anti-usernamesaltaccount3623 sure, that type of goon ..
I hope you dont mean goon by the urban definition
@@Vinn_Treeyou rotting
I'm so glad you followed up on the last video.
Helpful lore tip: If you want more story coverage about tinier details, the book quests you get in each world are worth it.
this video is so good, love the storytelling and music selection, played this game a ton growing up
it’s crazy how i’ve played this game for 10 years and never interacted with the story until now
So true, I skip all the dialogue
Its my sleep over and I get to choose the movie
We need the Pirate 101 video 51:48
I NEEEEEEED it
Moooooreeeeeede
cant wait for choppo to get to arc 3 and 4, the lore there has some serious implications for the player character. namely the ability to bend reality and potentially being immortal
41:37 Saving a "pegasus"? Sir, that's a unicorn. The character is literally called Cassie the Ponycorn.
Sir have you ever heard of "a joke"
@@AeonKnigh432 You mean a jock? I don't see what sports have to do with this but ok.
Getting to finally understand the story of this game years later has me itching to play it, if only I had someone to play it with. This video was another gem choopo.
I'm happy to see this and the love for this game. Unfortunately both the voice actors of grandmother raven and ambrose have passed and they gave this iconic performances in this iconic game. It makes me happy seeing other people enjoy it.
1:32 i was NOT expecting to find my book in this place.
I just found this channel, been so enticed to watch all of your content, and of course the second video I watch you use Library of Ruina music. Can't wait to binge watch everything you have lol
Finally, the story of Wizard101’s Goth Mommy will be spread to the masses.
MORGANTH IS A BADDIE RAHHHHH
20:00 as someone who did the quest during the time period I also thought it was weird there was no reference to the show but I guess they just wanted promo for their new album
That fact you skipped the waterworks is funny, the gear you get there is so good it can realistically take you all the way to like 90-100
I suggest a video idea "THE BIZZARE LORE OF COOKIERUN"
I LITERALLY JUST WATCHED THE FIRST ONE AND THIS ONE CAME OUT AS SOON AS I FINISHED IT???
I love that you talked about the selena gomez cameo because I did it when it was live back in 2010, and for completing the quest you got to have a selna gomez statue, which I now proudly display in my wizard101 house for friends to see whenever they come over. I've had that thing for 14 years!!! they're not taking it away from me!!!!!
I’ve started watching ur channel recently and it’s honestly impressive how far down so many rabbit holes you can go with so many random niche topics lol
This was so worth the wait. I love the intro. You can really tell how much time Choopon spent on this one.
The amount of work that went into this series is crazy but also so appreciated
This has been a nice trip down memory lane. Thanks for making this series
53:00 fun fact! In Khrysalis, the badges that you get for beating however many enemies say "killed" instead of "defeated" like it does in every other world!
the "Aztecs" did not predict the world ending in 2012, that was the end/reset of the Maya Long Count calendar.
Yes something to watch while I eat my two chipotle burrito bowels with extra rice,chicken, and beans .. my three Doritos locos tacos.. 5 mc doubles. A full porterhouse steak. 3 chicken sandwiches from Popeyes.. 7 large French fries, 3 baked potatoes .. a pound of green beans. And a small water
As someone who has played W101 since essentially launch, these recap videos have been a nice trip down memory lane! You actually managed to explain things pretty well, and the first video definitely helped me explain things to a friend who just got into Wiz with me. Very curious to hear your opinions on the Divorce Arc. Keep up the great and funny work!
I’m now motivated to play wiz again after watching these vids haha. I loved n still love this game honestly. It’s just sad the game doesn’t modernize itself well enough. People also moved on from it and forgot about it, thinking the game was out of service by this point
Gosh i enjoyed this. Imma watch a recap of each world as i go through them again
43:56 I wheezzed when The Mighty Nein appeared. Also Ambross being Mr. Clay is extremely funny and fitting.
Absolute power move skipping Waterworks, it drops the best gear for 40 levels.
1:35 HOLY SHIT RUINA JUMPSCARE
Bait used to be beli- holy shit is that the red mist?
Yo it's Roland from Library of Ruina on the Nintendo Switch
Sleeper protocol activated
Glory to project moon!
Choopo is a Project Moon dabbler?!
GLORY TO PROJECT MOON
I super appreciate your dedication to the bit. Been playing this game for 10+ years and this is the first genuinely great video essay series I've seen. Thanks for putting all this time into the game and glad you seemed to enjoy it❤
53:06 Choopo, you have played Wizard 101 as a grown adult. Of course your body count is higher that your body count
Unless the former is in the negatives somehow. Wouldn’t put it past Choopo to accidentally bring people back to life 🤷
@@anti-usernamesaltaccount3623 That honestly sounds like it could be canon choopo lore
I feel called out at 36:44
So happy this series is back, the thing I look forward to the most on RUclips rn. Keep crushing it!
You are so funny and genuinely entertaining. I actually watched this whole video with no distractions lol. Looking forward to the next one (?)
Subscribed to this channel solely so that I don’t miss out on obscure lore about a kids MMO rpg.
Just found this channel, and it's really good stuff. I'd recommend a look over the bizarre lore of the Cat Quest games because it's just as zanny and wacky at times.
Skipping waterworks was your first issue
yeah ngl it seems like he isnt doing any kind of grinding for gear and such
I've been waiting for the second part! So excuted to watch it! Thanks for the amazing Video!!!
This is the most I've heard Zafaria complimented
1:32 LIBRARY OF RUINA MENTIONED‼‼
Another Game where you play pages???????????
@@fredsauce219 No way.
Hey bro, please make a video about the lore of Hill Climb Racing one day, there is plenty of lore hidden by the devs in both games, especially Hill Climb Racing, that would be fun to see
PS : I love your videos, keep it up ❤️
I still love Wizard101, but the only thing Arc 2 has going for it is nostalgia.
I was watching this while animating last night and I was very tired since it was late and ended up falling asleep. Because of this, there are now 3 hour long videos in my watch history. I genuinely hope you and all the people that made those videos benefit from this 😭
The Old Cob will always be a gem.
no one should be dropping banger after banger, Wizard lore, Crash Lore. It's illegal that Choopo is under 1 mil!
im literally shaking and criyjn g i love u choopacabra i cant wait for next parts thank for ur devotion
When I was a kid, I never completed arc 1, so thank you for finally catching me up on the lore
To be concluded? Buddy, there's also a 4th Arc to cover! Also, great vid🔥
1:36 AAAAA LIBRARY OF RUINA OST JUMP SCARE- AAAAAAH AAAAAAH AAAAAAH *apocalypse bird screaming*
HOLY CRAP! That Mystical Ninja music fried my brain for a bit. Do you have any idea how long it's been since I have heard that music? Its been almost 30 years!
I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY!! I LOVED Mystical Ninja on the 64 😭
This new era of youtubers goes crazzzyyy
you just made me realize that this entire time i've been playing the Second Arc worlds and struggling when i havent even finished the First Arc yet.... no wonder why i havent made any progress in months
Did i watch all of this even though I've played the game like 5x. Absolutely. Am I going to play the game for a 6x and renew my membership again. *sigh*. Absolutely.
