i'm impressed mark started off with making one bad decision after another and now he has undying squirrels to really cheese the blood sacrificing to play his powerful monsters
I had upgraded mantis gods with 3x3 attack power (they attack 3 times).... This game begs to be cheesed and it's because it wants you to find your way out
You gotta love how Mark has been smashing through all the challenges with his Squirrel, Goat, Urayuli combo. Its like this one player in fighting games who keeps beating everyone with that one cheap but effective combo.
Some advice (no spoilers tho): the ringworm's description is a big hint that this game has tons of hidden mechanics. I will say, the ringworm's ability has something to do with the hungry survivors around the campfire. But that's one of many hidden mechanics. There's more to do away from the table, too. Good luck Markiplier.
You'd have to be Cuckoo to think Mark solved all the puzzles already. Eye can see that there's one major puzzle that Mark failed to see the hint for on the first time fighting Leshy. But hey I guess that's just how Mark rolls.... lol
So glad Mark is continuing this series. This game is definitely an unexpected sleeper hit. 47:06 Exactly the kind of reaction I expected from Mark. Buckle up everyone. This game is far from over.
Being a sleeper hit… it’s a very… good game. Heck my brother was the one that made me watch Markiplier’s Let’s play of this game… very weird yet cool tho
@@SaberAlex that can only occur after winning more than 6 times against leshy (after defeating Leshy 6 times, Leshy allows for you to try the fire 4 times each encounter, after killing the survivors, you can use the fire without any risk of losing the card you chose) note: the survivors won't be dead permanently, and they will be there again in the next run
And then he proceeds to never draw from the squirrel deck even though 4 squirrels basically let him instantly stalemate any fight without flying creatures.
@@demfrodegroot7596 Tbh it's sorta useless to draw more than 2 - 3 squirrels with the return to hand totem. If you have an okay or perhaps good hand at the start of your fight, it's a guaranteed win unless you somehow screw up extremely bad or you're in a boss fight and screw up or don't have a relatively good hand. This comment comes from personal experience. I overlooked one thing in the Prospector boss fight. and forgot to place down 1 squirrel to defend and that cost me the game.
Squirrel totems are amazing! Had the ant queen symbol on the squirrels and oh boy... All aboard! Steamrolling your way to victory with nothing but squirrels and ants
@@FISTOproductions I had a triple blood totem for the squirrels with a moose buck that had 7 attack and triple strike. It was really overpowered build. Just had to last long enough to draw my moose buck, which isn't hard when squirrels give three blood.
@@AureliusPurnell-Webb-o4rI did that as well without realizing it. I was just fighting him off for the first time, trying my bone based deck with the squirrel-bone totem, and then wondered what happened to the 40hp Moon the next turn.
@@AureliusPurnell-Webb-o4ri didnt know you could oneshot the moon using the adder. So i kept off the adder in my deck and finished the fight in a climatic way
@@Kayoscape nah , Bug + the ant ability is busted. Every time you spawn an ant, you get an ant in your hand. Gets infinite bones, and you can get this infinite from any bug card. Combine this with a full board of ants and that’s how I beat the final boss without any of the Boons.
The ringworm is actually to kill the campers who offer to power up your card if you put it by the fire. If you power it up until they eat it, they die and you can infinitely power your card at a camp fire Edit: thanks to the people who mentioned the touch of death kills off the campers too; I'm currently working through the 8th or 9th level of Kaycee's mod and killing the campers is one of the best starts to get beefy cards
I can’t believe no one is talking about marks impressive ability throughout this series to give every character a unique yet perfect voice as he reads the text with no context or preparation.
That’s a given, everyone’s so used to it being a standard gaming commentator skill that i’d be weird for a normal let’s player to not have it, let alone one of the pioneers
I started properly exploring RUclips about 4 years ago, and the amazing voices that mark gives to characters is the main reason I love to watch him play these types of games. It’s an impressive skill he has and he could easily make a career of VA if he chose to. Plus Lixian really elevates marks videos to another level. Both of them together is the ultimate play ☺️
It's a no-brainer. He's made a bunch of _A ___ with Markiplier_ RUclips series, which means doing multiple takes all the time. Adding the-series-that-must-not-be-named to the mix, he's unstoppable at improv.
Hey Mark- in the event that you do read this, the goal of the Ring Worm involves the campfire event. Later on, you'll be able to "push your luck" and keep enhancing creatures at the risk that they get eaten by the survivors around the fire. Normally, this is bad; in the case of the ringworm, you want them to eat it. If they do, the survivors will be dead for all future encounters that run and you can enhance your creatures many times at each fire.
@@enthusiastofcute Well he just didn't have the film he needed, which I don't think you unlock until you get the wolf either. So the game didn't glitch, it just had an option built in for if players didn't have the required items to finally beat the nature dude.
Campfire the Ringworm. At one point the settlers will stab and eat your creature. So using the Ringworm or Adder will kill the settlers if they take the card. Every Campfire after that will mean 5 risk-free upgrades to your card.
is that not what he did at 20:55? i don't know anything about the game besides what he's played so i might be wrong but they didn't do anything. are you saying to keep using it at the campfire until they do eat it?
@@lazxrev He did (I commented before finishing😅) After another run or two, it will start allowing you to risk keeping your card by the fire multiple times.
Everyone's talking about how broken the Undying Right Squirrels are, but can we appreciate that Mark putting the stink on the Stout ended up being very useful in that last battle? Moon couldn't do shit.
Gotta say, I'm really impressed with Markiplier's skills in this episode. He's really been thinking through his moves, and he did really well throughout this life. That stinky moon strategy was awesome!
I can't believe he actually listened to what Leshy said about the Ouroboros. I have not seen anyone pay attention to the fact that it gets stronger. Well done, Mark!
I think a lot of people (at least the ones I've seen stream the game) saw that but thought the power up was temporary or only for that portion of the game. I never got the Ouroboros during act 1 but when I got to act 2 I did grab it.
@@allanbaker3958 yeah I got mine to 200/200 by the end of the game, though I saw someone else got theirs to 1000 and could have gotten it higher if they felt like continuing the exploit they found
@Kavetion Your 8 videos, all of which have no meaning except being vulgar, derogatory and complete wastes of time? I sure hope you simply forgot to put "/s" in your reply there. Hell, even if it were sarcasm, it is terrible. lmao, 92 subs...Mark is now at what....nearly 30.5 million? I really hope you're just trolling. If you aren't..then just wow.
Mark: On the first try, immediately gets one of the most overpowered totem combinations possible. Also Mark: "I don't have any rings" (Forgot Ouroboros)
Although the ouroboros may count as a ring Although I’m not sure The ring is located in the clock puzzle along with the film for the camera and the last talking animal
Fun fact: the "Leshy" the green pulp of pain and misery is talking about refers to the GM, but Leshy are also Treant-like creatures from east-European folklore (you probably know them if you've played the Witcher) that are famed for their gambling addiction. It was said that Leshy would congregate and bet parts of their forests on their games. This explained the phenomenon of forests "moving" (aka having more or less trees over the years). So that's a really nice detail
"I don't have any rings": draws the ouroboros (btw for those who don't know for the ring trial you need to be wearing a ring or draw a ringworm or ouroboros so he could've passed it but didnt)
@@Cubed_Sphere From my playthroughs that is definitely the best combo to get, but the other two sigils that are quite strong are Squirrels being worth 3 blood and Squirrels giving you a free ant once played. Any one of those will help immensely.
@@Creamy_Bagel The field mice card sigil is super powerful as well, its somewhat similar to the undying card but you don't ever draw another squirrel with it. It copies the card you play with the sigil into your hand.
@SC (BEST RUclipsR EVER) ur stuff will never have the sentimental value of any second of marks videos. I could go on forever but I will only say 1 more thing.
@SC (BEST RUclipsR EVER) you don't even have 5 videos posted. You are anything but intertaining. Never compare your garbage to marks content. He has come a long way and he has earned all his good fortune and loyal subscribers such as me.
I beat the game yesterday, and i have to say, It was my favorite game in the past while, my favorite part was definitely act 1 though in the cabin, just because of the moody and dark vibe in it compared to the rest of the games areas.
This is honestly one of if not the best series from Mark I've seen. Every time I see one of these videos it brightens my day, whether it be his hilarious commentary, amazing (but somehow also quite dumb?) gameplay, or random squeals of terror. Keep up the good work Markiplier :)
same i'm so happy he's still the same mark he's always been. loves games and always remembers where he came from. truly the most wholesome big name youtuber on the platform. Pewdie pie, jack bob, wade etc are all up there for sure but mark is at the #1 spot
I must say, Markiplier really honed his skills and how he thinks as time went on. He went from playing moves on a whim, to really strategizing how he would enact his turns. Thanks to him, I'm pretty hooked on this. Imma buy it soon tbh. Probably one of my new favorites in terms of playthroughs on this channel
A very tiny spoiler, the game goes DEEP down the rabbit hole just like Pony island. Mark has not even seen 1/4th of the madness this game has to offer... ( and then there is also a pretty decent modding community ) It's a great game and i highly recommend you acquire it, preferably legally...
Mark. You don’t understand. There is literally HOURS MORE CONTENT out of this game. And not just repeating stuff. I can’t spoil it. It’s ASTOUNDING how much more there is, PLEASE continue this series!
@@hithere5553 true, I wish you could go thru all 4 of the characters the same way u do with Leshy. But don’t spoil anything in these comments in case mark sees it
My disappointment that he missed everything else is immeasurable. Honestly this game is the best game I have ever played and constantly through me for a loop with every new addition during future acts. Just the programming alone that went behind it blew me away.
@@vonagon_ he said he was going to go back though! At the end he knew there’s something else in the cabin. Hopefully in his next run he will choose the right eyeball…
Honestly, pretty outstandingly verbose moment there. Symbologically Impressible -- Symbologically is similar to symbolically, but more specific to study and knowledge. Impressible means that something can be impressed onto it. So essentially this phrase would mean that him entering the cabin would be capable of having a study/scientific analysis of its symbolism pressed into it. Pretty wildly accurate and neat as a phrase.
My soul hurts, though, because he still hasn't figured out that he's been swapping the y and r sounds in the word. >> (he's been saying uyaruli, not urayuli.)
It was kind of glossed over, and maybe it's just me, but the trapper taking his mask off and spinning it around to reveal that he was also the trader the whole time was awesome. I somehow just never realized it until right then. 😅
"...welcome back..." Hell the absolute fuck YES! This needs to be a full playthrough. I don't even like deck builders and this has caught my eye like no other.
I love watching mark play unique games like this. Don’t get me wrong, conventional indy horror and stupid party games are great but its the unique one-off games that truly shine on his channel
Yeah, I've been loving this so far. Even convinced me to buy the actual game and it SLAPS! I usually don't like the horror stuff, but this is an exception.
@@annoyanceking I've attempted making an infinite Urayuli by putting Corpse Maggots on one, and Many Lives on another, then fusing them together. Never got my deck to line up just right to be able to do this though.
I was so mad when he ditched the Mantis God (although he already "broke" the game at that point with the totem), literally the best basic card in the game. Luke even comments it at one part, "Always take Mantis God".
Some next tips to help along without spoiling anything - when getting boons make sure to look around the board for something hidden, use the dagger anytime before facing the final boss and make sure to look around, if you want the game to be a bit easier get the mantis god or a regular mantis and combine them (by sacrificing) with a heavy hitting card to do double the damage
THE GUY IS LESHY? Okay so if you don’t know Leshy is sort of god creature that lives in forests in European folklore, he leads travelers astray and kidnaps children sometimes so… kinda fits with what they’re doing in this game.
Didn't know about the kidnapping children part; I was under the impression Leshy was just a creature that was effectively a hermit. Still, my reaction to him being Leshy... Yikes.
@@nuckchorris499 , yeah, I already knew that. Which is why I was surprised (not freaking out, though, as I was exhausted from work) to see a relatively accurate portrayal of Leshy (physically).
RINGWORM CARD TIP (as supplied by a guy on Reddit): There’s one where you sacrifice it to the survivors in the fire event, but I think you’ll only notice what it does if there is a second fire event. Just keep enhancing it until the survivors eat it. Then when you go to the fire event a second time (in a single run), something will be different.
I got Worthy Sacrifice Squirrel recently, beat Leshy for the first time with it. Second best was Worker Ant squirrel, gives you a new ant every time you play squirrel so you can just place them instantly.
@@DragonaxFilms Blood Squirrels are OP as heck. I finished this game about a week ago, and I told my friend to play it. They got Worthy Sacrifice Squirrels and a second Uruyuli right before the Mycologist, so they had a 14/14 Uruyuli, and then they also got the Forked Hit or whatever thing (attacks in a V), so they were able to second-turn for 28 damage lmao
@@kurayamiblackheart I've tried both and tbh I consider them almost at the same level with undying being better. Undying squirrel lets more unit out on the field so it's good if you're on forced defense, also is good for planning overkills as the squirrel recycle back to your hand. As for 3 bloods it's good to put a powerful unit early, but it's gone as soon as it's used.
@@spotted-gausford I beat leshy both with undying squirrel and three blood. Its honestly all a matter of preference. If you like 3-4 cost more 3 squirrel is better, while 1-2 is better with undying
"That's symbologically impressable." Such profundity in these words, not even gods themselves can comprehend the full depth and complexity of their true meanings.
I haven't enjoyed a series by Mark this much in a hot minuet. this game is so cool, i'd honesty love to have a physical card game made of it. ofc there would have to be some alterations, but the base card game is so cool. i cant wait for part 4
The fans over at reddit or working on it. But you should probably wait a bit, cause you know, spoilers and such. Would be cool if the dev released a Card Set like McMillen did with Binding of Isaac Four Souls. EDIT: So I printend my own batch, it's really fun and I will try to teach it to some friends.
@@ethanalspencer7294 I wouldn't say it loses all of it's charm. It only gets different, like this developers usually do. They twist the game a lot of times, and maybe you don't like it anymore, but for me it only gets better.
@@TheBerylfly I think Manly mentioned that he cut a lot of things out, namely the repetition with Leshy, so his playthrough may have been actually been a similar length! Comparing his, Jesse Cox, and Mark's runs have been fun, though...
@@AsaanVesh Manly definitely said that, but that's part of the fun of the comparison for me, he looked at 5 hours of LP content and said "yeet." That, and Manly death card was way OP
The Glitchy cards text translates to 'Deep Beneath' in case anyone wondering Non-fighting cards can go to the Mycologists... you might like what happens after if you apply it right Yes Markiplier, you CAN run out of cards, but you won't like what comes up when you do
i’m in act 3 right now, i’ve never run out of cards, what would happen? (totally okay with spoilers up until the beginning of the great transcendence :D)
@@ahnarchist 'Starvation' sets in. It's a card that is played against you as a penalty for being out of cards. Attack will increase each time a new one is played, Effect: Opposing cards cannot attack. It's slow death, just like Starvation
Actually, y'know that glitchy card? Normally it's described with binary, but at 14:49 Mark found it during that rarer event, and it was actually given a NAME. "Inhabited". I never knew until now..
@@cadenswanson3412 actually if you keep 1 pelt and hope you get it during blood u can get it for free and if you have mantis god ability with wolf damage and health it could work (deathcard)
just in case anyone was curious, after you die 3 times as in make a deathcard 3 times, anytime u come across a fire on a map, u have the choice of using it multiple times. if u put a ringworm or anyother poison creature through it and kill it, the next time u use the fire the people are gone and u get to use the fire to add either 5 attack or 10 health to a creature everytime.
There’s something funny to me about Lixian and Nerd editing Luke’s card opening vid for him. Even in a meta game as a fictional RUclipsr, editor’s work never stops.
14:49 i don't think you realise what you just found out about that card. Normally the shadowy game master would describe it with binary. But, you just found it in a rare event, and it was actually given a NAME. "Inhabited".
The moment I saw Mark get the undying sigil for his squirrials it made me so happy. That is one of the most op things in the game. The possibilities become almost endless.
@@lilz_relixx5913 Still requires three spaces on the board instead of one. Though I do not deny the value Undying Squirrels, it is simply a matter of preference. You do you, and I do me, and we won't do each other. Probably.. That's a good poem right there.
Can’t comprehend how Mark went from having some noticeable trouble with this game to having something so OP, I haven’t seen any other RUclipsr take advantage of it.
The only thing better than infinisquirrel is 3 blood squirrels. You can pretty much ignore the cost of any card in the game, and unlike infinisquirrels which are limited by space you can place down 3 cost cards even if you only have a single square open on the board. Another good one is ant queen squirrels, you can fill a board up with an army of ants just by drawing squirrels and wreck everything in your path.
Proud to see that he used the stink strat so that the moon did no damage at all. I wanna see him keep playing this cause there is so much content on this game even when you think you've ended the game. Mark, a tip! Use the dagger again and pick the glowing eye. You will be able to see stuff in the cabin that you couldn't see before ;)
@@murilosabino8364 if your screen looks different when you put on the new eye wouldn’t it be self explanatory to look around especially when the game itself encourages you to get up from the table from time to time? Maybe that last part was a bit much but I’ll edit it out
@@marz4807 Yes it would be self explanatory, and that's the point, telling which items to choose and what it does in a puzzle game is just bad. Reminding him to use his knife is bad enough already, but maybe it is a necessary evil, if he's lucky enough to never need to use it, anything past that is just spoiling too much and sucling the wonder of solving a puzzle.
Why didn't he have a chance to get a glowing eye the first time? I got it on my first use of the dagger. And for the people complaining about backseat gaming that is the only way to progress the game and it's not really an obvious solution so it's helpful to know to avoid an episode of making no progress.
I'd be perfectly fine watching more of this series. It's so intriguing, and Mark is fun to watch generally. He even seems pretty invested in it. I cannot wait to see more.
@@SirSpartAfterDark More than 3 million on the first one, almost 2 million on the second, and this one's reaching almost a million in a day, dude he's not dropping it because of "views" or something lol, he literally says see you on the next one at the end
@@nox7919 I'm wondering if Mark will continue on Act 2 and even 3. Act 2 and 3 for me is a huge downgrade and a disappointment. I want to hear what Mark had to say. It was a huge surprise for me because I thought Act 1 after the moon fight will have tougher bosses and a new map. But was two new games that I didn't ask for. This game ended for me when I beat Act 1. 6 hours for $20 is a scam.
"I made a hasty retreat with my *Markimoo* " "My *Wolf In me-* My *Wolfimoo* combo is unstoppable." "All hail the Wolfimoo." "You're a squirrel?? *OOOHOHOHOOOHOHOHOOOOWEEEEEE* "
wow, didn't know there was an 'alternate ending' to this. After he got wrecked by 8 grizzly bears the last time he got too far ahead of the game, I thought it would do it again. Not reward him for beating Leshy without getting the Stunted Wolf. Pleasantly surprised
I finished the game, but right now I'm just playing the Leshy part of the game without continuing the story and every time I beat him he says something different. In my latest game he even mentioned that his name is Leshy and that he's the scrybe of the beasts. I'm gonna just keep beating him until he has nothing more left to say.
@@cynister7384 Yeah, same. To be honest, I really really don't like the Lucky Carder found footage stuff. Takes me out of it. And its kinda cringey to be honest. I just imagine the 3D Parts with the Scribes are the actual game
Another nice touch is that if you use the knife during the final fight, Leshy never gives you a replacement eye and so your "victory card" will be missing one too
“I'm sure that's symbologically impressible" Oh man, I almost died laughing! The face he makes, like, “What did I just say?" I literally almost passed out laughing, you're so good, Mark ‼️❣️
I just have to say this........ The feeling of seeing the excitement and joy in my 4 year old daughters eyes, to hear Marks voice, is just something special. I can't describe it, my best friend loves to watch my favorite youtuber with me! As soon as she heard your voice Mark, I swear, her happiness is compared to when you first became the King Of Fnaf! Her name is Emerald, she was diagnosed with autism but that absolutely doesn't stop her from knowing who you are! Keep making the world smile the way you make my daughter smile!
Hey man I watched your videos on your channel and I gotta say you’re extremely under rated, I mean you ate grass for god’s sake! You definite got the spirit my man and I can tell you and your daughter have a great relationship. Keep up the hard work and I’m sure you’ll get noticed! 😁
The sheer amount of joy and compassion people with autism can experience warms my heart, a couple of my good friends are on the spectrum and they're some of the most compassionate and friendly people I know. God bless your daughter, she's going to grow into a wonderful person
I love how Mark gives the shadow guy a low, whispering voice, but for all the characters that the shadow guy plays he gives them a crazy kook voice. It's perfect.
Mark's face when he went through the 'player's' videos was priceless to me because I knew the end wasnt the end because I have played games from these creators before, I suspected there was more to the game than what it seemed. It truly is one of a kind so far.
The fact that at 45:00 Mark didn't just spam sacrifice the squirrel and the oroboros again and again and again and again until the oroboros was just op to the point of being able to kill the moon in one hit is absolutely wild to me. The build mark had for this right at the end was just absolutely GOD tier omg.
i like how we have seen Mark's strategy evolve from something that has high cost monsters and not enough to tribute to summon them to something that spams high cost monsters out with infinite squirrels and tribute fodder. It's cool to see how strategies in this game become more interesting as you get further on. (I play Yugioh, so I use Yugioh terms for card games.)
without spoilers but some spoilers. this isn't even 10% of the strategy depth this game has to offer, get ready to see a LOT more combinations and cards x)
This is single handedly one of marks best series I’ve been watching mark for a long time and I haven’t enjoyed a series this much in forever I literally Can’t wait for part 4
dude same this series makes me so happy, I haven't enjoyed a series this much in a hot minuet. I still love marks content but this is just extra entertaining
Mark... Just to give you some friendly advice... Feed the starving people at the campfire the Ring Worm. There will come a time when you can upgrade more than once at the fire but at the chance the starving people will kill and eat your beast. Let them eat the Ring Worm... And you'll never have to worry about them for the rest of that cycle.
for now, unless he does get stuck and has defeated Leshy 6 or more times, it's kinda unnessasary information, never have I seen any youtuber get stuck on act one for more than 3 wins moreover never once has the survivors, eaten my selected creature first try at the fire, only the 2nd time and 3rd. also, anything with the poison or corpse eater mark will also kill the survivors
oh so thats the intended purpose, i was wondering if the fire would eventually become dangerous, seeing as i beat the game on my third run im way past that already so i guess ill never experience it, also i never fully searched the cabin, dont know what the poster does if you replicate it and neither did i open the last of the puzzle drawers.
@@qwertzritter5197 When you beat the game you can go back and play the previous acts again though I don't know if you have to start from the beginning all over or if you keep what you discovered before. As for the paintings you get three items, one for each time you complete the puzzle per cycle. The first is a four leaf clover that you use to recycle a roll when the hobo lets you pick one of three cards giving you a second chance at better beasts. The second is a third candle stick giving you a second extra life if you lose and a second smoke card during boss battles. The third is a bee which turns your squirl cards into bee cards with 1 ATK 1 HP. Also next cycle you get the insect totem head giving you an almost unbeatable advantage especially since the insect totem affects more than just your bees...
I didn't know Mark played this game until I was half way through it, and you don't know how excited I was to see Mark find the same totem I used to win - unkillable squirrels. Infinite sacrifices and defences. Three squirrels is almost any sacrifice for the rest of the match.
When he had the choice for the mantis God, pack rat, and hog thing, I was screaming so hard for him to take the mantis as he could've fused it with the wolf markimoo or uraluli to make a strong hitter that attacks in 3 ways. Especially because he barely ever uses his items anyway
I like how this game boils down to you being trapped in a cabin with a guy who really, really, really wants to be a DM
I like how you think that's "the game"
....
*spoiler alert!*
That's just the start...

I love that mark effectively monopolized on his strategy of never drawing squirrels by ensuring he never needed to draw them ever again.
i'm impressed mark started off with making one bad decision after another and now he has undying squirrels to really cheese the blood sacrificing to play his powerful monsters
man some bot stole your comment and has more likes. my condolences
I had upgraded mantis gods with 3x3 attack power (they attack 3 times).... This game begs to be cheesed and it's because it wants you to find your way out
I mean he IS the king of the squirrels so that tracks
He is still making poor plays. Not min-maxing his overkill damage, unnecessary sacrifices, getting rid of all his pelts before trapper fight, etc.
The game is designed in that the more you lose the easier it gets
You gotta love how Mark has been smashing through all the challenges with his Squirrel, Goat, Urayuli combo. Its like this one player in fighting games who keeps beating everyone with that one cheap but effective combo.

Underrated comment
Some advice (no spoilers tho): the ringworm's description is a big hint that this game has tons of hidden mechanics. I will say, the ringworm's ability has something to do with the hungry survivors around the campfire. But that's one of many hidden mechanics. There's more to do away from the table, too. Good luck Markiplier.
It also counts as a ring card.
soooo, the ringworm get's eaten by the survivors and takes them over?
@@jesse3391 yes and no. Something cool CAN happen. That's all I'll say
Wait what!? I thought it just existed for the sole purpose of passing the Adversary’s ring trial
You'd have to be Cuckoo to think Mark solved all the puzzles already. Eye can see that there's one major puzzle that Mark failed to see the hint for on the first time fighting Leshy. But hey I guess that's just how Mark rolls.... lol
The sound design in this game is incredible. The sounds and ambiance are so... satisfying. It's immersive, and chill.
yeah, the characters sound like markiplier dubbing
I’m glad there’s no voices for the dm guy, mark’s voice is wayy better than any voice actors they could’ve used
except for the random bass boosting when dm guy speaks 😭
even markiplier's voice acting works LMAO
Especially at 29:16
Mark: *uses stink so the moon can’t attack*
Leshy: *WAIT THAT’S NOT HOW YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO PLAY THE GAME*
i ended up doing that too lmao
Doesn't matter how it's supposed to go. Thats how it went Leshy! Ha!
Stoat has come to make an announcement.
Outcheating a cheater
Lethal also works quite well
So glad Mark is continuing this series. This game is definitely an unexpected sleeper hit.
47:06 Exactly the kind of reaction I expected from Mark. Buckle up everyone. This game is far from over.
“What?”
@Jxck Wrxth also wtf?
It really does, I could not believe the ending!!!
@Jxck Wrxth excuse me?? Can you please leave, and this is so random lol

Game: "This thing is useless. You will never use it."
Mark: "ILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!!!"
it actually is kinda helpful for completing the game. It gives hints at least.

Draw four squirrels with that totem and the hobo will never be able to kill you without a flyer.

@@demfrodegroot7596 Tbh it's sorta useless to draw more than 2 - 3 squirrels with the return to hand totem.

You know what's just as fun? Corpse eater squirrels.

It may not even be the most overpowered mechanic in the early game. Ant squirrels just wreck old beast man.
And now markimoo, with the urayuli, unstoppable.
@@Kayoscape nah , Bug + the ant ability is busted. Every time you spawn an ant, you get an ant in your hand. Gets infinite bones, and you can get this infinite from any bug card. Combine this with a full board of ants and that’s how I beat the final boss without any of the Boons.
The ringworm is actually to kill the campers who offer to power up your card if you put it by the fire. If you power it up until they eat it, they die and you can infinitely power your card at a camp fire
Edit: thanks to the people who mentioned the touch of death kills off the campers too; I'm currently working through the 8th or 9th level of Kaycee's mod and killing the campers is one of the best starts to get beefy cards
No wonder the DM said "It's value isn't immediately apparent"
It can also be used as a ring in the boons challenge in the end
Nice, I just did this and they ate it anyway, real nice
Update: this works, you just need to wait till next campfire you find, it's not inmediate effect
You can also use it to pass 'The Trial of the Ring'
I can’t believe no one is talking about marks impressive ability throughout this series to give every character a unique yet perfect voice as he reads the text with no context or preparation.
That’s a given, everyone’s so used to it being a standard gaming commentator skill that i’d be weird for a normal let’s player to not have it, let alone one of the pioneers
The guy has years of experience and he used them well.
I started properly exploring RUclips about 4 years ago, and the amazing voices that mark gives to characters is the main reason I love to watch him play these types of games. It’s an impressive skill he has and he could easily make a career of VA if he chose to. Plus Lixian really elevates marks videos to another level. Both of them together is the ultimate play ☺️
It's a no-brainer.
He's made a bunch of _A ___ with Markiplier_ RUclips series, which means doing multiple takes all the time. Adding the-series-that-must-not-be-named to the mix, he's unstoppable at improv.
Well, they _used_ to be unique until he defaulted to the Scottish-esque accent for everyone 😂
"Now I've got a stinky weasel" made me laugh way harder than it should have.
I’m just sad he didn’t take the golden opportunity to immediately call it the “stinky stoat”
Book: *Says bottle of goo is useless*
Mark: "Looks like im taking the bottle of goo!"
Rule one of gaming: if the game says an item is useless, it probably has a use, even if not intended.

@@omzitakmispulin7384 Jack with a jar of dirt vs. Mark with a jar of goo! Who will win?
@@amberharpoonminecraft4322 its literally useless btw :D
Mark didn't realize after his ringworm died it went from a 0/1 to a 1/1 when he sacrificed it another "useless" item with hidden potential
Hey Mark- in the event that you do read this, the goal of the Ring Worm involves the campfire event. Later on, you'll be able to "push your luck" and keep enhancing creatures at the risk that they get eaten by the survivors around the fire. Normally, this is bad; in the case of the ringworm, you want them to eat it. If they do, the survivors will be dead for all future encounters that run and you can enhance your creatures many times at each fire.
It also can make you pass the Trial of The Ring, which isn't bad at all.
Yes, also it can poss for the final Trial of the Ring, and also you can make them eat an Adder and that works too
also the ring worm can be used at a specific trail on the last chapter.. in most cases not relevant, but it might come in handy once in like 100 runs
The Ring Worm also makes you pass the Trial of the Ring in the final boss
@@Yeph4454 as does the Ouroboros that he has!
Yet again, Mark does something I haven't seen anyone else do in this game: beat the boss in Act One but without the stuff needed to progress the game!
Is it really needed to progress the game if Mark could do it? or did the game glitch?
@@enthusiastofcute Does it look like the game glitched?
@@enthusiastofcute Mark needs to find the film roll for the camera. Otherwise he won't be able to escape the Leshy.
@@enthusiastofcute Well he just didn't have the film he needed, which I don't think you unlock until you get the wolf either. So the game didn't glitch, it just had an option built in for if players didn't have the required items to finally beat the nature dude.
He's missing a third talking card that will help him
Another small detail: mark in the last game died still blind in one eye, and the card reflects that
yep
Mark notices
OH MY GO--
And he also had gotten an eye, specifically a goat eye and that’s why he say a very pretty goat😂 cuz with a got eye you see a goat and like it😂
I was thinking it would! Hadn't seen a run ended with one eye yet, but the impression this game gave me definitely made me think it would show.
Campfire the Ringworm. At one point the settlers will stab and eat your creature. So using the Ringworm or Adder will kill the settlers if they take the card. Every Campfire after that will mean 5 risk-free upgrades to your card.
Also if I remember correctly it can be used as a “ring” in the boon section near the end of act 1
is that not what he did at 20:55? i don't know anything about the game besides what he's played so i might be wrong but they didn't do anything. are you saying to keep using it at the campfire until they do eat it?
@@lazxrev He did (I commented before finishing😅) After another run or two, it will start allowing you to risk keeping your card by the fire multiple times.

Gotta say, I'm really impressed with Markiplier's skills in this episode. He's really been thinking through his moves, and he did really well throughout this life. That stinky moon strategy was awesome!
I believe that that strategy was the Moon’s second worst weakness, knowing Mark, he’ll discover how to defeat it on turn one next run
I was impressed too and cant wait for the next video
And people doubted he would finish it, he's a smart guy
Inscryption ended in Act 1. Act 2 and 3 are not games.
I just did the touch of death, which one shot the moon.
I can't believe he actually listened to what Leshy said about the Ouroboros. I have not seen anyone pay attention to the fact that it gets stronger. Well done, Mark!
I got my Ouroboros up to 100/100. Though you can go higher than that.
I think a lot of people (at least the ones I've seen stream the game) saw that but thought the power up was temporary or only for that portion of the game. I never got the Ouroboros during act 1 but when I got to act 2 I did grab it.
@@allanbaker3958 yeah I got mine to 200/200 by the end of the game, though I saw someone else got theirs to 1000 and could have gotten it higher if they felt like continuing the exploit they found

Fun fact: the "Leshy" the green pulp of pain and misery is talking about refers to the GM, but Leshy are also Treant-like creatures from east-European folklore (you probably know them if you've played the Witcher) that are famed for their gambling addiction. It was said that Leshy would congregate and bet parts of their forests on their games. This explained the phenomenon of forests "moving" (aka having more or less trees over the years). So that's a really nice detail

I beat the game yesterday, and i have to say, It was my favorite game in the past while, my favorite part was definitely act 1 though in the cabin, just because of the moody and dark vibe in it compared to the rest of the games areas.
This is honestly one of if not the best series from Mark I've seen. Every time I see one of these videos it brightens my day, whether it be his hilarious commentary, amazing (but somehow also quite dumb?) gameplay, or random squeals of terror. Keep up the good work Markiplier :)
same i'm so happy he's still the same mark he's always been. loves games and always remembers where he came from. truly the most wholesome big name youtuber on the platform. Pewdie pie, jack bob, wade etc are all up there for sure but mark is at the #1 spot
SAME!
Mark: “why would you bring a shovel, seems suspicious.” Also Mark: has a tactical shovel cause you always need a shovel!”
I must say, Markiplier really honed his skills and how he thinks as time went on. He went from playing moves on a whim, to really strategizing how he would enact his turns. Thanks to him, I'm pretty hooked on this. Imma buy it soon tbh. Probably one of my new favorites in terms of playthroughs on this channel
A very tiny spoiler, the game goes DEEP down the rabbit hole just like Pony island.

Mark: "That's symbologically impressible"
*He's speaking the language of the gods*
Honestly, pretty outstandingly verbose moment there. Symbologically Impressible -- Symbologically is similar to symbolically, but more specific to study and knowledge. Impressible means that something can be impressed onto it. So essentially this phrase would mean that him entering the cabin would be capable of having a study/scientific analysis of its symbolism pressed into it. Pretty wildly accurate and neat as a phrase.

Some next tips to help along without spoiling anything - when getting boons make sure to look around the board for something hidden, use the dagger anytime before facing the final boss and make sure to look around, if you want the game to be a bit easier get the mantis god or a regular mantis and combine them (by sacrificing) with a heavy hitting card to do double the damage

RINGWORM CARD TIP (as supplied by a guy on Reddit):
There’s one where you sacrifice it to the survivors in the fire event, but I think you’ll only notice what it does if there is a second fire event. Just keep enhancing it until the survivors eat it. Then when you go to the fire event a second time (in a single run), something will be different.
This is also true for any cards with poison
you can upgrade a card more than once at any fire, each upgrade increases the chance of them eating it on the next upgrade at that given fire
Also if you make it to the final boss, and you come across the trials for the boons. The ringworm can be used for the trial of the ring.

@@ethanalspencer7294 I wouldn't say it loses all of it's charm. It only gets different, like this developers usually do. They twist the game a lot of times, and maybe you don't like it anymore, but for me it only gets better.
@@ends.paradox You're welcome =)
I'm liking his progress. 3 episodes in and he's almost 1/4 done with the game.
This is going to be a long game
Totally different types of content but I am still dying laughing at Manly finishing the entire game in two episodes 5 hours
@@TheBerylfly I think Manly mentioned that he cut a lot of things out, namely the repetition with Leshy, so his playthrough may have been actually been a similar length! Comparing his, Jesse Cox, and Mark's runs have been fun, though...
@@TheBerylfly Also I'm not sure if that happened with inscryption but Manly plays a lot of game he already knows everything about.
@@AsaanVesh Manly definitely said that, but that's part of the fun of the comparison for me, he looked at 5 hours of LP content and said "yeet."
That, and Manly death card was way OP

The Glitchy cards text translates to 'Deep Beneath' in case anyone wondering
Non-fighting cards can go to the Mycologists... you might like what happens after if you apply it right
Yes Markiplier, you CAN run out of cards, but you won't like what comes up when you do
i’m in act 3 right now, i’ve never run out of cards, what would happen? (totally okay with spoilers up until the beginning of the great transcendence :D)
@@ahnarchist 'Starvation' sets in. It's a card that is played against you as a penalty for being out of cards. Attack will increase each time a new one is played, Effect: Opposing cards cannot attack.
It's slow death, just like Starvation
Actually, y'know that glitchy card? Normally it's described with binary, but at 14:49 Mark found it during that rarer event, and it was actually given a NAME.
"Inhabited".
I never knew until now..
@@otamatonefan853 First I heard of it having a name
@@LeonSteelpaw same!
imagine he combined the mantis god with the uryruli so whenever he plays the uryruli it does 7 damage in 3 different directions👀
actually a 3 dmg one is better because of just the 2 bloods needed and instant win
@@saymybyshy he could make a death card with all of those capabilities but it would be hard to beat in the final fight
Unfortunately it still would require 4 blood. It would be better to boost mantis god's health at a campfire or give the sigil to someone like stinkbug
@@cadenswanson3412 actually if you keep 1 pelt and hope you get it during blood u can get it for free and if you have mantis god ability with wolf damage and health it could work (deathcard)
I have done this. It is beautiful.
just in case anyone was curious, after you die 3 times as in make a deathcard 3 times, anytime u come across a fire on a map, u have the choice of using it multiple times. if u put a ringworm or anyother poison creature through it and kill it, the next time u use the fire the people are gone and u get to use the fire to add either 5 attack or 10 health to a creature everytime.
also you can use the ring worm as a ring at the end
What was up with the static card then? I've never seen that
@@marcosramirez2278 it becomes a random card when you draw it
@@dacianatrif490 cooool
There’s something funny to me about Lixian and Nerd editing Luke’s card opening vid for him. Even in a meta game as a fictional RUclipsr, editor’s work never stops.
14:49 i don't think you realise what you just found out about that card.
Normally the shadowy game master would describe it with binary. But, you just found it in a rare event, and it was actually given a NAME.
"Inhabited".
The moment I saw Mark get the undying sigil for his squirrials it made me so happy. That is one of the most op things in the game. The possibilities become almost endless.
Well he is king of the squirrels lol
Squirrels of Worthy Sacrifice. Nuff said!
@@Kaiser0hmega literally not as strong. pick up 3 undying squirrels and you never need to spend a draw on one again. infinite sacrifices easy gg.
@@lilz_relixx5913 Still requires three spaces on the board instead of one. Though I do not deny the value Undying Squirrels, it is simply a matter of preference. You do you, and I do me, and we won't do each other. Probably..
That's a good poem right there.
Glad to see Mark finally remember that he's KING OF THE SQUIRRELS
I love how this game expands when you die, and how mark actually happens to take on a different play style wi every life
We're not gonna talk about how Mark beat the Prospector BEFORE the mule was even in the game. Coulda gotten something good, no?
Can’t comprehend how Mark went from having some noticeable trouble with this game to having something so OP, I haven’t seen any other RUclipsr take advantage of it.
Infinisquirrel is love.
Infinisquirrel is life.
I have, michaela laws did it too.
INFINISQUIRREL
The only thing better than infinisquirrel is 3 blood squirrels. You can pretty much ignore the cost of any card in the game, and unlike infinisquirrels which are limited by space you can place down 3 cost cards even if you only have a single square open on the board. Another good one is ant queen squirrels, you can fill a board up with an army of ants just by drawing squirrels and wreck everything in your path.
@@areadenial2343 3 blood infinisquirrel
Of all the people I’ve watched play this game, Mark has definitely been the most entertaining.
I agree, though I think manlybadasshero is a close second.
@@jorge2555 that Manly card was hilarious in the Moon scene
Jacksepticeye has some fun vids too of him playing this game
Yeah, besides his very funny way and fine voice, he is the only RUclipsr that have good knowledge of gaming, that what i feel at least
@@thatonepersonyouwontremember “you one shot the moon manly”
Proud to see that he used the stink strat so that the moon did no damage at all. I wanna see him keep playing this cause there is so much content on this game even when you think you've ended the game.
Mark, a tip! Use the dagger again and pick the glowing eye. You will be able to see stuff in the cabin that you couldn't see before ;)
giving hints is cool and all, butdont you think you went too far on the backseat there? you just told the whole solution
That’s not a tip, that’s a whole ass solution. Backseat gaming is toxic, just watch and enjoy.
@@murilosabino8364 if your screen looks different when you put on the new eye wouldn’t it be self explanatory to look around especially when the game itself encourages you to get up from the table from time to time? Maybe that last part was a bit much but I’ll edit it out
@@marz4807 Yes it would be self explanatory, and that's the point, telling which items to choose and what it does in a puzzle game is just bad.
Reminding him to use his knife is bad enough already, but maybe it is a necessary evil, if he's lucky enough to never need to use it, anything past that is just spoiling too much and sucling the wonder of solving a puzzle.
Why didn't he have a chance to get a glowing eye the first time? I got it on my first use of the dagger. And for the people complaining about backseat gaming that is the only way to progress the game and it's not really an obvious solution so it's helpful to know to avoid an episode of making no progress.
47:35 Mark’s editor is so good at his job that he couldn’t help but do the fictional youtuber’s editing too.
I'd be perfectly fine watching more of this series. It's so intriguing, and Mark is fun to watch generally. He even seems pretty invested in it.
I cannot wait to see more.
Sadly the views are less than his other videos, i hope that doesn't deter him from making a part 4
Same. I was actually bummed when I thought Mark had already reached the end of the game-so glad that there's more to see
@@SirSpartAfterDark More than 3 million on the first one, almost 2 million on the second, and this one's reaching almost a million in a day, dude he's not dropping it because of "views" or something lol, he literally says see you on the next one at the end
@@nox7919 I'm wondering if Mark will continue on Act 2 and even 3. Act 2 and 3 for me is a huge downgrade and a disappointment. I want to hear what Mark had to say.
It was a huge surprise for me because I thought Act 1 after the moon fight will have tougher bosses and a new map. But was two new games that I didn't ask for.
This game ended for me when I beat Act 1. 6 hours for $20 is a scam.
same! thanks
"I made a hasty retreat with my *Markimoo* "
"My *Wolf In me-* My *Wolfimoo* combo is unstoppable."
"All hail the Wolfimoo."
"You're a squirrel?? *OOOHOHOHOOOHOHOHOOOOWEEEEEE* "
wow, didn't know there was an 'alternate ending' to this. After he got wrecked by 8 grizzly bears the last time he got too far ahead of the game, I thought it would do it again. Not reward him for beating Leshy without getting the Stunted Wolf. Pleasantly surprised
I finished the game, but right now I'm just playing the Leshy part of the game without continuing the story and every time I beat him he says something different. In my latest game he even mentioned that his name is Leshy and that he's the scrybe of the beasts. I'm gonna just keep beating him until he has nothing more left to say.
@@cynister7384 Yeah, same. To be honest, I really really don't like the Lucky Carder found footage stuff. Takes me out of it. And its kinda cringey to be honest.
I just imagine the 3D Parts with the Scribes are the actual game
@@pax462 Oh yeah, the Lucky Carder thing is very cringey to me as well.
Another nice touch is that if you use the knife during the final fight, Leshy never gives you a replacement eye and so your "victory card" will be missing one too
@@cynister7384 he just doesn't have the right presence, with better acting it would be alot better
"these cards feel... *Silky*..."
“I'm sure that's symbologically impressible" Oh man, I almost died laughing! The face he makes, like, “What did I just say?" I literally almost passed out laughing, you're so good, Mark ‼️❣️
He flashbanged himself with his own words.
As expected of our dear Markiplier
@@grimsladeleviathan3958 Hahaha, so true
I just have to say this........
The feeling of seeing the excitement and joy in my 4 year old daughters eyes, to hear Marks voice, is just something special. I can't describe it, my best friend loves to watch my favorite youtuber with me! As soon as she heard your voice Mark, I swear, her happiness is compared to when you first became the King Of Fnaf! Her name is Emerald, she was diagnosed with autism but that absolutely doesn't stop her from knowing who you are! Keep making the world smile the way you make my daughter smile!
Hey man I watched your videos on your channel and I gotta say you’re extremely under rated, I mean you ate grass for god’s sake! You definite got the spirit my man and I can tell you and your daughter have a great relationship. Keep up the hard work and I’m sure you’ll get noticed! 😁
The sheer amount of joy and compassion people with autism can experience warms my heart, a couple of my good friends are on the spectrum and they're some of the most compassionate and friendly people I know. God bless your daughter, she's going to grow into a wonderful person
I have autism too! Hold your daughter close. She's (literally) a gem, no matter what anyone says otherwise.
I love how Mark gives the shadow guy a low, whispering voice, but for all the characters that the shadow guy plays he gives them a crazy kook voice. It's perfect.
Mothman supremacy
Mark's face when he went through the 'player's' videos was priceless to me because I knew the end wasnt the end because I have played games from these creators before, I suspected there was more to the game than what it seemed.
It truly is one of a kind so far.
The fact that at 45:00 Mark didn't just spam sacrifice the squirrel and the oroboros again and again and again and again until the oroboros was just op to the point of being able to kill the moon in one hit is absolutely wild to me.
The build mark had for this right at the end was just absolutely GOD tier omg.
i like how we have seen Mark's strategy evolve from something that has high cost monsters and not enough to tribute to summon them to something that spams high cost monsters out with infinite squirrels and tribute fodder. It's cool to see how strategies in this game become more interesting as you get further on. (I play Yugioh, so I use Yugioh terms for card games.)
Reminds me of a magic deck made by the dad of an old friend of mine. It literally gave him infinite squirrels.
@@figo3554 My favorite magic deck was a sac deck, so I'm glad to see Mark utilizing that strategy
without spoilers but some spoilers.
this isn't even 10% of the strategy depth this game has to offer, get ready to see a LOT more combinations and cards x)
This is single handedly one of marks best series I’ve been watching mark for a long time and I haven’t enjoyed a series this much in forever I literally Can’t wait for part 4
dude same this series makes me so happy, I haven't enjoyed a series this much in a hot minuet. I still love marks content but this is just extra entertaining
Mark... Just to give you some friendly advice... Feed the starving people at the campfire the Ring Worm. There will come a time when you can upgrade more than once at the fire but at the chance the starving people will kill and eat your beast. Let them eat the Ring Worm... And you'll never have to worry about them for the rest of that cycle.
for now, unless he does get stuck and has defeated Leshy 6 or more times, it's kinda unnessasary information, never have I seen any youtuber get stuck on act one for more than 3 wins
moreover never once has the survivors, eaten my selected creature first try at the fire, only the 2nd time and 3rd.
also, anything with the poison or corpse eater mark will also kill the survivors
oh so thats the intended purpose, i was wondering if the fire would eventually become dangerous, seeing as i beat the game on my third run im way past that already so i guess ill never experience it, also i never fully searched the cabin, dont know what the poster does if you replicate it and neither did i open the last of the puzzle drawers.
@@qwertzritter5197 When you beat the game you can go back and play the previous acts again though I don't know if you have to start from the beginning all over or if you keep what you discovered before. As for the paintings you get three items, one for each time you complete the puzzle per cycle. The first is a four leaf clover that you use to recycle a roll when the hobo lets you pick one of three cards giving you a second chance at better beasts. The second is a third candle stick giving you a second extra life if you lose and a second smoke card during boss battles. The third is a bee which turns your squirl cards into bee cards with 1 ATK 1 HP. Also next cycle you get the insect totem head giving you an almost unbeatable advantage especially since the insect totem affects more than just your bees...
Bro ive beaten the game 4 times and didnt know this... Thank you
This is....interesting news.....i did not know of this one....perhaps there is knowledge i can also pass to you....
I didn't know Mark played this game until I was half way through it, and you don't know how excited I was to see Mark find the same totem I used to win - unkillable squirrels. Infinite sacrifices and defences. Three squirrels is almost any sacrifice for the rest of the match.
Mark getting the Undying squrriel right off the bat is just... god damn
It's intentional during the game. It always shows up after the first 2 deaths.
When he had the choice for the mantis God, pack rat, and hog thing, I was screaming so hard for him to take the mantis as he could've fused it with the wolf markimoo or uraluli to make a strong hitter that attacks in 3 ways. Especially because he barely ever uses his items anyway
Its gonna reset anyways after he beats the game. No need to scream XD
@@bluem516 that's true, but I made this comment before I played the game or knew anything else about it lol.
The confidence with which he said "symbologically impressible" is astounding.
Even your grammar is exquisite.
He shocked himself after saying it
can I have a timestamp ples I watched the whole thing but didn’t notice
@@imsorryforarguingbut4555 ye same-
Time stamp?
I love how the Markimoo card only has one eye, showing how he affected his caharcter with the dagger.
