First, a big welcome to the channel and thanks for reaching out! It's mostly just Melody. I didn't use the premade Melody, and I changed her race to Einar instead of Baedish so now she gets ~6 or so strength every time she takes damage, even if she takes no damage because of her armor. These enemies like using Storm of Blades a lot too, so some of them attack 2 or 3 times per ability, so that's a free 18 strength right there, then I have a bastard sword giving+40% damage on passing slashes, plus a craftable weapon with the sharp property guaranteeing crits after I crit normally. With Sword crits resetting CD and opportunity, if you get lucky you can go for a really long time As for my other characters, Shakespeare has the Strifespear for +27str and Merlin has low intelligence and Tortuga's shield giving him triple strength from getting drunk instead of only double (and he's a dwarf, so he's immune to stuns including from alcohol) I hope this helps spark some character ideas, and if you have any more questions, I'd love to answer them!

Oh yeah, then we have Gwendolyn using Burning Antler, a 2handed weapon that gives 2 stacks of On Fire per attack which deals true damage scaling off the enemy level. With Sword crit CD reduction and with CD reduction from Berserker's Boots and Rhyme of Duotime, she can use it quite often for hundreds of points of damage. Paired with Song of Compulsory Cavorting for a stun from Una, and Fiona our Preacher casting Change Fate, we can stun and spread fire to the entire enemy team, wiping them all in a single turn. I do think fire damage may be stronger than usual, since we're playing on Legendary difficulty doubling enemy level (which is what the damage scales off of)

And the worst part is, I forgot to schedule the other ones before the wedding! Don't worry, they'll be up again tomorrow!

@@Elijah_Hawkins What wedding?

​@@quirquieElla and I just got married yesterday! 😊

@@elijahhawkins4033 Congratulations!

That's great to hear! I hope you enjoyed our play styles and stream format!

Thanks!

also with the blood crystals yes you can buy golem parts with them or you can buy suply chests from the guys at Mek Kamosis spire above the crok cave halfway up the western river. if you havent tried it yet you can also use them to access the kurak dungeon at the transportation stone there should be 30 to get inside, and if you harvest the golems you fight inside you should come out with more than it cost to go in.

Good to know! I haven't done any research on the latest event yet. Also, thanks a ton for the info on the steel production! It's been so long since I've done resource production I completely forgot and I even had to boot up the game and have a look. The usual process of iron>steel>reinforcement takes 6 iron bars and 2 steelfire though with a T3+ blacksmith, iron>iron reinforcement>steel reinforcement takes only 2 iron and 1 steelfire. I believe each step of the process takes 10 seconds, so they should actually take around the same amount of total time. The only difference is the workload split between the furnace and the blacksmith. Thanks again Domin! I forgot how good this method is and will be using it again in the future 👍

A dungeon I haven't seen before? Perhaps I may need to take a look at that before we wrap up our Conan series!

We're actually not matchmaking at all. It's using a private multiplayer game with my Fiance just by steam friends invite. I actually don't have any experience with online multiplayer apart from that. We would use and play with LAN games, but it always has trouble connecting for us

@@Elijah_Hawkins there were several days where the Civ VI servers were not allowing steam invites to be accepted by your friends. The game would refuse to host you. It was experienced by hundreds of players in eastern north america

@@spencerclements3005 Huh. I'm glad we've still been able to play. Now that I think about it, we have had a little trouble with the system in the past, but not anymore fortunately

Thanks! It's a comfort game of ours 🙂 In our previous Civ game I think we tried teams. Ella surprised me and beat me real bad, and because we were on a team I still technically pulled out a win. 😅 However, with teams and shared visibility it does make things easier, for things like boosts, era score, and other things. This time, we decided to play separately, and by coincidence we happened to spawn together, so it's been a super fun play. In the past few streams we've had to deal with a fair bit of war together and it's great interacting like that. (I won't spoil if you want to watch more!)

Thanks! With the length of that stream alone, It's definitely taken a lot of work. We're currently working on the opposite wall, inside the wall, and the Gate next Wednesday if you'd like to check it out!

Ah yes, I went back and checked there in Ep 23. Between 22 and 23 I had an issue with the recording and missed the part where we actually picked up the Plume, but I'd you follow the path we went down across from the standing stones and defeat all the enemies there, you'll find it in the final chest at the end of that area. I think I did a short walk through in the video as well. Sorry for the late reply! I hope it's still useful for you

@@Elijah_Hawkins Thank you for the response! I actually don’t have the game anymore, but I created that drop (Lilith’s Plume..) as part of a Kickstarter perk. And I think I got distracted/never finished the game. So I was curious what the plume looked like and how the description ended up turning out. I think I also had a “barfly” npc in Skara Brae Market or the Baedish Lowlands. I think her name was Elysian or Lily…It’s been a while! It was fun seeing you play even if I didn’t see the item, though! :)

@@Christina_Broccolini Wow! That's really cool! I kinda wish I was that early for the game! Perhaps I can find a way to show you the item in game?

On this playthrough I actually decided to go entirely Vanilla, using Skyrim Anniversary Edition, and the official labeled content in their Creation Club, so fortunately I didn't have to worry about any issues with achievements and still had a fun experience with a lot of new stuff added to a familiar game :) I have played Skyrim with a few aesthetic changes, like map clarity, etc on one of my own personal games using the Creation Club, and unfortunately the moment I start using non official content it does stop me from gaining achievements Hope this helps

I originally wasn't going to do the black books as part of my playthrough, but good to know and thank you! I decided to go back and do the black books now I did both of the black books from the Dragonborn DLC main quest line with Miraak, and now I'm off to find the other five next week Monday! We're streaming Skyrim with this character every Monday 8-11PM CDT if you want to join us! I'd love to have you there to help us out in chat while we look for the books!

@@Elijah_Hawkins sure my friend. I'll be there if i am off work.

@@Sour-ron Looking forward to it!

Yes, definitely helpful!

This is a game I've been playing for a long time, with my Dad on his channel @ClanHawkins and even outside of that during some family game sessions. He suggested I add it to my own channel and here we are! Now streaming every Friday 8-11 PM CDT (Starting up again July 5th) :)

@@Elijah_Hawkins ah ok😅, just new people to me then

@@theanyktos I love the game though and it takes things in crafting in really cool directions! Glad you managed to find the channel, and welcome!

Honestly, most of the time I didn't remember where I got them myself 🙂. Many keys in For the King II can be found by defeating Silver Serpents, which is a likely possibility. Other ways to find them are from the pirates that have the same sort of purple color around them (mostly found in Chapter 3). Though I believe it's partially by chance, you can also find special keys when shopping with the Goblin Merchants inside certain dungeons. I can't remember character 4 specifically, though I think the best bet is with the Silver Serpents. Just remember they are only there for a very limited amount of time (as low as even a single *turn*, not round) and they are very slippery. Be prepared with an ability that has armor or resistance pierce and high accuracy! (Or use focus instead)

@@Elijah_Hawkins Thank you!!

@@JGB6 Hey no problem! Thanks for reaching out!

The music in this game alone is enough to entertain plus with all the voiced lines, it definitely makes a great audio listening experience!

There is plenty more to come! Especially when we start going over more of the Bard abilities in Episode 10, plus all the puzzles skills and more to learn about

A good question! Unfortunately I only play PC and don't have much experience or knowledge in that field. I looked up and it seems cross-play isn't available yet, but it may be an option in the future. That's all I can say

Yes I did, thank you! I'm considering doing that with smithing or the other crafting skills possibly, since I won't be needing to upgrade my armor anymore, at least once I get access to the Daedric armors. Combat skills I won't since I don't want to lose my capacity to fight. What skills would you suggest?

Hmm, I reread this and now that I'm thinking about it, it's probably time to plan a few dates!

@@Elijah_Hawkins 💜💜

All good! You stick around a lot and it's fair for you to take a break here and there 🙂

Hmm, yes I did. Often between recordings, or after playing a stream game, I'll mix up or forget who gets what; especially gold multiplier

That's great to hear and thank you for the compliment. Much appreciated! I started loving this game a long time ago and I am very pleased by how the second one turned out! Definitely fun solo, even more so when you can get a friend or two (or 3 in FTK II) to play with

Thanks!

Ah, there you are! Glad to see you've been going back through them!
