Hey, you’re right, it’s been a minute since I last played. Not sure if it will help, but you might need to farm the bigger ones, as opposed to the regular ones. Good luck and thanks for watching!

It’s been forever since I last played this, but the first thing that comes to mind is making 100% sure your rooms are completely within the recognized boundaries of the town. If any part of it falls outside the boundary, I don’t think it will recognize the room(s). Anything you you see in that video with the walls of the outer walls or spiked moat around the base are outside the boundaries and don’t count as anything. On a different note, if you’re all about building, that’s also a silver lining too. Within the actual boundaries of the town, there’s actually a hard limit on what you can place. Outside of the boundary, you can go wild. If you watch another video I posted of Rimuldar (second chapter), you’ll notice that two of the roofs in town are incomplete. I had to leave it that way because the game wouldn’t let me place anything else within town. However, outside of the boundary, there was no issue. Not sure if any of that will help-hope it does, and hope you enjoy the game!

Especially when Cloud and crew are around and there’s treasure to be had.

Yeah, dude needs a day off every now and again. The others can more than hold their own. Thanks for watching!

Was playing a Custom game. Had adjusted the Alarm multiplier to max (x5). Also, when you get to the later days in Endless mode, apparently Daemons apply right away. When Blowfish 2.0 hits, it normally ratchets up the Alarm level to 2 right away. However, because of the multiplier in effect, it shot it all the way up to 10. What made it even worse is that two of my characters had Gel Injectors as augments. So while that’s good early, it’s detrimental the higher the alarm level gets. I went from entering the level with those characters each having 15AP to them only having 5AP after Blowfish took effect. Combine that with the 7 extra guard spawns and their knowing your location, and for all practical purposes it was game over even before the level began. 🤣

@@flooderdooden2179 Ah, see, that exact situation is why I never install gel injectors

@JohnSmith-de9jb, yeah I learned that the hard way. On the type of Custom difficulty I had created, they were doing just fine to that point. But when Blowfish hits, they turn into concrete shoes. On the flipside, it now has me wondering what the Reactive Moyomer augments will do when Blowfish hits that hard. Agents suddenly have 20+ AP a turn and it’s off to the races. 😝

Yeah, I got lucky for sure that the sun’s gravity could let me slingshot back to Timber Hearth. Probably couldn’t repeat it if my life depended on it-but that’s one of the things that makes the game so special. No two people will have exactly the same experience! After the fact, it got me thinking about others’ vids on their Hotshot experience. This might be the other craziest one I’ve ever seen-a guy actually running Hotshot shipless. I can’t imagine how long it took him to figure this out (probably as long, if not longer than those people who have completed the game entirely without the ship) but it’s nuts: th-cam.com/video/e4H07sGv_Nk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=E9vqDSy5df6gqo0K. Thanks again for sharing your vid!

And on the Volcano biome, at that. Welcome to hell. 🤣

Yeah, it seems that way for now. These types of weapons were available in the later game for around the first month that the game was out (pre-patch). According to the developers, the patch included a bugfix that adjusted weapon DPS downwards. However, a few people on their Discord (myself included) have pointed out how problematic the adjustment is for late-game players for trying to finish a song before it loops, particularly on Lethal difficulty. My hope is that they’re looking at the balance concerns and will readjust as needed-hopefully sooner than later, so that this challenge is more doable for players. Otherwise, most post-patch players are now stuck using Lydia and a solid Legendary bow to finish levels in time. If you’re working on the platinums, best of luck to you!

Thanks, LP! I figured you were still pressing for this achievement, given what you had mentioned over in Drastic’s Discord. Sounds like you’ve mostly made solid progress to this point. To your question about which levels I found most difficult, I would say some of the lower BPM songs gave me issues due to their lengths at times. With a slower song, you fundamentally have fewer opportunities to shoot or dash, so those choices have to be made with maximum efficiency. With those levels, it became much more of a focus on killing things (especially the magicians) as soon as possible, as well as always moving forward. Some of the biomes are just tougher too-Volcano and Peaks come to mind there. I remember struggling a good bit with Ownage (for the BPM/tempo change there) and Nightmare of Defeat (due to early enemy/turret placement) in the Volcano biome, while some of the slower BPM songs combined with the environmental hazards in Peaks made things a little tricky. This level above is super tough too, and my recommendation is moving from Ky to Lydia to get it done. If you don’t get Discord’s health all the way down each time it’s vulnerable, you have to go through a new wave of tentacles/bullet hell. Obviously, the longer that goes on, the more likely it is you get hit or make a mistake beat-wise, so speed is the name of the game. Let me know which song you’re having trouble with (as Ky), and I’ll try to give you a more in-depth answer (can’t recall 5-5 off the top of my head-primarily did the challenge through free play, so songs were arranged alphabetically there, as opposed to Story Mode order). In the meantime, best of luck to you!

Thank you very much for answering! As for your complex songs, I completely agree, although the levels with each specific character are perhaps the most difficult for me, and by the way, if you haven’t looked at level 5-5 yet, this is the one with kai, since I never played kai in my life, because for me it the weakest of this five characters, but this is again my opinion and I don’t have the necessary overdrive for him, but the fight itself is that I used each character somewhere, but somehow I didn’t work out with kai. And yes, as far as I understood you, you thought that I play on kai and this is a normal level, but it’s not, because as you wrote in the drastic's discord that there is only one meta for new players - Lydia’s triple bow and this is quite true, in fact I use others characters only at the final levels, and for all the rest you have to use Lydia, although, to be honest, since some recent time, I would like to change my tactics, but the DPS of the weapon does not allow me to do this. And thanks again for part of your answer!

@@lp8378, well I have good news for you. I just looked up the level you mentioned, and realize that you’re working on the challenges through the Story Mode. As such, this one occurs during a ‘Temple’ level and forces you to use Ky to complete it. However, if you slide over to Free Play mode in the parent menu, and then search by Biome, this song (Come Move Your Body) will show up there as well. And it will be a conventionally laid-out Level that will allow you to use your preferred character to complete it. The same goes for any of the x-10 horde rush levels too. Given that I went through this challenge entirely through Free Play mode, I didn’t go through those levels in that way. I’d highly recommend you (and any others trying for this challenge) to do the same. In Free Play, they become regular levels-and as such, are far less intimidating/challenging than they would be otherwise. Hope that helps you out!

@@flooderdooden2179 It's funny that I only found out about this feature towards the end of the game. I want to say thank you again, because thanks to you and this feature, I will most likely be able to get multiplatinum, and as I have been planning to post a video with all the levels for multiplatinum on TH-cam for a long time, in fact, I came up with some kind of motivation for myself, because I did not see anyone I posted all the levels in one video on this game, of course this is due to the fact that the game is not very popular, but I think that is also due to the new meta, with which it is extremely difficult for an ordinary player to achieve multiplatinum at this moment. Finally, I wish you all the very best.

@@lp8378, posting every level would be quite the undertaking, but for those who attempt the challenge later, could prove valuable for them. Good luck assembling and posting that, and best wishes on wrapping the challenge up yourself!

Thanks! Glad to have it wrapped up-I’ve not played Crypt of the Necrodancer, so I have no frame of reference for comparative difficulty, but this experience was pretty damn hard at times! I did hear that Necrodancer is notoriously hard though. If you’re working on the same challenge in this game, best of luck to you!

Thanks for taking the time to watch! The sequel has just released a few weeks ago in North America-and after watching a few Twitch streams, I think hopping back into something like this might just be super satisfying for the remainder of the summer/fall. If you’re playing either game, hope you’re enjoying it!

@@flooderdooden2179 well currently i'm playing the first one and still on the first chapter, an i like this game sooo much more than minecraft, i like game's where i can crate thing's but i think the thing i love most is the adventure and story in this game , soo seeing some of what can be done with all this is amazing, some peolple would probally consider what i'm doing bad and would spoil thing's for me, but for me it more so interesting and a mean's of gathering information and honsetly a lot of fun seeing what people make too :)

Scarlet Moon, totally with you on having some story to go along with the crafting. I also liked the diversity of things you could craft in this series versus Minecraft. And your playing the first game at this point likely means that by the time you get around to the sequel, it could be cheaper and an overall better value. So personally I think you have the best of all worlds going for you. Take care, and good luck building!

Hey, thanks so much for watching, along with the kind words! And I could totally see where some ‘how to’ videos could be popular-especially when the games are relatively new and more people are playing them. Unfortunately on my end, that would require a level of technical editing and time that would eat into the smaller windows of gaming time I get. And honestly, some of the finished products were very much an active exercise in experimentation (some of the roofing elements come to mind, especially on the towers since they were more circular). I did also try to pay attention to symmetry where I could with the towers, walkways, lighting, supports, etc. That in itself can take an inordinate amount of time, depending on your levels of OCD. All that said, the finished product was really the sum of many smaller ideas that sort of appear during the process of doing smaller things. I can totally understand how people might have a level of ‘analysis paralysis’ if they try to look at the big picture too early, so for that I always say start small. Think about something cool that’s totally doable, and set to work on it. Usually in the course of getting it done, either a problem will pop up that you’ll have to think about, or there will be some aspect where you might have adjust/reconsider your plans. Before you know it, you’ll be off on the next idea. And so it goes. Thanks again for watching, and hope you have fun building something cool, whether it’s in DQB1 or DQB2!

Thanks for watching, and DQB2 is just around the corner (July)-guessing the builder will see some more action this year! 😉

Doofus (my builder) enjoys her winning personality. Plus she’s okay with handcuffs and shock flowers in the room.🙂

Too true-although all things considered, the spikes did pretty well too. Most of the enemies would spawn down there and die right away. Getting their drops probably would have been easier without the water. But having water definitely would have improved the overall look. Thanks for watching!

You can mine blocks from any nearby water source to your city.

The town is definitely ready for the condor now! Thanks for watching!

I should have just choked him out, but wanted to make it more dramatic with the headshot. However, it turned out more dramatic than I would have liked. I should have expected such from Mr. Bean.

@@flooderdooden2179 I'm glad you put the video up, I'd just completed the mission and was interested to see which other ways it could be done.

His name was pretty much spot on for my run-The Undying. I also laughed when looking back at the footage and saw that the killshot was to the elbow. Suffice it to say, I’m using fiber wire where/when I can going forward.

Penguin Wei, that’s for sure! Thanks for watching!

All it takes is time and vision. Start small with projects, and I bet you’ll get more ideas as you work through those smaller projects. Before you know it, you get something crazy overboard like this. Thanks for watching, and hope you’re enjoying the game!

Thanks for watching!

Daniel Morales, it's a happy side effect of using the Naughty Night Lights! Thanks for watching!

Hey, sorry for the delay in responding! To answer your question, essentially yes. It was a longer process of filling in areas of the poisoned bog, then using the clean water block/crystal to create the clean water, then carefully expanding the clean area while filling in the areas with the poison. I then relocated the poison peat to the back area of the home map, where you fight the giant snail (eliminated that entire poison bog that way too). Thanks for watching!

@@flooderdooden2179 Thanks for your response. :)

Erdrick’s Descendant, yeah, the irony of this particular build is that while I enjoyed building it very much, hitting the item limit for placed items in town (which included roofing tiles as placed items for some reason) really dampened my excitement for Terra incognita mode. I'm really hoping that the limit is drastically raised in the sequel, because I love seeing larger creations/towns (and trying to build them myself). That said, I'm guessing the sequel is likely a year away from release in the West, so if you have the hankering to build now, the original is still a good option, even with the limitations. Thanks for watching, and I hope enjoy building something great no matter which game you decide to jump into!

Thanks so much for the compliment and watching! You looking forward to DQB2? :)

Ofc 😀

Yeah, I really hope so too. I've been around since the first game released (watching Twitch streamers ilulu and imtheblueranger play it on release day made me take the plunge) , and I enjoy going down the rabbit hole and searching for answers. Not sure when you played this, but if it was recently, you really need to jump into the next one as soon as it's released. This game/experience plays out in a much more compelling way when there's no definitive answers available and the community is working together on crowdsourcing progress. You'll also find that community/fans of this series are super devoted, so with each new game release, there's a homecoming of sorts as previous players come back together for the new experience. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the game too--thanks for watching, and spread the word about the series to your sci-if/puzzle loving friends. Take care!

Yeah ive seen the first game being played by a german youtuber named Gronkh and immediately I was fascinated by its mystery so when i heard 2 weeks ago that there is a second part called oversight I instantly bought it and the awesome Soundtrack i bought aswell. Well lets hope for the best.

Actually, for safety's sake, he came to town when only the base/basement level was completed (that fight is much easier to deal with when there's a flat open square up top to run around and place ballista). The townspeople were safe down below while the smackdown happened. However, it's most definitely open season on any little condor squawkers who get an idea to harass the town now. 😉 Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Hey, when you say 'what it means' what exactly are you referring to? Just want to be sure so I'm on the same page before responding.

The ending. Like, what's he talking about?

Phatnaru0002, keep in mind that this story is assembled/experienced with an amount of ambiguity to it, so there's likely not a 'definitive' interpretation to it. That said, Hollis appeared to be part of the crew for a manned mission to Venus (Venera 17) to investigate the source of the original signal. There was at least one other person with him (many speculate Bester, though perhaps our experiences/memories of Bester occurred on Earth with Hollis, before there was a decision to enact Venera 17). Upon arriving, it seems they initially spent time in the atmosphere, learning/gathering what they can, but eventually decide to land to find the source/get definitive answers (i.e. the fragmented Venera 17 memory). Upon landing, they realize their mistake (Venus is hot/inhospitable) and are incinerated. However, at the game's close, it would seem Hollis is somehow still alive, if in thought/memory if nothing else. The difficult thing to determine is whether he somehow became absorbed/transmitted by the Source post-mortem, or whether what we're seeing/experiencing isn't reliable since it's happened while in the machine. The very first memory would seem to imply that perhaps things could be altered to seem different than they really are. At the same time, we don't know whether that's the case, or whether what we first saw was a Venus before cataclysm struck. Honestly, not having all the answers is part of the fun of this game though (gathering/piecing the fragments/details to build a larger story). All that said, what do you think happened?

I'm afraid I don't know. Lol, you seem to have a better grasp than myself though. I thank you for taking the time to elaborate. It was an enjoyable read and makes much more sense to me.

Phatnaru0002, not a problem! Honestly, this is one of those games where additional playthroughs provide additional insights, as players notice things they might have missed the first time around or find new ways to interpret what's happening (and when) in the story. Also, this series is unlike any other when it first releases because nobody knows the answers and everyone is working together to solve the puzzles and discuss the story. It's a fantastic experience, and one I'm thankful to experience with each release from Nilo.

Thanks for the compliment and taking the time to watch!

Hey, people like McDonalds too--if/when you build something, be sure to share! Thanks for watching!
