New update just dropped, so enjoy this while I work on getting that out - currently live for a bit checking out all the changes!: www.twitch.tv/btdisab/
i've watched this video like seven times. it's extremely captivating. a breakdown of the layers of this challenge for those who Don't Get It: first off, many "ehh" challenges will have a limited number of solutions with a ton of red herring towers to choose from. we usually call these challenges "bait", ISAB plays them sometimes, they rarely trip people like him up. this challenge is incredible bait because it doesn't look like bait AT ALL from the first, second, or the fifth examination, and it's extremely high-effort bait at that. *notable rules:* • no selling • monkey knowledge allowed (!) • not a lot of money • 583 lives • 5x speed and 10x health moabs (exactly two moabs spawn on round 50, the last round of the challenge) basically, don't count on anything short of an instakill being able to take them down. this challenge has two available instakills: • *X4X monkey buccaneer* , which has _MOAB Takedown_ to pull in one moab. • Obyn lvl. 10 unlocks _Wall of Trees_ , which can hold 3,000 _RBE_ (Red Bloon Equivalent) worth of bloons. (each moab is 616 RBE.) you don't start with or gain enough money from pure popping and round end to force-level Obyn up to level 10. for now, let's push it to the side. *PART 1: the mana shield* (0:27) the _Mana Shield_ MK adds 25 "extra lives" that can regenerate. 583 lives + 25 mana shield lives is *608* . with the _Healthy Bananas_ MK, a XX3 banana farm will generate one life per round. with 9-10 rounds of life generation, this would put you at 617! so the solution seems obvious; if you can handle the first ten rounds (they're not that hard at all) and use MOAB Takedown on one of the MOABs, you can tank the second MOAB and win the challenge at round 50. • HOWEVER... the challenge rules screen doesn't show there's a _maximum_ life count of 591 (616 total!). instant death at the last MOAB on round 50 (1:36) basically this shows that the life count can't cheese this challenge. it's like this SPECIFICALLY to make you take the low hanging option instantly and get comedically punished for it. this is where the bait begins *PART 2: rubber-to-gold* (3:07) the next question is "can we bypass this life count or take down both moabs?" seems really unlikely given the obyn cost. in comes the alchemist, which didn't have too much of a use until now. _Rubber-to-Gold_ allows the alchemist to turn rubber (and lead) bloons to gold, making them give more cash per pop so we can close the level 10 price gap. ISAB buys a glue gunner to ensure R2G hits every single bloon, namely before the buccaneer can hit them. • HOWEVER... the glue monkey itself costs a lot of money to do this. ISAB removes the glue gunner and spaces out the buccaneer. (4:48) • HOWEVER... this is _also_ not enough money to buy Obyn lv10. suddenly the plan shifts - what if we removed monkey pirates and then used the extra money to buy wall of trees? WoT should be able to take BOTH MOABs just fine. *PART 2.1: the round 49 regrow farm* (5:47) HOWEVER... • removing monkey pirates means there's not enough popping power to beat the regrow farm on Round 49; the extra space between towers gives them time to regenerate. (6:12) (ISAB remarks on how deep this challenge is at this point.) introducing the druid, who has not gotten a lot of use at all either until now. • upgrade with Heart of Oak, which strips regrow off of bloons. *HOWEVER!!!!* once again we've hit a money shortage for level 10 obyn, and just barely. Heart of Oak is a pretty cheap upgrade, so it's easy to fall for *PART 2.2: the druid-induced money deficiency* (6:40) it doesn't help that the druid placement means it takes money away from R2G. we have to change the timing so that alch gets enough money. ISAB changes the plan so that he places the druid AFTER getting level 10 obyn, • HOWEVER... there's not enough money for the druid to stop the regrow farm. at this point, ISAB decides that we need to save more money EARLIER, which means stripping back our early-challenge defenses. but is it too risky? *PART 3: getting early wall of trees with no pirates* (7:38) ISAB realizes the life count serves a second purpose than to be an absolute troll - if he ignores all the camo bloons, he can tank all of them, spend less on defenses, and spend more on Obyn earlier. he also sneakily adds the glue gunner back in. this strategy is still risky because some rounds (especially the last two rounds before 50) rely on Obyn's brambles to not fuck over. but he does get the wall of trees, and even has enough money to spend on _two_ Heart of Oak druids! basically we're all set. the past majority of the video adds up to this point. • ...HOWEVER, wall of trees only tanks _one_ of the MOABs. the other moab passes by. (9:30) it's like a house of cards collapsing in on itself. another reason why this challenge is the best bait challenge of all time. no idea why it can't take two moabs, maybe it has something to do with MOAB health. however, this reveals that we NEED the pirates to complete it, so we're back to Part 2-levels of thinking. ultimate waste of time *PART 4: figuring out the pirates and trees order* (9:53) one, we take out the two heart of oak druids. too much money wasted. second we figure out that we need to get both pirates AND wall of trees before the first moab in round 50. considering how tight on money we've been until now this is a kind of difficult task. the challenge shifts from extremely clever baity trolls to like, practical BTD6 skill, though i guess it'd be considered kinda minor micro. at this point it's a balancing act managing the regrow farm on r49. we know pirates comes first because it's needed first and takes longer to finish cooldown.(?) here, ISAB buys the pirates earlier, which is a risk because it takes away valuable alchemist money. (12:20) it was apparently perfect timing, though, because we still make enough money for wall of trees. the cooldown for both takedown and trees finishes fast enough to take both MOABs, and pretty comfortably tool. this ends the challenge once and for all. that's seven "HOWEVER"s, by the way. there's so many twists to this challenge. let's not forget the genius in the *the title - CIS1.4 => 79AU = TTG! 5-34* : • cis-1,4-polyisoprene is isoprene rubber! • element 79 on the periodic table is _gold_ , which has the symbol _Au_ • Teen Titans Go! season 5 episode 34 is titled "Forest Pirates". literally "rubber-to-gold = forest pirates". it's just the walkthrough in the most incomprehensible obfuscated form possible. figuring out the name of the challenge is supposed to make you feel stupid when it clicks. like, you would've: a) avoided the mana shield bait and figured out the R2G thing (skip part 1), and b) realized that you need both Obyn AND pirates (skip part 3). all it takes is a few easy google searches to save like an hour of your time also if you think about it, the lives thing being a big red herring goes to show that the two life MKs (healthy bananas and mana shield) that looked like they would be the key to the challenge ended up meaning nothing at all in the end, which, in itself, is also kinda funny beautiful challenge on every single level. multi-layered genius. imagine getting a streamer to google the chemical name for isoprene rubber for a monkey tower defense game
So in case you couldn’t find it... CIS1.4 => 79AU = TTG! 5-34 As ISAB found out in the video, CIS1.4 is rubber. The ‘=>’ is a stand in for ‘to’. 79AU is obviously gold. The ‘TTG! 5-34’ apparently stands for Teen Titans Go, Season 5 Episode 34, which is called “Forest Pirates” Rubber to Gold is obviously a bottom path Alchemist. Forest as in Wall of Trees from Obyn. And Pirate as in middle path Buccaneer. Like holy shit @Peki Codex that is such an insane decipher... You can find their reply under the comment @Neefew _ made. I’m certain a majority looking for the comment found it, but this is for the people that aren’t looking at any replies for their search.
I still have no idea what the second half of that title was, but I was able to get “rubber to gold” out of the first half and was internally screaming every time he got closer to the answer or was going “Shoot, the money’s just not there!” 😂 Edit: Just found out about how the second half means “Forest Pirates” from the Teen Titans Go episode name, and all I can say is that the creator of this challenge is a mad genius lmao
I found a tower stacking glitch! On the new expert map, get a 0-4-0 heli, and move the tower on the upper deck of a 5-0-0 pirate ship, then get the second one, and repeat!! You'll see if your doing right when the towers are invisible!
TTG! 5-34 doesn’t mean win, it references Teen Titans Go! season 5 episode 34, which is called “Forest Pirates”, so you get rubber>gold=forest pirates, giving you the solution.
I probably would have just done a regrow farm with druids with the tornadoes, and that would give me enough money and time to get the forest, with some obvious adjusting of the cross paths of druids and when you get the crosspaths.
yeah 79 au refers to gold then the cis 1.4 refers to rubber which he got then ttg 5-34 refers to a teen titans go episode from season 5 episode 34 called forest pirates translating to rubber gold forest pirates which gives you the solution
ye he figured out the rubber which got him rubber to gold but honestly the 79au was so much more obvious than the rubber but you cant blame him for not getting the teen titans go episode

i've watched this video like seven times. it's extremely captivating. a breakdown of the layers of this challenge for those who Don't Get It:
first off, many "ehh" challenges will have a limited number of solutions with a ton of red herring towers to choose from. we usually call these challenges "bait", ISAB plays them sometimes, they rarely trip people like him up. this challenge is incredible bait because it doesn't look like bait AT ALL from the first, second, or the fifth examination, and it's extremely high-effort bait at that.
*notable rules:*
• no selling
• monkey knowledge allowed (!)
• not a lot of money
• 583 lives
• 5x speed and 10x health moabs (exactly two moabs spawn on round 50, the last round of the challenge)

• HOWEVER... the challenge rules screen doesn't show there's a _maximum_ life count of 591 (616 total!). instant death at the last MOAB on round 50 (1:36)
basically this shows that the life count can't cheese this challenge. it's like this SPECIFICALLY to make you take the low hanging option instantly and get comedically punished for it. this is where the bait begins
*PART 2: rubber-to-gold* (3:07)
the next question is "can we bypass this life count or take down both moabs?" seems really unlikely given the obyn cost. in comes the alchemist, which didn't have too much of a use until now. _Rubber-to-Gold_ allows the alchemist to turn rubber (and lead) bloons to gold, making them give more cash per pop so we can close the level 10 price gap.

• HOWEVER... the glue monkey itself costs a lot of money to do this.
ISAB removes the glue gunner and spaces out the buccaneer. (4:48)

*HOWEVER!!!!* once again we've hit a money shortage for level 10 obyn, and just barely. Heart of Oak is a pretty cheap upgrade, so it's easy to fall for
*PART 2.2: the druid-induced money deficiency* (6:40)

that's seven "HOWEVER"s, by the way. there's so many twists to this challenge.
let's not forget the genius in the *the title - CIS1.4 => 79AU = TTG! 5-34* :
• cis-1,4-polyisoprene is isoprene rubber!
• element 79 on the periodic table is _gold_ , which has the symbol _Au_
• Teen Titans Go! season 5 episode 34 is titled "Forest Pirates".
literally "rubber-to-gold = forest pirates". it's just the walkthrough in the most incomprehensible obfuscated form possible.
figuring out the name of the challenge is supposed to make you feel stupid when it clicks. like, you would've: a) avoided the mana shield bait and figured out the R2G thing (skip part 1), and b) realized that you need both Obyn AND pirates (skip part 3). all it takes is a few easy google searches to save like an hour of your time
also if you think about it, the lives thing being a big red herring goes to show that the two life MKs (healthy bananas and mana shield) that looked like they would be the key to the challenge ended up meaning nothing at all in the end, which, in itself, is also kinda funny
beautiful challenge on every single level. multi-layered genius. imagine getting a streamer to google the chemical name for isoprene rubber for a monkey tower defense game

Can anyone decipher the full title?
I got cis1.4 => 79au is rubber to gold, but what does TTG! 5-34! mean?
TTG! 5-34 references the show "Teen Titans Go!", with the numbers being Season 5 - Episode 34.
The title of the episode is "Forest Pirates".
You guys are too big brain for me
@@pekicodex6233 how does anyone remember episodes from such a lackluster and forgettable series
@@federicoislab Because no one would have guessed that TTG! Means Teen Titans Go! And just google the numbers and the name
@@pekicodex6233 wow it went from something so big brain to something nobody would have ever gotten, thus making the title a lot less interesting. F.
So in case you couldn’t find it...
CIS1.4 => 79AU = TTG! 5-34
As ISAB found out in the video, CIS1.4 is rubber. The ‘=>’ is a stand in for ‘to’. 79AU is obviously gold.
The ‘TTG! 5-34’ apparently stands for Teen Titans Go, Season 5 Episode 34, which is called “Forest Pirates”
Rubber to Gold is obviously a bottom path Alchemist.
Forest as in Wall of Trees from Obyn.
And Pirate as in middle path Buccaneer.
