WARNING: STINKY CHEESE BELOW: Since you're starting with Dominate and a ton of ego, you can usually further increase your power like this: 1) Look for an npc that's easy to dominate like a farmer. With 26 ego you should have no issue finding candidates. 2) Make sure they can trade (if they can't trade, like a dragonfly, dominate them and make them pick up a torch or something). 3) Sell your entire inventory to them except your waterskins (to hold the water you're making) 4) Dominate them and have them drop everything you just sold them except the torch that makes them able to trade, then pick it up so you can sell it to them again 5) Buy all of the waterskins from the local Dromad to hold more water. 6) Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you can buy out the local Dromad Merchant and have all your waterskins full 7) Now you do the body swap.
Here's some advice: Get the Psychometer mutation if you can, then go to the local merchants and get whatever artifacts or high tier gear you can, and likewise steal any in the area. Psychometer is a free identify, and if the merchants have any good stuff, you'll want to buy it while you still have the Snake Oiler skill so you can get it at a better price. Make good use of those skills while you still have them.
I generally don't recommend taking psychometry unless you somehow don't want anything else, as you can get it for free from cooking or from Ezra, I do recommend always getting Snake Oiler though, 19 ego is pretty low requirement :)
Oh yeah, also, drop a weapon in case your subject needs a weapon- and if you find the red characters (farmers and farmers daughters w/ red icons who are also sometimes single named or have a town title) they often have even better stats. And the red farmer looking ones have 100 hps. Just got one w dominate as their mutation- low 30s in all mental stats and 20s in physical. Once got a farmers daughter w 40 ego at level 1.
Legendary Farmers often start with 100 hp and high stats, often able to carry almost 500 kg and can start with 4 mutations at lvl 1. thanks for the video but not sure why you choose the daughter. gonna keep shopping around and looking at different legendary characters.
In my testing, the Apple Farmers daughters were all significantly more powerful that the legendary farmers, but not sure if that changed since the recording of this video
From what i seen legendary pig/apple farmers start with 100hp but can't open/close doors. the highest apple daughter stats come from when they're the village cheif 30int/32wis/35ego 20/22 other@Headtwotoe
The answer is yes. I got back in to it after 1.0 and my first thought watching this video and remembering the old UI was "Wow that used to look like menus from 15 different games" The new UI makes the entire thing gel together and it all looks like those item description windows that pop up in rat's videos.
Just gave this a go first legendary did not have any mutations I figured would be of use....my second tho was pretty good. Had light manipulation and two hearted and spinners so that will do at least.
Domination. Bananas. Cloning Gel. Shit gets wild in Qud once you realize this world plays by it's own rules haha. This isn't even an exploit, it's a gameplay feature.
Good question: You can use any mutant skin you like, and you can dominate any other mutant skin you like, however if you do the Apple Farmers Daughter, then that is your skin (unless you import a custom sprite). This can't be done with a Truekin, since they don't get domination through normal means in the early game. Maybe if you spawn with a ganglionic teleprojector and find a robot you can but again the likelihood is slim.
Yeah it was a hell. I entered temple of rock with more than 200 glimmer and 5 extradimensional hunters spawned. They killedveveryone and after i killed them i couldnt find the baetyl. Was probably sucked into vortex.
only bad thing is that you lose precognition. precognition is the strongest skill in the game. With it, you can abuse sparkling baetyl quests for infinite stat points and eat neutron flux recipes for infinite AV. You can become unkillable late game due to how many stats and AV you have.
True. I'm not sure I agree that its the most powerful, but its definitely up there! the reason being that the devs have seeded a lot of precog stuff, making rerolling pointless without using drops of nectar to reset the seed. Neutron flux with precog is insane, thats definitely true! Although I'd say you don't really need more than 30 to be super comfortable and beat the Nephilim! Unless of course, you get super lucky the apple farmers daughter has precog!

Yeah this is a great little cheez tip! I love how creative you can get in Qud with things like dominate!
The Captain Ginyu strat lmao
Love this! I finally understand how to perma-dominate. I’ve got a legendary baboon and snap jaw so far.
Thanks to you I just did this. Really clever way to start!
Glad it helped!
Can't wait to try it out
Good luck! It actually took me about 15 attemps to get this to work, however when I tested it before recording I got it first time!

Step 1 Don’t be dyslexic when playing this game

Someone test this a little longer with the new update?

Has the new UI consistent font sizes or is it still a mess?
hmmm that's odd, I've never noticed an inconsistent font size with Qud at all. What settings were you using?
The answer is yes. I got back in to it after 1.0 and my first thought watching this video and remembering the old UI was "Wow that used to look like menus from 15 different games"

This is so fucking cool

light manip is one of the best so there ya goooo
cool!
Caves of Qud - "Become Femboy" speedrun completed in 6:23 by Rogue Rat
lmao jk jk good vid!
great stuff
That’s incredible! Does this still work?
It does!
@ Awesome! Thank you for everything you do! Have a Merry Happy!
Merry Christmas to you!
Domination. Bananas. Cloning Gel.
Shit gets wild in Qud once you realize this world plays by it's own rules haha.

Has this been patched or just bad rng? i haven't seen a single legendary apple farmers daughter in 20 attempts 😭
I found a sage with 41 ego
It's bad RNG - it took me 1 attempt to get this to work on stream but for this video I started about 15 times D:
@@Rogue_Rat crazy I never found a legendary apple farmer. I did find something better but it's almost to good if you know what I mean.
Maybe we can do it with kin race ? Or another mutant skin ?
Good question: You can use any mutant skin you like, and you can dominate any other mutant skin you like, however if you do the Apple Farmers Daughter, then that is your skin (unless you import a custom sprite).
This can't be done with a Truekin, since they don't get domination through normal means in the early game. Maybe if you spawn with a ganglionic teleprojector and find a robot you can but again the likelihood is slim.
@@Rogue_Rat Where can you find the same cool npcs in the beginning like the farmer's daughter ? Yeah, it would be interesting to play a robot.
Just did this and the legendary daughter had zero mutations, is that normal?
Interesting - I've never encountered that personally. Maybe it can happen, or maybe its been changed?
thank you mr rat, i am looking forward to dying in bethesda susa after pulling this off (its the farthest ive ever been)
Same, bethesda susa is actual hell
You're very welcome, and don't worry, you're going to SMASH Bethesda Susa next time!

Second try and i got one with precog, disintegration, confusing stinger, and heightened hearing
How tf did you discover this?
Too many hours playing Qud
Wow, this feels almost like cheating!
