Hey, for new Dark and Darker players coming after the steam release, gold is a crafted gear that becomes available through questing, usually 1 month into a wipe. The gear has been nerfed since this video was made and isn't as strong, but still looks the same. Just to help any confused people, the game does go through patches quite often. Welcome to all the new guys!
I love the voice over commentary because you have hindsight and can explain everything smoothly, whereas live commentary can just be a chaotic. Can definitely learn a lot more with voice over.
16:00 just a tip, you can crouch and hug the right side of the goblin archers to completely avoid their arrows, while melee attacking them. It works 99% of the time unless you have a big elevation difference.
You were the first dnd youtuber I found and still my favorite. A lot of dnd players are so full of themselves, but you can poke fun at yourself, which is something I really like. Love the post game commentary too.
I don't play the game and this is the first video of yours I've ever seen but the non-live commentary is done well and is probably the right way to go with anything like this that is educational. When I want to learn something about a game it can be very frustrating to have the person constantly pause and lose their train of thought while trying to explain something because they are actively having to consider their choices live, while a retrospective commentary can be much more consistent and easier for me as a listener to actually follow. The fact that I stayed long enough on a video for something I probably wont ever care about is testament it's self that you're not hard to listen to, I'm enjoying learning regardless if it's actually of any use to me.
I NEED MOAR! keep em coming dude, looking forward to this new series. and don't fret on the length too much, since anyone can portion it to their liking.
Love your vids; the cool calm and collected voice, the commentary after the fact, this time, is even better. You're my go-to for all DnD content. Thanks for your work, and please keep it up!
love your channel, the voice over is really cool and it seems like youre having fun doing it. this is such a comfy thing to watch and your voice - very soothing
when you are done with the series you should compile them all into one video - "Zero to gold Wizard movie" Id love to see it all in one go too. Great video king.
35:58 nice lil speed up to cover the second trap hit in a row haha. Ur really good at the game man I learn so much from watching! Keep it up bro! Much love
Awesome video! That first room in hell, you can cheese the beserker from the res shrine, after you kill the archer from that first safe spot! Thanks for good watch!
Love the video, Love your voice, Love the insightful commentary to accompany those few funny moments, jam packed with insight and information on how to play the way you do. I hope this video blows up for you and i hope you continue this soon! I was already ready for p.2 but noticed the video was only 5 hours old! Looking forward to seeing it, keep up the good work! Have a goodnight homie
Would love this type of gameplay, if it was only set in a world where these dungeons is out there in the world. So you can explore, then head back to a town/village or even have a adventure guild to make things even easier :D. Get quest etc etc
if you crouch and hold the goblin archers left leg(so you would be to his right) you will not get hit by his shot ever, unless it was patched in the last week, if it was just ignore me :) nice video!!! wish ya the best!
Just a note for the comment on 15:20, the only capes that can roll above a base 3 of their stat is Will and Knowledge. None of the other capes can roll above 3. I don't know why it's that way, but it seems to be that way.
Been watching you for quite some time and had to come back to this amazing video now that its back on steam, got my friends hooked to the game as well so gonna be binging your vids for tips! Excited for future content!
Good lord i wish i found this game sooner. This shit is a blast to play. Everything i loved about tarkov mixed with Mordhau and chivalry. Thanks for these videos for real.
Hey man I just want to say that your vids are amazing and the only problem I have is that you don't post more often. If I had to give a piece of advice it would be to try to incorporate some live commentary as we get to see your live reaction which is always better. I love how you give the full gameplay and not just the PvP. I learned a lot through you and I went from dying to normal ai to running full gold with my trio. Again, love your work and keep it up.
@@red2314 the room you spawned in at 2:18 has a hidden area behind that statue with the hands if you didn't know. It's opened the same way as the ruins statue.
Just my own opinion and I’m only at 11 minutes in but I would have preferred it if you didn’t mention “as you’ll see in a second” like for the rogue near the static or the door closing for the warlock, felt a bit like a spoiler kinda. If you mentioned the “closing the door was a good move” after killing the warlock I would have liked that more. I like all your videos regardless but just personal feedback
I counted 54 strikes to kill the golem. Two swings were close but missed during the kill so you would count 56 if you didn't notice they missed. Looking forward to this series as I am way too trash at the game to play wizard.
I have to say I do prefer live commentary instead of this as it otherwise it mainly feels a bit disconnected from what's happening emotion-wise. I feel it matters more what you thought at the time and you can still give your thoughts about an event shortly after. Completely understand why you need the extra focus but wanted to give my two cents :)
If anyone else has a hard time with the goblin archers. They always aim for the head. I haven't played in a while, but you used to be able to strafe around them on their bow side and crouch, looking down before they shot, and most arrows would just miss
Love and respect, forward-backward is getting you hit a lot by pve. If you incorporate more strafe with your skill maybe not get hit for days 🤷♂️. If A and D key binds aren’t 100% comfy I use Q and E. Love the video idea 😊
Just wanted to say, an hour long video or more does not intimidate! In fact I seem to be drawn towards the longer videos. Great job on the video though, I’m new to dark and darker and you may have just spiked my interest in getting the game! Again amazing video, keep it up
the golden chest in the side room or getting on top of one of the chests in the main room are the only 2 cheese spots ik of that are safe for those minibosses
Fun vid! The voice-over is fine, all I'd say is maybe include some audio from the live. I'd have loved to hear what you were saying in the seconds after that 'unfortunate' moment. xD (a little radio static noise to transition from live/post maybe?)
just got this game today i find it brutal but so fun, i cant pvp for crap yet im level 8 and end up fighting like 60-260 level players haha, but your vids i watched today helped me die alot less to pve
He is playing on high roller; it's quite easy to verify. On normal difficulty, you will see a list of players who died and a timer. Additionally, mobs are at least red, which means they are harder than regular ones. On high roller, those factors are missing and believe me, the loot on normals is much better than in the past.
@@epc2224 And here you are wrong again 😅. In previous seasons, High Roller cost only AP points (in higher ranks, of course), not gold. Before ranks, there was also gold for entries, but that was almost a year ago
i have SO much to learn with this game. my first 10 wizard games i died to like the 2nd or 3nd anything i encountered. i kind of love that it wants to kill you so bad but also like ok if you werent safe-spotting that demonic centaur thing how in the hell does anyone fight that??
Splendid (Will), Radiant (Knowledge), and Watchman (Resourcefulness) cloaks can roll up to 5 on their static attribute. Tattered (Strength), Vigilant (Vigor), and Adventurer (Agility) cloaks can only roll up to 3 on their static attribute. But yeah it’s dumb that the static attributes are random despite the rarity, should 100% scale like other gear.

Please keep making more challenge series content like this, it's super nice to binge watch but most of your videos seem to be one-offs
Loving the content. You say embarrassing clip, but it takes experience to even fix all those errors on the fly! Thanks again for the content!

It took 54 head shots with the crystal sword and 22 were ignited. (I didn't see anyone count it)
I counted 51 although I didnt count some that I thought missed
I counted 55 😂
You are the best dude. Hopped on TH-cam after work specifically looking for a Red zero to hero video to watch, and you bust out this new series

I prefer live commentary but totally get why you went this route. Looking forward to more!
Crafted up a banger, as always. Red longplays are some of my favorite videos to wind down to after a long day in ye olde dungeons 🫡🧙♂️
I really enjoyed the voice over - these longer format videos are really great watches. I’d like to see something like this again!
I dig the voice over. I think it was really well done. Myself I tend to only watch longer content so 30-50 minute installments are perfect!
Bro this series is about to be fire oml
when you are done with the series you should compile them all into one video - "Zero to gold Wizard movie" Id love to see it all in one go too. Great video king.
I love long-form vids. Would prob watch in one sitting.
Love this. Can't wait to see more. You're helping Timmy wizards like me learn how to play
I very much enjoy the super documentary style of post commentary. It's like watching a speedrun explained
I love the idea of this series, honestly the longer the episodes the better 😂
35:58 nice lil speed up to cover the second trap hit in a row haha. Ur really good at the game man I learn so much from watching! Keep it up bro! Much love

I didn't mind the voice over commentary at all! It let you focus on the game and explain your actions, so I thought it was quite cool!
You should make more mini series like these, was thoroughly hooked.
Clean start to a series! Can’t wait to see the next episode.
Best dark and darker content creator
Love this series, cannot wait to binge the rest
Love the vid! Can’t wait till episode 2! Keep up the 🔥 content!
if you crouch and hold the goblin archers left leg(so you would be to his right) you will not get hit by his shot ever, unless it was patched in the last week, if it was just ignore me :) nice video!!! wish ya the best!

I love your zero to hero contents, makes me want to buy the game right tf now lol. One day I will
Been watching you for quite some time and had to come back to this amazing video now that its back on steam, got my friends hooked to the game as well so gonna be binging your vids for tips! Excited for future content!
Counted, and pretty sure it was 52 hits to kill the golem. No idea how they expect us as casters to kill that thing without cheese
Good lord i wish i found this game sooner. This shit is a blast to play. Everything i loved about tarkov mixed with Mordhau and chivalry. Thanks for these videos for real.
Love this type of content my man. Keep it comin!
Love these series, especially with non-barb/rogue/warlock characters
this is series is going to be straight fire, I can't wait for the next video.
Loving this series already Red!
If you can fit it in somewhere later, could you also show a little bit of crafting if the drops allow it for you?
The disaster striking bit had me dying. Boss knocking you onto spikes and invis on the corpse was hysterical
As a Warlock main... it brings me joy watching other classes struggle killing PvE mobs
Great series! Looking forward to Episode 2.
If I'm not mistaken (only counted once too tired to go back lol) it's 55. 1 before the speed up and 54 after. Hits on the golem I mean
I counted 55 aswell
Bro got more purples in 5 minutes than ive seen in 20 hours of gameplay
Was about to comment this, wtaf is going on
@@Moximaxius Highroller, it now needs 225 gear ,score so thats why
Hurry up and add #2 im trynna find out how to get BIS lol. Very cool video man im excited to see the rest!

died a little bit inside each time you opened your inventory and didnt drink the luck pot lol, love ur vids ur the goat
Same, I'm very used to being in duo/trio and saving it for boss since it wears off if you die and get restricted in the same run.
@@red2314 thats actually really smart never thought about that

Also the cloaks that go up to 5 are the will and knowledge cloaks all the other ones have a maximum of 3
And resourcefulness that goes to 5 as well
@@stufff__u right boss
Keep it up man I’m willing to watch all the videos
I think I prefer the live commentary because I never expect when you get into PvP moments. Not dunking on your content though. I still enjoyed it!
49, it took 49 hits to kill the Golem! Great video once again!
If anyone else has a hard time with the goblin archers. They always aim for the head.
I haven't played in a while, but you used to be able to strafe around them on their bow side and crouch, looking down before they shot, and most arrows would just miss
Man the legendary lantern 😔
Dude do you have a Wizard guide? You are ridiculously good.
holy fuck that naked fighter was a jumpscare lol
Supercool, voice over was pretty awesome. Insane gameplay.
Love and respect, forward-backward is getting you hit a lot by pve. If you incorporate more strafe with your skill maybe not get hit for days 🤷♂️. If A and D key binds aren’t 100% comfy I use Q and E. Love the video idea 😊

Bruh just realized the commentary
I watched some of your duos the other day good shit
You do voiceover commentary very well. I counted 52 green crystal sword hits to kill the golem

I counted 56 swings. Jesus the health on that thing!
Nice, i'm trying to decide if i go Wiz or Cleric next wipe. Mostly with a duo who plays Warlock
I’ve always wanted to main wizard but I’m not built like that, so I watch red instead 💀
just got this game today i find it brutal but so fun, i cant pvp for crap yet im level 8 and end up fighting like 60-260 level players haha, but your vids i watched today helped me die alot less to pve
selling those boots at start was criminal
Really appreciate the speed ups!
How did the first run have so many purples and blues? Has the loot in normal dungeons been massively nerfed since when this video was made?

Do you stream?

Keep them coming, Red!
I love watching zero to hero on wiz

Actually found this game because of u if I had a PC I'd be playing the shit outta this
I am excited for this series.
REALLY love the new style. Keep it up, i'm looking forward to the 2nd episode.
More like 50+ crystal sword hits
50+ hits on that golem. That this isn't a tank, it's a whole ass tank platoon
This game look so amazing.
cool video! it's kinda helping me learn too
Wonder if the latern was worth picking up, had triple physical rolls
these are so comfy! more!
Red your zero to hero videos are sooooo lit
more of the voice over commentary, for sure. very informative
Aw yes, I'm keen on this!
Have u been streaming dnd lately or just Val? Just wondering cuz i really try not to miss the dnd streams
