I think those weather vanes in the castle and mines have Taunt, essentially. You can't target anything other than them. They also seem to take double damage from horizontally thrown orbs, and half from vertically attacking orbs like Ball Lightning. They're there to prevent you from sniping the other enemies present, but they generally don't do much unless you're running an Orbelisk only build or something.
Honestly, Tom did surprisingly well considering the complete lack of bosses on the first stage. But god, picking that bell when he never reloads, that just hurt my soul.
@@mikef5951 yeah, orborborbos as only rob + dumbbell is a good strat. You just discard orb repeatedly for a turn or two for big damage up. Combos with damage immunity while reloading to be genuinely broken.
And Tom has shown the power of the Orboros. Unless one can get the Overwhammer, I personally prefer the Poltorbgeist, just hitting all enemies makes things nice.
The Orboros is actually just a massive trap. Even with a discard, you're still going to be throwing it away except for a handful of single target enemies. It's best use is getting rid of stones for you. It's like a better knife, that's all it is really.
26:50 Lightning rod thingy will force you to target it instead of aiming for something else. It only affects orb that can freely choose target like Lightning orb or Orbelisk, most of normal orbs can't shoot the lightning rod in the back anyway and will target the closest enemy like normal. It also have damage resistance if it get hit from above(but also takes more damage from horizontal attack). Not entirely sure if it gives off some kind of buffs or debuff though.
On the little bomb puzzle paths like the one at 2:08, you only need to detonate the same _NUMBER_ of bombs on that screen. I found that out after having the magnet and turning a couple pegs into bombs and accidentally completing it. Love this game!
Lol right? Gotta admire his ability to be presented with 3 options and reliably laser focus in on the absolute worst one for his build. Great series tho
Yeah seriously.. "Oooh this gives 1.3x to crits" *picks the one that gives +1/+1 on fucking reload (which he hardly ever does more than once per battle)
I feel so bad because the special relic that cuts your health and gives you constant health regain on pegs hit is so overwhelmingly good. It would have been so good to see how well it worked with this build.
He would have survived the end boss with it. I am not sure he would have made it there though. That 2nd to last fight went so poorly with half his hp he might not have won, I'm not going to re-watch it and count pegs and hp, but it definitely would have been close.
The weather vein things prevent you from selecting different enemies. It forces you to target them, so things like the ball lightening or orbelisk have to hit them.
I'm pretty sure I've seen it work in one of the videos. He's right that some maps have the perfect setup to bounce against the wall over and over. I personally don't think it's common enough to care about but it does happen.
Finally, I've been waiting for the next peglin vid! Tom you bring this game to life (especially pleading to bouldorb to spare you it's "kindness"). Hurts tries but he just complains the whole time in a more negative way.
Yeah, Every time I see that upside down world boss I just get upset; they need to nerf its HP or get rid of 2 black holes (or make them smaller). they map gets shrunk too much without enough pegs and then the mixed gravity... I actually hate it everything else seems decent and/or fair, but that is too different and should be a world five like thing, especially how it basically nerfs the boulder completely and has so few pegs that the heal only has like half its merit - Hope they fix it at the very least.
I like how the gravity is centered almost exactly in middle- gives it that upside-down feeling. But yeah he hits pretty hard, moves at bat-speed, and has a lot of health. I think they should keep the gimicky sucky map but nerf something else of his or maybe he takes 2 turns to swing like the minotaur (idk maybe he gets dizzy and stumbles back after an attack(
@@DoABarrelRol1l Agreed, it is just too tilted in the feels bad zone. I get what you mean about the gravity part bit it is too imbalanced; i think the best way to put it would be that they need to have at least one factor or gimmick in the player's favour. It comes off more as a punishment without an appropriate payoff.
@@Magmafrost13 It's just something you have to take into consideration when playing, every build has strengths and weaknesses, try to pick things that cover your weaknesses instead of just focusing on your strengths.
The upside down mini boss definitely needs work. I think getting rid of the holes at the bottom and adding some super bouncy thing to get it to go up would help. It always feel bad to play that map, at least they nerfed his damage, he used to hit for 20. I love the build, though not taking the -50 max hp, heal on bounces relic was a huge mistake that cost you the run.
I killed the mine boss in one shot the other day and was disproportionately excited about it. In fairness it was only the second time I’d made it that far. Crazy poltorbgeist synergies. This game is so fun!
Had a great run yesterday with the orberos, the relic that does 20 damage to everything each reload (multiplied by the number of reloads) plus the 6 healing every reload relic. Could basically just spam the trash button most fights.
It's proof my sense of humor has vanished, becuase at 2:09 I genuinely could not stop laughing at the sound of Tom's scroll wheel. For whatever reason, that shit just tickled me.
I do love the Peglin videos and the great drama that comes with them :) Finally saw so many videos that I went and bought me a copy of it and noticed there was a bundle with another game called Roundguard and I've been playing that as well. It's got the bouncing peglin/peggle game play but you can have different classes and you have health instead of a set number balls to use. It's been a blast and it has the same kind of rogue-lite stuff that Peglin has with artifacts and trinkets that affect game play as well as skills you can use and armor and weapons. there's a map you go through as well and what seems like quite a few different kinds of bosses. I'd love to see you play it at some point unless you are tiered of the bouncing peg-based games :D
I have seen some extremely bad plays online, but Tom is the most consistent person I have ever seen in making the absolutely worst possible decisions. Not sure if this is a good or a bad thing.
One orb I don't think I've seen Tom use is splatorb, and I honestly think it's one of the best in the game, definitely in my top 3. It makes pegs durable and bouncy, greatly increasing how many bounces you get after that
Tom sleeps on the three best relics in the game (suffering, the gem that halves your health, and the golden fleece) in a single run. Meanwhile most of my runs the game wont even give me one of them.
Would be a completely different story if he had Overwhammer. Halfway through this video I also did a crazy run and needed (and never got) Overwhammer too :(
its really cute to me that tom refers to his orbs as if theyre party members, even uses they/them pronouns for healorb i dunno why, i just find it cute
Daily reminder that Tom is an amazing person and to thank him for all he has done/will do - Day 931 I agree, love how the Worm is, such a good boy :D The Orberos is a really fun one :D love to see it
You should try out the Meteorite Tom, it is way better then it sounds, especially with a rubber orb bouncy ball whatever its called, the one that is extra bouncy
the weather veins just attract you targeting, to my understanding. You know like with orbelisk, you can pick a certain guy? They just say NOPE kill us first
Maybe those standing rods fuck with your aiming?? Just noticed in the bomblins and rods fight how you aimed at the bomblin and then the aim moved to the rod
So Tom you gonna play the Starship troopers game? please? Come on Ape, do you wanna live forever? Or another quote from the movie. I literally rewatched it today but have forgotten the best quotes already. I need you to cement them for me.
Managed to finish cruciball lvl 2 so far. I feel like the devs need to widely buff up relics - looking at you grabby hand (or whatever it's called) - and really dial down on the nerfing - looking at my massacred boy electropegnet. They managed to implement more challenging stages - personally i hate them, especially the one at 43:44 and upside down man is still bs - but they have failed to compensate for it so far, in the form of buffs imo.
yeah flat damage is good, but magnetism exponentially increases the amount of pegs you can hit severely increasing you damage compare to the flat upgrade. just saying
I love Tom but watching him play Peglin is excruciating but I guess I am a masochist cause I'm not gonna stop. I love this game so much. Always loved Pachinko style games but this one has got to be the best one yet. IMHO.

Since tom never targets his shots, he obviously hasn`t noticed jet ;D
Yup, pretty much this
Its magic damage vs physical damage for the half damage vs double.
@@TheRadioactiv3man Are you saying he's an Anti-Vaxxer bc he doesn't get his shots? ;) Just playing. :)
Damage depends of it's color i think. Brown ones has 2x horizontal 1/2 vertical. Grey ones are opposite
Honestly, Tom did surprisingly well considering the complete lack of bosses on the first stage. But god, picking that bell when he never reloads, that just hurt my soul.
More likely to find additional ways to crit than to find that book.
@@walker1054 Keeping the skip with the Orboros especially because its like skipping 5 orbs

Peglin is legit your best series! My eyes just light up whenever I see you’ve uploaded a new Peglin video!
"this can be good with reloading"
later: "I don't care about reloading"
26:49 the wind vane enemies basically taunt. you can't specifically target any other enemies when one is present
Hah! I didn't realize they were wind vanes until I read this. I just assumed they were lightning rods since they taunt any directed attack.
@@panda93247 That and the damage reduction to lightning ball attacks!
It's always a roller-coaster of emotion, and frankly I'm glad to be along for the ride. Love some Peglin!

My poor Tom. Why do you choose the wrong relics for your build, my dude?
Love watching these.

I never loose when I get that, you stay at max health almost permanently its SOOO OP

I love peglin so dam much, please keep it up. Maybe play it with Ben? Or is that a stretch?
That diamond board in the mines is the absolute worst. This was a fun build that just ran into a little bad luck
Bouldorb gets revenge for all the times he hasn't gotten to kill you!
2:51 I will always love Star Wars edits. They're some of the best edits.

@@Loreroth it’s why I said in a video. I know he plays a lot on his own and on stream.
@@IcepersonYT Bit of a weird thing to point out then isnt it? 😂
Giving my soul over wholly to The Oroboros is always my favorite-especially early on.
Doubly so with the Durable relic.

There's a lot of annoying things about that map, but the fact that two orbs (boldorb and orbsium) are literally unusable in it is IMO unforgivable

you should try a mega-satchel build - next time the duplicate all orbs option comes up. the more random orbs you have, the more fun !!
if they made Tom into an orb, he'd be the Angorb
I love how Tom got the envy relic, and immediately forgot about it.
I love when you play Peglin! Keep it up!
Just found out bout this channel cuz I'm interested in peglin, and I'm not disappointed
Upside-Down Man and Cornelius from Dicey Dungeons probably hang out~
the weathervanes have taunt, they don't attack but you cant target anything else when they're on the board
Always happy to see a new Peglin vid from Tom. How will he sabotage his build this time?

34:26 OH NO 2 DAMAGE! QUICK DEPLOY THE MULTIBALL DOCTORB!
I can't believe peglin used to not have a speedup button. This is impractically slow.
The weathervane looking things have a taunt effect.
powerglove made that Orberos very nice
Imagine having multiball so you hit more pegs AND a relic that damages enemies when you heal and NOT taking the relic that heals you for hitting pegs.
Would be a completely different story if he had Overwhammer. Halfway through this video I also did a crazy run and needed (and never got) Overwhammer too :(
Pegs, Tom, Gobbos. Let's go
I can see why tom always avoids the random events he always doesn't want whah they have.
The weather veins stop you from targeting other enemies by forcing you to aim at them
Absolutely love peglin content !!
its really cute to me that tom refers to his orbs as if theyre party members, even uses they/them pronouns for healorb
i dunno why, i just find it cute
Doctorb: non binary icon!
I love that Bouldorb especially has become their own character in Tom's narration

just wait till you get to cruciball level 5, tom. you get less crits and refreshes
In bouldorb we trust
Taking the half health for a healing relic is the best move late game. Those bosses can't do anything to kill you
it also combos with his relic that healing causes the enemy to take 3x that damage, so as long as you aren't full, it heals 1 and deals 4.

can anyone lead me to the video of beating the giant crossbow boss. 30 hp per hit crippled me at the end
Love me some Peglin
I think you would have one if you had been able to discard orbs.
Or if he took the healing relic that halves your health
Heck upsidedown boy
