Hey everyone. Today we are attempting the Purple stake in Balatro. As you might know, the stakes stack with each other so the higher difficulties are even more annoying. Let's see how we get on. Anyways if you like the video, like the video! Also subscribe if you want to see more Balatro. Enjoy the rest of the video!

You're a God send XD

[@xxacidmv]

This is the intro we crave. Thank you

[@Novagenesis]

What an epic start with two of those prisoner jokers and how they synergize together... just to find the one blind that kills them.

[@user-on3db8ig3l]

That interaction was brutal 😅

[@blazingfrypan415]

Credit card is so good if you get the spectral card that resets your money to 0 for a random joker infinite debt back to 0

[@BigMikeyT730]

Combine that with the legendary joker that gives you a negative copy of a consumable every round to keep duping the spectral. I did something similar the one time I got that jokee.

[@CocoTheTortie]

No intro... We're back to the dark days folks 😢

[@Theblindingofissac]

So sad

[@JosiahBradley]

It's a new video difficulty.

he hates us. he hates us lowly youtube watchers 😞

[@seethedeo]

Wow throwback, I haven't heard about Forbidden Memories in years. That game was so unfairly difficult iirc.

[@jacklorenz4274]

I’ve been grinding on checkered deck because I’ve been using flushes as a crutch.

[@Forlo12]

Is it a crutch, or a strat? 🤔

[@nonipplenate]

@@Forlo12 a crutch

[@chrischickering1959]

Checkered deck is good but flushes is kind of limiting sometimes. I really like the ghost deck

[@alexsiemers7898]

Flushes are just easier to go for since there’s 13 cards to work with in a flush but only 4 of a given number/face for pair/three/four of a kind

[@Atlant0]

wow, nice sweep of orange and purple chip stakes. it took me a while to progress through them

[@UberDragon99]

Dude the lack of overwriting face cards during the orange chip run had me on edge the entire time

[@thespleenenator]

It took me 5 hours to blast through all the difficulties until gold. Gold took me over 20 hours. God speed for your runs ahead, you'll need the luck lol.

[@weewoomasterlol]

what is gold?

[@thespleenenator]

@@weewoomasterlol Gold Stake, the last difficulty after purple and orange that scootie is playing here. You get -1 hand size as well as the other debuffs.

[@user-on3db8ig3l]

Is there a deck unlock tied to Gold?

[@Jeremiah_Anti-Fantst]

I need to know how you’re this good at Balatro, I’ve tried so much but I’m not that good.

[@JosiahBradley]

The time bars between the two runs oh my.

[@kulatoid]

I just beat this difficulty with midas joker and vampire and the joker that makes all your cards count as face cards. it went nutty fast, my xmult was scaling faster than the ante

[@weewoomasterlol]

Faceattorney is the type A chatter to end all type A chatters.

[@Faewild]

Dude was allergic to playing aces with bus!

[@maiky129]

Not buying the discount voucher on the last run physically hurt

[@placeholderblankspace]

Those were some of the strongest Judgment pulls ever wtf

[@stewie410]

I've been hard stuck on red deck purple stake for like a week, just passed it tonight -- these higher stakes are _rough_ for the basic decks...though I think Green & Plasma (or whatever) will be _much_ easier.

[@Vindarr]

Gold has my balls in a vice. Can't get passed the last boss

[@seaoftra]

you can buy planet and tarrot cards from shop without using and just sell

[@calebwatson779]

I'm on the one above purple right now, shit is so fucking hard

[@Cat-nr2jm]

I just beat orange and the one after that seems awful so I haven’t tried it yet

[@bigiron8572]

I'm at gold and its like trying to beat your head against a wall bc most runs die before you can even get a good joker

[@calebwatson779]

@@bigiron8572 how I feel at Orange. Had one that I lost on ante 8 boss blind to some really dumb card luck

[@Cat-nr2jm]

@@bigiron8572 what’s your favorite deck for the stakes?

[@lkop6750]

what is the last difficulty and what does it do?

[@sephiroth7655]

Gold. -1 hand size. Orange was already way too difficult imho even with checkered deck . Took me getting insanely lucky. not looking forward to gold.

[@joofbing]

Trying to beat Blue Stake right now 😒

[@meep2k]

i got a legendary joker on my first run of 1.0

[@Franklin_Johanessan]

Can you go into debt in Balatro? 13:25
Edit: nevermind, it was the credit card joker

[@meep2k]

why isn't he buy-selling the consumable cards since they're cheaper than jokers?

[@michaelboehme7964]

Aren't you able to buy planet and tarot cards when they're offered in the shop without immediately using them? Skootie kept re-rolling over cheap buy sells

[@JustYourAverageRetro]

Oh no, he doesn't know that campfire works with tarrots and planets 😣
