First things first GREAT JOB! Best anti spider out there is Proximity or ethereal spike traps. Spikes do more damage and can stun some enemies but have a slower reset and are lightning elemental vs Proxy physical damage so SD aura or darkness are needed to strip affinity. Sadly Spiders are Immune to gas traps even if stripped. As for additional Possible to clear ruthless challenges or levels Unlikely Allies MAY be doable. It felt quite easy when I ran it with two other players. Granted 3 of us versus solo and with higher stats than yours's and we know the challenge very well BUT it felt like not that bad of scaling so that one MAY be possible. The hardest part of that challenge on ANY difficulty is the Ogre you protect. He behaved himself and stayed out of harms way but sometimes he just plows on into waves of enemies witch is a death sentence for him. There are some very well known strategies to make unlikely allies much easier as well but my best tip is give that one a shot on your own and let your creativity shine! ABSOLUTE YOU WILL DIE! Ruthless challenges barring Jester cheap shots of course include the following. Death from above,Wizardry (10million+ HP skeleton spam) Ogre crush is just crazy hard. Raining Goblins was a bit of a brutal experience. Not as bad as many others but still probably stat walled. Zippy terror is Zippy terror IF you haven't done that one yet try it on a lower difficulty and judge for yourself what you think of the challenge. Of course the YOU WILL DIE list I gave is perfect to work your way up to. GOOD LUCK AND AS ALWAYS HAVE FUN!
Don't underestimate the turtle stance on barbarian, not only does it *drastically* reduce the amount of damage you take, it also makes you immune to being webbed. Plus you're practically invincible with turtle + siphon. In fact I very rarely use siphon outside of turtle since it makes you take triple damage. Just be aware that using tornado or turtle stance while the other is already active will cancel the previously active one.
Man, YT recommend me this video cuz I am watching this series videos from a year ago. I am at ep 55. Surprise me that you are still updating this series. What a gamer. I recently come back to DD. I am having fun while playing your video on the side during my gameplay. Thank you for the hard work!!
10:02 everything is really tanky on ruthless, plus lightning towers don’t have MUCH DPS as a base line, with buff beams and builder bonus plus upgrades those things start to SHRED
15:38 sound stopped here for some reason 18:30 starts up again here, huge chunk of the video is completely silent, i guess you accidentally muted yourself?
I havent watched all yet but for example between around 6:50 and 7:00 why are you not utilizing the very strong monk tower boost ability? Its one of the most powerfull skills for your towers. Maybe im missing out on something though haha. Have a good day :)
@clobzz nice! That's how I've played it for years, I did need help on the Christmas map when I first did it (not enough dps) the difficulty spikes up pretty significantly a few times but it's so rewarding to take maps down solo
@clobzz wowzers, you're quite a bit ahead of me on everything, pahaha, there are a ton of maps I cant do yet before I can take on CR maps, I've been being lazy about finishing regular CD on NM mode, lastly died because didn't know what to expect from the boss wave xD
@@Retro_Pat same exact reason, i remember seeing barb and buying it instantly before i had touched dd1 yet. Since then i realised you cant only play barb haha
37:08 hold down right and left click at the same time it automatically fires your staff at the most optimal charge possible

it seems like some maps werent properly balanced on ruth lol, they just seems to have the same if not slightly higher scaling than nightmare
That is my guess
25:35 i believe the meme was " magic missle " lmao :D
GGs, Pat. Good job on clearing it! And not giving up!

Wild how the drops at the end of the map were a few mythicals and worse xD

OH NOOO 😭 I have no idea what happened there tbh, TYSM FOR THE TIME STAMPS CLOBZZ
LEGEND!
I thought my audio stopped working. xD
Ruthless is difficult pretty much no matter your lvl or gear especially on maps like the lost shard dlc
I havent watched all yet but for example between around 6:50 and 7:00 why are you not utilizing the very strong monk tower boost ability? Its one of the most powerfull skills for your towers. Maybe im missing out on something though haha. Have a good day :)
I probably should use it more!
Might make it too easy, haha
New to your videos, i saw your nmhcmm mistymire video first, do you ever play with others? Or is this a solo adventure?
@@sheezibreezy7059 100% solo
@clobzz nice! That's how I've played it for years, I did need help on the Christmas map when I first did it (not enough dps) the difficulty spikes up pretty significantly a few times but it's so rewarding to take maps down solo
@@sheezibreezy7059 very very true, i recently did cr3 again but on my own in order to unlock great old one, and took him down on my own too

Any chance you've made a discord for your DD community or anything like that?
Can you show off the gloves?
why are you not using buff beams?
buff beams increase aura size, so you could be using a lot less auras and have them + lightning towers buffed with 1 buff beam
also hermit towers have something similar-ish to app lightning towers, the spore tower that's an aoe poison damage tower
4:45 why did you use barb hero here I heard the class is really bad for a dps?
1. because he can
2. its not bad, its just that in this case it is because his isnt properly set up nor is he using it in the way it works best
i just like barb c:

@@harunkutuk6927 this game is meant to be played with a team of characters, no one character, hell, even two can solo this game, you need many
@@Retro_Pat based
