That's how it goes. As much as it hurts, this is why I love roguelikes and why I play with permadeath. Legendary. Thanks.
Same! It was a shame, but it gave me a laugh after all that work!
"I feel like it's about to get interesting..."
Man, I was looking forward to seeing the ending too, bummer. You had it in the bag. I had a feeling this is how it'd end as you were playing on auto-pilot a tad near the end there and this is that kinda game that absolutely slaps you around if you autopilot.
I actually wouldn't mind if you found a way to reload somehow, as indeed this was a bit *too* silly of a death.
It was a very silly death, but I can't reload in classic mode. There's the ALT F4 method but I just don't like using it. I might do next season with a lot of cut content to get us back to this point as quickly as possible
Damage reflection run incoming lol
I did a stream last night where I started it!
@@ww4830 ... called it
I’m here to offer my thanks on your most recent video for all the tutorials. My condolences on the timing. I remember having a gnome monk in ADOM who had found every useful spellbook and almost every broken artifact (I was wearing like 9 of them) only to somehow be two shot by lightning spells in the air temple. I kick mined like 5 levels of dungeon to get the gems to afford those spell books. It’s the journey that matters. And now I’m journeying in COQ with a gunslinger who has horns- so thanks.
You're welcome, good luck with your gunslinger!
I can’t believe you’ve done this!
Was a great run, love the videos!!
Thank you
After making your way through those cursed historic sites with kraken, chrome pyramids, mirror bugs etc it's only fitting you die to a lone salt kraken in the dunes. Rough way to go but so goes Qud. Loved this season thanks for the uploads!
Krakens Revenge.
Thirty hours well spent.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it
Yes, every instance of Mumble Mouth gets checked every time it enters a screen it hasn't been to before, so running through the desert vertically is the fastest way to get secrets. Totally safe, too. I mean, what are the odds that you'll run straight into a kraken's mouth as soon as you enter a new screen?
Oh no, I didn't know they removed Graftek...
Yeah the Graftek was too easy to cheese apparently. I miss it!
I was running a character using the gigantism defect mod, had found a gigantic pump shotgun at level 10ish resolving his one biggest weakness even if not in the best way(took carapace, horn, burrowing claws, multi-arm to cover armor and weaponry as best I could). At level 20 I went to one of the furthest east historic sites was fighting a ton of king crab legendaries and all their spawn, floor two I'm absolutely swarmed....and a star kraken starts nomming it's way towards me. I desperately tried to fight my way free to run to the stairs but I just couldn't get through the crabs fast enough. At the last second I turned and hoped I could daze-stun the kraken with natural fists...alas, it was not to be. My flurry did in fact manage to stun, but it didn't stop the red zone and I got nommed the next round. That one is pretty much all on me.
that salt kraken probably had gas
Valeu!
Thank you so much!
Awesome end to a fantastic series! That is CoQ!!!
Looking forward to the next run.
Thanks for the series, it has been amazing. Cheers
Thank you mate!
lol random salt craken.
Epic run, what an end!
You actually had Tilli offering a Zetachrome warhammer in a much earlier episode. I was floored you didn't try to buy it at the time.
OMG- the exact same thing happened to me a week ago. My condolences.
Ouch I could feel how much that one hurt.
Sorry it went down that way my friend. The title definitely spoiled the surprise though, should have left it ambiguous so the gut punch would have been much worse for us viewers haha!
What a tragic way to go. And the kraken was literally almost crossing off the bottom of the entire map! Jeeze.
Bep will tell tales of Kavach. "Right about the time that one went missin' he kept stopping back in looking withered and covered in mumbling fungi. Took a few skins then headed straight back out sayin' he's lookin' for the 'Burrower'. Think some madness took the poor fella."
There are tales that those consumed by the salt kraken may re-emerge at a later date. Changed, somehow...
Ooooohhhhh...👀@@Rogue_Rat
What a shame. I gotta say when my best character so far died on a very stupid way I just gave up on Classic and changed to Roleplay.
Ew
I think that’s wise. If you’re not getting joy from it, what’s the point.
Bummer, he was one of the good ones
Literally my strongest character in 1000 hours
Great run. Thanks!
Nooooooo! W t f. So terrible to end like that.
big F, man. at least it wasnt:
- sneak into the moon stair to static reroll your skills for easy tinker 3 at level 15
- zero jell psionically cleaves and someone doesn't onetap you
- run to an adjacent mountain tile to heal
- lvl 1 seeker rolls you with sunder because your MA sucks
I was tourettes' guy levels of pissed
Oooof that's a hell of a sequence of events
Condolences
That is brutal..
I can't watch the rest of the series currently, because I want to explore the other endgame stuff myself. but I saw the video title and had to check it out - what a bummer
Edit: You may have accidentally left a bunch of footage at the end there (unless that was intentional)
Intentional to not spoil the moment I assume. Good call too.
It was intentional, to make the video look longer
i have no words. sorry bud
this reminds me of the time i was soloing a star kraken and i had a freeze ray, it was all fine until the one turn i accidentally skipped the freeze part of the strategy :)
Yeah it was my own dumb fault. People want me to altf4 but I don't like save scumming in roguelikes!
@@Rogue_Rat very honorable sire
What are the odds that your path was lined up perfectly to go barreling straight into that thing... Jeez man...
I saw it for the first time a few weeks back. Immediately went the opposite direction... Whole lotta nope.
I know, I actually can't believe it.
Big oof! That is rough. I lost my best character so far in a similar way. Goddamn Krakens are soul-crushers. :(
nah??? we didn't even see the new things 😢😢😢😢😢
I know :( We don't save scum here though, even if it's my own dumb fault!
Shameful confession: I alt f4'd in QoC. I am truly sorry. Shame me, fam.
Kid named Whole 😏😏😏
ffs
I read the comments before watching. Since you were recently tangling with big baddies at historic sites, I presumed that was how you met your demise... not by a surface dune worm 😭
Shai'Hulud would never
Watching your series gave me the inspiration to learn Qud finally and actually make it to the endgame! Have you ever heard of a game called Tales of Maj'Eyal? Would like to see you have a go at that sometime in the future, cheers
Yes, I love ToME! Excellent fantasy roguelike!
Spoilers lol. Someone got caught keyboard mashing. It's always when you feel safest.
@@demonolithic your dad qoc slapped me 🥰
Hilarious!
Just finished watching the prior videos, and i want to give thanks to you for making this series super helpful for teaching new players all sorts of stuff! Ive recently gotten into Qud, playing a True Kin using some of the cudgel guidance and general advice from this series, and i finally got to beat Golgotha for the first time!! Even managed tk make the risky trek to Yd Freehold for future trading.
Do you have any advice for good ways to prep for Bethesda Susa? Currently im not too great at range, and so im worried about the 3 boss battles on the way down.
It might be worth mentioning, I *did* luck out and got ahold of some Crysteel armor and a Crysteel mace. Hoping to get 2 mauls cuz I found a Giant Hands implant!
Glad to hear it! For Susa you need some cold resist, and some blaze injectors to counter enemies that freeze you. Take your time, always have a way out behind you!
Brother, I can't tell you how many times a stupid salt kraken got me to a misclick. Rough.
not like this. who up saltin' they kraken
It might help your content appeal to an international audience if you could pronounce the /t/ phoneme instead of replacing it with a glottal stop. (e.g. watter = waht-tur instead of wo'-'uh).
4:53 - Oh hey you actually did it! 👍Evidence the lack of a /t/ phoneme is not an intrinsic part of your dialect, but simply a habit of mumbling popular in your region? 😉
I'm British. The glottal stop is how I speak! I don't think adding the T will make my videos more appealing to international viewers haha :)
No, Im sorry absolute BS, reload a backup. Thats the problem with one shot mechanics. It's not even challenging, it's the devs being lazy
yah pls do
Ummmm.... alt f4 bros??
@@ilikemitchhedberg yup, if there was ever a reason to alt f4, this was it. I really wanted to see the final bosses, the full ending... this might be the most unsatisfying ending to a series... maybe ever?
Watch the last season of Seinfeld
@@Rogue_Ratno soup for you 😭
