Well, if you continue this trend, then I guess that Hong Lu will get "Those who are Faithful and Trustworthy", Ryoshu will have "Courage to Protect" while Mersault will have Tipherehts extremely appropriate "The Expectation for the Meaning of Existence"...
Dons announcer that came with this canto has some funny lines which reveals that now that her bloodfiend instincts are back she also has regained her revulsion to water, meaning it was very lucky that she didnt wake up during canto 5 and that fear of water will probably become a re-occuring trait in the future.
Yeah, the implication is that with the first Don Quixote's death, Rocinante's ability to suppress Sancho's nature as a Bloodfiend has weakened significantly. I imagine they'll probably elaborate on that in the upcoming Intravello.
@@Birthday888I think since Sancho awakened her memories without getting her shoes taken off that ended up messing with Rocinante and making it stop working
It was the waters of oblivion that suppressed her blood fiend urges. The shoes suppressed her abilities and hid her red eyes. So rocinante still works it's just lethe is no longer suppressing her other bloodfiend urges such as her fear of water.
1:28:42 It's very, very funny you say that. Seeing as Bari's first ever appearance in the franchise was as "Bookhunter" in Angela's Bad Ending. Same hairstyle, same hair color, and most notably (and this got people losing their shit in part 2 when people saw Sinclair carrying it) that same cloth-wrapped odachi with the golden string and ring hanging from it. I feel we'll be seeing plenty more of Bari. She's clearly rather significant, to play a role in the affairs of a Bloodfiend family of P Corp. 200 years ago, continue to aid its wayward daughter 200 years later, and be the only one capable of slaying "The Pale Librarian of Death" in Angela's bad timeline. She even references Canto V and VI in two of her stories in an on the nose way that feels like it simply CAN'T be a conincidence. Demian's been teasing us with making us question the greater "setting" of the Project Moon universe, of Stars and the world beyond. Bari feels like she may one day be our guide to the world.
The only thing that I'm stumped about is how in all of hells did she survive for 200 years. Is it the river that Hong Lu's sister was looking for? anti aging tech? or she's abnormal like Damian's crew is? I hope we'll get some answers
@@einsteinpl1959 Considering Bari's apparent significance (she's literally the only person that was capable of besting Angela and her Abnormalities, and even 200 years ago she was able to 1v1 a First Kindred while holding back) and her ability to seemingly just... Open doors to wherever, I think it's evident that Bari's probably not a normal person. She's definitely not a distortion, but she seems to have some kind of powers unrelated to the Light of L Corp. I imagine she may be a kind of walking Singularity, similar to Argalia and Angelica, or Iori. Albeit with less unethical human experimentation.
I think you missed Faust's yapping. Rocinante suppresses all bloodfiend characteristics EXCEPT the blood craving. The thing that makes Don not crave blood is her pursuit of her dream. Remember, blood is akin to emotions for a bloodfiend. It's something that gives them happiness. Not something they need to actually survive. Being delusional like Don was is actually a plus for bloodfiends. She subsisted on her dreams of adventure for who knows how many years confined in a single building.
@@MasterP86 And she didn't realize she was a bloodfiend in the WARP train? Dad Quixote also barely had any want for blood considering he only had -10 to his effective level from blood deprivation. Dad Quixote kept hoping and dreaming for Sancho all that time until she returned.
I wasn't sure how well the 'No Cavernous Wailing/Yurodivye Hong Lu' tremor team was going to do against all the sloth-resistant enemies in the dungeon, but you certainly pulled it off! Well done!
Difficulty in this game often depends on how good of a team you have, and I don't think PM will ever change that fact due to the nature of gacha. And in the game where getting stuff is also easy, you can easily get through most content (compared to Ruina) just by having a good team, which you already should have by canto 5. What I'm saying is, your choice to do gimmick teams without much setup is a good one, since that way the combat is more fun.
1:12:00 In the Illiad, Outis/Odysseus was the one who came up with the Trojan horse, which led to the destruction of Troy. Presumably her paranoia here comes from having seen how much damage an infiltrator can cause.
The trojan war also resulted in the complete extermination of the people of troy, which is probably why Outis asks, "Would you still accept us if we were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people"
That part where Don Quixote the First says, "I have conceived an idea most ingenious" for the last time, whilst looking so bruised and withered, but still smiling. That hits so hard every time.
Holy fuck you were not kidding when you said you would like to finish Canto 7 before the end of the year lmao GALLOP ON TOGETHER 😭😭 the symbolism of the big ass white moon in the background of the fuel after DQ mentioned Bari not being there This canto ripped me to shreds. There's parts I think were a bit weak like the side character Fixers, but the tragedy of the Bloodfiends, Don Quixote being a genuinely tragic villain as well as him being the father figure of one of our Sinners is painful but also really good This Canto was just Don's VA flexing her voice acting skills at us
The Bari/Don Quixote fight and it's leadup (honestly the entire story cutscene) is one of my favorite moments in any PM game so far. So good. I adore both of them so much :')
Seven hours of Limbus greeting me is quite fun, hehe. Canto 7 is... my personal favourite Canto, just narrowly surpassing Canto 6 for me. It's a story of unrestrained hope, of people chasing after far-off dreams, of challenging the cruel and uncaring world by staying true to that hope. That, after a good handful of years where I was simply pessimistic and hopeless, has been perhaps one of the most touching stories I've had the luxury of bearing witness to. Also, I feel it bears mentioning, good job on La Manchaland's Don Quixote. He is an infamously difficult fight in normal encounters, and while trivialized in a solo, is supremely tough when you tackle it normally. No nerfs were levied after the release of the Canto either, so hold your head high, because you beat this quite nicely. Nice work, Manager Esquire. Happy new year, I hope your liver survived the... unholy amount of alcohol you consumed.
This is in no way a brag, but after a couple failed attempts i tried the final boss fight with Cinq Don solo, thinking "she has good clash values and an evade, let's see how it goes..." And dear Lord it is so horribly one-sided. Having access to a solid evade skill, as well as ridiculous clash values very much trivializes the entire fight and boils it down to using the evade on correct skills to dodge unbreakable coins. It's ridiculous. Thanks for the long-form video, helped kill time during my early morning shift on the first, nice start to the year so far.
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to get through this dungeon and get it out for the new year! It took me a few days to get through both videos, but I was for sure watching the first part as 2025 hit. As someone who normally prefers longer videos, seeing these two was such a treat but also completely understandable that sitting around playing Limbus and recording for long stretches of a time can be taxing. So thank you again for this!
46:40 One thing I will say about the 3 days of fighting situation. In PM people will say 'Oh this person can bend the floor of an oil platform made of steel in a single swing, they've got to be really powerful' but I frankly disagree with many of those notions. A lot of the city's technology has been to make people more durable, harder to kill, take K Corp for example. With any arms race weapons will be made to counter the protective measures of the time; however, the head keeps these measures in check almost nonsensically. We see more than once people being run through on a pike taking days to bleed out, people bloodied from head to toe still able to stand and fight. The city's tech almost seems to want to elongate suffering as much as it can, so fighting for three days straight? Sounds like light work, most weapons from our world's dark ages were made to be used for battles that could take hours. This is why people like the Red Mist were the exception they could end fights in an instant despite the circumstances. I could get into how this is showcased in gameplay in certain ways as well, but this comment is already a paragraph for a technically 7-hour video.
Oh but one other thing, the oh you've never had a reason to exist have you? line, yeah bloodfiends are technically a form of abno, and while not all abnos have a reason to exist, they all have a will to presist but that's nothing earth-shattering that hasn't be conceived of before
"I should not have done this. It's been 5 hours already! This was a mistake!" (Hasn't even started the final fight) You poor soul. I did Canto 7 Part 3 on release at 8PM, and it took me until roughly 1-2AM to beat it, maybe pushing 3AM. That final fight alone took 2-3 of those hours. I was so dead to the world when I had to go to work that morning. I echo your sentiment; I should not have done this, this was a mistake. When I played Canto 7, my team composition idea was that I would use Fixer ID's, focusing on Cinq. That left me with a few Sevens, two Liu, a few Zwei, and I think MultiCrack Heath. Then the idea was that we would get Bloodfiend Identities which I would swap into once we got to Don Quixote awakening as one. But we only got the Barber ID by that point, so I only had one Bloodfiend. It felt fitting using Fixers in Don's Canto. I'd like to give a shoutout to Zwei Gregor. Zwei Gregor might have become one of my personal top ID's because of how he absolutely refused to buckle in that final fight and did a beautiful job being our shield. Clashing, tanking hits, he did phenomenally. He carried that fight hard, alongside Don's Fluid Sack sapping 20 Sanity On Hit. We just barely pulled through, and I credit those two for winning us the fight. Edit: Oh yeah, and Hero's pretty good. At least I really liked it. I will never tire of the "Excitement that I feel, excitement that I feel, return them to the shelf cause now I understand, heroes cannot be real, heroes cannot be real" part. It helped hammer in the moment for me. And it made using a bunch of Fixer ID's feel even more satisfying and relevant.
apologizing for a good time? Nah, more like thank you for giving us 7 hours long video. This was my most anticipated video series I was waiting for from you and my god I watched it all in one sitting, it was enjoyable through it all. And you managed to actually finish the dungeon playing a legitimate team formation, holy heck. I actually struggled and had to do the cheese, I just don't have the patient to deal with final boss Don Quixote the intended way. Well played to you
I’m not sure if you have noticed during Don Quixote fight he only got -10 offense level from Thirst while most of his nerfing is from the golden bough and he was lv 90
I like how foreman keeps saying "the fragile will help us next turn" when using lccb ish's S3 despite the fragile being same-turn and fragile expires at turn end regardless of amount
Congrats on finishing canto 7! honest to say an hour long limbus video never felt enough for me so these lengthy videos is like a new year treat, thank you! For the last fight I used rupture team then got completely obliterated (probably because the fight was around 1 AM, already tired from mid-boss fights or maybe just bad at reading) I then switch the team so I could cheesed him with cinq don solo. it makes the fight much easier but the victory never feel victorious. watching your fights makes me want to challenge the dungeon for real this time. Happy new year Foreman!
huh weird interaction at 2:03:08 Heathcliff dieing of bleed middle of clash stopped the big AOE attack from going off... interesting that happened even though the other targets are still alive, could be a neat strategy to use if anyone does the dungeon again and has someone doomed to die to bleed

3:10:15 Outis was actually afraid Don would start eating the fuel for the bus. Now that she's awakened her blood fiend instincs. Hope you like getting less enkephalin!
Astounding work, and happy new year, Foreman~ This Canto was definitely amazing. I'm honestly just speechless about it all. I can't wait to see your post-canto tierlist.
foreman after chapter 6: "oh, no way PM can top that, I bet the next canto will be worse just cuz you can't go above how good canto 6 was" I would like for you, Mr.Foreman, to take those words back )))))
Honestly, seeing what you uploaded in my notifications, I was like: "Did I eat too much and am I now in a food coma?" Seven hours is absolutely nuts, absolute madlad. I hope you got some nice rest after all that (definitely hard) work. 12 Seven Yi Sangs, Holy Shit!
This is the best way I can imagine spending my New Year's Eve. this story inspired me to Chase my own impossible dream to try and achieve perfect discipline with all I have no matter how impossible that Goal seems. Are you going to keep the scene of the final clash between sancho and her father at the top of my watch later section so i always remember my goal. Being able to relive this moment is always wonderful for me. Happy New Year everyone and may you strive to achieve your own hollow juvenile dream.
When I saw that you weren’t uploading I just assumed you were taking time off for the holidays, that turned out completely wrong lol. Amazing video though!
I also ran tremor for chapter 7... until the final boss. My team just was not finished for the fight, so I switched to my charge team and absolutely tore him apart.
Hello foreman! I also had trouble with the last fight. All my sinners got staggered and couldn't heal, so they all slowly died off; leaving Dancho as the last remaining. However, the only reason that I managed to beat it still was because of Aoe Ego skills, FluidSack and Carmilla. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to deal with the horseys at the last phase. So, that's why I asked you to get Carmilla (Don's BP Ego). Anyways, good sht and happy new year foreman!
I do suggest you to check out the bloodfiend ID storylines, specially Sancho’s, and I mean a different Sancho, don’t want to classify the difference because I do not want to spoil that ID back story. But I genuinely believe that the 4 ID’s combined has a better story than canto II, personal subjective preference, I believe you get the point though.
I think you've missed the point. Bari sent Sancho letters the entire time Sancho has been locked in the lighthouse. And Sancho sat there for 200 years. No human can live that long. Bari is no Fixer. You'll find no mention of her name in Hana Association archives.
Saying he missed the point and then giving a explanation that's complete conjecture is rich. We know very little of Bari- and I think the more plausible explanation for her living 200 years is that she herself said she was gonna be passing through the ruins where Sancho was staying quite often, looking for something else in the area. Something like, for example, the river that grants immortality, the one Hong Lu's family is also searching for. Implying Bari is not a human and saying she isn't even fixer is a theory with little backing from what I've seen, so i completely disagree Foreman's somehow "missed the point".
@@grapesonvines4407 Giving the Head's scorn towards the idea of true immortality, Hana would've eventually caught and interrogated the eternally-young Bari about her abnormal aging, and then the river of immortality wouldn't be as big of a secret as it is now. Which proves Hana has no idea that there *is* a person (who calls herself a Fixer) to interrogate.
@ uh since when did the Head dislike immortality? To my recollection that has never been stated, which makes sense since the head would then have beef with literally every Bloodfiend in the city, which we know is not the case. The Head has been stated to target non humans and clones, and they dislike certain ways of killing, but to my knowledge they have no qualms with immortality.
Thinking on it now, you may be thinking of when it’s stated, while discussing Dante’s abilities, that the Head is against the idea of turning back time and reviving people? Again, that’s entirely different from eternal youth, but I can imagine someone mistakenly conflating the two
The song for the Don fight is amazing, but I swear that there's a Mario Bros. swimming noise used in it and it takes me completely by surprise every time. Otherwise, congrats on fighting through another canto, and holy heck the 7 hours of video. Definitely looking forward to your analysis and rankings after this one.
Happy new year indeed! Going straight into the next year with a bang! Even though.. It's sad to see that we couldn't give them a good ending.. Non of them could be helped and her father was taken from us.. :S BUT! K corp eyeball can make zombies so it might not be the last time we see him! :D
It's interesting to see the strategic difference with how I do the Bloodfiend Trio fight vs you. I just focus down the Barber because the other two really don't do damage for a long time, and then Dulcinea because the Priest on his own has zero threat. Based on what we've seen of Outis, she probably fought in the Smoke War same as Gregor, but as a leader. Also fittingly, or perhaps ironically, the easiest way to do the final fight is to make it a duel between Sancho and Don Quixote.
Really makes me wonder how the tier list is gonna work with this. Don's arc is great, but we don't really see how she is going to behave going forward, how much she is going to commit to the act now that she can clearly comprehend the grays of the City. And for this Canto we have Don as we knew her's functional death, since even if she's regained her optimism there's still so much more baggage that old Don didn't have due to amnesia.
Aww, the final fight would've been more easier if you can use T. Corp Don in the dungeon. The lack of tremor chain made the dungeon fights harder and it resulted in you using a lot of ego resources therefore making the final fight harder. Still, you made it and even gave us this amazing gift.
Man the real don quixote is so broken OP i wouldn't be surprised he surpasses even the red mist, he could maybe even be impuritas civitatis power level when fully nourished since he managed to turn the scales of a losing battle by himself (and his family too I guess) and that battle had like 20 first kindreds involved minimum
@@Reynnan123 nah i doubt it. kali/redmist is such a BS level of OP within the series that i doubt we'll meet anyone of her level until like...canto 15 or beyond.
@@Reynnan123 I feel like people forget that Impurity isn't a power tier, it's a status. The strongest beings in the city that aren't directly tied to The Head are Stars of the City and Color Fixers. Impurities are entities that in some way defy The Head's ideals and are slated for erasure. Some examples being the Seed of Light Project in the Outskirts, Angela (not the Library, Angela herself) for being an AI, so on. If you break The Head's rules in a way that's of note, you become an impurity and The Head will send its best subordinates at you to ensure you remember what the rules are for the remaining time you have.
@@Reynnan123yall really underestimate what powerhouse kali was, she literally has the passive ‘the strongest’ that and considering the kali we fought and the page that we have is just a simulation of what she was
@@makovader2124 "yall really underestimate what powerhouse kali was, she literally has the passive ‘the strongest’" Okay, but "the strongest" in that case is not some objective measure of her power level - it's just one of her non-official titles, and something that Kali was generally known for, which is what that passive is referring to. But a bunch of random dudes believing the Red Mist to be "the strongest" does not actually make it true, especially concidering that literally *no one* in the City (except maybe the Head) has enough information to accurately make such a statement. In addition to that we know that Kali's "limit" was an Arbiter and a couple of Claws, and I very much doubt that PM-Verse does not have a single entity that is stronger than just that. Lastly, like Roland said during his conversation with Angela before or after Star of the City Argalia fight, there are multiple way to measure "power" as a concept, so the fact that the Red Mist can smack things with her sword the hardest once again does not make her the most powerful fighter in the City.
Canto 7 was kinda funny for me difficulty wise, I had a decent difficulty spike with Dulcinea, but it was still first try, then everything was easy. Until Dad Quixote which I even grinded before attempting for the first time, in the end managed to beat him by doing a WARP Don solo, which is way easier than it sounds
I remember that the way i beat don was with a duo, sancho with an id that had a dodge and any other character that also had a dodge, this way i get the effects of immortal don and i cant get impaled, it was still tough as nails though
having won that final fight, with a charge team, with only 2 sinners surviving, i can confidently say, yeah the fight is sooo easy jokes aside you did very well in the fight, as seen with my comment, it could have gone worse
Being honest, I prefer Canto 6, since it feels interesting all throughout, while canto 7 has a good start, abit weak of a mid section, and a REALLY strong finale, I'd even argue the finale is stronger than canto 6. However, I do hope they don't repeat the sappiness of convincing don quixote by the end too many times, otherwise it would lose impact.
Now that its all over the trick to cheesing this kind of unbreakable coin abuse is that while you cant break them you can DODGE them and they won't do anything. Its why W don solo is the easiest way to do that fight
@@ForemanPlaysStuffstill think sancho would absolutely stomp dulcinea though, both with just fisticuffs and weaponry, rocinante could play a part in it as well because apparently it took a chunk of dad Quixote's strength to make him, Dulcinea seems more support oriented and relies on others to do her bidding
Foreman makes stupid decision to make 7 hour video. I make stupid decision to watch it. I will be dying tomorrow in my job ;/. The last fight i went solo Don, was a lot easier than full team.

With any arms race weapons will be made to counter the protective measures of the time; however, the head keeps these measures in check almost nonsensically. We see more than once people being run through on a pike taking days to bleed out, people bloodied from head to toe still able to stand and fight. The city's tech almost seems to want to elongate suffering as much as it can, so fighting for three days straight? Sounds like light work, most weapons from our world's dark ages were made to be used for battles that could take hours. This is why people like the Red Mist were the exception they could end fights in an instant despite the circumstances. I could get into how this is showcased in gameplay in certain ways as well, but this comment is already a paragraph for a technically 7-hour video.
Oh but one other thing, the oh you've never had a reason to exist have you? line, yeah bloodfiends are technically a form of abno, and while not all abnos have a reason to exist, they all have a will to presist but that's nothing earth-shattering that hasn't be conceived of before
@Lone_Archiver where does that come from? From the whole nosferatu thing?
@@thefrostbite1135 that is one piece of it yes; however, there is also what has been addressed in Limbus as to how similar to distortions they are
"I should not have done this. It's been 5 hours already! This was a mistake!" (Hasn't even started the final fight)
You poor soul. I did Canto 7 Part 3 on release at 8PM, and it took me until roughly 1-2AM to beat it, maybe pushing 3AM. That final fight alone took 2-3 of those hours. I was so dead to the world when I had to go to work that morning. I echo your sentiment; I should not have done this, this was a mistake.
When I played Canto 7, my team composition idea was that I would use Fixer ID's, focusing on Cinq. That left me with a few Sevens, two Liu, a few Zwei, and I think MultiCrack Heath. Then the idea was that we would get Bloodfiend Identities which I would swap into once we got to Don Quixote awakening as one. But we only got the Barber ID by that point, so I only had one Bloodfiend. It felt fitting using Fixers in Don's Canto.
I'd like to give a shoutout to Zwei Gregor. Zwei Gregor might have become one of my personal top ID's because of how he absolutely refused to buckle in that final fight and did a beautiful job being our shield. Clashing, tanking hits, he did phenomenally. He carried that fight hard, alongside Don's Fluid Sack sapping 20 Sanity On Hit. We just barely pulled through, and I credit those two for winning us the fight.
Edit:
Oh yeah, and Hero's pretty good. At least I really liked it. I will never tire of the "Excitement that I feel, excitement that I feel, return them to the shelf cause now I understand, heroes cannot be real, heroes cannot be real" part. It helped hammer in the moment for me. And it made using a bunch of Fixer ID's feel even more satisfying and relevant.
It’s interesting that the final joust took place under the gaze of... the White Moon...
apologizing for a good time? Nah, more like thank you for giving us 7 hours long video. This was my most anticipated video series I was waiting for from you and my god I watched it all in one sitting, it was enjoyable through it all.
And you managed to actually finish the dungeon playing a legitimate team formation, holy heck. I actually struggled and had to do the cheese, I just don't have the patient to deal with final boss Don Quixote the intended way. Well played to you
I’m not sure if you have noticed during Don Quixote fight he only got -10 offense level from Thirst while most of his nerfing is from the golden bough and he was lv 90
FOREVER MY HERO
FOREVER MY HERO
I like how foreman keeps saying "the fragile will help us next turn" when using lccb ish's S3 despite the fragile being same-turn and fragile expires at turn end regardless of amount
I can feel that Vergilius was pissed when that P Corp's woman came to take Don's body.
Congrats on finishing canto 7! honest to say an hour long limbus video never felt enough for me so these lengthy videos is like a new year treat, thank you!
For the last fight I used rupture team then got completely obliterated (probably because the fight was around 1 AM, already tired from mid-boss fights or maybe just bad at reading) I then switch the team so I could cheesed him with cinq don solo. it makes the fight much easier but the victory never feel victorious. watching your fights makes me want to challenge the dungeon for real this time. Happy new year Foreman!
My g tried to brute force don quixote with a pierce and slash fatal team props to him for trying 😭
huh weird interaction at 2:03:08 Heathcliff dieing of bleed middle of clash stopped the big AOE attack from going off... interesting that happened even though the other targets are still alive, could be a neat strategy to use if anyone does the dungeon again and has someone doomed to die to bleed
Great start of the new year, you did great Foreman! Loved the videos on this canto
One, two
One, Two, Three Four
Stand up, gallop on
Nothing can be done by feeling so sorry for myself
Hero on a plastic horse
Fighting like it's real with a cardboard sword
I know successful or not, I am who I am
I am my biggest fan
I am my biggest fan
I am my enemy and my friend
Hero gonna prove my version of justice
Is more just than yours
Uno remaining on this stage, I am the only one
I am my biggest fan
I am my biggest fan
I am my enemy and my friend
Ride on Foreman, play your part and continue to carry the dream
3:10:15 Outis was actually afraid Don would start eating the fuel for the bus. Now that she's awakened her blood fiend instincs.
Hope you like getting less enkephalin!
Lot of cheers towards the new year, Foreman and everyone
Astounding work, and happy new year, Foreman~
This Canto was definitely amazing. I'm honestly just speechless about it all. I can't wait to see your post-canto tierlist.
foreman after chapter 6: "oh, no way PM can top that, I bet the next canto will be worse just cuz you can't go above how good canto 6 was"
I would like for you, Mr.Foreman, to take those words back )))))
Spoilers
QTE = game ruined
Honestly, seeing what you uploaded in my notifications, I was like: "Did I eat too much and am I now in a food coma?"
Seven hours is absolutely nuts, absolute madlad. I hope you got some nice rest after all that (definitely hard) work. 12 Seven Yi Sangs, Holy Shit!
best new years gift i couldve asked for. thanks foreman.
This is the best way I can imagine spending my New Year's Eve. this story inspired me to Chase my own impossible dream to try and achieve perfect discipline with all I have no matter how impossible that Goal seems. Are you going to keep the scene of the final clash between sancho and her father at the top of my watch later section so i always remember my goal. Being able to relive this moment is always wonderful for me. Happy New Year everyone and may you strive to achieve your own hollow juvenile dream.
When I saw that you weren’t uploading I just assumed you were taking time off for the holidays, that turned out completely wrong lol. Amazing video though!
I also ran tremor for chapter 7... until the final boss.
My team just was not finished for the fight, so I switched to my charge team and absolutely tore him apart.
The multitide tightens it's hold. Big thx for the Xmas present much appreciated 🙏
Hello foreman! I also had trouble with the last fight. All my sinners got staggered and couldn't heal, so they all slowly died off; leaving Dancho as the last remaining.
However, the only reason that I managed to beat it still was because of Aoe Ego skills, FluidSack and Carmilla. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to deal with the horseys at the last phase. So, that's why I asked you to get Carmilla (Don's BP Ego). Anyways, good sht and happy new year foreman!
56:00 "fun" is free, but I can afford nice things
-Sancho, probaly
Bari, Don Quixote and Sancho are such cool characters. It was definitely a fun canto.
This canto made me cry.
I do suggest you to check out the bloodfiend ID storylines, specially Sancho’s, and I mean a different Sancho, don’t want to classify the difference because I do not want to spoil that ID back story. But I genuinely believe that the 4 ID’s combined has a better story than canto II, personal subjective preference, I believe you get the point though.
A great way to celebrate the new year. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!
I think you've missed the point. Bari sent Sancho letters the entire time Sancho has been locked in the lighthouse. And Sancho sat there for 200 years. No human can live that long.
Bari is no Fixer. You'll find no mention of her name in Hana Association archives.
Saying he missed the point and then giving a explanation that's complete conjecture is rich. We know very little of Bari- and I think the more plausible explanation for her living 200 years is that she herself said she was gonna be passing through the ruins where Sancho was staying quite often, looking for something else in the area. Something like, for example, the river that grants immortality, the one Hong Lu's family is also searching for.
Implying Bari is not a human and saying she isn't even fixer is a theory with little backing from what I've seen, so i completely disagree Foreman's somehow "missed the point".
@@grapesonvines4407 Giving the Head's scorn towards the idea of true immortality, Hana would've eventually caught and interrogated the eternally-young Bari about her abnormal aging, and then the river of immortality wouldn't be as big of a secret as it is now. Which proves Hana has no idea that there *is* a person (who calls herself a Fixer) to interrogate.
@ uh since when did the Head dislike immortality? To my recollection that has never been stated, which makes sense since the head would then have beef with literally every Bloodfiend in the city, which we know is not the case. The Head has been stated to target non humans and clones, and they dislike certain ways of killing, but to my knowledge they have no qualms with immortality.
Thinking on it now, you may be thinking of when it’s stated, while discussing Dante’s abilities, that the Head is against the idea of turning back time and reviving people? Again, that’s entirely different from eternal youth, but I can imagine someone mistakenly conflating the two
24:12 Well, certainly yes. And then they released the ID.
The song for the Don fight is amazing, but I swear that there's a Mario Bros. swimming noise used in it and it takes me completely by surprise every time.
Otherwise, congrats on fighting through another canto, and holy heck the 7 hours of video.
Definitely looking forward to your analysis and rankings after this one.
Happy new year indeed! Going straight into the next year with a bang!
Even though.. It's sad to see that we couldn't give them a good ending..
Non of them could be helped and her father was taken from us.. :S
BUT! K corp eyeball can make zombies so it might not be the last time we see him! :D
the production value went through the roof
It's interesting to see the strategic difference with how I do the Bloodfiend Trio fight vs you. I just focus down the Barber because the other two really don't do damage for a long time, and then Dulcinea because the Priest on his own has zero threat.
Based on what we've seen of Outis, she probably fought in the Smoke War same as Gregor, but as a leader.
Also fittingly, or perhaps ironically, the easiest way to do the final fight is to make it a duel between Sancho and Don Quixote.
Really makes me wonder how the tier list is gonna work with this. Don's arc is great, but we don't really see how she is going to behave going forward, how much she is going to commit to the act now that she can clearly comprehend the grays of the City. And for this Canto we have Don as we knew her's functional death, since even if she's regained her optimism there's still so much more baggage that old Don didn't have due to amnesia.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Happy new year~ Good job!
Aww, the final fight would've been more easier if you can use T. Corp Don in the dungeon. The lack of tremor chain made the dungeon fights harder and it resulted in you using a lot of ego resources therefore making the final fight harder. Still, you made it and even gave us this amazing gift.
FELIZ AÑO NUEVOOOOO
And the second half too! I'm set for my day off tomorrow lmao 😂🎉
Can't believe this Star of the City vampire ancient got thousand nights'd by some rando in blue.
Man the real don quixote is so broken OP i wouldn't be surprised he surpasses even the red mist, he could maybe even be impuritas civitatis power level when fully nourished since he managed to turn the scales of a losing battle by himself (and his family too I guess) and that battle had like 20 first kindreds involved minimum
@@Reynnan123 nah i doubt it.
kali/redmist is such a BS level of OP within the series that i doubt we'll meet anyone of her level until like...canto 15 or beyond.
@@Reynnan123 I feel like people forget that Impurity isn't a power tier, it's a status. The strongest beings in the city that aren't directly tied to The Head are Stars of the City and Color Fixers. Impurities are entities that in some way defy The Head's ideals and are slated for erasure. Some examples being the Seed of Light Project in the Outskirts, Angela (not the Library, Angela herself) for being an AI, so on. If you break The Head's rules in a way that's of note, you become an impurity and The Head will send its best subordinates at you to ensure you remember what the rules are for the remaining time you have.
@@Reynnan123yall really underestimate what powerhouse kali was, she literally has the passive ‘the strongest’
that and considering the kali we fought and the page that we have is just a simulation of what she was
@@makovader2124 "yall really underestimate what powerhouse kali was, she literally has the passive ‘the strongest’"
Okay, but "the strongest" in that case is not some objective measure of her power level - it's just one of her non-official titles, and something that Kali was generally known for, which is what that passive is referring to. But a bunch of random dudes believing the Red Mist to be "the strongest" does not actually make it true, especially concidering that literally *no one* in the City (except maybe the Head) has enough information to accurately make such a statement. In addition to that we know that Kali's "limit" was an Arbiter and a couple of Claws, and I very much doubt that PM-Verse does not have a single entity that is stronger than just that. Lastly, like Roland said during his conversation with Angela before or after Star of the City Argalia fight, there are multiple way to measure "power" as a concept, so the fact that the Red Mist can smack things with her sword the hardest once again does not make her the most powerful fighter in the City.
Don Quixote kicked my ass to the point were I had to cheese him to get by him, good job foreman, Canto 7 was awesome!
Finally finished the video, and not sure if you have noticed, but Bari's design is similar to the bookhunter in the bad ending of LoR!
HOLY 3 HOURS VIDEO
THANK YOU
Thank you foreman!! Loved the vids :)
Canto 7 was kinda funny for me difficulty wise, I had a decent difficulty spike with Dulcinea, but it was still first try, then everything was easy. Until Dad Quixote which I even grinded before attempting for the first time, in the end managed to beat him by doing a WARP Don solo, which is way easier than it sounds
And a second happy new year wishes as well!
I remember that the way i beat don was with a duo, sancho with an id that had a dodge and any other character that also had a dodge, this way i get the effects of immortal don and i cant get impaled, it was still tough as nails though
perfect music sync 4:10
fun fact : the sound of you spamming spacebar sound like the sound of a horse galloping, hence “GALLOP ON, TOGETHER!”
thank you my glorious king
Well next is the La mancha ID stories I suppose.
Also don’t worry about covering pass on with the duel music, we don’t need to hear Don duetting solo (heh)
congratulations and happy new year
Nice video. You should totally play Paradise Killer at some point. I think you'd vibe with it.
having won that final fight, with a charge team, with only 2 sinners surviving, i can confidently say, yeah the fight is sooo easy
jokes aside you did very well in the fight, as seen with my comment, it could have gone worse
Being honest, I prefer Canto 6, since it feels interesting all throughout, while canto 7 has a good start, abit weak of a mid section, and a REALLY strong finale, I'd even argue the finale is stronger than canto 6.
However, I do hope they don't repeat the sappiness of convincing don quixote by the end too many times, otherwise it would lose impact.
I didn't know he could just use sphere again that's brutal
2:42:15 Bleed can't stagger you, silly!
Spicebush yi sang has tremor in his kit so it’s totally fair :)
Gallop on!
Now that its all over the trick to cheesing this kind of unbreakable coin abuse is that while you cant break them you can DODGE them and they won't do anything. Its why W don solo is the easiest way to do that fight
MATTAGAN POOREH!!!
GAMNAEHAEYA HAL... GOTONGIMNIDA!!!
Is that Harry on the supporting drums for children of the city????
Unless he's joined Mili without my knowledge, I don't think so
I wonder if Bari is actually a white colour
27:18 Casetti is NOT a second kindred, nor is he even a third kindred, he's like sixth if I recall
I know, I was referring to the trio when I said it, but it does kinda sound like I was talking about Casetti, so I can understand the confusion.
@@ForemanPlaysStuffstill think sancho would absolutely stomp dulcinea though, both with just fisticuffs and weaponry, rocinante could play a part in it as well because apparently it took a chunk of dad Quixote's strength to make him, Dulcinea seems more support oriented and relies on others to do her bidding
Trio? Only Dulci and Sancho are second...
Limbus company
SOY QUIXOTE DON QUIXOTE
24:08 That aged poorly
Kino
Foreman makes stupid decision to make 7 hour video. I make stupid decision to watch it. I will be dying tomorrow in my job ;/.
The last fight i went solo Don, was a lot easier than full team.
