The Royal Tomb: Let's Play Monomyth: part 8
Monomyth is a fantasy dungeon crawler with crafting and survival elements. We play as a young price who has foolishly rushed off to rescue his brother without taking any servants or bodyguards with him. Imprisoned, we now find ourselves at the mercy of our captors yet all is not lost. As luck would have it we have been placed in the only cell the architect saw fit to contain an escape tunnel.
Our quest to rescue our brother continues.

      I must have missed that. Oh well, I'll be going back there to collect those short swords at some point. The problem with the blunt skill is that it doesn't add to shield use the same way the bladed weapon skill does. That, and the general lack of blunt weapons in the early game makes it fairly unattractive in comparison.

    Hey there. I'm playing the game now and wondering if my game is bugged. I have the "Orc Document" aka the orc hide with letters or whatever, but when I try to show it to the Chief, he says all hope is lost, one paragraph only and that's all we can talk to him about that topic. Then I can't click the Chief again after that. I think either a) I have to go to the Witch now and see if she knows what the document is about, or b) my game is bugged and the Chief should have said more. Anyway, can you please let me know what's up with this without spoilers? Thanks!!

    1:45:26 You can access your backpack, while trading, by clicking [Switch]. Remember: You can burn down or smash wooden doors, as taught in the tutorial. Using a spell, it even does not take durability out of a weapon or torch. Kicking them down works, but is annoying, because of the insane stamina consumption. F5 quick safes your game. In those classic dungeon crawlers, I played in the nineties, you were expected to draw your own map by hand, on paper and to take other notes. For some it was close to impossible to solve them, without doing that. So it is perfectly normal, to use a map, put markers on it and take notes, for such games. 41:31 Quite interesting how different the journeys in such open world games can be. But I think yours is very unique in how late you decided to take that path, and thus in how you only found the Chapel of Rahi, after exploring most of Lysandrian Heartlands. It is funny, for how many of your in-game hours I waited for you to go there. ;-) I was there maybe 15 mins after first entering Lysandrian Heartlands. 1:11:39 If you ask NPCs "Tell me about ..." "Yourself", you are not revealing your identity and secrets to him, but you ask the NPC to tell you something about himself. Also investigating the Chapel (of Rahi), about the Primeval Seed, is literally a quest objective, right from the beginning. This could be a consideration in your decision not to talk to the priest about it. Pushing levers usually opens passageways, right next to them, not in some distant location.

      It's actually funny because, in the letters column in White Dwarf, Dave Morris* once claimed "I'm not going to just drop a ninja into my medieval fantasy setting because it's flavour of the month." He explained that he'd use things relevant to the setting he was writing an adventure for. I can't remember if this was a direct dig at the Way of the Tiger or just some fantasy game authors in general who's stuff felt a little inconsistent and disconnected. *At least I think it was Dave Morris. Basically his point was, if I want to tell a ninja story I'll do a proper oriental setting instead of shoehorning it in somewhere else.

      Further reply (but kept separate). Book 6 has a number of errors in it. I've never played book 6. Originally I'm not even sure I knew it existed until I discovered the pdfs many years later. I plan to play all the way to book 6 then do the prequel (book 0) and finally book 7 so that I'll be covering them in published order. Bok 7 brings an end to the series in a way that book 6 did not manage to do. Apparently there was always supposed to be a book 7 to come after 6 but it didn't happen. I don't know how close the new book 7 is to the original intentions for that book but I believe it was reasonably well received.

    I don't know about the rest of your audience, but you don't need to replay the entire book if you get killed on my account. If it's a combat encounter, just roll back to the start of the encounter and fight it through again. If you fail a save-or-die fate roll, just roll back to before the roll and try again. I think that will save time all round.

      Oh I was planning, for the rematch, starting with the brigand encounter, skipping to section 281 for the defence roll against Tyuchev, then taking the damage for the Sun Star ring and fighting Mardohl but skipping almost all narration. Basically if Tyuchev doesn't stab you, you can take 2 or 3 hits from Mardohl and probably drop him in 2-3 hits (finishing with a Kwon's Flail kick empowered by inner force). I shouldn't have missed so many attacks in that fight but neither should the son of Nil who should have truly punished me for all those misses. The combination of an early miss and low endurance (thanks to Tyuchev) forced me into a pattern of blocking until his attacks missed so that I could dedicate inner force once again to an attack.

      The thing is, I wouldn't have minded dying to Mardohl that much. It was recording everything else to get back to this point again that I wasn't liking as it would be virtually identical with the only difference being the dice rolls. I didn't mind walking away with 1 Endurance point because I knew I'd get a total heal after the fight anyway (this book gives total heals after almost every tough fight, not a pattern that's so obvious among the rest of the series).

    You missed a trick in the Lady in Grey fight - if you cast a spell at her, she automatically counters it, but when she does she loses concentration on keeping the old knight paralysed, and he completes his strike and kills her. (So, casting any spell at her is an auto-win.) You're right that there are some very rough fights in this book. Particularly the Eislaken. (Getting the flying carpet is a good way round (over) this one!) Also, you have to find the legion standard to be able to win, and doing so requires taking very specific steps (e.g. you have to follow the funeral procession - if you attack it straight away, you are not allowed to investigate where it is going, so can't find the cathedral), as well as persisting through the very nasty trials. I remember being quite lost for a while about how to avoid auto-defeat against the Warlock-King's army when I first had the book. A very tough book if you have no prior knowledge!

    4:10 - actually, the enemy gets a +2 to attack, I believe. Because, as I recall, to hit against a defense you must EXCEED the defense but in order to successfully block you must roll LESS THAN the defense. So , if I have a defense of 7, the enemy must roll 8 or higher to hit, and if they do I must then roll 6 or lower to block. This exactly accounts for the -2 penalty we pay on our next attack roll. I'm not sure about blocking. In theory, this should be the edge that allows us to no-sell some 40% of enemy attacks, but since you're almost guaranteed to miss the next attack, we're also essentially giving the enemy another free attack before we can respond. I have to wonder whether sometimes it's better just to take the hit in the hopes of actually being able to land a blow next round.

      2 indeed. Generally blocking is for emergency use only and not for every round you get hit. While the re-roll is easier for the enemy the fact that you're forcing a second roll includes a second chance of failure. If they hit that doesn't change the outcome. If they miss then their entire first roll is wasted - nullified. It seems like it's worth it against attacks that rolled really high but should have missed anyway because it's not going to do much against an attack where our defence was low.

      No, no. It is 1. In your example the enemy hits on an 8+, when blocking the same attack the enemy hits on a 7+. So it is just a 1 point difference after all.

      You're right; the enemy must roll 7 or higher to hit on this second attempt. So it's a difference of 1, not stil. a bit harder to block but not as bad as I thought. Even so, I'm leading a collaborative playthrough and we're missing a LOT of blocks.

      A bit harder but you get a second chance for them to miss. How do you feel about section 281? You are told that you try to block but would you allow a block outside of combat? I'm leaning towards the block in that section being narrative rather than mechanical especially as it would set a precedent for other out of combat attack rolls.

      @@raphaelperry8159 Having read the section AS WRITTEN I have to treat the block as Tyutchev needing a 7 or higher (in other words, a normal block) to hit. There's nothing in the text to suggest we should treat this block any differently from any other. The one thing I'm sure is in book 3, I actually heard from the authors about this: In the combat with the halforcs on the dead city path, "Make a fate roll" means "roll 1 die", not 2 die. If you roll a 5 or 6 on one die while fighting the swarm of half-orcs you are hit for 1d6 damage -- a 33% chance. That's far less lethal than other interpretations. At the end of the day, if the game doesn't seem to make sense a certain way then play it differently. In other books, a throw grants +2 to hit AND to damage, and that's the way I play it throughout, even if the rules change between books.

    I feel like this is one of those games where splitting skill points into too many skills will have you stuck with mid-level equipment in the endgame. The enemies are so far and few between that each level you gain matters. I still love watching you play this though. I Can't wait to see what the next few areas have in store.

      Just wait 'til section 281. That random roll alone can make or break the next episode.

      Don't worry. If other people's videos about this game have taught me anything then apparently to be "good" at this game and get loads of views I need to get a sex change, be about 20-30 years younger, have a foreign accent (Canadian, American, Dutch and Swedish being the most popular for some reason), run around ignoring everything, not pay attention to things, talk over cutscenes and dialogue and miss blatantly obvious important information then be confused by it. And have a face cam despite people telling me that my autism means they have a hard time reading my facial expressions.

    Red and blue potions do stack. It's just a bit tricky stacking things in the bottom row.
