Game: Hey, isn't this dagger super interesting and shiny?
Mark: Why can't I fish the moon?!
OK BUT I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING ABOUT THE MOON
@DON'T Ok i wont 👍
@DON'T WOWW i am not a fucking idiot who falls for scams or other shit
@DON'Talrigty then
ahahahahah, but then again that's the funny personality we all love about Mark! XD
I love how Mark gives absolutely zero shits about the Stoat. Everyone else tends to go out of their way to sacrifice another card on the board, but Mark just completely tosses it into death.
How to treat a jerk like a bully
This man knows deep down inside that the stoat is some ass lol
Which i find so funny!
Heh heh it's what it deserves...
I mean, they are indeed shit-talking you, contrary to the Stinkbug. Not that Mark wouldn't sacrifice that one ot the Ouroboros either x)
Just when I thought his undying squirrel thing was the most broken thing ever and losing it is just gonna get him stuck again, he goes on and creates an even more broken strat with the ouroboros. Simply genius! This series has me hooked! Can't wait to see more!
While the ouroboros is certainly broken, it still costs 2 blood, and you need to get it first. If Mark had stopped at simply an overleveled ouroboros, he wouldn't have swept everything so easily. Now, an overleveled ouroboros, squirrels that let you pick any card from your deck, and an infinite sacrificial cat with enough blood for anything other than Urayuli...
And to make matters worse/better, he gave his ouroboros essentially double damage. A couple more levels, and it could have one-shot the moon.
If he chose the undying mole, or gave undying to a blood cost creature, he’d have a (semi) infinite loop by sacrificing Oro with the undying then sacrifice the undying for Oro
@@wyvern107 we don't need ouro in this house. We here worship geck
@@Pikachu-kw4fv why what does Geck do?
@@FuryousD You can just use it to block or sacrifice it for blood because it's a free card
Marks learning curve, going from never drawing squirrels and complaining he can't play anything to the absolutely OP strat of squirrel with magpie sigil plus infinicat with 3 blood sigil plus continuously sacrificing the ouroboros is just wild.
Watching this playthrough at first was PAINFUL because of his lack of strategy. Now it’s just kind of like. Huh.. how is he even doing this
@@Sillymodezeenith If you see this game as a Card Game than a front for a mystery game, you'd come up with strats
@@boid9761 Yeah, I went into this going "Hey, this is kind of like MtG and Duel Masters"
Didn't realize there needed to be anything else to it lmao
yeah game seems kinda unbalanced so far what with the squirrel totems. at least when you put a goat sigil on a cat you're not guaranteed to have that ability every game. totems are guaranteed.
@@Sillymodezeenith I’m just lost lmao, also is that a flag in ur pfp?
Mark: *keeps killing the ouroboros to get it stronger*
The Angler: *sweats*

I might have put triple attack on my 45 ouroboros and 1 shot the moon, and won the match.....
@@PartytimeYOLO I'm positive the only reason Oroborous is in the game is so that when you have the puzzle requirements you can actually experience the rest of the game.
@@PartytimeYOLO Your paultry 45 / 45 Ouroborus is nothing compared to my 112 / 112

@@Lofi.z34 probably because you didnt get through the levels fast enough? idk
Almost as if it's an intended gag or something!
Also his name is leshy
Leshy cheats all the time. He plays cards without paying the blood cost and pulls some zany shit during his boss fights. The stoat and Mark both call him out on it in the first episode. :P
Game - "here's this knife, use it"
Mark - *uses it once* "I hate it."
Game - "no seriously USE THE KNIFE"

40:53 "OH BUT THE OROBORIS
OH BUT OROOROBIOS
OH BUT THE OROAORABORIS"
" *BUT THE OROMABOMI* "
The “child 13” card is the jersey devil- created when a mother became pregnant with her 13th child and said her child would be cursed; the devil’s child. when she gave birth the baby grew horns and cloven hooves as well as wings. idk if that’s meaningful to the game but just wanted to say that for anyone interested
Ooo thanks for the info
When sacrificed 13 times in one game, it turns into a different card called the “Hungry Child”, which has no attack or defence, which most people think is a reference to the early version of inscryption named “sacrifices must be made”. One of the cards there was named the hungry child. It returns back to child 13 in the next round.
@@Sly-Moose can I ask how this is incest?
@@original_demonic Oh wait- I misread op's comment. I thought it said "the mother became pregnant FROM her 13th child," not with. 😅 My bad. Man, I need some sleep.
@@Sly-Moose ha ha, don’t worry about it, I think nearly everyone in the UA-cam comments section does 😂.
People are saying Mark is missing things and thus not progressing in the story, but honestly as someone who has never played or seen another youtuber play this game, I'm having a blast just watching him play card games. Tbh this is for sure one of my favourite gameplays
Same
yeah i got the game because of his let's play to be honest, and i wasn't dissapointed its a very good game!
It’s because the game tells him how to progress using hints. And then he completely ignores it. If he acknowledged what he needed to do but made it clear he wanted to dick around more, people wouldn’t be upset. But watching someone act like a dense idiot isn’t pleasant for a lot of people.
the game gets better when you move past the first THIRD of it lmao
Agreed. A lot of the playthroughs I tried to watch would always skip past the fun card game playing parts.
But seeing every bit of Mark's adventure is a lot more fun than watching someone do all the secrets.
Part of me is glad he's stuck on the not using the knife cause this section of the game is probably the most fun. That said Mark seems to be a bit too powerful already so I hope he figures it out next time.
Honestly, yeah. This part of the game is actually the most fun.
True, he might not like the next sections after a while ;;
Does Mark read the comments?
Hey i think that you’d like a youtuber named “Sifd” he makes a lot of act one inscryption videos
Agreed this is definitely the most fun part, sometimes I reset my entire save so I can play the first part again
Game: shows entire scene about the knife
Mark: I just love this card game!
To be fair, its a very good game.
It is very good
Mark here is your hint on this message, choose the color green! Yes the dagger was part of it. You are only on 1/3 of the game! Keep going! Sincerely someone who loves Inscryption.
I would have done the same and disregarded the knife
Hint for the fire.
If you allow the survivors to eat a venomous card like the adder, they will die and no longer show up later in your playthrough, allowing you to heat up a card for as long as possible
It's not cards with venom, it's specific cards. It works with the adder, ringworm, and long elk but not with cards that you added the venom sigil to.
Allow me to ask, but when do you meet the criteria to allow you to risk doubling down on a campfire. I blasted through act 1 never dying to anything besides scripted grizzly rushes. At no point at a campfire was I allowed to double down, so when does that option appear? I’m sad I didn’t get to try this
@@donovanjoseph737 As in Mark’s playthrough, you just need to go through 3-4ish (I think) runs during Act 1.
@@donovanjoseph737 it’s one of the crutches the game gives to let you pass kinda how you can make really strong deathcards I personally never got it either but use it on the official challenge mod
Is that permanent or is it just for that run?
Mark is going to cover the fucking wall in winning cards before he uses the knife
wait, is that the key?
We need to get this comment to the top-
He’s used the knife on his eye before and nothing happened so he’s probably not gonna think to use it again
@@peachespj7129 yeah i dont know why people are saying he hasn’t used it. maybe it has to be used in a puzzle or something to progress?
@@peachespj7129 True that.
So I have played this game myself, if you use the knife too early, nothing happens, it just adds weight to the scale. But after a certain point, using the knife will enable you to reveal secrets inside the cabin.
Game: Shows mark the knife
Mark: So anyway guys, these ants....
I'm wondering if he can just get up in between rounds and grab it and stab the guy or something. Really want to see how this turns out.
@@darktangent10 thats not its purpose but it does help in another way
@@darktangent10 you use the knife to take out your eye, he will offer you a selection of eyes to replace yours, one of the eye got a magical power in it which allows you to progress the game. This is only the first boss, and mark is stuck on the loop :(
right? They literally spelled it out for him... totally missed it. XD
I'm glad he at least found the candle puzzle.
Game, with tears in its eyes: "use the knife!"
Mark: "haha oriborus go brrrr"
I know it’s so upsetting
Use*
He could have have figured that out by himself, I think
He's not thinking about puzzles outside the game really, because all the puzzles have specifically resulted in something better for the game. He used the knife already and saw what it did, but didn't go for the correct thing after use, so he doesn't realize it can do more for him.
@@Gakusangi unfortunately
Leshy's narrative combined with the gameplay just looks like the sickest game of DND ever.
Yeah, Leshy might be about as psycho as the rest of them, but he's defs got a gift for the dramatic. And he's still _trying_ to make things fun. He just wants it to be... _his_ kind of fun! (Willing participation optional)
"Hm, taking a stern look, all of these delightful boons might be throwing off the challenge I aspired for,
but on the other hand- letting my challenger build the power of god and kill the moon...
Eh, balance is overrated anyway."
Sounds just like something that would happen in the right D&D plotline.
Literally just made an IRL Inscryption set and I hope I can make the sickest DND game ever. Probs wont cuz Leshy has actual control of his environment but still.
It does
Yeah it’s giving me dnd vibes
@@Saiavinn later on it's implied that leshy knows it's the same person playing as each challenger. which means all the "willing participation optional" stuff is just flavor he added to make things more fun and honestly i love that.
i always love watching mark play a game he really loves, he gets so into it
@KelvinBB shut up 👊
U and i have similar taste 😏
You have been rewarded with a bot reposting your comment, an achievement or a burden??
Markiplier: The RingWorm is to be sacrificed in the fire for them to eat and get sick.
Next time you use campfire you would be able to upgrade multiple times.
@KelvinBB "this channel has no videos"
Gets a vision of the dagger
Mark: Probably nothing
Sees flashing lights from behind a door
Mark: What does this mean?!
This is literally how the fandom is with ego lore lol
I was just waiting for Mark to finally use the dagger and he never did
He used it in a previous episode but before he had progressed enough so the special eye wasn't there. He might just think that's all there was too it or something?
Oh jeez, I had no idea these were connected
@Kavetion You literally have a swastika as your pfp bro no one cares.
Game and everyone screaming, "Use the knife!!!"
Mark: so anyways I started killing oroboros
Relatable
I'm replaying it and I spent about 6 hours just buffing my oroborus before moving onto part 2. I got him doing 55 extra damage each round! I think I had 400 spare teeth before I actually got Leshy's photo.
Legit started laughing like crazy that the game just rams it in your face if you 'win wrong' too often. Brilliant mechanic and he still managed to be confused.

Mark : “Yeah I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that”
why use the knife? can you explain it to me plz? i didnt get the point
what would have happened if mark used the knife?
@@Heisen-ie6ci
So the knife is an item to use for an emergency. It stabs out your right eye and gives you some weight on that scale to help you in a pinch. But after a battle you’ll get a new eye by your choice. there is a glowing eye that reveals hidden messages in invisible ink. It helps you beat the first act of the game
@@soviettoaster_9323 without that eye you can’t progress
Yeah it's important to making progress. Also works as an emergency damage source if you REALLY need it..
holly molly so youre telling me this is only the first act that mark is stuck in? this game is nuts
tnx btw budy 😍🥳🤗
Mark making the op cat is why I like deck building games. that feeling when everything just falls perfectly in place and is just so good.
I always love that feeling when I find an infinite feedback loop that increases my power indefinitely in a game like Mark did with the Ouroboros in this.
What if he got the god mantis and put its sigil to the ouroboros
Would be better if it went back to his hand when it got attacked
He makes such OP cards that he never has to sacrifice his eye for the secrets 😭
He NEEDS to sacrifice his eye to get more progress to get magic guy eye
He needs to sacrifice the eye to get the secret in the clock that beats Leshy
we know
what he means is that mark doesn't need to do the dagger because he's already doing well
@@adummyguy read the comment again
@@Zoiler i didn't mean the commenter
i meant the replies
In case anyone is wondering, child 13 switches between an attack mode and defense mode each time it is sacrificed, after being sacrificed 13 times it turns into a 0/1 “hungry child” with no abilities at all, not even hidden ones
And the ringworm kills the survivors at the campfire, removing them from all future campfires, so there’s no risk with boosting a cards stats (yes the survivors occasionally eat the card you put in)
The ring worm gives you a free boon before the final boss if you have it. You can kill the guys around the fire with and Adder as well, I'm not sure, but it might be with anything that has the instakill ability
Any case anybody else was ALSO wondering, child 13 is a reference to the origin story of the Jersey Devil. After having 12 children, Mother Leeds became pregnant for the 13th time and cursed her unborn child - when it was born, the curse took hold and the child became quote “(…)a creature with hooves, a goat's head, bat wings, and a forked tail.”
If u are referencing the ring challenge that isn't it u need to explore the cabin for the ring and yes it's the poison sigil
@@icysnax4488 Not the ring worm. That's the ring trial, where you can get a ring from I think the cuckoo clock and get the free boon by just having it. As for the guys at the fire, it's only the ring worm, adder, and long elk that will kill them.
@@curiousconflict Its ring for the clock, Ring worn, and the ouroborses that gives you a freebie for the ring.
I just finished this game over the weekend, and I'm so glad that I decided to go in blind. I cannot wait to watch Mark play more, he's going to love it.
Btw If you just finished the part in the cabin that is not the end, There is like 4 more parts in addition to that, you just need to hit start new game
Welcome to the club! Isn’t omnipresence fun!
@@probark1893 yeah, I’m pretty sure he got that lmao
I'm at the robotopia part, just strolling around. I'm very glad I decided to play on my own because goddamn it's a good ass game
Im finding it really long. Chapter 2 was easy enough with my ouroborous, mantis god strat, but the third chapter stinks.
Honestly I don't mind Mark missing to whole point of the knife, he's definitely got an eye for the absolutely broken cards

“-And that’s why you should be using the dagger!”
_(Meanwhile, Markiplier is throwing fishing hooks at the moon)_
Eh he'll get it eventually XD He is the king of squirrels so why not.
What does the dagger do for that fight?
shhhh he's trying to recreate the Dreamworks logo
It has a gravitational pull, it should definitely catch on the hook!
The game is _easily_ twice as interesting with Mark voicing every character.
I watched a no commentary playthrough of the game after Mark started playing it. I really missed Mark doing the voices of the characters. It makes the game a lot more fun, the game is great on its own, but Mark brings an extra special somethin
I love his Lethy voice, it's a perfect fit
We’re gonna have a “Lore” episode where mark is gonna miss the knife for another 2-3 runs
Also gonna mention that the table you get the boon on in the final cabin scene has a special secret
@@ceo-of-chad2136 or if you have time, you can brute force it like I did in my first run. Huge mistake.
Well I can somewhat understand, he DID use the knife in his second run before it was actually useful.
@@sbboh-kcin haha. time. get it becau-
@@sbboh-kcin i just saw it and did the thing on my first try out of habit, i was greatly suprised
It is incredibly funny to me that Mark hasn't progressed because he's just too good at the game. Don't need to sacrifice anything if you keep winning by such a large amount of overkill lol
He's ascended beyond the usage of measly items
The tooths overfloweth
Also I find it kind of funny that the game tells him to use the knife and he doesn't.
mark has made countless mistakes in this game and is STILL beating bosses left and right somehow. what the fuck
@@nodonutsforu your just bad
Man, Mark's just been leaning into his King of the Squirrels epithet without even realizing it in this video, huh?
That would prolly mean that Amy is Squirrel Girl.
Ill look for my medicine now
finally someone who is thinking the same thing! How the hell has Mark not made that connection yet?
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT! HE MUST'VE THOUGHT SOMETHING LIKE THAT WAS SURFACING AGAIN! LIKE US! WE WILL RISE AGAIN
Had to google what that meant haha
I can't tell if Mark is the worst at this game, or SECRETLY BRILIANT.
I mean, he's definitely not the worst, he actually plays the game competently, but not solving the puzzles right away is letting him see content I never did. Like the trapper selling discount pelts after being beaten, or that Leshy hangs the pictures of the opponents who've beaten him on the door. I ALSO had no idea you could sit down with the clover at the table and have it used as reshuffle for drawn cards! I just left it sitting next to the skull!
Keep up the good work Mark!
More oil painting spoilers: If you die after putting the clover down at the table, you can get another painting puzzle! Once solved, you can grab a third candle to add to your fixture, giving you three lives, and potentially an extra smoke card for boss battles if you get through a map without losing.
@@kaitlynkratz9433 he literally does this in the video wdym
It's also worth it to extinguish the flames on that one candle holder... But I've yet to find out what the globe or the bone lord skull does.
@@DarthBiomech Based on everything I've read, they're just decoration. The globe does act as foreshadowing of the Act 2 map, and I think the Bone Lord skull is just kind of a fun "you won't know what this is the first time you see it" sort of thing.
@@kaitlynkratz9433 EVEN MORE oil painting spoilers:
There's actually one more oil painting boon that I found--it replaces all of your squirrel cards with bees. Which I thought was bad at first, because I had a decent squirrel totem at the time. But since bees are flying, it does mean you get a free card that can do direct damage every single turn...Then I got an insect head totem which made all my insect cards kill in one hit, and uh. Well when I got to The Moon. I killed it in one hit with a bee. Whoop.
Mark just made the smartest move ever when he made the “super cat”…. Man I wish I could have his big brain
But he could have made an oroboros that never dies
@@dominicunrau2289 The thing is he needs his Ouroboros to die first so he can stack more atk
@@dominicunrau2289 But doesn't it have to die to get the power boost?
@@dominicunrau2289 the floor here could potentially be made out of floor
And if he had given that revive ability to something with a blood cost instead of the geck, he could've made an infinite loop of killing/ boosting the oroboros until he maxed it. I was so hopeful when I realized his glorious opportunity.
Hey Mark, the ring worm's actually really good for two reasons. First, if you feed it to the survivors at a campfire, every campfire in that run afterwards will be deserted, and you can upgrade your cards freely. Second, the ring worm counts as a ring, so for the trial of the ring at the end of a run, it's an instant success if you have one in your deck.
I hope he sees this
That’s kind of funny, in a messed up way
That’s really op but I don’t think mark reads the comments on puzzle type videos so noting get spoiled.
He doesn’t really need it though.
he doesnt read comments lmao
@@Anthintendo yeah, admittedly, I discovered it by accident. I got a ring worm because I wanted to know why it was good. My first thought was maybe it does extra damage to Leshy if you attack him with it, so I tried using a campfire to give it damage, but they ate it, and then the next campfire, they were all dead, so easy upgrades.
Every time stoat says “bad play” mark says “YOUR A BAD PLAY” and it cracks me up every time because that’s just what the stoat said.

Also an online pvp version of the part after this would be fun as hell.
honestly i was dissapointed when i moved onto the next acts. i don't need the ultra meta videogame stuff, just fighting the devil with a cardgame that is just symbolic of actual creatures being used like puppets while i try to escape the cabin would be EPIC
Maybe a DLC where you can just Deck Build and Fight the four masters, like you would with Leshy, would be nice... wonder why the lady killed Luke anyway such mysteries unsolved... it's why Fooly Cooly kept me interested.
there are some great mods out there for that. Been playing act 1 for 20 hours now. A proper act 1 edition fromt he devs would be nice tho, especially if it allowed us to play against other players

Me who used the knife and chose the fancy tech eyeball on like playthrough 3 unintentionally: OH WOW THERE'S SO MUCH SIGNPOSTING I NEVER GOT TO SEE!!!!
lol but yeah if I hadn't accidentally made such major progress so early by accident I wouldn't have figured it for a W H I L E cmon! You gotta admit the card gameplay is surprisingly addictive & easy to get distracted by!
@@bluem516 he’s suppose to use it more than once
Me, who used the knife only against Leshy in the final battle because that's kinda what the goo jar implied, and had op enough cards he'd never need to use it earlier in the game, and didn't figure that out for. . .about twelve runs, until the entire door was full of those winning pictures.
@@bluem516 but when he still cant see the clock thing.
This extra episode of gameplay here has just made me really want an online mode. This is a well-designed and fun as hell card game that would be fun to play with other real people!
This would be cool, how would the death card making work? I imagine the ones made by opponents would be put into possible cards in the Steam account? Also how would the map work? Would both people get the same map?
@@naturegirl1999 i believe it would just be the card game mechanics and none of the other ones. that would make it pretty complicated lol so it would probably be just a regular card game the
A card game that’s online that I really like is Legends of Runeterra, try it out :D
However as mark showed thier is many ways to find exploits and if multiple people do it none of it would be fun
@@jaredlewis3001 how would an online mode not be fun because everyone does it?
I like how you can tell Mark is actually very into a game when he stops asking Lixion to do a bunch of random edits
did lixian even edit it at all ? seemed more like a rad r / nerd fiction edit to me.
@@CaydeSmax they both do it
@@CaydeSmax Ya, in the description they both did it.
@@CaydeSmax what?
The ringworm has a very specific use: you must get it killed at the campfire. So basicly just use it on the fire untill it dies then the survivors will die and you can use the fire without the risk of you'r card dying.
That makes so much sense! Jebus, I feel dumb
Wait what seriously?? I've been trying to figure out the hint they gave you about it for 2 weeks now
I thought it counted as a ring for boons
It not only kills the survivors, but it also counts as a ring for the boons.

I'm so happy Mark decided to do a longer lets play. Really reminds me of the good old days, enjoying his antics and humor. It's a nice relaxing time for knitting, he always makes me smile.

Yeah but endless squirrels is ridiculous and he want that
He is fixated on the squirrels when a lot of those totems could have helped his attacks. Still somehow manages to win tho

Idek how many times I've rewatched this and I'm just realising the value of the ringworm... it's a RING worm, it guarantees you a boon when fighting Leshy.
God, I feel dumb.
Don't. Half the little things fly over my head too. Might be giving myself too much credit, but I suspect that's in the game's design.
I was still confused over the concept of _having_ a ring because _"I haven't even seen that card/gimmick in the game yet! Where are they!?"_
'Cause like. "Duh." Ring item. Basic accessory. RPG 101. They have to show up eventually right?
>.> Yeah, no. That box that you're supposed to think outside of- my brain's inside waiting for me to figure out the combination.
And my PC is dying repeatedly waiting for me to get on with it already. TuT
That honestly might be one of the things, but you can also just earn a ring (I can't remember how I did it, though.
I get that people want him to discover the things, but this part of the game is so good I almost don't mind him playing it over and over without resolving the mysteries of the cabin
Ye I actually want him to play forever
Honestly they could stretch the first part of the game out to a whole game and it would be great.
When it said "increases its strength forever", it really meant FOREVER. Even into the later parts of the game. I have a 1 hour
15 minute video on my channel of me just level grinding my Ouroboros to 420, but I have gotten it all the way up to 681 before I got too bored. Also, the RING WORM is used at the campfire. You will eventually get the choice to risk your card getting eaten in exchange for another stat increase. You can use the ring worm, and if they eat it, every campfire from that point on within that run will always give you 4 stat increases for free since the survivors died from your ring worm. If you ever have any questions about Inscryption, I've spent over 90 hours in this game already and I would love to talk about the secrets and tips of the game.
Hey, so in the first act do the mushrooms, the globe, and the bone lord skull you find in the cabin do anything? Or are they there to just foreshadow stuff? I've played through the game already so I don't mind secrets being spoiled
Incorrect, the survivors return after one free go at the campfire.
Edit: Nevermind this comment.
@@mystic_spider No they are gone for the remainder of that run. They return the next run through and have to be ring wormed again
@@gogetenks001 you can use the ring worm, adder or my personal favorite the long elk, it CANT be a card that had the instakill sigil added tho it has to be one of those three
@@comicjustplays2065 oh didn't know that, but makes sense!
TIPS:
FEED THE RINGWORM TO THE STARVING FIRESIDE PEOPLE! It makes them vanish from the next fires so that you can keep adding stats to your card!
Both the ringworm and the ouroboros cards mean you have a RING automatically in the Leshy's last trials for BOONS.
Meld your PELT cards at the Mycologist and you can choose from a number of POWERFUL melded cards at the trader!
If you are about to lose a match with only one flame left you CAN exit to menu and then re-enter. It will start over the same fight and have mostly the same card draws but you can change your plays.
Every time that you win one of the boss battles where the skull is on the table you can go to the skull on the dresser in the cabin and it will have extra gold teeth.
If you use the "s" forward key twice or roll the mouse wheel forward twice while you are on the map it will show you all your cards and your bowl of teeth.
Sometimes you should pick new cards based solely on what their sigil is. For example the MANTIS has a multi hit sigil but if you use its multi hit sigil on say, the WOLF or hey how about a super OP ouroboros card, that will double the high powered cards attacks.
Maybe like so Mark can see?
Wrote some of these before I finished the vid.
This has to be one of the most broken strats I've seen in a while. It's all in the totems.
It’s cool how the developers named the jersey devil card “child 13.” In the legend the jersey devil was the cursed 13th child of Mother Leeds
Ohh, forgot about the Jersey Devil. Didn't notice that. Man, I love the Americana Horror style of the whole game.
So that's what it means. Thank you.
Perhaps using your items more often will help you tip the scales, not only in combat, but in solving the puzzles around the cabin. Good luck Mark, you have no idea how long this game is
Underrated effort.
About 6 more hours after he finally gets out of the cabin
Game: Shows carving on table with clock hands at 11

@DON'T I physically can't read your profile picture, it's as if someone downloaded and uploaded a jpeg 30 times
Mark: Why are you always in my first hand?
Stout: Nice. Top. Deck.
Nice Deck Bro 😏
I just realized the ultimate combo for this game, try to get oroboros, and basically give it the abilities of the ant queen as well as the warren, so that when you summon it, you get a rabbit and a worker ant in your hand, summon the worker ant and sacrifice oroboros which puts it back in your hand, summon the rabbit and then sacrifice the ant and rabbit to summon oroboros which gives you another worker ant and rabbit, and basically do this on loop until you get like frickin 200 damage in your oroboros.
have you tested this yet / has anyone?
@@jjjamie3935 I’m not entirely sure. Based on the mechanics of the abilities it should work. Unless there’s like an upper limit to the stats which there probably is, but even then it would still be op
He could have done it, he got a 1 blood cost undying creature offered but didn't take it
And the way you describe it won't work, you can't sacrifice more than 1 sigil to a card, so you could only put the rabbit or the worker ant on it, not both
@@moingame6188 or, put unkillable on black goat. Boom.

Leshy : "If you have a ring, you automatically pass"
Mark : "I do not have a ring"
The Ouroboros : "Am I a joke to you ?"
Oh. I though the ring is a secret item you need to find in the cabin. I was suspecting the globe.
I just guessed trial of the ring because I knew I was going to lose the other two trials on my first time through and I won it with the Ouroboros lol
@@DarthBiomech there is actually a physical ring you can find in the cabin that will let you pass the trial immediately but any ring cards also win it if they’re pulled
Ringworm: "...and I took that personally."
@@DarthBiomech ringworm and ouroboros also work, but most people assume it means a literal ring. there IS an actual ring in the game, but its not the only way to pass the ring trial
"None of these cards are particularly inspiring" **Has one of the most broken cards ever**
Fun fact: Ring Worm is extremely OP
Spoilers Ahead if you wanted to learn for yourself what it does:
If you sacrifice it at the campfire, the guys there will eat it then die. Then when you come back to the campfire you can just go ham and max out a card.
I'm sorry it WHAT
Huh… I guess that one thumbnail of an Oriboras with 666 and 666 wasn’t a lie after all…

Mark won't naturally get to the point of having to blind himself in one eye to get the thing he needs...
He's too good at this 😅
thats betting if he even remembers he has the option before realizing it too late
He already used the knife once, but made the wrong choice... so he doesn't realize the eye does anything mechanically outside of the game on the table.
Yeah the first time I used the knife it was available to me, I didn't realize it wouldn't show for Mark

I'm not the only one noticing the stoat looking thinner and more sickly each time Mark replays the game's story, right?
Edit: watched the full playthrough, I get why now
Yes
mark literally pointed it out in an earlier episode
doesnt the stoat turn into a tv looking thing?? it looks like its morphing slowly each time
@@madisonm820 assuming you already finished watching the whole thing, spoilers:
The stoat is just a computer guy that Leshy trapped in a card
Spoiler Alert: It's not turning sickly, it's turning into it's original form, a robot
just like the stink bug looks less and less like a bug, because it's turning into its own true form, a woman. A dead woman to be precise
"the next episode will be all about puzzle solving"
He says while the game is literally begging him to use the god damn knife
Mark: "Finally we're on our way to beating the game. FINALLY!"
Me: "Pft. Not till you use the knife you're not." Proceeds to watch Mark play the game again and again.
To be fair: I did the EXACT SAME THING in my personal playthrough even though I knew I had more puzzles to figure out I kept playing through the initial bosses BECAUSE. IT'S. JUST. FUN. lol I get that yeah we all wanna see his reaction to story progression but if he's enjoying this game like regular players did "aka not a 100% beeline through the story" THAT'S ENJOYABLE TOO
I mean let's be real when's the last time you had a card game come along and just be fun immediately without buying packs or grinding to unlock cards etc? This is just a fun unbalanced card game with a fun story; its easy to get distracted by one or the other when they're both equally engaging!
@@Secret_Takodachi Honestly, I've not beaten act 2 yet so I don't know how the rest of the game progresses, but I really prefer the act 1 version of the card game more than act 2.
I really wish they had just expanded on that first idea rather than getting all meta with the "haunted game" aspect. But who knows, maybe the ending will change my mind.
You know what'd be cool?
A prequel through the eyes of Kaycee or something, running through one of Leshy's first dungeons.
It could be more difficult, seeing as its implied that he added all of the catch up mechanics *after* repeated challenger visits.
I definitely would have been stuck in a perpetual loop if it wasn't for my fiancé. I kept choosing the normal-looking eyeballs whenever I used the knife, but then my fiancé wanted to have a turn playing and of course, he instantly picked the weirdest looking one. 🤣
I must have replayed the game about 7 times before he had a go and we progressed onto the second act. I guess I'm just a silly as Mark. 🙃
I like the whole game but honestly this is the most charming act by far. If you were going to be stuck playing an act this is the one to do it in!!
It's the first time I see the game having to send a hint about how to progress (and Mark failing to use it). USE THAT GODDAMNED KNIFE!
One thing! Just one thing! Please tell IT to me: WHY tf do I have so many fans even though no UA-camr is unprettier than I am? WORLDWIDE!!!! WHY??? Tell me, dear ev

Mark : "What does the ring worm do ?"
Practically nothing, it is only useful if you warm it multiple times by the fires of survivor camps, and if it gets snatched and eaten, the survivors will die due to the ring worm and will not be there to eat your creatures anymore, this effect also includes The Deadly Adder and The Long Elk, The Ring Worm also classifies as a Ring in the trials at the start of Leshy's battle
I didn't know the adder and long elk did that too.
@@thinkinginsidethebox6552 any animal that has natural poison like the adder and long elk can kill the survivors. The Ring Worm is an exception to this because it is a parasite and doesn't have poison but instead eats the survivors from the inside out, rupturing their bowels and multiplying in their feces

Also, the cat costs 1 blood, whereas the geck is free

Sadly the cat has a sacrifice limit of 9 times, and doesnt generate bones.
Unkillable Geck has no sacrifice limit, generates bones and returns to hand
If he had just gone with the unkillable mole as well, he could have grabbed the mole, the geck, and the oroboros... and had an infinite stacking oroboros.
