I watched this done by speedrunners and people with 100s of hours into Kenshi. Taking into account you were absolutely green 1-2w ago, its a really impressive run. There may be no carcrashes and falling over, but your edit and storytelling keeps getting better and mixed with the chill music its a fantastic watch!
Kenchi base building is weird. You can walk the entire world and get ignored by most random travellers, and the factions all stick pretty much to their territories. But the moment you put down blueprints for your base, every faction knows instantly where you are and wants to grind you to dust, no matter what faction territory you're in.
It makes sense to me, kinda... You go from being a normal wandering person into technically a faction leader, even if your faction is just you and your buddies lol
would you not notice a random shack appearing in your figurative front yard? that's possibly a weak drifter trying to get on their feet, and we can't have that in Kenshi
Very insightful comment. I watched this whole video thinking it was a new torsolo video by Ambiguous Amphibian until I read this. Please open your channel membership so I can subscribe to you and support your efforts to label Kenshi videos as torsolo or not. Thank you!
Capture the bug man and put him in a cage in one of the jails stealthily. That should reset your Relationship with whatever factions jail, you put them in.
That's a hell of a double edged sword. Crawling through the world with no limbs as a skeleton is hella dangerous in Kenshi with the #HolyNation being as strong as it is, though cannibals not caring about you and not needing to eat is a decent advantage.
ya really even as a skelle with all limbs the only TRUE foe is the HN thoes bone heads hate you for existance and then you got your own deranged kin who will attack on sight. though if ya can get a nice one on won chat with some once important people
Nearly all factions have -100 relation with that mod so the Holy Nation would attack you regardless. Choosing Skeleton was all advantages but also necessary to avoid being picked up by a cannibal upon spawning in.
i dont know if someone commented this but if someone wants to do this challenge i have some tips: first, you should train thievery in the cannibal village that you start in(just open a chest and steal things and put them back in), second there is a way batter route to do than just going south, wich can be really dangerous, specially if you are not savescumming, the route is to first go to the cannibal capital and in the building where the grand wizard is there is always an arm(wich lets you heal and more importantly lockpick), then you want to go to the suspicious lab wich is not that far away, in this lab there is a lot of cannibals but they still dont attack you, and if you go to the last floor(the one with cages), you can lockpick the crates and there is always two scout legs(in vanilla at least, some mods change it), and then from that point onwards it becomes way easier. TLDR: Go to the cannibal capital to get an arm and then to the suspicious lab to get two scout legs.
I'm pretty sure there's no way one could survive as a non-skel. Also, it's cheesy, but there's a money printer you could make using hemp and turning it into cats. It'll take a long time, but it might be the most efficient way to get out of debt. No one will take your bounties because you're enemies to everyone who accepts bounties.
It's much faster to level thieving by stealing from someone on the ground when they regain consciousness it pretty much works the same way just with less carpal tunnel you pause when they are conscious but "playing dead" then just spam click to steal something from them if you succeed put it back and try to steal it again this starts of incredibly fast as at low thieving you rarely succeed so you can sometimes spam click and gain dozens of levels in a seconds Also their are free skeleton repair beds in Black Desert City although the -100 to all factions means you might have trouble getting to use those beds unless you could sneak in and somehow use it without anyone bothering you
A nugget enters your humble prosthetics shop, takes a set of limbs and proceeds to sprint to every store in the continent grabbing everything he can off the shelves before dashing away from the guards at 40mph.
I think you built your house next to a frequently used path which is why you got constantly pestered. Built my base near Squin specifically away from the roads and only events came
And I thought I had a hard start 8-((... First time for 4 years playing the game. So I thought (Stupidly!), _"I know. I'll start off as a one armed person in the desert. What could possibly go wrong?"_ Spawned in the desert. There's a crap load of sand here!? And as soon as I started running, I bumped into a _gang_ of about 6 of those spider things. I didn't hang about to find out what they were so just ran. And in doing so, I picked up two more spiders. _"Oh! Joy!"_ Stupidly, and without fully getting to grips with the mouse buttons, Instead of pressing the middle one to turn around to see where I was going, I pressed the RMB and turned back into the growing gang of spiders. After spotting a number of red numbers flashing up, I realised what I'd done so managed to get away from them. _"Jeesh! That was dumb!"_ With my spider _friends_ in tow, I managed to get to a city. Don't know which one I didn't stop to see the _"Welcome to...."_ whatever sign that may or may not be at the front gate. I digress. The guards took out the spiders so I looed their bodies for meat and claws. I was just about to go into the city when some bandits(?) turned up. I watched the guards take them out and when all clear, looted the dead bodies. Got some nice stuff _(Anything is nice when you've got nothing!)_ and went into the first shop. Now I was in the inventory selling all my items and thought, _"I'll get some bandages. I'm sure I'll need some."_ And as I was doing that I noticed my character was moving! _"Well... That's odd."_ I thought. Until I realised, I'd fainted due to the hits I'd taken from those spider things. So the guard took me outside the shop, and dumped me in the street. The HUD on my screen said. DYING! Which I took to be pretty serious. Anyway. After a couple minutes, a nice person came along and started to treat my wounds. _"How damn decent and nice of them to help out a complete stranger!"_ How wrong was I? He was a slaver. Now, some 20 in game hours into my first game of kenshi for 4 years, and I'm in a cage and unconscious. But I'd rather be like that, then limbless, in debt up to my eyeballs and in a canibal encampment
i love/hate kenshi. its a great game, until you realize theres a hole in your solid perimeter wall and the holy nation can just walk the f right in. usually when you think youre safe now that you got that nice gate built
Build a wall, close the gates, tell unit to go outside the wall, unit walks through thin gap. Try to close the gap, can't build wall there, demolish original wall, build new wall. Unit can still escape, there is now a new gap
If you search kenshi building tips, you'll find some youtube shorts teaching how to use the shift f11 menu. You can use that menu to move stuff around after it's built, just remember to save before you move stuff (just in-case you mess up and need to reset) and after as well to update the navigation for the npcs. Good luck!
I think there is a glitch where you can give over the same person with a bounty, a bunch of times to collect said bounty over and over again and/or improve your faction reputation.
This is one of the most entertaining and well edited videos I've watched. Genuinely. If I had the time to make videos and edit them, I feel like our videos would be extremely similar. I like your choice of music and your banter. You earned a sub good sir.
Great storytelling! Very AmbigiousAmphibian-esque (which like everyone else has commented on lmao). Girth vs Torsolo, why not Girth AND Torsolo. Whole map would have no chance 🫡
before i watch this, i will tell you, yes, yes you can survive the hardest start, as you have a save and load function that allows you to play differently if things do not go your way.
Doesnt soud like hardest start since skeletons dont need to eat. Try again as a starved potato Hive drone worker in Foglands. If you get lucky you might get to Mongrel on hundreth try.
Ngl it is a lil sad to see ya just whimp out and do the challenge with a Skeleton. Can I ask did you try with a human at least? It seems like it'd be mega hard
i did a solo torso challenge in venge once. My dude is now called the 'Maimed One' and is one a path of revenge against the Savant who did this too him. Quite an entertaining playthrough.
I don't even think you need to hide from the black dragon ninjas, I had my base raided and all they did was stand in my building doing nothing as I went about my business, no sneaking. God forbid I had any food in any container cause that was like gold for them, run in, steal it, and leave.
i played this challenge and tryed to get off the debt but bilion is too much. i would probably be able to make 10 mil but the game start maker dont want to do the 10 mil version
Thanks for getting me addicted to Kenshi! Having a blast with it. Spend yesterday all day being a slave and cheesing my lockpicking. Then I started freeing the others slaves for an Uprise (read: distraction) so I could get out of there. It was awesome! :D
Editing Ep. 2 right now :) Should be out by next Saturday (Feb 24th)
Can you do that challenge without stealing?
They think size matters, but Girth knows. Now thats good writing!

They just open the map and see the location of your base
would you not notice a random shack appearing in your figurative front yard? that's possibly a weak drifter trying to get on their feet, and we can't have that in Kenshi
you could've gone to burn's tower - that has a free skeleton repair bed
Yeah, without Burn's tower (or one of the other free skelly beds) this challenge is going to be excruciating.
Had the same thought.
Though that too, but our boi is green, no way he'd know such a obscure location
he literally said that he didnt know of any repair beds he could use for free 15:17
This is no torsolo
I binge watched so many video of that dude i nearly went insane and had to stop.
The greatest! Torsolo!
Very insightful comment. I watched this whole video thinking it was a new torsolo video by Ambiguous Amphibian until I read this.

@@junova7503 yea that's true, I was just stating in general and ignoring the modified relationship part :P
@@junova7503 yeah good point, you don't have hands so when the cannibals cage you it's game over
Playing OSRS with this in the background, I was so confused when the music started up lmao. Gread video dude
Solid. I wouldn't say its the hardest start though, being that you don't need food!
Yea first thing i tought. Removing hunger makes it so much easier at start, since you dont need to worry about time pressure.
When that RuneScape music started I thought I accidentally opened ours on my phone
i thought it was stardew valley music
Both are in the video :)@@isaaclegendz4275

It's easy to be a thief when you run 36 mph and can turn invisible by chopping your own legs off

Would have been a more interesting challenge to start with full body, massive debt, but a race that needs to eat, and thieving is forbidden.
your chill editing and paced commentary is a breath of fresh air
At 15min in, there's a free Skeleton Bed I think at Burn's tower iirc. Been about a year, but that's what I remember.
I like how you built on the Torsolo start with the beginning debt. Great video and hope to see more from you!
I think you built your house next to a frequently used path which is why you got constantly pestered. Built my base near Squin specifically away from the roads and only events came
then ya got me who build a base in the middle of the dead zone, away from all the people covered in acid rain and safe from all but the spiders.
@@lechking941 if your characters can handle it, why not
@@AaronCorrthe only problem is the no rock or anything :\ but ya got plenty of iron and all. and my base is overall acid rain covered.
And I thought I had a hard start 8-((...

The music throughout the video was very well chosen and fit nicely
I'm this close to buying Kenshi, your content is great!
It's a good game. If you don't mind grindy mechanics then go for it.
i love/hate kenshi. its a great game, until you realize theres a hole in your solid perimeter wall and the holy nation can just walk the f right in. usually when you think youre safe now that you got that nice gate built

Bad Luck Brian is a bit more steely today... Great video!
The tale of Girth the Bionic Bandit was surprisingly engrossing.
RuneScape music + Kenshi, it’s too powerful 😫😫 I love you
So what exactly did our boy Girth do???
jaywalked
held hands.
Lived
Gave cat lon to idea to oppress the humans.
Some old-school RuneScape tunes playing and I was thinking I was crazy.
The true hardest start is doing this without playing a skeleton. Great video regardless.
The osrs music gave me flashbacks lol
Oh cool. I didn't know there were still videos on this game.
I think there is a glitch where you can give over the same person with a bounty, a bunch of times to collect said bounty over and over again and/or improve your faction reputation.

Torsolo was a human in the desert
Guy playing Kenshi Dororo style, what a beast
Sims, stardew, RuneScape. This soundtrack slaps
The skeleton bed in Burn's Tower at the Floodlands is free to use
before i watch this, i will tell you, yes, yes you can survive the hardest start, as you have a save and load function that allows you to play differently if things do not go your way.
10/10 storytelling 🙂
Burns tower was actually not that far south of where you spawned… free skeleton companion and he has a skeleton bed you can use
Doesnt soud like hardest start since skeletons dont need to eat. Try again as a starved potato Hive drone worker in Foglands. If you get lucky you might get to Mongrel on hundreth try.
I noticed that you weren't hostile with the hno outlaws, you could use that to your advantage
This gives me an idea.
As if kenshi didn’t have a slow enough start 🤣
ah yes the spiritual successor to torsolo
Where is shaquil oatmeal!!
Burn’s tower in the Floodlands has a skeleton bench
I rage quited this game!
This reminds me of Torsolo 😂
Ngl it is a lil sad to see ya just whimp out and do the challenge with a Skeleton. Can I ask did you try with a human at least? It seems like it'd be mega hard
Love the sims music at the start
Since hes aggro it prob wouldnt have worked, but savant has free bed
The sims 3 music in the beginning of the video 😭😭😭
There is a free skeleton bed in burns tower
i did a solo torso challenge in venge once. My dude is now called the 'Maimed One' and is one a path of revenge against the Savant who did this too him. Quite an entertaining playthrough.
Love this kind of content good shit long live girth
Loving the osrs soundtrack
Moar Kenshi!
Ah yes. Cannibals, impossible odds, Kenshi. I too thought Stardew Valley Overture lol
What mod allows you to stack building materials?
Yes more kenshi content!
Now do this as anything but a skeleton
Can’t wait for the next vid the kenshi is awesome
looking forward mate
Kenshi is the best
i'd like it very much if a kind person would let me know of the song on this minute mark. 07:30
I love the stardew valley music
bro put arms and legs on with his mouth ayo?
Anyone know what music is playing at 0830?
Started as a skeleton... too easy...
Runescape music offset it though
Girth is a though guy🥺🥺
Girth Brooks
yooooo more kenshi
Can you put your mod pack please id like to use it
I don't even think you need to hide from the black dragon ninjas, I had my base raided and all they did was stand in my building doing nothing as I went about my business, no sneaking. God forbid I had any food in any container cause that was like gold for them, run in, steal it, and leave.
being a skeleton makes it easier
Can i get your mod list?
gib modlist
No
Missed opportunity you should have named him Jim
Earthworm Jim
Or Gas since both Solid and Liquid were already taken 😂
well the thumbnail stated "impossible" so you clearly didn't survive
I like ur content can u please stoo saying Jesus Christ and Gdamn that would be sweet lol
i played this challenge and tryed to get off the debt but bilion is too much. i would probably be able to make 10 mil but the game start maker dont want to do the 10 mil version
Stardew valley music was a mistake. It was distracting as hell.
Sims 3 ass music
🕶️🐹🔪,
No.
Why do to have so much cats in game
PLEASE CONTINUE THIS AS A SERIES, THIS IS COOL!
LETSS GOOO MORE KENSHIIII!!!!!!
This is masochist gameplay!
Thanks for getting me addicted to Kenshi! Having a blast with it. Spend yesterday all day being a slave and cheesing my lockpicking. Then I started freeing the others slaves for an Uprise (read: distraction) so I could get out of there. It was awesome! :D
Keep on using stealth to increase level is to OP
Kenshi music is so good, why put runescape over it 😔
Let's go Girth!
I like this bc my gamer name is gurth. Not to be confused with girth. Or girthey. Its gurth, or gurthee. Youre welcome for this useless infortmation
I think your gonna have to do bounties until a faction stops hating you after that you could use their shops and sell stuff you make, stole or looted
