A few quick notes: 1.) I don’t think it would have mattered if I took Damned Vigor into the Conjunct fight because the aura hits multiple times. I’m pretty sure the first hit would have triggered the mutation and I would have gotten hit another time a few frames later so I still would have lost. 2.) I laughed out loud when I watched the footage and saw that I recycled that amulet at the beginning of the second run. I must have still been in the mindset of the previous one since it ended so quickly. 3.) Join our Discord if you’re interested! discord.gg/EJZyUDEa5f
I took a break from Dead Cells for years never getting beyond 0BC. I got back into it and I'm at 4BC now. I think videos like this are precisely what I need to refine my decision making. This video is a gem for me right now and I am kindly asking you to keep these coming!! I wanna try to vary my builds and seeing more "run examples" where you explain your thought process is perfect content 😁
Hey Andy, congrats on hitting 4BC! Big jump from 0BC. I'm planning on making some other videos similar to this in the future, so hopefully you'll find some good info in there when they come out. Good luck with your runs!
@DisappointedGiant Thanks man! I just beat 5BC and I definitely have your content to thank. Thanks for the response and lookin forward to the next vid 😄
Great upload! I love how you keep good humor while "getting absolutely humbled". I haven't been playing as much DC since the summer, but your videos are always a pleasure and make me want to get back in there!
I love watching your vids with commentary. I think the route you took is like 80% happens with every dead cells streamers. But this one definitely went not as expected! And double penetration in prisoner’s quarters is hilarious ngl
Hey, love your videos. I always appreciate all the 5bc runs you analyze (or just talk about whatever, which I enjoy just as much). Just thinking about whether you could do an enemy tier list, as I haven’t seen any other UA-camr do it, maybe for good reason 😅. Might be a lot, but it’d be fun hearing you talk about your frustrating experiences with certain ones, and what you think of the designs of some of them. Either way, thanks for making these wonderful videos!
Hey Vulcan, thank you for the comment and support! I'm glad you're enjoying the 5BC commentary videos. I recorded a bunch of footage this past weekend that I'll be posting sometime this week, so more to come. That's an interesting idea for an enemy tier list! I have tons of footage in general but also saved clips of a bunch of my deaths (125 so far lol) so it might be cool to break some of those down and talk about enemy patterns and frustrations. I'll put it on the list and will see how it feels to either flesh the idea out a bit or do a tier list since that might also help players who might not be comfortable or familiar with attack patterns. Appreciate the suggestion!
Yay more content from the Dis a GOATed Giant! On another note, could you possibly do a deeper build guide video? Like far too often I am well into a run and only to realise I should've gotten a better ranged weapon or turret. I am just a 2BC noob so maybe this is completely unnecessary. But for me the Cavern is impossible without a shield (god damn arbiters) and so how do I keep my build strong but flexible and what skills complement what weapons / biomes / enemies? For example, electrodynamics is godsend for the sewers cuz I can stop worrying about the kamikaze.
Hey! This is a really good suggestion but I'm not quite sure how I'd go about making something like that since there are so many variables between weapons and enemies. What you said is an excellent ideal for builds: "strong but flexible". When I think of a well-rounded build I think of one that has some kind of a core concept or mechanic while leaving enough room to shift things if needed. With your example it might be making sure that if you choose to add a shield to a build for the Cavern it won't throw off the balance of the other slots so you're not losing a lot of DPS or utility. Or if you're going to the Sewers but don't have Electrodynamics making sure there's another option for Kamizake panic; even something like an Infantry Grenade or Tesla Coil would take them out. I've broken down a bunch of these kinds of mechanics here and there over some of my other videos but haven't done a dedicated build clinic that talks about some of the more nuanced things that happen over runs and over time. I think that's what Kwalatie was going for in their comment suggesting a video like this but it might be helpful to have a more detailed outline or guidance on build flexibility. I'm wondering if having another commentated video that specifically talks about those things in the context of a runmight do the trick. Thank you for the suggestion, I'm going to think about this one. And good luck with 2BC!
@@DisappointedGiant Thanks DG, I was thinking, why not go about it affix-based? Like this might be a completely novice observation, but imo freeze-based items (Ice-grenade, Frost-blast, etc.) scale very well with heavy-duty survival melees like the Bsword or SymmLance. But doesn't scale so well with the BonkBat because it doesn't root or stun. But then it also complements the off-colors Vorpan, Panchaku, and AssDagger because you can freeze, reposition yourself and land the crit. Skill-wise, grenades kinda have no effect but turrets literally negate the effect by unfreezing the enemy. Again, this might be complete bullshit infodump cuz I am 2BC scrub but I have 4 reasons why I would love a video on this. 1. You get to talk about synergies and affixes in more depth which might be helpful for beginners. 2. May encourage players to try out the different items in actual gameplay, because they know when/where to use it. 3. Kinda go more into the dynamics of pairing colorless items. 4. I get to hear you ramble about dead cells for 2 hours as I get plonked around by the HOTK :)))
@@rochib21 Some good points here - it sounds like you're not giving yourself enough credit! One of the things I'll do sometime is use the random option at shops because there are some items like Ice Grenade/Frost Blast or Smoke Bomb/Corrupted Power that can fit in any color build.
Unfortunate death. So the thing is, when you root conjuctivus, either with bear trap or root grenade, while its charging, it will continue the charge immidiately after the status ends. If you would be one more meter away from her, you wouldnt get damaged. It do be like this.
Oh, totally. That happens with Concierge sometimes, too - sometimes he'll get out of the root and immediately jump even though it doesn't look like he will. I didn't even see the beginning of the charge animation with Conjunct, got absolutely rocked XD
I've lost hundreds of runs so can usually shake it off at this point, especially when it's as ridiculous as this was. Either that or Dead Cells is making me slowly losing my mind lol
Good tip! I had already cleared the malaise which makes the enemies stop spawning in, otherwise I would have done that. I do that sometimes to get the 60 door or clear curses.
I’ve been a huge fan for a while; recently made this as w clips channel with the intention of posting runs woth commentary once i get a capture card. i was wondering if you have any suggestions for getting off the ground once i do?
Nice! Great channel name, too. :D Once you get your cap card I would recommend recording some practice runs so you can get a good idea on how your videos will look and sound. If you're using OBS you'll be able to set individual volume levels so you you can get a good balance between your commentary being clear over the game audio. I mixed the music too loud when I put out my beginner's guide so I've tried to work on having a better balance since then. Learn from my mistake! Also, recording practice runs will help you get more comfortable with talking and playing if that's not something you usually do. Sometimes I'll either watch some of my old runs or I'll play live and will just talk to myself without recording anything so I can continue to get more comfortable with commentary. I'll just say what's happening like, "I'm going to recycle this Pure Nail since I can't use it in a Tactics build. Oh sweet, here's a secret in the ground, let's see what we get... alright, it's some infected food, I'm going to leave that on the map in case I need it later", etc. Might feel strange at first but it could be helpful if you haven't done commentary before. A bunch of other stuff is coming to mind, too, but something I keep coming back to is making sure that you're having fun while you're making your videos. IMO being proud of what you're doing and enjoying the process for yourself is a more important metric than views/likes/subs. If you care about what you're doing it will come through and other people will pick up on it and connect with your videos. If you want to talk about anything else or have more specific questions I'm be happy to chat here as things come up or you can hit me up directly - I'm at disappointedgiant both on Discord and GMail. Good luck with getting things in motion!
@@DisappointedGiant Thanks a ton! I probably won't be able to get started until January, at which point I can actually give making proper videos and youtube in general the attention I want to, but I'll definitely practice commentary. I'll be happy if people see and enjoy what I make; subscribers and monetization aren't goals for me. I have a couple video ideas beyond run commentary as well, but I'm not going to start there just yet.
The difficulty spike is real! Teleporting enemies can be tough at first and you take more damage in 4BC. I hope you can adjust and end up having some great runs.

So many little bits of foreshadowing in this video, it's wild.

YES DO IT NOW!!!
@DisappointedGiant some thing happend to me last night after i watched your video
😂😂😂 Loved the video. Sorry you got boned with Conjunct!

So close to 9k!
Heck yeah! Give us more
Hey, you know when you get curse and have no enemys left to kill, wait for the spawning enemys of the malaise, they count for curses too
