The fact he plays a card called "Cut Through Fate" to then play judgement which is the only card that keeps him alive has me pogged outta my gourd straight up zonked playthrough, the script writers were cooking with this one
8:57 wow that instantly took me back...That used to be the go-to line whenever he would face Mega Maw way back in the old Isaac days. Damn, I've been watching this guy play videogames for too long.
Haha yep. Which is in and of itself a reference to the hilariously awful voice acting of Mega Man 8. Definitely worth watching some of its cutscenes if you haven't
He got to A20 with Silent and Ironclad 3 times and Defect twice. It's his second run to A20 with Watcher. And that is not even mentioning mobile version where he at least got to A20 with Watcher.
@@xavierpaquin I mean if you want to play better and you're just starting NL is fine but if you want to play well you should try anyone else :D NL is a bad role model when it comes to StS.
15:20 Ritual Dagger didn't upgrade even though it was fatal. I guess because Lesson Learned already upgraded it for the combat? I guess it can only be upgraded once per combat.
@@PvtPotato92 That's the upgrade from Lesson Learned though, not from getting the fatal with it. It didn't show any upgrade happening when he got the fatal.
@@ricetotherescue Ritual Dagger does not increase its base damage when upgraded--it only increases the scaling damage. So it did get the +3 from getting the fatal--it just didn't get the +5 because Lesson Learned did not upgrade it within combat.
now that balatro is out on phones, time to wait for 2+ years for NL to come back to it too for complietionist++ after getting complietionist+ on mobile soon enough we're gonna be balatro guys again
So many Boss relics are capable of totally ruining your run I can't believe he keeps doing the swap Edit: Two bad relic swaps but he just keeps swapping
He's not wrong though. It's relatively rare that you'll get a boss relic that's "worse" than the starting relic of the Watcher. It's just that he has failed to account for how impactful things like "gaining potions" are to runs.
It's the joke you're referencing. It's such an obnoxious meme. BTW: not in Ohio. Edit: if I stop watching it's because there's moments where you go full douche.

Of course he's going to mentally imprint only that judgement saved him and not that cut through fate gave him the card selection he needed to win.
And then one of the rare card rewards is "Deux Ex Machina", poetic lmao
Just like he drew it up!! 🎉
I actually almost jumped out of my chair lmao
We have no way to exit stance…so we play this to exit stance. Perfect plays
His plans are measured in centuries.

that judgement draw was probably top 5 slay the spire moments of all time

3:30 Me negotiating my assailant down from murder to simply breaking my kneecap.
38:56 the craziest top deck of all time
38 ascensions without cut through fate
craziest thing he said was that he underrates third eye
if he underrates it, i tremble to think of what he overrates
he overrates echo form
judgment
Fingers crossed for iron clad runs next

8:58 megaman 8 reference? deep ass cut holyyyyy
He finally took cut through fate. Its one of the best cards
Cut Through Fate the undisputed hero of the run, never overlook this card again
I've been playing along with him and its crazy how much better he is than me. I just got to ascension 10.😅
He got to A20 with Silent and Ironclad 3 times and Defect twice. It's his second run to A20 with Watcher. And that is not even mentioning mobile version where he at least got to A20 with Watcher.
I thought I was doing good but I'm learning a lot watching him. I'm ascension 15/14 on all characters
@@xavierpaquin I mean if you want to play better and you're just starting NL is fine but if you want to play well you should try anyone else :D NL is a bad role model when it comes to StS.
Playing the same games as him is always incredibly humbling
When NL talk-a-tuahed and spired on that thang
I was pogging out my gord.
38:50 streamer luck
Still pogging after all these years
NL dropping the sage wisdom of "every fight is a chance for lesson learned"
27:50 all the tools to go infinite. Just needs draw.
Amazing run. Well played! Thanks for the company.
With a Lesson Learned the campfires can all be dedicated to healing, so taking damage to pull of an upgrade each fight seems worthwhile.
windmill strike is untakable
False
Untrue if you can build a retain/mantra deck
Also absolutely goated for champ and slime boss
Patiently waiting for him to break out his Tom Verlaine impression when he sees Fear No Evil
Sozu swap start, this is a good omen for a guy like NL.
Edit: It was not
50:56 When your body finally releases the deuce after a week of constipation
THE JUDGEMENT DRAW OMGGGG
The judgement on floor two is Slay the Spire gods blessing him
The amount of times he exits stance for no reason, it kills me.
See you next video
hahaha nice one! loving these vids. GL on ascension 20!
My man NL you're doing better but don't rest so much!
A video like this comes once in a lifetime
That Judgement draw letting him win after so many insanely risky upgrades was just absurd
5:06 Discovering edging for the first time
35:40 NL instant Buddhism conversion
27:48 me when I'm activating the sleeper agent
2:21 “that’s my purse NL” bobby said calmly
26 second pilled. Let's go.
24:43
Yet again he exits wrath before playing all his attacks. WHY EGGMAN? Brother if this is bait, it's working
Edit: also 28:13
10:27 me when I’m no longer depressed
NL refuses to wear the slaver's collar
For some reason the slay the spire music reminds me of the ultros opera battle theme from FFVI
huge
we love to see the luck and grit
That judgement draw left me jaw dropped
he really went and did a destiny draw like this is yu gi oh.
That top deck judgment was some dr. Strange endgame type of shit
Am I crazy to think that sadistic nature could've went crazy with waive of the hand?
I think in this case it’s worth the space in the deck/hand, but not actually worth the gold required to buy it in the shop.
Sadistic nature is fun, but it's never worth buying unless you are really pressed. It's way more fun in a good silent poison deck
THAT JUDMENT !!!! THIS HAS TO BE A WIN !
Surprised he took Consecrate. I was convinced he had a beef with the card.
ngl it's a worse Conclude so I don't blame him

15:20 Ritual Dagger didn't upgrade even though it was fatal. I guess because Lesson Learned already upgraded it for the combat? I guess it can only be upgraded once per combat.
it did, in the next combat it is doing 18 damage. I don't think lesson learned upgrades it during the combat.

@@xDesolateStudios Ahhh you're right. I don't take it often so I forgot that was how it worked. Thanks!
He boutta do it fr
Let's go, boys!
Crazy that he knows he'll see me next time
YES I just laid down, couldn’t have timed it better myself. Thank you
He’s doing it
I still don't think he understands how exiting calm gives you energy to stance dance.
39:38 buddy should TALK TUAH psychiatrist
incredible run
this egg better do the other two characters or his cracked status gets revoked
IM GOING NUTS ON THE TABLE MODE
Bro really hates sIavers chains
wake up honey, NL's new watcher STS run dropped.

Am I crazy or did all 3 most recent "obtain a random boss relic for the starting one" have been sozu?
nah, he got runic pyramid recently.. last video, i think
not all, but its a lot of sozu
Took apparition.
Didn't play apparition.
No one was attacking on the turn he drew it
mods next?
now that balatro is out on phones, time to wait for 2+ years for NL to come back to it too for complietionist++ after getting complietionist+ on mobile
soon enough we're gonna be balatro guys again
Stop playing Tantrum for damage on the Spaghetti monster unless it's the last card, it gives it so much block!
You horribly over rate bowling bash
The game low-key hates NL/ it's like third time in this series when he got White Elephant or Ornithopter with Sozu :D
Silent next!!!
'I gotta get rid of this innate curse' but has gambling chip lol
Do the heart please
Wrath tuah, erupt on that thang
