In version 1 of save Eugene, the things the npcs say about him not coming back to the island himself after getting your help... make much more sense because they're true.
@@idk-vx7vm Perma-aggressive. Aggro was a term inspired by rpgs, in which a mob would chase/Focus a target, either based on the range at which it'd get pissed off and go after you, or abilities that forcefully keep attention on you.
I love to imagine this from Eugene's perspective. He sees his friend, who's probably only done normal human stuff his whole life, get cracked up on the power of friendship run the island quests, out speed a train and pull off some top tier anime moves no human has pulled off before, just to make sure his friend survives. Now that is a bond stronger than steel.
Love how Charles was getting stuck very easily and taking a while to get unstuck, but the more he does, he gets stuck less and gets free more quickly, it's like he's learning to adapt.
My personal favorite Eugene quotes: “Yeah baby!” “We’re coming for you, Charles!” “It’s him, it’s him!” “Light him up, light him up!” “Careful, don’t let the gun overheat!” “He’s not taking enough damage; get some head shots!”
A major congrats on saving the lad! Kinda humorous that the ultimate weapon against Charles was simply the dock you landed at. Seeing the community dissect the game further since my original run a few weeks back and coming up with these crazy strategies is honestly incredible. I wish I knew you could restore Eugene's health by repairing the train to max. That would have made the final fight WAY less grueling! Thanks for suffering in the long game to ensure the GOAT survived!
Eugene feels like that cool uncle who always buys you the best Christmas presents, and lets you eat as much candy as you want whenever your parents aren't looking.
With the whole “Charles going on walkies” and then the idea of getting too far from the beach which would make him teleport, just connects something in my mind that tells Me that he Charles has separation anxiety.
I'd imagine that getting some more armor upgrades might've helped make that final fight a bit easier. If Eugene's death is coded to happen once the train drops below 75% health, then reducing how much health a given hit depletes might have provided some more wiggle room.
One of the best things that I like most about Spiff is his unerring good humor and sportsmanship in the face of repeated setbacks. Chillest dude on the web.
Imagine if they added a secret ending where you go through all this effort to save Eugene, only for him to die of a heart attack or something immediately after Charles is defeated. All that pain and effort for nothing.
18:24 Charles is a form of hermit-spider of sorts, yeah. It seems like they've been a consistent problem, given the temple hints that they've long been a major issue to the point that past civilizations made a method with which to keep the species at bay, but I think the only real reason Charles is so strong is because he's both been able to absorb a lot of the power of the eggs, he's grown a fair bit from hatching, and he's gotten himself a _very_ nicely armored shell. His face really would be his only weak point, since the internals of the engine contain his own internals, likely grown to fit the train by now. The legs are probably able to be lost and regrown, likely armored (though the main body wouldn't be since they seek out shells, the legs would since they have to be outside) and seemingly don't contain any sensitive parts, likely including much feeling in them - just enough to know where they are and what they're touching, or at least if they are touching something. Not enough for the bullets to really help. The fire probably helps slow him through a combination of fucking with his biological hydraulics (if he does indeed work like a normal spider), and by heating the entire train body around him which absolutely cannot be particularly enjoyable. If he were some mythical true hybrid species that were part train, it's likely that he would also be able to set down on the tracks and use them, which - while it would be very terrifying to see an engine rush you and then stand up on spider legs and sprint - doesn't make much sense since he's already so fast. I also doubt there's any room in there for him to actually retract his legs. The most surprising thing about Charles from a biological standpoint is honestly his face, which both seems very resistant to damage (not too surprising for a creature of that size) and oddly humanoid, although it does display a conventional predatory eye setup. That, and the train whistle, which while clearly mainly a stylistic choice makes little sense for him to be able to use it otherwise. All that said - monsters appear to be commonplace in this world, given the guy we play as literally has a profession around hunting and killing problematic ones, and also Barry's existence. The true question is whether they're simply odd creatures, such as I've detailed above, or if they really are something supernatural - which might well explain the train horn thing.
I don’t know about Charles being a hermit-spider, those hunt with webs, Charles behavior is much closer to that of a huntsman spider. It has a territory (island) and will charge at anything is sees with blazing speed until he catches it. Now that I think about it, Charles would probably be MORE terrifying if he used "webs", given his train aesthetic. Imagine if he could make webs that were fake train rails and connect them to actual train rail to make trains go directly into its lair. Then, like a real spider, it could eat its own rails, making it impossible to track down the missing trains. Also, the face and the horn make me believe that even if the spider-train form isn’t it’s normal form, the actual spider is definitely something supernatural. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have spider weaknesses and strength, Charles definitely has the speed of a huntsman spider scaled up so I don’t think a real life Charles could chase you for very long, given those spider generally don’t have to chase for long since they usually catch their prey at the first attack. Edit: I also once read somewhere that spider breathes trough huge tubes and that it prevented spiders from being very large since having respiratory pipes that big would make oxygen leak out. So Charles is either supernatural or has a respiratory system different from other spiders
@@letendreelliott8778 I'm not saying he's just purely a scaled-up form of an existing creature, just that he does have some attributes attributable to a lot of creatures, and that's one given the shell. It would be very interesting to imagine that he could perhaps make false rails, and given the properties of spider silk they likely _could_ take the weight of a train, or be strung across the track and cut one open as it stops it in place. He likely can't chase for too long a time also due to the simple fact that his particular shell is clearly rather heavy, even if the train's internals are mostly gone. For the false rail thing, I wonder if perhaps he and his species adapt to their environment or a chosen facet of it, such as his train covering? In a supernatural way, perhaps feeding off of some collective consciousness interpretation of what it mimics, but that would also explain his whistle. As for the respiratory thing, if any spider had a genetic mutation causing the tubes to be multiplied, using a cluster of small ones rather than one large one, then that growth cap would be easily surpassed. That said, I don't know if there are other limitations keeping them small, but it would be possible to adapt at least that aspect to solve its issues.
Yall talking about the biology of a demon train is so cool. I love overthinking shit like this, especially trying to figure out how XYZ creature would actually work in our world. I am very impressed with the amount of detail everyone is putting in. Great job all around.

Can we just admire how actually realistic and terrifying it looks when each of Charles' individuak legs moves when he's trying to get over that thing on the bridge? 4:00
Less than a minute in and he already called it "Giga-Charles". Giga Monty has left a powerful and lasting impression on this channel and its community, and it shows. I love it.
@@hayond656 it's a version of the character Monty from FNAF Security Breach that has simplified AI that usually stands atop a ticket hut with a spotlight but when the area de-loads, he falls down to the floor and a new monty is spawned when it re-loads again. getting caught by a staff-bot triggers him to instantly path straight towards you and kill you, no jumping or hiding, and even seeing you inside of freddy.
Sadly I'm pretty sure he's already said in livestreams that Eugene is NOT coming back, EVER after people kept spamming him about it. He seemed not to be too anoyed tho so maybe he does it anyway for the lols. Either way it's obvious it was his intention for Eugene saving to be impossible without cheats, but he is a good sport usually.
I don´t think he is annoyed, it's just that if you are a creator, the worst thing you can do is to keep changing the lore of your game according to your fanbase.
It'd be especially fun if he added a cutscene in for accomplishing this while changing nothing else about how the game plays. you literally have to play the game so incorrectly that there's no way for your average player to do this. Maybe slap a very big "This is not canon. Eugene dies always and forever" at the very end.
Eugene is canonically the Flash. Not only can he run faster than any other NPC in a video game, he also just stands there when running away would be the best strategy.
I'm so sorry to have sent you on this torturous journey, lol but its been an adventure. Glad to have helped you, one of the coolest things I have gotten to do. I am finishing my video on it too, hope you like it.
@@orenashes3961 Unfortunately ended up hurt for a few months. But im doing alot better and making more videos again and streaming too. Thank you so much for asking 💓
I think it's absolutely amazing that you can keep Eugene til the end of the game. Thought it was a hardcoded cutscene, but no. Probs to you for saving our man!
Eugene definitely should return in a sequel as mecha Eugene. Miraculously surviving his encounter with Charles, Eugene under went surgery where multiple organs and limbs were replaced with machine parts. OR just had a thought, he becomes an AI for the protagonists train.
“I survived the “Saving Eugene by standing on a fishing dock for hours” stream and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt”. Also shout out to the stream chat for constantly shouting out Eugene’s voicelines anytime Spiff would meet his untimely demise. *”ITS HIM! ITS HIM!“*
The AI for Charles is better than any of the animatronics in SB 💀 (I know the environments are very different, open world vs enclosed pizza plex, but it's still very impressive on two star's part)
Causing Eugene to duplicate, then running away painfully knowing that you will spend 15 years trying to stuck charles in the ocean, run for quests, knowing fully the chances you will get 2 seconds of freetime before giga-unkillable-always seeking you-Charles. Than get a hell Charles that will kill hours of progress you had, then repeat until the Eugene you clones finally survives and you win. Aka letting Eugene survive the whole game(:.
This might sound contradictive but Spiff has one of those channels that's both entertaining and fun to watch but also so comforting to fall asleep to as well. Literally all his videos are great, 24/7 lmao
Glad Spiff took Eugenes sage advice in the boss fight and got more headshots, cause Charles was just not taking enough damage otherwise. Made it worth saving the legend
You have become my favourite video game channel. While I struggle to finish a game, you break them. And to top it off, the vibe and energy is so chill and cozy
I like how i was first pretty afraid of charles and sorta had some difficulty sleeping for the first few night. But with more and more people trying to break choo choo charles, now i saw charles i was like "Heeeey, charles, there you are" :D
@@itsasecrettoevery1 nope, i am just stupid and have really low tolerance to horror stuff lmao Its not that i cant sleep because of nightmare either, i just cant close my eye haha XD
I find it funny that someone asked if you’re going to play Hollow Knight on stream when you were making a new save while in an old save to “combine” them, which is something used in all glitches speedruns in Hollow Knight.
It gives really neat insight on how the game is built, though. I had assumed Eugene on the train was coded to be only enabled during his segment, and would be disabled if you sequence-broke. The fact he's only thrown off/disabled when the train gets under a certain health threshold is really interesting :)
SO INFINITELY GLAD we get more spiff coverage on this amazing game, loved the first video and watched it so many times lol. Giga Charles is who I live for 💞
I just watched the other attempt a couple of hours ago and was disappointed it'd required cheating. This is exactly what I wanted to see, posted close enough to the instant I wanted it.
Hey Spiff, just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful content over the past while and I hope you and your loved ones have a very good Christmas or December 25th depending on your traditions! You’ve given my partner and i some pretty dope moments and your speedrun skills always impress the hell outta me. Keep up the fantastic work!
I'll be honest...I did not plan on watching every second of this. Originally, I just wanted to know if saving Eugene could be done. But only a few seconds into the video I had to know how the challenge was even going to work and if it could be done. Then I wanted to know all the setbacks and how much resolve he actually had to finish what he started. This video was definitely a good watch.
Only the people from twitch know how long this took.. and how spigg got left walkies when he walked away to make a sandwich- Overall, super entertaining two streams, Spiff! I got to gamble my balls away in style.. and in fear of Giga Charles

@@thraexgladiator yeah last time it happend was in starting days of gta 5
Everyone just hated micheals gardner
if a death is scripted, people try to find away around it.
@@Totally_Bonkers if a death is scripted
Then the game shall be broken into a million peices to save the npc
- Poet who dunno how to ryme
Charles is just a misunderstood train without any friends, and all he did was hug Eugene
Yeah
lol 😂
Yea he hugged him real tight and gave him a bunch of *toothy* kisses 🥰🥰🥰
hey remind me why we killed him idk about you but he doesn't seem to be hurting any one
@@I-like-cows yeah all he does is take out a cult and their leader other than that just a couple of scary jokes
Glad Spiff took Eugenes sage advice in the boss fight and got more headshots, cause Charles was just not taking enough damage otherwise. Made it worth saving the legend
You didn't only save Eugene but also found his brother :)
You have become my favourite video game channel. While I struggle to finish a game, you break them. And to top it off, the vibe and energy is so chill and cozy
Maybe the real Eugene was the friends we made along the way
Likely
Eugene living gives us hope that maybe we too can survive whatever life throws at us
@@RedB4048 twins: 😀
We just might need a little help :)
@@RedB4048 not too high in requirements.
I like how i was first pretty afraid of charles and sorta had some difficulty sleeping for the first few night. But with more and more people trying to break choo choo charles, now i saw charles i was like "Heeeey, charles, there you are" :D
"Do you wanna go for a walk in the beach? :D"
younger sibling using the 10 yo account, right? charles is not *thaaat* scary
Yeah it’s always like that for me too, horror messes me up unless I recontextualize it so watching speedrun stuff is great
@@itsasecrettoevery1 nope, i am just stupid and have really low tolerance to horror stuff lmao
Its not that i cant sleep because of nightmare either, i just cant close my eye haha XD
It’s absolutely hilarious how spiff is just watching a Marble race while he is being chased by a man eating spider train
The funniest moment was while you were dying to Charles, you just hear Eugene in the distance yell “GET SOME HEAD SHOTS!”
Spiff always finds the most interesting unintended challenges
19:45 I love that you can see Barry moving away from mspiff like he knows Charles in coming lol
Eugene is the embodiment of a giga chad put into a npc
Edit:"Ima popular boi"
Indeed
Agreed
HE ISN'T TAKING ENOUGH DAMAGE
GET SOME HEADSHOTS
@@kdevelopergw HE ISN'T TAKING ENOUGH DAMAGE GET SOME HEADSHOTS
@@tytheghost3024 WE'RE COMIN FOR YA CHARLES
spiff literally went from eugene being his pal to charles and chat being the only things he paid attention to
43:45 is just too perfect
I find it funny that someone asked if you’re going to play Hollow Knight on stream when you were making a new save while in an old save to “combine” them, which is something used in all glitches speedruns in Hollow Knight.
watching this live took a LOT of perseverance. but this end result? made it all worth it :D great video as always spiff!
You should get a secret achievement for this and a secret cutscene
Soon, the dev probably would alongside making it possible by someone who isn't a god like Spiff.
Spigg is not a god
He just has amazing levels of tenacity and time
14:38 "Quadra-Shit" is my new favourite catchphrase now.
It gives really neat insight on how the game is built, though.
I had assumed Eugene on the train was coded to be only enabled during his segment, and would be disabled if you sequence-broke. The fact he's only thrown off/disabled when the train gets under a certain health threshold is really interesting :)
I was the one who recommended ground flames at 25:43! Glad to see I could be of help in this long and painful endeavor!
The community saving Eugene with such determination is great to see 😂
an open world horror game like this is so cool and not really scary, so saving eugene should be an option
Yeah
Charles might be the most powerful boss in any video game. Even when you break the physics of the game it only slows him down
19:37 Spiff: “he must still be at the water”
Charles: “insert Bruce from finding Nemo hellho”
Spiff grinding out bangers before Christmas, GG to the man
Watching that stream was like watching grass grow, but there was great commentary and a blast to have on in the background. 10/10 would recommend.
Spiff doing stuff Spiffway again THE ONLY RIGHT WAY ❤
Im sure eugene really appreciates that... somewhere deep in that jumble of 0s and 1s
18:50 Auxiliary fun hippo fact: recently a two year old had half their body swallowed by a hippo before *also* escaping, unharmed
Saving Eugene is the ticket to achieving godhood
This man trades several years off his life with Eugene's, what a true homie
Thank you for saving Eugene in your infinite love 🙌🙌
I'm calling it that Eugene% will become a speedrunning category for this game, so long as this isn't patched out.
Rare footage of Spiff training Charles how to go left and right: 8:55
I’m so glad you did this, I’m glad you never quit, I’m glad I stubbled upon you a year ago, thank you spiff.
Spiff is like the physical embodiment of the law of unintended consequences
SO INFINITELY GLAD we get more spiff coverage on this amazing game, loved the first video and watched it so many times lol. Giga Charles is who I live for 💞
That is epic. Thank you ☺️💞
There were a few times I was raging with you and rooting for your win and wonderful to see it happen!❤️
20:10
Spiff:"surely we will be done in no time"
6 hours later
*gets to the boss fight for the first time*
I just watched the other attempt a couple of hours ago and was disappointed it'd required cheating. This is exactly what I wanted to see, posted close enough to the instant I wanted it.
Congrats on setting the Eugene % World Record. :3
The developer should make this way easier and make it a secret ending
Better, don't make it easier but if there's a sequel... Make it canon.
@@DropsOfMars "Eugine didn't acutally die, a rancher came and saved him"
Good ideas, I’ll go ask him
@@Artur-xd6ve Helen’s pet rock saved him with mouth to mouth.
Hey Spiff, just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful content over the past while and I hope you and your loved ones have a very good Christmas or December 25th depending on your traditions! You’ve given my partner and i some pretty dope moments and your speedrun skills always impress the hell outta me. Keep up the fantastic work!
I'll be honest...I did not plan on watching every second of this. Originally, I just wanted to know if saving Eugene could be done. But only a few seconds into the video I had to know how the challenge was even going to work and if it could be done. Then I wanted to know all the setbacks and how much resolve he actually had to finish what he started.
This video was definitely a good watch.
This right here proves that Spiff is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will.
i hope the creator adds the ability to save Eugene legitimately in honor of this run
i have no clue how my brain works but i'd rather watch spiff going out on walkies with charles than watch a full packed action gameplay
ITS BEEN SO LONG! SINCE LAST I'VE SEEN EUGENE, LOST TO THIS MONSTER!! TO THE TRAIN BEHIND THE SLAUGHTER
19:38 “he must still be at the water”
You never specified which water, Spiff
Giga Eugene doesn't fear any Giga Charles, for he reigns as the supreme NPC.
My theory is that Charles knows how strong Eugene is, so he is extra aggressive considering both the player and Eugene are a dangerous pair
i've been a fan of your content for a really long time and im so proud of you spiff!!!!!!!
I’ve been around since the “How to spawn multiple Suns” video. Safe to say I have a new comfort streamer that isn’t going away any time soon.
This is probably the 4th time i've watched this. Spiff 100% hit his goal of rewatchable videos
Only the people from twitch know how long this took.. and how spigg got left walkies when he walked away to make a sandwich-
Overall, super entertaining two streams, Spiff! I got to gamble my balls away in style.. and in fear of Giga Charles
