My heart goes out to all the people who more than likely don't have larp events to go to this year, it looks so cool
I don't care if anyone who thinks doing this is childish or weird, this is a very epic thing to do!
@@SonjasAdventures Glad to see someone agrees, we should LARP together one day XD
Those people want to participate, but dont have the guts so they talk it away with uber-adult talk.
I want to join, but it’s the language barrier I’m concerned about.
Jarrett Stiles thats no problem. No matter where you are, there are most of the time a lot of people who speak english.
Role play someone who has gone on a huge quest from a far away land and your passing though as it all kicks off. That would be my plan.

One year late, but maybe it will help. We had a lot of english speaking players in and around our group. If you still want to try it, maybe i can help you to find a group.
TheIrishWIll is a youtuber who goes to Drachenfest and Mythodea and he wanted to build a group for english speakers - mayber you could ask him under one of his video or on facebook...
One of the best Conquest trailers yet.
The Information is on point an beautifully complimented by the extremely well cut together scenes.
The hit on 2:21 is so good. Glad I stumbled accidentally onto this channel. Thank you!
I'm a few videos in now. Great production skills! I haven't been LARPing long but I made a podcast about being new to LARP. We go to Empire in the UK. Thanks for all the awesome content!

Glad you liked it :-)
I'm in the group that "took" that hit a couple of years ago and we are soooo happy that moment got caught on film.
We NPC take pride in trying to deliver the best show possible (and a very challenging fight to boot).
So it feels like the nicest compliment to see us at the very moment Sonja talks about acting out well ^.^
Its always a pleasure to give my life for PCs - as often as needed ;)
This is one of the best things I've ever seen, except for the music
Yes, the music does not fit the medieval war at all.
dID yOu SEe ThE MuSic? NoOoOoooOo.
Ich liebe dieses Video. Vielen Dank für deinen qualitativ hochwertigen Content :)
Very informative thanks. Also banging tune x
It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the LARP run by Profound Decisions, called Empire, here in the UK.
I'm hopeful;ly going to be trying out ConQuest next year. LARP gypsy here I come. :)
Empire is amazing! you should definately visit. Its not quite as big (3000ish i think) but it sure is fun!
thoughtheglass and its alot more easy with language and its more often
habe dich mehrmals auf dem Schlachtfeld gesehen, und stand sogar sehr oft neben dir! Einmal hab ich dich sogar angesprochen, aber da bist du mit Ingo gerade wieder weggelaufen xD deine Videos sind klasse, und vielleicht seh ich dich ja nächstes Jahr auf dem Schlachtfeld wieder ^^
Wow this looks amazing
It is! Hope you will join us one day?
My best friend and I will be on Mythodea.
It‘s going to be our first LARP and we have just started to work on our characters.
Your video gave us the vibe and we are so excited to do this, after we finished our Abitur.😂
Willkommen dabei.
Da habt ihr euch die bestmögliche Abitour ausgesucht. Die werdet ihr nie vergessen.
Danke, wir freuen uns auch schon sehr darauf😊
Gaaaah I can't wait for this 2021!
WOW! OMGoddess! This just made the bucket list! Wouldn't want to come back to the mundane world after this!
Thank you Janet! It's definitely worth a trip - hopefully we can all get back together in 2022
Lovely made! Greetings from Fuchs Bote, the daily in-time newspaper of Mythodea :)
thank you Fuchsbote =) Always a pleasure
@@SonjasAdventures this is my new goto video, if I want to show some non-larper about larp in general or specific about Conquest! Huge thumbs up for your work 😍
@@T3b oh wow, thank you so much!
@@SonjasAdventures Ehre, wem Ehre gebührt
The Larp group I go to which is called Scy’Kadia allows jabs and stabs. I’m honestly not sure why this one doesn’t allow stabs. They are foam weapons. I know from experience that stabs with foam weapons don’t cause injuries. It seems to me that the only attack you’re allowed to do in this thing is slashes. That doesn’t give you too many options on what you can do in combat. Stabbing with foam weapons really doesn’t do that much harm. They should probably change that. I mean stabbing is a big part of swordsmanship.
Fair enough. Makes sense.
Thats germany for you. Always a bit extra strict. I heard england is bit more relaxed in this aspects.
@Davie Shaw yes all weapons are foam. The metal clanking is all metal armour.
because the fiberclass core rod can break or pierce the foam and inflict injuries when stabbing.
Stabbing even with flexible fencing feathers is risky and should only be done when you are experienced and the other side wears protective gear.
the core rods are not flexible enough to bend out of the way when stabbing, so during battle, the opponent might run up your weapon when you stab and impale himself.
also its a serious risk to your eyes and throat areas
Next year maybe...I wanna go so much, and I wanna make kit even more haha
Respekt für den Schnitt @ 3:12😃
Wow ! How did you film scenes this good ?*-*
Ah, alright. Still an awesome and very informational video. :)
I've been wondering if it would be worth getting our guys out here for this in 2019. My only concern would be the factions. Because if 380-510 people were to show up wanting to stick together or create there own group i'm not sure how that would work. If i could get any info about that, I would appreciate it.
I'm one of the administrators for our larp group. We have ~600 members. I was wondering as to if we were to attend the 2019 Conquest of Mythodeia and would like to stick together, as there are pre- existing factions, how would we go about that?
Thanks!
It is so much fun
ouuuuh yes! Soon it's happening again
I'm not a LARPER but this look as great as The Pennsic War.
Aaahhh, the SCA...historical larping...sort of. Good times I've had at Gulf Wars down south, but haven't made it to Pennsic...yet!💚
Can somebody tell me more about the magic system in mythodea, I haven’t been able to find anything about it and I’d like to if there even is one. One more thing to, can somebody also tell me more about making artifacts, because I went to website that talked about it. Please answer soon!
hey Jonathan, have you checked out their homepage and Customer service? the larp company is called "Live Adventure" and they can tell you everything
Meine Grüße gehen raus an den Fuchs, den ich heute zufällig in einer Gaststätte, fernab von eurem Event, kennen lernen durfte und der mich an schöne Zeiten in anderen Welten erinnert hat.
Ein Fuchs? Ich bin verwirrt 😅
Ok if leaving Mythodea this year did not gave me the Larp Blues, this video definitly did...
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong, Mythodea !
Yeah definitly, I'm a player in a very small group so we could not be here it would not make a difference, but I still enjoy this massive LARP with all I got ! In which camp were you by the way, just per curiosity ? xD
Hooo so you are a part of that clan. I had some good fun on the battlefield alongside bloodpact members, notably some charges and flanking of black ice soldiers, I'm glad you are on our side actually...
Well, I did not particulary interacted with you all, but it was still a pleasure seeing your big clan there. How many were you this Mythodea ? It seemed like you were fewer than last year.
Woooooowwww, that's a lot of manpower and clans, it must be awesome to fight in one of those big armies.
Do you prepare everything in advance as an army or is every clan going for himself until Mythodea ?
Nice Video but the music dosn't fit
the undead fleeaasshh!!!
Do you have to speak German to get by at Mythodea? Thinking about coming from
Canada 🇨🇦 and I only know english and french and few expressions in norwegian...
Many Germans speak English, that shouldn't be a problem. You might even pick up a little German while you're there. I wouldn't worry too much.
Most germans now basic english. And they adjust more extra for international visitors. Since this year they offer a shuttle service from the two big airports frankfurt and hannover and a "hotel" service which means you can sleep in an authentic cotton tent. I think it only could be a little bit less fun when you do not know german and english. But even if you couldn't understand anything and having no friend with you it is so worth seeing it once in your live. It is like a holiday in a fantasy land. It has the size of a whole city an the whole setting is gorgeous. The effort people put in costume, play and everthing is so intense. And compared to the big festivals like burning man the crowd is so much friendler and more safe.
You didn't mentoin the Oily Plaque and the Void when mentoining the counterparts. I know they were mostly defeated and there are only small numbers remaining but I think it now sounds weird that there are five elements but only three counterparts and although those two other ones are not that big of a threat anymore, they add so much to the lore of mythodea. And, well, they are still out there, so it might not hurt to know when you have to cover your face or call for a magician.
Happy to be back in Mythodea this year after that annoying two years long global plague-plot... (If everything goes as planned.)
I just returned from a big Live Adventure event so I am pretty sure Conqest will happen as well 😍 Yes I didnt nams every single NPC party - there are many more like the Skargen now as well - this video just gave a rough overview of what to expect 😊 but sure, you are right 👍 😊
We need more info on the clan I'm so interested in the dead flesh but their isnt anything even on the official site I can find that talk about them
you mean the Undead Flesh? So there's more info on their homepage: mythodea.de/en/npcs-and-playmakers/ and there's an email where you can contact the organizer and ask specific questions. There's also a Facebook group for Conquest, a Facebook group for the NPCs etc =)
When we meet you at a larp how to talk to you IT?
If a LARP character/person "dies" in battle, how long does he/she stay out of additional combat? If someone gets "wounded" do they "stay wounded" for the remainder of the week long event? Thank you with hugs and a kiss beautiful lady, goddess, & queen 👸❤️
They have to go out to the side, to not accidentally get stepped on, where a host of healer type characters roam and wait for one of them to come do their thing, usually doesn't take/ feel that long though. A great breather/ break when fighting in full costume in the summer, hope that helps!
@@indermandteam yes, it does! That's a good way to keep the battle going! Thank you 🤓
@@indermandteam current rules say that you have to X out and leave the combat area. no falling to gground or kneeling down, due to injuries and danger of getting stepped on by fully armored people (wich is quite unhealthy when a 130kg person + 30kg of armor steps onto you)
NPC´s have respawn mechanics, players go to their healers and get healed or have a time out of 1-2hours
@@zhufortheimpaler4041 yeah that's exactly what I meant by out to the side 😁
Nice video, but the music is way too loud in my opinion
thanks for the feedback! :-)
I think I been asleep. Why am I first learning of this now.
😊 well I am glad you know now! Wanna join the family? 😁
oh mein Gott, ich muss dahin..
How long is this event?
And you can already come till the sunday before, so you can spend a week there!
plot is from wednesday afternoon to saturday night. Monday and Tuesday are already open for early arrivals (even the sunday before) but the Tross (the village) etc is still in building and everything is OT until wednesday afternoon with the opening battles etc
I wanna go to Germany and larp now. I never larped before, is it amazing?
That's really cool! Please come over, Conquest is happening this year again
i wish we had something this big around my area, no way I can get to Germany XD
where do you live? :-)
@@SonjasAdventures i live in pennsylvania in the USA. we dont really have to much out in my area sadly
@@user-sc6vs3th1k But you have a great LARP there called "Dammerung". =) Not as big in size of course but still beautiful and with a focus on European-like roleplay: www.dammerunglarp.com/
And also, if you are interested in just getting the vibe of a huge medieval town, of fights and roleplay, you guys have a huge SCA crowd and the big event "Pennsic War" with about 16,000 people: www.pennsicwar.org/
@@SonjasAdventures thank you, I've been looking for a norse larp for the longest but I dont think there are any in my area. I'll definetly check out the one you linked me though. I appreciate your reply, and if you have any tips for a beginner I'd be happy to hear them:)
@@user-sc6vs3th1k Oh cool! Yeah so I know the guys that organize Dammerung Larp and I can definitely recommend checking them out. They are really nice and beginner-friendly, too.
We are currently working on a "Larp 101" video series that hopefully answers many questions (but it'll take some time to write all scripts, film it and edit it. So you might need to wait a few more months =D )
This is the shit my mans
When you trust the titles here on youtube it seems that every LARP is the biggest...
that's possible but this one is actually the biggest 😁
Fuckin jesus the music
Who the hell is Hector and does he mind that you're on his land?
😂 are you mocking my phantastic German accent? 😜
@@SonjasAdventures nooo. i really enjoyed the video, tbh. just being a goof :p
@@Allegedly_Angel dont you worry - against all rumours, we DO Have a sense of humor 😂 I was making a joke too 😁👍
😂
asere no hay latinos en esta talla_?
Sau schade das ich nie zeit hab auf mythodea zu gehen fällt leider immer in die Vorbereitungszeit von nem anderen wichtigen Event
SONJAS ADVENTURES
Stimmt is zwar ewig lange Vorbereitung aber es lohnt sich immer wieder bin nämlich Kärwabursche in Gründlach bei Nürnberg falls du weißt was es damit auf sich hat😁😁
SONJAS ADVENTURES
Der Ingo meinte an der Bergkirchweih das er weiß was das ist frag ihn mal😉
SONJAS ADVENTURES
Ah ich dachte ihr wohnt beide zusammen in München
Wow, that's what I call a good fantasy *game*! Love all the beautiful people at the big event. The music does not fit thou.
Yup… this is proper weird alright.
😂 yeap! And tons of fun 😁👍
The guys at CERN should hurry up and open a portal to alternate worlds so people can live their fantasy lives without all this madness.
haha yes can we do this please? 😁
yes
Take the religion from people and they will fill it with something else. People can't exist without mythology no matter the form and to mention the opportunity to escape their everyday lives.
Diese penetrante Musik macht das Video kaputt.
Quax317 dann mach halt ein besseres 🙄
Great, I used to only worry about my kids getting into drugs and sex. Now I worry they'll get into this stuff.
Introduce your kids to larp, they won't have money for drugs. Trust me 😂
@@taurengraybeard218 yep! :)
The background music is too loud
Thanks for the feedback =)
Its not the biggest
with almost 10k visitors, it is
The cringe is too much...
really? 😁 so much so that you wached it and gave this comment some valuable time of your life? 😂👍
@@SonjasAdventures Listen, I am the biggest geek out there, perhaps I have gotten too used to hiding my passions. But going and playing out a dungeons and dragons fantasy in real life, makes me too uncomfortable. Also while I love fantasy, grew up on Warhammer 40k, Warcraft, starcraft etc. Playing it out with other folks nah.
Also I am black, I have found a lot of fantasy fans to be quite racist to be honest, their imagined fantasy worlds often don't include black folks. So yeah again I will pass.
Finally it takes a few seconds to comment. Look do your thing, but don't lose your stuff when someone comments.
@@nograviti2388 all good, I am not angry - I am amused.. because I personally feel like taking the time to commenting negatively on someone else's work tells more about the sender than the receiver... so I couldn't keep myself from commenting on that. But it's okay, I understand that it seems to make you feel uncomfortable and I respect that it's not for you 👍 Have a great time nonetheless and if you ever want to try out Larp and see if it might not in fact be a fun time for you as well, I'm happy to help
@@SonjasAdventures well thanks for the great response. Maybe I do need to try it.. You are a good evangelist for larp lol. What is the best resource to look up events..?
@@nograviti2388 I am happy you are open for the thought 😊 LARPs are different all around the world, including where to find them. So in the US they are a lot different than here in Europe for example. The easiest way would probably be to google "Larp" and your respective region. And then, of course, it depends on the Genre you want to play in. "Average Fantasy" larps are easiest to find but there are also Postapo Larps, Warhammer Larps, Witcher Larps, Western, SciFi.. you name it 😊
