Beginner-friendly tour of solo Fighter PvP in Frost Mountain - Dark and Darker
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- Hike with me up Frost Mountain for a guided look at some of my favorite modules. Watch as I get cooked by mobs, optimize my route for wolf pelts, and prepare spaces to ambush PvP from the shadows. This quick video is designed for new players who want to see how I hide and fight during a full raid as a solo Fighter.
I don't go into a ton of map strategy or detail, since I'm still learning this map myself. So this is just a quick look at a raid format you can iterate on for hopefully similar results :)
Special thanks to @lorenzolai992 for encouraging me to post unedited footage of complete raids!! Not something I'm used to doing, but hope it helps!

** STREAMING SOON ON UA-cam **
I've got a new weekly live stream starting on Monday July 8th, prolly around 1pm (Eastern Time!). It'll be a daytime Board Meeting™, hope to see you then!!
I've been incorporating the no-pot belt playstyle and it's amazing how much it's been benefiting me. Was playing duos with a buddy, and had a dark hallway with a ranger at the end. We were able to run up to them before they had ANY time to react. We came from the shadows... thanks for all the content man
nice, another one brought over to the dark side!! I'm honestly stunned at how many people run around with glow pots on their belt like they're going to a rave
Meta for me has been 6 throwing axes since they nerfed them to 1/ stack so there just isnt room for anything but throwing weapons
Can`t wait for the stream!!!🙃
YA I'M NOT NERVOUS AT ALL HAAAHAAAAAAA :)
He's a frosty boy now ! ❄️
hehe you converted me and I'm loving it :) except for the damn yeti. have a good one Wolf!!
I’m addicted to sword+shield fighter, you’ve been a great mentor for this playstyle; I appreciate the videos!
yay! absolutely love to hear it, thanks!!
top tier playstyle and vibe my dude, im new to the game and ive been binging learning so much from your videos, thanks mann
keep em coming!
thank you so much, lots more in the works!!!
Thanks for all the time and thought you put into these. I wish every game had someone to explain the mechanics as calmly and thoroughly as you do for Dark and Darker lol
hey thanks for this comment, I try my best to stay clam (don't feel very calm in PvP haha) and it's great to hear that vie is well received :) good luck out there!
Glad you stepping into ice content. Keep up the great work B!!
I'm on it, thanks for checking in!!
Awesome vid again, this play-style is just too fun. Every fight feels so doable and it’s just confirmation when I get to come here and watch you chef it up on the cutting board.
ooooooo the cutting board.. I LOVE THAT
@@YourBoyBlinn 👨🍳
Another awesome video. Really good work
thanks for the comment, I appreciate you stopping by!
That was a really smooth and perfectly played match! Blinn said he hated the goblin archer spamming the wall in the other room, but that archer earned that Blinn that first free arming hit on the long sword. The long sword fighter was trying to open the other room because he/she thought that there was someone in there fighting the goblin archer.
yes, I totally realize now that archer was like a beacon calling out to other PvP-hungry players haha.. a lure to my dark lair >:)
You, sir, have taught me to be a fellow shadow warrior! Thank you!
ANOTHER ONE JOINS THE DARKSIDE hahaha >:)
You spawned in at Path A, if you down down below where the skeleton mage is near the extract there is also like 6 wolves, that’s the god spawn as you clear that area then go south to wolf cave then back up north to extract
oooo thanks! still learning!! so many wolves to farm >:)
Top left module where you spawned has some wolfes too
whooops!! haha thanks for the reminder! think I was wanting to get out of that PvE zone and get to wolf den before other people started trickling in.. seems to have worked out!
Out rogue-ing the rogue!
hey hey a wild Clippy appears!!
Not sure if its in your video toolbox but it would be cool if you made a video explaining the importance of quests and what the benefits of fulfilling quests are cause besides squire upgrades I don't quite get it. Surely you would prefer just making money from runs to buy gear or getting them from said runs.
I think the main goal of quests is to unlock more crafting options. as the wipe matures, the best gear is crafted, but you need to have the quests complete to enable crafting from particular merchants. gold gear and other fancy stuff all comes from merchants (and the ingredients you need to craft them) so that's why questing is important!!
I struggle with this map as a new player, so it was great to hear an experienced player also does. How do you go about learning or expanding you knowledge of a map other than just keep running it?
Have a look at the spellsandguns wiki. The maps on there let you toggle POIs on and off as you please. So if say, you are just learning where the extracts are, you can just turn those on and everything else off and study it. Or throw it on a secondary monitor/your phone etc.
I team up with other people who have more experience! WolfTactical held my hand in frost mountain for like 10 raids before I started running it myself. another friend has been showing me the ropes in Crypts Inferno.. so much better to get immediate advice and map knowledge while playing, since there's something about the autonomy that helps me remember the layouts and particulars.
not a bad idea!!
I play mainly duos so im pretty familiar with ice caves since we were forced on it for extended periods the last 2 wipes. honestly the pve feels a little better this wipe, its still really annoying at times but overall its not as bad, they really could eliminate the whole kobolds calling other kobolds thing, thats never gonna not suck. its pretty good loot though especially if you go down to abyss, its not quite as good as hell but its usually pretty chill down there. btw I noticed you mentioned going to wolf cave for pelts, theres also a bunch of wolves and a lions head right down the ramp in that room you spawned.
thanks for the wolf spawn tips!! def still learning the map and didn't realize how valuable that top-left module was for all sorts of PvE :) appreciate the comment!!
@@YourBoyBlinn yeah the whole map is actually pretty good looting, I usually spawn in and grab some wolves if there around on the way to pyramid, loot under pyramid cuz theres a royal coffin and a lions head or a golden under there, then a bunch of surrounding rooms have lions head or goldens, i loot them then go to the one room you can enter abyss from there can be up to 3 lions heads and a golden in there usually just 1 of each though. then i hop down to abyss and loot a few goldens and lions heads down there and ive walked out with over 5k in items in normals before. its definitely not always that good but the potential is there.
Ice caves are a clerics wet dream just throw on purification a little heals im talkin like 3 pots 3 bandages an a campfire type small an a little patience I cleaned house the other day in low lobby
@@G4L_Trixster yeah clerics be in a pretty good place these days!
Do we have a date for when the wipe happens this time
hmmm im not sure if a hard date has been announced.. but we're likely now about 50-60% through season 4? just a guess tho
do you live stream on twitch? do you like dungeonborne?
got a new livestream starting on YT this monday @ 1pm ET!!
I agree with the comment in general but I think the reason creators don't do it is that the algorthim punishes you for people skipping large sections.
ahhh that makes sense.. tough to balance the content some people might want to see with the content proven to be preferred/amplified by the YT algo :/
Sure, but a troll is much harder, i have like 50 wolf pelts and i have zero troll pelts, i never even killed one.
yeah nah, I don't mess with the troll haha
Your play style makes me get off the video. Turning off torches as a fighter is crazy. Anytime I see torches off I don't even enter the room.
totally understandable! darkness is not for the faint of heart >:)
I literally skip this map every single time
I used to as well, but the blue map environment lighting is like a rinse out for my eyes after 10 rounds of sweaty GC 🚿
