Nice to see you covering the dungeons of this game. Looking forward to your take on The Aurum Vale. Aka. the bane of healers. As well as the thousand maws of toto rak, the copperbell mines, cutter's cry, etc. ARR had a lot of fun and interesting dungeons.
Ho boy that's gonna be fun.
*Laughs in Bardam’s Mettle*
@@hoodiesoup Bardam's Mettle is not that hard.
The Great Scribe: "These pirates fought with such barbarity that no one dared to fight them, even on open land"
A party of 4 level 12-ish rookie adventurers: "Hold my Sprout Icon and watch this 😎".
Yeah the "Game" aspect kinda makes the lore sound weird now and then doesn't it?
@@SynodicScribe I like to explain the inconsistencies away with a combo of:
a) The Echo causes all adventurers so exist on different timelines that all sort of cross over, allowing people to re-experience things they've done, even when it's someone else's first time.
2) As such, every "Player" is a Warrior of Light, and as such benefits from insane power, ability to rewind the clock in a fight, and the absolute recklessness that comes with that combo of traits. xD
@@AegixDrakan Or we could make it really easy and call the video game a video game. lmao
@@SynodicScribe I like roleplaying and theorycrafting alright, don't kink shame me! XD **hides face**
I hope this becomes a regular thing! Would love to have more of these. I feel like ARR dungeons have some of the best hidden lore behind them. Your presentation is great as well! Awesome job!
I would love more of these. All the way through the Dead Ends
I've got a LOOOOONG way to go then. haha
@@SynodicScribe Well, at least it wouldn't be a... dead end.
"But there's something to be said for the thrill of adventuring for adventuring's sake, isn't there?"
That, I can't deny. 😎
Ah man. I love to see this. Its really unfortunate that the devs are most likely going to follow on their one dungeon a patch stance, even though I used to agree with them when they announced it. Its just a dungeon, who cares? That's what I thought, but then as I went through ShB I got h e a v i l y invested in Norvandt's history, areas and people. Even with a such a small world, seeing the Ravel, the Well, and the Twinning especially made me so interested in peeling back and finding different, hidden pockets of the world, like delving into the thicker areas of the purple forests, the spires off in the distance of Eulmore, and within Lakeland's castle.
It doesn't help that we were stuck with nothing but Cosmos for months, even though it wasnt the devs' fault. It really made me despise Cosmos as a whole seeing as it was the only(?) dungeon to do.
I'm a pirate of Sastasha, I go to a place called the hole, seeking a wet hole...
Ngl i kinda miss non-linear dungeons like sastasha, haukke manor, longstop, etc. Made me feel good for exploring em.
Yeah you can thank the wall to wall speed runners for killing this design type. lol
Yeah sad :[ it's why I wasn't happy with their refresh, copper mines
although I get it the bosses needed a retouch on mechanics but not the dungeons themselves were now made linear along with Maws
As someone who didn't really pay much attention (if any) to the earlier ARR dungeons, I really appreciate this kind of video, alongside every other video that you've made so far, and hope to see more of this in the future.
It's interesting how they sneak a lot of hidden backstory and lore in their Dungeons nowadays. Especially a lot of information that can be inferred from small details.
Perhaps getting together an Archaeology field trip might be enlightening.
Keep up the great work Delving into the lore and history of the world.
Ah yes the “wait is that a- ,but thats-, ohhhh noooo” dungeon
Starts off ok but it gets pretty oof when ya look closer
A lot of dungeons are like that. lol
What are you referring to about it?
I think it’s the female slaves that can be found down there.
your ability to tell a story is top notch! you have a very nice voice and I hope we get a lore video on every dungeon! I could watch these every day
That's a LOOOOONG road to walk but I'm happy to walk it!
There is a jail in one of the caves wings that has the kidnaped women (mostly Lalafellan/Miqo females) held inside behind a locked door.
You can relief the guard of their duties aggressively and take the key to open the door. Inside is some flavor text delivered that makes me think that these girls were serving in more ways than they wanted to.
And canonically since most players rush the dungeon these girls never get released from their fates. Figured Id share this little bit.
You can see a lot of them were mutated by leviathan in the hard mode version
I usually ask my parties if we can clear the area and free the sex slaves. Quite a few players are unaware of this so 9/10 parties usually agree.
Cute idea. Reminds me of Eythys lore tours and Speakers network wandering lost dungeons. Looking forward to many more.
Oh hey a dungeon deep dive!!! I really hope you’ll keep these kinds coming and maybe a super episode concerning the deepcroft 1&2 and the palace of the dead? The entire story is tragic and fascinating if you made sure to interact with the other new adventurers, near the start of the game I mean.
I love Sastasha! I'm happy to see either one in a roulette. I learned more about tanking in those caves than anywhere else. Thanks to the helpful folks I worked with there, I learned a lot.
Your channel is a real gold mine of lore ! Keep up the good work !
I love these, it's good to have a solid lore video that uses in game information consolidated into one place, Good job!
Cool story, teach~ Now please help me keep these salty caverns out of my Leveling Roulettes =~=
Was surprised at no mention of the Sultana’s Lap, wonder if maybe you’re saving that detail for a video about Mistbeard(s) themselves.
If you free the servants you get the impression someone sexually assaulted Lalafells. Always freaked me out. :(
And Miqo’te females. It’s why I request to clear every area to free the sex slaves. 9/10 times the party usually agrees.
Making the first dungeon more interesting
I missed the dungeon area the first time I did this dungeon. I killed every enemy in the dungeon during the run where I discovered it.
Oh man, I wanted to do videos like these too. Though I doubt I can keep this quality XD
Yeah I feel like people run through these dungeons but forget why after a while. haha
I try not to forget why I’m there. To be honest I’m kinda fond of the early ARR dungeons. They remind me of an all too brief time when I wasn’t known as the WoL, slayer of Primals, bane of certain Ascians and enemy of the Garleans. But instead known as a journeyman adventurer being hired to get the simpler tasks done.
While I’m a lvl 65 Smn/Sch and Whm Hyur I’m thinking of creating a second character so I can re-experience the simpler times when SE gets around to female Hrothgar. I love cats but refuse to be a Miqo’te because almost everyone is a Miqo’te. Even when female Hrothgar are released I doubt many would choose them.
I can't wait to see more of these
With respect, you missed a lot of lore.
Satasha’s last portion (where you fight the Sahagin and Kraken) is called “The Sultana’s Lap”. Even though Satasha is not in Ul’dah. This is because Mistbeard, nearly 20 years prior, had raided the wedding of the Sultana of Ul’dah (Nanamo ul-Namo’s parents) and made off with a haul of wedding gifts, but also the Sultana herself. It is believed he used Satasha as his anchorage, and took the loot as well as the Sultana there. It’s implied that Mistbeard had… relations… with the Sultana. Whether it was consensual or not is unknown. That is why the area is named so.
It is also possible that Nanamo resulted from their tryst, meaning she is half-Roegadyn, but because interracial pairings are stated in the lore to keep nearly all the mother’s genetic traits (Hilda being an exception for meta reasons) Nanamo appears as a normal Lalafell.
I was saving that lore for when I do a deep dive on Mistbeard's character. But since no one was expressing interest in that content I didn't get around to it. The dungeons delves are focused on the dungeons, not characters.
@@SynodicScribe Such a pity, since they cleverly hid that lore (or in this case, it was 1.0 stuff) so characters you meet seem light on lore, but they have a surprising amount if you know where to look. Enjoyable nonetheless.
I forgot the story to this! I love this. Keep it up!
This is also the dungeon we got to team up with the Eager Four, who also happen to have Echo much like us.
Fate is funny, isn't it.
Serpent Reavers never had a chance.
Thanks for the video btw!
Love the presentation
Is captain Madison dead? the Kraken just slapped him into the water, I doubt that killed him hehehe he might still be out there, at least minding his own business... (as far as I know) does anyone know?
The only times I've ever played Sastasha before was with a party of daily clearers, so I was never given time to pay attention to the women standing around in the pirate den portion of the dungeon
Then I ran it on duty support for my NG+ replay of the story...
That woman telling to slit every last pirate up between the legs was something I was not prepared for
Wow, arguably the worst dungeon in the game (because being level 16 sucks) has a good amount of lore behind it. Nitto
So, the kraken at Hullbreaker Isle is unrelated to this one?
It's the same Kraken. At Hullbreaker it retreated beneath the water. In this dungeon it's defeated for good.
I never actually saw the cutscene introducing that giant kraken monster in Sastasha (Hard)... The way Madison was just tossed out of the arena was just precious! BUAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Though, I kinda feel bad for the bird. It might have been a bit much to Team Rocket it into the stratosphere.
I wouldn't have minded getting the bird as a minion tbh
Wonderful series. Looking forward to more.
I seriously love this channel so much!!! Going to happily watch these videos.
Pre-video: I wonder if he's gonna talk about the Sultana's lap.
Post-video: awww
I hope you do cover the other dungeons. There's a lot of old, forgotten lore from 1.0. Personally not big on ARR recaps telling of "totally not the WoL and friends." since I was expecting more on the telling of what each part of the dungeon meant and how it connected to the story. Like "The Hole" where they keep all the miqo'te and lala sex slaves and the in fighting pirates that were about to make even more sex slaves as you mentioned their atrocities.
This is all just my opinion and preference though.
Look if you wanna use those trigger words and get flagged by UA-cam then be my guest. I unfortunately have to watch what I say/cover. lol
@@SynodicScribe * stares at oneyplays * I mean, your content is specifically under not made for kids. Hitting home base in line with the game hasn't had a lot of multi million view channels taken down and I'm sure haters report them constantly. But, it's your video series which has worked out great so far. Keep at it.
@@SuccubiPie Age difference doesn't matter. There are certain phrases and words that will trigger UA-cam no matter what. Even popular channels need to mind themselves. So I'd prefer to be safe than sorry.
I can understand the need to be careful. My FC took me through it so I could clear every single corner of Satasha.
great lesson today professor. can we talk about my grade im worried my beast tribe term paper wont be good enough T,,T
Indeed! We shall dive into more beast tribes!
thank you so much!
Hold up! So the Kraken from Sastasha isn't the same as the one from Hullbreaker Isle?
it's the same one. But I'm trying to do these dungeons in order of appearance so Hullbreaker needs to wait its turn.
FOR THE ALGORITHM!
THANK YOU!
GREAT!!!
Been wanting someone to do this for a while, looking forward to more!
Bruh its a god damn crime u dont have more of these in this section
I really should dive into more dungeons. Thanks for reminding me
@@SynodicScribe I would appreciate it :D there pretty cool i showed some players what you showed us and they were like holy shit O_O shocked to even see this was here they were like uh wtf.Made them hate madison more. especially one of the member was a lala himself XD
Well this was a pleasant surprise!. I look forward to more of these. Though I do have a question: does this mean it is possible for tempering, or at least a massive amount of aether, to raise the dead, albeit in a mutated state? If Madison was slain instead of being horribly wounded, that would point to yes. However, I do not recall tempering having such an effect.
It's implied Madison was gravely wounded but survived long enough to be dragged in front of Leviathan with the remaining members of his pack. Without a soul to knock off balance a dead body can't be converted into a monster through a primal's influence.
@@SynodicScribe Thank you for explaining.
