Amazing run! Can't wait for next episode! PS.: 27:19 Here you just need go directly to the boss. Apply two times Zoe rage to kill enemies and deal 14 dmg. Then go by Akonah and do 15 + 9 damage. Ignore other enemies, it's a trap! :O PPS.: It's very hard to talk and play, so mistakes happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So I just beat the cave while watching with you, and a BIG thing that helped me was using the MOUSE to move not the keyboard! This helped me keep from moving Zoe instead of Akohan by accident, a LOT. You can also click the minimap to visit any previous areas for shopping etc
@@KevinCrouch0 I'm pretty sure that's the default but when he was looking through the options of Akohan's powers he clicked off of the secondary power and never clicked it back on. It was before even did a Akohan expedition so probably didn't realize it was even a thing.
Loving the videos of Pyrene. Felt like I was right along with ya for the ride. at 34:52 I laughed and cried straight away when you moved Zoe. That was rough to see.
I just finished the akohan cave bit. Got a dodge focussed built where at some point i got about fifty dodge, so that's an easy win. But it took some time for me to wrap my head around akohan and zoë😅
Those items that let you deal damage to enemies when you move so long as the item is in play seem so op. You just straight up don't have to interact with enemies unless they are directly blocking your path.
Is it just me or can you attack the boss at the start and it will only do the "damage" as damage and not its healt? Couldnt you get like 2 hits in like this and deal about 20 damage?
love this series, but I'm confused why you keep putting the sleep scroll at the front of the deck, wouldn't it be ideal to have it later to save on a health cost night rather than saving provisions early?
i could be wrong, but it's still the same number of sleeps no matter where you put it, while leaving it for later may leave you in a situation where you can't take it because a sleep could spawn enemies where you don't want them like in the way of an altar and if you don't have enough health to deal with it it fucks you up
15:40 I'm not sure if this comes up later in the video but I did not want to lose the timestamp. When the eye guys attack (and actually when anything attacks you without you triggering it, like the mountain griffon) it counts as a combat, and if you have more HP than them they will die. In other words, you could have rolled Zoe up in to that centre space and she would have been fine. Thanks for showing me this game by the way - I would never have played it without seeing it on here.
tbf, there's a white outline around the active character and it's also displayed in the left corner. Not sure if making it glowing would make it easier to spot.
@@dunderbaer2430 I think it would since both characters are predominately white and the outline is white. So at an intense glance they sort of mimic each other (which does seem to be the design point). I mean, yeah, slow down and pay attention I guess but for me I just have to keep reconfirming who I'm on when an indicator that isn't white/black would be helpful.
I want to see more of your journey through this game! However, I've noticed the game is actually VERY EASY. Broken combos are really easy to come by. Generally in the form of "if X happens, everything dies" type of stuff. Akohan has been the biggest struggle for me so far as well, though.
Pretty sure that cave boss doesn't do it's health in damage. Saying this halfway through, so maybe you figure that out by the end, if so, then this comment is just for the algorithm.
Was stuck on Akohahn until I managed to get 4x double your healing relics and a relic which allowed healing items to go over your max hp. Never the less I killed the boss with 600hp
i downloaded Pyrene because of your first video on it and I've been loving it, but the amount of times that i've completely ruined runs just bc i accidentally moved Zoe instead of Akohan must be in the dozens... i really hope the devs consider making it a bit more obvious who you're controlling in future updates. even just a bright glow around the character you're controlling would be helpful!
This is making me feel a lot better about how shitty my Slay the Spire game is. That confusion you get when you can't tell if you played badly or if you just got screwed by the random generation. It's so frustrating.
High damage stuff and good weapons should be put later on so they can help you kill more and harder enemies. They are wasted when you use them immediately on the few easy enemies
golden ear just gives you hp when you collect gold, also if you're referring to relics that activate on special power use - swapping with akohan and zoe isnt considered a special power since its free
Neat vid I was wondering if you'll make a vid about meme mayhem (it's out now), ever since the demo version it looked kinda promising and an olexa type game
5:55 the claw will likely not be that useful since you most often 1hko the enemies anyway and their lower damage(health) pool only applies when the frost wears off. 6:50 Oh
@@OlexaYT fair, it also has a few options that just change some stuff, add challenges, or seemingly there are rare times where there are modifiers that show up that are there for one run then not seen again for a long time, or at least in the demo i have seen Several such things pop up. Also a few options that seem like recording QoL stuff but not a huge game balance changer. (Sadly have not yet gotten the budget for buying the full version, so sorry if my info is a tad out dated)
Hey olexa, watching yoh plah made me buy the game! It looked so fun! Some advice about playkng akohan - you really want to use your movement of both characters to your advantage. For example at 1:21, you could have moved akohan right next to the three enemies, then used zoe to go get that iceball then used akohan to attack all three while they were iced up! I foumd those small changes in mindset totally changed how i played him and made it so much easier. Good luck, ill be watching :))
My main hesitation with buying the game is that I found the demo way too easy. I made a poison build and I DESTROYED the boss. Is the difficulty well balanced in the full game?
On the first run. Not taking the item that does 9 damage to ALL enemies for 3 supplies killed your run. You didnt need that card for the normal battles, but you couldve top decked it for the boss battle and destroyed it in 1 or two turns.
You're just playing too quickly! At the beginning of the video, when you were taking a few seconds to stop and think about your moves each turn you were absolutely crushing. The second you started chatting while moving (and every time after that) is when Bad Things™started happening. The good news is you're doing it to yourself, the bad news is you're doing it to yourself hahaha
I love how the thumbnails have just been Akohan going through the stages of grief
LMAO
Akohan is definitely struggling and slowly dissenting into madness.
@@mcaelm oh wow I actually didnt notice that till you pointed it out, good observation
XD
The mental image of Zoe going absolutely HAM then immediately taking a nap is really funny
Amazing run! Can't wait for next episode!

Not reading the boss tags was the death for that first run
true and real
Absolutely loving this series so far! Over an hour with Akohan must mean we're cookin' or totally cooked
Funny enough both
So I just beat the cave while watching with you, and a BIG thing that helped me was using the MOUSE to move not the keyboard!
This helped me keep from moving Zoe instead of Akohan by accident, a LOT.
You can also click the minimap to visit any previous areas for shopping etc
Also, idk how but you have ONLY ONE POWER active, but my Akohan could have BOTH the Zoe's Wrath AND the Zoe's Jump enabled at same time
@@KevinCrouch0 I'm pretty sure that's the default but when he was looking through the options of Akohan's powers he clicked off of the secondary power and never clicked it back on. It was before even did a Akohan expedition so probably didn't realize it was even a thing.
It also shows the selected character in the bottom left to let you know who is currently active which'll save you at a glance!
guys he MIGHT be the Northenlion of Akohan
the boss does not inflict as much dmg as their health xD overlooked that the 1st run was soooo winnable
I think you underestimated the sheer amount of healing that gold can give during those multi-sleep rooms, but the reroll was clutch af nonetheless.
This series has been absolutely brilliant so far! I love the concept of it, and the joy it seems to bring you as you play through it!
1st run: you broke the boss's freezes with weak Zoe attacks. If you had swung at the boss with Akohan every time the boss froze, I think you had it.
That corpse explosion example just exploded me right on the spot and did my entire healthbar of damage to my whole desk.
That was a frosty run. Glad you hammered your way out of heck. Thanks for the video.
Loving the videos of Pyrene. Felt like I was right along with ya for the ride. at 34:52 I laughed and cried straight away when you moved Zoe. That was rough to see.

2:00 if only there was a power that’d let you swap the two XD
Im surprised this series has no official intro and title card yet, im not mad at it tho i like how you get straight into the action
Cheers man, amazing moves with akohan, you are learning at an amazing pace
Those items that let you deal damage to enemies when you move so long as the item is in play seem so op. You just straight up don't have to interact with enemies unless they are directly blocking your path.
My current run has this + the ingot (perma upgrades cards in play). It's doing 100+ damage per move, it's incredibly broken.
After throwing a multitude of good runs, he has finally done it! Good on you 👍🏿
min 2:00 already not using Akohan cards lmao, such a Tyler move after wondering how to win with this guy XD
Fire arrow plus instant fire damage combo could be insane for the boss.
Is it just me or can you attack the boss at the start and it will only do the "damage" as damage and not its healt? Couldnt you get like 2 hits in like this and deal about 20 damage?
Yes I think he didn't notice that part about the boss
I finished the main story quest and the game is so fun and they still have so many more challenges and things to unlock
Finally! After all the grief!
I smashed that like button.

time to use the sanctuary and swap powers :P trust me, the 2/3 cost swap is much stronger than the 10-cost ability.

16:40 Oh, you IMMEDIATELY learn this hahaha.
If you're having trouble, unlock the skill relic merchant. She's generally the key to breaking a run open.
I think having a glowing outline around who's active would go hard with this character. Lol Thanks for the video!
tbf, there's a white outline around the active character and it's also displayed in the left corner. Not sure if making it glowing would make it easier to spot.

@@Imikiko fair enough, later in the video with some other backgrounds the white border did get harder to spot.
This game has a fantastic way instantly blasting your mistakes in your face.
I just wanna say that corpse explosion is 100% a good card on a Shiv run
I want to see more of your journey through this game!

Cheers man, amazing moves with akohan you are learning at an amazing pace
Picking scroll over mosquito was craazzyy, and you could’ve wine if you focused boss
useing the mouse to move the around, would help you out alot. and would in most cases avoice you moving the wrong char.
Elixir of Healing really looks like the head of a you-know-what
He finally did it! Free at last, can't wait to see the new character.
Lmao the fact that akohan was smoothest and most broken run for me is just ao funny considering your struggles with him
A thousand years, akohan and zoe!
Was stuck on Akohahn until I managed to get 4x double your healing relics and a relic which allowed healing items to go over your max hp. Never the less I killed the boss with 600hp
this time for sure
i downloaded Pyrene because of your first video on it and I've been loving it, but the amount of times that i've completely ruined runs just bc i accidentally moved Zoe instead of Akohan must be in the dozens... i really hope the devs consider making it a bit more obvious who you're controlling in future updates. even just a bright glow around the character you're controlling would be helpful!
Pogged out my gourd at hour long Pyrene
This is making me feel a lot better about how shitty my Slay the Spire game is. That confusion you get when you can't tell if you played badly or if you just got screwed by the random generation. It's so frustrating.
All it took was a flaming axe that incinerates everyone and everything to beat the boss
so just incase you get stuck (like me) you can still select the beginning character to progress the story and unlock more characters.
High damage stuff and good weapons should be put later on so they can help you kill more and harder enemies. They are wasted when you use them immediately on the few easy enemies
The Golden Ear is something you should have gotten
You can switch characters
golden ear just gives you hp when you collect gold, also if you're referring to relics that activate on special power use - swapping with akohan and zoe isnt considered a special power since its free
Congrats : )
AKOHAN!
Ayy congrats. Keep her moving
"I did everything I could." Except read the boss mechanics T.T
Neat vid
I was wondering if you'll make a vid about meme mayhem (it's out now), ever since the demo version it looked kinda promising and an olexa type game
Ya it be on my large growing backlog list
@@OlexaYT nice nice looking forward to it
The akohan arc
very nice
He's done it!
you attacked twice with zoe before using her power skill. that halfs her damage and leaves enemies alive.
Let the RNG gods let Olexa move on to another character 😅
You did it!
I FINALLY got passed him as a pc. I really enjoyed the first character but this guy is not great and I was very glad to be passed him.
This game reminds me a lot of card thief on mobile, i wonder how they're related
Goodbye ferret friend!
5:55 the claw will likely not be that useful since you most often 1hko the enemies anyway and their lower damage(health) pool only applies when the frost wears off.
6:50 Oh
Im always watching
You should really walk into the watch tower before each run, it can massively help you out
I don’t want to make the game easier just because
@@OlexaYT fair, it also has a few options that just change some stuff, add challenges, or seemingly there are rare times where there are modifiers that show up that are there for one run then not seen again for a long time, or at least in the demo i have seen Several such things pop up.

We win theese!!
Immediate clickage
same
not a promising title tho😅
Istg, if he moves with the wrong character one more time... lol

JUST ONE MORE RUN
My main hesitation with buying the game is that I found the demo way too easy. I made a poison build and I DESTROYED the boss.
Is the difficulty well balanced in the full game?
Rerolling wouldve been a decent idea with 50 gold
Is pyrene coming to ps5 and phone?
52:55 jsut pick up with zoe atleast?
Frosted enemies deal 1 dmg. STOP WASTE FROSTED TURNS TO COLLECT LOOT.
Gimme a timestamp where you expect me to maximize frost here
Video getting longer and longer 😮
On the first run. Not taking the item that does 9 damage to ALL enemies for 3 supplies killed your run. You didnt need that card for the normal battles, but you couldve top decked it for the boss battle and destroyed it in 1 or two turns.
i think the indication of which character is active is not eye catchy enough
Characters after akohan are so fun to play watching you actively hurts me
Just. Play. Anyone. ELSE.
You're just playing too quickly! At the beginning of the video, when you were taking a few seconds to stop and think about your moves each turn you were absolutely crushing. The second you started chatting while moving (and every time after that) is when Bad Things™started happening.
The good news is you're doing it to yourself, the bad news is you're doing it to yourself hahaha
Could you think longer before you make a play please
Won’t be doing that, no
