i mean to be fair best thing he coulda done would be steal broadsword or fireball... that would probably have had him win v marshmallow but maybe not the rolls were ridiculous.
Hey there NL, I have been watching your videos for a long ass time now probably around five or so years now. I was just barely a high school student when I first started watching you and I thought It would have taken me much longer but I recently joined the bald brothers. My hair for whatever reason started receding and fast. I wasn’t too happy about it. However after getting back into your videos and seeing you just own having no hair it really changed the outlook I had on myself and pushed me to do the first shave.
I'm sure you look amazing bro. Bald is a completely normal look, I hope watching NL has increased your confidence a bit because you deserve it just as much as anyone else.
Put another point on the board for the glorious and sudden arrival of Eggcam. His shirt may be disgustingly wrinkly, but damn that dome is smooooth baby.
NL “we get to keep the equipment we steal? That sounds like a bonus!” Also NL: *doesn’t steal any equipment from enemies that probably won’t kill him* Also also NL: *Loses* “This is gonna sound very salt driven, but I honestly don’t know what we could’ve done different there?” He did a great job learning from his mistake, just find it funny that he went with “there was nothing I could do, dude” before he learnt.
@@davidivad1221 I got the bear from the first thief ep where you get to use an equipment, blew my mind getting the whole new character the rest of the run haha
Spoiler for a very specific Easter egg If you steal the bear potion from the scientist looking lady you become a special character for the rest of the run, and the characters in the game even talks to you as if you’re a bear, it’s super powerful, everyone should try it out.
Hacksaw on 1: turns potential 2 damage into 6 damage hacksaw on 6: turns potential 0 damage into either 9 or 12 damage nl please i get that splitting ones gives you endorphins but think of the damage
Yo, walks through the poison math "that's a huge difference from 3 to 5 poison." Literally 5 seconds later: "5 uses instead of three? Meh." That said this was a fun run, neat synergy!
yeah but upgraded dagger typically is better than just poison needle, even upgraded poison needle. 5 1's in upgraded poison needle is 5 poison, but 5 1's in dagger is 10 damage, it would take 3 turns for that 5 damage to pass daggers.
@@napalm777 yeah but then do math for 6, 7, 8 poison. After 2 turns of 5 poison, adding 1 poison = damage all 5 daggers. You're right though, in this game scaling doesnt seem to matter much at all.
Watching the first few episodes of this series made me think that maybe NL actually knew what he was doing. After watching this and the jester episode it's like slay the spire all over again.
Thief episode two sounds easy AF. Fight Sneezy, steal Sneeze, then try to get a bunch of other stuff that increases chances for high rolls, upgrade Dagger, and boom: turn all your high rolls into 1s and do 2 damage a pop with them. Hell, you could also throw in a Poison Needle to stack up poison while you're at it.
dear egg, if your ability requires a 3 at maximum, odds are more valuable to you. Meaning an even ability would be better to add to your arsenal. 1,3,5 > 2,4,6 when your main damaging move does a maximum of 3 on roll. love the series. Bought the game because of you! 9:40 btw
I had this same run, but instead of battle ax I stole Sneeze's dice splitting move. I ended up rearranging my equipment because it was so annoying dragging so many 1s across the screen.
When I did thief episode 2, I got sneeze, and poison needle (max 2, poison 1, 3 uses per turn), and had 2 lockpicks. I upgraded daggers, poison needle, and sneeze and just went to town with 1s, poisoning 5 time per turn, and dealing tons of +1 damage with the dagger. I think at one poibt I had 18 or 23 dice with maybe 3 - 4 non 1s, but still less than 4. It was the mist fun Ive had on a run, and Ill probably never be that lucky again xD
Man, I love how stinkin' wholesome this game is. Maybe by episode 4 or 5 we'll all be pulling our hair out because the difficulty really ramps up--I don't know--but, right now, it's looking pretty swell.
I stole a Teleport Spell from Wizard, upgraded it, also had Bump and I went against the Boss that only could do one attack per turn. She literally could never touch me.
Has option of 2 items and an upgrade. Compares the two items and decides he wants neither and just ignores the upgrade? Chooses not to take a free upgrade? I am fairly certain he ha equipment that could have benefited from an upgrade.
A better episode than most mistake wise. Honestly you just have to slow down. It's not like you are riffing in isaac, your commentary is solely on the game so who cares if you talk things out fully? Also splitting 1s is nice, but it isn't the go to move for every run. I feel like some of those automatic moves you make limit your potential
@@TheWorldBelowDnD episode 2 for robot is duplicate dice automatically vanish(only the new one you roll). Kind of annoying because planning moves risks rolling a dupe
Yo I don't play this game so can someone who does tell me how he wins that first run the only option he had was to steal on the first floor but what equipment would have saved him from that spicy boi?
Just finally finished this damn Challenge. The Thief just is wayyy to weak in the first two floors and it's just frustrating dying because you always roll fives and sixes that split into >3 values or maybe the occasional one. There's like literally nothing you can do and you just have to hope to get past the first few floors on autopilot... definitely needs some fixes.
Yeah, that first run... that's my problem with this game. I feel like very often my own input is completely irrelevant. I mean, you pick equipment and one says "do x damage" and other equipment will do something similar but do something on top of that. The choice there isn't exactly rocket science. You pick the equipment that does more. I feel like my input here sucks. Or what about the equipment that does poison damage, and you no other equipment that does poison damage. It's completely useless. This isn't a hard choice, and not really a fun one either. It's not even the rolls that annoy me. Most of the time the rolls can be manipulated anyway. The Witch doesn't even really need specific numbers. The Warrior can reroll three times by default. The Thief has the lockpick. The Robot will always hit his CPU limit. The rolls themselves are only a small part of the RNG problem. But just getting shit equipment can be so annoying. What are you even supposed to do at that point? You can't even always decide who to fight. Like you fighting that Marshmellow. You couldn't fight someone else (I think, not gonna scroll back). You literally got shit rolls and terrible equipment against an enemy suddenly a lot stronger than the level 1 enemies and you just died. Literally nothing you can do. I hate that. At least in Isaac you can compensate. In Slay the Spire it really isn't ever THAT bad and the path you chose is a large reason why you died anyway. In this game, you just kind of die and it's a waste of your time and it's not fun that way. I like the game in general, but damn, the RNG is too powerfull.
I died like 10 consecutive times to this challenge within the first 2 floors. It is so hard to get a good start when your passive and limit break do so little in the earlygame.

“Ayyyeverybody I.... uh... should not be recording...” *turns off recording and goes to bed*
That sounds like something NL absolutely does but then doesn't upload to UA-cam.
Imagine an Egg_drill youtube channel
Egg: "Maybe it's worth investing into finder's keeper's."
Well yeah that's kinda why it's there in the first place.
> Doesn't steal attacks
"we need more attacks"
> Loses
"there's nothing I could have done, dude"
honestly wanted to go feral when he lost but didn't seem to get why. but I couldn't cause I was at work so I just suffered in silence.
i mean to be fair best thing he coulda done would be steal broadsword or fireball... that would probably have had him win v marshmallow but maybe not the rolls were ridiculous.
But there’s nothing he could’ve done dude
This man invented irony!
Stealing sneeze and using an upgraded poison needle is a god tier synergy
I figure Aoife would have destroyed him if that were his build
@@UM96lol I mean, I fought against her with that build and had minimal issues.
Uzii poison goes through shield tho, right?
@@MRCOLOURfilld Yeah but her damage is based on how much shield she has.
NL found yet another game to make a shiv build

His shirt may be disgustingly wrinkly, but damn that dome is smooooth baby.
You are just finding reasons to watch more nl content, aren't you?
Just started watching and gotta say that shirt looks kinda wrinkled. Maybe it's the lighting.
Holy moly
🧐 wtf
so?? you gotta phobia of wrinkled shirts? lol
Nah it’s just his wrinkly body

After watching you play this I went and bought it myself. Thank you. It's such a fun game
Zaylan Johnston me too!!
same here just after the second episode
same
I got it but it's kicking my butt!
Same here, just started the playlist this week and was hooked
I stole sneeze from sneezy and duplicated my way to a super run with an upgraded dagger. Love this game.
Same, sneeze is basically a non-negotiable. Pair it with poison needle and you're pretty much unstoppable.
I did the same but I also got the wizard 1 spell which on upgrade freezes all enemy dies. Best run yet for me
I stole the bear spell then became a bear
@@davidivad1221 I got the bear from the first thief ep where you get to use an equipment, blew my mind getting the whole new character the rest of the run haha
Will the Egg ever use the only thing that makes this run good?
Let's find out.
Nope.
like twice XD
Will the Egg take Crowbar when he has finders keepers and pea shooter?
No, he takes the subpar poison needle.
Spoiler for a very specific Easter egg
If you steal the bear potion from the scientist looking lady you become a special character for the rest of the run, and the characters in the game even talks to you as if you’re a bear, it’s super powerful, everyone should try it out.
Hacksaw on 1: turns potential 2 damage into 6 damage
hacksaw on 6: turns potential 0 damage into either 9 or 12 damage
nl please i get that splitting ones gives you endorphins but think of the damage
But imagine that rewarding feeling when you can roll the slot machine more often and get the blink and the exciting noises.
Him always spliting the 3s instead of the 4
Egghead missed so many chances to proc Finders Keepers, he missed out on so many possible pieces of equipment.
Yeah but he had a good synergy, probably didn't need it
Really should stop ending turns with something to dump into finders keepers, might as well have options at the end.
Trying to go to fast again
Glorious egg dies in the first 5 mins
I stole Sneezy's item that splits any dice into 1's and used it with poison needle and dagger+. OP
Same here
Passes up backstab on the literal build that's meant for backstab....
Your shirts not wrinkled your muscles are just getting too big 💪💪
lol good one.
Gabriel Mortensen All those protein shakes filled with super creatine is paying off 💪

5 1's in upgraded poison needle is 5 poison, but 5 1's in dagger is 10 damage, it would take 3 turns for that 5 damage to pass daggers.
This game doesn't lend itself to stacking up small poison unless you're whole deck is built around it and shield
@@napalm777 yeah but then do math for 6, 7, 8 poison. After 2 turns of 5 poison, adding 1 poison = damage all 5 daggers. You're right though, in this game scaling doesnt seem to matter much at all.
@@Nicktals but in that same regard, 2 turns of 5 poison, or 2 turns of 10 damage, 10 damage still wins.
Watching the first few episodes of this series made me think that maybe NL actually knew what he was doing. After watching this and the jester episode it's like slay the spire all over again.
This episode was actually decent for him. Most he makes major errors that lead to death
Loving the series, NL! Hits that StS sweet spot for me.

Oof it's 3 am here. Yolk me up eggdaddy
Are you dutch or german?
@@karstenveltman5472 german :b
When playing as the thief I stole the teleport spell from the wizard and won easily. Finders keepers is a great ability
egg: This guy can do a lot of damage
egg: we need more damage
finders keepers: Am I a joke to you?
Good video thanks for the late night company.
I had this same run, but instead of battle ax I stole Sneeze's dice splitting move. I ended up rearranging my equipment because it was so annoying dragging so many 1s across the screen.

It was the mist fun Ive had on a run, and Ill probably never be that lucky again xD
When everything comes together and Enelle just starts dusting fools, man that's good. Great series.
Man, I love how stinkin' wholesome this game is. Maybe by episode 4 or 5 we'll all be pulling our hair out because the difficulty really ramps up--I don't know--but, right now, it's looking pretty swell.
Poison needle can be safely discarded once you have dagger+. Unless you upgrade it and can reliably get 4 ones.
Thanks for the upload Ryan
26:40 finders keepers: am I a joke to you?
I stole a Teleport Spell from Wizard, upgraded it, also had Bump and I went against the Boss that only could do one attack per turn. She literally could never touch me.
Honestly love just throwing up an NL vid while i program. Having the egg in the background helps me focus. Keep it up bb
With your build and playstyle, backstab is amazing, really amazing
I love this series, thanks for making these videos!
Thanks for the company
Has option of 2 items and an upgrade. Compares the two items and decides he wants neither and just ignores the upgrade? Chooses not to take a free upgrade? I am fairly certain he ha equipment that could have benefited from an upgrade.
egg, you super undervalue back stab. it could have been dealing 8+ damage for you.
The funny thing is if he’d stolen the dodge the boss wouldn’t have been able to ever hit him
This series so far has been amazing to watch. Loving every moment of it Ryan. Keep it up!
Honestly love this series
Hope you try Crowbar meta some day, it becomes kind of ridiculous.
Any Odd requirement equipment is god-tier on this run. snatching Echo Blast from the loud bird is so good
Hey NL you tend to leave the battle axe unused, but it's better than dagger+ for all usable dice (except a 1 where it's equal).
You also don't use 5s and 6s and end the turn instead of putting them into Finders Keepers
call me crazy but wouldn't backstab have crazy synergy with a dagger build?
A better episode than most mistake wise. Honestly you just have to slow down. It's not like you are riffing in isaac, your commentary is solely on the game so who cares if you talk things out fully? Also splitting 1s is nice, but it isn't the go to move for every run. I feel like some of those automatic moves you make limit your potential
The thief’s dagger next to NLs webcam keeps tricking me into thinking he’s moving his arm LOL
Always put a die in battle axe if you have a 2, 3, or 4. It’s simply better than dagger.
It was weird when he said battleaxe- was horrible because even 2x a max of 2 is better than 2+1
"What could I have done?" Doesn't ever try to steal a single fucking equipment which is the whole point of the run
USE YOUR EXTRA DICE TO STEAL EQUIPMENT!!!
“Hey guys, I should not be recording this late!”
No prob I shouldn’t be watching this late
I fought a Sneezy on my first play of this episode, and y'all... it took off something fierce.
This one should be called "Papercuts"

Been waiting for this all day egg father
Yo the t-shirt just makes you look jacked with the wrinkles- a true gamer egg!
I will say that watching this is a rollcoaster as you seem to make really weird mistakes but at least are more finding them as you play.
nice one egg
Dagger + is insanely OP
what do you mean its embarrassed to have a wrinkly shirt ?
ironing is literally unnecessary
I would like to sign a petition to make NL not skip lore
I require this daily.
Love this game ^ - ^
hey. Egg. It's been "a bit". Might be time to re-title "300 episodes incoming."
Let me sleep eggman
Did nobody talk about his Aoife pronunciation?
Why wouldn't you take the crowbar you hardboiled egg?

2*2 vs 2+1
hmmmm
Listen to the dice????
PLEASE STEAL it’s FUN and a unique character trait that can create drastically different builds! P L E A S E
Don't iron the t-shirt it looks good
I need more dicey dungeon father

Just finally finished this damn Challenge. The Thief just is wayyy to weak in the first two floors and it's just frustrating dying because you always roll fives and sixes that split into >3 values or maybe the occasional one.

Aoife is still pronounced 'eefa'.
Yeah, that first run... that's my problem with this game. I feel like very often my own input is completely irrelevant. I mean, you pick equipment and one says "do x damage" and other equipment will do something similar but do something on top of that. The choice there isn't exactly rocket science.

You literally got shit rolls and terrible equipment against an enemy suddenly a lot stronger than the level 1 enemies and you just died. Literally nothing you can do.
I hate that. At least in Isaac you can compensate. In Slay the Spire it really isn't ever THAT bad and the path you chose is a large reason why you died anyway. In this game, you just kind of die and it's a waste of your time and it's not fun that way.
