Dude, I absolutely LOVE these narrated build playthroughs. I seriously can’t get enough. I was hooked the entire time! Excellent content as always, my man!
The amount of impact in the world as a whole with the idea of Tsar bullets. The level of vitriol that went into that idea shows how much hatred the caldera rebels had for zephyrian
Tsar stones are the rarest item in this entire world. To take a life changing gem and melt it down into a single use bullet is wild. I mean whatever gets hit is never moving again, but wow that's a lot of effort for any one target. Now that I think about it... what happened to the other bullet? 2 crafted but I think only one used.
@@adamxei9073 She was shot by the second bullet. The reason Elatt couldn't save zephyrian but could save Queen Calixa is because she had to become living thought by sacrificing (Willing) members of the holy mission. Dialogue from game. (#1) (She breathes with difficulty... Her body is numb and paralyzed from the poison. Her armor somewhat softened the blow, but the bullet still pierced her skin. Elatt's power is keeping her alive, but just barely.) (→ end)
I dont play Outward now, but dude your videos were the only resource I used to help me progress. Tried to go in blind for a while but got frustrated. Thanks for your efforts!
Outward is incredibly brutal when you have little knowledge about mechanics, monsters, and the world in general. The more you know though, the more fun you can have. Glad the vids helped you out!
@@SheenShotsyou should try fade to silence it's a souls like survival game it's not perfect but it's decent has some unique survival elements/mechanics.
The light backpack has a hidden effect. The light from it, can not been seen by enemies then you sneak (really good for rogue characters). all other light source will be seen by enemies. Good video :D
I love how in the start of this you seemed to be anticipating how slow and imbalanced the great axe is but you had no problem absolutely clobbering everything you came across. Great video!
This looked so interesting, got the game last night, and holy crap this game is a different beast. Every fight feels like a very real struggle for survival.
It's really something else. Very unpolished at times, but they really tried to make something different and great and that wins me over. Sure, the story delivery and a lot of the explanations could've been more fleshed out. Did we really need to borrow the Dark Souls buff system where buffs only last for like 30 seconds (rags and potions I mean mostly, as food buffs last much longer)? Did we really need skills to CONSUME your powerful buffs on use? Did the quests and interactions need to be so incredibly vague? I don't know, but Outward absolutely oozes passion and charisma and a willingness to try something different and unique, so I always go back to it periodically. I've never even "finished" the game outside of doing the Levant quest one time. But it's sooooooooooo damn cool, and cozy.
Another outward movie 10/10 Also please use legacy more if you do more of these (I know it's alot of work) I think it's awesome to show off some of the legacy items
Legacy chests are really cool I agree. They also take you to places at least one place I guess that you otherwise would never go to. Ill take a look at some fun options for the next run for sure.
I am actually kinda happy you made another video, I reinstalled my game and was heavily considering also doing the bow set up as it looks alot of fun, I havent played alot but remember struggling alot with the game. The more I watch, the more I can learn. Also the long form content makes it fantastic to have on.
Bow is an easy one to learn that is only hard when you can't find iron. Melee combat is honestly the peek form of Outward combat, but its really hard to make to flow smoothly until you are more familiar with monsters. Glad you enjoyed this vid!
Wow! I was just watching your videos and man, the quality is amazing. I love your storytelling, it reminds me of the good old days of frankyonpcin1080p. I'll have to watch more of your videos. They've inspired me to try again the game I abandoned long ago due to my lack of understanding of the gameplay. Keep up the good work!
Great video! I love how you tell the story and explain the lore as you progress. I ran almost the same build but with more of a focus on cooldown to use skills more often.
Hey man! good to see you back on Outward... I started looking at your channel because of this game. You helped me a lot on understanding WTF was going on LOL. Let`s go Outward 2!
Early game corruption plan... don't go there. lol not all that helpful but ya without any coin simply stay out of corruption at all costs. Once you can at least buy a potion or two sanctifier potions are sold in every town from every alchemist. So they should be enough to keep you untainted.
I would say both one and two handed axes are in a league of their own. The special attack combo gets a 1.3x damage and impact multiplier on all their hits, which is nuts. You can trade a bit of offense for better defense in making a build, and still deal as much if not more damage than other weapons thanks to the special combo. The only real downside to the weapon is the stamina consumption, which is something you have to specifically build for moreso than any other weapon type. It’s a bit akward to get pain and confusion on a 2h axe, but you can come up with something if you really need it.
Me and my brother used to play outward together all the time, then one of our controllers broke so we couldn’t anymore, now we’ve fixed the controllers and we can finally play this beauty again
I really like this fortmat, good narrating AND you give good tipps and tricks during your run. I would really like to see the same run attempted with drum or chimes only, its a rather unpopular opinion, but Primal ritualist is my favorite class and there is not much coverage about it. thanks for making so much contend on outward.
Love these vids. I made a no magic run with board and mace. Worked really well. I managed to make a horror mace.. which was rediculously strong at this point in time. Also had the tower shield. I managed to get enougj money to buy out the spellblade tree (gong strike). With that, the horro mace, tower shield, blue sand set.. i felt immortal... so of course with that inflated ego... i attempted to go for the skycrown mace.. Cleared the trash mobs... but the cannibal messed me up.. first death... was my only death as hardcore claimed my attempt. Lol Started a new one, same concept, mace and board, but gonna watch myself as i go. No matter how strong i believe myself to be. Lol
Horror mace is still an absolute monster that you can acquire easily. First cannibal doesn't sound or look hard right away, but he can very quickly catch you from which you can't recover quickly. That cave he is in can feel a bit crowned as well which makes dodging a tad harder. Mage and shield is actually one of my favorite combos for the paladin feel. A fun way to play through the entire game really.
Ok dude!!! I started my 3'rd run HC on Outward and I got a Peralbird mask on my 2 kill, and 10 seconds after another damn drop. hahah! been a while I been so glad for a drop ^^ Keep going you are making so damn good content
My main focus on runs like these is not to use too many of the same items. And while I agree it makes for better content, I also think it makes the game more fun for me. Relying on different resources to go through each quest gets very interesting sometimes.
One thing I discovered while doing an only dagger run is that. You can enchant really early an iron weapon with unsuspected strength, killing the light elemental in the Voltaic Hatchery and picking up 2 dreamers root to make the admiral incense
Man, this run came at such a good time; I've been fiending for more Outward myself, but I can't risk playing it since the update apparently caused all kinds of major quest breaking bugs on PS5, which is the only place I can play it. Until they roll back the patch or release a bugfix, I will have to content myself with watching other people enjoy this game.
Would love to see you do a full hardcore outward build using Guns, just getting into Outward and i saw some of your pistol vids but i would like a guide/walkthrough like this video about it.
Honestly i always do a greataxe playthrough. Set up right and they hit like a truck. One tip though. If you talk to burac at the gate with cloth fist weapons on, he'll teach you enrage for free after you jump through the hoops of "getting ready" to leave town. I found the skill invaluable for my playthroughs. Another tip, uou dont actually have to fight the ghost, im pretty sure you can drink the wine and you'll still get the tsar stone
Enrage cane be a monster early on. I like execution there as well because of its high damage boost but totally agree that's an excellent way to go. Started out not liking the axe much and grew to love in a single playthrough. Was a blast actually.
Man this got me to go back to Outward after a while. I love seeing these long, narrated videos. Not sure what you're thinking for the next video, but I think a rune and/or chakram build would be interesting, similar to the Wolfgang warrior in the arena. The runic magic is what got me to try the game to begin with, so seeing a long video based around it would be awesome. Alternatively, chakrams always seemed cool but I could never get the hang of them. I usually have to use a mod to either remove the focus requirement or just give me more quick slots to make it easier to use with other builds. So either videos on them seperately or a video of them together would be super fun and interesting.
I played with dreamers haldberd, saw the greataxe in caldera and looked up how to make Grind, changed my entire outfit to boost physical dmg and use an axe, come to youtube and see your axe video. Say "sweet imma learn something for my Grind grind", and first sentence "it is the hardest weapon to play outward with" .... fuuck D: Great vid tho!
Brother this adventure was so good and well edited, it inspired me to start a new run. Going to do again my favorite build. Dreamer halberd powered up by Primal ritualist, warrior monk and hex mage. It demolishes everything in the game with that green copal armor!
It is a monster of a weapon for sure. Still my favorite weapon in the game to build around I think. especially since the move set on those weapons are really strong.
Ngl Backlogs sent me over for the Salt and Sanctuary Content...but you not only got me sold as a subscriber... I think you sold me on giving this game another shot (played it once and got scared off by its...let's call them Eccentricities)
Watching this gives me hope, only just started playing a little while back but playing with Big axe and Bow, clearly need to upgrade as some of these look great.
Bow and big axe is even more interesting. You can set up fights with your bow by inflicting things like pain and then move in with the axe. Also lets you avoid melee combat with monsters you aren't very good at fighting.
Greataxes are amazing. And stamina consumption to DPS ratio is really good. But they are probably one of the hardest weapons to master. Same as hammers and maces
when fighting the Tuanasaur in conflux mountain you can take a left at the bottom of the path along the water and run through the hole, he cannot fit through it allowing free hits as long as youre careful
Mixed Spellsword/Rune Sage/Hex Mage, it's so much fun. My wife tanks it and applies confusion while I stack hexes and place traps before I pop all of the hexes at once.
Yes this is a very cool way to go. Lots of access to different magic options. heck of an option in coop especially to avoid having enemy attention all the time.
I've always wanted to play this game, it's been in my steam library for years but gosh is it damn janky and slow but when I see people play it makes it look so fun
Once you get a handle on how things feel in combat it gets WAY more fun. Starting out it does feel clunky and difficult to react to enemies. Well worth the time investment if your looking for long term content to play though.
Well what a great presentation. Very enjoyable. Thank you for your effort. If I was one quarter as good as you, I might actually defeat a litch . 7000 hours of game time still cannot beat one. So a litch weapon won't make my armory.
Go grab yourself some entomber armor from the tailor in levant. Use a decay boon and you will then be nearly immune to decay which is the only damage he does. Now grab any weapon and a lightning varnish and you can trash him in probably 20 seconds. Light mender is tough, but jade lich can be tanked through no problem in the right gear.
I dont understand what some people are upset that Outward 2 wont come out this year or next. Everyone needs to remember this game was not made by a massive game studio it was made by a small indie team i mean *small* they said a long time ago that when they were making the game that they didnt wanna be tied down to a release date/dead line they wanted there own time to work on it and what came out is a masterpiece in my opinion for a small indie dev team. Its like a open world dark souls like game before elden ring came out ofc i know theres some other games that were like that but this is one of them thats actually is good. And i also see people complaning that Outward 2 will focuse more towards Roleplay... Roleplay for a game means that world will change based on your choices not by dressing up as a anime character and going to weebcon whatever the fk its called idc. But the point is that its going to change the world you clear a fortress of shi now ppl live there and theres shops and a carvan showing up or join the people at the fort and commit crimes to join them. Oh shi theres a village under attack you fight off the attack save the town and no longer on fire or you help them raid the village and burn it down and now its a friendly bandit camp and your on good terms with them and can join them even learn bandit skills. Also RP can be being a knight or a wizard or archer some lord of the rings shit... Your not him lil bro😂. Your choice. So thats what they meant by roleplay.
Myrmitaur name explanation: The "Myrm" part is a reference to "myrmidons", a Greek term appearing in Homer's Iliad referring to the soldiers commanded by Achilles. They took their name from their ruler, Myrmidon, who was the son of a princess who was seduced by the god Zeus (supposedly, in the form of an ant. Greek mythology is weird). In classical Greek, myrmedon translates to "ant nest", or ant people. That's why the myrmitaurs appear in a cave that is very similar to an ant nest. The "Taur" part is a dual reference: a centaur is a mythological cross between a horse and a man, and it also references the Minotaur, a cross between a man and a bull that guarded the labyrinth that Daedalus was imprisoned in with his son Icarus. The Minotaur was the offspring of the daughter of King Minos and Zeus (again. Zeus was very, VERY horny for a god), this time Zeus took the form of a great bull, hence the half-bull bit. The star constellation Taurus, which is also a birthsign, is in the shape of a bull. Hence, the name "myrmitaur" - Ant/bull hybrids. They charge aggressively, they have two horn-like protrusions on their heads, and they hatch from eggs in a nest very much like ants. Horrifying to contemplate, but undoubtedly quite creative on the part of the developers of Outward.
Nice, please make this a series with all weapon types. Would also love a run with the cerulean saber with the rainbow hex enchantment and rust lich armor.
@@SheenShots My favorite build since its highly modular, you can use it with elementa shield, manticore dagger or pistols. and after using rupture you deal even more damage.
My first play-through of the game I used great axes. They're super simple. The short range, multi-hit heavy attack, and ability "Execution" seem like good game design that clearly indicates how this weapon class should be played; stick close and pummel your enemies. Honestly, I feel like the game could be completed with just the heavy attack and Execution. They're that good. Slap on some heavy armor and just tank-and-spank the game. I did. That being said, I think there is a very low skill ceiling. The short range, slow attacks, and long-commitment to the heavy attack chains don't lend themselves to tactical combat. You really won't learn the technical aspects of the game and combat when it is so easy (and necassary because of the short, slow, clunky moveset) to brute force your way to victory.
I totally agree with your assessment here. When I first tried greataxes they just felt clunky. Ya the combos are awesome, but they also lock you into weird and more unpredictable movements. Especially early on in the game you can't rely on armor to fix this issue so I always switched to a different weapon. Actually giving the item time to grow with my build made leaps and bounds. If you can stun lock enemies during crushing combos the combat feels more fen than ever.
I think for this type of build, whiplash is still better overall. Perfect strike already deals raw damage based on your weapons' current damage damage. Since the raw damage of the poltergeist enchant can't be increased by physical damage buffs, you essentially lose half of your damage bonus outright.
I was not 100% sure if either would be better than the other at first. Here's what I concluded after messing with them though: Whiplash is generally a weak enchant since it grants very little damage increase. However, it is quite strong on tsar items alone because they get a much higher base damage multiplied. So for a standard build where you go all out on physical damage, say maybe zagis armor and all that, Whiplash is best. Or Kasite armor as well gets nice physical buffs. Poltergeist is the biggest buff you can give most weapons since now super weak physical damage can just be converted into something that always cuts through HP. For tsar the advantage is never worrying about enemy weaknesses specifically if you use wind infuse your damage never suffers. So ultimately it comes down to how you design your build which is great to see. I think because I wasn't focusing on physical alone my choice was the better option for this specific run. But then one single armor change and Whiplash is ganna be way better. Heck I think you can get over like 120 some physical in a single hit with whiplash, discipline, and zagis armor.
@sheenshots you chose the exact same breakthrus that I did for my first full melee character so that makes me feel better. I just got the Dreamer Halberd and it’s great!
I don't like taking all three most runs because its a lot of focus on attack skills. But as long as you keep alpha sandwiches at the ready they are readily available for every encounter. Dreamer is a beast. I still think one of if not the best weapon in the game.
Another great video, I love these videos. One question, do you know Enshrouded? They say it's good. I haven't tried it yet, but what I've been able to see is similar to Outward. Maybe you'll like it.
I have heard of enshrouded and looked into it. As far as I know it is still in beta. But I will definitely check it out when it fully releases at least.
OH SHIT NEW OUTWARD VIDEO FROM THE LEGEND HIMSELF
Dude, I absolutely LOVE these narrated build playthroughs. I seriously can’t get enough. I was hooked the entire time!
Excellent content as always, my man!
Thanks that is great to hear! Probably will do a magic only next, although that scares me because I can't go tank lol.
I CAN'T WAIT! I was watching and hoping for a mage run ❤@@SheenShots
I've never heard of you and I have no idea WTF an Outward is, but I like listening to you talking about it. Good job, nice video.
The amount of impact in the world as a whole with the idea of Tsar bullets. The level of vitriol that went into that idea shows how much hatred the caldera rebels had for zephyrian
Tsar stones are the rarest item in this entire world. To take a life changing gem and melt it down into a single use bullet is wild.

@@SheenShots you’re right, it wasn’t stated the queen was shot with one. If she was it would’ve destroyed her
@@adamxei9073 She was shot by the second bullet.
The reason Elatt couldn't save zephyrian but could save Queen Calixa is because she had to become living thought by sacrificing (Willing) members of the holy mission.

1 tsar stone per bullet Lol
We all know that Sheen works hard on this videos.
But without doubt the MVP is the lantern... always on, always vigilant.
Since the very first video... I have never changed lol
One day there will be an enemie only visible in the light of a lantern, then sheen will have the last laugh :D
I dont play Outward now, but dude your videos were the only resource I used to help me progress. Tried to go in blind for a while but got frustrated. Thanks for your efforts!
Outward is incredibly brutal when you have little knowledge about mechanics, monsters, and the world in general. The more you know though, the more fun you can have. Glad the vids helped you out!
I'd actually love to see a run like this with the Greatswords in game.
feeling so much pain waiting for outward 2 knowing it’s won’t be out soon
Yes, I would indeed love to be playing it right now lol. Guess more outward 1 will have to o for the time being.
@@SheenShots YES!!!!
I read this comment, i pain, i look up, outward, i smile. Love this game. When you guys thinking number 2 be out? 😮😢
@@SheenShotsyou should try fade to silence it's a souls like survival game it's not perfect but it's decent has some unique survival elements/mechanics.
Hoping so badly it has multiplayer or cross play co-op is fun but when there is a group of us we have to end up playing something else.
The light backpack has a hidden effect.
The light from it, can not been seen by enemies then you sneak (really good for rogue characters).
all other light source will be seen by enemies.
Good video :D
I love how in the start of this you seemed to be anticipating how slow and imbalanced the great axe is but you had no problem absolutely clobbering everything you came across. Great video!
Love the outward content. Thanks for circling back every now and again to what i feel like is the roots of how i found you in the first place!
Very happy to see you made this video.
You even narrate the whole adventure and cut the video nicely. gosh !
This looked so interesting, got the game last night, and holy crap this game is a different beast. Every fight feels like a very real struggle for survival.
It's really something else.
Very unpolished at times, but they really tried to make something different and great and that wins me over.
Sure, the story delivery and a lot of the explanations could've been more fleshed out. Did we really need to borrow the Dark Souls buff system where buffs only last for like 30 seconds (rags and potions I mean mostly, as food buffs last much longer)?

So glad having more content of outward from you. Even after the relentless grind in Three brothers i still go back from time to time.
Another outward movie 10/10
Also please use legacy more if you do more of these (I know it's alot of work) I think it's awesome to show off some of the legacy items
Legacy chests are really cool I agree. They also take you to places at least one place I guess that you otherwise would never go to. Ill take a look at some fun options for the next run for sure.
I love your live runs. I learned so much from your conversations
Glad to hear it! I will likely do some of my runs like this live here soon.

Wow! I was just watching your videos and man, the quality is amazing. I love your storytelling, it reminds me of the good old days of frankyonpcin1080p.
I'll have to watch more of your videos. They've inspired me to try again the game I abandoned long ago due to my lack of understanding of the gameplay. Keep up the good work!

HELL YEAH BROTHER.
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
Q: how do you deal with early game corruption build up??
Early game corruption plan... don't go there. lol not all that helpful but ya without any coin simply stay out of corruption at all costs. Once you can at least buy a potion or two sanctifier potions are sold in every town from every alchemist. So they should be enough to keep you

@@SheenShots No worries man. Honest truth is very useful. "Just get money and show up later" is still good advice!
I would say both one and two handed axes are in a league of their own.

Love the stuff. Love the Live ones too. I think your digs is the long form streams. keep it up!
Been a minute Sheen. So glad to see you still crushing Outward. Thank you for the new content. Awesome as usual.
Always a fun game to come back to.
Excellent playthrough! Love seeing challenge runs like this in Outward. Such a unique and full of life game.
Great storytelling! I felt like watching a big $ production 👌 Keep it up, Sheen :)
Love this playthrough with the narrative, please do more videos like this!
I LOVE your Outward content, your guides etc. It's always a good time watching your videos, thank you sir.
Awesome, glad to hear it!
That was greatest Outward video i have ever watched, so awesome, thanks man!
thank you so much for the gameplay and how narrative it is, please make more of these.
Great run Sheen! Greataxe is always my way to go when I have nothing better yet! However Worldedge is definitely my favourite!
Just a few fights with it and man the weapon is a beast. You can swing it so fast that monsters just fall over lol.
I really like this fortmat, good narrating AND you give good tipps and tricks during your run.
I would really like to see the same run attempted with drum or chimes only, its a rather unpopular opinion, but Primal ritualist is my favorite class and there is not much coverage about it.
thanks for making so much contend on outward.
New outward content!?!? I needed a new build but I know what I’m about to try now
I absolutely love these type of playthrough videos. Amazing content as always
Appreciate it.
Love these vids.
I made a no magic run with board and mace. Worked really well. I managed to make a horror mace.. which was rediculously strong at this point in time. Also had the tower shield. I managed to get enougj money to buy out the spellblade tree (gong strike).

I love these videos, This one inspired me to copy you and I've been replaying doing this build path. super fun!
Have I ever heard of this game? No. Am I about to watch a 2 hour video on it? Yes
Ok dude!!! I started my 3'rd run HC on Outward and I got a Peralbird mask on my 2 kill, and 10 seconds after another damn drop. hahah! been a while I been so glad for a drop ^^
Keep going you are making so damn good content
I really like the use of various armors and backpacks to show off that we dont always need to focus on the "best" items in the game.
My main focus on runs like these is not to use too many of the same items. And while I agree it makes for better content, I also think it makes the game more fun for me. Relying on different resources to go through each quest gets very interesting sometimes.
this is the kind of outward videos i wanted
OUTWARD CONTENT IN 2024!?
Hell yeah
Love the vid great concepts and perfectly “executed”!
Outward is never dies! one of my favorite game of all time, no cap. Cant wait for outward 2
One thing I discovered while doing an only dagger run is that. You can enchant really early an iron weapon with unsuspected strength, killing the light elemental in the Voltaic Hatchery and picking up 2 dreamers root to make the admiral incense
Man, this run came at such a good time; I've been fiending for more Outward myself, but I can't risk playing it since the update apparently caused all kinds of major quest breaking bugs on PS5, which is the only place I can play it.

Next time try a high physical damage armor or extra impact.
I've watched a lot of these videos but I got to watch this one as the greataxe is the only weapon I ever use.
Man this got me to go back to Outward after a while. I love seeing these long, narrated videos.
Not sure what you're thinking for the next video, but I think a rune and/or chakram build would be interesting, similar to the Wolfgang warrior in the arena.

Ah good idea on both fronts. Chakram is really cool once you get into it. And man that would be a tough hardcore run to. Ill look into it.
Thank you for the upload Sheen
You bet!
I played with dreamers haldberd, saw the greataxe in caldera and looked up how to make Grind, changed my entire outfit to boost physical dmg and use an axe, come to youtube and see your axe video. Say "sweet imma learn something for my Grind grind", and first sentence "it is the hardest weapon to play outward with" .... fuuck D:

Brother this adventure was so good and well edited, it inspired me to start a new run. Going to do again my favorite build. Dreamer halberd powered up by Primal ritualist, warrior monk and hex mage. It demolishes everything in the game with that green copal armor!
It is a monster of a weapon for sure. Still my favorite weapon in the game to build around I think. especially since the move set on those weapons are really strong.
I just got my brother to play outward we did the whole story coop, he really liked runic mage, it was sick so much fun ❤
Ngl Backlogs sent me over for the Salt and Sanctuary Content...but you not only got me sold as a subscriber... I think you sold me on giving this game another shot (played it once and got scared off by its...let's call them Eccentricities)
one of your best works man
Glad to hear it!
I would love to see more videos like this
Glad to hear the positive feedback.
@@SheenShots such good video deserves only positive feedback haha
OUTWARD at 2024 ? I love U !!!
Watching this gives me hope, only just started playing a little while back but playing with Big axe and Bow, clearly need to upgrade as some of these look great.
Bow and big axe is even more interesting. You can set up fights with your bow by inflicting things like pain and then move in with the axe. Also lets you avoid melee combat with monsters you aren't very good at fighting.
Love these videos, would love to see a dagger play through. I feel like daggers could be like great axe with massive damage potential
I have the weird habit of finding hidden gem games days before a sequel is announced
You're making me wanna play outward again lol
That was a great watch keep it up super entertaining
i came for the remnant stayed for the good content!
I can't wait for the halberd/greatsword run
Awesome video, definitely gun next would be awesome.
Greataxes are amazing. And stamina consumption to DPS ratio is really good. But they are probably one of the hardest weapons to master. Same as hammers and maces
Nice. Preservation backpack underrated for keeping regional buff foods in good supply.
Amazing for keeping food in your pack longer. Loved it.
@@SheenShots I just keep three alchemist backpacks in my house. They will preserve anything inside of it for months almost lol
Really enjoying this video :) Seriously love the effort you've put into Outward content. It's S tier shit man
Th...that was awesome. Cant believe I watched the whole thing.
I was planning on using greataxe as my main weapon on my first playthrough, but now im rethinking that decision
high quality content as always :D
As someone who doesnt like this game one bit because of the garbage melee combat this was super fun to watch. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
when fighting the Tuanasaur in conflux mountain you can take a left at the bottom of the path along the water and run through the hole, he cannot fit through it allowing free hits as long as youre careful
ok now do a guns only challenge run
Love your videos keep it up 👍
Mixed Spellsword/Rune Sage/Hex Mage, it's so much fun. My wife tanks it and applies confusion while I stack hexes and place traps before I pop all of the hexes at once.
Yes this is a very cool way to go. Lots of access to different magic options. heck of an option in coop especially to avoid having enemy attention all the time.
I love seeing Outward content in 2024
Dress,strawhat and 2h axe kinda goes hard.
Nice video, realy missed these
This video has me hyped for Outward 2.
Heck ya. I am prepping a little early if you can't tell lol.
@@SheenShots Any news yet from devs?
I've always wanted to play this game, it's been in my steam library for years but gosh is it damn janky and slow but when I see people play it makes it look so fun
Once you get a handle on how things feel in combat it gets WAY more fun. Starting out it does feel clunky and difficult to react to enemies. Well worth the time investment if your looking for long term content to play though.
once you learn it is so much fun
@@goodnamepleaseplease i'm really trying man ;-;
Well what a great presentation. Very enjoyable. Thank you for your effort. If I was one quarter as good as you, I might actually defeat a litch . 7000 hours of game time still cannot beat one. So a litch weapon won't make my armory.
Go grab yourself some entomber armor from the tailor in levant. Use a decay boon and you will then be nearly immune to decay which is the only damage he does. Now grab any weapon and a lightning varnish and you can trash him in probably 20 seconds. Light mender is tough, but jade lich can be tanked through no problem in the right gear.
I dont understand what some people are upset that Outward 2 wont come out this year or next. Everyone needs to remember this game was not made by a massive game studio it was made by a small indie team i mean *small* they said a long time ago that when they were making the game that they didnt wanna be tied down to a release date/dead line they wanted there own time to work on it and what came out is a masterpiece in my opinion for a small indie dev team. Its like a open world dark souls like game before elden ring came out ofc i know theres some other games that were like that but this is one of them thats actually is good.
And i also see people complaning that Outward 2 will focuse more towards Roleplay...
Roleplay for a game means that world will change based on your choices not by dressing up as a anime character and going to weebcon whatever the fk its called idc. But the point is that its going to change the world you clear a fortress of shi now ppl live there and theres shops and a carvan showing up or join the people at the fort and commit crimes to join them. Oh shi theres a village under attack you fight off the attack save the town and no longer on fire or you help them raid the village and burn it down and now its a friendly bandit camp and your on good terms with them and can join them even learn bandit skills. Also RP can be being a knight or a wizard or archer some lord of the rings shit... Your not him lil bro😂. Your choice. So thats what they meant by roleplay.
Man took an entire paragraph just to make sure weebs caught some stray shots. Bro who hurt you?
Insane videos
Looking forward for dagger only run
Myrmitaur name explanation:
The "Myrm" part is a reference to "myrmidons", a Greek term appearing in Homer's Iliad referring to the soldiers commanded by Achilles. They took their name from their ruler, Myrmidon, who was the son of a princess who was seduced by the god Zeus (supposedly, in the form of an ant. Greek mythology is weird). In classical Greek, myrmedon translates to "ant nest", or ant people. That's why the myrmitaurs appear in a cave that is very similar to an ant nest.
The "Taur" part is a dual reference: a centaur is a mythological cross between a horse and a man, and it also references the Minotaur, a cross between a man and a bull that guarded the labyrinth that Daedalus was imprisoned in with his son Icarus. The Minotaur was the offspring of the daughter of King Minos and Zeus (again. Zeus was very, VERY horny for a god), this time Zeus took the form of a great bull, hence the half-bull bit. The star constellation Taurus, which is also a birthsign, is in the shape of a bull.
Hence, the name "myrmitaur" - Ant/bull hybrids. They charge aggressively, they have two horn-like protrusions on their heads, and they hatch from eggs in a nest very much like ants. Horrifying to contemplate, but undoubtedly quite creative on the part of the developers of Outward.
Nice, please make this a series with all weapon types.
Would also love a run with the cerulean saber with the rainbow hex enchantment and rust lich armor.
Funny thing is... I have never done a run like that. Lol it is one of the most known builds and somehow I have never fully built it.
@@SheenShots My favorite build since its highly modular, you can use it with elementa shield, manticore dagger or pistols. and after using rupture you deal even more damage.
SUCH A FIRE VIDEO I LOVE THIS CAN YOU PLZ DO MORE
BOMBACLAT MORE OUTWARD
My first play-through of the game I used great axes. They're super simple. The short range, multi-hit heavy attack, and ability "Execution" seem like good game design that clearly indicates how this weapon class should be played; stick close and pummel your enemies. Honestly, I feel like the game could be completed with just the heavy attack and Execution. They're that good. Slap on some heavy armor and just tank-and-spank the game. I did.
That being said, I think there is a very low skill ceiling. The short range, slow attacks, and long-commitment to the heavy attack chains don't lend themselves to tactical combat. You really won't learn the technical aspects of the game and combat when it is so easy (and necassary because of the short, slow, clunky moveset) to brute force your way to victory.
I totally agree with your assessment here. When I first tried greataxes they just felt clunky. Ya the combos are awesome, but they also lock you into weird and more unpredictable movements. Especially early on in the game you can't rely on armor to fix this issue so I always switched to a different weapon. Actually giving the item time to grow with my build made leaps and bounds. If you can stun lock enemies during crushing combos the combat feels more fen than ever.
FireBomb Academy send his regards.
OMG OUTWARD VIDEO LETS GO. (And greataxes are the best)
They are far better than I originally thought. Actually crazy strong once you get into them.
I think for this type of build, whiplash is still better overall. Perfect strike already deals raw damage based on your weapons' current damage damage. Since the raw damage of the poltergeist enchant can't be increased by physical damage buffs, you essentially lose half of your damage bonus outright.
I was not 100% sure if either would be better than the other at first. Here's what I concluded after messing with them though:
Whiplash is generally a weak enchant since it grants very little damage increase. However, it is quite strong on tsar items alone because
they get a much higher base damage multiplied. So for a standard build where you go all out on physical damage, say maybe zagis armor and all that, Whiplash is best. Or Kasite armor as well gets nice physical buffs.
Poltergeist is the biggest buff you can give most weapons since now super weak physical damage can just be converted into something
that always cuts through HP. For tsar the advantage is never worrying about enemy weaknesses specifically if you use wind infuse your damage never suffers. So ultimately it comes down to how you design your build which is great to see. I think because I wasn't focusing on physical alone my choice was the better option for this specific run. But then one single armor change and Whiplash is ganna be way better. Heck I think you can get over like 120 some physical in a single hit with whiplash, discipline, and zagis armor.
Aye new outward content!
@sheenshots you chose the exact same breakthrus that I did for my first full melee character so that makes me feel better. I just got the Dreamer Halberd and it’s great!
I don't like taking all three most runs because its a lot of focus on attack skills. But as long as you keep alpha sandwiches at the ready they
are readily available for every encounter. Dreamer is a beast. I still think one of if not the best weapon in the game.
Another great video, I love these videos.
One question, do you know Enshrouded? They say it's good. I haven't tried it yet, but what I've been able to see is similar to Outward. Maybe you'll like it.
I have heard of enshrouded and looked into it. As far as I know it is still in beta. But I will definitely check it out when it fully releases at least.
I JUST got over my outward addiction!... One quick run through cant hurt right?
20 minute adventure... in and out. Then a whole month goes by lol
You should do a challenge run as the playable Trog
