All good bro. We will still enjoy it regardless. I been waiting for this to drop on UA-cam for like 2-3 weeks or whatever now since you completed it. There's no real rush to release this since it's doesn't need to be timed with any genshin content updates or anything. Just wanna say this is one of your best videos/ideas/challengers ever for genshin. It's just great content. Both live stream or as a recap video. Just a great idea and great entertainment! I hope you get a million views from this by the end since you deserve it. I also have no idea why your sub count is so low relative to most other genshin creators when you have a great funny, chill and likable personality and most of the others are very monotone with their speaking and/or have a boring personality, or are just not very likable or can even be consider as annoying at worst. Yet they still have hundreds of thousands of subs. Did you start the channel later than all the others? If not then I'm guessing it's because you just don't drop enough videos as often as they do or drop them fast enough like the others, or on a regular schedule. Speed/timing matters a lot for genshin I guess, like videos on same or next day that matches game updates. Mihiyo themselves do this shit with the regular endless content, even if it's not groundbreaking unique event. Just dropping new content alone means people will stay interested and keep coming back due to habit lol. But yeah, you make pretty good quality videos that are entertaining, so keep doing you, ni need to drop the quality level of videos in order to just pad the numbers and be a regular uploader. I think you will get there even if slow and steady, or maybe you will have a viral vid(like this one?) and you'll get lucky just like you did in this challenge with the gacha luck coming in late for your character pulls. Your kuki will come soon. Probably.. hopefully.. But even if it doesn't, you will no doubt still be able to 36 star the abyss in your own way with your own unique custom strategy. haha I hope you can do more challenges and videos like this! It's great content!
There are no bad hydro units. Even the least useful ones are still way better than not having hydro at all. Barbara is probably the second 'worst' hydro unit (Candace is worse than Barbara by a bit) but she still can do the primary job, apply consistent hydro.
@@Barbara_main Barbara is actually a really good driver in a Nilou Bloom team. Sac.Fragments (refinements don't matter), HP-stacking Flower set, watch everything touch grass and explode. The best part is that it's still super effective even if you're F2P as the only character you'll need to go out of your way for is Nilou (maximizing her Bloom damage contribution is another story). A team of Barbara, Collei, DMC, and Nilou is perfectly fine if you want to teach all of Teyvat the gospel of natural flora. :)
Just wanna say this was my favorite genshin video I ever watched. As someone who's been playing since launch, this abyss was a nightmare, and to do what you did in 3 weeks is ABSOLUTELY INSANE. Massive respect, total madlad.

Hi Eakes, I just rewatched this vid today for the 2nd time after also following you on Twitch during the challenge (CassiopeaOverlord is my handle), and I have to say that it is such a pleasure!! This is super entertaining and there is also so much to learn from for newer players! But the best of the best! Is reliving the fabulous journey we went through. Man, what a rollercoaster ride! Thanks as always for the joy and laughter you bring us!! The edits on this vid is priceless. hats off to you both
Eakes, that missing star doesn't change the friends we made or the lessons we learned along the way. Like the fishing mechanics. Much love! I am happy to have been there for the journey!
Even if 36 wasn't achieve, the sheer fact you were able to beat 12 abyss in the most obnoxious enemy line up is a win in my books. Especially in such a limited time. And overall just highlighted the values of 4 star units unexpectedly. ❤
What an amazing video. Well edited, amazingly narrated. You really took me on a journey there. I felt emotional at the end. It was like watching a movie. Good work. Looking forward to your next challenge.
Wow, that was fun to watch. I actually got into this vid thinking that you had actually made 36, but I am nowhere near dissapointed. It was a very good run. Would love to see you planning ahead with a very good banner and trying it again.
I've been playing for 7 months. I got a C2 Raiden on PJWS. I got Nahida. I got Tighnari on Skyward Harp. I got Bennett, Chevreuse, Xingque, C6 Sara, Fischl, Sucrose. I had 6 months of Welkin. And I played for 400 hours. I still haven't even cleared floor 12, let alone 36-starred it. The best I've gotten has been 29 stars. What you did Eakes was super impressive, and I'm glad I followed you during this challenge. Was eagerly waiting for this video. Hats off.
7 months isn't that long in the grand scheme of the game, so 29 stars isn't bad at all for most players. The past several Abyss's have been really annoying, so if we get an easier one, I bet you could 36-star it Easy. Make sure to use Raiden with C6 Sara, Bennett, and Chevreuse if you can. That's a very solid overload team. Chevreuse becomes better than Kazuha in that team. She is also extremely easy to build. ALL HP. But only that type of team. Plus C2 on Raiden is incredible.
@SkuldsArchives yeah that's my first and main team, and I get good clears with them (though they don't work on those electro spectres on the current chamber 2 of floor 12). It's my second team that struggles. Tighnari, Nahida, and Fischl seem to make a strong core, but Fischl's electro application isn't enough, and that team has no sustain, it just lacks a proper 4th member. Right now it's Sucrose on prototype Amber, but she can't swirl anything. I've theorycrafted to add in Thoma to double as a shield bot and give Nahida Pyro burst bonus, but I'm still working on building him, and I've never seen anyone actually use this as a comp. Ideally I could have used Yae which I really regret not pulling on to use instead of Fischl, or add in a Zhongli or Kuki for sustain. The entire second team will probably be benched for Arlecchino.
@@cshahbazi1220 If you have Kuki, she's arguably the best electro character for Hyperbloom teams. Her alongside Raiden. Kuki is extremely valuable. I'd go with Tighnari, Nahida, Xingqiu/Barbara (if you don't have Xingqiu, or Yelan if you have her.. idk what Hydro characters you have, even Mona could work though), and then Kuki.
@@cshahbazi1220 try switching sara for xiangling for more mixed damage fischl in second team cant really abuse her A4 passive since spread is not an electro reaction. most of fischl's dmg comes from abusing her A4 you could try a 'salad' team of sucrose, xingqiu, nahida, fischl. using sucrose as a driver and swirling electro means 3 things. 1. you trigger hyperblooms 2. VV triggers to shred electro (and hydro) 3 fischl's A4 triggers . you can put prototype amber on nahida and have sucrose run an EM book
The whole 21 day marathon was so entertaining. Get to work? Eakes is streaming. Drive home? Stream is still on. Going to bed? Just tune in to see Chevy come home. Thanks for all your efforts in making top tier Genshin entertainment!
This is extremely well done Eakes. I am glad there is finally a video that shows the sheer amount of planning, grinding and luck that goes into clearing the Abyss at lower AR.
I've genuinely never been more invested in a youtube video from start to finish. While you may have come up short by the rules of the challenge, this video is a monumental accomplishment in and of itself. It's an incredibly well-told story of tension, despair, celebration, and determination. Absolutely amazing. You should be proud of this one.
This challenge was still a spectacle to watch even though I had my doubts going in,I knew it was definitely impossible to fully build 2 cracked teams to 36star the abyss in 3weeks there’s not just enough resin to get satisfactory builds unless you’re the RNG god when rolling artifacts but this is still an amazing try considering all the restrictions you put on yourself
i mean if he picked a better time with a weaker abyss and better banners (raiden with hydros) it would be rly easy to just make two hyperbloom teams and 36*
It's not, but it is extremely hard, and even more extremely difficult with the additional restrictions he gave himself. The record is like 4 days and something hours - but that uses account rerolls and multiple people sharing the account in shifts so that you're still making progress even while you're sleeping, it's not one streamer trying to do it. Plus, the account rerolls giving you a headstart on good characters also doubles to increase available resin per day since you can use all your primos on max refreshing instead of wishing.
@@KeroseneZanchu whoops i meant easy in the context of this run not in general, to get the primos and max out on xp rushing to ar 45 then 55 is extremely hard even for a streamer who can do it full time
absolutely insane challenge, most people haven't 36* abyss after 3 months, even being able to Clear floor 12 is huge, and on top of it all he got extremely unlucky with the gacha on one of the worst banners and most annoying abyss bosses. A very entertaining video, truly one of the moments in genshin history.
Ngl I almost teared up near the end. I did not think I was going to get this invested in your video. I was definitely was a mix of nostalgia and the sheer determination till the very end. The amazing editing in the vid was incredible as well and tbe music choice was on point!
This video was amazing. One of the best genshin videos I have ever seen in general. What a journey. Getting this farwith such a hard abyss is crazy impressive
Given the constraints (and the terrible 4 stars on the limited banner) this was a very impressive run, well played Eakes, it was a blast to keep up with your progress. I can't help but wonder why you didn't swap Yae and Fischl though, Yae absolutely slaps the serpents! Not sure if it would have made enough of a difference to shore up the missing time, but would have been worth a shot imo. Either way congrats man, this was a cool challenge.
he really shot himself on the foot with that overload team, fischl yae beidou chev wouldve been much better, and doing xq dmc kuki with collei on fav like he said couldve solved the er issues, not trying to hate but there were some missteps along the way, main one being using diluc
@@fzhs7030 That overload team doesn't work at all. Triple electro means you're never going to keep the Chevy buff up. Even though Diluc isn't the greatest you need a consistent pyro source for that team to work.
this was such a ride, i rarely watch long videos but i enjoyed every moment of this one. one of the best genshin challenges ever done. cheers mate, u earned a new fan.
I am simply AMAZED at the amount of work you put in and the results that came out of it. I honestly didn't believe at all that something like this was even possible when I clicked on the video. I'm a relatively recent subscriber but I think you now have yourself a long time fan. Huge respect!! This was such a fun and exhilarating watch!
And here people say xingqui is so OP and like yeah he is when you invest in him well. Never seen Barbara being the clutch pick over him in the end but very entertaining to watch
Eakes at 21 days: completes 12-3, reaches 31 stars, and AR50. $0 spent. Me (a 235 days player, with 33 stars) : took 225 days to reach 30 stars, and still at AR45. Plays many many hours a day, even during class when there is break or lunch time. $~600 spent.
@@mrfresh-w8g surprisingly, hyperbloom was NOT the way for me. Because of my playing situation, hyperbloom actually is too fast for me, even though I’m a 19 year old player with long and flexible fingers. The consistency is too much for me to hold on for long. I don’t have enough stamina and and hyperbloom proc on the wrong enemy too often.
@@nich-nk2cr have u thought maybe u not playing hyperbloom is proly y ur stuck on 33 stars lol. but wait r u still ar 45 coz yea no 90ing the chars is rly important for the hyperbloom trigger
I am a genshin player and a doctor of optometry student at the same time. I just wanted to appreciate how clean your glasses are, and your coating is perfect for your screen time! 💙💜
man literally earlier TODAY i was thinking to myself "huh i wonder how that challenge went, i guess he failed since no video" and here you are a couple hours later prooving me wrong (or maybe not i havent finished the video yet lol)
This is ABSURDLY IMPRESSIVE i cant imagine that time and effort and most importantly that mentality any guy has to spent to have been through all of that 😂 huge respect to you and thank you so much to pull this off. Apart from entertaining its real knowledgable too
Dude, this was incredible. Amazing editing, incredible determination and planning for you - this was such a joy to watch. I know it must feel disappointing that you were't able to 36 star, but 31 stars in THREE WEEKS is an absolutely insanely impressive achievement that no one should take lightly!! Especially with the restrictions you included like you said. Kudos to you man, GOAT 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Really impressive feat getting 31 stars in 3 weeks. That took me nearly 6 months when I started, granted that was before dendro. Additionally, the pain of having to deal with the ruin serpent and wenut chambers hundreds of times like that would have shaved 10 years off my life. If you kept going you'd have those 36* really soon I believe. Feeding the Amos Bow into a TTDS nearly made me sick to my stomach. I went my whole first year of playing dreaming of replacing my proto crescent with Amos for my Ganyu lol. I have it today but still lol. Again thanks for sharing your experience with this challenge, you're the GOAT!
mad respect for you man, that was nothing less than pure dedication. i subscribed, and will be looking forward for you to keep going and achieving greater milestones and concurring more of such impossible challenges 😃
I've been subscribed to you for a while, then I stopped watching your content because life has happened and I stopped playing Genshin as well, but to come back and see you at 70k subscribers makes me so happy! I'm so glad you've grown so much. I have yet to finish watching but I enjoy your content, keep it up :)
SO many memories from these three weeks! From the announcement, to the race to AR 45, the crazy insanity of your internet being down, to the Barbara gambit? And more than that, the fact that you chose to do it on some VERY unfriendly banners. Literally unforgettable! I just wish I could've been there more, your Twitch was popping off SO MUCH. Truly you put your best foot forwards and we ALL had one hell of a ride for it. Good show, ol' chap.
at 6:45, i wouldn't say cocky, stupid, or just a challenge. I would ssay it's the best way to display that if ur dedicated, and wanna invest into getting to know genshin, u truly can progress incredibly fast. As someone who often tends to possibly over dedicate, this shit is cool af ggs
Man, that’s a rough and completely different challenge that I was expecting! This video was so entertaining, I didn’t feel the time; you made this really interesting. The dedication is awesome, holy. You deserve a lot of views and subscribers, tbh, it was soooooo amazing seeing you through this and also so painful to imagine the time. Omg, my respect.
Incredible video, I respect the dedication. I've felt similar pains in committing to a challenge account of my own (which shall not be named). Also yes, please give skip button Hoyo I will even pay for it!
I’ve never watched nor do I play Genshin, However watching this whole video was an amazing story and I just have to say I loved the effort and dedication as well as your personality. You’ve earned a sub!
the 3 weeks fried bros brain so bad he swapped xinqui for barbra and fed an amos bow to a fkin thrilling tales this guy needs to get some mental checkups
I honestly am glad he didn’t make it. As much as I wished for him to succeed I think it would crush me to know that someone 36 star the abyss in 3 weeks when I can’t do it consistently after 2 years
New viewer here... The amount of dedication that you put into this challenge and the information and effort put into your video (explaining thought and strats etc.) was super impressive. Good job man instant subscribe
Alr I can't believe how truly amazed I am the efforts the knowledge about the game s so good n u can clearly see it in ar50! I've been playing for a year never did it seriously but i gets hard for me after floor 10! And I can't imagine the dedication that went into this whole thing! This man deserve so much more attention n popularity! I learned alot about the game n how things work in this one single video thn I've in the whole time playing the game! It's totally worth the time i thought it's too long to watch but damn kept my interest and all of my attention till start to finish! It's my first video of urs and i was literally subscribed like 15min into the video cuz I knew it'd be a banger! N it really was!!! Keep growing man! ❤️❤️❤️
Welp, i commented 4 months ago when the video was a couple weeks old i believe. 4 months later ive been playing for 2 weeks straight, ar 40. Ive worked out snd everything else but this man's guide help to make my builds and understanding of the game better. Thank you @ Eakes
This was a whole cinema. I enjoyed watching this man! This is motivating me to keep on playing my long-played no pull account! Still, this was really well done even I'm 3 months late. The complain at the end tho is so relatable 😂

The amount of mental strain this must have been. Bro's brain must be a steel vault.
Respect to you man
I've been playing for 7 months. I got a C2 Raiden on PJWS. I got Nahida. I got Tighnari on Skyward Harp. I got Bennett, Chevreuse, Xingque, C6 Sara, Fischl, Sucrose. I had 6 months of Welkin. And I played for 400 hours. I still haven't even cleared floor 12, let alone 36-starred it. The best I've gotten has been 29 stars.
What you did Eakes was super impressive, and I'm glad I followed you during this challenge. Was eagerly waiting for this video. Hats off.
7 months isn't that long in the grand scheme of the game, so 29 stars isn't bad at all for most players. The past several Abyss's have been really annoying, so if we get an easier one, I bet you could 36-star it Easy. Make sure to use Raiden with C6 Sara, Bennett, and Chevreuse if you can. That's a very solid overload team. Chevreuse becomes better than Kazuha in that team. She is also extremely easy to build. ALL HP. But only that type of team. Plus C2 on Raiden is incredible.
@SkuldsArchives yeah that's my first and main team, and I get good clears with them (though they don't work on those electro spectres on the current chamber 2 of floor 12). It's my second team that struggles. Tighnari, Nahida, and Fischl seem to make a strong core, but Fischl's electro application isn't enough, and that team has no sustain, it just lacks a proper 4th member. Right now it's Sucrose on prototype Amber, but she can't swirl anything. I've theorycrafted to add in Thoma to double as a shield bot and give Nahida Pyro burst bonus, but I'm still working on building him, and I've never seen anyone actually use this as a comp. Ideally I could have used Yae which I really regret not pulling on to use instead of Fischl, or add in a Zhongli or Kuki for sustain.
The entire second team will probably be benched for Arlecchino.
@@cshahbazi1220 If you have Kuki, she's arguably the best electro character for Hyperbloom teams. Her alongside Raiden. Kuki is extremely valuable. I'd go with Tighnari, Nahida, Xingqiu/Barbara (if you don't have Xingqiu, or Yelan if you have her.. idk what Hydro characters you have, even Mona could work though), and then Kuki.
@@cshahbazi1220 try switching sara for xiangling for more mixed damage
fischl in second team cant really abuse her A4 passive since spread is not an electro reaction. most of fischl's dmg comes from abusing her A4
you could try a 'salad' team of sucrose, xingqiu, nahida, fischl. using sucrose as a driver and swirling electro means 3 things. 1. you trigger hyperblooms 2. VV triggers to shred electro (and hydro) 3 fischl's A4 triggers . you can put prototype amber on nahida and have sucrose run an EM book
I have played for over 1.5k hours but never really cared enough to try to 36 star the abyss
The whole 21 day marathon was so entertaining. Get to work? Eakes is streaming. Drive home? Stream is still on. Going to bed? Just tune in to see Chevy come home. Thanks for all your efforts in making top tier Genshin entertainment!
man the production in this video is insane!!! cant believe you only have 75k subs man 😮 you definitely deserve more!
This is extremely well done Eakes. I am glad there is finally a video that shows the sheer amount of planning, grinding and luck that goes into clearing the Abyss at lower AR.
I've genuinely never been more invested in a youtube video from start to finish. While you may have come up short by the rules of the challenge, this video is a monumental accomplishment in and of itself. It's an incredibly well-told story of tension, despair, celebration, and determination. Absolutely amazing. You should be proud of this one.
This challenge was still a spectacle to watch even though I had my doubts going in,I knew it was definitely impossible to fully build 2 cracked teams to 36star the abyss in 3weeks there’s not just enough resin to get satisfactory builds unless you’re the RNG god when rolling artifacts but this is still an amazing try considering all the restrictions you put on yourself
i mean if he picked a better time with a weaker abyss and better banners (raiden with hydros) it would be rly easy to just make two hyperbloom teams and 36*
It's not, but it is extremely hard, and even more extremely difficult with the additional restrictions he gave himself. The record is like 4 days and something hours - but that uses account rerolls and multiple people sharing the account in shifts so that you're still making progress even while you're sleeping, it's not one streamer trying to do it. Plus, the account rerolls giving you a headstart on good characters also doubles to increase available resin per day since you can use all your primos on max refreshing instead of wishing.
@@KeroseneZanchu whoops i meant easy in the context of this run not in general, to get the primos and max out on xp rushing to ar 45 then 55 is extremely hard even for a streamer who can do it full time
Insane challenge, I only did this for one week I couldnt imagine how taxing it was doing it for 3 WHILE being live. Nice work 🔥
Yooo Deelo!
Tingiling iling iling
Dude after all that dedication I cannot leave without subscribing. Keep it up with these challenges, I feel lucky youtube recommended me this video.
This is the best genshin video I've seen all year, i really became invested in this run halfway.
Thanks for a good time.
THIS IS AMAZING BEST GENSHIN VIDEO OF THEE YEAR, you're such an inspiration
omg the barbara fnaf jumpscare scene was absolutely goated
absolutely insane challenge, most people haven't 36* abyss after 3 months, even being able to Clear floor 12 is huge, and on top of it all he got extremely unlucky with the gacha on one of the worst banners and most annoying abyss bosses.
A very entertaining video, truly one of the moments in genshin history.
The amount of sweat, tears, and dedication this took is crazy. A lot of work went into this and you deserve all the views.
Ngl I almost teared up near the end. I did not think I was going to get this invested in your video. I was definitely was a mix of nostalgia and the sheer determination till the very end. The amazing editing in the vid was incredible as well and tbe music choice was on point!
This video was amazing. One of the best genshin videos I have ever seen in general. What a journey. Getting this farwith such a hard abyss is crazy impressive
Should put FTP in the title for impact 😂
For the *GENSHIN IMPACT*
Given the constraints (and the terrible 4 stars on the limited banner) this was a very impressive run, well played Eakes, it was a blast to keep up with your progress.
I can't help but wonder why you didn't swap Yae and Fischl though, Yae absolutely slaps the serpents! Not sure if it would have made enough of a difference to shore up the missing time, but would have been worth a shot imo. Either way congrats man, this was a cool challenge.
fischl was needed on second half bc of the aeon drakes (you have to be able to shoot it down with a bow)
he really shot himself on the foot with that overload team, fischl yae beidou chev wouldve been much better, and doing xq dmc kuki with collei on fav like he said couldve solved the er issues, not trying to hate but there were some missteps along the way, main one being using diluc
@@regrat5891 No, you can down the drake with Yae turrets. Right at the start if you place one on each side it drops it instantly.
@@fzhs7030 That overload team doesn't work at all. Triple electro means you're never going to keep the Chevy buff up. Even though Diluc isn't the greatest you need a consistent pyro source for that team to work.
this was such a ride, i rarely watch long videos but i enjoyed every moment of this one. one of the best genshin challenges ever done. cheers mate, u earned a new fan.
I love how warm and cozy and homey your office is! It’s such a lovely switch up from the generic LED bright neons 😊
I am simply AMAZED at the amount of work you put in and the results that came out of it. I honestly didn't believe at all that something like this was even possible when I clicked on the video. I'm a relatively recent subscriber but I think you now have yourself a long time fan. Huge respect!! This was such a fun and exhilarating watch!
And here people say xingqui is so OP and like yeah he is when you invest in him well. Never seen Barbara being the clutch pick over him in the end but very entertaining to watch
Eakes at 21 days: completes 12-3, reaches 31 stars, and AR50. $0 spent.
Me (a 235 days player, with 33 stars) : took 225 days to reach 30 stars, and still at AR45. Plays many many hours a day, even during class when there is break or lunch time. $~600 spent.
I probably have over 1000 hours invested into this game.
hyperbloom moment of all time
Yeah it's real easy to just spin your wheels in the game since there are such limited in-game resources
@@mrfresh-w8g surprisingly, hyperbloom was NOT the way for me. Because of my playing situation, hyperbloom actually is too fast for me, even though I’m a 19 year old player with long and flexible fingers. The consistency is too much for me to hold on for long. I don’t have enough stamina and and hyperbloom proc on the wrong enemy too often.
@@nich-nk2cr have u thought maybe u not playing hyperbloom is proly y ur stuck on 33 stars lol. but wait r u still ar 45 coz yea no 90ing the chars is rly important for the hyperbloom trigger
I am a genshin player and a doctor of optometry student at the same time. I just wanted to appreciate how clean your glasses are, and your coating is perfect for your screen time! 💙💜
Best Genshin video i ever watched...really, it was AMAZING and the thought process and planning, omg! May your channel and content grow more!
The fact that you tried to do it and made it that far is a win in itself, that abyss rotation is hell as well. Still a win IMO, great video overall.👍
man literally earlier TODAY i was thinking to myself "huh i wonder how that challenge went, i guess he failed since no video" and here you are a couple hours later prooving me wrong (or maybe not i havent finished the video yet lol)
This is ABSURDLY IMPRESSIVE i cant imagine that time and effort and most importantly that mentality any guy has to spent to have been through all of that 😂 huge respect to you and thank you so much to pull this off. Apart from entertaining its real knowledgable too
your dedication is unREAL, SUCH big props to you!!! this is still so crazy impressive
This is the mintpicking that I enjoy watching, can't wait for your next challenges!!!
Eakes, it took me almost two years to get my first 36 stars, you should be proud of yourself!
Dude, this was incredible. Amazing editing, incredible determination and planning for you - this was such a joy to watch. I know it must feel disappointing that you were't able to 36 star, but 31 stars in THREE WEEKS is an absolutely insanely impressive achievement that no one should take lightly!! Especially with the restrictions you included like you said. Kudos to you man, GOAT 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Never seen you or your content before this video, but man was this fun. I ended up watching the entire thing!! Super cool video!
This was an emotional watch!! Subbed :0
Best genshin challenge video I ever watched so far! I had such a fun time following this journey. Truly an instant classic in the community 🎉
This was such an insane challenge to watch live! That you made it so far is really impressive
Really impressive feat getting 31 stars in 3 weeks. That took me nearly 6 months when I started, granted that was before dendro. Additionally, the pain of having to deal with the ruin serpent and wenut chambers hundreds of times like that would have shaved 10 years off my life. If you kept going you'd have those 36* really soon I believe. Feeding the Amos Bow into a TTDS nearly made me sick to my stomach. I went my whole first year of playing dreaming of replacing my proto crescent with Amos for my Ganyu lol. I have it today but still lol. Again thanks for sharing your experience with this challenge, you're the GOAT!
I have never seen Diluc Overload, it was very interesting to watch, keep going!
mad respect for you man, that was nothing less than pure dedication. i subscribed, and will be looking forward for you to keep going and achieving greater milestones and concurring more of such impossible challenges 😃
I saw the livestream announcement a while back, & knew this was going to be a banger of a youtube video. Mad props homie!
Omg the patience... I would've gone crazy while restarting the floor again and again tbh- anyway good job! You did your best!!💙💙💙
This is wild 😂 actually sick video
I just found your channel dud, high quality stuff. Have a new sub
I've been subscribed to you for a while, then I stopped watching your content because life has happened and I stopped playing Genshin as well, but to come back and see you at 70k subscribers makes me so happy! I'm so glad you've grown so much. I have yet to finish watching but I enjoy your content, keep it up :)
This is gonna be saved on my favorites. Huge respect to you man. That mindset is an inspiration.
SO many memories from these three weeks! From the announcement, to the race to AR 45, the crazy insanity of your internet being down, to the Barbara gambit? And more than that, the fact that you chose to do it on some VERY unfriendly banners. Literally unforgettable! I just wish I could've been there more, your Twitch was popping off SO MUCH. Truly you put your best foot forwards and we ALL had one hell of a ride for it. Good show, ol' chap.
Me, 2 years playing and only 36 twice: nice challenge ✨
at 6:45, i wouldn't say cocky, stupid, or just a challenge. I would ssay it's the best way to display that if ur dedicated, and wanna invest into getting to know genshin, u truly can progress incredibly fast. As someone who often tends to possibly over dedicate, this shit is cool af ggs
Such a good editing and video. I can't even focus on things too much but I watched this without pause
Man, that’s a rough and completely different challenge that I was expecting! This video was so entertaining, I didn’t feel the time; you made this really interesting. The dedication is awesome, holy. You deserve a lot of views and subscribers, tbh, it was soooooo amazing seeing you through this and also so painful to imagine the time. Omg, my respect.
Incredible video, I respect the dedication. I've felt similar pains in committing to a challenge account of my own (which shall not be named). Also yes, please give skip button Hoyo I will even pay for it!
For the amount of effort and time he put into this video I don’t understand how he only has 50000 subs
Waiting for the premier literally had me tweaking for the past 6 hours lmaooo
I’ve never watched nor do I play Genshin, However watching this whole video was an amazing story and I just have to say I loved the effort and dedication as well as your personality. You’ve earned a sub!
legit one of the best creators so underrated
The Greatest Genshin Vid This Year.
the 3 weeks fried bros brain so bad he swapped xinqui for barbra and fed an amos bow to a fkin thrilling tales this guy needs to get some mental checkups
I honestly am glad he didn’t make it. As much as I wished for him to succeed I think it would crush me to know that someone 36 star the abyss in 3 weeks when I can’t do it consistently after 2 years
Great stuff, I was hooked for the whole duration of the video
what an exciting journey:). Played the game since the beginning and never seen a video that captivated me more. I enjoyed it, thx!
“Luck has been rough to me” -gets average luck
How did you beat Genshin in 3 weeks when it takes at least that long just to click through all the dialogue?
why would you do this to yourself lmao good video tho
Because of you, i feel inspired. You rekindled my motivation to keep playing Genshin Impact.
A whole hour worth of edit. This man's dedication is unmatched.
Spoiler Blocker 🚫
bro u really did a great video, you're awsome. thanks for making this video, i really appreciate your dedication to beat genshin in 3 weeks
Genuinely a great video, well edited, great pacing, and thoroughly entertaining. I appreciate the effort that went into this
this was incredible, idk how you survived this mentally but damn this was entertaining as hell to watch! a true cinematic masterpiece!
New viewer here...
The amount of dedication that you put into this challenge and the information and effort put into your video (explaining thought and strats etc.) was super impressive.
Good job man
instant subscribe
It was great to watch, very impressive and honestly, I think you just cured my Genshin burnout that's been going on for the past year or two.
Alr I can't believe how truly amazed I am the efforts the knowledge about the game s so good n u can clearly see it in ar50! I've been playing for a year never did it seriously but i gets hard for me after floor 10! And I can't imagine the dedication that went into this whole thing! This man deserve so much more attention n popularity! I learned alot about the game n how things work in this one single video thn I've in the whole time playing the game! It's totally worth the time i thought it's too long to watch but damn kept my interest and all of my attention till start to finish!
It's my first video of urs and i was literally subscribed like 15min into the video cuz I knew it'd be a banger! N it really was!!!
Keep growing man! ❤️❤️❤️
Welp, i commented 4 months ago when the video was a couple weeks old i believe. 4 months later ive been playing for 2 weeks straight, ar 40. Ive worked out snd everything else but this man's guide help to make my builds and understanding of the game better. Thank you @ Eakes
This was a whole cinema. I enjoyed watching this man! This is motivating me to keep on playing my long-played no pull account! Still, this was really well done even I'm 3 months late. The complain at the end tho is so relatable 😂
This is actually the best Genshin impact videos I’ve ever seen. I came back to this multiple times. Eakes, you just earned a lifetime sub.
