X, a bit of a tip, if you lead an enemy to a door, then walk behind it and wait for them to walk through, you have a 100% chance to hit them. (this only works if the door is closed) It's a very effective way of taking out wraiths. Good luck!
I'm not really sure if it matters now, since I don't know when this was recorded, but at 29:00 you can see that the "bounce" effect was removed by upgrading the armor with those scrolls. I guess it would still be useful to know for an future upgrading you do since you could risk losing a "good" enchant.
This is a real gem of a game. I installed it on my Nexus 4 while I was still watching the video. It's amazing that it's a free game without microtransactions or ads. I will spend a lot of time playing it, I'm sure of it.
I seriously love you, David. You have no idea how long I've waited for someone to play this on video. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
If you can, try dipping things you don't care about into unidentified potions, e.g., cloth armor. If it's a negative potion, you lose the item, but retain your health and identify the potion.
***** Other general tips, good for many roguelikes, include: -know what every potion and scroll does, and (if possible) how to test for each type. -know what each god (if any) wants and hates. Try to stay on the good side of about half of them. One might identify your stuff! -always identify rings/necklaces before you wear them. Nobody wants to find that they've been wearing a ring of polymorph...or a cursed necklace of strangulation. -for this game, remember that every floor with a boarded up door has a potion of Flame, every piranha room has a pot of invisibility, and every trap room, a pot of levitation. Health pots seem to be the most common, with strength coming second at about 1 per floor. Using that knowledge, sometimes, you can figure out what something is without drinking/throwing/reading/wearing it.
Filip Kreft polymorph, in games which have it changes you into a random monster, complete with the random monster's level. This can be extremely beneficial, or result in your death, if you, say, turn into a mouse. There's generally a method of controlling/preventing it.
You always get so lucky in these types of games X, at least when you are recording. After this video I played about 20 runs over the course of the day, and only beat the first boss twice, but never made it to the sixth floor
Ways to handle wraiths: magical wands, and walking through doors. Apparently there is a mechanic where you can't miss if you catch a monster off guard, or if they have just come through a door. :)
I still wish this series went on a lot longer. Now that Shattered Pixel Dungeon is out, and it's so much better than the original, it would make for a great series, or maybe some daily runs. Something like that.
Agreed on the series, but the original PD is by far the best...Shattered doesn't have weapon degrade and thus it's too easy. One has to really strategize to beat the original.
It looks and plays a lot like POWDER (amywangwang for those who didn't remember the name of the game :P). I'm surprised you didn't mention the similarity! I'm glad though, as your POWDER play through was none other than legendary :). Hope to see more of it!
It was a little painful watching this at some points, but awesome video overall, found this game a looooong time ago and finally someone is making videos on it!
I just watched the POWDER episode with Amywangwang last night.. Of course they sshould look similar, it's a roguelike; they all follow generally the same elements.
X, I noticed that you didn't check but I thought I'd let you know. When you get the gold key and get to the two chests, you should examine both chests before hand. It'll tell you if there's a wand or a ring inside. I mean, they could both be rings or wands so it might not matter, but if they aren't the same you can pick the ring or wand instead.
I don't know why... but this game looks like the game I'm currently playing. It is Crusader's Quest.These two games looked so similar especially in the game play. But this game, the Crusader's Quest is really amazing. I like the rest of the game except the graphics. It runs through a 8-bit mode graphics...Looks like the game super mario during 90's but i like the game play and the story frame. Currently, I'm in Level One of the game and I have one priest, one wizard and archer. This game is so cool!
I am having such a hard time with the aspect ratio. The game won't sync with my screen everything is down and to the right. Amazing game though own both versions.
I love retro games, and this pixeled games looks so promising, reminds me of crusaders quest, a game where i'm currently into :) however crusaders quest is a real time Action RPG and matching game features a fast paced puzzle combat. . It’s quite fun game, less stressing because of its plot detailed instruction that can easily be understand by players. A game based on acquiring heroes along the way, while making through various missions.
I've always seen it as Pastie, which I just learned is actually the American spelling for the British Pasty. I like the spelling as Pastie, since it makes it easier to tell apart, even if it is technically wrong because I don't live in America. But that's not ideal either, because then you can mistake it for the Northern Irish Pastie. And then, of course, there are the nipple adhesives. And making that linguistic error is no laughing matter if you accidentally stick some hot, freshly baked pasties onto your nipples instead of the adhesives. But maybe some people would enjoy that.
this game is awesome! love the retro style and gameplay are great! and i found one game that looks like this.. hmmm as far as i remembered it's Crusaders Quest :) because of their pixelated graphics haha
this game is harder than dark souls 2 deprieved run, i love it and hate it intensely, and now i hate you because you got good armor, and i also love you because i learned stuff thanks :)
Recently downloaded Bluestacks to try this out, but I can't figure out the control for zooming in & out and X never mentioned it in this video, anyone happen to know?
it not a 50-50 chance of getting item. you can use the question mark to see what is inside the chest. one chest will have a wand and other chest will have a ring :D
I found that I became hungry even faster on the levels after this one and the effect of eating only lasted a very short while. Is that right or was my character possibly debuffed in some way??
Not sure if you still need the help, but you could have also just been eating every time your character became hungry. He always waited longer past that until his character was starving in order for him to eat
if you get the scroll of wipe out save it 4 a level with pixel Mart so you can kill the guy and get all his stuff 4 free I did this and was like all get some thing at pixel Mart and I just picked it up and then I got everything else
Yo, speaking of simple to learn and difficult to master, have any of you heard of or played Space a Station 13? It's like a bat shit insane, anything can happen at any time, ultra paranoid game of Clue set in a space station, where your ass isn't always guaranteed to still be attached by the end of the round. I think X's analytical brain would mesh well with it. Check our "PlumpHelmetPunk" or "Yobihodazine"'s channels for more. Here's the best round yet IMO from Yobihodazine: /watch?v=5MiRt43gVU0
3 years later and I'm watching this for some help! Thanks for having the best and only quality video teaching this difficult game
thatdenverguy favourite pe teacher
That background is a great idea! Scrolling backgrounds with doorways. Evokes the infinite dungeon rooms.

I swear in every Rogue-like I play, whenever I quaff a potion it's always a potion of liquid fire. D:

this still remains as some of my favorite couple of videos u have made
My morning toilet breaks just got five times longer.
I found this game about a week ago and suddenly your making a lets play. AWESOME!
Wait... This was 43 minutes long... Felt like 20. Awesome game!
Awesome, X, it's always extremely fun watching you play this kind of games.
Very entertaining to watch, i love how you explain everything while you go along. Waiting for next episode :D
This actually looks pretty darn awesome, looking forward to further episodes!
I miss POWDER. :/ Love the new vids, X! Keep it up!!
Shame you didn't do this blind like Powder, would've been hilarious to see, nonetheless this was really informative, which is sometimes just as good.
This is my favourite mobile game, so glad to see you doing a series on it.
Try playing at night! It's actually a little more difficult. I played this at 3 A.M.
You always get so lucky in these types of games X, at least when you are recording. After this video I played about 20 runs over the course of the day, and only beat the first boss twice, but never made it to the sixth floor
I love this game I am actually about to upload a lets play in 1080p HD
Ways to handle wraiths: magical wands, and walking through doors. Apparently there is a mechanic where you can't miss if you catch a monster off guard, or if they have just come through a door. :)
This reminds me of.... AMYWANGWANG! (It has been 2 years ago ;D )
Haha same!
i miss corvo
HotBoysPants Amywangwang is from Powder and the one in his Dishonored LP was a reference to his never used Powder sword.
I miss X, The Holy Shadow Knight of Necromantic Justice and Cerebral Bashing from POWDER. And the Lolhammer too.
newsuperyoshi ohh okay thx i wasnt around at that time then, good to learn something :-D though his Amywangwang in dishonered was pretty sweet too :-P
I was so suprised seeing this on pop up in my feed! :D
This is indeed an awesome game!
how many people's mind went straight to Powder?
Yet another person and yet another pixel dungeon (yet another pixel dungeon's a mod that adds powder back in
Only person I would watch playing an "ordinary" game
really helpful, I only ever made it to level 4, then i died of starvation lmao
I still wish this series went on a lot longer. Now that Shattered Pixel Dungeon is out, and it's so much better than the original, it would make for a great series, or maybe some daily runs. Something like that.

From barely being able to make it to the 5th floor to making it to the 12 floor and still going!!
I'm pretty impressed that a mobile game looks this fun!
I miss Powder :c
Me too my friend, I think it was the hardest I've laughed at one of X's series next to Dishonored.
torknick oh yeah! wasn't it his sword and the name he gave it hilarious!
No, he got Amy Wang-Wang after a wraith threw a potion of blindness in his face, he killed it and it was guarding Amy. If i remember correctly.
I also remember when he got a holy something of necromancy. That was awesome.
Yeah, that was cool.
I've been playing Powder on Android for years now. This seems like it could be a refreshing change!
It was a little painful watching this at some points, but awesome video overall, found this game a looooong time ago and finally someone is making videos on it!
I just watched the POWDER episode with Amywangwang last night.. Of course they sshould look similar, it's a roguelike; they all follow generally the same elements.
Reminiscent of Powder, with better graphics and less complex controls. I like it. Too bad we won't be seeing Amywangwang here. XD
This looks really fun, reminds me of the ancient game for Windows, Castle of the Winds. I wish it was available for iOS though.
X, I noticed that you didn't check but I thought I'd let you know. When you get the gold key and get to the two chests, you should examine both chests before hand.

Quite a helpful video. I haven't played in a while. I didn't even know about the rat king :D
Just started playing this but im not very good at it.
two days after you posted this video xD!
So helpful!
Awesome game X!!! Loving your play style, and you'll see me next time.
Hey X, if you're ever looking for more rogue-likes to play, have you ever tried Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup?
Hey X, just wanted to say this was a really good video
I am having such a hard time with the aspect ratio. The game won't sync with my screen everything is down and to the right. Amazing game though own both versions.

So, this is Powder 2.0. Awesome!
Love this playthrough!
x strength actually help do more damage. There are bonus damage if the hero strength surpass the require weapons strength.
I know I'm late but, by the way, if you examine the crystal chests you can see what's inside them.
if it's a cornish pasty then it's said pah-stee not pay-stee
pay-stee is someone who is very pale
Or something women use to cover their nipples.
I've always seen it as Pastie, which I just learned is actually the American spelling for the British Pasty. I like the spelling as Pastie, since it makes it easier to tell apart, even if it is technically wrong because I don't live in America.

Phil Barry LMAO!
So, this game is essentialy a more polished POWDER. But, at the same time, a lot more casual.
this game is awesome! love the retro style and gameplay are great! and i found one game that looks like this.. hmmm as far as i remembered it's Crusaders Quest :) because of their pixelated graphics haha
this game is harder than dark souls 2 deprieved run, i love it and hate it intensely, and now i hate you because you got good armor, and i also love you because i learned stuff
thanks :)
What a great intro video too!
This looks like a really fun game. I'll try it!
This reminded me amywangwang scene xDDD
Wait! Coestar returned?!
Why didn't I know about this?!
Amywangwang!
Omg I love this game to death! I play the phone version, it's a great game.
Nice game X! Please, do continue!
looks alot like 'powder'
awesome work keep it up
I really liked this, but I do miss your POWDER series, will it come back some time? :(
Ik, powder was amazing. But, now he has another cursed sword to be his sword, to replace Amywangwang.
Wish you'd play one of these roguelikes blind again, to make something similar to the POWDER experience
Unfortunately, winning a roguelike blind is very hard. Many people think that it's impossible with NetHack
I love watching these videos so much :O
I guessing someone's mentioned this, but if you examine the gold chests then you can see what item type of item is inside
oh shit...thanks for the tip
have you tried your pixel dungeon, its a pixel dungeon that also has a level editor
THANK YOU SOOO MUCK MAN
Yay! I play this game all the time ;)
Who doesn't like a good rouge-like?
this game looks a lot like adom. i loved that game. i think ill buy this one. thanks
This reminds me a little of Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja. I have a droid phone, gonna have to pick this up. :)
plz make a video of how you got this setup to play on the pc i really wanna play it but dont have an android
Thx for the tip X, just downloaded on my Android...i was needing a new game...this is perf for it...
Recently downloaded Bluestacks to try this out, but I can't figure out the control for zooming in & out and X never mentioned it in this video, anyone happen to know?
Maybe the middle mouse button?
It's alright, I got it.
It's Ctrl and MMB, but it can be done with other buttons.
it not a 50-50 chance of getting item. you can use the question mark to see what is inside the chest. one chest will have a wand and other chest will have a ring :D
This is what they call a real game
I have entered a level with a closed metallic door and a singn sayin me to get out of there cuz there is a powerful monster ahead. What do i do?
Hahaha I've been playing this game for ages glad you made a video :)
I like this game but it is so frustrating to die all the time. I'm not patient enough to survive.
WOOOOOOO!!! PIXEL DUNGEON!!!
:D YAY! NEW VIDEO!
If you examine one of the gold chest you can see what is inside
I've noticed X has started speaking exclusively Royally - using "we" instead of "I"
Thanks for the video X :)
Also there is a game similar to this called realm of the mad god which i think you could enjoy! Love ya X
Good video,thanks.
Great Video!
When you say pasty it should be "pah-stee" not "pay-stee"
Love you long time X!
you deserve my sub
So I guess Thief and Deus Ex won't be continued? Can't say I'm surprised...
What makes you say that?
RoyaltonDrummer922 There hasn't been a new video for a month now, and now he starts a new LP. Long-time subs know what that usually means.
I am a long time sub. He's said he's still working on those games. Just have some faith.
ohgod david. its been a while since i have seen one of your videos, your voice has changed a lot.. you are starting to sound like edward norton
I was hoping for X to go back to the statue
Reminds me of POWDER.
I found that I became hungry even faster on the levels after this one and the effect of eating only lasted a very short while. Is that right or was my character possibly debuffed in some way??
the glyph metabolism does that but you could be running around more
Thanks.

Not sure if you still need the help, but you could have also just been eating every time your character became hungry. He always waited longer past that until his character was starving in order for him to eat
Omg danielangel i had the same exact tactic with potions :D
Well, this is pretty cool. I'll have to try it out. :D
if you get the scroll of wipe out save it 4 a level with pixel Mart so you can kill the guy and get all his stuff 4 free I did this and was like all get some thing at pixel Mart and I just picked it up and then I got everything else
Hey X, there's a 'similar' game on steam called Sword Of the Stars: The Pit
You should check it out (:
Like always awesome video

Check our "PlumpHelmetPunk" or "Yobihodazine"'s channels for more. Here's the best round yet IMO from Yobihodazine: /watch?v=5MiRt43gVU0
Reminds me of Powder quite a bit... awesome play through by the way if anyone wants to go and check that out on X's channel, its fairly old xD
