00:00 Hello everybody!
00:07 For all of you out there in video land, like, comment, subscribe and click the little notification
00:12 bell.
00:13 It'll help me on my way to becoming a YouTube partner.
00:16 Alright, let's get started.
00:21 [Music]
00:40 [Music]
00:50 [Music]
01:00 [Music]
01:10 [Music]
01:20 [Music]
01:30 [Music]
01:40 [Music]
01:50 [Music]
02:00 Where are you going?
02:03 [Music]
02:13 Alright, alright, alright.
02:14 If I remember correctly, this guy joins your party.
02:16 If he doesn't, I'm pretty sure I get something good from him.
02:20 But, uh, I mean, it's been, god, ten years since I played.
02:24 Over ten years.
02:25 So, how are you today, sir?
02:27 These aren't, there aren't many with the courage to live out here, to live alone out here.
02:33 Not that I've seen.
02:34 God, that is the worst reading I've ever done.
02:37 [Laughter]
02:39 [Music]
02:41 And what do you see?
02:43 What can you see beyond light, beyond dust motes stirred in some corner near a window,
02:47 or some brief flash in the sky which frightens you to the bone?
02:51 While I see the echo of your thoughts and hear the scent of your fear.
02:55 Ah, you think me mad, but magic does that, doesn't it?
02:59 I am mad with magic.
03:03 So, he, great, great boy.
03:05 Alright, let's see.
03:09 Uh, number one.
03:11 My strange speaking friend, if you are a mage, what are you doing in this meager hut near the Ivalice?
03:18 Number two.
03:19 Perhaps you would think me more, think more clearly if you walked the trail a while.
03:24 Would you like to take the air by my side?
03:26 That's right, he does join, he can join.
03:28 Three.
03:29 Perhaps you should stay here and keep your weird ramblings to yourself.
03:32 [Laughter]
03:35 Oh, I'm gonna have to click that one.
03:37 But then I have to ask him to join my party.
03:39 [Music]
03:43 Where should I be?
03:45 Sitting beside some Burgermaster's fireplace in an overstuffed chair as though I were his property or his prize?
03:52 Or squandering my powers to maintain a household of my own?
03:55 No, I sit here, happy in the rich cathedral of my mind.
04:00 I observe the rule of excellence.
04:02 I'm ready for anything.
04:04 I am waiting for you.
04:07 Oh, he burned the elf!
04:11 This elf from Sithicus, that was a deep burn.
04:15 You got some ointment for that burn?
04:18 I don't.
04:20 [Music]
04:25 It hardly matters.
04:26 You will return when the wave you are riding reaches its peak.
04:30 Destiny will direct you.
04:31 Then without thought, with neither hesitation nor concern, you will return here and ask if I might walk the trail with you.
04:37 At that time I will answer in the affirmative, and we will be about the business of the most powerful magic I know.
04:43 Destiny.
04:45 Yeah, fuck Destiny. She's a bitch goddess.
04:49 Alright, now I'm gonna ask him to join and I'm gonna dump the--well, let's see here.
04:54 Who should I dump first?
04:56 By the way, if you right-click on the little arrow, it flips them all over.
05:01 Oh, god, I need a fucking thief.
05:08 She's a really good thief, though.
05:12 [Music]
05:19 I'm gonna see what his intelligence is.
05:21 If it's not above 16, then I'm gonna go and grab her again.
05:24 You know what? I'm gonna save, and then I'm gonna see what his intelligence is.
05:31 [Music]
05:43 Of course. You are, after all, not here to serve me, but to serve Destiny.
05:48 Wherever I go with you, it will be as it must, and I in turn will learn whatever it is you are here to teach me.
05:54 Oh, don't worry if you don't understand.
05:57 Even I, a great and powerful wizard, do not understand.
06:00 I only do what the day requires.
06:03 [Music]
06:10 Truly, this parting comes at a thirsty time.
06:13 I have every hope of making my way back to the tavern. What's it called? Blood of the wine, blood of the...
06:18 [Music]
06:28 Okay, so yeah, his intelligence is 17.
06:32 Caddack neutral, mage level 6, yeah, and...
06:35 [Music]
06:36 He's gonna get all of my spells, so let me gear him up, and...
06:42 I need Velenka as long as possible.
06:46 I may wind up keeping Velenka, even though I like the ninja. I don't think the ninja has 18 dexterity.
06:52 [Music]
07:21 [Music]
07:50 [Music]
08:19 [Music]
08:48 [Music]
09:17 [Music]
09:40 Alright, I'm gonna go ahead and eat. I'm also gonna pause the game, so you're gonna see a nice little jump cut here.
09:47 And one of the things that I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go through and I'm gonna identify all the items and equipment that I have.
09:53 Which is something that would take like about 5 to 10 minutes.
09:57 So, for those of you in the streaming channel...
10:01 Pardon me for the delay.
10:05 And I will be right back as soon as possible.
10:10 [Music]
10:16 Jump cut!
10:18 Alright, so everybody, let's...
10:22 I don't know, I'm gonna try the church grounds and see if I can open that, or the graveyard.
10:29 And then I'm going to... I think the key to the graveyard is in the church grounds.
10:37 I don't know if I can... God, I don't want to go through the friggin' church with just three party members.
10:46 That's a big problem. Well, let me see what's going on.
10:49 [Music]
11:10 [Music fades]
11:15 [Music]
11:28 [Music fades]
11:31 [Music]
11:39 [Music]
12:06 [Music]
12:13 Believe it or not, I needed to kill that guy.
12:18 [Music]
12:28 Oh good, and I'm not infected. I don't think they allowed infections in this game.
12:32 [Music]
12:35 For being a werewolf.
12:37 [Music]
13:00 [Music]
13:20 [Music fades]
13:25 [Music]
13:30 [Music]
13:39 [Music fades]
13:41 [Music]
13:49 [Music]
13:57 [Music]
14:00 [Music]
14:08 [Music]
14:12 [Music]
14:13 [Music]
14:16 [Music]
14:22 [Music]
14:25 [Music]
14:28 [Music]
14:34 [Music]
14:37 [Music]
14:46 [Music fades]
14:49 Oh wait, was that guy killed not the head werewolf?
14:52 Oh, crap, maybe he wasn't.
14:55 [Music]
15:12 You know what, I'm going to check and see what her dexterity is.
15:15 [Music]
15:18 [Music fades]
15:21 [Music]
15:24 So I'm going to invite her to group right now.
15:27 For safety's sake, I laugh at you.
15:30 Yet I am here because I have not found the path which will allow me within the caverns.
15:35 Should I trust you?
15:37 I have but one goal.
15:39 To leave this malodorous and filthy land.
15:43 Somewhere in those subterranean passages lies a portal.
15:47 Where it will take me I know not.
15:50 But if you help me reach it,
15:52 Yes, I will join you.
15:55 [Music]
16:04 Okay, now number one is we believe we can enter the caverns.
16:07 The question is can you guide us to the portal?
16:09 Number two is if you know of the portal,
16:11 is there any other information you should impart on us
16:13 before we place ourselves at risk deep beneath the eternal waters of the Iblis?
16:18 [Music]
16:21 It can be found.
16:23 How fortunate our encounter that by chance I have means to enter the place.
16:27 That chamber where the portal lies.
16:30 True, I am loath to join any party I do not lead.
16:33 But if you open the caverns to me, I will follow.
16:37 Though heed these words,
16:39 that without me, the portal shall remain inaccessible to you forever.
16:44 [Music]
16:48 Strange to say, but I've enjoyed our restless wandering time together.
16:52 Perhaps we'll meet again and continue the adventure.
16:55 But for today, enough will be enough.
16:58 Should you need me again, come to Barovia
17:00 and look for whatever place I've found to call my home.
17:03 [Music]
17:09 If I remember correctly, she just goes back to the tavern.
17:12 I may be wrong.
17:14 [Music]
17:21 Ermgarde!
17:23 Whether given grudgingly or not,
17:26 your assistance is welcome.
17:28 One thing appears true, that we shall not find our way through the portal and the caverns without you.
17:33 Alive and well at our sides.
17:36 Let's see what her, uh, dexterity is.
17:40 [Music]
17:47 Oh shit, that's right, she's not a thief.
17:50 Oh crap, she's just a regular cleric.
17:53 [Groans]
17:58 She's not even a good cleric.
18:06 [Music]
18:11 Crap.
18:13 That's right.
18:16 Um, well having said that,
18:21 I mean, I need to see if my character is screwed when she enters.
18:29 If so, I have to try and see if I can open up that church.
18:34 [Music]
18:39 [Music]
18:44 [Music]
18:49 [Music]
18:54 [Music]

19:14 [Music]
19:19 [Music]
19:24 [Music]
19:29 [Music]
19:34 [Music]
19:39 [Music]
19:44 [Music]
19:49 [Music]

20:04 [Music]
20:09 [Music]
20:14 [Music]
20:19 [Music]
20:24 [Music]
20:26 Alright, alright, alright. For those of you out there in video land,
20:31 uh, it looks like I'm going to do my character swapping here.
20:38 I did a little bit of investigation and it turns out that I'm just screwed.
20:45 Uh, I did this once before and I, I mean,
20:51 just getting possessed in the first ten minutes of me playing,
20:55 I shouldn't have done that. But I'm playing through it for YouTube's sake.
21:01 And just because it offers an extra challenge. I've beaten this game so many times before.
21:07 So, um, I think what I'm going to do is,
21:13 actually wait, I think I might see if I can, uh, uh, help the werewolf first.
21:19 And then, uh, if I can't, I'll go ahead and end the video and begin the next video entering the Ivalice.
21:26 Let's do that.
21:29 [Music]
21:37 [Music]
21:47 [Music]
21:57 [Music]
22:07 [Music]
22:17 [Music]
22:27 [Music]
22:37 [Music]
22:47 [Music]
22:50 Let's see here. Um, by the way, for, uh, anybody wondering,
22:55 I will be making my maps available for download.
22:59 But, you know, like you don't, I, I,
23:06 this game is, isn't really like the sequel.
23:11 Like just keeping, just following the game's, game will get you almost completed maps to begin with.
23:19 Um, although the Ivalice maps are always upsetting to me.
23:24 Because there's one way that you might lose them.
23:29 Or, you know, not get it all done. So I don't know.
23:33 Um, yeah. Let's go ahead and talk with this guy.
23:39 [Music]
23:43 "Get away! By all the gods, leave this place!"
23:47 [Music]
23:50 A one through four.
23:52 "If you would have us leave, you are not evil. Yet you may not be alone."
23:56 "Do other dangers look here unseen?"
24:01 Number two. "In our travels we have learned of lycanthropy."
24:04 "The curse is dangerous, but we are willing to attempt it."
24:08 The, the, learned of, "The cure is dangerous, but we are willing to attempt it."
24:12 Three. "We must destroy the heart of the infection, the progenitor."
24:16 "Three spells must then be cast upon you. May we find you here."
24:20 And then four. "You're in pain. Is there anything we can do to help?"
24:23 [Music]
24:26 Uh, I'm gonna start with, I'm gonna do one, four, and then two and three.
24:31 [Music]
24:32 [Music]
24:35 [Music]
24:38 [Music]
24:41 [Music]
24:44 [Music]
24:47 [Music]
24:50 [Music]
24:53 [Music]
24:56 [Music]

26:00 [Music]
26:07 [Music]
26:24 [Music]
26:27 [Music]
26:37 [Music]
26:48 [Music]
26:51 [Music]
26:58 [Music]
27:15 [Music]
27:18 [Music]
27:28 [Music]
27:40 [Music]
27:43 [Music]
27:53 Oh shoot.
28:01 Let me go ahead and talk to that guy again. I'm afraid that I might have muted it.
28:05 [Laughs]
28:08 Let's double check.
28:12 [Music]
28:15 Get away! By all of gods, leave this place!
28:21 You are wasting time!
28:24 Flee! Flee before my mind succumbs to arrogant, wolfish hunger!
28:29 And beware! I am not the only soul thus afflicted!
28:33 A progenitor wrongs these woods!
28:36 A beast who lives in the unholy joy of the cruelty it causes!
28:40 He is a large albino. Beware that sight and run without looking back!
28:45 [Music]
28:48 Ah, such courage!
28:52 If only my blood did not run like ice or beat with a coward's pulse,
28:56 I might ask you to end my misery!
28:59 Please get away! Have you no recognition of the form I take?
29:04 Soon I will lose all power to keep the beast at bay!
29:08 Like an enraged wolf, I will march beyond all compass, beyond all restraint!
29:13 Listen to me!
29:16 [Music]
29:19 Oh, by the spirit of my father, by my mother's endurance, yes, anything!
29:28 I swear to you my undying gratitude, all that I can, all that I have to give will be yours!
29:35 Go then, prepare what you must!
29:38 Retreat from the terrible rage that overcomes my heart!
29:43 He who is the root of this evil is an albino, a great and arrogant beast who lurks these woods!
29:51 Ah, my will fails me!
29:54 My heart is sheathed, held fast by a passion of red flesh, and what my jaws are snapping bound!
30:01 Your pain is great, but yes, I shall do what I can to wait for your return!
30:07 [Music]
30:10 So, this episode is a total, total goof-up failure of an episode.
30:19 Oh well, I'm not creating the greatest episode ever.
30:25 That's alright. Greatest walkthrough ever.
30:32 So yeah, the only thing that I can do is to go in here, clear out the Ivalice,
30:40 and then I go to the church, then I go to the cemetery, then I come back to heal the werewolf.
30:48 Which is funny because the werewolf, werewolves in this, it's just, there's so much out of kilter in how this game functions
30:59 that this is the reason why I like the sequel a lot better than this game.
31:05 Because in this game I get possessed, I can't do anything for four dungeons. I just can't.
31:12 And there's no way to stop the possession if you walk into the wrong building, you just have to load up a new save.
31:18 And then after that, all the quests are linear. I keep forgetting that they're all linear.
31:25 So yeah, and I'm going to make the next one a very quick episode of me running through the caves.
31:34 I'm going to pause it, finish the whole thing, show you what's what, and then I'm going to try and get through,
31:42 I'll make the church the episode after that, and then there will be the cemetery,
31:47 and then after the cemetery I'm going to do the business with getting the werewolf cured, and then I think it's off to Strat.
32:00 So, this was a disaster of an episode. It went completely out of order.
32:06 And I'm left with something like this. So, let's have fun anyway. Let's see if we can do it.
32:18 [Music]
32:22 [Music]
32:26 [Music]
32:29 [Music]
32:38 [Music]
32:49 [Music]
32:52 (upbeat music)
