00:00 Heydy heydy heydy ho! How's everything going with you my fine audience?
00:07 Um...
00:09 So...
00:11 Alright, alright.
00:15 Let's uh...
00:17 Let's uh... get this going here.
00:20 So everybody out in video land, please like, comment, share, subscribe, and hit the little notification button.
00:28 Help me on my road to partner with YouTube.
00:34 Now, uh...
00:36 I decided to try and check on some things.
00:38 I don't... I...
00:40 All of the walkthroughs I used to use like 25 years ago have vanished.
00:44 There's only one walkthrough left.
00:47 And it's a really terrible walkthrough.
00:50 They don't have any quests for the father who's missing a son.
00:53 I remember looking for the son, and I remember searching the entire game.
01:01 I don't ever remember completing that quest because I don't think there was a quest.
01:07 When I first got the game I just put myself on a quest to find it.
01:12 And it feels like there should be a quest, but it doesn't look like there is one.
01:17 I'll know soon enough, because I've cleared every map now except for the cemetery, and Strad's Castle, and Old Slavic Road North.
01:29 So, once I start doing that, if there's nothing in Old Slavic Road North, then there is no quest for that man.
01:40 I don't know if he's just flavor text.
01:43 Same thing with that old crazy woman.
01:46 They may just be flavor text, which is fine. I mean, that's cool.
01:49 Except I think that they might have actually been part of an intended quest that was cancelled.
01:55 This game was sort of rushed, even though it's pretty damn cool and big and expansive for when it came out.
02:03 I mean, this came out in... when?
02:06 Was it '94 or so?
02:08 And it basically had first-person controls, you know?
02:14 So, yeah, let's get going and let's have some fun.
02:20 [music]
02:22 [music]
02:24 [music]
02:27 [music]
02:55 Oh, yeah, and if you notice, there are almost no monsters in the cemetery, so, yeah, you can kill all the monsters.
03:01 I don't know. They stopped spawning.
03:05 [music]
03:08 [music]
03:10 [music]
03:24 [music]
03:35 [music]
03:37 [music]
04:03 [music]
04:05 Okay, so this is really a riddle, and I remember it now.
04:19 It's like the weirdest riddle.
04:21 Like, the last thing down there, it says, "Dust to dust, our blessing gains a magic to calm our sister's soul."
04:29 There are two magical dust pouches that you find in the graveyard.
04:35 I didn't really write all this stuff down on the maps, because, quite frankly, you need all the experience you can get in this game, and you will just come across it.
04:49 That's just a fact. You're just going to come across everything in the story.
04:57 So, yeah, here are the two dusts, and you have to put it on the statues, if I remember correctly.
05:12 So let me save and do this.
05:14 [music]
05:26 "Patient guardian, will you speak? Reveal the secret over which you stand your silent watch."
05:34 "In ghostly grief our sister wails, a lament to burst the hearts of mortal men.
05:40 Long ago, an evil prince pursued us to this place, to vanquish our sister's love.
05:46 As we stand without, her spirit waters over him within the tomb.
05:51 There, his signet lies in. His honor, and his only link to Avonlea, cast down by the jealous lord.
05:59 Only my blessing, when rightly asked, may calm our sister's tears."
06:05 "Elven spirit, how may we gain your blessing?"
06:11 "Speak not of blessings before the story in its breadth unfolds.
06:16 To find yet another doorway to the truth, my twin holds the second key."
06:21 [music]
06:25 [music]
06:27 "O valiant guardian, can you speak with us? Might you reveal the secret over which you watch and ward?"
06:48 "Long ago, in a fit of jealousy, a prince of our land slew a warrior who was brave and true.
06:55 In forsaken ground he rests, far from home. Burdened by an unjust death, unable to reach precious Avonlea,
07:04 he waits and stirs while we stand guard. We watch, for a gift of unforesaw dust,
07:11 and then for heroes brave and just, to ask God's blessing and to seek the love."
07:18 [music]
07:20 "The gift of dust is yours, now please hear our words. May we in turn receive the gift of your blessing."
07:26 "Your offering reveals your heart, and my blessing I bestow upon you freely.
07:33 Hear me, Valor, for my sister awaits your presentation.
07:37 Both she and I beg with pleading hearts for your assistance.
07:41 Aid, if you can, the warrior whose uneasy soul awaits for them."
07:47 [music]
07:49 "Patient guardian, will you speak? Reveal the secret over which you stand your silent watch."
08:07 "I'm not sure if they actually give my blessing or not at this point."
08:11 "In ghostly grief our sister..."
08:14 "There we go, you have to go through that whole thing again, then you get new dialogue.
08:21 Number two is, we have spoken with the other guardian, your twin, she has given us her blessing.
08:26 May we in turn receive the gift of yours."
08:28 "Your gift of dust reveals the purity of your thoughts, and my blessing I bestow upon you eagerly.
08:36 Together with my twin, I beg with pleading hearts for your assistance.
08:40 Please help the warrior whose uneasy soul awaits for them."
08:44 [music]
08:53 [music]
08:55 [roar]
09:05 "Uh, okay, I guess I've gotten the blessing, so I'm going to save."
09:16 [music]
09:18 [roar]
09:28 "Long ago in a..."
09:36 "Your offering reveals your heart, and my blessing I bestow upon you freely.
09:42 For my sister awaits your presentation."
09:46 "Well, I don't see any blessing.
09:54 Um, you know, I'm going to venture and say that the blessing is being protected from the Banshee's wail of immediately killing us.
10:03 You know, I've never gone in there without the blessing,
10:06 um, but I do know that Banshees are supposed to immediately kill people in Dungeons and Dragons.
10:13 Either that, or maybe they made their sister disappear. We'll find out."
10:19 [music]
10:30 [music]

11:00 [roar]
11:04 [roar]
11:10 [roar]
11:14 [thud]
11:23 [roar]
11:27 [music]
11:29 "Yeah, I think they got rid of their sister. I think they told her to vent loose."
11:49 "This place has the eerie dimensions of the grave, of the annihilation of all hope and life. How came you here?"
11:58 "By this road and that one. By the tricks of his parents' fate.
12:04 If you stay alive for many more years, you too will understand how miserable the journey becomes.
12:10 I was a swordsman of great skill. Many honors were mine.
12:14 In time, the royal family itself treated me as their own. My prince became my brother.
12:21 But the day would come when the prince and I are no longer the same in this place."
12:27 "The Banshee that guards your tomb, is she related to the twins outside? One of them mentioned their weeping sister.
12:37 That's number one. Number two is, you will see we are not without pity for your tortured and imprisoned soul.
12:43 How may we help?"
12:45 "Yes. They are the three glorious sisters of the House of Ebonclaw.
12:53 The Groggy spirit was she with whom my prince and I both fell in love.
12:58 But I loved my prince too, as my brother, and I could deny him nothing.
13:04 So I left home, wandering. Coming after her time to Groggy as a part of Strahd's conquering army.
13:11 She bore him. Ah, how she sought me out. Was she not being more than my principal?"
13:18 "My prince caused my death. He drew the Elverzi blade and plunged it through my heart.
13:31 In jealousy, he swore the woman we both loved and thus sealed her fate.
13:36 To wail within this horrid tomb. To aid us, find my family's signet.
13:43 A locket of sorts, hidden in the chambers below.
13:46 It holds the key to our release and our journey to Elven peace and harmony.
13:51 For the gift of that peace, I will reward you well.
13:55 Go now, and succeed."

14:30 You know, those potions of fiery burning are actually really powerful,
14:36 and I'm going to be using them in Strahd's castle.

52:07 Okay everybody, I'm going to end this
52:30 video here. This is a second floor and
52:36 this one went on for 50 minutes. I just
52:39 thought I'd show you what it's like to
52:42 watch a full video without any jump cuts.
52:47 I was having fun. I hope you guys had some
52:52 fun too. I don't think I'm going to
52:57 play the second floor for a billion and
53:02 one reasons. One of them is that I'm
53:06 going to stop work and I do want to play
53:09 the second floor so I'm likely going to
53:12 just pause it in a lot of areas. You know,
53:19 pause the recording and stop playing in a
53:22 number of areas and all that stuff. So
53:25 like, comment, share, subscribe and hit the
53:28 little notification button for those of
53:30 you watching the video on YouTube. Help me
53:33 get to partner. I'd appreciate that. And
53:37 yeah, I wanted to show you how I map make,
53:41 how I go through everything and some of
53:45 the spells like that Wizard's Eye are
53:47 useless. Just absolutely useless. There's
53:53 no way to control them. I'm pretty sure
53:58 that there is no area, no secret area
54:01 over here in the bottom left. There may be
54:05 but I don't know. I don't think so. I'll
54:09 show you the enemies on the second floor
54:11 but basically that's what dungeon
54:14 crawling is, is what I showed you. There
54:18 are buttons all over. I didn't mark the
54:19 buttons with the doors because, I mean
54:25 honestly by this time if you've been
54:27 playing you should know how to hit the
54:29 buttons. I do mark the teleports though.
54:32 I mean the buttons are pretty blatant. I'll
54:36 only do it if it's like confusing but
54:38 there's literally no way to get confused
54:46 because you can't progress until you
54:49 find it. You know, if you're
54:53 searching every room you should find it.
54:56 If you don't, I'm forcing you to learn
55:06 because I'm a terrible human being.
55:10 Anyway, I'm enjoying this game but you
55:14 know mindless dungeon crawls aren't that
55:17 great. I just enjoyed this level so I
55:21 didn't pause it. Next one I'm gonna pause it
55:24 and get through a lot of it all at once.
55:27 Anyway, take care. I love y'all. Have fun. Bye.
