And now back I go to the Promised Land and a not so pleasant rematch with the Bone Casket last encounter was back on New Years Eve (2023).
Fun.
____
And walking head-first into the Bone Casket. And promptly getting yeeted was not on the Book of Seeds' plans me thinks.
Still makes me laugh every time.
____
Should've continued with the Memory Card with the 6th Playthrough on it, could've had this boss battle down like clockwork but nope I got hyperfixated at getting 190,000 kills instead. And I'm hyperfixated on the Japanese version so it kind of went out the window.
Go me. 🙃

So, on my latest round in the Courtyard of the Grand Shrine I've cottoned onto Ogres sometimes sliding across the map.
I love that the Japanese version, has unintentional bugs adds to the charm and its hilarious.
____
In other news broke DOD2 again, because I somehow glitch climbed up the wall, dragging a Knight Guard along too.

May or may not have been mentally prepping for speed running Chapters 11 & 12.
Basically facing The Bone Casket is not a boss fight I enjoy, but I did make a save file of 6 playthroughs so I can beat it again like clockwork. Anyway I have to do it again on the Japanese version.
____
And the second to last Verse in Chapter 11, is Eris basically flies into a bunch of Arch-Dragons and has to get saved because she's a dumb-dumb.

In other news made a habit of seeing the hidden scene I found by accident 16 years ago. Every time I replay this game, because it keeps stomping on my feelings again.

27
And now onto Chapter 8 AKA the Chapter where Legna gets too cocky. And the Knights of the Seal rightfully hit his wing and he does a Beatrix Kiddo later.
____
I think I just broke my longest Chain record a lovely score of 2,060.
____
Went into the Shadow Gismor Boss Battle expecting to use my healing items, turns out I didn't need them and it took me 2 minutes to beat him anyway.

And now to speedrun Chapter 7, cheese Gismor and Caim as well because I can.
___
Cheesing Caim will never not be my way of getting my own back, considering the amount of shit this boss battle gave me 16 years ago.

Ah, getting Gismor's "Fuck you" Longsword again is going to be a breeze. Not like I spent most of yesterday getting the remaining weapons levelled up and my comfort character to max level too was totally worth the pre-prep for Chapter 12.
___
And now to speedrun Chapter 5 so I can unlock City of Rust and the Citadel of Light. Because I want to stubbornly grind out Thief's Secret and Yaha's Staff.
___
And landing on some unsuspecting Knights when dismounting Legna will never not be funny.

And my Comfort character (Nowe) may reach level 99 before I even start Chapter 4.
____
Will probably speedrun Chapters 4 & 5, once I finally level up Moonlit Beauty (it's already at level 2, so yeah won't take long because I'm so good at the chain system.)
AKA I'm going back to nosleepville again.

Made a stupidly long queue on Spoitfy, just so I can get Manah and Urick up to Level 70.
This is my life now.

In other news, in Chapter 2 Verse 2 Legna got "intimate" with some poison spewing rocks. Over did the accelerate a little too much and that was the hilarious result of it.

Back on my love/hate relationship with Takamasa AKA the lose huge chunks of my health for victory. Longsword.
Yay.
Yay.

Meanwhile, my knack for getting the most amusing screenshots whenever I hit pause. Never fails to make me laugh.
|
16
And onto Playthrough 2.
___
Meanwhile my method intentionally getting whoever I'm currently levelling up on DOD2 killed on Playthrough 2, just so I can level them up faster.
Never fails to work out so well.

Made Caim look stupid, because I cheesed Tornado's Eye it was glorious.
___
And up next the part I like to call "Angelus's circles of masochism" and to add insult to injury it's timed.

Okay, the English VA for Urick is still my favourite. The Japanese one isn't doing it for me 🙃
____
I may or may not lead a bunch of Minotaurs in the general direction of some Magicians, lets just say I've been laughing at the chaos I may have caused because of this.

And Playthrough 2 is going to be fun because well, I get to re-grind Gismor's "fuck you" Longsword AKA Pitch Black again. I mean it's cool we get his weapons and all, but Pitch Black is a subtle "fuck you" from Gismor for beating him twice.
___
Gismor's still salty because Hanch's poison didn't exactly do what he wanted it to, and his hate boner increased ten fold.

And no matter how many times I do the final puzzle in Chapter 2, I have to keep reminding myself that those little notes the enemies drop are counter intuitive. Little curve-ball the game devs threw in there and it's brilliant.
___
Knowing I can waltz my through the next three Chapters with Silver Butterfly, and being a over-levelled bully fills me with so much glee.

And the Knight Guards in Chapter 3 are in for a bad time, once I level this baby up.
By that I mean, them getting a blast of Orion's Dart and them getting thrown into the air.
___
And I like to call todays grind a success, because getting my favourite Longsword, levelled up by two levels in a day and a half is pretty good going for me.

Looking forward to speed running the first few verses of Chapter 2, so I can over-level and level up my favourite weapon.
___
Messed around in the game settings because I accidentally turned the blood settings off. By sheer dumb luck I got it back after spending a stupid amount of time after tinkering with the settings again.
___
Also realising that whoever voiced Legna in the Japanese version, sounds like a Takeshi's Castle reboot commentator. I can't unhear it.
___
Chapter 2 Verse 3 is going to be fun and I've nearly got Soldier's Sword up to Level 4.
Yeah, lets just say I know how to use the Chain system effectively. And how to level up both weapons and character quick.
___
And Chapter 2 Verse 4 will be a breeze, because I like being a over-levelled bully.
___
And by the time I eventually get round to completing Chapters 2 and 3 yeah, by then I'll be level 33-35.
Because I'm stubborn.

Oh, this is interesting I have to jump through hoops to access the options menu. This is fun I had to button mash my way to work this out.
____
Okay going to have get used to using O instead of X because this version has thrown my muscle memory a little.
___
I also hate that they made Gismor sound so good, meanwhile the English voice actor made him sound so much like you wanted to hate him, but here in the Japanese version I like his voice actor. 🙃
And kudos to whoever voices Eris, she sounds so eager I love it.
Okay she's voiced by Saki Aibu I wonder what other games this woman voiced in, because I like her already.
The English voice actor for Eris was always so serious and she had her moments, meanwhile Saki here makes Eris sound excited and happy.
This is turning out to be quite fun.
___
And glad there's little difference between the English voice actor of my comfort character and the Japanese one. I'm a happy bunny because the Japanese voice actor also has a calming voice too. I won.
___
I still like to think that somewhere in the District of Soul Flame, Manah and her people are just itching to set off some poisonous smoke from those rocks, and they're just counting down.
And Manah's like:
"Okay, okay...Go!"

Now excuse me while I go into no sleepville because I can play DOD2 in its native language (Japanese). Because my region free PS2 arrived, just have to take photos of my default settings for this game and switch the scart plugs and I'm good to go.
|
07
Finally succeeded in getting a Behemoth stuck inside the District of Shining Life passage.
___
Behemoths are the most amusing enemies in this game, and so, so exploitable for the most comedic reasons.

And a death I probably deserved in Drakengard 2.
Tried to see how much I could take the little Behemoth bullying once it got stuck in the corridors, may have resulted in me laughing. Seeing if it would charge its way out of said corridor and...I died because I wasn't paying attention to my health.

And of course off camera a comedic turn of events happen, cast Ancient Voices and the Behemoth rammed into cliff hit me then still died by the spell. While I was falling to the floor.
---
Good to know, if you annoy a Behemoth enough in the District of Shining Life they can break their way into the small passage. This may have caused me to laugh a lot because of how chaotic this has made things.
---
And yes, I may have died because of this discovery. Which I probably deserved because I was laughing too much and wasn't paying attention to my health.

Will never not be amused by Chapter 8 Verse 2, when the second section of the map has a bunch of explosive barrels not far from each other and a bunch of archers just standing there firing. The game's basically saying "go on, you know you want to"
It's mean but funny.
---
Just occurred to me since I'm replaying Chapter 8 again, but after Legna stupidly got hit on his wing. After the MCs went off did he just do a Beatrix Kiddo and start muttering "Wriggle your wing tip." and chiding himself because the Book of Seeds knew this was coming.
---
I like to think the Book of Seeds has a sense of humour.

Delved into that demo disc, amused that they chose Chapter 8's cinematic with no context, the ground mission from Chapter 1 and placed it in Chapter 5's location and the aerial mission of course they went with the beginning of Chapter 4.

And once I finish my grind on getting Manah up to Stufe 30 (having a blast with the German edition) I may attempt to play DOD1 again, because I have some new material that'll help me out and who knows maybe I'll finally get past Playthrough 1.
---
And if I wind up having a change of heart over the character I can't stand, yeah I don't want to even think about it.
But still he made a terrible impression in DOD2 so yeah, still hold that against him, and him killing Urick of course.

Anyway, a poor cashier at Waterstones had to hear me go on about how unintentionally dirty the Heiliger Kristallstab translation sounded at least he found it funny too.
|
25
In other news Heiliger Kristallstab may wind up living rent free in my head. Meanwhile the translators where blissfully unaware that a certain industry that caters to certain enjoyment already makes great use of glass toys.
---
And I'll never forget how my over-confidence with the use of the Ancient Voices spell, because I stood in the middle of Suits of Armour and them bitch slapping me.

And nothing fills me with more glee than being able sail through Playthrough 1 with my favourite Longsword, only other one I'm concerned about levelling up besides this one is Nobuyoshi.
I like to think the devs had a field day with that one.
It kills enemies with care.
---
I love the translation for Glory's Bane.
Sünde und Sühne, seems they went with the forgiveness route with it.
---
And Magi's Sorrow is dubbed as Heiliger Kristallstab the Sacred Crystal Wand, the unintentional innuendos this brings is amazing and I guess they found the story too depressing so opted for naming it something cheerful.
Brilliant.

Guess who'll probably be way over-levelled before I even finish Chapter 2. Because I'm stubbornly going to attempt get Silberschmetterling AKA Silverbutterfly up to Level 4.
Side note by the time you see this log, I may have already levelled it up to level 2.
---
And yes I already have my comfort character up to level 19, so by the time I get Silverbutterfly up to max level. he'll be in the mid 20s level wise since I'm grinding low EXP enemies at the moment.

So the amusing thing is that Rod or Staff translates to Stab did make me chuckle, bonus points Spiritblast in German is Seelenblitz and that just sounds so cool when spoken out loud or better yet Mindblast is instead named Lichtblitz.
I love Linguistics.
---
Would be annoyed that there was no German dubbing for this import but upside is I still get to hear the English VAs anyway. Not even mad about it.

The internal monologue from the two Undead Knights being thrown into the air is probably this.
"Oh no, not again."
or
"Once I get up you're going pay for that!"
Always a fun thought every now and then.

Slowly edging towards 160,000 kills at last. Might do more runs of The Grand Shrine to please my inner masochist.

I would do Red Memories, but recently I have dedicated that location to be Eris's playground because I can use her flawlessly in that level.
---
Also had a very entertaining morning, because I may have taunted a certain Behemoth forcing it to slam into the walls and to fly up to a high place to jump down and slash it only to do it again.
To get it to very low health because it's amusing to watch it charge and miss me.

On a fun note, my compulsion to check every inch of a level to make sure I've got all the loot while the people who I'm meant to help may or may not be getting the shit beaten out of them by Hobgoblins...

On a fun note, found that most of my deaths in Drakengard 2 are only by two things.
Due to my own over-confidence
or
Death by wearing Knight armour.
At least I can laugh at this.

I swear my most recent run of Chapter 11 Verse 3 I once again got by the skin of my teeth yet again, Arch-Dragons will always be a bitch no matter how many times I do it.

And if I can take out the Bone Casket efficiently, and not have to avoid it like the plague. Stupid Boss Battle has caused me nothing but since I returned to it but fingers crossed that won't be the case for much longer.
Hopefully.
Did I mention? Anxiety's a bitch.
---
I would've loved to have been a fly on a wall, when the Book of Seeds thought their plan was gonna work and well...Yeah...
Instead the Bone Casket just yeets Nowe in the most hilarious way possible, good job Book of Seeds was that also part of the plan?

And if I can take out the Bone Casket efficiently, and not have to avoid it like the plague. Stupid Boss Battle has caused me nothing but since I returned to it but fingers crossed that won't be the case for much longer.
Hopefully.
Did I mention? Anxiety's a bitch.
---
I would've loved to have been a fly on a wall, when the Book of Seeds thought their plan was gonna work and well...Yeah...

For my own amusement, I've decided to lure three Knight Guards around the low part of the Citadel of Light.
Only because I want to see Suits of Armour bitch slap them.
---
And me doing multiple playthroughs on my file specifically on me getting 1, 000, 000 kills. Means it gives me time to be able to be proficient in taking out the Bone Casket I used to be able to do it quite well. Hence I had many memory cards with multiple playthroughs.

And now back to the timed mission that I lovely call "Angelus's flaming obstacle course" because having to jump through circles without them causing stupid amounts of damage is fun.
---
Would've loved to have been a fly on the wall when they came up with this mission.
---
Anyway I'm back at staying the Undead again.
This should be Eris's or Manah's job but well as you can see they aren't really needed.
---
Now excuse me while I try and remember what the fuck I did many years ago, to unlock a hidden scene in one of the locations.
All I remember is I did it by accident.
---
Nevermind I did it.

Because finding new ways to annoy Behemoths never gets boring.

Speed running my way to Chapter 8 again, just so I can wrack up another 800+ kills.
This is my life now.
---
I love poking holes in Gismor's attacks and exploiting him so that he can't do them, ah Ancient Voices is a dickish spell and I love it.
---
Anyway, back to business.
I think I've worked out what my New Years Eve/Day drawing might be now and bonus not dying as much with the Super Orb so win, win.
---
Because seeing if the Behemoth can smash its way through this corridor, is something on the list of things I want to see happen if I persist long enough.
I have way too much time on my hands...

May have waltzed into Chapter 6 Verse 2 feeling so damn powerful in short I love being able to use any character against any enemy.
|

And a rather angry Hobgoblin tried a mid-air attack at me which did land while it fell, which I probably deserved as it plummeted down below.
This game never fails to give me a good laugh without intending to.

Bemused because I may have annoyed a Behemoth in the City of Rust, and it slow-motion died because I sent a wave of Orion's Dart in a hope and guess kind of way.
Brilliant.
---
It basically slow-motion bumped into the wall, sometimes I wish I could capture these events the best things happen off camera.
---
And back to grinding those 130, 000 kills.
Since I'm at 128, 160 not too far off yes I still want get 1, 000, 000 kills.

May have realised while I was near the third Pillar didn't get to the right point fast enough and stupidly thought I was safe, but nope I probably deserved that death due to my overconfidence.
I will persist.
---
May or may have died because I was tad overconfident, but I may or may not have cheesed Legna because I'm a insufferable jerk.

Back to save file 2, might as well get Chapter 6 done and maybe over-level Urick just a tad.
Because I like bullying enemies.

Doing a another practice run on the boss battle that I've been avoiding like the plague, but I want to unlock the Super Orb again.
Yeah, lets just say getting those guides in the post was a good incentive to do so. And my little drawing of the map wasn't far off actually.
---
Okay, the Knight Orb is too distracting for its own good back to the other outfit.
Much to my annoyance.
---
And I almost had it down just two more hits.

Ah, Chapter 5 Verse 5 the one where Legna complains if you don't let him join in, yeah made the mistake of using him many years ago on this mission had to fight a bunch of Beholders because of it.
Not happening.
---
District of Precious Light Archers aren't very smart as one may have shot one of their own Knights, I may have laughed a little.
Yes I do exploit this because it's funny.
----
Back to save file 1 and my attempt to get that bloody Staff from the Ancient Tomb, since I know how to get it now.
Not happening.

When a character enters the party and they're a couple levels lower than the other two who way into the 30s and other is only level 18...
And not me being secretly calling them a dead-weight because I have level them up, not me.
It's worse on Suikoden IV, trust me you don't want to see me
when I deal with that on that game.
In a certain Chapter in Suikoden IV Kika's ship mates tag along and are at such an embarrassingly low level and I'm just there being over-levelled and carrying them.

Finally worked out how many enemy kills in the Ancient Tomb interior mission I have to get plus all the extras included, and I can finally get that bloody Staff that's been eluding me for 16 bloody years.
And of course it's 69.

And I may or may not have cheesed the Kelpie boss battle because I was under-levelled...
---
I just love it when I have to face a bunch of Magicians that can heal each other, and when I get two of them down to half of their health and their friends make it go straight back up again.
---
Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of the Orion's Dart spell, don't feel sorry for the Knight Guards being the victims of it though.
Watching them plummet to the floor will never not be amusing.

Only two weapons left to level up now are Silver Butterfly (Level 2) and Philosopher's Staff (Level 1). Yeah Chapter 4 Verse 6 is going be a breeze.
|
27
Anyway, once I'm done with the current round of over-levelling and going into Chapter 4 Verse 6 is going to be fun for me, the enemies not so much.
|
26
May have overdone a Sonic Blow spell, sent the Ogre flying to the upper side of the map...
|
25
Another reason I like replaying this game, I keep finding things I missed. Like the two villagers in the Village of Stone shit talking Zhangpo kicking the bucket.
---
And I just caught on to the fact that Ogres stole a bunch of doors, and had the bright idea that'd make great shields.
I had to do a double-take on this one.
---
And somewhere in one of the Districts, there where countless angry screams because a bunch of doors went missing.

And latest antics include, a Knight Solider being flung into the air right as the game gives a lesson in Goblin Shamans.

Back to save file 2, for a tiny break.

Anyway noticed how the mission in the free expedition of the Closed Land is quite funny.
1. Go after 4 angry Behemoths kill em.
2. Go after the 5th one.
3. No wait I said the 4!
4. You've annoyed the Undead now kill them too.
5. Just kill the 5th one the other 4 Behemoths buggered off somewhere.

And the whole thing of me standing in the middle of Suits of Armour and getting bitch slapped for breaking their shields is still living rent free in my head.

I love giving myself an intentional difficulty spike by using the starting weapons I get is always fun.
And why you probably didn't see much of me yesterday, is because I was venting my anger and frustration in said game that is kind of keeping me grounded AKA Drakengard 2.
------
Oh good the sleep deprivation is kicking in early, know why? I'm trying to remember which crystal I forgot to activate in the Fire Cavern Fortress...
I royally fucked my sleep --schedule up yesterday because stress is fun.

Found it.

And I keep telling myself I won't go back to the Bone Casket boss battle until I reach either 119, 000 kills or 130, 000 kills.
Considering my last attempt was a comedy of errors, yeah me unlocking the Super Orb isn't happening anytime soon...
