Ego is about quantity over quality. Never use non-white cauldrons with ego (except with regen scrap) because you're just giving up 2-4 potential pieces of ego food. Also don't bother scrapping anything that isn't actively being detrimental to you unless you're immediately going to turn it into other items with printers, it's all effectively already scrap for the ego.
Imagine if Mithrix's Egos also take his items So if the fight takes long enough it's you vs Mithrix, on the final destination of the game, with no items (save for Ego)
mithrix does use any item conversions (delicate watch, void teddy, ego, etc) but he gives the items back based on what he took not what he's currently holding
I actually really like egocentrism. My favorite run since the patch ended up with over 200 of them (entire galaxy swirling around the character) which I then turned into ~160 pearls and 58 irradiant pearls - it was amazing.
until you tripped on a bug and flew across the map, bounced off the edge, hit the height limit, and fell to your death. right? radiant pearls are awesome... but damn it's hard to manage them. love that new lunar that double health and halves move speed. so much easier now.
@@omegalord777 Oh, nothing could kill me. 30k health and the armor and regen from 58 irradiant pearls meant that unless i stumbled into a void-enemy's instant-death-thingy there would have been nothing that could harm me. I did get the half-speed-double-health blue item in the next shop tho just to make it less dizzying to play.
@@omegalord777 there is a lunar item called stone flux pauldron which doubles your hp in exchange for halving your speed, this is a perfect item to counter the pearl movement speed
my best run was literally 6 and a half hours. bought ego three times, converted into pearls twice. over 100 standard pearls, and THIRTY TWO RADIANT. ended up with more than 30 benthic blooms as well. ended up killing the run just because there was no end in sight. that's just what happens when you have LITERALLY 50k+ hp/shield with a max of 100k+ with fully stacked barrier from aegis. healing for more than 150k/s, and not even bosses can approach without instant death due to having... basically every red in the game always stacked well over ten due to benthic. ego literally could not stuff itself fast enough to damage the build anything that came within ego range started a chain reaction that killed everything else out to about 5x ego range. ego, shrimp, frost relic, pocket rocket, knives and nukahauntus. aegis, wungus, rejuv racks, and well over 12 corpsebloom. the 150k/s healing was just because 50+ wungus and 10+ corpsebloom means if i sprint AT ALL, ima heal for 150k/s for the foreseeable future. eventually i had 14 shifts and my commando could cosplay Maxim from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (if you know what i mean you know what i mean). i also ended up with 12 charges of ultimate on global cooldown, so if i ACTUALLY WANTED TO DO ANYTHING MYSELF i could literally just spam R and forget i have a primary. ...was kinda broken, not gonna lie.
Beginning of phase 3 had me scared Mithrix keeps your lunars til he dies, I've never paid attention to whether it did or not and thought the run was for sure over
It's not good, except for doing cleansing pool shit, but even then, unless you had ultimate bad luck the items you would have had would be doing more. Like killing everything in the mail in a sec.
I play RoR2 like once in a while with my bro and sometimes alone, haven't touched the game for months now. But I'm always watching this dude lol, content is just amazing even for people that don't play the game or don't play as often. He keeps you updated and also has some very fun playthroughs with commentary, not to mention the edits that are in another level. Really a top notch content creator Woolie, hope you keep doing it.
I like the darkening effect, but slightly reduce it when you're just showing items and not giving a detailed description of them (like your description of ego) or putting particular attention to some descriptions (eclipse modifier at 3:55)
It would be sick if you gained more stacks of ego based on the item it absorbs. Like, 1 stack for whites, 2 for greens, 3 for yellows, and blues, and a whopping 5 for reds. It would synergize hilariously with benthic, provided it doesn't take that too... regardless, it would be pretty OP, but in a fun way.
Along with the darkness that others mentioned, you can also disable the output for audio channel 6 so that the music would appear live, but not in the VOD/clips. The current ducking is serviceable but still a bit awkward.
yk be awesome if you were to record your mic audio as a seperate file too soy ou could add it into your videos without the music turning on then cutting off constantly
@@Marxon1134 yeah probably, but still if he recorded the mic audio separately while streaming then just shoved them both into the editing software, deleted the twitch audio and just used the mic recording that would work. and be easier than having to fade the audio in and out
I only got the DLC about a week ago, but Egocentrism was the first lunar item i got when i got back into the game and ran a chill drizzle run to reacquaint myself with the game and check out the new items. I had 76 stacks of it by the time i died to several blazing Grandparents because i was using Swarms and hit two shrines of the mountain. It felt BS to die literally immediately to the burn procs, but having that much Egocentrism was super fun to play with while it lasted. Definitely a fun item that I'll always say is fun but never pick up because I'll be grinding unlocks for the forseeable future.
I agree with other commenters I don't think we need the screen darkening and focus shift stuff that much. Not sure if the music cutting in and out a lot was part of the editing or you doing it manually but I wouldn't mind the music being generally lower.
I love the edits, adds a lot more flavor to the video. However when the items popped up on screen like shaped glass, tonic, and gesture, the screen didn't need to darken all that much.
Doesn't Twitch have a tool to remove the music from the VOD? "Soundtrack by Twitch". You can use it with your own music on steam and then put something without copyright for CZcams.
Playing with a mod that makes it so each stack of ego makes it convert items faster. Love picking it up on super long runs and just watching it suddenly zap your entire inventory.
I did an ego run once and I'm pretty sure it takes the most recent items you got, meaning that your oldest items will typically stay with you if you can pick other items up fast enough. It's been a while since my last ego run though, so I definitely could be wrong Edit: never mind the video literally disproves that
Ego really should prioritize scrap first. Still random rarity on that and all regular items once it gets to them, but as is I never even consider picking it up
best item in the game tbh
You assume we do not already know this
Lol
yes
what playlist is that?
Na we all know it’s the happiest mask
Wooly: “Perhaps I shouldn’t of picked up brilliant behemoth”
Ego: “Say no more”
Ego: I'll take it then

All is scrap. All is Egocentrism.
(And occasionally, all is Pearls)
I think egocentrism is a perfect name. Ego, meaning I or Me, is perfect.
Depends, if u are SURE ego doesn’t have time to consume everything, one red can help (if it doesn’t consume it) like behemoth
Imagine if Mithrix's Egos also take his items
So if the fight takes long enough it's you vs Mithrix, on the final destination of the game, with no items (save for Ego)
I do not want to imagine a fight with mithrix with 100 egocentrisms
Yeah, no. Egos would just make the fight impossible
mithrix does use any item conversions (delicate watch, void teddy, ego, etc) but he gives the items back based on what he took not what he's currently holding
No (other) items, ego only, final destination
It does. Why wouldn't it? You can hear it happen to Engineer's turrets too.

@@Swagmessiah8394 kindaaa. wax quail still can do goofy stuff
I died to ego when it removed my items while Im mid-air.
@@omegalord777 there is a lunar item called stone flux pauldron which doubles your hp in exchange for halving your speed, this is a perfect item to counter the pearl movement speed
i love that Egocentrism turns your head into a star, such a cool and funny item thinking about it, "everything revolving around me"
Watching the turret walk to ego mythrix was like watching a dog walk into rush hour trafic
Love the editing woolie, keep it up
Great vid👍
Love the new editing woolie! Great work!
Thank His editor

...was kinda broken, not gonna lie.
"kinda broken"
11:38 something about this guy just makes him the best entertainer on the platform, its the energy i think. been laughing at this for a good while now
I'm not gonna lie I never thought of playing engi with walking bomb turrets lol that looks so fun
Beginning of phase 3 had me scared Mithrix keeps your lunars til he dies, I've never paid attention to whether it did or not and thought the run was for sure over
Honestly had my doubts about the practicality of ego but I see the potential now, damn lol.
It's not good, except for doing cleansing pool shit, but even then, unless you had ultimate bad luck the items you would have had would be doing more. Like killing everything in the mail in a sec.
Ur a goob, dood. Fun to watch
Woolie blessed us with the quality edits today 💪💪
Friendship ended with Abandoned Aqueduct, now Aphelian Sanctuary is my best friend
My favorite ror2 moment was when the enemy had a crowbow
mine was then they have tesla coil

Really nice editing choices! Good quality, also Ego is truly the best item in the game :^)
Joe is really killing it with the edits!
Nothing better than a year old Woolie video at midnight while I eat cold mac n cheese.
keep smashing it with the content woolie

Ego when it sees you pick up a delectable red item: finally some good fucking food.
Love this increased production value
Mr.Gamer: Maybe taking a behemoth wasn't the best idea?
Game: Well, if you don't want it...
Bro woolie, the editing was on point this episode!
I love the music this video. I'm always a sucker for pendulum and drum and bass.
Absolutely love the edit style. :)
Love the edits in this video very cool
This is some high-quality content!

I really can notice how much better the editing has gotten for these shorter videos 👍
delicious editing on this video i must say
yk be awesome if you were to record your mic audio as a seperate file too soy ou could add it into your videos without the music turning on then cutting off constantly
He might just be downloading twitch vods making that impossible
@@Marxon1134 yeah probably, but still if he recorded the mic audio separately while streaming then just shoved them both into the editing software, deleted the twitch audio and just used the mic recording that would work. and be easier than having to fade the audio in and out
The music syncing for the last phase on Mithrix was beautiful.
yooo i'm loving your editing
Insanely good video 👍
ego had your back when you started second guessing your behemoth idea.
editing do be goated
I only got the DLC about a week ago, but Egocentrism was the first lunar item i got when i got back into the game and ran a chill drizzle run to reacquaint myself with the game and check out the new items.

the title is exactly how it feels. Ego will make you laugh and make you cry
Ego, knowing phase 4 mithrix would take egos, took your movement speed to spare you from it's betrayal.
This is the best video on CZcams!!!
I agree with other commenters I don't think we need the screen darkening and focus shift stuff that much. Not sure if the music cutting in and out a lot was part of the editing or you doing it manually but I wouldn't mind the music being generally lower.
The music is part of the stream, you can even hear Woolie at the end trying to find a non-DMCA song on his playlist for the CZcams highlight video.
will be fixed for next time :)
we may not need it but i liked it :)
@@Woolie i liked it : )
My very first or second run, my first lunar item was ego. I did not expect what it did, and now I have an inherent rivalry with it
Great video
Oh that drive by Pepe is top tier
GOAT Thumbnail
Woolies upping his Editing game I see looking slick with it
I like the new editing style it's really nice
That Behemoth and Dio's will certainly be missed, egocentrism in a nutshell xD
Not sure but after using it several times, I think prioritizes by tier, taking your best first.
The ego, one of the very few if not, only way to get rid of void items.
I like when things pop up but the screen doesn't need to darken for it
3:54 is redundant, makes it excessive
All become one beneath the E G O.
I think the bombs regenerate like the shuriken, they have a set amount of time that they all must regenerate in.
First it giveth, then it taketh away
I love the edits, adds a lot more flavor to the video. However when the items popped up on screen like shaped glass, tonic, and gesture, the screen didn't need to darken all that much.
The editing is so good one this one
Doesn't Twitch have a tool to remove the music from the VOD? "Soundtrack by Twitch". You can use it with your own music on steam and then put something without copyright for CZcams.
Great
really good for new player with new editing and we can know what happen in video great
"Maybe Behemoth wasn't the best idea... aaaand it's gone."
If you can keep a plasma shrimp with ego, you're practically a god.
The song at the end is fire tho
Imagine coming back home on Safe Travels and people on Earth starts thinking "the fuck are those billions of blue things in the sky?"
Engineer gaming in there
You listen to the exact same music I do. You have good taste.
Ego is the key to Pearls.
Playing with a mod that makes it so each stack of ego makes it convert items faster. Love picking it up on super long runs and just watching it suddenly zap your entire inventory.
Good editing
Kinda off topic but you have great taste in music
Im a huge EDM fan
the law of equivalent exchange
Wait why does his triangle phase have less triangles? I swear when I'm playing there's like double triangles
this shit goes crazy
first time i took ego i lagged out my teamates computers.
10/10 would do again.
my first moon item after getting the DLC.. right after that the item that halves movement speed...
praise be thy lord
Pog moment
I have a mod that changes this items name to thanos and expected a rant about how ego can make people do worse or better or smth
Eggs go spin PepegaRoll
I did an ego run once and I'm pretty sure it takes the most recent items you got, meaning that your oldest items will typically stay with you if you can pick other items up fast enough. It's been a while since my last ego run though, so I definitely could be wrong
Edit: never mind the video literally disproves that
Even just watching this video with this inimd, it lines up
I honestly expected it to instantly convert the irradiant to punish you for not converting them all.
I've got an ego? Yeah about 29 of them
Yo, dude! What's the playlist you use during streams? I would love to jam out with some of these songs from that playlist!
Personally love the new editing
alternate title, "amputee engineer kills god with cannibalistic glowing balls"
Ego be like SLURP
love the new editing
Ayo haywyre in the background!
I've come to the conclusion that it is definitely a picky eater. It just doesn't wanna eat the bad items
I had a run where my first item was ego.
Needless to say i rapidly made to 7 and then died almost immediately ;_;
Is visions of heresy good on engie or does it gimp his turrets too much?
Ego really should prioritize scrap first. Still random rarity on that and all regular items once it gets to them, but as is I never even consider picking it up
listening to drop bombs while dropping bombs
Scrap should be prioritiesd over anything with ego just lime a scrapper
