Unbalance for you and for the enemies the game:
I think that's the true balance
Agree the only unbalance thing is that there is one/4 of you and a dungeon full of them. That the fun thing about fear and hunger.
@@mjoh3652true
The unbalance goes both ways
@@haterquasesincero9381 that's by definiton of what unbalance means
Glass shards in Fear and Hunger: I’m gambling my life away so the enemy is slightly less accurate
Glass shards in F&H Termina: Ok now I can solo fight basically any boss in the game because they can’t see shit
lmao
Wait, are there glass shards in the first game?
@@WookieRookie oops, no glass shards, but they’re so synonymous with blindness in Termina it slipped my mind.
@@gungfry7728fr? I think glass be in 1 part
Yeah, I just did a Maso run, and Marcoh Bob and Weave + Glass Shards can cheese 90% of fights in the game lol
It absolutely shits on the Gull Bros, the mob, Moonless, Needles and etc
Wheelchairless maso run hurt Frapollo so bad he went back to his ex funger 1 to get some solace. Funger, having been so thoroughly beaten by Frapollo at this point, takes him back and nurtures him despite the horrors he inflicted on them.
What a sad tale of an abusive relationship. *sigh*
Actually, Maso Mode was made almost a year ago XD he just make a compilation of sorts about that experience. But YES, he did.
And they say Termina is easier. JA. JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA.
Congradulations Frapollo on 100k, you've earned it
Thanks!
@@frapollo94yeah straight up man. You made me realize how cool this game is.
I might be too shit and easily discouraged to play it well but shit this is a cool ass game! Thank you for showing people that
Its funny how bad blindness is in funger 1 compared to termina where it just makes any fight a joke
Yeah termina blindness is what this blindness could maybe have been
"Wasting your first turn may get you heavily punished"
Me with an white angle soul spamming murky vials on anything that moves:
There is a problem. If you use red vial in a normal turn, it applies at the end of the turn. If you use red vial on an extra turn, the effect applies at the end of the NEXT turn
@@frapollo94 Ah yes, a very functional game design.
just put the mask on to grow infinite free eyeballs
Daan be like
Micolash: Grant us eyes, grant us eyes
Iron mask: Oh, say less
I think you should do so too scout

@@TheTSense i dont have walls im homeless
Now that the Crow Mauler was mentioned I want to share something:
In an old Frap video of useless facts he pointed a door that opens literally when spawning the Crow Mauler. Not unlock, open. And he joked that is lore that the Mauler himself crossed that door.
Turns out he was right at some degree. Inside the room of that door there is a insect that you can interact with and will tell you that "The crow is coming...". So Miro wanted to add an early event in which the Corw Mauler ambushedus in the first rooms but alas didn't made it.
Good video, Frap. Waiting for more ;)
OHO! WOW! Imma take this info for the next useless video thanks!
frapollo: blindless is usseless!
frapollo patreons: ok now do F&H S ending blindless only
frapollo: why i open the mouth....
Thats what i wanted to say, oh yeah, Ragnavaldr S ending obviously
this is oddly funnier given you have a remilia scarlet PFP for some reason. cannot put my finger on why?
@@Destruction42k-yg4ws oh my photo? It just a genderswap remilia
@@Destruction42k-yg4ws um ok? Yeah i like remilia scarlet, but why you find it funny?
@@rodrigocofre693 I never meant any offence. remilia just seems like the sort of person to point that out. read your original comment in a smug version of her voice. (Not that you meant it that way.)
Most interesting thing is... In overworld you're blind, the second you enter battle somehow you actually magically regrow your eyes to see where the fuck you should hit... Logically flawless...
Da'an: "This is not a problem for me"
Honestly, if blindness was instant and maybe had its accuracy loss upped a little - it might've worked as a status effect. Something maybe for longer fights, something that might work for you in a pickle, yknow. But as it stands, it's almost absolutely useless as a status effect. Good video as usual
I'd say, if more bosses had less certain hits and more physical attacks that may help
@@frapollo94 That too, absolutely.
Super eyepatch wolf introduced me to the game but frapollo made me understand how to play
ah yes, the Stevie Wonder debuff
Is that a reference to something?
@@frapollo94 blind musician
@@frapollo94 He is a famous blind musician
@frapollo94 no, it's just a superstition.
If only Steve put on the iron mask & took it off 😔
the worst mechanic by far is phase step, in every playthrough you have two option when aquiring empty scroll:
1. learn phase step and beat the game.
2. play the game normally.
thank god they removed it in termina.
interesting fact: I thought about speedrunning Ending E using Phase, but... I play in Russian. The translator simply did not add the ability to learn this spell. Slavs don't know how to do Phase)
@@vlade129 Разве это уже не пропатчили?
@@Astareia7312 ась? А что тогда нужно в Пустом Свитке написать, чтоб Фазу выучить?
I mean to be fair isn't phase-step not even meant to be in the game?
I thought they left it in the code by accident
@@An_Entire_Lime Yes, it shouldn't be in the game. Miro forgot to remove it, as well as various developer panels (many of which, by the way, can only be reached with Phase). He needed a tool to make game development easier, which should have been removed at release, but laziness and/or forgetfulness won out.
Every good game has an intended way to be played, and one which allows you to break it in every way possible.
Exploits should always be conted as game mechanics.
Completely true, just looking at you, Dark Souls
Heyo Frapollo, congratulations on 100k!!
Thanks!
The way you say “FEAR AND HUNGERRR!” in the beginning of each video brings me immense joy.
Got blinded by an inquisitor in Termina. I rage-quit and haven’t had the will to gain my progress back. I had no idea blindness was so horrible when I played the first one. I never wanted to waste any red vials, but when I did it was on the crow mauler. But I had the glitch where I couldn’t select the head. Guess what happened next? Peck
If you haven't already figured it out, the bug with targeting body parts is your mouse cursor. Move it off screen and youre golden.
@@electro-nicrepairs4296 thanks! Thought I tried that but I could be wrong
You can cure blindness in Termina
@arme-ld2el Only by drawing a Sylvian circle right?
Babe wake up, new Frapollo video's just dropped.
It is a bad strat, there is a best strategy which is only using bloodlust
I really love Frapollo's enthusiasm when introducing another video on FEAR & HUNGEEERR!!!
Blindness is situational, but I still it pretty useful in those cases. I remember this time I played on terror and starvation mode with Enki, where I defeated a Elite Guard using it. My only party member was the Girl, but because I had locust swarm, I could use that myself on the Elite Guard, meaning the Girl threw a red veil at the head while he was stunned. This meant that I could take his limbs off without losing any of mine. I don’t remember if I also prevented getting any bones broken, but that’s pretty a minor status effect anyways.
Also, congrats on 100k!
I am happy it worked but it's also cause you got lucky, arms still had a 25% chance to hit you and locust swarm stun was already a win condition in there. But good job! And thanks!
2:31 Frapollo have restored the sight of 1000 funger players
Congrats on 100k Frapollo! I just know this is only the beginning of your channel. You are hugely entertaining and informative, great work!
This is super random but I think a compilation of frapollo screaming FEAR AND HUNGEERR would be awesome lol
Congrats on 100k subs!
Woo congratulations on 100k Frapollo. You deserve it with the humor and information you've shared lessening our suffering in funger it let me get to Le Garde (Alive) for the first time in a few hours and a dozen runs.
I love how many various versions of your intro clip for FnH + FnH T with the differing texts for names also BIG congratulations on 100k Frapollo :D
Congrats on 100k Frapollo! I always love listening to your passion and excitement for Funger. Keep up the great work!!
I beaten Crow mauler by just using a red vial and just dealing as much damage as I could. Crow mauler did try to use peak on the girl, who was in my party, but missed every single time. I laughed really hard from that
I have never heard of this channel or game in my life but the way you presented your arguments you've convinced me.
Nice!
Come back! The rabbit hole has so much to offer!!
Strategic dominace is my favorite thing to push the boundaries of.
Like your video on a run while bloodlust ragnavald
Ggs for the 100k Frapollo, you make some of the content i am most eager to watch
I’ve never been happier to see a recent upload on CZcams until this moment. Thanks for the content, papaollo94
congratulations on 100k love what you do!!! 👏👏👏
Hey Frapollo! First of all, congrats on 100k 🎉! Well-deserved! For your next video, maybe you could talk about fracture, if you haven’t already? It seems to be applied randomly by a bunch of enemies but also at different degrees of severity and it has almost no cure, it’s pretty unique imo. Have a good one!
In every new video, Frapollo goes deeper into the depths of Fear and Hunger and goes increasingly mad with the game.
That said, congrats on 100K! :) Keep going, good sir!
They added Blindness just to make a semi-obscure reference to Odin with the Crow Mauler which wasn't even listed under the wiki page trivia of the Crow Mauler.
Hmmm interesting, where did you hear that? Asking to know if it's true
i am currently playing Black souls 1 (because i saw it on your channel, so it has to be peak) and o boy was i surprised to hear your outro theme song in a funny rabbit fight :)
The Drawn Together intro song gets me every time! Great video as usual!
Grats on 100k ! Keep the good Content up.
Congrats on 100K you absolute Italian legend.
Frapollo's sunday upload is the only thing that saves me from the hangover of partying on Saturday
Of course blindness its the worst debuff imagine being in a dungeon full of monsters redy to kill ya but ops ya blind and cant do sh
Your mind will explode with this video I think
Congratulations on 100k subscribers!🎉
I always love the Termina and F&H1 intros, rhey aare so good
Congrats on getting 100k fratepollo!
In termina, i found blindness kinda useful for fighting crimson fathers, but only because it prevented them from hypnotizing one of my characters
Congratulations on hitting 100k subscribers! You easily deserve ten times that amount.
I love your style of narration and commentary which makes me wonder, is there any other games you enjoy other than fear and hunger (and termina) and do you plan to ever make content for those?
Thanks! At the current moment I'm working on another video essay for another game, but branching out completely is still not a project of the short time!
Just started watching this channel and Tomomo SE theme as your outro music caught me completely off guard.
Oh there will be more things to catch you off guard with time!
Crow mowler in dungeon night : *Pecks aggresively*
100,000, I'm proud to say I was part of the 100K when you reach 1 Mil!
Congrats for 100k Frap!!
Thanks!
congrats on 100k frapo
As an economics major, it was really cool to hear you talk about dominant strategy in game theory at the beginning of the video😅
Congrats on 100k
Expect something big next stream
Hey Frap
I suggest you to do "God-of -the-Depth-skills-only" challenge run. You have to choose Enki, your task is to kill the God of the Depths because almost everything that happened in the dungeons happened because of him. You have to fight fire with fire so you can only use needle worms, flock of crows and locust swarm skills and vials/darts/priest lamps/etc to deal damage; you can also use non god affinity supportive skils such as fast attack, devour, defence stance, counter-magic, steal, lockpicking, dash(ofc), en garde. In addition, you can make any endings (exept E ofc) or play in hard mode (but remember that in that case you cant recruit ghouls/skeletons and even summon the blood golem).
Love your content!
P.S. Sorry for grammatics, eng isnt my native
1. 100K yippie!!!
2. Blindness was a really good status effect to talk about in this scenario for sure. I think the next status to talk about is definitely the status effect confusion/stun. Even though the skip 2 turns effect is really good, there are very minimal ways to access it as a player and when it happens with an enemy it’s usually just… bad… or crazy so it’s super inconsistent in that way. Also you can talk about what I actually think deserves this video, infection.(I’ll explain this in my reply)
Infection is absolutely terrible in both games. Sure, I think that its current applications are interesting. When infected the infected character will die in seven loading screens, cool, okay! But is infection even that lethal at all?? ITS NOT. Quintessential items that you can obtain in the game just cure it immediately. The green herb but more so the Salmonsnake items. When you have a salmonsnake item, you completely forget about infection and this is much worse than the bleeding thing because I would actually care about bleeding. Seven entire loading screens to cure it for me makes it a status effect I never care about and it only exists to kill a new player that one time because they didn’t read the text on the bottom or it just kills you because bad luck, or if you got the guaranteed item then it doesn’t exist anymore??? Infection is just redundant and useless to be in the game at its current state
Look at that 100K beside your name 🎉 So happy for you ❤
Congrats for 100k subscribers
Congrats on 100k
Man's finally on 100k. Let's go
WOOHOO!!! 100K!!!
You did it!!!
Great video as always!!
Ive only just started playing fear and hunger and your the one who introduced it to me so thank you for this horrific buggy game fropollo
Thanks to you for your support!
frapollo94 oiled up 100k special
I love blinding an ancient god!
If only ancient gods actually cared about blindness...
@@frapollo94 But then again, locust swarm....
@@frapollo94 truly unfortunate
We know that the game was devised from "what if?" scenarios for what people would do in various situations. I think the Crow Mauler giving you permanent blindness is acceptable because he's an iconic enemy and is designed to be difficult for new players to beat (it's better to just run away!) Having him leave a permanent debuff that basically makes it impossible to truly escape from him really adds to the tension.
I understand why the Blindness2 thing works the way it does - it would probably be even more difficult to apply blindness and have it affect every bodypart immediately. Of course, it would be easy to wrap it into a function and just make it take immediate effect when anything gives blindness, so maybe that was just a thing he didn't know how to do at the time.
imagine isayah having some kind of hit in the eyes, he's tricky guy you know, this would've suit him well imo
as someone with visual impairment i am also deathly afraid of crows
At this point fear and hunger has totally broken Frapollo and I'm all here for it.
Gotta love how Frap goes into angery Italian mode when explaining 😁
If any of you have played darkest dungeon 2, you should know the enemies missing even a 25% is a myth.
Darkest dungeon is literally pokemon
I only killed Crow Mauler through sheer luck of him never beheading us or blinding us while I spammed black orb with my main and the little girl. 2 people with black orb is great by the way. Just great. I can't believe I got so lucky.
Thank you Frap for vid, now I know what to suggest to my friends when they play F&H
F&H wiki got trolled once again damn
These videos are always so interesting.
Situations like this always remind me of some of the more nice status effects in souls games. Take Death in elden ring for example, for us it's basically a gimmick (except for that one glitch) but Death inducing enemies are always worthy of concern.
Hey Frap! How about doing a video about the insects in Funger? I don't play the game but I always watch your videos, and I think that Insects/Taking with insects/God of the depths in general is not talked about that much (maybe because it isn't that strong of a perk?). Anyways, I get kinda curious about it since I only watch the videos
Frapollo should do a run where he only uses the useless items from his videos.
congrats on 100k
Meanwhile in Funger 2: Termina, applying blindness is one of the most overpowered strategies in the game.
-It still applies at the end of the turn, but enemies in Termina are less threatening individually (though far more numerous), and glass shards are available everywhere instead of just being random drops.
-There are also no more certain hit attacks in Termina (with like, 3 exceptions) so it effectively reduces the damage output of physical enemies by 75%.
-Limbs are stronger in Termina so they may not be taken out in a single hit, and healing is more common so players can afford to tank one turn of attacks.
That's honestly how I thought blindness worked in this game, since every limb has its own status effect. It was very confusing for a while, but you've explained it perfectly
Obamna will never get blinded
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS FRAPPOLO! LOVE FROM ROMANIA!
There's nothing more worthless than wasting a spare coin on a bookshelf and getting Scroll of Needle Worm
0:52 BEST PART OF THE WHOLE CHANNEL
Blind being usable on any body part. Miro was more than just drunk when he coded this. Lol
I love your enraged rant with this heavy accent. So iconic ✨
Thanks!
Usually the moonscorched form is more dangerous than the normal contestant. Not in Marina's case though. Marina can blind you. Cocoon can't.
Frapollo can you fear my hunger till i termina
Woah WHAT!!
1. get 1 red vial (just 1)
2. get ring of wraiths and equip it
3 enter a fight with jagedjaw
4 blind one dog
5 guard on second turn
6 blind the other dog
7 well not actually profit since this is easier with a stick
Wow...
Lets cut the crap, when a NO DASH RUN will occur
everybody gangsta until counter gets actually useful in a battle.
Counter is on my list...
Its time for a fear and hunger blind challenge, no one did yet
At least Blindness is much more worth it in Termina, also congrats on 100k, glad to be here :3c
A lot of people forget how broken and unfinished old games are. In Earthbound, there are several items and conditions that do not work correctly.
Interestingly, the Uncontrollable Crying condition (EB's version of Blindness) straight up does not affect enemies due to a bug. There is a spell in the game (PK Flash) where the primary purpose of it is to afflict the Crying condition.
Technically this game isn't old, it's from 2018
@frapollo94 Oh I meant more that FH as a modern JRPG is not unusual for having a few bugs here and there. Games have always released in a somewhat unfinished state due to the limitations placed on devs.
Given the little girl doesn't have anything better to do for 40% of a run there are worse things for her than to blind an enemy
I think you're forgetting the dagger on the literal first floor, the infinite stones in the mines, giving her scrolls for spells, all better stuff than relying on a RNG item that gives BLINDNESS
meanwhile in termina, blindness is absolutely busted, widely available via glass shards, and will be subjected to being nerfed/rebalanced in the next update.
I guess eyes are more important in the modern ages than medieval times
