At the start of this mission, Chugga was at 63 hours and 46 minutes. At the end of this mission, Chugga was at 88 hours and 43 minutes. That's 25 hours of doing nothing but this mission and over a 4th of his total playtime! Such dedication to the cause for only an hour long video. Much suffering was had.
I just.... I can't even. I hope Chugga did the prep work in advance and had this ready ages ago, because I feel like he needs some time off for the sake of his sanity.
@@BigKlingy But if he was completing this mission ever since he had Ursula then wouldn't that mean he spent 50 HOURS on getting her mission done . And he still got 25 hours added for this video ! So he either has the next 20 episodes done or he just grinded Ursula for 2 days straight ! Edit : I got to later in the video and he said himself that it took him 3 DAYS to record all of this !
I hope this was done in chunks over the days, otherwise it's a miserable time. This is not a thing you mindlessly repeat over and over for too many hours at a time. You _will_ inevitably get burned out...now that I think about it, there's a few things in this game that are like that. A round of tiger tiger takes about as long as ursala's missions (shortest possible time, around 2-3 minutes)
11:32 I imagine that lesson would have played out as: Wulfric: "Let's start with projecting your voice... repeat after me" Wulfric: *_H H R R A A A A A A A A A A A A A A H H H H_* Ursula: ₐ
I can't agree enough and my goodness when.i saw how long I said to myself omg he really want all out didn't he and now seen it he want beyond and got someone to sing as it just help make it even more lovely
Emile really did awaken his inner Dunban and went "Our hearts...and our minds...they still hold the will to change our destinies!" Thus proceeds to grind for over 24 hours
@@Rexaura888 lol, yeah I don't know whether he'll see it but I just posted saying something similar. I love Emile and his videos, they're brilliant, I can watch all day, but he *may* have accidentally offended everyone Welsh in the world at czcams.com/video/cI-lncemEQ0/video.html
I didn't even get Ursula until the post-game, by which point it becomes *very* inconvenient to do the Indol concert. Needless to say, I spent a lot of that time grinding up charts on my Rare Blades as well as the Commons that I could get Weaponry and Boosters out of by the end of it all.
If Ursula wasn't so precious, I wouldn't have bothered finishing her quest. Finishing Ursula's quest and then using her to fight superbosses felt satisfying. Even if she's not the best healer, she is fun to use. It's just maxing her chart isn't fun.
Those missions really are essential for grinding affinity charts, not sure I would have been able to finish the quest if there was no benefit to doing the merc missions.
Ideally you want to get Ursula as soon as possible and perform her Merc missions over your entire playthrough. Just be warned that by the the last couple chapters one Titan where Ursula's Merc Missions are situated will become inaccessible so be sure to keep tabs on the questline as you carry out the main story.
I feel this - when I played this game for the first time, my first thought was “this quest probably isn’t as bad as everyone makes it out to be.” Then I played it. And it wasn’t fun. I play a lot of RPG’s, and I can say that this is the single worst grind I’ve ever had to do in one.
@@legoferrari14 fairly sure all those merc mission transfer to Leftheria when that happens. Ursula was my last rare blade (not counting the Tornan blades) and I was able to do all of her merc missions from what I've seen on the wiki.
@@tagon2381 the only thing making this better than blue coins in Sunshine is that you can at least do other things while Ursula is doing her thing… unless you’ve done most of the quests by the time you get Ursula, in which case, uh oh.

Y'know this whole time I never realized that the song Ursula sings is the main theme to this game. Or if I did, I had forgotten it because I had repressed everything about this quest.
Oh right this was a collab. The fact that I believed that was the actual audio goes to show how little I remember from the actual story contents of this quest though.
@@GerardMenvussa I agree but emile made it as hard as possible for himself here. If he had waited to unlock indol and prioritized soul instead of looks he'd have cut at least 8 hours off. Plus the devs very clearly didn't expect people to do it in one sitting. Merc missions re meant to be used in the while you play thevrest of the game. Especially since some cut scenes are so long the switch darkens during them because of how long you've beem idol
43:54 Honestly, I think Ursula is named after Ursa Minor and Beary is representative of Ursa Major. Or it's flipped, because Ursula has the major role in the duo.
I absolutely agree that those 2 constellations have a hand in their design. From my knowledge, I believe that your first suggestion is the correct one, as Ursa Major is the Mother Bear Constellation, and Beary seems to always be protecting Ursula, like a Mother protects her cub. I could be absolutely wrong, but I’m pretty confident with my facts.
@@MSCDonkeyKong OMG, I never realized that!!! Wait, let me check what key Ursula’s song is in. Give me a minute. Edit: DANG IT! It’s in C minor. Well, she is supposed to be Ursa Minor, so that does check out. It’s just her, not Beary lol. Still, good catch!
Oh man, I’ve been waiting for this. So… on my first playthrough, I GOT URSULA AS MY LAST RARE BLADE. Yes, after the infamous Light Ether Cannon. (Karma for getting Zenobia 2nd, I guess) I’d heard horror stories about her quest but I didn’t expect it’d be too bad… Then I started it, was spending forever on merc missions, and looked it up and found out it takes around 16 hours of waiting time at minimum. And that’s with some optimizing. Recent optimizations have cut it down to... 13 hours. Bear in mind (durr hurr) that at this point, I’d done every other quest and beaten every superboss. There was NOTHING left for me to do while these Merc Missions were going. So going for 100% completion would be adding 16 hours of nothing to my playtime, so I noped out of it. And so, to this day, Bearing Her Soul is the only non-DLC quest I haven’t completed. So this’ll be a first for me. What you’re clearly supposed to do is get Ursula early and gradually work on these missions while doing the main story. The problem with that is you won’t get to use her much. The worst part is the pity group that has Ursula is glitched, so she's always a random Blade. Edit: Thank you Chugga for being dedicated enough to do the whole thing in one video, but I'm really worried for your sanity now. And thank you to Adri for giving us lyrics to her singing.
@Rexaura888 While that sounds good, I rarely find myself enjoying NG+ in big RPGs, so I don't know if I'll ever do that. I kind of want to start a new playthrough (on another profile) on Bringer of Chaos. (Unless that difficulty is NG+ exclusive)
@@BigKlingy BoC is available after the King Crustip fight as long as you have the Expansion Pass. It’s not NG+ exclusive. However, there’s 7 NG+ exclusive Blades (as well as the Hidden Affinity Charts. No Blade Quests for said Blades, but they do have H2Hs), so you’d be missing out on them.
I've said it before, but let me reiterate my respect for this channel and all that it's accomplished. The amount of time and effort that is put into these videos goes so far beyond the scope of most other youtube channels, much less letsplayers. When a new series is announced, it almost reminds me of the feeling I get from a new Smash announcement. I know I'll be getting high quality content, and learning new things about games I've never played before, as well as games I already love. So thank you very much for all that you do. As a community, It's safe to say we appreciate it.
I also really like how Emile has this balance. He's not stuffy and a hostile prick but he's also not a meme lord or disrespectful towards traditional art.
Emile's descent into madness throughout this video is an accurate representation of what it's like to get into and work in the performance industry. Well done!
Cards on the table: I didn't realize it was Adri filling in Ursula's singing and I tried to search for the song, and was confused at the lack of results X)
I thought Ursula was actually singing as well and I saw adri’s comment and I thought she was talking about some other thing until I found out Ursula was never singing and was just moving her mouth
45:00- I like to imagine after this point with giant shadows under his eyes, Chugga grabs hold of the Napon and is about to snap when Ursula begs Chugga to stop and tells Beary to hold him back.
Ursula is legitimately my favorite rare blade, she is precious and I love her as design and character. I also played through almost the entire game before finding this quest. I had Ursula since like chapter 4 or 5 and she was one of my first rare blades, guess I just never walked through Torigoth that often. Either way I had her on Rex all the way up to the final boss, and seeing Beary-go-round at the end of level 3 blade combos made it worth the pain of not unlocking her skills till the end game. If I had one complaint about her its that her default weapon design while creative, kinda looks a bit dumb. I think people would like Ursula a lot more if they thought of Ursula the character and Ursula as quest as two separate parts of the game. I makes me a bit sad to see how much some people dislike her just because of the quest that locks away her skills. *W e a r e , U r s u l a ' s n e w g r o o v e ! A n d w e ' l l d o w h a t w e c a n.*
Chugga, we all really appreciate your dedication to this let's play, an extremely well done let's play such as this is always a joy to watch. So thank you. But the accent you gave that Gormotti girl was truly atrocious, sorry but it had to be said.
Not me, but then again I did get her in new game plus. At the point where I could even do this side quest I was already doing other blade side quest while having the merc missions run I the background.
So a little trivia regarding Ursula is that her character designer is Risa Ebata: Known mostly for her designs for AKB0048 and Macross Frontier, both scifi stories involving idols as main heroines. Not sure how much leverage the designers had in the side plots for their characters, but part of me feels that this is the reason for Ursula's love and talent with music.
Adriana’s voice was absolutely arresting! ❤️ It fit so well I was couldn’t work out how Ursula’s song sounded so much more beautiful than it did during my play through.
As a musician myself, I resonate with that performance anxiety. It’s never been a huge issue for me personally, but I still feel that drop in the pit of my stomach with a big crowd. Also, her rendition of Where We Used to Be is wonderful. I’m glad I’ve never played the quest still though lol.
I also was a musician and the anxiety to me was never on the stage, it was behind the stage. I have had several instances where I just couldn't get up there and one time one had to quite litteraly push me onto it. Though usually when I was on stage and began the performance. The thing I had been practicing for dozens and hundreds of hours it just happened. It usually also was the best I did ever cause all the people were watching. I had to give it my all so I did. I never choked on stage cause on stage it's easy to know what to do cause you practiced it and you really don't have anywhere to go. It's when you have to go on the stage, when running away is theoratically possible and when you can make up doom scenario's in your mind cause it is still to come.
Some comments: Will he ever make story progress and get the final party member? Chugga: Yes but first we have to go through a full months worth of side quests
@@iantaakalla8180 no kidding, especially since all those quests could have helped unlock Pandora's chart. That's why I wait until getting Zeke to do them.
Well if its the way I go, at least she's honestly one the best Blades design and personality wise. She simple but effective and absolutely precious. Also I just beat this quest myself earlier today so I know what Emile is feeling.
Fun fact: if Ursula's singing sounded familiar, it should! That's the recurring Elysium leitmotif-it also showed up when we first met Pyra, and in various other cutscenes. The OST songs that have them are Elysium in the Dream and Elysium in the Blue Sky. It's a really lovely tune that we also hear in the main theme in the game-I really recommend giving it a listen!
Honestly, I would think Wulfric would have a really good deep singing voice, so I mean, it's possible that he could've been pretty helpful in helping Ursula sing.
@@reyntime8735 I was thinking that as well! Just imagine an awesome alien-looking giant like him, getting throat singing lessons by The Hu. would be awesome!
@@phantomstorm359 That'd make me imagine stuff like Wulfric as a member o a quarbershop bartet-- i mean barbershop quartet, or wearing a suit and being a jazz singer. Or simply playing piano and singing sensitive, lovely songs, perhaps with another blade playing a different instrument. I wonder how good Perceval would be on the cello...
An hour and 4 minutes of watching Emile suffer? This, I'm ready for! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Chuggaa said on his Twitter that he recorded 10 hours for just one episode, and it's safe to say that it's this one given the hour long length.
This was a great video showing this crazy side quest. Thank you so much for putting the effort that you do into videos. Also shoutout to Adriana for the amazing vocals on the song.
I used to smuggle my Switch into work so I could play the game during my shift. During a busy time I'd start these merc missions when I had a minute or two to spare so I could get through them faster. I ended up getting near max on all of them before I went back to Argentum the second time because of this.
Lemme just say, I love how Wulfric is a good blade to use for a lot of the merc missions. I feel it helps to show a sort of kinship between these two kind-hearted blades
"Today, we die." Is an accurate description of the events that will unfold here today. Also you madman Chugga, you absolute madman. Ursula is such a sweet character, but she is soured by this side quest in particular. I still don't think its the worst blade sidequest, but thats a personal opinion. Also setting aside 11 hours for this sounds like it might work, but I think it took at least three days for me to complete it, but I wasn't focusing solely on it. Also, I currently don't recall if I needed to, but I got all three stamps to max amount, 99... at least I think that was the max.
@@darkraiking680 okay I can see why u don't like her quest. Me though. I thought it was hilarious especially with how Mythra really gets embarrassed by the end. Also how they kind of insult poor Praxis.

Uuuuuuhhhhh... close but no cigar their man. (Thanks for the Time Stamp!)
Miror B would more likely say "Hey Siri! Let the music spin!"
Siri: "Playing 'Let the music spin' on Miror B.'s hip new groove play list!"
Miror B.: Yeah Baby!
Me: Do the disco... man...
Was going to say, "Wait, there were lyrics during the song, so how would there not be official ones?" Adriana's singing was that perfect of a fit.
Until I played the game myself, I didn’t know Emile had gotten her and I was disappointed when I didn’t hear it in my run
Y'know this whole time I never realized that the song Ursula sings is the main theme to this game. Or if I did, I had forgotten it because I had repressed everything about this quest.
Well she doesn't actually sing in game
Oh right this was a collab.
The fact that I believed that was the actual audio goes to show how little I remember from the actual story contents of this quest though.
Her and Rex DO team up in a post-battle dialogue and sing Engage the Enemy.
@@GerardMenvussa I agree but emile made it as hard as possible for himself here. If he had waited to unlock indol and prioritized soul instead of looks he'd have cut at least 8 hours off. Plus the devs very clearly didn't expect people to do it in one sitting. Merc missions re meant to be used in the while you play thevrest of the game. Especially since some cut scenes are so long the switch darkens during them because of how long you've beem idol
She doesn't _sing_ but it's still the main theme of the game.
Ursula: Beautiful singing
Siri: Plays rap music
I mean I practically do the same
This is dj beary, i m a burry you in berries.
And I love that gormotti girl's voice!
Her accent is beautiful.
43:54
Honestly, I think Ursula is named after Ursa Minor and Beary is representative of Ursa Major. Or it's flipped, because Ursula has the major role in the duo.
I absolutely agree that those 2 constellations have a hand in their design.
From my knowledge, I believe that your first suggestion is the correct one, as Ursa Major is the Mother Bear Constellation, and Beary seems to always be protecting Ursula, like a Mother protects her cub. I could be absolutely wrong, but I’m pretty confident with my facts.
URSA MAJOR
ITS A MUSIC PUN
AAAAAA I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS RIGHT NOW
@@MSCDonkeyKong OMG, I never realized that!!! Wait, let me check what key Ursula’s song is in. Give me a minute.
Edit: DANG IT! It’s in C minor. Well, she is supposed to be Ursa Minor, so that does check out. It’s just her, not Beary lol. Still, good catch!
Oh man, I’ve been waiting for this. So… on my first playthrough, I GOT URSULA AS MY LAST RARE BLADE. Yes, after the infamous Light Ether Cannon. (Karma for getting Zenobia 2nd, I guess) I’d heard horror stories about her quest but I didn’t expect it’d be too bad…
Then I started it, was spending forever on merc missions, and looked it up and found out it takes around 16 hours of waiting time at minimum. And that’s with some optimizing. Recent optimizations have cut it down to... 13 hours.
Bear in mind (durr hurr) that at this point, I’d done every other quest and beaten every superboss. There was NOTHING left for me to do while these Merc Missions were going. So going for 100% completion would be adding 16 hours of nothing to my playtime, so I noped out of it.
And so, to this day, Bearing Her Soul is the only non-DLC quest I haven’t completed. So this’ll be a first for me.
What you’re clearly supposed to do is get Ursula early and gradually work on these missions while doing the main story. The problem with that is you won’t get to use her much. The worst part is the pity group that has Ursula is glitched, so she's always a random Blade.
Edit: Thank you Chugga for being dedicated enough to do the whole thing in one video, but I'm really worried for your sanity now. And thank you to Adri for giving us lyrics to her singing.
If you ever get around to NG+, you can do it as soon as Chapter 4 starts (or rather once the Merc Group’s unlocked), so you’ll have your chance then.
I really hope that if this game gets a port on Nintendo's next console they fix the pity group ( and of course the tutorials )
@@Rexaura888 they'll have to start from the beginning. Those stamps don't carry over
@Rexaura888 While that sounds good, I rarely find myself enjoying NG+ in big RPGs, so I don't know if I'll ever do that. I kind of want to start a new playthrough (on another profile) on Bringer of Chaos. (Unless that difficulty is NG+ exclusive)
@@BigKlingy BoC is available after the King Crustip fight as long as you have the Expansion Pass. It’s not NG+ exclusive. However, there’s 7 NG+ exclusive Blades (as well as the Hidden Affinity Charts. No Blade Quests for said Blades, but they do have H2Hs), so you’d be missing out on them.
See the crazy thing I realized is that this quest line probably took him more effort/editing than some of his own LP's.
It probably took longer to record than the entirety of Super Mario Land.
...all two episodes of it, including bonus video.
_Hey, Dave, I got a question for ya'. Do you remember Super Mario Land?_

It happened. This quest broke Emile.
I've said it before, but let me reiterate my respect for this channel and all that it's accomplished. The amount of time and effort that is put into these videos goes so far beyond the scope of most other youtube channels, much less letsplayers. When a new series is announced, it almost reminds me of the feeling I get from a new Smash announcement. I know I'll be getting high quality content, and learning new things about games I've never played before, as well as games I already love. So thank you very much for all that you do. As a community, It's safe to say we appreciate it.
That's why I watch these let's plays, they're informative and fun. The effort Emile puts into a series really shows the love for these games
I also really like how Emile has this balance. He's not stuffy and a hostile prick but he's also not a meme lord or disrespectful towards traditional art.

Emile's descent into madness throughout this video is an accurate representation of what it's like to get into and work in the performance industry. Well done!
alternate video title: watch a man get progressively more insane over the course of an hour
Cards on the table: I didn't realize it was Adri filling in Ursula's singing and I tried to search for the song, and was confused at the lack of results X)
I thought Ursula was actually singing as well and I saw adri’s comment and I thought she was talking about some other thing until I found out Ursula was never singing and was just moving her mouth
Same here I didnt realize it was Adri singing till Chugga thanked her at the end, and I was a very nice surprise.
Same here
34:21 Emile's Lost Innocence: Nia Edition
This is a bloody saga of lost innocence isn’t it
29:48 I would kill to protect that smile.
45:00- I like to imagine after this point with giant shadows under his eyes, Chugga grabs hold of the Napon and is about to snap when Ursula begs Chugga to stop and tells Beary to hold him back.
Chugga's Welsh-Swedish hybrid accent is truly the stuff of nightmares
Yup as much of a nightmare as this quest itself.
Good
TORIGONDA!
Party: “Look at all these people!”
Me: “Congrats, y’all have won 1st place in the Definitely Not Helping awards!”
"Man, it sure would be stressful to perform in front of all these people"
i didn't even realize that was adrisurus singing ursula's parts. i thought that was just part of the game.
You know this quest was painful when Chugga said "Thank you for making this journey with me"(1:02:21), even though the series is far from over.
Ursula is legitimately my favorite rare blade, she is precious and I love her as design and character. I also played through almost the entire game before finding this quest. I had Ursula since like chapter 4 or 5 and she was one of my first rare blades, guess I just never walked through Torigoth that often. Either way I had her on Rex all the way up to the final boss, and seeing Beary-go-round at the end of level 3 blade combos made it worth the pain of not unlocking her skills till the end game. If I had one complaint about her its that her default weapon design while creative, kinda looks a bit dumb.
I think people would like Ursula a lot more if they thought of Ursula the character and Ursula as quest as two separate parts of the game. I makes me a bit sad to see how much some people dislike her just because of the quest that locks away her skills.

3:32 Hearing Adri sing in this episode just made my day. She has such a heavenly singing voice!
Who’s adri?
@@jackzhang8677 adriana figueroa, emile's singer friend who was on the runaway guys colosseum charity on the collab channel
Sucks how they couldn’t get ursula’s actual VA to sing for this quest
That Torigonda girl impression got me thinking they're after his lucky charms
The clean version of Ursula's song at the end is highly appreciated!
Remember when this was supposed to take 11 hours...
>Me walking into the comments section knowing it's gonna be Ursula's goddamn quest
>Me seeing an hour-long episode
Welp. Here comes the Pain.
Do do do do...
Here comes the pain.
@@soronexle2681, dang, you beat me to it.
Maxing out Ursula is like walking through a molasses-filled minefield to get one of the world's best cinnamon rolls.
Chugga, we all really appreciate your dedication to this let's play, an extremely well done let's play such as this is always a joy to watch. So thank you. But the accent you gave that Gormotti girl was truly atrocious, sorry but it had to be said.
You joke about wulfric singing but little did you know he prob has like the best singing voice then the whole group
Uh oh, the quest that undoubtedly broke everyone who wanted to complete Ursula affinity chart
Not me, but then again I did get her in new game plus. At the point where I could even do this side quest I was already doing other blade side quest while having the merc missions run I the background.
Chugga trying out a Welsh accent gives me life, especially when it turns into the Hypello's accent from FFX.
“I wanna Pop my love source on nia” - Chugga conroy 2020 my gosh Emile 🤦 chuggas Lost innocence part five : bonus chapter
So a little trivia regarding Ursula is that her character designer is Risa Ebata: Known mostly for her designs for AKB0048 and Macross Frontier, both scifi stories involving idols as main heroines. Not sure how much leverage the designers had in the side plots for their characters, but part of me feels that this is the reason for Ursula's love and talent with music.
If Wulfric sang he'd scare the finish death metal growlers, and finish metal is spooky
@Julia Sidel why is that a cute image
Adriana’s voice was absolutely arresting! ❤️ It fit so well I was couldn’t work out how Ursula’s song sounded so much more beautiful than it did during my play through.
As a musician myself, I resonate with that performance anxiety. It’s never been a huge issue for me personally, but I still feel that drop in the pit of my stomach with a big crowd. Also, her rendition of Where We Used to Be is wonderful.
I’m glad I’ve never played the quest still though lol.
I also was a musician and the anxiety to me was never on the stage, it was behind the stage. I have had several instances where I just couldn't get up there and one time one had to quite litteraly push me onto it. Though usually when I was on stage and began the performance. The thing I had been practicing for dozens and hundreds of hours it just happened. It usually also was the best I did ever cause all the people were watching. I had to give it my all so I did.
I never choked on stage cause on stage it's easy to know what to do cause you practiced it and you really don't have anywhere to go. It's when you have to go on the stage, when running away is theoratically possible and when you can make up doom scenario's in your mind cause it is still to come.
Some comments: Will he ever make story progress and get the final party member?
Chugga: Yes but first we have to go through a full months worth of side quests
Wow. Zeke is really unlucky considering you can effectively lock him out for a year if you complete all the Blades stories like Ursula.
Emile did that with Xenoblade Chronicles 1, so I am no doubt that he complete so many side quests before to do the main story.
@@iantaakalla8180 no kidding, especially since all those quests could have helped unlock Pandora's chart. That's why I wait until getting Zeke to do them.
@@PADRII so in short: don't do the Blade side quests until after getting Zeke?
You're telling me there isnt just 4 party members D:
PS I've played the game just memeing incase r/whooosh people come in
Today is the day we die. Time waits for no one. Ursula waits for no one. She will always come for you whether you like it or not. It's inevitable.
We are Ursula's New Groove, and we'll do what we can!
Ursula 🤝 Thanos
Is inevitable
Well if its the way I go, at least she's honestly one the best Blades design and personality wise. She simple but effective and absolutely precious. Also I just beat this quest myself earlier today so I know what Emile is feeling.
Memento Mori. Unus Annus.
Fun fact: if Ursula's singing sounded familiar, it should! That's the recurring Elysium leitmotif-it also showed up when we first met Pyra, and in various other cutscenes. The OST songs that have them are Elysium in the Dream and Elysium in the Blue Sky. It's a really lovely tune that we also hear in the main theme in the game-I really recommend giving it a listen!
57:47
Monolithsoft, why the ever living hell did you not have them hug!? That would’ve been the best ending to any quest to this point!
When he said seri stop the music the seri on my iPad said “there’s nothing playing” and I’m officially freaked out lmao.
Honestly, I would think Wulfric would have a really good deep singing voice, so I mean, it's possible that he could've been pretty helpful in helping Ursula sing.
*mongolian throat singing intensifies*
@@reyntime8735 I was thinking that as well! Just imagine an awesome alien-looking giant like him, getting throat singing lessons by The Hu. would be awesome!
I actually like to imagine Wulfric having a very smooth singing voice, probably to contrast with his design.
I mean, look at his chest. Boy's probably got some killer lungs on 'im
@@phantomstorm359 That'd make me imagine stuff like Wulfric as a member o a quarbershop bartet-- i mean barbershop quartet, or wearing a suit and being a jazz singer.
Or simply playing piano and singing sensitive, lovely songs, perhaps with another blade playing a different instrument.
I wonder how good Perceval would be on the cello...
When it comes to idols, the Japanese and the Nopon adhere to Rule of Acquisition #63: Work is the best therapy -- at least for your employees.
26:03 You know, I'm starting to think Tora's wideness is not simply a product of being a Nopon...
I'll see you all in an hour. Good luck pilgrims.
Doing this quest in-game:
"I'll see you in 13 hours, with maximum optimization."
HOOOOOOOOLY
See you in 35 minutes
30 minutes in and it's worth it
Holy shit that was a ride
I can feel his sanity slowly slipping away...
Fun fact : this video is longer than his entire 43rd LP, bonus video included!
"But I don't want to hurt anyone"
"Well that's too bad kid cause you're gonna hurt everybody"
“Voice of an angle” indeed
I Really loved Adrianas singing, well done!!
"Kiara! I liked you in The Lion King 1 1/2!"
Um.... I think you mean The Lion King 2, sir.
Don't worry, he corrected himself later in the video.
@@toavaxxok I saw that. XD
This whole video was great! Thanks for putting in such hard work!!!
32:20 Chuggaa’s shouting made his eye realize how much more looking at screens it had to do
An hour and 4 minutes of watching Emile suffer? This, I'm ready for! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Chuggaa said on his Twitter that he recorded 10 hours for just one episode, and it's safe to say that it's this one given the hour long length.
I noticed there was a pause in uploads a while back that lasted a month.
... D-did Ursula's mission cause this?
No, it was a combination of videos in the backlog running out, and his mom being in the hospital.
@@far6094 hope everything's alright on his end
@@carlogamer6304 That was a while back.
...either that or co-vid
Praetor Amalthus probably got tickets for Ursula's concert in Indol, but because we don't have access to it, he has to miss it
This was a great video showing this crazy side quest. Thank you so much for putting the effort that you do into videos. Also shoutout to Adriana for the amazing vocals on the song.
PRAISE *CHUGGAACONROY* FOR BEING THE GLUE THAT HOLDS THIS SOCIETY TOGETHER!
I used to smuggle my Switch into work so I could play the game during my shift. During a busy time I'd start these merc missions when I had a minute or two to spare so I could get through them faster. I ended up getting near max on all of them before I went back to Argentum the second time because of this.
"no i'm not crying, the noise is triggering my glands" 32:19
Lemme just say, I love how Wulfric is a good blade to use for a lot of the merc missions. I feel it helps to show a sort of kinship between these two kind-hearted blades
Ursula is playing an instrument she's just as adorable as when shes summoned!! !!
"Today, we die." Is an accurate description of the events that will unfold here today. Also you madman Chugga, you absolute madman. Ursula is such a sweet character, but she is soured by this side quest in particular. I still don't think its the worst blade sidequest, but thats a personal opinion. Also setting aside 11 hours for this sounds like it might work, but I think it took at least three days for me to complete it, but I wasn't focusing solely on it. Also, I currently don't recall if I needed to, but I got all three stamps to max amount, 99... at least I think that was the max.
The problem is probably the jump from a few hundred to world record
Wait who is your least favourite blade quest? The only one I kind of felt a bit annoying but not by much way the Popi quest.
@@joshchiang5995 Kora’s... it’s a combination of me not really liking Kora all that much to begin with and her sidequest being kind of meh for me.
@@darkraiking680 okay I can see why u don't like her quest. Me though. I thought it was hilarious especially with how Mythra really gets embarrassed by the end. Also how they kind of insult poor Praxis.
Joycon battery notice is quickly replacing the wiimote battery notice. I miss the days of constant reminders to chugga that his batteries are dying.
Adria singing at the end brought me to tears, that level of fidelity should be acknowledged more
