- A bit of a longer video as I ramble a touch here, but this should hopefully cover any questions on how I get my Skeletons to 90+ toughness in just 2 days (ingame time)
If you'd like to join the discord mentioned in the video, this is the link: / discord (link edited, thanks to Void in the comments) it's just a regular ol' discord, there's people in it and sometimes we all play games like fibbage and you'll know when I stream, that's about it.
Thank you so much for watching, I hope you all have wonderful days.
all kenshi player know that skeleton are the superior alpha chad race of the game and it's so easy to get an overpowered character quickly with this race
All it takes a one headshot from a eagles cross. No helmet , no armor
@@devetuncayy which is exactly why we're training toughness
@@devetuncayy toughness you fool 🤦♂️ and they’re great for martial arts too because martial arts also damages you if you have flesh since they’re made of metal they don’t have that kind of debuff
you can train toughness on non-skeletons by tying them to one of the fogmen posts and let them get eaten. Gotta have a friend who can sneak in and rescue them before they get killed though.
You can do this with Animals too! it rapidly trains them aswell since Animals can't ever actually have their limbs removed but you will need a runner who can grab them off the pole.
@@s0u7th13f Yep! The foglands is always one of my, if not the, first place I go to. Great stealth training, great toughness training, beep, etc.
Or you can become a Cyberchad with 4 masterwork robot limbs lol
@@LuizGustavo-ib6sb4 limbs=smol pp
You just put the skele limbs in your inventory and when you get eaten you just equip them and run away xD no friend needed
Actually skeletons can heal on the ground with no prior requirements as long as you right click them with the heal icon while they're still rebooting. They won't auto heal otherwise, but if you order them to heal themselves while still rebooting they will heal themselves while playing dead
Awesome Thumbnail, whoever made it needs a Big Pizza
Year old video but someone might still read the comments so whatever:
The most busted toughness exploit I've found is just going to the tower of abuse, sprinting past all the thralls (hiring a merc squad for 1 day will help) and diving onto one of the skeleton beds at the top. You'll get eternally smacked for as long as you're lying there, and despite the dialogue (and lore of the location) Ponk isn't actually interested in killing skeleton PCs and will just let them get thrown out once you're done. Not as fast as this fogman method but totally AFK, you can just go play the game with another character and come back to a skele with 70 toughness a day or two later - and totally free because the skeleton bed will repair perma-damage up until you leave.
Oh, and because you're constantly getting smacked with this method, and sleeping characters are considered unarmed, this also skyrockets your dodge to the 60s. Perfect if you want to make Tinfist Jr.
Wow nice thanks. I think I'm gonna do this then go to ashlands to steal meitsu weapons
Thank you so much broooooo
Good advice, though just wanted to say regarding the lore, it's not entirely clear that Ponk/Screamer the False just throwing you out instead of thralling skeleton PC's *isnt* lore friendly, because the only skeleton subtype that can be played in vanilla are the normal MK I body skeleton models, and the only skeletons that end up as thralls are the MK II skeletons, so, for whatever reason, MK I skeletons might not be able to be thralled. (Whether this is tied to the specific model of MK II model is unclear as they don't have heads to distinguish them. Though due to in game bins of screamer heads found in thrall heavy, its clear that screamer model MK II's can be thralled, though its likely that MK II-P4 models and Logheads can be thralled too albeit its technically not "guaranteed") That said, there are points of contention, for example, why (besides thralling) was Agnu was imprisoned considering that Agnu is a MK I model? Though I suppose there could be some other reason like some sort of ancient beef between the thrall masters and Agnu.
There a lot of conjecture on why this is, but one potential reason is that whilst the first empire made MK I skeletons (which are **significantly** more durable and likely more expensive/complex to manufacture) the 2nd empire is responsible for making MK II skeleton bodies. Almost the entirety of the second empire characters in kenshi (excluding a couple of leaders) are MK II model skeletons. Further theorization might imply that the MK II skeleton bodies were used as ways to 'resurrect' MK I skeletons that have "died" by placing their head (and therefore AI core) onto a new, less advanced, and less durable body with a more exposed AI core as a means to prevent the loss of skeleton life as much as possible (and considering there are *no* skeleton heads that exclusively appear on the MKII bodies, its not impossible).
Thank you for covering my favorite trick in the game! Also if you use full samurai armor and a large backpack along with low martial arts you will gain an insane amount of dodge.
I honestly should have covered that! thanks for commenting, that's good info to have for newer players as well, works with pretty much any armour that gives load of -dodge.
Thanks for making this. I started my first viable skeleton playthrough the other day (skeleton that rebooted as a pirate)
thank you man this will help a lot. I was trying to make a skellys only run and had no ideia where to train.
no problem! I've got probably over 1000 hours just playing with my Skeleton as a main so I'm pretty used to running around with the hunks of adorable metal haha
You don't need to keep a continuous move order to have your character let attacks through. Pressing r will reset your character's animation, so mashing r means he stands there and takes it like a giga chad.
This and get eaten alive in the fogmen pole who are fast as fck(and escape after ofc) are one of the best ways to train, just get beat down, get up, repeat. You actually can do the same with hungry bandits and dust bandits. After some lvl your character start healing while playing dead, get up, KO, heal etc. Even if you have the KO points below the necessary to not stay unconscious, with enough wounds healed, you not die and get up again with 1 health and can repeat the process until lvl 100
this is my favourite games 2 or 3 years ago when my device still capable playing it.
clear explanation, you sir deserve a sub
👍
Sneaky rick roll, well played.
wow I have to say with 2000+ hours in kenshi I never noticed why they keeled over again when I told my toons to get up now I know and the faact that small chance to get your dodge up higher like this is also very good, all i know is to get your defense up higherr a little bit quicker is try and get a weapon with negative in defense and wear a large backpack but you can organise that for later and I find the hungry bandits south part of skinners roam where there are mainly large groups of hungry bandits and the occasional bull packs is a goodish spot to level up your fleshy toons just need to try and get strong armour before doing that :P
You're super right, which is great because all these tutorials can be made so incredibly effective by dragging your bonuses into the negatives. there's also the neat trick of letting yourself have a missing arm, which actually raises the bonus for toughness XP received by a decent chunk, you can also equip prototype hive prosthetics for even lower skills and so on and so on! thank you for watching my stuff, it was really nice to read the kind comments!
Hope you continue to enjoy the Kenshi experience
@@s0u7th13f Haha thnx for the tip on missing a limb and getting into combat didn't know that one either XD
I suggest you get some rusted junk weapon and level up combat skills too, because experience gain for offense is calculated by the difference in the defense stat.
Foglands is great for creating a cyborg division.
I have a 10 man main combat squad that I leveled traditionally. Then I picked 10 guys to create uber soldiers. I put them on the poles of the fogmen and let their limbs get eaten. Toughness skyrocketed and was easier to level up to 90 because of xp multiplier cause of missing limbs.
Then I attached robotic arms and legs to the cyborgs and they have like stupidly great stats: over 90 dex, 90 toughness, over 90 heavy weapons and melee attack. Working on training STR now. That I cannot train by cheesing the game unfortunately.
I think training unarmored is worse than training with heavy armor because you can take more and larger hits before having to heal
This one is mostly dependant, taking larger hits levels you faster and gets you into the kocked down state faster (which is where you want to be) but taking smaller hits more often would lead you to no get to your KO point as easily meaning you don't have to enter "Recovery Coma" as early.
Purely preference here, as both methods have gotten me to 90's in about 2 days in game.
That was a creative rickroll lol
i just have been rick rolled from the faction and squad name... bruh
set it up for the long con hahaha
@@s0u7th13f hell yeah dude, i actually looked from surface your other videos and what a surprise I found one saying "stop reading faction names" honestly didn't see that coming
If you have a modded game play, the crossbow stuff tends to be very powerful.
Turn up damage multiplier to 2x and everything that is 70 base damage hits like a truck and KO a character if their limbs aren't more than 100hp, and in fights in the Shek kingdom, limbs go flying in one hit.
that literally applies to everything… i can make the wooden staff the best weapon in the game if i mod it
I kill Skeletons on sight - OKRAN wills it.
Heretical Hellspawns. Fun fact Okran is actually a Skeleton / Strobe !?
Kenshi is rly fked up - I always end up killing all Leaders for the sake of it, let's be real.
The true king of Kenshi is us, everyone else is just there as training material for us to use hehe
huh i used to go to fish man island and do same thing
Another great spot! takes a bit longer for me to walk too from the start though so I just waltz over to the foglands, plus, it has fog! Boy do I like fog.
Genesis mod nerfs standing up xp
Did I just get rick rolled by a faction/squad name?
(:
I have done this and it worked great but for some reason it just stopped working at level 86. I had to save and quit and it stopped working when I got back on
This can happen with pretty much any training that goes "quickly" I'm not sure why it happens, not sure when it fixes itself, and I'm not sure what causes it, but the best way I've figured out to "reset" the game so it start training again is either a quicksave/quickload, or a full import to reset the trainee and game.
It's happened to me countless times at this point, so I just quicksave all the time to be ready to quickload
I started with the 5 skeletons and 1 has a bounty of 20.000 (holy nation).... 1st encounter with bandits had 3 'dying'. So are badits so much different than fogmen?
Just started playing. Got another group fleshies who are quite advanced
How do you get lot of skeleton repair kit so early?
Good question, head to this video czcams.com/video/xUJpwLihNTE/video.html and skip to 8:40 (roughly) hope that sorts it out, you can do it at most places where guards don't pay attention
So i tried wearing armour to do this becuz thats wut i do for my fleshy humans (to keep them alive)
But my skeleton ends up getting beaten in the head so bad it just always goes into the "dying" status...
Maybe I shud really do it without armor on skeleton
I'm surprised even with armour that you got into dying, usually the blunt damage is so low that it shouldn't even be able to cut you to bleed out since you're a skeleton. Did you wait it out to see if he'd recover from the cuts? what armour? any mods for fogmen?
I'll always recommend no armour, just because I like to do it en masse and getting armour for everyone is a hassle, so I just let their beefy robo bodies take a beating hehehe.
@@s0u7th13f no armour turned out to work out really well on fogmen
Nice
Works like a charm. thx.
any tips for leveling strength? I can't go over 60...
Strength will always be the biggest pain, my laziest way is to turn squad size multiplier to max, as well as global pop to max and just grab the heaviest frag axe I can find while chilling in the foglands AFK overweight/carrying somebody.
Won't go quick like some training can, but it requires me to do nothing (obviously also set graphics low as hell, cause bodies will pile up)
Did you Rick roll me?
(:
Though I'm not thoroughly practiced in the matter, I think you can replicate this with some wild animals for humans.
One question: How do you get out?
Once you're done you just beat your way out, or you can sneak out after you get downed because you'll crawl sometimes.
How did you get all of those repair kits?
Skip to 8:37 in this other video of mine czcams.com/video/xUJpwLihNTE/video.html
or watch the whole thing, but the part you want is at 8:37. Enjoy your free repair kits (:
@@s0u7th13f Thank you, haven't watched that video yet, I figured it out myself, doing my first skeleton playthrough, just went to mongrel and robbed the mechanic there, tried to knock him out a bunch of times, until I was skilled enough then took what I needed.
@@SuperKILLINGMASTER Nice one! you're already a pro then, free stuff is good stuff in Kenshi.... usually ;)
God dang i this is what im looking for
Can I do this with multiple skeletons at once ?
It's slower since one of them getting up forces all of them to get up and the ones getting up in such a manner don't receive the massive XP boost from playing dead. I'd only recommend if you're doing it en masse, since you're better off just splitting up to multiple deathyards otherwise (let's say, if more than 4 or 5 yes)
@@s0u7th13f ok thanks for the tip
how did u get all this skeleton repair kit?
Check out the end of this other video of mine! I explain the method to some easy free repair kits there (: czcams.com/video/xUJpwLihNTE/video.html
@@s0u7th13f thx dude. I have watched this video but left it befor the bonus
Yo dex training when
Eyyy, Dex training here/weapons/strength/whatever you want it to be as long as it hits thing softly (or hard, I aint judging)
czcams.com/video/xUJpwLihNTE/video.html
@@s0u7th13f thanks just discovered your channel and im watching second video, I didnt get it from the title that this is dex training. My favourite way to train dex is to put tinfist on reapair bed and hit him with rusty katana. Also very clear tutorials keep up good work! Subbed right away
@@darthrevan9499 Thank you very much, I'll be making more for sure! just have to actually think about useful things to tell people haha.
@@s0u7th13f in such a big game there is much things to cover so seeing that those guides are so creativie i dont think you will run out of ideas for a while, and if you can just ask viewers what they want most
Yo' the discord link is down
I fix! thanks for letting me know Void!
Fixed, credited in description as well! much appreciated brother :D
@@s0u7th13f tnx to you, your guides are pure gold
@@duckspiguels8871 Thank you friend! always happy to help (:
What armour and weapons do you use for skeletons?
It always depends on the job they're doing, my personal favourite will always be the Longcoat with Samurai Cloth Pants for my MA Skeleton.
we need a streng tutorial
Strength sucks to do, sadly there's no way around that. There's a glitched spot in one of the cities in the desert, with a mining node outside.
If you're in the city, assign the job to mine, they'll run back and forth without mining, that's literally the best way I've found to get strength up, that or letting my guy carry an edge 3 frag axe into the foglands hahahah.
@@s0u7th13f another question:
dex builds or streng buildsare better?
Great job what about people?!
Here you go! czcams.com/video/9XObwrD7YI4/video.html
