  • This video has been a ton of fun to make, I've been wanting to make a "death highlight" video since I started playing the game but couldn't figure out a format I liked. JeremyHay on Twitch gave me this idea and it clicked immediately. I hope you enjoy the video, leave a comment below and let me know what you thought!

      Main issue with the moles is that they are unpredictable. Sure, a horned lizard can stun lock you, but they can be predicted. Moles say “fuck patterns, I’m gonna randomly pop out of a wall when you least expect it and knock you into spikes”

      ​@@bull1085 I don't suffer from moles that much,but they're annoying as hell.
      They deal so much unexpected damage,but i always can compensate it with theirs bodys to get Kapala(Sometimes,only with moles and pet,i can get it in 1-2 if i am lucky)
      Or just going straight for their death.

    Hey Xanagear! I honestly have been binging your videos recently as I have made it to the sunken city for the first time recently and have wanted to learn how to get there more consistently. How a lot of my runs work is that I rarely make it to the 3rd area, and when I do, I rarely die, but this doesn’t come without countless dwelling and volcano deaths. I was wondering if you had any tips for improving your consistency in these beginning areas. Sure the runs aren’t long and so you don’t lose much time, but they sure as hell are demoralizing and make me want to stop playing after a series of 10 deaths in the dwelling. Thanks!
