I just love the relationship between Antea and Red. I really appreciate the chemistry they have with each other, and how even though Antea is dead, things feel practically the same as in the beginning when she was alive. Also their banter is pretty fun, it reminds me a bit of Chili and Bandit from Bluey.

Every time the glowing crow showed up, I kept thinking of Odin's ravens from God of War. 😄

“You’re young.” “You’re dead.” Gets me every time xD

Gab: Maybe get a drink. Maybe make a coffee. Oh yeah, Maybe I'll make a decaf. Me: You know what, that does sound quite delightful. I think I'll pause for a minute and make a decaf coffee myself. Good thinking, Gab.

Stalagmite = you MIGHT trip on them (because they're on the ground) Stalactite = hold on TIGHT (hanging from the ceiling) That's how I've always remembered lol

Me too! Though for stalagmite, it was that they someday MIGHT be tall enough to reach the ceiling 😅

For the Scepter and the Scourge Summoning and the Void enemies they have weaknesses that are shown at the top right of the screen. Also, if there is a green enemy, they buff the other enemies to where your attacks dont do much. Just thought this will help you because it definitely did for me, happy banishing!

Yea just made a similar comment. The game doesn't make those things super obvious imo.

1:17:51 OMG I was right! I commented under the last video how the witch-trials of Salem were two years prior in the game and how a witch-trial would be the explanation of how the whole town could have wronged her! Now I feel pretty clever😊

Im SO glad that you banished syphilis dude! Penicillin wasn't invented until 1928, so yea, they were a FEW years away from finding a cure for syphilis.

​@@thefaceofchlo5390I think he didn't know tho. He was terminally dumb, ignorant and egotistical. I think he didn't know the weight of his deeds. Which still makes him a bad person but not an evil one imo

Syphilis is a bacterial infection so it wasn't treatable until the 1900s. Mercury was used as a treatment for syphilis up until the early 1900s. Mercury is technically an antibiotic. If taken early enough in the disease it's actually possible to fight the illness while only suffering mild poisoning. Dying of Mercury poisoning was actually fairly common in later stages. He was kinda screwed, with the best doctors he'd still likely have died of Mercury poisoning. Late stage syphilis can effect the brain and cause madness, but so does chronic mercury poisoning. Just look up mad hatter disease. So while you might say he was knowing infecting others, he also wouldn't be charged because he wasn't in his right mind.

Seeker is genuinely my favorite character, she's so tough. ETA: THE WITCHES ARE SO FREAKING COOL IN THIS GAME SO UNIQUE I LOVE THEM

Syphilis wasn't cured till 1943 by penicillin. He definitely would not have married my sister.

I love how *wet* Red looks in the rain, even down to cold pink ears and nose lol

PIECES OF EIGHT, Spanish silver coins of eight reals (eight bits), first authorized in 1497. Also known as pesos and Spanish dollars, they were minted in enormous quantities and soon became recognized as a reliable medium of exchange in the European colonies of North America. Subsidiary coins-four reals (half dollar, four bits) and two reals (quarter dollar, two bits)-were also minted. In 1728, Spain began coinage of the milled dollar to replace the piece of eight. The Coinage Act of 1792 made the dollar the new nation's official currency and fixed it at approximately the same weight of silver as the Spanish peso. 😸

Thank you! 😄

I think you made the right choice with Gauffrey. His attitude was clearly one of a man who slept around and didn't care that he was essentially murdering other people. In some cases, intervention must be taken to prevent someone from infecting others through their ignorance or refusal to admit the problem. Typhoid Mary was that way. She was a carrier and refused to believe it. She continued taking jobs where she dealt with families and the prep of their food. She killed SO many families before she was finally arrested and sentenced to live in total isolation on an island, because she refused to admit she was a carrier of such a deadly disease and take the appropriate precautions. The doctor was protecting every other woman in the village, and preventing an outbreak of a (at the time) deadly, horrific disease. The man was dying anyway. She just helped him along a little faster to keep him from infecting and killing who knows how many others.

Small detail, but I love that when the ghosts talk (including / especially Antea) there's an underlaying whisper of the words. Just really neat to me.

Btw, I think Antea's damage is really low in that void breach challenge, because the buff is relating to the rifle, soo you need to adapt your playstyle depending on the buff. Other types of damage don't work as well. Additionally, the fight on the beach with the rage, the rifle did crazy damage at the start because the buff was 'more damage when Red is at full health'. Buffs are shown on the right middle side of the screen, in case you miss them :))

The way I cheered when this episode showed up!!!!!! This is my favorite game I've seen or played in a while. I love the long episodes so much.

Yay,more Banishers! Gosh, this game is just so gorgeous and that view change at 1:20 really shows that the devs utilised the living world/ghost world thing well. So cool. 😍 Now to watch more than two minutes and find out what more the story holds. 😉

A lot of the summoned enemy encounters have modifiers shown in the top right of the screen. Those battles are balanced around you using those. For example, in the void gauntlet there was a "more rifle and ensnare damage" mod which is why your rifle was doing crazy damage but everything else was next to useless.

During challenges, there's vital information on the right side of the screen. It comes very handy, hence the noticeable damage difference at 2:26:40, as Red lost some health.

Anyone else thinks Red looks like Arthur Morgan???

Antea: "You're young" Seeker: "You're dead"💀 Damn, she really is a Witch 😂😂 God, every time Gab, you open the menu and show up map: 10% makes me giggles of joy, so awesome and cool this game is 🎉❤

Absolutely love this playthrough! The visuals in the game are breathtaking 😊. As far as the good doctor questline, penicillin wasn’t invented until the 1920's iirc... so syphilis was incurable at that time frame. The ghost was definitely reckless with his illness, and I agree with the doctor's actions.

I’m getting this game simply cuz of Red and Antena. Like they r the cutest couple ever and the love they have for each is so strong and relatable. 😊❤

How I remember Stalactites/Stalagmites: Stalactites- you'd have to hold on TIGHT if you were hanging from them Stalagmites- MIGHT reach up to the ceiling one day There's your one piece of useless info ,for the day, lol

That's a good way to remember as well. The way I learned it was "stalactites with a T hang from the Top of the cave". (Or alternatively; "stalactites with a T are the ones that hang down like titties" which was of course the more funny and memorable one for my class as we were all around 13 years old. 😂)

This game is awesome. And I love that morale choices you have to take here are never black and white. Can't wait for another episode

"Oh what is it?" *loot dead body* "Leather? That's it?" Gabs, you just took his skin.

Thank you so much for posting your playthrough of this game! Really loving it so far, can't wait to see what the next part of the plot brings!

for a witchy horror book, I would recommend Slewfoot by Brom. It's a folk horror with witchy vibes set in the puritan colonies of the 1600s, so much like this game! It's also got stunning illustrations throughout

God, i love this game so bloody much! Thank you, Gab, for playing it 🤍

I like how the witches love to joke and tease Red...They know how unsettling he feels about them, hahaha😆 I'm also impressed to see so many Greek references in the game, must've been one of the inspiration for it, cool

Finally home from an impromptu hospital visit and I’m finally circling back to this episode! I was so excited to find it!! ❤ Thank you Gab! You got me through a rough 24hrs of tests.

1:22:25 Siridean definitely has something to do with the nornir/moirai/parcae. I mean, she talks about time in all tenses, she's immensely powerful AND she has and uses a spinning wheel to 'make essence'? Plus, the mask(?) on the back of her head looks exactly like some old illustrations of the nornir I once saw!

Yay! I love watching you play this. Even the side-quests are so interesting and has good story telling

Small tip for eye drops, you don't have to press it until it drops, just press it enough so the drop hangs slightly from the tube and then just lower it on your eyes, allot easier this way, have had dry eye problems for a while and kinda figured this out along the way

'He doin big jumpyyyy' made me laugh more than it should have hahaha

Yaaasss!!! I'm so happy to see you play more Banishers! I've enjoyed playing the game so far. I chose to resurrect Antea route putting blame on all the people, so It's really interesting to watch your playthrough to see the different outcomes on the ghost cases as well as just dialogue selections that are different from mine. The story is fascinating and I can't wait for more to unravel.

Pieces of eight are the Spanish Dollar, they're made of silver. Apparently the value of the USD $1 was based off of the Spanish Dollar weight in silver. They're "pieces of eight" b/c eight of them make up a Spanish reale. you can't physically break them apart to make change lol, it's like money today, smaller coins add up to make larger bills, etc.

I was late to this one - had to watch in shifts but I really enjoyed it! The combat seemed really difficult with this one, good job persevering! Can’t wait to see what happens next 😊 Keep up the good work x

There's a couple things I could mention that may help the combat grind. In the nest arenas there will be be variables listed on the right that will tell you which damage type does more damage, etc. More gun damage, more banish damage etc And with the shielded enemies they are receiving the shield from the glowy green armless guys who kind of stand away in the back. Taking them out first is best. Just a couple of things that the game doesn't make super obvious. Maybe you already know this idk.. I do wish there was a bit more enemy variation but between the 2 playable characters, the upgrades and the different attacks you really have to mix it up yourself to keep things feeling fresh. Idk I'm still enjoying this game and this playthrough has been great so far:) Also the void areas are great for leveling. They give +3 to all attributes and you get some nice loot after you travel back via treasure chests

Tip: Pay attention to battle modifier during encounters. You were saying that the gun was super strong while you were in the void area. The right side of the screen was telling you that the Gun had enhanced damage. That was why the sword and punch attacks were doing next to nothing to the ghosts. I bet you'd clear the void easy if you focus on using only the gun.

I enjoyed the 2nd floor campfire built right on the wood floor. Awesome. No notes.

Some one says BOOKREC and im here!!! 1. "The ocean at the end og the lane" Neal Gaiman 2. "an unkindness of magicians" Kat Howard

I don't know if you've heard about it yet or not, but I feel like Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator would be a game you'd absolutely love!

The witches are so cool, especially Siridean! Seeker is awesome too, so snarky haha.

"I will drink from your skull" One of my favorite insults. The visuals tickle my brain.

Shout out to the Grumps reference lol "And I fired, and I missed"

I hope you finish this finish this game through I love watching it I sadly can't get it myself yet but I plan to eventually

it's not so much a "witchy" book, but "the queen of swords" by r.s. belcher is a pretty entertaining book set in the 1700s with ancient societies, treasure, and elder gods. under "different but similar" is "boneshaker" by cherie priest; a zombie tale set in 1800s seattle, WA, usa. might be up your alley, gab.

I am so invested in this playthrough! Love it!

Hey, did anyone else notice that when they got on the boat to Siridian's island, Antea had a reflection when she looked into the water? Hmmm...🤔

"She has no trouble stepping foot on it?" Yeah, it is weird that the beacons and beacons have an impact on Au Saul's army but Antea is fine. I would assume her energy would be fading, she gets a penalty in combat, she gets tired or hungry more often than not, or maybe she just "hits a wall" where Red can pass but she cant.

When are we gonna get part 5? 😊

I love the gameplay. The music is amazing (if sometimes a bit loud) and it looks so pretty! I'm really glad you're playing this ^_^

I love this series. The characters, story, and. environment are just amazing. I really hope she finishes this series even though it’s a long one! My backlog of games is huge but I totally want to get this game eventually and try the Resurrection route!! But I’m glad she’s doing the Ascent first, it seems like the most natural way to play the game (for the first try, at least).

Loving this series so far! That music reminds me of Twilight Princess for some reason. Can’t remember where exactly. So good 😊

Thank you for continuing this series. I'm enjoying it a lot

I'm flying to Japan tomorrow (yay holiday!!) and I was hoping SO BADLY you'd upload today because I'm genuinely loving this series!

Hi gabby, love the series, i haven't play the game yet, but here some TIPS: When you do challange like void or elite scourge you can look at the top right side of the screen, there will be some specific buff that given when doing the challange. Hope this help.

I just love this game. Hope you’ll make a full play trough ❤

Thank you Gab for the 3 hours video, we really appreciate it and are loving the game ❤️🙏🏻

2:04:05 "Balls are fine" -Gad Lol that just made me chuckle a bit

I can't wait for more!! I'm playing the game myself and I think you'll really enjoy the next few parts!

I read a good witch book lately. It is called Sanctuary: A Novel of Suspense, Witchcraft, and Small Town Secrets by V.V. James. Had a lot of twists and turns in it. Take Care!

this is my favorite series that you're doing right now... i always eagerly look forward to the next episode 🪦👻

I feel like whoever voiced Gaufrey had way too much fun xD

syphilis couldn't be cured back then. He knew he had it and still dated a lot of women.

Yes!! Love these videos! can't wait to see more!! ♥♥

Pieces of eight were a silver coin worth at the time 8 Spanish Reales and could be broken into 8 bits to make change. also cut into quarters or two bits which later became the american slang for quarter.

The Witches by roald dahl ( yes a children book author). Also has a movie. It's a little bit too scary for children even though it is an old film though but its quite an entertaining movie! Give it a go!

I'm so glad I was waiting for this episod :D.

Call me me lady fair one more time!!! Lol love this game

3:00:00 Syphilis was curable but it was a hellish cure. You had to take mercury, which could lead to symptoms just as bad or worse than the syphilis itself and there was a good chance you'd die anyway of mercury poisoning. So he could have died of the mercury even if the doctor didn't... help him along.

I love this series!

Yay! I'm loving this playthrough

Glad you banished the guy with syphilis, considering it literally made people's faces rot away before they had adequate treatment for it. It wasn't uncommon for people to lose their nose. They did have what they thought were cures (like for an afflicted man to sleep with a virgin), but these things, obviously, did not work. Did he have a right to be angry that he was murdered? Yes. But i wouldn't say that you were overly harsh since he was knowingly passing a disease that would rot away its sufferers to his victims.

Hi Evelien, I love your channel. 💖 Someone probably already answered this but just in case, syphilis wasn't curable until 1928 when penicillin was discovered.

Hint for your eye drops, pull open your lower lid and place the drops there then blink to spread

For reading try Discworld series from Terry Pratchett. There are witch books and recurring characters that are amazing. Great satirical fantasy

Perfect timing just finished part 3 yesterday

Also a good witchy book suggestion (not horror but will appeal to your inner feminist): Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett. It’s about women fighting for the right to be able to use magic in a world where men have taken control of it and made it law that women are forbidden to use it!

You probably won't see this but I hope you do, when you do the manifestion challenges, there is text on the right side of your screen saying what will help during the challenge for example when you were doing the void challenge it said "More rifle and ensnare damage"

Such a beautiful game and storyline!

For witchy books, The Bone Doll's Twin is pretty good and it's the first one in a little series, trilogy I think but don't quote me on that.

I actually tried to play this with the Resurrect Oath, but the writing is so good that my good boy heart can't take it. So I'm restarting the 9 hours doing the Ascent Oath^^.

Yay more banishers!

I read this somewhere: "focusing on the passives that the equipment comes with rather than its attributes is a better approach."

Thank you for another vid! I know it’s not the same game but I bought Pacific Drive and I’m thinking of buying this one as well!

I just had the thought... if someone happened across you fighting all the specters, would they just see Red swinging his weapons around XD
