Hello all, I'm Ardendrus or Arden for short. I'm here to have some fun with some games I enjoy, so if you wanna stick around and join in the fun, I'm happy to have you.
Thanks! It's been awhile since we actually played this series, so it's nice to get back to it.

On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus fights an ant infestation and becomes a little bit more of a bored immortal than she was before, then accidentally beats the Ant Boss just a little bit too fast. After that, it's time to fight some orcs -- and then fight Lady Luck for playing games of torment, because apparently finding lapis comes at the cost of gate balancing. Oh, and the Ice Elves are back (not that they ever really left).

On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: The orcs are back. Ardendrus finally gets the tough gate they've been looking for, only to accidentally force the boss out into the void with their reality warping powers -- guess they might need a little more practice with those. On the plus side, they probably know how some of those past gates became doomed. On the minus side, well, even a gate break isn't enough to let them get a proper 1v1 with Tusk, the slippery bastard. However... there's always the possibility of an Ant infestation to make things more interesting!

On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus does not have time to kill ten thousand demons, or time to kill anything that is not going to give them experience equivalent to ten thousand demons. The Ice Elves may have an issue with her gate-balancing-related ennui, but that's not going to stop her from messing around with the fabric of reality just a little more to try and get more interesting gates. Other than getting another Baruka Dagger and a second Old Key, though, not a lot happens. i have no idea why the Gates are being this rude to you and frankly i think they should knock it off. i am also, the more i watch this mod playthrough, reminded of the gameplay in the modpack Vault Hunters, so i guess that's kind of a suggestion if you're one for a combination tech mod/action RPG modpack? definitely more of an extreme longplay type mod, though. here's hoping the Ice Elves finally let you see some new stuff, or i'm suspecting next episode is going to go along the lines of "beating up every Warden in an ancient city with my bare hands, and also i killed the dragon"
@Ardendrus19 күн бұрын
Even changing the fabric of the universe did nothing to counter Lady Luck. So many gates cleared, but nothing really to show for it this episode. You're actually the second person to recommend Vault Hunters in the last few episodes, so I guess I really should take a look.

On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: the Wild Hunt re-establish their grip on the fabric of reality with a gate spawned directly in front of Ardendrus's home and a challenge to track down their leader (after reality breaks a few more times). Despite these complications, she's able to fight her way out of the fray and maybe accidentally break reality herself at least once -- and then it's back to the Bad Future to kill -six billion- two hundred demons!

Afterwards, she brews up some mana potions and heads into a mysterious S-Rank dungeon... and teleports herself directly into a ruined, demonic Bad Future version of her peaceful Gate-spawning jungle village. Here there be demons -- but Ardendrus's training with the Wild Hunt appears to have served them quite well when it comes to the task of demon-hunting.

On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus gets some fancy new accessories and starts testing out the AOE capabilities of their favorite spell (Fire Storm). Ice Elves continue to show up in various other dungeons, but it turns out they're a little less intimidating in smaller numbers... and that their tight grasp on the fabric of reality has significantly lessened. The Ice Elf Boss even leaves their dagger behind after a number of defeats at Ardendrus's hands; maybe a token of respect for a worthy rival? It's just in time, too -- the Orcs have entered the fray, and they are coming in _swinging._
@Ardendrus22 күн бұрын
Perhaps the Ice Elves are just a precursor force, meant to test our strength and resolve before the arrival of the more powerful foes on the horizon. We fought through weak willed goblins and mindless golems and undead before, but the Ice Elves are much more cunning and intelligent than any previous foe, and they have marked us as worthy of their full force. And perhaps the Orcs are just wave 2.

On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: it keeps happening. Did _I_ curse you or something? I mean, a Red Gate opening up overlooking your literal ingame house is... look, narratively speaking that's the type of thing where I'd ask my cowriter whether or not this was too on the nose. That's... I think you're haunted now? Or maybe one of them? Sorry about that one. Ah -- where was I? Right. On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: the Wild Hunt takes the fight to Ardendrus's doorstep, and she takes the fight right back to theirs, battling her way to victory through thick fog and minor breakdowns in the fabric of reality. After leaving on their own terms, Ardendrus takes out some of that annoyance on some very hapless goblins... and then, after a very long wait, discovers that even the regular dungeon gates are no longer safe from the Ice Elves or the reality-breaking effects surrounding them. Uh oh. i also didn't notice the knockback resistance on the dragon armor! that's... a little scary, considering how much the ice elves are tossing you around with double the knockback resistance _of_ Netherite. huh. wild!

On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: no escape! No escape! No escape! Ardendrus enters another Red Gate without knowing and goes for round 2 with the Wild Hunt -- apparently they're not done with her just yet. After defending herself once more, she settles in to clear a few more gates and hunt down more lapis... the latter of which turns out to be the more difficult task. i did double-check, since i was worried i'd given you misinformation, but no -- lapis generates up to 2 veins per chunk that can be exposed to air as close to y=0 as it can get, and then generates up to 4 veins that cannot be exposed to air and range evenly on y levels anywhere from -64 to 64. it seems like Lady Luck is just kind of being a jerk about lapis.
@Ardendrus24 күн бұрын
It seems that Lady Luck has a weird sense of humor. I can have as many resources as I want, plenty of cool artifacts, and golden apples for days (including enchanted ones), but only as long as I get them while failing to find lapis. The odds say I should find them, luck says no.

On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus talks strategy and prepares to train to defeat the Red Gate... only to find themself still entangled in the wintery domain that's been giving them trouble. However, one thing is more powerful than the physical prowess of the Ice Elves -- namely, the power of sniping things from outside their aggro range (although Fire Storm is pretty helpful, too). After defeating the dungeon's boss, she delves into the mines again, only to find that the Deep Dark also isn't quite done with her, as the sounds of the sculk trail behind her well outside of the biome. Luckily though, the benefits of the levels gained from all that sculk follow as well, as they're able to get quite the upgrade in survivability by buffing their armor! that music you heard was Ancestry by Lena Raine, and is a track that plays while you're in caves with the Deep Dark biome! if i had to hazard a guess as to why it followed you out of the biome, i'd say it probably has to do with having used a waypoint to teleport home -- the music just kinda kept playing since the track had already started and you hadn't changed dimensions or anything. SPOILERY GAME MECHANICS TALK: Protection compounds more and more the more armor you have enchanted with it; if you put Protection IV on all your gear, you'd have a whopping 64% damage reduction against everything that isn't starvation, the Void, or Warden lasers. as for knockback resistance -- you'd need to change out of the dragon armor and into some Netherite, that's the only armor type that has it.
@Ardendrus26 күн бұрын
Training and preparations are well underway, and soon, we return to the land of frost and snow to put a stop to the brewing storm! I wasn't sure how well the enchants would work against the mod's enemies, but they seem to work pretty well! We'll have to keep working towards getting our gear as strong as possible for our ever strengthening foes. That makes sense with the music, it definitely fits the vibe of the Deep Dark.

In today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus is sent to a mysterious icy realm during what should have been a mundane book shopping spree and finds herself pursued by what one can only assume is the Wild Hunt themselves (that's what I get for implying something spooky was going to happen last time) before finding that the portal that lured her in was actually a Red Gate disguised as an ordinary dungeon gate. After that, it's time to recover and seek out a way to defeat these foes! Ardendrus tries out new weaponry before searching the land's caves for ways to make their existing gear stronger, meeting the formidable force of the Deep Dark's Warden head-on with her trusty spear in hand. (fun fact! everyone has their Roman Empire, mine happens to be... well, mine actually happens to be storytelling in Minecraft and game mediums and some related MCYT fandoms, but i do also have vague approximate knowledge of some various fairy tales and similar myths! so... i don't think i'm going to be particularly normal about the first bit of this episode. might have to draw something about it, who knows!) also congrats on the 3.1% roll on that enchanted golden apple! they're pretty rare in dungeon chests, your luck is PHENOMENALLY weird indeed. it's a couple of episodes out of date when it comes to advice, but -- lapis doesn't spawn exposed to air as frequently, taking a hoe and mining up a lot of the sculk could be a good way to expose some of it just under the surface?
@Ardendrus27 күн бұрын
That was a bit of shock. I entered that portal expecting a small corridor with familiar enemies, not a full blown arctic tundra with enemies that fling me around like a ragdoll! I think that was the game punishing us for getting too comfortable with the grind cycle, and it's tools were true forces of nature! The deepest of colds and the darkest of nights, sent to block our progress, but in the end they will not prevail! I knew that diamonds had been changed to not spawn with exposed air as often, but I didn't know that the same was true for lapis. I'll have to keep that hoe trick in mind!

On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus narrowly avoids the consequences of skipping leg day (which as everyone knows is giant lobster centipedes), finds the world is changing faster than she anticipated (with more eyes yet again), does a little more arson science and takes their first death in a while, fights back a new strain of an undead scourge with sneaky tactics, and finds a mysterious key... and also, your humble narrator gets Perceived! I'm trapped in the narrative now! No escape! ...Although, something about those gold blocks feels... ominous. Familiar. Between those and the fog... No, those are soul torches, not redstone torches. You're probably safe... one can only hope he's not here. but all jokes aside, i am quite glad you've been enjoying the comments as much as i've been enjoying the series! i do like a little hack-and-slash gameplay and like i said a while back, this one definitely hit the spot. (also, there's... technically no incorrect way to pronounce my username? my name's solar, so i say it "sol-ar-gee," but "sol A.R.G." is also correct and "sol argh" is so funny i can't not enjoy it) depending on how long the series is gonna go, villager setups with stuff like Mending/Sharpness/Fire Aspect might prove more useful and reliable. could mean a more stable food source as well. food for thought, i guess

You don't have to gear up for the first mission just use your money from the shop and buy a wooden sword and iron pickaxe upgrade your stast on vitality it's very helpful Then you won't die to boss I'm level 9-10 I think and i have the best armour and my vitality is 34 i barely take damage 😂
Yeah, I definitely over prepared big time 😅. But in my defense, the goblins got a rework right before we started the series that made them a lot less scary.
@@Ardendrus true anyway i liked the vid Big respect for making this❤️
@@AndriaKirkitadze-jv2gc Thank you! ❤️
Love the vid! been watching since ttigrim ep1 and worked up the courage to ask if you wanted to have an extra player on some of these playthroughs.
Thanks for watching for awhile! I'm not entirely sure when or what the next Minecraft series is going to be, or really how to set up a multiplayer (so far I haven't run any of the multiplayers on the channel), so that's something that I'm going to need to take a closer look at before saying yes.
@@Ardendrus Totally sensible, theres a mod called "Essential mod" that has a friend system with online multiplayer hosting without servers required
That sounds cool. I'll have to check it out.
Do enemies have i-frames after taking damage? I wonder if the poison effect is actually preventing you from doing other kinds of damage to them while they're ticking from poison.
I'm not sure. I haven't really noticed many hits that didn't do damage, so I think they have pretty short I-frames
Been loving the series!! I wonder how effective strength potions would be?
Thank you ! I'm not sure how much strength would affect damage with the stat system, but it could be worth trying. I'm already doing potion brewing anyway.
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus fights an ant infestation and becomes a little bit more of a bored immortal than she was before, then accidentally beats the Ant Boss just a little bit too fast. After that, it's time to fight some orcs -- and then fight Lady Luck for playing games of torment, because apparently finding lapis comes at the cost of gate balancing. Oh, and the Ice Elves are back (not that they ever really left).
I guess I don't know my strength 😅. I wanted to give the ants a proper fight, but instead I blasted them to smithereens. But luck is stronger still, and much more fickle than I.
Hi, is modpack downlaodable from somewhere?
No, this is just a small modpack I made myself.
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: The orcs are back. Ardendrus finally gets the tough gate they've been looking for, only to accidentally force the boss out into the void with their reality warping powers -- guess they might need a little more practice with those. On the plus side, they probably know how some of those past gates became doomed. On the minus side, well, even a gate break isn't enough to let them get a proper 1v1 with Tusk, the slippery bastard. However... there's always the possibility of an Ant infestation to make things more interesting!
Tusk may have escaped this time, but next time we meet, we'll have a true battle!
@@ArdendrusI am watching through the series rn so idk if you have figured these two out but if you hold shift and press the next skill button it will go backwards, and right clicking the magic staff refills some mana
I figured out the mana staff, but not how to cycle backwards. That's such a simple thing, and I never tried it. Thanks for the tip!
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus does not have time to kill ten thousand demons, or time to kill anything that is not going to give them experience equivalent to ten thousand demons. The Ice Elves may have an issue with her gate-balancing-related ennui, but that's not going to stop her from messing around with the fabric of reality just a little more to try and get more interesting gates. Other than getting another Baruka Dagger and a second Old Key, though, not a lot happens. i have no idea why the Gates are being this rude to you and frankly i think they should knock it off. i am also, the more i watch this mod playthrough, reminded of the gameplay in the modpack Vault Hunters, so i guess that's kind of a suggestion if you're one for a combination tech mod/action RPG modpack? definitely more of an extreme longplay type mod, though. here's hoping the Ice Elves finally let you see some new stuff, or i'm suspecting next episode is going to go along the lines of "beating up every Warden in an ancient city with my bare hands, and also i killed the dragon"
Even changing the fabric of the universe did nothing to counter Lady Luck. So many gates cleared, but nothing really to show for it this episode. You're actually the second person to recommend Vault Hunters in the last few episodes, so I guess I really should take a look.
Hiya, if you enjoy going into dungeons and fighting mobs/getting loot you should check out a modpack called Vault Hunters, it's pretty cool in my opinion and it'd be fun to see you play it
I've heard of Vault Hunters, but I've never really taken a good look at it. I'll have to look into it more, thanks for the suggestion!
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: the Wild Hunt re-establish their grip on the fabric of reality with a gate spawned directly in front of Ardendrus's home and a challenge to track down their leader (after reality breaks a few more times). Despite these complications, she's able to fight her way out of the fray and maybe accidentally break reality herself at least once -- and then it's back to the Bad Future to kill -six billion- two hundred demons!
It really has become a tradition, hasn't it. The Ice Elves show up on our doorstep nearly every episode. No matter how many times they try, they will not stop us though. The amount of demons we have to slay on the other hand... that might put a hold on out progress.
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: FIRE TORNADO! Ardendrus learns a new skill before their now-traditional trek into the Frozen Land to duke it out with some Ice Elves. Afterwards, she brews up some mana potions and heads into a mysterious S-Rank dungeon... and teleports herself directly into a ruined, demonic Bad Future version of her peaceful Gate-spawning jungle village. Here there be demons -- but Ardendrus's training with the Wild Hunt appears to have served them quite well when it comes to the task of demon-hunting.
Fire Tornado is my probably my new favorite skill. I just wish I could fling them around whenever, but it's too expensive for that. I'm glad the beings of ice and frost gave me the opportunity to grow stronger and learn this new ability, because now I can show the beings of fire and brimstone what true heat feels like.
sorry but did not watch all your recent solo leveling video's due lack of time. is there already more content in the mod now?
Yeah, there's quite a bit more to this than I first thought. Every 5 levels we can find new enemies, and there are a few different side things to discover. Plus the mod keeps getting updated, it's happened 5 times since we started.
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus gets some fancy new accessories and starts testing out the AOE capabilities of their favorite spell (Fire Storm). Ice Elves continue to show up in various other dungeons, but it turns out they're a little less intimidating in smaller numbers... and that their tight grasp on the fabric of reality has significantly lessened. The Ice Elf Boss even leaves their dagger behind after a number of defeats at Ardendrus's hands; maybe a token of respect for a worthy rival? It's just in time, too -- the Orcs have entered the fray, and they are coming in _swinging._
Perhaps the Ice Elves are just a precursor force, meant to test our strength and resolve before the arrival of the more powerful foes on the horizon. We fought through weak willed goblins and mindless golems and undead before, but the Ice Elves are much more cunning and intelligent than any previous foe, and they have marked us as worthy of their full force. And perhaps the Orcs are just wave 2.
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: it keeps happening. Did _I_ curse you or something? I mean, a Red Gate opening up overlooking your literal ingame house is... look, narratively speaking that's the type of thing where I'd ask my cowriter whether or not this was too on the nose. That's... I think you're haunted now? Or maybe one of them? Sorry about that one. Ah -- where was I? Right. On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: the Wild Hunt takes the fight to Ardendrus's doorstep, and she takes the fight right back to theirs, battling her way to victory through thick fog and minor breakdowns in the fabric of reality. After leaving on their own terms, Ardendrus takes out some of that annoyance on some very hapless goblins... and then, after a very long wait, discovers that even the regular dungeon gates are no longer safe from the Ice Elves or the reality-breaking effects surrounding them. Uh oh. i also didn't notice the knockback resistance on the dragon armor! that's... a little scary, considering how much the ice elves are tossing you around with double the knockback resistance _of_ Netherite. huh. wild!
I'm beginning to think I might be doomed by the narrative. These frost beings are a true calamity, always present, always waiting to strike with nasty new tricks.
@Ardendrus well _that_ doesn't bode well for future episodes, oh dear
goat horn at 37:05
Yeah, I definitely spent longer on that than I should have. I started hunting for that horn at 28:30
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: no escape! No escape! No escape! Ardendrus enters another Red Gate without knowing and goes for round 2 with the Wild Hunt -- apparently they're not done with her just yet. After defending herself once more, she settles in to clear a few more gates and hunt down more lapis... the latter of which turns out to be the more difficult task. i did double-check, since i was worried i'd given you misinformation, but no -- lapis generates up to 2 veins per chunk that can be exposed to air as close to y=0 as it can get, and then generates up to 4 veins that cannot be exposed to air and range evenly on y levels anywhere from -64 to 64. it seems like Lady Luck is just kind of being a jerk about lapis.
It seems that Lady Luck has a weird sense of humor. I can have as many resources as I want, plenty of cool artifacts, and golden apples for days (including enchanted ones), but only as long as I get them while failing to find lapis. The odds say I should find them, luck says no.
is this a modpack or a mod?
There are a few structure mods and quality of life mods, but the stat system and gates (and the enemies inside) come from the same mod, Cromta's Solo Leveling mod
@@Ardendrus i see
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus shatters their first Doomed Gate in a while before repairing a different kind of gate and traveling to the Nether for exotic potion ingredients. Then, finally, the hunters become the hunted. congrats on defeating the Red Gate! short comment this time, as i wanted it to feel a little more punchy. excited to see where things go from here!
It's interesting how most episodes have us popping in and out of normal blue gates, but this one had us take on 3 special gates instead. (I know the "Doomed gates" are just glitched blue gates, but it's fun giving them their own classification).
@@Ardendrus that _is_ interesting, you're right! and yeah, i think calling them Doomed Gates is just more fun, adds a little bit of kick to what's otherwise a seemingly inexplicable glitch. a good time all in all :D
This is amazing keep it up!
Thanks! I'm not sure exactly when this is getting continued because it's multiplayer, but it should be sometime soon.
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus talks strategy and prepares to train to defeat the Red Gate... only to find themself still entangled in the wintery domain that's been giving them trouble. However, one thing is more powerful than the physical prowess of the Ice Elves -- namely, the power of sniping things from outside their aggro range (although Fire Storm is pretty helpful, too). After defeating the dungeon's boss, she delves into the mines again, only to find that the Deep Dark also isn't quite done with her, as the sounds of the sculk trail behind her well outside of the biome. Luckily though, the benefits of the levels gained from all that sculk follow as well, as they're able to get quite the upgrade in survivability by buffing their armor! that music you heard was Ancestry by Lena Raine, and is a track that plays while you're in caves with the Deep Dark biome! if i had to hazard a guess as to why it followed you out of the biome, i'd say it probably has to do with having used a waypoint to teleport home -- the music just kinda kept playing since the track had already started and you hadn't changed dimensions or anything. SPOILERY GAME MECHANICS TALK: Protection compounds more and more the more armor you have enchanted with it; if you put Protection IV on all your gear, you'd have a whopping 64% damage reduction against everything that isn't starvation, the Void, or Warden lasers. as for knockback resistance -- you'd need to change out of the dragon armor and into some Netherite, that's the only armor type that has it.
Training and preparations are well underway, and soon, we return to the land of frost and snow to put a stop to the brewing storm! I wasn't sure how well the enchants would work against the mod's enemies, but they seem to work pretty well! We'll have to keep working towards getting our gear as strong as possible for our ever strengthening foes. That makes sense with the music, it definitely fits the vibe of the Deep Dark.
Nice dude
Thanks!
In today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus is sent to a mysterious icy realm during what should have been a mundane book shopping spree and finds herself pursued by what one can only assume is the Wild Hunt themselves (that's what I get for implying something spooky was going to happen last time) before finding that the portal that lured her in was actually a Red Gate disguised as an ordinary dungeon gate. After that, it's time to recover and seek out a way to defeat these foes! Ardendrus tries out new weaponry before searching the land's caves for ways to make their existing gear stronger, meeting the formidable force of the Deep Dark's Warden head-on with her trusty spear in hand. (fun fact! everyone has their Roman Empire, mine happens to be... well, mine actually happens to be storytelling in Minecraft and game mediums and some related MCYT fandoms, but i do also have vague approximate knowledge of some various fairy tales and similar myths! so... i don't think i'm going to be particularly normal about the first bit of this episode. might have to draw something about it, who knows!) also congrats on the 3.1% roll on that enchanted golden apple! they're pretty rare in dungeon chests, your luck is PHENOMENALLY weird indeed. it's a couple of episodes out of date when it comes to advice, but -- lapis doesn't spawn exposed to air as frequently, taking a hoe and mining up a lot of the sculk could be a good way to expose some of it just under the surface?
That was a bit of shock. I entered that portal expecting a small corridor with familiar enemies, not a full blown arctic tundra with enemies that fling me around like a ragdoll! I think that was the game punishing us for getting too comfortable with the grind cycle, and it's tools were true forces of nature! The deepest of colds and the darkest of nights, sent to block our progress, but in the end they will not prevail! I knew that diamonds had been changed to not spawn with exposed air as often, but I didn't know that the same was true for lapis. I'll have to keep that hoe trick in mind!
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus narrowly avoids the consequences of skipping leg day (which as everyone knows is giant lobster centipedes), finds the world is changing faster than she anticipated (with more eyes yet again), does a little more arson science and takes their first death in a while, fights back a new strain of an undead scourge with sneaky tactics, and finds a mysterious key... and also, your humble narrator gets Perceived! I'm trapped in the narrative now! No escape! ...Although, something about those gold blocks feels... ominous. Familiar. Between those and the fog... No, those are soul torches, not redstone torches. You're probably safe... one can only hope he's not here. but all jokes aside, i am quite glad you've been enjoying the comments as much as i've been enjoying the series! i do like a little hack-and-slash gameplay and like i said a while back, this one definitely hit the spot. (also, there's... technically no incorrect way to pronounce my username? my name's solar, so i say it "sol-ar-gee," but "sol A.R.G." is also correct and "sol argh" is so funny i can't not enjoy it) depending on how long the series is gonna go, villager setups with stuff like Mending/Sharpness/Fire Aspect might prove more useful and reliable. could mean a more stable food source as well. food for thought, i guess
Wait, is that dungeon layout a reference to something? I don't actually recognize it if it is. And am I pulling a Deadpool? I'm breaking the fourth wall and having a conversation with the narrator, so it kinda feels like it. I didn't realize how much was actually in this mod, so it's going quite a bit longer than I had planned originally, but I'm quite enjoying it. Not to spoil too much, but we are going to get up to a bit more survival stuff in later episodes (I have the next 2 episodes already recorded and scheduled).
@@Ardendrus I don't think it's a reference to anything, but I _do_ have Herobrine on the brain pretty much always. excited to see where things go from here!! :D
Sounds fine to me
Thanks for letting me know. I didn't notice anything wrong while editing, but the confirmation is nice.
Solo leveling 🗿
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus's required inquiries into the Querry are quenched, they find out how to force-explode Doomed Gates using Task Manager/forbidden magic/ingame commands, and then discover there seems to be... extra eyes on them? Hm. Anyway, she beats up a knight in order to obtain her arson license, bemoans the lack of strong opponents, does some arson science, and buys a whole lot of bread! i will say that you popped up in my yt recommendations a bit back, i think actually episode 2 or 3 was the one that got recommended to me -- but i like to start series from the beginning, so i went and backwatched! i will probably also be passing this series off to a few friends who might be interested tbh; i really like the laid-back combat style of gameplay, especially in a relatively short sub-hour chunk of time, and it's been great watching so far :D
I'm glad I decided to look at commands, there is some pretty handy stuff in there, and it kinda works in universe with all the other weird stuff happening. And it's kinda funny how we went from killer snowballs to fireballs in the span of 3 episodes! Thank you for the support and the color commentary! Tomorrow's video is gonna be something different, but this will be back in a couple days, because I'm enjoying this series a lot!
@@Ardendrus ooh! new stuff, exciting! :D
If you fight igris, i suggest you clear it as fast as you can, so that you can choose better class
That's a good tip, thanks!
The anime is really good, animation and everything makes it worth watching.
I really need to get around to watching it, I just keep putting it off. If the art for the show is half as good as the art for the webtoon, then it will still be amazing.
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: The consequences of skipping leg day. Also, Ardendrus finally finds other survivors and a cool glove that does absolutely nothing, does a bunch of damage science, and discovers that backpacks can be made Less Bad before posing some queries about the Querry. breaking character: as you can tell by the chain of comments, i've now caught up on this series and have been quite enjoying it! glad to see you have a better backpack now and excited to see where things go from here!
I'm glad that real world trainers don't make you fight giant bugs just because you missed a few squats! That feels a bit harsh. For real though, your comments are probably my favorite comments I've ever gotten! I'm really happy that you enjoyed the videos enough to put so much effort into them!
@@Ardendrus honestly the least i could do for such a fun series! i'll keep doing them as long as i get the inspiration :D
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus gives us a glimpse of an alternate future world, we discover some weird facts about the geography of dungeons, the world is a lot lonelier than it previously appeared, and it's time to tempt Fate by skipping leg day.
So many ruins to run through, and not one sign of people anywhere! I don't think that these past civilizations were very good at monster fighting (not that we did much better in the beginning).
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: our hero Ardendrus experiences some minor fashion disasters, the Doomed Gates prove to be a recurring but manageable issue, and... GOATS!!!! Oh, and also we find out someone's been putting rocks in her snowballs. Savage.
I spent SO LONG on that silly horn, and I was gonna get it! And I totally didn't stuff those snowballs with lead or something so that they bludgeoned and poisoned enemies, that would be evil 😇. I do love when weird mod interactions make weak weapons actually useful.
On today's episode of Solo Enchanting: Ardendrus begins her journey to save an abandoned world, finds out that the post-apocalypse doesn't have much in the way of good food, extolls the virtues of hit-and-run tactics, and... discovers the Backrooms? Wait, that last one can't be right... but they do clip between the borders of reality a little... in all seriousness, excellent series presentation so far! just discovered your channel and i'm excited to have stuff to backwatch and see where this series goes from here :D
I love the way you phrased this, and it's a pretty accurate play by play! Thank you for the laugh, and for the kind words!
Keep on the great video
Thank you!
Half of the video just talking with goat, kinda impressive
I might be a little too stubborn for my own good 😅
20mins into the video and you're still stalling for time and didn't go inside a portal, i know you want to raise your retention time but this is just awful and dreadfully boring when half of the video if just you wandering and not showing the actual mod in the video
tiktok generation, its not a mod showcase
this has nothing to do with attention span it's actual genuine criticism he's obviously a fairly new youtuber the last thing he needs is yes men like you
I can see where you're coming from. After looking back, I probably kept in more of the busy work/prep work than I needed to. It didn't have anything to do with retention time though, I just got distracted rambling about how things worked instead of just showing it.
@@samiralae9739 bruh i Have made videos for a long time, I enjoy content like this instead of hyper edited ''popular'' content, ofc there is room for a lot of improvement with what to cut, I just dont agree with the stalling part
pretty cool mod
Yeah, for a fairly new mod, there's a lot going for it. It could use some balancing in places, but the models are excellent and it has a pretty good system for the stats and shop
@@Ardendrus I hope they add some more content and do some fixes (watched all 3 eps, looks like fun to play on a smal server)
I bet the guild system could make for some fun competition in multiplayer, seeing who could make the strongest guild.
Hi!
Hello!
Loved it I watched it all and would do it again!
Thank you!
Thanks for playing! Very informative and I'm glad you had fun! Definitely some communication I need to clear up. I'll try to make some more tooltips go a layer deeper so Power Pendant's effect isn't a mystery! If you destroy the Drosera's they won't actually damage you. I was a bit worried when you took 9 damage, hehe. But you got through so it's okay!
Ooh, that makes sense. I guess I added some extra drama with that misunderstanding! But yeah, I really enjoyed what I've played through so far! I still need to play through the rest of the demo, but I'll definitely be on the lookout for the full version!
W vid
Thank you!
and im here
hello ardendrus
im new to this series
love your modpack on Tlauncher but it doesnt wanna open though
Um, hello. Nice to have ya here, but what about Tlauncher? I have never used it or made a modpack with it, so I don't know what that's about.
oh i see how you went down the wrong path now
Yeah, I spawned looking at a torch and didn't even think it could be the wrong one
Love this game
I had a lot of fun with this one! It's a very cute game.
Well, that's quite a poor turn of event for RWBY as whole. In a way you could also gain some views with what's happening, hell that's how I got there. Aside from that, the video itself is entertaining because you are, keep persevering 'cuz you definitely seem to have what it takes to keep people interested, with a bit more experience you'll surely be really good at it, especially because you've only been doing it for a year. And you know what? Ima sub'
I really appreciate the words of encouragement. I try pretty hard to make these as fun to watch as possible, so it's nice to see people enjoy them, and I plan to keep putting in the work! Also, RIP Rooster Teeth.
hey ardendrus i would like to ask if you might be interesting in joining me and my friends on my new dragon survival series
also nice video 👍
That sounds like it could be a lot of fun! I would like to hear more about it.
My discord @ is the same as my name here
nice video cant wait for more :)
Thanks, I'm planning on coming back to Pixelmon soon, now that some time has passed.
