Youtube Boss Playthrough on HARDCORE!
By: Killa Date: September 1, 2012, 9:04 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Before anyone asks, yes I have left and I'm still gone, but I
did say I'd come back on weekends. I'm just not actively working
on TCO like I used to before. That doesn't mean I still can't
post my new video playthrough ;) since it's something I do as a
side project when I'm bored.
Anyhow on to the actual topic I posted this thread for. I have
started my hardcore playthrough of TCO! I chose this version
because well....yeah I just chose it because that's when I
decided to do it. In case you're wondering, it's version 1.8e. I
figured I'd throw it on the forums like I did with extreme
playthrough because people seemed interested in seeing some of
the videos. So, I only finished chapter 1 right now but I'll put
the videos up and tell me what ya think. This playthrough will
also be using a giveup to show you how amazingly strong I can
get, that should be fun. Oh, definitely watch it in 720p and
fullscreen, I finally got all my videos to be HD so take full
advantage of the nicer quality.
[color=white]Now, to tell you what I want to accomplish in this
playthrough. I'm planning to absolutely crush and destroy the
bosses on hardcore. I may not be able to do it in chapter 1
because that's a hard chapter to absolutely crush the bosses
since I don't have most of my essential items yet, but I'll
definitely accomplish that in later chapters. Oh, and obviously
to 100% complete Hardcore, I see that as taking down every elite
and epic boss. Yeah, and I also don't use potions, they aren't
necessary, they're nice, but not essential.
A note on the videos though, I only show boss battles this
playthrough. I figured it was the only interesting stuff in my
videos and since I already did a whole playthrough of the game,
it'd just be the same thing. At least with this it's 2 whole new
versions, new items, and different difficulty and tactics.
Especially since the bosses are now updated to be harder and
different. Oh yeah and this is an important note, too. I
borrowed one of the save files Aero had because mine was lost
and I instead got one that's basically exactly like mine. Only
thing is, my name will now say Apocalypse instead of
Killa.[/color]
Not only that but I'll be doing a lot of explaining of how I got
certain items or how I did certain tactics and how I got to
where I was. For those who are not interested, I always include
a time stamp in the beginning of the video in an annotation of
where the boss battle begins.
I'm not sure how the progression of these videos will work
because again, I don't have too much time to do stuff like this,
so it's really only stuff I do on the side. Still, it's
something I wanted to do, so here they are.
Chapter 1
Video 1: Introduction
[spoiler]

We're just doing a quick selection of the spells I'll be using,
build, and what these videos will entail.[/spoiler]
Video 2: Items, CKs, and Chapter Boss, Oh My! (Chapter Boss)
[spoiler]
HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtLt6FQzJmc
This video contains a lot of explaining of my tactics, where I
got all my items in the chapter, how you can get them, and what
I'll be doing with them. I do this because people often asked me
in my other videos how I got certain items. The other thing I
describe is my preference on what I like to use for CKs. I did
go crazy on them because I had so much to spend. I do tell you
what I recommend though. Oh and the actual boss fight is
trivial, as the first boss always is.[/spoiler]
Video 3: Finally, a challenge (Elite)
[spoiler]
HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfL-R0FoRro
This video is a little more interesting since it's less
explaining, more boss battle. I explain how I got my items
together and from there I move onward to the elite boss and show
how amazing I am at failing to quickswap items. You can see me
clearly fail in the video which leads to complications if you
watch it. Also, I run around aimlessly haha, it's because I'm
waiting for my skills to not be on CD or to gain more mana. In
the early levels, it's a problem so I had no choice especially
since I don't use potions. Luckily later on this never becomes a
problem, you always will have mana regardless of
potions.[/spoiler]
Video 4: A challenge of EPIC proportions! (Epic)
[spoiler]
HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcFnGfvcfMs
In this one I completely forget that I had silver set all along
and I could have used it for the battle! It doesn't matter too
much for me though because even though items really help, I more
depend on my skills rather than items so honestly, it didn't
make a huge difference for me. When you play though definitely
use it, it helps certainly.[/spoiler]
Video 5: Bonus!
[spoiler]
HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mysDgOrADOE
This is actually not an awesome bonus video since it only shows
one quick thing. I was planning to make the bonus episode bigger
and cooler, but honestly, chapter 1 didn't offer me too much
bonus content. I'll try and make it better in the later
chapters, otherwise, this will just show me easily destroying
Ormester without even being hit (true I did use Chaotic Rift,
but I dodged his easy two spells and smoked him in less than 10
seconds). The only reason why I actually included it was because
I was laughing at the fact Aero said it'd be "tough and
challenging" which I know was meant for new players but I needed
to put something in for the bonus video, and this was
it.[/spoiler]

Apparently Aero need to create a new difficulty to counter
Killa's skills and prevent him from continuously waltzing
through the campaign time after time like this ;D
