[English] Genshin Impact - Merusea Village: The color of the sun Shinryu Elffire 2024-06-30 | I was on my way to Mamere. Honestly.But there was this one Melusine that for unknown reasons had its back turned to me.I just had to see what this was about.Little did I know that it was "Sluasi", who wanted to create something as bright as the sun.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 38 - Sharas humiliating defeat (The End) Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-13 | The battle between Shara and Mirai was inevitable.But what happened afterwards really was unexpected.Leave her some dignity, will you? xD(Update from 13.08.: This might be the last video for a while. While I had fun recording, the editing felt tedious. So it's probably a good idea to take a break, before it gets exhausting.)
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 37 - Meeting Mother Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-12 | Much happened since the last episode. I spent a few minutes talking about it, then defeated the last obstacle that kept me from going after Shara.11:56. After taking the stairs, we stood before the Supervisor.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep - Tropical Trope Finale: I won, but I still lost Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-10 | I did floors 5-12 offscreen, then came back to show 13-15 (where the boss awaited). On the road there, I got to show the last mini dreamcaster and one of the ability-granting statues.Then I gloriously defeated the boss (39:19) and could have just unequipped my incredibly strong weapon, that I had spend all the mini dreamcaster upgrades on (plus the hours of grinding gold for the upgrades). Then I could have teleported away and be happy.But NO, I just *had* to explore one last corner of the map...I know I have no one but myself to blame, but when you lose that much progress, it makes it very hard to find the motivation to continue playing.What makes it hurt even more is the amount of PERFECT enchantments the weapon had. There are so many useless ones out there. Frog-slaying and whatnot. It had the BEST!
[Lets Play] Tangledeep - Tropical Trove Floor 3 and 4 Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-10 | I found an amazing weapon with over 300 ATK, without being ruined by any elemental attribute. Yet for some reason, I still struggled with a frequently dropping health bar.Up to the point that I was starting to worry about running out of healing supplies (which would be a death sentence in this mode).
[Lets Play] Tangledeep - Tropical Trove Floor 1 and 2 Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-09 | I quickly went over some of my breeding results, showcasing Shalltear (a pet I'm particularly proud of), then I started the Tropical Trove adventure.The first enemies I had to fight with my bare hands, without any equipment or armor. Imagine trying that in ARK. It took me a while to get better gear, especially since the game kept dropping the exact same item, in the same poor quality (Hide Armor).Then on floor 2 I ran into a trader. "Unfortunately" there were quite a few things I wanted to buy, so I spent maybe half an hour or more on grinding gold, until I could afford everything I wanted.
Langrisser Mobile Ep3 - PvP and class masteries Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-08 | I started with a few words about Pure Zerida's time limited event. Then I took a look at the pvp section. And it really was just in this moment, in the recording, that I realized how the "difficulty" of the players is calculated: Solely by their account level (which tells nothing about their character level/stats).So there, mystery solved. Took me long enough xDAfterwards I explained a few things about class masteries and why I believe runestones to be so very valuable, that players should reserve their ingame currency preferably for them.
Langrisser Mobile Ep2 - Map battle and dragon fight Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-07 | Part two of the short series. I showed a generic map battle, made a few friendship wishes and then went to hunt a real, huge dragon (11:54). Actually, it was a rather tame one. Not particularly agressive; minded its own business.Until I came to claim the loot.Sorry, nothing personal!(And yes, I could have just skipped the fight with "Sweep", since I had already cleared this stage. But I wanted to show how it looks like.)
Langrisser Mobile Ep1 - Heroes and the floating city Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-06 | A small series about my progress so far, starting with an introduction of a few of my heroes, as well as a stroll through the floating city.
Genshin Impact - The temple of space Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-05 | A sightseeing tour through the temple. I wanted to have this one on record because it introduced the one region from the intro: The pillars above the sky.
Genshin Impact - The return of the Wingalet (Time-limited event) Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-04 | The ship that saved Fontaine is back. I had already done the story part of the event, so there's no jealous Citlali or revived Sandrone. But I showed every other aspect, like the mini games and of course the ship itself.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 36 - Murphys Law (To be continued?) Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-03 | WARNING: Buggy, unedited. Not recommended.This recording combined the worst possible factors, some of which were my fault, while others were the game's. All things considered, it was a very failed video. The only thing that *might* be worth watching was when I reached some... CPU, I think? You can jump to 46:40 for that.As for the things that went terribly wrong:1. Like my job emblem before, the game decided to just make my main staff weapon (+3!) disappear. It took the staff right out of my hand, never to be seen again. That alone could have been enough to make me want to end this Let's Play. Because it's a game-breaking bug, if the items you spend hours to upgrade vanish for *no* reason.2. I had tempered with the audio drivers, which completely broke the game sound. It's basically barely there during the recording. Which makes it not fun to watch (or edit) - at least not for me.3. Balancing: The game kept throwing "trivial" enemies at me, who usually were still strong enough to chop away 1/4 of my health bar without breaking a sweat. And waaay too many champions, who took a lot of time to defeat. I was fighting for each inch in the dungeons, which was as tedious as it was frustrating.4. At the same time, grinding to make myself stronger again was not an option anymore, for two reasons: The enemies in the Item World were equally overpowered. And upgrading equipment makes no sense anyway, because of reason 1.P.S.: I had originally planned to end the series here. After letting it rest for a few weeks, I spent some time breeding pets, which was surprisingly rewarding. It motivated me enough to consider recording something again in the near future.That's when I changed the Title from(The End, this time for real)to(To be continued?).Now, if and when a next video about Tangledeep comes, that's to be seen. Thus the question mark.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 35 - Sharas offer Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-03 | I met Shara again, but this time the conversation grew increasingly uncomfortable, as she revealed more and more about her goals and the consequences.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 34 - Duke Dirtbeaks study room Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-02 | I found the bird. Reading books. Or, well, trying to read.Got the option to be nice to him.Refused.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 33 - Irresistible Pandora Shinryu Elffire 2026-08-01 | Yes, yet another Pandora Box I've accidently opened. You'd think that with their unique look, I could restrain myself from resisting the urge to open them (and make all enemies stronger in the process).But no, with my focus distracted due to me doing the commentary, there was no hope for that. Nonetheless, that didn't make it less frustrating.Later in the video I found a girl that sells maps. Bought two and tried one out, even though I thought it would be a terrible idea. Guess what: I was right. With everything revealed, there's no way to effectively explore the dungeon. At least not for me.By the way, I only took one part of the image (the one about the Pandora box) as a thumbnail, instead of uploading the whole screenshot. That's better, right?
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 32 - Sharas past Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-31 | 2:06. I asked around in Riverstone camp, but most weren't particularly helpful. Until I spoke with Erin, who told me about Shara's tragic past and what may have given this girl a push in the wrong direction.They really weren't nice to her, not at all.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 31 - Bird Boss 2 and the first meeting with Shara Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-30 | That was a particularly entertaining episode for me. Erin wanted me to go out and tame a wild bandid. If you think that's weird, just wait till you read what this cheese-loving bandid boss had to say about Mirai.After everything was said and done, I met this mysterious and likeable girl with red eyes and we had a nice chat.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 30 - Item world rush Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-29 | The plan was to make a test recording, while I tried out some graphics recommendations from Google Gemini.But the video got a bit longer than expected. In the end, I completed 3 runs in the Dreamcaster, bringing an item to +3. 32:30. Then something strange happened. Some sort of rumbling, as if an ancient, mighty creature had been awakened from its slumber.P.S.: I couldn't edit this episode, because it was recorded in a format my editing software (Bandicut) couldn't really work with. Which in conclusion made this an unsuccessful test.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 29 - Safe lava walks and average-sized chests Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-28 | What was Armando doing with the Saboteur in this remote corner? Should I have knocked first, before entering?Either way, this was an interesting journey through the Old Amber Station. Like when I thought of using the Consecrated Chaline (which spreads healing water over a large area) to make lava hurt less.In fact I thought that it hurt not at all, but after watching the recording, I think I still got fire damage. It just got migitated by the healing water. Still, some progress.19:30. Arrived at a gigantic chest. If that was a mimic, we'd need a ladder to get Frieren out of it. "It's dark in here. And scary. But surprisingly spacious." xD
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 28 - Redo of Mirai Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-27 | I took a smal break from the game, then came back after my offscreen grind, which had earned me mighty relics, sets and legendaries. I started recording roughly around the time where my last attempt had ended, so that I could basically just continue the Let's Play series from there, just with a few "minor" upgrades to make the journey smoother. Also I switched to adventure mode, so it doesn't have perma death anymore. Not that it would matter, because ironically, I never died again. Not offscreen, not in the recording.
Genshin Impact - 300 Wishes for *one* Citlali (F2P, casual) Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-26 | Losing two 50/50's in a row, gimme a break game!That was so frustrating that I lost my temper there, dropping the f-word a few times.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 27 - Spinning out of control (The End?) Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-25 | Good job with the title, me. A revisit of the Item World, this time on a +3 item. The last and hardest setting. But given how laughable the first two were, I expected no problems. The maps were beautiful as always, featuring some sort of temple this time. Then I got in a level where everyone started spinning when they moved. Funny!The end though, not so much. I made it all the way to the boss. But he multipied, killed all of my followers and then... I panicked. I lost track of what was happening and when. Before I knew it, two bombs exploded next to me, blowing 16 hours of progress away.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 26 - River spirit and a brush with death Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-24 | I was chasing flames around, trying to find what caused them xDEasier said than done.I also met a champion Snake. All her stats went into strength, with nothing left for intelligence, I guess. Because it went to fetch my spinning blades...Later I successfully caught a mythical river spirit. Not particularly nice to look at, but they have strong abilities.And then bombs happened. I think it was a miracle that I survived them. This time.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 25 - The suspicious stranger Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-23 | "This does not bode well. I have a terrible feeling about it. So, let's trust him anyway."That's me in a nutshell.By the way, was he shark-themed? Is he related to Gawr Gura?
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 24 - Taming the first mythical pet Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-22 | Emergency food has arrived! That's a Genshin Impact joke, because of the name "Paimon".Anyway, got me a mythical Panthox.And I gave it lots of love and attention. Well, Jesse did. I just stood nearby, paid her and watched xD
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 23 - Frog Bog and unlocking Catie Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-21 | Catie wanted a Bog Frog, to show me how she can teach new skills to animals.So I knocked one out and dragged it to her.Wasn't enough.I had to bring it aaall the way to the Grove, give it to Jesse, reclaim it from Jessy, then bring it back to Catie.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 22 - The Fungal Caves Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-20 | As I explored the caves, a new day started. So, it was time to return to camp and check the new goods. Can't let them go to waste.There was a rumor with a very tempting reward. And a trader, who I bought everything from, then felt bad about it and sold him some junk to hold on to xDIn the episode, I showed how tricky it can be to get a creature below 15% HP without killing it. And I successfully tested the straddle part for the first time.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 21 - Offscreen report and branching meadow Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-19 | I talked about how I tried the Job Challenge offscreen (where I had to flee after the first few steps), as well as my progress in the Item World and my attempts to tame monsters there*.8:32. Arrived at branching meadow. Read Mirai's comments on both passage, then went for the Fungal Caves.*I had concluded that it just wasn't possible, though it could be that an "explosions" effect from some part of my gear killed the poor critters every time I tried to hit them with a mallet.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 20 - Filling the fridge Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-18 | With the boss defeated, I was free to gather all the delicious food.Well, more or less. There were still plenty of enemies roaming aroundand of course, much of the floor wasn't exactly healthy either.Once I got out, I found myself confused about the enchantment the armor I had explored, because it was the same as the one on the armor I had used in the item world.In hindsight I think it was just coincidence, but when I saw it, I thought that the item world had combined both (and that this way I could control the outcome to some extent).I also found poor Fang, at the edge of some forest, after his defeat...
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 19 - The Item World Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-17 | My first trip into the Item World was a fun experience. I even had unexpected allies; permanently charmed creatures.I broke a dream crystal that gave healing bonus, because I wasn't sure what to do with it xDThe world only had two levels and to my surprise, the second one (with the boss) was filled to the brim with food.(In fact it was the only time in my 16 hours in this game that I found such a buffet.)
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 18 - The Wanderer and the Dreamcaster Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-16 | I talked to the wanderer fishing by the bridge, but... whatever he wanted, it sounded dangerous. So I skipped it for now and went to the Grove.There this mechanic (and surprisingly two-dimensional) cube floated over to the Dreamcaster. MIr, the mad scientist, fixed his machine with it, then told me all about the Dream World.I think the last third or so is me just comparing stuff from my inventory.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 17 - Dirtbeaks Den Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-15 | A bird that's up to no goodgathered its crew to start makin' trouble in the neighborhood.Seriously, this meanie wants to hurt Katie Twinkles.He must be stopped.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 16 - The Riverstone Waterway Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-14 | The idea of alternative paths leading to the same destination was pretty noval for me, at least in this game. The Waterway had some human-like enemies.Oh, I also found the merchant with his bomb shop in the wild. He was nowhere *near* the spot I had heard his voice.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 15 - The wild child Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-13 | With its wild abilities.A new class, which shall open the path to effective monster taming.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 14 - Charmed dummies and weak pets Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-12 | Fun times: Lunch killed a charmed enemy (though i'd consider it a temporary ally), a crab made copies of itself and the game informed me that the dummy around Riverstone Grove was no longer charmed.Jessy told me about the rose petals. And I noticed that, if you give them something to eat that they really love, pets go fetch an item for you. I also had a talk with it about its anger issues towards the spider. I think it's jealous, because the spider is so pretty (that's what I wanted to say in the video, anyway. But I got the order a bit mixed up).Once I made Fang happy, I took him with me. But he was really fragile at first and his health bar dropped frequently.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 13 - The spiny maze Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-11 | The maze was nice to look at, but a hell to navigate through. Because of tight corridors (couldn't fully utilize my pets) and dead ends.After finishing it, the game made a treasure chest appear next to me. Though I thought that it was there all along and I just didn't notice it somehow xD
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 12 - Trying to feed a wild monster Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-10 | My first "drop food for wild monster" quest was a bit tricky. Or at least my approach of it.I set my followers on passive, since I didn't want them to kill the hungry electric jelly, then dropped a box of mints for it. I was also worried because of another monster nearby.It's worth noting that I remembered to switch my pets back to active attacking once the mission was done - something I kept forgetting in the later episodes.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 11 - The curious Panthox Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-09 | It was sooo friendly. It just walked around and got really close, as if it wanted to get to know me. Through be told, I instantly liked this little critter. So I wanted to tame it.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 10 - Goldfrogs tragedy Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-08 | I met a talking frog. I mean, not the bipedal ones, but a "normal" frog. Well, it looked normal. Aside from the color. And the story. And the fact that it ascended to heaven, as if some sort of frog rapture had taken it away.I also learned something fascinating: I don't have the exclusive right to destroy stuff on the map. Even enemies can break crates or anything else that's destructable and stands in their way.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 09 - Carrots of guilt Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-07 | A rhyming Katie, a lighting-casting lizard and a field full of carrots - with a sign in front of it: "Mortal, who dared to enter these hallowed lands, thou shall not take more than one carrot."
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 08 - The first taming Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-06 | I struggled with a few things this episode. With the offhand slot, after I put a weapon in it (which gave me huge penalties in accuracy) and with naming my first spider.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 07 - The Jelly Grotto Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-05 | Sorry, I forgot to remove the first part, about me checking whether I had started recording or not. Oh well, it's only 17 seconds. You can just skip to 00:17, if it bothers you.In this episode I explored the Jelly Grotto and helped reunite a frog and a jelly. So, another normal day in Tangledeep xD
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 06 - Jesse: Stop ignoring the mallet! Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-04 | Danger! One of Jesse's pets broke free.This "incident" was designed to teach me about how to use the mallet.Well, they didn't consider how bad I am at seeing the obvious.1. I didn't notice the spare mallet(s?) lying next to the entrance.2. I didn't notice the frog HP % info on top of the display, so I tried to guess based on how the health bar above the frog looked.And then a realization hit me: Mallets are consumables. Jesse! I need another mallet...
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 05 - Jesse and the power of stones Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-03 | Jesse told me a lot about monster taming. In the Cedar Caverns, I found impressive new weapons. And I also found the pebble pouch to be surpringly strong. Those stones hurt! Their range is also great.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 04 - Post-Tutorial confusion Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-02 | In some games, tutorials are separate modes. So I was confused when I just walked from the tutorial map to the regular first map of Tangledeep.I found a letter from Farmer Cort, a toad that tried to make money-trees grow. Later I was able to visit the Riverstone Grove.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 03 - The tutorial floors Shinryu Elffire 2026-07-01 | The game taught me the basics, including how to dodge incoming projectiles.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 02 - The Riverstone Camp Shinryu Elffire 2026-06-30 | Time to get to know the camp and my new best friend, Katie Twinkles. She's such a cheerful, cat-like cutie.
[Lets Play] Tangledeep 01 - 10 characters to choose from Shinryu Elffire 2026-06-29 | (Note: I don't know why the cave scene in the start menu has lags, but rest assured, the main game and rest of the series runs smoothly.)I talked a bit about the game and my impressions, then I clicked through the heroes and their skills. I removed the part about me trying to find a Genshin Impact name for my character, because I wasn't 100% sure how their names were written (except for the last one, Hu Tao).Either way, I went and called my Floramancer Selan, as a tribute to the beautiful and strong fighter of Pandoria.
[Lets Play] Shattered Pixel Dungeon 31: Eigenbeschuss (Ende) Shinryu Elffire 2026-06-28 | Zugegeben, es gab ein paar richtig frustrierende Momente in den Kämpfen. Aber auch durchaus Spaß. Zum Beispiel, wenn ein Vampir mal wieder von selbst in den Tod stürzte.Das könnte *mir* natürlich nie passieren. Ich meine, einen so perfekten Run vorzeitig an einer Schriftrolle der psionischen Explosion scheitern zu lassen, wer macht denn so was?Antwort: Jemand, der sich damit nicht auskennt und den Schaden unterschätzt, den die Schriftrolle machen kann...
[Lets Play] Shattered Pixel Dungeon 30: Der letzte Laden Shinryu Elffire 2026-06-27 | Mir fehlte noch genau eine Münze für die Quest des "Ambitious Imp", also lief ich kurz zurück, erkämpfte mir eine weitere Münze und gab dem kleinen Kerl die Sammlung.Ich bekam einen identifizierten, hochwertigen und verfluchten Ring (+3!) den zu entfuchen kein Problem war.Anschließend begann ich die Erkundung der Höllen-Ebenen, mit ihren Succubi und Vampiren.
[Lets Play] Shattered Pixel Dungeon 29: Ade Frettchenfell (und Zwergenkönig) Shinryu Elffire 2026-06-26 | Ob nun ein Fehler oder nicht, ich verwandelte das Frettchenfell in ein anderes Kleinod, mit einer Schriftrolle der Umwandlung (dabei bleiben sogar die Verbesserungen erhalten).Ein Artefakt fand ich auch endlich, und sogar eines meiner Favouriten: Talisman der Vorsehung.Nicht annähernd so effektiv wie die Schriftrolle der Vorhersehung, aber wiederverwertbar, leicht zu leveln und recht günstig. Und vor allem, das Teil warnt einen, wenn man in der Nähe von Fallen ist!Ab 8:36 war ich beim wahnsinnigen Zwergenkönig angelangt
