Mentally Unpacking – Stardew Valley Expanded – Part 19

Mentally Unpacking – Stardew Valley Expanded – Part 19

Hello everybody welcome back to the middle of spring it is in fact Olivia’s birthday and we just happened to find this golden mask recently so there you go it all makes sense and that is just enough for us to get our star drop now normally I just say that you need 13 Hearts to get it but it’s actually just below 13 Hearts so it works out and coming outside we get Leah’s sculpture looks like it was slightly altered by I think earthy recolor so start of the episode I’m going to come out and say it this this is post commentary had it all recorded computer decided it was going to do an update without asking if I wanted it to update first so you y’all know the deal so here we are and normally I’d be able to do a post commentary without even giving away the fact that I’m doing one but stard you Valley is such an intricate game I can hardly tell what I’m thinking half the times when I’m watching these clips so it’s kind of going to have to be a case of just describing what we are doing it’ll be a little bit of a different vibe but you know what maybe you’ll like it more than the regular videos so I did add two mods this time and this is going to kind of set a precedent of something I want to start doing in the future which is oh we have 1.6 at home so the first mod is the blast furnace mod by aspect ratio it essentially allows you to cook five bars at once which since we have automate isn’t really going to make too much of a difference but it’s just neat to have because it’s one of the things that could have probably inspired some of the changes that came in the next update and there’s a bunch of mods that are like like that so I want to keep bringing attention to them since future playthroughs will probably be in 1.6 and there will be no reason to use them the other mod that I added is Firefly torches which simply turns all torches into fireflies which I think will add a lot to the kind of wilderness aspect of the farm there’s a lot of spots that I want to keep wild filled with grass and trees so it’s not like a Walmart parking lot of a farm so tonight when we can see the light that they give off we’ll fill the farm with them I’m looking to build up a little bit of money so I’m going to grab all of the wine and Juice we’ve made up to this point and sell it and I won’t lie during the recording I was intending to use that money for our house upgrade completely forgetting that I just upgraded our house last episode Robin is literally working on it over there on the side of the screen but that’s fine we have plenty of other things to spend our money on this is also why I went to the secret Woods to get more hardwood because you need 150 hardwood to upgrade your house which I already spent which explains why I’m very low on hardw that’s fine though as I said I still want to get that slime Tremor ring for setting up our slime area fully and there’s tons of slimes here to slay selling off the wine and Juice gets us to a little over 70,000 gold which is a lot more than what I know to do with now we did get the mission to give Evelyn a leak so that she can give it to George and I did notice that she’s at nine out of 10 Hearts so if we complete that mission and also give her a gift we should be able to finish her off and funny enough she’s at the community center which I never expect because every everyone’s always like oh why doesn’t anyone go to the community center so when someone does it always kind of throws you off a little bit anyway there she is maxed out checking the special orders board for the week There’s juicy bugs wanted and tropical fish I don’t really need either of these so I’m just going to take tropical fish which actually I didn’t think of it at the time is a lot harder due to the fact that you can catch a lot more fish in the ocean of Ginger Island there’s like the moon jellies and the sea sponge and the starfish it’s actually pretty wild it’s dark outside now and since I can see the light that the fireflies are giving off I want to start to place them around any spots that I basically have no plans to build anything on I’ve always said that this is a beautiful map and I do want to save the Wilderness aspect of it quite a bit and I think this helps towards that so I’ve got around 20 fireflies that I’m just going to place in random corners and grass just cuz it looks neat I did craft those torches forgetting that I have almost 400 in my Crab Pot chest I always forget about the resources I have here and people always say check the Crab Pot chest sorry I’m still mentally getting used to the automate mod you would never have this many items coming out of recycling machines in a normal playthrough and I do spend a little time getting Sashimi from all the fish we’ve caught in the crab pots just because I want to see those last few cooking levels but unfortunately we don’t get them we wake up to an absolute barrage of notifications three slimes escaped a female slime and a male Slim slim is hatched those are both in the Slime Hutch that’s the only place you get that notification and our steel ho is ready which is important because I need it to level up my archaeology skill and I’m pretty sure this is Olivia’s 12 heartart cutscene my my hope you didn’t Scorch yourself dear coffee is the best when it’s as hot as possible I will say honey I’d like you to join me for aerobics class today I’ve been meaning to teach you yoga for so long now class starts at 2 p.m. sharp all right I will make it a point to go to it all right start of day two we got a Rainbow Shell from the letter that’s actually incredibly important because that’s one of the last things we needed to complete the casino Quest and I’m actually very interested to see if they added anything different in there so we’ll put that in a safe spot going in to pick up all the eggs the gust special order isn’t quite done yet but we should be able to finish it up tomorrow we also have a huge Harvest of ancient fruit ready today I think I’ll start putting that into the cegs cuz I think we’re starting to get enough coffee to where we’ll be set for the foreseeable future like I think once all the coffee that is currently in this chest is processed we’ll be good now I have noticed I actually haven’t given too much attention to all these bee houses the setup is almost done it just needs a couple more bee houses right now though we’re limited by how much coal we have so I’m actually going to just burn all of the wood that that we currently have and we’ll just grind all that wood back later in a couple of days all that wood should be processed going back into Clint I am going to grab the steel ho and the next item to get upgraded I don’t know at this point if I’m going to need the other tools so I’m just going to go for the golden frying pan we can still cook even if it’s upgrading so there’s no risk so one thing that I absolutely have to do is get Lance up in Hearts that’s like the number one priority cuz that unlocks a lot of the rest of the stardy valley expand content and I did notice that there’s one loved item that we can get currently and that’s tropical Curry which we already have the recipe for unfortunately it does require hot peppers so we won’t really be able to mass-produce them until summer but it’s close until then we’re going to have to settle for all those golden cauliflowers we have all right it is just about 2: p.m. I absolutely don’t want to miss this so we’re heading in right on time Hello Olivia and and S we’re about to start the warmup okay everyone get into your stretch positions I can’t help but notice that Harvey is also here very nice and Haley who’s normally not here okay let’s start shall we one and a two and a three got to say as someone who’s recently started going to the gym as part of my hot girl summer I I really enjoy the little group things honestly just being in like a public space kind of like forces you to like I don’t know just keep at it cuz it’s like oh well I can’t just get on the treadmill for 10 minutes and then leave it’s like I know no one will make fun of you but you know the feeling time for individual workouts it’s great for holding yourself accountable I suppose and I’m just lucky where I live in the middle of nowhere where gym memberships are not expensive first we’ll try some basic forms Follow My Lead dear come wrap your legs around in this position okay it’s just it’s just our pass out animation yoga provides a path to self-discovery and self-reflection what will you what will you reflect on dear well I’m looking at these and I feel like personally I’d be reflecting on whether my Grandpa would have been proud of me yeah cuz the others are kind of like eh you know I built plenty of relationships we’re good oh your grandfather can’t imagine a scenario where he wouldn’t be okay dear keep that thought in your head and breathe deep like [Music] this I can’t wait haly was just standing off to the side I didn’t even notice that when I was doing this live that’s crazy hit Willie with the cauliflower on my way through he’s at eight hearts so he’s pretty close to being maxed out as well and we’re heading to Ginger Island so for one of the recipes that we need to buy at the island Trader which I believe we just recently unlocked we will need a bunch of bone fragments so I’m just going to grind out bone fragments at the dig site real quick I did get a strange doll which is weird also when I check my artifacts thing it still hasn’t filled up even though we have de definitely donated it I don’t know what that’s all about it’s going to annoy me to no end but oh well I go back down and I get the banana pudding recipe from those bone fragments checking on the farm it looks like all of the starfruit is ready to grow which is so important because I will be able to get some junimo Huts from them soon I think the only other things I need are fiber and stone and this haul also does give us the pineapples we need to make a couple of tropical curries so that’s good too just getting a little refresher on how many golden walnuts we have we have 76 out of 100 which is not as much as I’d like we haven’t done the bombo Frog guy yet though so there’s still a lot to be gotten from that I spend the rest of my night on the island Just Fishing because I do have that mission to catch five of each of the island fish unfortunately I don’t catch too many of them and I’m also trying to get that green Luna l or the green Moonlight jelly because I haven’t picked it up yet and I guess it’s living up to its rare status because I and they must be incredibly rare if I still haven’t fished one up like I said all those extra fish that we can catch really do make this Mission harder because after all that time I only caught three lion fish which is a little crazy I really don’t foresee us to actually doing this special quest which is fine cuz it doesn’t give us anything important and that’ll do it for Tuesday and it looks like our house finished upgrading we got the achievement living large I found the second snake vertebrae completing the snake and giving us three more golden walnuts plus a mango tree and while I figure at this point a lot of the golden wets we missing are probably in the volcano we need to spend a couple of days going through it I do go back to the valley because I absolutely do not want to miss Lance I catch Lance at the adventures Guild and give him the second golden cauliflower of the week unfortunately that’s not two hearts yet but it will be next week for sure seeing the warp gate here it did give me an idea I haven’t seen the junimo woods in a hot minute and I do have a lot of money to throw away at anything they may be selling checking in on them there are a couple of artifacts that I can actually buy that I haven’t donated yet as well as some minerals from the mineral seller it’s a pretty good haul all in all I’m feeling like this is really the reward for doing the community center you suddenly have access to a ton of items that makes the other part of the games a little bit easier so I can definitely appreciate that I donate the three new items to the museum and each of them gives us a new reward checking in one of them was the magic rock candy but I’m actually going to grab the flute block here because I don’t believe we’ve done the mermaid puzzle yet we also grab the crystarium because crystalarium are always nice to have I found Emily I didn’t catch it during the live recording but she’s actually sad because of the Clint cut scene we saw last time yeah they’re both actually kind of reeling from that one and back on the farm I go ahead and set up that new Crystal Arium with yet another Jade I’m looking at our cauliflower field now that we have star fruit I need to clear a spot for the junimo Hut it’s just six cauliflower it’s not a big deal I estimate that around here should be the right spot we’ll see if that’s true or not I went down to check how many materials I need for the gima Hut and I’m actually short quite a bit of fiber so we’re going to spend some time in the woods to grind that up while it was there I remembered to go to the Little River SL lake at the bottom left side of the map because the king salmon should be there it wasn’t there when we found out about it in Fall I do see it in the river but I think it must disappear at 900 p.m. because it went away right as I started fishing so we’ll have to come back for that and pretty much spent the rest of the day doing that briefly when I got back to the farm I spent some time harvesting in the greenhouse I’m probably going to get rid of these coffee soon kind of good on coffee and if I ever need to do it again I can just replant them so you know and I go to put those pineapples we harvested on Ginger Island into the fridge but wait there’s hot peppers in there that is what we were missing for the tropical Curry I quickly go and grab some coconuts and put them in and we have two tropical curries to give to Lance next week which should be perfect we should be able to move on with that Quest finally and that’s the end of the day another day another s it’s Market day today I’m probably not going to do it I did it last week and I have a lot on my plate this week so we have other things to do harvesting our eggs today we just barely get enough to finish up Gus’s Quest so we’ll do that a little later I also can’t help but notice that Olivia is Manning the store at the marketplace which is interesting I don’t know if that changes anything mechanically but cool Sandy also came in to visit which made it very easy to give her a gift I head over to Clint just to see that he’s absent because of Market day it’s really a double-edged sword you can make so much money everyone’s in the same spot to give them all gifts but you can’t do anything else while waiting for Market day to settle down I just give everyone a bunch of gifts while they’re here Clint’s back in his shop at noon I go ahead and open up the golden coconut because I do I still think I need the golden Walnut from it and also I need the fossilized skull unfortunately I got neither and yeah Clint still a little torn up on Emily that’s okay he he can move on now he can find someone who he doesn’t need to convince I’m sure there’s someone somewhere I also go into the saloon that Gus is absent from which is fine because we don’t need him here to do it and we donate the eggs that we have completing the omelet Quest now we can head back to Ginger Island to get some more business done there pretty much every time I walk by I’m going to check the dig site to see if there’s any panning spots not only for the lucky ring which would be really cool but also because the fossilized tail is in them unfortunately no luck today the big reason I’m here is for the volcano I know there’s got to be a ton of golden walnuts hiding in enemies crates rocks pretty much everywhere so I really want to get it done as soon as possible also Lance is outside so it’s an easy opportunity to get a little more friendship with him during the delve the first thing I found wasn’t a golden Walnut but the completion of the monster Slayer goal for slimes that’s such a big deal finally I’ll be able to go and get the Slime ring pretty much directly after that I did find a golden Walnut in a crate and I found a journal scrap that leads to another golden Walnut right after that and this is the secret spot that also has a pearl in it if I need it for anything found another golden Walnut in a rock another one in a another one from an enemy and near the end of our Quest we found the dwarf sword which normally I wouldn’t really bat an ey out I like to get the Infinity Sword but that thing has plus seven defense and plus two speed that’s above from vanilla stardew Valley where it’s plus four defense and I’m thinking there’s a reason for that I do know that there are some more difficult combat areas up ahead in stard Valley expanded it’s kind of obvious because of all the adventure Guild stuff with Lance that’s what unlocks the new areas so I’m actually wondering if maybe going for a defense centered build might be better for us in the long run if you’re unaware like building defense in sty Valley is like incredibly powerful so we’re going to keep an eye on this we’re not going to use it yet but maybe after we upgrade it a couple times we’ll be good speaking of upgrading we’re at the forge I have plenty of Cinder shards I’m going to go ahead and combine the aridium ring and the burglar’s ring both rings that I basically intend to have on at all times we’ll have to figure out what goes in that other slot probably the Slime charmer ring didn’t quite make it back to the bed after that so we passed out in the middle of the island it’s Friday yet another slime escaped during the night I might have to look into getting a mod that removes that type of notification with how many tiger slimes we have it’s basically a given at this point with the bunch of golden walnuts we got last night I’m going to spend five to unlock the mailbox on Ginger Island mostly because I don’t want to accidentally miss something important because I’m spending a couple of days on Ginger Island in a row somehow we managed to get 60 visitors but 80 grumpy visitors to the marketplace last night and we did also get our mini fridge that’s going to be super useful I pretty much always need it in every playthrough going to go ahead and grab that golden Walnut we got the hint for and we’re out of here so I did have a thought at this point we’re going to be unlocking the casino soon I’m going to want to do some skull Cavern runs so I went to the Blue Moon Vineyard because I remember that they sell some wine that has huge luck Buffs but when we went in we did get a cut scene hello there Sophia I’m not quite at this point in our farming Journey you’re a little bit ahead of me hey you I’m checking my casks this this column here will be aged to aridium Quality next month yeah I’m I’m nowhere near that I don’t even we don’t have casks unlocked my mom and dad made them no well it’s okay please don’t feel bad um hey let’s head upstairs I I want to tell you a little about my parents okay I knew we would be getting this eventually personally I’d already thought we had seen her eight heart cut scene so I didn’t know we were going to get another um this is the room you found me in last time I do remember that it’s my parents room come inside all right so we’re finally getting the lore I think we heard a little bit of something from Gus earlier on cuz we chose some specific dialogue lines I never finished packing and moving their belongings okay I guess part of me thought they were gone really gone if I did I mean that’s fair enough um they my mom and dad there was a car crash yeah I think we knew that it was the fourth of fall my parents were on a business [Music] trap they were gone all day and wouldn’t answer their phone it was weird that evening there were knocks on the front door I was greeted by Mary Lewis and Gus With Tears in their eyes say what you will about Mary Lewis it does seem like he does genuinely care for everyone in the valley it told me my mom and dad yeah thanks I’m okay you and Scarlet have helped me so much through this I’m really happy I have friends like you [Music] guys I knew it’d make my parents proud if I took over the vineyard in their stad it’s a lot of work but it’s all I have left of them what should I say uh you’re doing a great job managing the vineyard or I want to do everything I can to help I mean these are these are both like decent ones I think I’m going to go with uh you’re having a you’re doing a great job managing the vineyard because it feels like you know that’s her goal thanks I had to learn so many new things it was really hard at first but I feel as if I’ve grown as a person um I know this may be coming out of nowhere but I want restore my parents’ room do you think you could help me absolutely I’m so excited to do that absolutely the other dialogue line was so mean you really will help me yay feel like this is our first time seeing any happy emotions from her I’m really excited you’re seriously the best um I don’t want to push this all in you so suddenly we’ll start organizing stuff tomorrow well that’s yet another thing to do in the coming day I’m helping Sophia move boxes tomorrow in her house all right well we’ll make sure we come to do that however I did come here to check out the wine we have the Aged Blue Moon wine which is a plus seven luck which is crazy so expensive though but we have tons of money and then there’s the regular blue moon wine which I think is like a two yeah plus two luck I will be grabbing one of those aged Blue Moon wines you never know when it could come in handy I’ll save it for a rainy day it’ll be pretty good I also have everything I need to build a junimo Hut so I’ll go ahead and get that put in place I was hoping it would show me its range whenever I was putting it down but it seems like it doesn’t and on my way back to the farm we did actually get interrupted by Magnus rasmodius because he has a little something to say so it’s true I heard you convinced the junimos to move in but I had to see it for myself AEM I am rasmodius I appear before you as the mighty initial configuration wizard tamber of the Arcane I mean I suppose he technically didn’t have to introduce himself to you yet shall I go on uh yeah I definitely want the tutorial here this is going to enable one of our new mods better junimos very well first the junos have many abilities animal vegetable and mineral but they need items which they will request from you to perform each ability you only need to supply the items once then the junimos can perform that ability forever or I suppose I could just summon all the items they’ll Ever Need right now so I’m not going to go with that I’m going to make them myself because I feel like I’m a big boy and we’re late enough into the game where it’s probably trivial anyway I’m admirable Choice the Juno’s needs will take you on Many Adventures secondly the junimos need to be paid for their hard work each day you need to give them a fruit flower or Forge item and they’ll get to work but there’s another way I could cast a spell to convince them to work for free so here’s my reasoning here I don’t know if this means I have to check on them literally every day and give them one Forge or one flower or whatever or if I can just stack them up with like 28 flowers and then they’re good for the month until I know that for sure I’m going to have them work for free and fair enough because that’s the way it is in vanilla stardy Valley anyway so I don’t think I’m being super overpowered here if I do find out that you can just stuff them full of forgees sure I’ll do that but it’ll still be kind of meaningless cuz I’m just going to stuff them with forgea forever and you wish it’s not for me to decide I should teach you how to communicate with the junimos there’s a box outside the Hut put in seeds fertilizer wages and items they request take out the crops and forage they harvest there’s also a note in the hut that tells you if they’re working hard and what they need read it if you’re confused about what they’re doing the junimos can enter your Greenhouse if it’s within walking distance of their Hut they will not travel farther than that that is actually crazy finally you can change the working Arrangements at any time it’s very flexible shall I show you how things can change uh no I mean I can look at the options whenever I want to I may return periodically to study the gimos and learn more about their ways rest assured though your feeble mortalized will be unable to see me yeah that’s a yeah I’m sure you’ll be there they definitely coded that in they made sure that you’d be invisible so let’s check out the goomo hut that is a huge range that’s got to be increased from the base game unfortunately if I had just moved it down to and over one it would be covering all the crops but unfortunately I didn’t so at some point we might move it I know there’s a sprinkler right in the way so yeah I don’t really know what I’m going to do with that at this point there doesn’t seem to be any options to mess with anything so I think we’ll leave it alone for now so one thing I want to do now is create those blast furnaces I got a couple of iron ore it doesn’t take nearly as much as it does in 1.6 to craft them and like I said this isn’t going to be the most impactful thing it’s just cool to have it’s all automated anyway it’s not like it would be actually any faster cuz I don’t have to tend to it anyway but it’s neat period now I did torch all of our wood for coal so now I’m going to take the time to go and get all that wood back and once again while we’re in the woods I’m going to take this opportunity to try and catch the king salmon and I do and I also try to catch another one but I get the Dorado which I’m pretty sure we probably didn’t have it this point but it’s cool that this counts as an area where you can catch the Dorado cuz it’s so rare otherwise so we’ll take it I spent pretty much the rest of the day cutting down wood which allows us to make a ton of bee houses I’m kind of trying to figure out where exactly this flower is going to be I think I’m going to move it one space up so I’m putting them in relation to where that will be and I think we almost have enough be houses to finish up this formation just a couple more and it’ll be done and it’ll just be making tons of honey for us for the rest of time that ws up our Friday but we did get level six binning yes I’m still making sure I check the trash cans because I can check them with without anyone getting mad at me now plus 3% chance for a bonus trash drop and a chance to get super rare bonus trash drops and I don’t really know what that means so I’ll just have to keep checking them to find out it’s Saturday and it says for three star fruit the junimos can train more helpers so I did check the options and it said that there were only three junimos at a time which I think is actually less than the base game so I have extra starf fruit might as well do it all I got to do is plop them in and Bam more helpers with a field this size they’ll probably need it I also go to check get on my slime Hutch and there’s a lot more slimes now and a couple of slime balls too now that there’s a couple of males and females actually I think there’s only one male uh they’ll start reproducing a bit more quickly so we’ll fill this up in no time the clownish have been asking for coil for a while so I fill the quest and now they can populate up to 10 and I will say I did check to see like what they’ve been giving out of the fish pond and it’s coral sea urchins and rainbow shells which aren’t the most exciting items if I see fit I might swap these out at some point down the line if there’s just really cool fish with really cool items later on speaking of fish a lot of the ones that I’m still missing are all of the ocean Crab Pot fish I haven’t caught a single one in fact so I’m going to get some more crab pots it’s a little weird to find the Crab Pot recipe because they’re ducks and I’m not looking for ducks on the crafting recipes but oh well I set up five of them to be automated and that should count as being properly caught and I did not forget to check in with Sophia so here we are oh you’re here let’s get to work I made some snacks for us later nothing better than unpacking and snacks I suppose I hate unpacking there’s like there’s few things I hate more I’m the person where if I go on like a two week long vacation oh Sophia and I cleaned and organized her parents room the snacks she made were delicious I’m the kind of person where when I go on like a two week long vacation I ever unpack cuz like I don’t know I’m leaving in 2 weeks as work I think that’s everything now I am wondering if this is actually the furniture that she packed up or if it’s new furniture I can’t begin to tell you just how much it means to me hey I’m going to send you something really special in the mail tomorrow all right well I’m excited for that thanks so much again yay yeah it’s so weird seeing her happy which is I don’t know kind of a read to say but still cool that’s done and immediately after another Sophie cutscene exclamation points yeah I do feel like she and Haley would be really good friends come back again soon I love doing makeup with you right I would love that Haley’s girls girl you know what been watching Love Island USA she’s giving me live Vibes that’s the that’s the vibe I feel great so now we just get to live in a day of the Sophia gets a text message from her friend Scarlet you’re [Music] silly today is a good day like it’s so it’s genu Ely kind of awkward but again I do like how they uh do fill all of these cut scenes with like background characters kind of hungry cuz usually you know vanilla game they don’t Sophia my dear you look beautiful today hell yeah Mom Squad giving out the compliments and she’s on her way into the startup Saloon maybe Gus has orange chicken well wouldn’t count on it cuz he doesn’t have it for us but you know maybe maybe it’s a special occasion I like I like myself some orange chicken Andy it’s the middle of the day what are you doing hi Gus I know exactly what you’re here for grampleton orange chicken coming right up yo grampleton got their own orange chicken I feel like in stardew it’s like a literal Orange chicken like the blue chickens we have and not the sauce so yummy I’ll agree with that orange chicken is really good feel like I got to spice it up a little yourself though Yo doggo God when was when was this uh written 2015 I know it wasn’t 2015 stardy Valley wasn’t out in 2015 that that was the dog era sorry want some bats but it is night asterisk pets Dusty like a Tumblr conversation back and forth she is very Tumblr CED and I hate to say it maybe it’s good maybe it’s bad I’ll leave that up to you and one last scene catching her here reading [Music] outside hey you I’m in the middle of reading manga in public depends on which manga there’s a couple I wouldn’t be caught dead I’m getting out of the house more I think spending time with other people helps me hey I want to show you this page you’ll get a laugh out of it she reading one piece Sophia showed me funny pictures in the manga book we laughed and talked about her day she’s happier than ever well that’s great I’m happy to see that and now since we did catch a couple of new fish I am going to head to the stardy valley aquarium it’s been a long time comeing we haven’t been here in a couple of episodes I want to say and while I’m walking around checking things out what do I see other than the puffer fish chicken logo of sppy I feel like this has to be a new legendary fish and I do actually hook it and yes it is officially considered a legendary fish it has the hat and everything I was actually very surprised I am not nearly well equipped enough to deal with this now we’re going to have to come back later we’ve got three fish to donate the aquarium is really starting to fill out there’s hardly any fish tanks that are empty at all so looking nice I checked the shop outside just to see what there is available and I I got to say that’s very expensive legendary bait I’m so scared to use it because it’s so much money I don’t want to use it without knowing what it does so I don’t know tell me in the comments or something but I will actually take a couple of dish of the Seas just in case I have to catch any legendary fish soon to start to wrap up my day I’m going up to the adventurers Guild because I do want to grab the Slime ring but alas yet again another cutscene I’m afraid the answer still no Gunther can’t be held responsible should anything happen down there I hope you understand looks like he wants to go down exploring I will respect your decision thank you for your time yo what’s up I’m here hello Mr s Mr S I don’t like that I’m not old enough for that yet I’m seeking to hire an adventurer to escort me in the mines to continue my research I must require a hand on approach i’ go myself but those Caverns are home to hordes of monsters perhaps that would oblig with your request well Mr s can you escort me in the mines yeah sure got to do exactly as I say yeah I mean I don’t know I thought he would be like a companion that would like fight alongside me or something promise to be careful s’s a seasoned adventure and will serve well in protecting you Gunther I do however require you to learn a couple of combat stances at a minimum for your own [Music] safety of course sweet am I seasoned yet I guess I am cuz I got the Galaxy sword and there was that whole cut scene Mar’s going to run down some things with me meet me in front of the adventure Guild building tomorrow before the museum opens for the day another task for the the next day it’s funny how we got like three of those all at once well we’re here now I’m going to grab that slime charmer ring and we will immediately be equipping it spent some time on the farm cleaning up our inventory organizing things seeing where things should go and then we called it a night last day of the week for five star fruit we can have unlimited junimos huh we did get a letter from Sophie hey you thanks for helping me restore my parents room I couldn’t have done it without you especially with the heavy stuff I know it’s strange I packed everything up and moved it all back so it was the same Furniture I suppose it was a change of heart enclosed as a bottle of my finest aged Blue Moon wine thanks silly and right after we bought it ourselves well that’s okay now we don’t have to stress out about what situation we use it in cuz it’s so expensive since we have two we can use it a little more liberally well first things first I’m going to head to the mines to make absolute sure that we do not miss the Gunther cut scene and here he is cuz the museum opens pretty early yo what is up my dude ah there you are I arrived early to ready myself for our Expedition uh are you nervous well yes I am nervous this is my first time exploring the minds I’m honored as a re a revered Adventure as yourself is uh coming with I’ll follow your lead Mr Z yeah sometimes they don’t keep up with the dialogue I’m sorry and I don’t know the words guess I could just dub over it again I don’t know then it’s less real y’all wouldn’t want it to be less real would you this is a really cool layout for the mines I wish this is like a regular floor I think there’s a floor very similar to this in like the habo Rog like mod which I do adore it’s a great mod H this equipment for was abandoned when miners hit a void Spirit Nest decades ago shortly after the adventure Guild was established here oh I guess I wouldn’t have thought about what caused the adventure Guild to start need to find a cavern undisturbed by human activity I think that’s usually in like the lava area I don’t think we find any mine carts down there down we go now this is not Disturbed you know other than the Giant Ladders heading down I suppose I don’t think that’s naturally occurring personally also great luck with the ladders by the way Mr s there’s a small gap between these Cavern walls perhaps there’s something it leads to per chaps once again this would be a cool mind’s layout what should I say uh well let me go in first cuz I keep feeling like there’s going to be a jump scare of a monster here so I want to be the one in the lead and I almost thought that he was going to disappear as he walked through the hole there just lost him immediately all good really dark my glow Ring’s doing work it’s dark let me turn on my Lantern well I mean I do have the aridium band but ah a treasure Trove of untampered artifacts oh one slime I’ll beat it to death with my hands I guess no sword needed thany thank you for protecting me Mr S I prefer them petrified hardy har har this is quite the find we stumbled upon I’ll start Excavating now the sooner I’m done the sooner we can leave these perilous Caverns all right really cool really neat yes these dwarfish artifacts will greatly help my research you receive prompt payment in the mail bonus included for your courageous actions neat I mean I am pretty sure I’ve donated all of those items to you already but all right well now that we’ve done that I’m going to head back and not miss the cooking show Queen of the sauce or queen of the queen of sauce sorry and we get complete breakfast I want to give Lance a gift today since the gifts did reset but he’s gone to the highlands on Sunday unfortunately what I can do now is complete the casino Quest I’ll throw in the Rainbow Shell into the box at the train and now I need to place 10 beats inside of mayor’s fridge luckily I just planted all those beats last episode who they’re all ready along with a bunch of ancient ferns I put those in the fridge and now I need to send the dragon his last meal so we head to the desert and I guess I’m actually going to have to search for the dragon myself cuz I’m not actually 100% sure where it is now a lot of people were asking me to like walk to the edges of the desert uh this is it it’s just like an invisible wall you can’t walk past it the three columns with the Galaxy sword at the bottom was the bottom edge of that and here is the dragon bones I’ll put the solar Essence into it it’s just like south of the skull Cavern here and we can grab the casino card at the logs at our house and I will be checking the casino immediately always be nice to the bouncer never call him a blockhead that’s mean it is it’s redesigned quite a bit for sure uh I can’t help but notice the key coins are also changed in accordance to the ridium recolor there is a statue of treasure which is 12,000 key coins or 120,000 in regular gold and then I do need to get the rare Crow those are the only two things I need to grab here don’t know what the statue of treasure does if I were to guess maybe like a random gem every day but uh yeah we don’t really have the luck or the money to grind any of that out so we’ll wait until later so I did want to do one little project here on the farm just to make it a little easier to walk around we have this little warp Hub at the bottom left that’s as far away from our Farmhouse as possible that leads both to the Slime Hutch the regrow logs that we get and our little mini Quarry so I actually just cut down everything that was in the way cleared off all the grass and connected the path up to the ladder and then I also connected the path down from the slimes down to the teleportation Hub as well I’m thinking sometime in the future whenever we do start unlocking the obelisks I’ll put them down here cuz I like the idea of it literally being a teleportation Hub just seems neat to me I don’t know the specifics of how that layout will look but we’ll get there and that pretty much took the rest of the day once again I want to apologize for this being post commentary I know it’s a little bit different from the rest of the series but we’ll be going back to the regular playing in the future thank you for watching see you in the next one and good night [Music]
