Can You Beat Vigil the Longest Night with Only Bows?

Given the multitudes of games within the genres that Vigil fits into, from Dark Souls to Hollow Knight, I absolutely recognize that there are a lot of examples of phenomenal titles. And while I've yet to get around to most of them, especially Hollow Knight... This title was a delightful little treat. It's a flawed gem that has me rather shocked at how much I found myself enjoying a genre that I historically haven't liked.
While it's debatable as to whether or not this really classifies as a challenge run, it is fundamentally limiting my options. Please ignore the fact that this is also arguably just how I'd play the game anyway. Who knows? Next time, maybe the task at hand will be to kill all of the bosses with daggers instead of a bow. Only time can tell. Sometimes I just like having an excuse to check out a game that I've been meaning to get around to playing and can't otherwise find the time for.
If you're here reading this, then I hope you enjoy your bowness. It's not much, but you've pierced the depths of this nonsense deeply enough I quill give you an arrow of puns for your effort. I hope you're happy with your choices. Because bullseye think this may archereally be getting out of hand. I suppose I should knock it off. At least let you loose. But here I am. Stringing you along. Here's uhh... Here's the rest of the description. I hope you have a phenomenal rest of your day.

Fully got sidetracked when you talked about seasoning. Next time you try red meat and want a quick and easy dry rub ish concoction, try 3 parts salt to 2 cayenne, 1 paprika, 1-2 garlic powder, and if you feel like it 1/2-1 ground ginger. Adding the ginger is great for red meats but it can be a little much for other meats

@OisirM 4 ай бұрын

I'd suggest that if you're going 2 parts garlic powder and especially ginger, drop it to 2 parts salt, or even less. Might be bias, I tend to use very little salt in my cooking, but I've always found those two to very easily give the dish a kick that makes salt redundant, and sometimes lower the quality of the aftertaste.

I think one of the hardest parts for me about sharing any sort of recipe is the fact that I don't tend to measure things all that well, except by "yeah, that looks about right." If memory serves, I add something like elven or twelve different things to burgers when I make them, and the proportions of each are purely running off of how it's eyeballed.

KZfaq refused to show this to me earlier but the description certainly rewarded me for checking if you'd uploaded anything new recently(and was planning on going on a rewatch if you hadn't!) As an archer main in many a game I'm sure this will be quite delightful to watch!

@SailorMusicCat 4 ай бұрын

I liked the commentary on seasonings! Because yeah. Everyone is different and what is heavily seasoned for you could be mild seasoning for someone else! For me I don't tend to need a lot of seasoning because I'm a supertaster. (Except salt but that's because my sodium needs are higher than your average person.)

@SailorMusicCat 4 ай бұрын

Either bombs or giants for mines. And some sort of slime normally. FFXIV gives us cute spriggans in their (first? ~tries to remember if we visit more than one~...we visit Copperbell twice and the enemies are sort of different so...does that count as two?) mine.

As always I greatly appreciate your arachnophobia warnings(wasn't needed for me for those ones) and refusal to show so many of the Very Much Warning Needed ones unless it was like important to the challenge. (Yes I did decided to multi comment instead of edit my first one as I watched...I think based on what others say this is better for the algorithm???...oh I'm gonna have to try and figure this out when my friends and I actually get our channel up and running aren't i? Oh no....)

If you are taking suggestions I have two games I believe you would enjoy playing through and may make for good challenge run content. Dredge - A lovecraftian horror story where you play as a fisherman with a memory issue. Has 2 endings and a really interstingly told story. If I were to suggest a challenge run for it I'd call it Sleepless Night or Insomniac (beat the game without ever resting this is extremely hard particularily in the beginning of the game) Roboquest - A Rougelite FPS thats like a mix of boderlands and doom but with robots. 6 Classes like 50 different weapons and one goal destroy the viris thats taking over. If i were to suggest a challenge run I'd say Fists of fury (you're only allowed to use the fist weapons this is deciptively difficult as whilst the fist weapons do considerable damage u need to get up close and personal to get ur kills and several enemies are going to punish u severly for doing so)

@SpuddyCube 4 ай бұрын

I tend to try to avoid runs that I know have been done/documented. A part of me is disappointed to see that Dredge has been done, because while I haven't tried it, I've heard nothing but good things. And all around, a sleepless eldritch fishing story just sounds incredible to get to play/work on. As for Roboquest, I think the issue would be the roguelite nature of it. A lot of things come down to RNG or meta progression. From the time that I have spent with the game though, it is really fun. I'm personally partial to Engineer, almost exclusively for the drones that it gets.

I have it in my Steam library, but I haven't gotten around to giving it a shot. It does look really cool, but I don't think I was able to find a good run to try out as an excuse to give it a playthrough.
