Playable Crowmauler could be interesting as a unlockable character. Like, you can unlock it after doing all the non-S endings. Basically a character you play as for fun, stupidly overpowered and stuff.

Yo I like when the craw mauler said "it is maulerin time!" ... Then he pecked my head :)

Naming dark priest pucci is so accurate lol

"Cahara of the desert" sounds like he's gonna give me a long-ass explanation about the LORE of Fear and Hunger

I am pretty sure the fairy tale you were mentioning is a german brothers grimm fairy tale called "Hans im Glück" (translated to lucky Hans) where a guy goes through trades where he gets increasingly less valuable items untill he has no items at all and ends up happy because he doesn't need to worry about his possesions anymore. He starts off with a gold chunck and trades with for a horse and so on.

That “guard” description of being twisted apart used to be what originally happened when you failed the guards’ coin flip. It might have been in a beta or earlier build of F&H, I’m 100% positive I’ve seen it happen in some KZfaqr’s videos. Also playable Crow Mauler is the funniest bit of info I’ve ever heard about this series. Rag’s S ending mission would surprisingly be fitting considering why he is the way he is.

15:59 moonless before being corrupted by the dungeon

Whenever I see necrophobia on the necromancer Enki I can't help but find it funny xD As usual great video!

"Welcome back, I am Mercenary, Also known as Cahara of the desert in the dungeon and today we are gonna ascend a lil' kid to god of fear and hunger"

"Arm of the Nameless" sounds awfully similar to the weapon that could be found in one of the mazes in a very old game "Planescape: Torment". You play as a amnesia-stricken character (hence called "The Nameless One") that is also immortal. During your adventures you visit places which were influenced by your former selves. In one of those places you find your own... arm. :D

Another thing about the Captain's Diary page about the Thicket: from a gameplay/story integration perspective, it'd be a neat little hint to the player regarding the existence of the area, since it IS technically supposed to be a secret.

The battle with the horse would be so dope. Imagine that after you went outside after finding Le'garde the horse standsup weirdly and start chasing you, like a final boss for the E ending. also, i can imagine his pp

I know of two stories that slightly remind me of the Nameless Traveler story: * Don't remember the name of this old Asian (maybe Buddhist?) parable, but the story entails a monk who is 'robbed' by a thief in the woods. The monk 'mistakes' the thief's intentions, and give him literally everything he has (including the clothes on his back). The thief leaves with all of the monk's worldly possessions, while the monk smiles up at the moon and calls the thief a 'poor soul', wishing he could have also given the thief the beauty of the full moon at night (which is what he was watching/enjoying when the thief came to rob him). -(Uncle Leo from Fallout 3 is a reference to this story, iirc). * "The Emperor's New Clothes": An emperor is outwitted by a couple of scam artists who say they have a set of the finest, most heavenly clothes that can only be seen my moral and just people (they don't actually have anything). The emperor can't see the clothes but doesn't want to admit that, so he pays an exhorbitant fee for the 'clothes', has them put on, and then goes on a parade wearing the 'clothes'. Everyone is told the story, and no one can see the 'clothes', so everyone pretends they can see them and cheers the king - until a child looks up and asks why the king is naked. At which point everyone realizes the emperor was scammed because the child is considered a moral & just innocent due to their age. (I think the story ended with the emperor shrugging and everyone continuing on because there was no sense in making a wreck of things at that point; everyone was guilty of lying, so everyone let it go).

my favorite part of the video was when Frapollo said "I am the fear and hunger" and proceeded to become a Ragnvaldr main

the crowmauler is kinda cute tbh

there's something so creepy to see stuff you were NOT supossed to see

Hey so, one day I want to make a manga about f&h and I want to add a bunch of theories and cut content and videos like these really help. And I just want to say, more broadly, thank you for being Frapollo94. With your love for f&h you have been able to change my outlook on what is possible if you just push and keep pushing. So I just wanted to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I don't think I am the same person as the one before finding you.

the branding iron and arm of the nameless very much seem like they would be tied to isayah, considering he is a plague victim and has a missing arm. maybe ties into the theory that he either is or was going to be a new god

Your pronunciation of Carotid was pretty much perfect, by the way

I think the story you are talking about is The Star Money from Grimm Brothers, where a little girl gives everything she has even the clothes on her back but then stars themselves see her selflessness and give her new clothes and rain coins upon her.

13:40 lore goes hard, i wasn't expect that to be an ending ☠

When you told the story of the nameless traveler I immediately thought of "The Star Talers" by the Grimm brothers (it was one of my favorites when I was a kid). The version I know ends with stars falling from the sky and turning into gold coins but Wikipedia says there is also a version where a guardian angel appears that personally rewards the girl with the gold, which sounds more like the version you mentioned.

5:00 I'm surprised you didn't know - in earlier versions of F&H that was the coin flip attack of guards. I guess the reason you found it there because it was left very early on. Fun fact: I may possibly be the reason why guarding blocks coin flip attacks! Way back I was leaving criticism and suggestions in the F&H discord, and one of the points was that coin flip attacks are kind of too cheap - they just test the luck, so I suggested that there could be a deeper system for avoiding them. For example - each coin flip attack upon failing the flip would present a set of choices - and only picking incorrect ones would result in instakill. The correct choice wouldn't be always the same, instead during the combat enemy actions would give hints to the player what choice that is. That way the player would be able to use the knowledge to outplay enemy actions, just like he can with other hazards. I imagined it as the action order before the coin flip attack would decide the correct choice - for example, if Guard hacked at the palyer, then 1st choice would be safe, if he used other attack, then the other choice, etc. But I also suggested that a simpler solution would also be to give a hint in a form of attack message - like when it says "the guard rushes at you". The coin flip attack could give different messages, and the safe choices would be tied to these messages. The player would had to learn these variations, and gain ability to safely overcome coin flip attacks with time and knowledge. Since RPG Maker doesn't allow different attack messages, Miro probably decided to implement the simplest solution - have guarding block the coin flip attack, and tell player that guarding is the thing that blocks the attack. (Now that I know RPG Maker better I know that my suggestion could be implemented by making different attacks themselves, each with its own message.) So, what I assume, is that maybe possibly it was me who introduced the idea to make coin flip attacks blockable!

You blew my mind with the unused latern attack!

The tale that you remember is a German fairy tale named "Die Sterntaler" or "The star-money" in English. It's about a girl who gives to those in need despite being poor herself. In the end, she is rewarded when the stars turn into coins that fall from the sky.

If playable crow mauler came before playable Tanaka I would become physically ill

Old Moonless Sprite unironically scared me; I was doing something and looked at the video, and saw that wolf staring into my soul 😭

>arm given to you by the nameless YO PLANESCAPE TORMENT REFERENCE????

Indeed prison guards used to twist and mold your body into unimaginable shapes a long time ago also the Carotid Artery used to be in the game. a lot of events got scrapped which is saaad like the D'arce one .. oh a lot of D'arce events are gone tbh I remember them vividly or 0_0 Cahara events even my god and also that alternative moonless portrait.. it feels familiar weirdly huh.

Maybe the cut day and night cycle was meant for the city of Mahabre, but was eventually turned into the present and past mechanic.

There's an mod which makes the crow mauler more terrifying by making it follow you in real time... Scawy 💀💦

10:22 there are two Chinese stories that I can think of - the first can be found in English schoolbooks. Then there’s also the giving tree in Western lore. It tells of a rich male heir who was so saddened by poverty, he gave a gold ingot to everyone he saw. One day, he had nothing left and sat next to a beggar he helped before. When he asked for some money, the beggar didn’t have any to give. The second is of a man who was always so nice to others, he helped a wolf out of a pit without considering how the wolf might eat him when he came out. The final, the Giving Tree, is of a tree that gave its apples, branches, lumber, and all for a boy.

FUCK YEAHHHH NEW FRAPPOLO VIDEO

I believe there's still text about the Nameless Traveler in the game, if you ask about "Nameless" in the hall of the new gods. I remember trying it to see if there was some cool lore about the Nameless Figurine, and getting some weird stuff that didn't seem to fit at all, but mentioned an unlucky "traveler", if I'm not mistaken.

I can't even imagine a patch breaking content as cool as Miasma taking control. On the last patch of all things.

Always a good day when frapollo uploads

The story of the traveller reminds me a bit of “Sint Maarten” or Saint Martin. He has a story about his cloak. He was travelling for a long time and met an old homeless man on the road who was cold in the rain. He decided to cut his cloak in half and give a half to the man. After a while he got to town where he meets another person thats cold and he cuts the rest of his cloak in half again. This happens a couple more times until his cloak isnt worth much anymore.

16:06 sick Lisa rpg reference bro

4:50 it IS copy pasted actually, that dialog describing your death and the attack as a whole was used by the guards in older demos but was later replaced by mad rush, those demos seem to be lost now but there's still footage of it on youtube

I know the story of the stupidly generous traveler you wanted to know about! I remember that I watched an anime called Fruits Basket when I was a teenager. In it there is the story called "The Most Foolish Traveler in the World" A foolish traveler is on a journey. “Foolish” because he’s easily tricked by the people he meets in each town. On this trip he’s tricked out of his money, his clothes, even his shoes. The traveler is so foolish that whenever the townspeople lie, saying “this will help”, tears roll down his cheeks and he says, “I’m so happy for you!” Finally, he has no clothing left. The traveler is so embarrassed that he continues his journey only through forests. He meets monsters who live in the woods. Monsters who use clever words on the traveler so they can eat him. Of course, the traveler is so dumb that he willingly gives an arm and a leg. In the end, the traveler is just a head. He gives his eyes to one final monster. As the monster munches on his eyeballs, he says, “Thank you. To show my gratitude, I’ll leave you with a present.” But that’s a lie too. The present is just a slip of paper with the word “idiot” on it. Still, the traveler sobs tearfully through his sockets. “Thank you, thank you! No one’s ever given me a present before! This makes me so happy. Thank you, thank you!” The tears keep pouring out of his empty eye sockets. Then, the traveler died, the smile still on his face.

10:15 the story is also in "fruits basket" (anime) but it ends with the traveler giving is body as food for the goblins.

I think maybe the flashlight could be a translation error. Since Torch is both the word for an actual torch like in the game, but can also be a more niche way of saying flashlight. So it might just be some google translate weirdness.

Nobody’s going to talk about Francois just… going in as soon as he was mentioned? Alright then

You should make a special ringtone version of you yelling "FEAR AND HUNGER!!!"

0:08 Damn, this yellow mage needs to cool down💀

Are you thinking of "The Giving Tree" It's a story about a tree that cares for a little boy who constantly takes and takes from the tree until finally it's only a stump.

So sad that they didn't add the Battle with enki marriage and ragnavolder possed by the flower. It give me some termina vibe for some reason

Girl's Dungeon Nights route would have been all about finding spray bottles, cigarettes, etc to ward off Pocketcat, who you must then in turn use in order to kill the lesser enemies such as Minecraft youtubers as a sort of 'RPGMaker reimplementation of Dark Esau from Isaac', if you're familiar. I know this cause I asked Miro in a dream

Have you ever seen Fruits Basket? There's a scene where the characters talk about the 'Most Foolish Traveler in the world' that matches that Fairy Tale, but I don't know where the author got it from.

It isn’t on the code, but I can recall at least three playable characters that Miro wanted to add to the game but didn’t in the end. One was a penance knight, another was a female virgin mage, and then he wanted to add a vampire (back in the day when Cahara was going to be a vampire hunter. It’s strongly belived that Seleste took the role of the original vampire character). I may be wrong though, or there could be more unimplemented characters I don’t know about Anyways, great video as always 🔥

We definitely need a mod that gives every enemy a coin flip attack

ik im late to the vid but in the demo thats the guards normal coin flip attack text and effect and if i remember correctly you couldnt guard any coin flip attacks in the demo

i love how your intro gets slightly more unhinged each video

At first the story reminded me of "a rich man who gave everything" from Fargo, but I heard it somewhere else before, maybe even from old testament? Basically a story about how you have to care about yourself to be able to help others. But I also found out that the goblin version is from an old manga called "Fruits basket", literally 1 to 1. Guess that reference was too obvious.

Guard Break skill somehow reminds me of Break mechanic in Black Souls 2, It would be interesting if it work like in Black Souls 2 but when enemy is prompted to use coin flip attack instead🤔🤔🤔

Hypothesis about the black vial: In the previous video I commented that Isayah's new god power was to cause the plague in order to control the people. What would the vector of the plague be? Could it be the black liquid? It's clearly oil in the game, but... not exactly; if you mix it with blood you can make a Fetus in the dungeon. Plus there's already oil (mix with black vial to make murky vial). ... perhaps the black liquid IS Isayah's body/plague/whatever?

dont know about that first part in the story but ive definitely seen the goblin bit in multiple doujinshis 👍

Probably not what you are looking for, but there's a book from 2002 by Julia Donaldson called The Smartest Giant in Town. The story is very similar to that of the traveler. If it's not the same story, maybe it got the same inspiration

Minor update: I started playing palworld bc of your video and I love it

Though it just a little detail (but bring a whole new plot to the lore) i do want to give my man Cahara that feat of capturing Lg and to see what happen when Rag, D'arc and Cahara in the same party

Really cool video man, I love watching F&H content made by you. Keep it up!

Wow that's really cool, I had no idea there was a slightly different dark priest lantern attack!

I haven't even played the game and one of your videos popped up. You're entertaining so I watch them all.. with absolutely no context. It's glorious

Frapollo fears no man but phase step scares him

The irony shakespeare's coin flip was in the demo by the guard

It’s interesting how some of these might have been developed more and worked into Termina (like the day/night cycle)

I've always been a fan of cut/unused content. It's fascinating to see how a game was or was going to be. Only thing I'd add to this video are the steam achievements that used to exist, but I think an update broke them or something

Frap you may be new to F&H you may not have been their at the beginning but you have done so much to help others learn about Fear & Hunger secrets and all heck even understand how it's coded you've done alot for this community and it honestly wouldn't be the same without you.

I remember hearing the Foolish Traveler story in the Fruits Basket Anime/Manga, one of the characters was using the story to describe the main character Tohru because she was always so nice to everybody

Subbed because of Super Eye Patch Wolf... he is how I learned of the game. After watching him stream with your guidance, I'm considering playing it. Regardless, you're one helluva personality; I'm glad to sub and watch.

If one day someone implemented back the Character Selection of Dungeon Nights that basically means we can escape the Dungeons of Fear and Hunger as well with them with the Lord of the Flies glitch. Gaunt Knight will probably rejoin with Rudimer XD.

"Oh i got this bug cause phase step" id the equivalent of crrsting a partivle acceleratot in sandbox and thinking why the game crashrd

Frappolo: "let's stop talking about Phase Step" [Frappolo uses Phase Step to avoid the conversation]

regarding the foolish traveler, maybe its something like the giving tree? i also remember something closer to this story too, though

10:21 That could be the Goblin Market by Christina Rosetti maybe?

You did in fact pronounce carotid correctly.

I kinda like the unused Moonless sprite, seems more relateable I guess. I like the idea of the guardians having a big hole in their chest! The White Angel is just kind of "there" and there's no clear connection between it and the temple of torment. But the White Angel has a very visible heart in roughly the same area as where their hole is.

The great Frapollo does it again. How do you keep finding new stuff in this game man but it does tell me that the game was made with a lot of love just like this video.

We don't talk about phase step at this table

Frapollo Sunday! Hope you're having a better day today!

nice video i love this kind of stuff from games. Speaking of glitches I recently found a game breaking glitch. I'm playing as Darce if that changes anything. When I exit the room where you fight either gro goroth or the girl it warps me out of bounds in the previous room rendering my party unable to do anything but walk around a small space and agro a moonless guard through the wall. I tried to empty scroll learn phase step to fix it, but I think your bug fix mod removed phase step or something cause I couldn't get it to work.

Irmão eu sou brasileiro é amo seus vídeo graças as legendas do KZfaq eu consigo ver seu vídeo traduzido, infelizmente no Brasil não temos tanto conteúdo de fear and huger como na gringa, eu amo seus vídeos um salve do Brasil!!❤

I would like, besides Crow Mauler being playable as self, get a game mechanic similar to the one with the Gaunt Knight, where you can give a potion of mind and make him remember who it was, Captain Rudimer (if isn't mispelled), and also make him recruitable 😯 that would be freaking awesome! 😎✨

Playable crow mauler could've been a cool what if campaign where you can fight all the new gods and the kaiser

Yo, Frapollo, did you ever interview the game dev about the game? If not, please look after it, it would be so nice to see the master of fear and hunger talk to the creator of fear and hunger.

Really love the way you pronunce miasma (meow-sma) ))

OMG DUDE THAT REFERENCE TO DRAW TOGETHER!!!!!!😂😂

I wonder if "The Nameless Traveller" Story was meant to be a reference or more twisted version of Oscar Wilde's "The Happy Prince"

Warmest regards from The Finalists.

my guy uploaded right before I have to speed to work because I'm late :( but this is getting watched twice js

Frapllos videos to start the day of great :D

I can't believe that Grape Horse got cut from the game

The story was about a hare that was traveling because it needed to bring cigars to heal someone (i think to heal someone or just needed to do something with them,also it was like 1800 so people thought that cigars were medicinal), so some other hare sare saw the traveller and asked him to give him one and the traveller hare kindly gave him one and that was it, but the hare kept impersonating other people with costumes and voice acting to keep coming back to the traveler to ask for one cigar, which the traveler hare always gave away, until the traveller hare wanted to smoke one cigar when he opened the cigar box he realized there was no more cigars then the traveller hare felt very sad and the other hare saw him cry and didnt give a damn, it went something like this

For what its worth Frap, your pronunciation of carotid artery was spot on.

The “Nameless Traveler” is 100% inspired by the german Grimm fairytale “Sternentaler”. It tells the tale of a young girl that is very poor, but is so kind and selfless that she gives away her food and clothes to other people in need until she is left with nothing herself. In the end she get rewarded for her kindness by the stars raining gold coins and gifting her a new silk dress. I have seen the story be twisted into a more depressing tale, similar to “The Nameless Traveler” a few times, where people basically just scam the poor selfless person in the story out of all their belongings.

Imagine playable crowmauler in dungeon nights, then using the glitch (intended?) Way of getting a dungeon nights character into the real game

🎉🎉🎉Fantastic work

10:25 i think it story of st louis or something. at least in my school it the person who who donate everything and trade good cloth for rag is the saint louis and he just join the church after that so there is no globin or angel

im norwegian and im sure they told us a story like that in school as a cautionary tale to not be too naive or something i dont remember the name of it tho😭 but i seem to remember him dying in it or being tricked into hanging himself to «learn how to fly» or sum😭😭

The story you are talking about at 10:20 is by Gianni Rodari, from the Telephone Tales series. Can't remember the exact name, though.
