You Want To Get Beat? Hurtily? | Limbus Company Part 6 - Foreman Plays Stuff 

"I'm pretty rad, aren't I?" discord.gg/foremanplaysstuff

I think the main reason the dungeon lacked a proper final battle is because Rodya was not prepared to overcome and accept her past. All her life she has been a refugee, running away. And this time is no different.

It's so nice from PM to put bugs in the game as an excuse to give Foreman Lunacy. You want to pull IDs? Maniacally?

"lesser but not to the point of being a problem" is a pretty great point of reference for Cantos 1&2 in comparison with the rest. Not really anything WRONG with them, they're fun and engaging, but they also can't hold a candle to what comes next.

I was so hype you got Der Shootis... and then... not even Malkuth, the fucking cannibals... Sorry, friend....... You've got my condolences.

Wow. The only person I know of who has ever pulled the Pierre and Jack Announcer, and its the person it was probably *least* "meant for". The irony is intense

It's funny that when you think about it, Dante blowing the wish stickers was actually lucky. Since if he had ended up at the game like initially planned he would've gotten flattened like the Tieqiu boss. So maybe the wish stickers were working as intended all along?

You know the prosthetic that the crew boss was using is the same type ayin put the sepirot into, Meaning... AYIN IS A CHEAP SKATE

I dont believe it can anymore, but the boss of this dungeon was able to show up in weeklies and everyone hated it

Just for a quick reminder K corp made the HP bullets in Lob corp

So for the abno in this dungeon! You must become strong might be related to "You must be happy" in L corp since they all about upgrading the body and minions but that's just a theory Now Pink shoes is definitely related to Red Shoes with the only thing change is that this one is about desire rather than blood. The shoes even take over one of the robot from the previous abno to use for its fight. Neat Baba Yaga's whole fight is about running away from your problem which is the same thing Rodya did. Pretty neat

Btw, the way check works is like an attack roll. For the 1:07:10 check, as both Hong Lu and Rodya needed 2 heads coins and are both on 30 SP, they actually had equal chance (of about 64%, just barely qualifying for "High" category). You can imagine it's almost like clashing against an attack with the required amount as the power. For checks which you have "advantage", you get to fight the raw number, while the number you fight are raised (+1, +2, *2 etc.) if you picked a skill of disadvantageous affinity. P/s: I want more Cinqlair content.

1:43:40 that's actually because in dungeons your E.G.O resources dont reset after each battle

Regarding Yurodivie, i think there were some reasons for them not to find the legitimate work -- maybe the Middle didn't want any small fries on it's turf, or whatever: Sonya doesn't strike me as a type to deliberately ignore the chance to help the common folks. And they did something -- they became a Syndicate. Apparently, that didn't pay the bills though. Maybe due to the sheer ridiculous amount of taxes: can't say i've crunched the numbers, but it seems like a lot for a small town, plus the Fingers are known to charge the exhorbitant fees for their protection. Hence the long, long game to overthrow the system as a whole. That's what i can come up wtih anyway.

A game always needs a setup in order to truly express itself, and the first two chapters are those setups. We established the stakes in the first, and established the Sinners in the second. The third is where it gets started, the Hydraulic Press moment, the Love Town moment where it all clicks and you see the game for its potential. I’m probably sounding like a very convincing parrot to what everyone else is saying, but what does it matter, I love this game and love expressing that sentiment.

you might have figured it out already but HAVE YOU BECOME STRONG is an abberation of you must be happy from lob corp, and the pink shoes are an abberation of the red shoes (shocking i know)

For probably the weakest canto in the game, it was still a ton of fun. Can't wait for the future episodes from ya

1:13 hes growing up so fast brings a tear to my eye becoming one of us gacha addicts ❤

HARDCORE HOME DEPOT MUSIC LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO Also someone fid trying adding N corp to darkest dungeon but then their harddrive exploded and they lost 90% of their assets, which i am saddened by

The way I see chapters 1 and 2 is Chapter 1 works as an introduction to the hell that is the city, and chapter 2 works to both show that Limbus may be humorous from time to time and that despite the horrible cesspit that is the city, people are still capable to have fun because the horrors are so normal people are indifferent to them if they aren't hit by them. Sadly, with chapters 1 and 2 being more introductions to the setting than anything else, they are a bit underwhelming, at least compared to the later chapters. No spoilers, just, you'll see for yourself if you get to them... ... And someone already told you that. And you even said it on the video. Well shit. Too late on the draw I guess.

I honestly thought Foreman would get Magic Bullet Outis. Unfortunately, he got cucked by Pierre and Jack. (Crew boss got the enoch treatment R.I.P)

Hey foreman, I don't really comment but I thought I'll tell you some stuff! Been watching you since your start on ruina and was extremely happy seeing you play limbus! Do you know remember the emotion system in ruina? While not exactly the same, high sanity and high emotion gives higher chance of rolling heads/high roll so! At 0 sanity the chances of heads is 50%. And that amount scales accordingly. +10 sanity means 50+10=60% chance to roll heads. +45 sanity means 50+45=95% for heads. And -30 sanity means 50-30=20% chance to roll heads chance. In dungeon, health and sanity carry forward between fights. So try to get high sanity in normal fights so when you reach the boss you have better chances of rolling heads! Skills like N-Corp Don skill 2 (the green skill, huge hammer smash you like) has a low base value but if you roll heads the ceiling is very very high. Thus on lower sanity you should avoid using it as losing clashes do not give you sanity, per clash win is a +10 sanity. Start by building high sanity, and once you're up there at +45 it's a 95% chance to hit all the huge clash power of that skills 2 (once again, green/gluttony skill) Canto 3 onwards is going to start to get more and more difficult. While I won't stop you from trying out different identities, do not feel frustrated that you can't beat said fights. Here's a good estimate: every 3 level difference is +1 power up for the enemies attacks. Since all skills offense level is based on your level, in general 3 offense level = 1 clash power. Tldr for the best experience, do not be 3 levels lower than the enemies, 2 levels is fine. Final tip for you. In the final fight you tried to use Seven Heathcliff skill 2 (purple skill) to stagger the enemy. Provided it rolls heads, it is definitely alot more damage. But for some reason it cannot stagger the ice prisoner enemies but his skill 1 can. Try to remember about ruina. Different enemy have different weakness resistances. Thus, certain attack types are more likely to deal more damage if the enemy is fatal to it. Do take note of that as you delve into canto 3. Lastly, I don't think this is a spoiler (not a story spoiler) but you know how you like to do all nodes in the dungeon? From canto 3 onwards there is a "purpose" to do extra nodes in the dungeon. Specifically giving you more interesting fights and side missions for more EGO gifts so do explore! Excited to see your limbus journey, hope you had fun!

Hehehehe funny abno name

One thing some people miss in the final boss fight of this dungeon: The status on the frozen enemies is indeed a countdown until the gigantic abnormality wrecks you and insta-game overs you. The name of this abnormality that you don't even get to fight? Well, the status's name is "Baba Yaga is coming..." So, yeah. Baba Yaga, probably the first ALEPH tier Abnormality we see in Limbus. And we only see one leg of her/it. I think that's a neat way of showing how different Alephs are compared to Waws and lesser abnormalities. When an Aleph is on the loose, you don't stick around to fight, you get the heck out of there!

2 HOURS OF LIMBUS COMPANY HELLLLLL YEAHHHHHH

New IDs for me to review! As usual, reviewed at UT3/UT4, so here we gooo~! Also you got the announcer Pierre and Jack... I'm not sure if I should be happy for you or depressed. They're rare, but definitely not an ID... N. Corp Mittelhammer Rodion: If Don Quixote was the worst N.Corp ID, Rodion is... barely that much better. She's better, but oh dear. General things, her skill rolls are atrocious. A 11 on her S1, a 10 on her S2 and a 12 on her S3 means she will struggle clashing against practically anything that isn't in the single-digits. Her effects are a bit better, focusing mainly on Bleed and inflicting Nails - A special status condition which increases bleed count and gives the enemy 1 bleed. It bears noting that she technically has access to an N.Corp specialty buff, called 'Fanatic'. All N.Corp Ids have access to it, and it raises a Skill's final power by the count that unit has. Useful... only problem is that applying it is more trouble than it's worth most of the time. N.Corp Rodion has the best access to it, but it's locked exclusively on winning a clash on her Skill 2. Which has a value less than her Skill 1. It's not happening. Liu Assoc. Hong Lu: A significantly better ID! While Hong Lu's burn potency application is... lacking, to put it generously, he is the best at applying burn Count, meaning he can keep the damage sustained. He also comes packed with a bit of SP healing on his S1, and... that's about it. He shares the characteristic low-rolls that all the Liu IDs save for one have, so don't expect him to be winning clashes frequently on anything except his S3. Also bears noting that all the Liu IDs at UT4, if they don't already possess it, gain extra Coin Power on a certain amount of Burn Count, so he could be useful for keeping it going... provided you don't decide to bench him for his support passive, which causes the ally with the most SP to inflict +1 Burn Count when they apply effects attached to their coins. Land of Illusion (Hong Lu): One of... like two AoE Base EGO. And it's Blunt. It's a pretty decent roller, min-rolling at a 15, making it decently reliable in most clashes. It also inflicts 5 Sinking, which is neat but pretty inconsequential without any count to back it up, but is functionally -5 SP for your enemy or 5 Gloom damage on enemies with no SP. The passive is... actually pretty alright? It heals the lowest SP ally (excluding anyone in panic) every turn for the highest Absolute Resonance of Sin. In other words, 3~ Sp on average. Sounds relatively worthless, but it's that extra bit of Sanity you might need to win a Clash. It ALSO is literally free sanity-wise, as at UT3 it heals the SP it uses. UT4 technically heals more, but... it's a waste of resources. Crows Eye View (Yi Sang) I'd call this one of the best EGO, at least in the top 5-10 in the entire game (Demonsoul says that Crows Eye View is "one of the better over all, but arguably not one of the best"). Being an 18-24 rolling EGO means it is stupid reliable, and the effect it gives is busted as well. On hit, it gives the enemy 2 Attack Power Down, meaning that their skills roll 2 less the same turn. I don't have to tell you how good that is, and I'd say it's not even the best part- The best part is the Haste it inflicts. It gives all your Allies +3 Haste, making it practically guaranteed that you will be able to outspeed you enemy. This has the effect of... okay I actually didn't know this prior to consulting Demonsoul, but it gives your attacks 'priority', letting you apparently win fights based purely off of the order at which things happen. I didn't know this was a thing. In Focused Encounters it does mostly the same, with the added benefit of letting you say bye to having to take attacks you can't redirect because you'll practically always outspeed. The passive also pretty nifty, giving the enemy who attacks you 3 Bind once per turn and having all attacks that hit an affinity or attack type that is weak or fatal deal 20% extra damage. Forest for the Flames (Ryoshu): Also a really good EGO, though it might not seem as such on paper. At UT3 (well, Threadspin 3 but who's going to get on me for using incorrect terminology?) it's pretty alright, rolling the same as Yi Sang at an 18-24 and inflicting 1 Fragile if you hit heads next turn, which is great, 10% extra damage team-wide will never be bad. At UT4, however... not only does it get +4 extra coin power, that 1 fragile becomes two, with one being guaranteed and the other being inflicted on Heads hit, which is an 85% chance if used at maximum sanity. That is 20% extra damage for the entire team, making it incredibly valuable. The passive is less good, making her deal and take 5% more damage for every enemy she kills, effectively making her a fragile snowball.

baited by the announcer on the extractions. same happened to me, pulled 2 pierre/jacks and a malkuth before finally getting outis after 190 pulls (i had a lot of lunacy. not any more)

Since no one has pointed that out, I will: rewatch the part with Hermann near the end and look at her affiliation. "N Corp".

Congrats on beating Aida on your first try! She was the first fight PM had to nerf in this game, and ever since it's been tradition to nerf nearly every new boss within hours of release at least once XD. I only got to fight one un-nerfed fight so far because the game always updates near midnight in my timezone. Limbus absolutely some fantastic music variety, every Canto has around 3 regular battle themes, a miniboss theme, and a final boss theme, PM/EIM are really popping off with the music in this game i have a bunch of tracks in my playlist already. Your opinion of Canto 2 is generally the consensus, chapter itself was better but the Dungeon was worse, though quite a few people thought that Rodya didn't get any development at all by the end which isn't quite right, she's a gambler with a masterful poker face, the fact that her jovial facade slipped at all at the end shows that the events seriously shook her up, even if she does her best to keep hiding it all under her false confidence. Though i do agree they could have played into that a bit more. Also without giving spoilers you're gonna get real confused in Canto 4 if you keep calling Yi Sang "Sang Yi", just saying. Anyway super excited for you to get into Canto 3, it's where the game really starts to get going in my opinion, if Canto 1 and 2 don't hook someone Canto 3 almost definitely will.

Hey, you now own all 00 N-quisitors! ... that's all I can really say about Nodion. More nails for synergy is appreciated. Hong Liu is the Burn Count inflicter of the group. You really don't need more than one. He also fulfills that role on support, so you could bench him and bring a better clasher instead. You know Jack and Pierre. No gameplay benefits, but the commetary is fun.

OMG fresh Limbus footage :3 Quite an exciting moment, Manager Foreman! POGGERS even!

With the end of Canto 2, you have (soon) unlocked the Mirror Dungeons. Initially, MD was a short affair intended to be run daily. Three floors, you started with three sinners picked from a random selection, got one more every floor. They started at Lv 10, and every so often you had the option to level them up by 5 up to 30. Very much a win-rateable nothingburger that you could get done in fifteen minutes. This wasn't challenging enough, so PM added MD2, which was intended for weekly runs in exchange for BP levels (ergo ego shards) and lunacy. You started out with any 5 IDs you liked, with the option of buying more later. Yes, they included shops for buying and healing IDs, buying EGO gifts, and improving skill distributions. There were five floors, with eventually up to 7 sinners in the party, and every floor slightly improved the enemies' skill power. They also let you buy permanent buffs for yourself. Shortly after that, we got MD2 Hard mode. Enemies start with normal mode 5F buffs, you had to spend cost to get IDs (thereby hard capping you at 3 000s at start), floor buffs for enemies were even more absurd (coin power plus? seriously?), and _there's 6 floors_ this time around. While technically beatable, a couple of 6F bosses were so notoriously tedious that many people simply preferred to quit over actually dealing with them. Fortunately, the rewards for running hard mode over normal only applied to three runs per week, and PM added the option to pay three times the cost to make one run give the rewards for all three of them. MD3 replaced those entirely, and honestly for the better. You'll see. Players quickly mathed it out that, rather than doing pulls, it was far more economical to do the weekly triple MD2H run and spend their lunacy on farming MD2N for the ego shard crates, which lets you just buy IDs and EGO. Seeing how I'm not a roguelike fiend, never spent any lunacy on MDs, and still have over 2k crates, you can tell that this is a stupidly easy way to get anything you want, short of the most recent Walpurgisnacht stuff.

4:22 a full N. corp team is probably the best there is in this game

You should look at statuses far more-if you read Surgery on You must become stronger robots you'd know they cant die from the start. This will be crucial in later cantos and will even completely stop you in your track in a particular battle until you understand how to do it.

Canto 2: Complete! Expect the difficulty to start kicking in soooon. Not much, at the start, but even a modest resistance will be more than what you've seen so far. The recommended level at the start of chapter 2 is 20, which'll gradually increase to 30 through the canto (up to 27 before the dungeon, then up to 30 in the dungeon).

Regarding the reason the Tinglu Boss sucks at his job - keep in mind, this dude is using a box-type prosthetic body. Dude's fucking flat broke or has done this shit before. I 100% believe the body is just a subtle dig on him, saying he has 0 acumen for this.

daaaaam i was looking to see if i made the friends list in the video, sadly nope, i think? you cut off the end so im not sure, i have a feeling i dident though good seeing more great content though

I LOVE THE CITY I LIVE IN I'd also recommend you watch pre nerf aida

I always get impressed by Gregor's VA skill at voicing the lines sounding like they are bad it

btw, how much do you know about the books each sinner is based on? Like, they are not 1:1 to their literary counterparts, but there are some cool parallels or even full on reversals.

As I noted, your point on the tone of Canto 2 is pretty much spot on, but with a slight correction. Canto 1 was the basic intro to the premise Canto 2 was the palate cleanse with some of the more silly aspects of the City Canto 3 is where the trauma you know and love is coming in, so get ready How it is more set out now that they've found their footing is that the main Cantos are largely serious, but with a bit of comedy on the side, while the interludes between chapters is where things get silly. which is a good mix, I think.

You should unlock the Mirror dungeons soon. Since it has new stuff in it, could you please record your first run?

Anyone wanna score goals?, victoriously?

aida got nerfed even! the difficulty spike has fallen....

Canto 3 is definitely where things get juicy~ Can't wait to see your continued journey through it! Rodion and Gregor definitely have a second Cantk set for them, guaranteed. Their Cantos in "Inferno" set their pasts up and their ties to currently active adversary organizations (Hermann and her group and the Yurodivy). If we're gonna follow the Divine Comedy, then their theorized "Second Cantos" in "Purgatorio" are gonna continue on their loose ends some more. But that's just a theory, a PM theory! MatPat may not be dead, but he definitely won't be forgotten

*sees title* Gotta check if there are new soccer highlights

5:46 Dammit Foreman, these random stuff you come up in the moment crack me up.

Foreman, for future story dungeons run, DON'T do all the rooms. There's no reward outside of beating them in the story mode. It'll keep the burn out down too.

New ID overview N-Corp Rodya: She's N-Corp. Bleed is vary weak at the moment, and although nails (N-Corp's unique bleed) can be built around, a nails team works more due to the overwhelming power of the relevant OOOs (Faust and Sinclair), rather than their trademark gimmick being necessarily good. Hong Lu: Burn Count. Basically any damaging status gimmick needs a good "count" applier to work, and Hong Lu is this for burn. That said... he's more commonly used for his support passive, where he basically fills his role without needing deployed to the field. If you ever get Liu Association Ishmael, Hong Lu's support passive will let her work quite well without any other burn-dedicated units. Seriously: Liu Association Hong Lu's Support Passive is one of the best in the game. It takes his vary valuable niche that a team built around his gimmick salivates over and... let's basically any burn-focused identity fill that role. Caveat: Hong Lu makes Burn easy to use, but it's damage potential is almost entirely wrapped up in "Dark Flame", a unique burn that can only be applied by Lobotomy E.G.O::Magic bullet. Burn unloads it's damage vary slowly, but "Dark Flame" deals a potentially massive burst of damage based on built-up burn.

Been enjoying your playthrough so far, and watching you do pulls at the start of most episodes. Cant wait to see your reaction pulling your first E.G.O. …and what that first pull will be

I am a bit miffed you take Rodion's words at face value. Yurodivy changed its focus to a broader scope and needs to spend some of its time and effort in research and discussion, of course Rodion who is unhappy with the change interprets it as armchair revolution and all talk no action. They most likely did help the neighbours feed themselves, but a fixer office can't feed a whole backstreets worth of people, especially with how even half decent zwei associate fixers have job droughts.

Woohoo! Canto 2 done! Now we can get to the fun stuff. Sidenote though, I agree that this chapter's dungeon is the weakest one in the whole game. That is to say, they get much better.

You really trust the combat estimations too much. You really should be reading what the attack powers are to know exactly how close a clash is. Especially since if you're up against a multi coin hit you reduce the hits if they only partially win.

Hey yo! The factory abnoramity that you fought in the dungeon is closely related to the zayin abnoramity "You must be happy" From lobotomy corporation

Hey, both TS!UNDERSWAP V2 and DELTATRAVELER V3 are out! Are you going to play them?

Some advice thatbi hopen is useful: When doing a team try to always have the right color to reliably do one or 2 egos just in case. Alway try to bring a reliable clasher so far your best one is sinclair id. Uptide is as if not more important that level.

Hey foreman,once again,good video! did you forget to claim the exe rewards from canto 2 or did you do it off camera?

Foreman will never get der friechutz, it is the will of the city

You are so luckly unluck

Watching Foreman keep pressing 'Yes' on You Must Become Strong, while Ryoshu has only 14 HP... I was just screaming at the screen for him to stop and start pressing 'no' (If you press no three times on it, the factory shuts down without issue)

Next time... the real fun begins!

Rodion Raskolnikov moment. (Crime and Punishment by Fedor Dostoyevski (or however you spell his name in English)) I wonder if every sinner is based on a literature character and if it's possible to find the full list somewhere... Another literature thing I picked up on when playing: the bossfight actually did have a time limit for how quickly you have to get through the waves and if you linger too much you get a warning for "Baba Yaga" reaching/crushing you in a few turns, Baba Yaga being a russian folklore character living in the woods in a hut on chicken legs.

common foreman dubs

19:40 top left corner

11:00 yup... i knew that robot boss is the same robot from sephirah robots... even the second tipheterth death happend

Nice

Rodion has this energy of character nobody dislikes, but also character that is nobody's favorite. She's fun, she's there, she does stuff, and is never really too annoying or out of place. She's the character of all of Limbus Company, really.

some tidbits and trivia -you should know that friend requests will slow your pc as the game is still very poorly optimised and it will eat your ram faster . your call when to accept requests but id recommend the end of the recording -Aida was nerfed twice since release . shame really. we lost el filtero uno -the poker game was a direct inspiration from the book rodya is from ecrime and punishment .even so it was way shorter and because of that didnt had the same effect but thats not what they aimed for here anyways -im suprised that you didnt see the macabre reference given your such a lobcorp nut but the cg for the squish on the boss is incredibly similar to eunoch's (i suppose a inside joke) -the term yurodiviy can be translated as gods fool, christs fool or Holy Fool, one who acts intentionally foolish in the eyes of men -many pressume the plastic fabric is a stab at south koreas plastic surgery trends which all to fitting in contrast to rodyas rather opposing mindset -i just found it funny to mention but book rodya compared himself constantly with napoleon and that he is just as free ro decide to kill if he so chooses and wont feel any remorse . well guess how that worked out in 1900s russia against their tax collector . it is very open ended and c&p still has some subject matter to cover . while i like all the chapters they gotta give rodya some more spice.. -the next book on the chopping block is called demian also , i personally recommend to scout out all the other tiny bits of the menu and check your sinners stats as its gonna be a bit tougher from now on and it will help you in the mirror dungeon grind

This chapter's always been annoying to me. Because Rodion, despite being... pretty much correct about the Yurodivyie considering all we know, is proven wrong by the thematics of the plot. Rodion in Crime and Punishment is a selfish, prideful P.O.S who kills a pawn broker for his own ego, and after serving prison time meets Sonya and they seek redemption together. This chapter, with that implication and all of its own context, including the goddamn mark, is essentially saying that Rodion is wrong, Sonya's right (despite his very obvious villain speech and everything about him saying "Nuh uh"), and that Rodion had very little to possibly no care for her neighbors in reality. Then she literally RUNS from her problems, and the most unsatisfactory ending to a canto in limbus leaves one of my favorite characters in apparently the moral wrong without any form of emotional closure. Also it implies that Rodion is objectively a worse person morally than literally everyone else in the cast of limbus except like, Ryoshu, maybe? Potentially Mersault, if the Stranger is actually followed to a T? Since Rodion's sin is "murder because I wanted to be special :), which I rationalized pre and post as helping my neighbors, which then got them ALL killed" that objectively is more than anything Gregor, Sinclair, Yi Sang, Ishmael, and any of the other characters we even have a glimpse into so far. And concerning the source material, yet again... I don't really see that changing. Even then, there's a difference between Don Quixote maybe acting a lil' crazy and getting someone killed and Rodion, totally in her right and logical mind, killing a person to FEEL special, and then running from the consequences. Thanks PM, for creating the only story in the entire City I thought was actively badly written.

11:23 - Boy, good thing we've never seen such a horrifying sight _ever_ before, right, guys..? 🥲 Edit: HONG LIU LET'S GOOOO ❤️‍🔥
