hiiihihii!! im backkkk to tell u abt my rdr playthough bc im bored asf haha

¡love this game omg!! the graphics, the story, the details UGH!!!!

hunting is actually so fun for no reason- i bought so many fancy ass guns too 😭

also my play type whenever i play ANY story game thats open world is to do every possible thing every except the actual story so i get a bunch of stuff and then its so muvh easier

in short i have 6000+ dollars 😋

bonus of exploring everything is i got thw white arabian and i love her sm ‼️‼️ i named her pearl and she is my baby

dress up is my seconf favorite hobby

my fav outfit rn is the red vest w the floral pattern on the front (i forget what its called) n the black french dress shirt underneath + the bison necklace talisman

(also arthur w medium-long length hair n short facial hair>>>)

this game is so detail oriented, its kind of insane- im doing a high honor run atm, and i came across the blind beggar for the third (?) time and the blind guy said and i quote

"that is which killing you will finally help you, friend- to hear and see."

is this foreshadowing this feels like foreshadowing

also ik arthurs dies (bc of tiktok edits and fics, they artists in this fandom is amazing!!!) and im not prepared at all 😭 im going to procrastinate so bad

ALSO CHARLES DESERVES SO SO MUCH I LOVE HIM

yk the hole lil speech he has at the campfire yk "most human beings seem to know why they were born but, for me- its seems i was just mean ton hurt and suffer myself" that one

im bawling istg if he doesnt get a good ending im going to be writing a formal complaint to rockstar games

anyways

tw opinions (ik bro its crazy to have opinions in 2024 whattt no wayy)

ive gotten to the point in playing where im in ch 3, and the only way i can progress the actual story is to help micah rob a stagecoach or whatever

micah is a bastard and i dont like him

him as a character is rlly well written and awesome but,,,,,hes,,,slimy,,and i hate him,,,,so he can wait for a little longer ☺️

my favorite characters rn in no particular order is

arthur (obviously) , charles , sean , javier , tilly , marybeth , and kieran

my pookies ‼️‼️

moving on im so sorry this is so so long 😭 idk anyone who likes rdr irl lmao

anyway hope u have a nice day and no wolves attack you and spoke ur horse who bucks you off a cliff

(in rdr btw)

((true story also))

yo, having 6k in chapter 3 is amazing. good for you!

my first playthrough i got the white arabian and i named her Lemoyne Tree as a tribute to the state of Lemoyne and my favorite post malone song Lemon Tree. But she always got super dirty so i then went to the lake next to Strawberry and tamed the red chestnut arabian. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that one, she's gorgeous and arthur always gets that one when i play it. my beautiful baby girl Diablo <3

also yes. heckin FUCK MICAH BELL. even from the beginning he's been a slime ball. hate that man <3

i won't go too far, but just keep yourself high honor towards the end of the game. you need that to be your first ending. :')

Charles deserves the absolute world. just listening to him speak and hanging out with him at camp, and the missions you continue on to do with him throughout the game are so much fun. charles is someone i wish i could have in my real life because he seems like he would be the best person to speak to and hang out with. he is so lovely and down to earth. even arthur says it a couple times throughout the game. charles gets a good ending i promise.

my top blorbos are Arthur, Dutch, Charles, Hosea, and Josiah Trelawny my absolute beloved <33333 just wait until you go on the mission with Charles to find trelawny. one of my favorite missions ever ever ever ever!!

a lot of people dislike dutch, but i love him so much. he is my actual father. i love him.

i also hate john. let me know how you feel about that little greasy weasel of a man. :)))

i'm so so so glad you're having fun and i am very invested, so please continue to keep me updated on what ur doing because i need to live vicariously through you. if i could erase my entire mind and replay the game over and over again for the first time, i totally would

Tagged by @benhargrieves (Thank you by the way!!) I don’t normally do chain posts, but because you are a new mutual and I don’t want to go to bed yet, I might as well!

Rules: Choose any three fandoms and answer the questions, then tag some friends!

I choose:

Gonna do basically the Three Big Hyperfixations of the moment:

1. The Hatchetfield Series

2. The Umbrella Academy

3. Detroit: Become Human

I’ve basically just hit new post and I haven’t read the questions, so here goes!

The first character you loved:

I’m gonna be real with y’all - Most of y’all know me from Starkid content and I’m the owner of Paul Loving House. If I didn’t say it was Paul I would be killed on the spot.

I actually started with loving Five. I am known for being on brand for loving Klaus but that developed because I have extreme empathy for him and saw myself in him only after I watched everything.

Okay, call it cliche or whatever, but it was love at first sight when I saw Connor. Yes, I KNOW he’s literally the first character you see but he’s just so good as a blank slate to play with.

The character you never expected to love so much:

I have to say Wilbur Cross / Uncle Wiley for this one. I actually have discord evidence of me not liking him before I watched Black Friday, and I only started liking him a month after watching, but now? Damn he is such a fun character to look at.

I actually want to say that it’s Allison! I didn’t hate her after watching season one but I didn’t like her either. Then I read the comics and I was sold on her because I was able to take her all in. She grew on me through the books and going through Season two with an appreciation for her really was great!

KAMSKI. FUCKING. KAMSKI. I went in knowing he was twisted because I’ve seen playthoughs before I played and I STILL ended up loving him when I played for myself. I literally went from “I hate you” to “I love and wish to be you” when I played myself and I still hate that it happened like that.

The character you relate to the most:

Before I do this question I need to disclaimer that I kin from all these sources and all these answers are kins BUT I’m gonna explain them so y’all aren’t left in the dark.

General McNamara! He always has to sacrifice himself in part or whole to aid in saving the town, and it ultimately doesn’t stop the town from being destroyed in some way. It’s the desperate energy of wanting to fix everything and not being on standby while the world is crashing down that does it for me.

Klaus, like I mentioned earlier. On the surface, I relate to him as a panromantic nonbinary person, but I also relate deeper as well. I am highly empathetic and I share the need to protect and care for those I care for with him. I am never taken seriously in my actions towards that goal and often that leaves me spiraling.

Connor! With him as a blank slate for most of the game, it’s easy for me to project onto him. Specifically, with each “deviant” action, Connor gains more conflicting energy within him wanting to destroy the thing that makes him what he swore he wouldn’t be until it becomes too much and it takes him over, leaving him as someone who is confused, scared, and wanting to correct every wrong that he has done towards those of his own kind.

The character you’d slap:

TED. I don’t wanna explain, I just want him to shut the FUCK up.

I...don’t think I have anyone I want to slap in TUA - it’s pretty black and white, if i dont like the character, I’d much rather harm them more than a slap. I would want blood.

Look, I like Gavin alot, but I REALLY need to give him a good slap, or like, 10. He’s an interesting character to look at motive wise, but he’s still a dick through and through.

Three favorite characters (in order of preference):

Paul - Emma - Lex

Oh god, uhhhh currently it goes Klaus - Five - Vanya but literally that third space rotates ALOT

Hank - Ralph - Simon

A character you liked at first but don’t anymore:

Honestly? I think it’s Ethan for this one. I think the hype literally was killed for me when I realized he wasn’t as much as a prominent character as I somehow hyped him up to be.

I don’t think I have anyone who I’ve lost appreciation for in TUA? I can’t think of anyone...

Lowkey? No hate on me but I really care for Markus anymore. I used to really love him as a character, but that love died out alot. I don’t hate him, but I am more neutral on him and I wish that wasn’t the case.

A character you did not like at first but now do:

I wanna be real with you. I didn’t really feel anything for Bill for awhile, but the more I watched the more I appreciated him as a character and he’s now one of my favorite father figures in any media I’ve seen

Since my initial reactions to everyone, I have gathered appreciation for Luther and started caring about Diego alot more than I used to!

THE JERRIES!!! I was terrified out of my mind when I played the first time, but they have grown on me so much and I’m proud to say that they deserve love!!

Three OTPs:

I am not answering this purely because I don’t do alot of otp shipping. It’s usually triads, bicycle ships (one character is a “bicycle” character) or no strong shipping at all!

I don’t wish to tag anyone, but feel free to do this yourself!!

Chapter 5

In this chapter you learn that a disinherited son of a noble house has stolen a Hero’s Relic and you are tasked with getting it back.

Before setting off for the first week, Byleth hit level 10 in the previous chapter and is now ready for an Intermediate class. I’ve elected to go with Thief.

Not only did I pass, but the minimum speed stat for a thief is apparently 11, and since I had a lower speed then the minimum it automatically boosted me to the proper level, It helps to offset all those terrible level ups I’ve been getting.

Week 1: Explore

Starting off with my usual explore phase ritual, I watch all the new supports I’ve unlocked, Go around and collect all of the quests and blue items scattered around the grounds. I check the garden, Asked Petra to join me this month again, asked her to tea, did choir practice, ate a meal with Petra and Lysithea, and ate another with Hilda and Lorenz. All in all nothing spectacular, accept for one minor detail…

AHHHHHH GHOST IGNATZ!?

Well to be perfectly honest when you lose a character this early in the game they are not technically ‘dead’ they just get injured and retire from combat. Apparently they still show up at the monastery, but you cant interact with them in a meaningful way. You cant give them gifts, or return their lost items. You cant invite them to meals, or observe their supports. Soooo, I’m still going to treat him as dead. This apparition is a lingering fragment of his being put here to make me feel bad for not protecting him better.

Week 2: Battle

In the second week, I chose to battle. I only have 1 action point for this phase, and I have 2 quests that need to be finished. Clearing the Way is a quests that unlocks additional merchants, and Maintaining Your Training doesn’t unlock anything meaningful. Try to guess which one I picked.

This map is the exact same map we’ve run a couple times all ready. They used it for that one fog battle. Strategy wasn’t anything special but here are the highlights

The level ups were nothing spectacular, but they were better than nothing. Byleth was the MVP

Week 3: Explore

Happy Birthyday, Leonie

Exploring again, 5 AP.

Trained Swords with Catherine, and Rhea. Choir practice then a meal with Leonie and Ingrid, and a second with Lorenz and Hilda.

Assignment

Before starting the assignment Petra asked to join my house as a full member.

I accepted, obviously

With the assignment started, we tracked the bandits the stole the relic to an old tower in the Kingdom Territory.

This mission is unique in that there are several reinforcements that appear through out the map. Some of them will ambush you, and attack you the turn they appear. To make matters even worse, the ambushers also have Pass, meaning they can team up on your weakest members and there is generally little you can do about it. So we need to move forward with that in mind.

To help augment our forces Lady Rhea sent a knight with us. Gilbert is a Fortress Knight, and because of that carries a massive shield and axe. He is meant to be a tank of sorts.

For this I really wish I had a capture card so I could have recorded it. I’ll try to go into the strategy I used, but it is a little difficult only having screen shots.

Derp

You start off at the bottom of the map in a checker pattern. There are 3 units to the east in your immediate way: 2 to the north east and 1 on the other side of the wall in front of a treasure chest. Before you start clearing out units though, make sure you turn on the enemy danger areas. Specifically turn on the red markers for the 4 archers in the center of the map. This is important because if you (Or Gilbert) stop moving within range of one of those archers, not only will they hurt you, they will also aggro every other unit on the map to get to you. It cost me 2 Divine pulse to learn this lesson.

Do NOT stop within range of any of these archers.

My first goal was to clear out the three in front of me and bunch my self in the hallway so as to create a choke point for the first two waves of reinforcements.

By the time the first wave arrives you want to have your formation looking something like this. Put your tanks in the bottom row, pack in your mages in the second row, and your long range archers in the third row. This will make the enemies take on your tough units first instead of running though you and hitting the back rows. Strike with the achers/mages first where there is no retaliation, finish injured units off with your melee when you can kill them off without a counterattack happening. Damage the mages with high resistance units and finish them off in the same manor.

Once you move into this formation the first wave will appear and attack. If you did it quick enough, Gilbert will take the brunt of their attack. This is what you want. Sad as it may sound, you want Gilbert retreating from this battle. If he survives it he WILL aggro the archers on the hill. It’s just the way his programming works. You cant control him, and the only way to prevent him from stopping in one of those squares is to stand in them yourself, which defeats the entire purpose.

In my run Gilbert did not survive the first wave, but he did get a lucky crit and took one of them out for me.

Clearing out the initial 3 units, and the 3 remaining units of the first wave netted me the following levels

Lysithea, you are my most deadly unit, but if you keep up these levels you wont be for long.

Close up of the formation

Take the time to heal up. When you are ready, move one unit to this square to spawn the second wave

When the second wave spawns, take it the same way you took the first one. Clear out the second wave and use the key your found (or a thief) to open the chest for an Armorslayer sword. It will come in handy later.

The second wave got me these levels.

A solid level

After clearing out the second wave I pushed forward. There was a lone mage sitting in the middle of the hallway, I baited her out with Marianne who had the best Res in the army. She was able to tank her attacks without taking a single point of damage, your mileage may vary on that. Note: The healer on top of the hill did heal this mage, and I was afraid it would agro the entire hill, but that wasn’t the case. Once we killed the mage the healer did run around the hill towards me, but he didn’t bring anyone else with him. You can start setting up for the next ambush point while you wait for him to make it to you.

Setting up in this formation is perfectly safe, the ambush will not happen until someone from the formation steps beyond this first pillar, so watch that you don’t step past it until you are ready to engage.

Once you do engage, 2 thieves will jump out of the wall to the east and one mage will approach from the west. The mage is too far to be a threat at this point, but if you followed my formation above and moves the entire formation 1 square west to spawn the ambush then the thieves will attack your two rightmost units. In my case this was Claude and Byleth. Each thief got off one attach, ate the counter attack of both, then I was able to pick apart the ambushers. Gaining me the following:

Marianne, come on 😦

I am not sure what specifically triggered the second wave from this spot, but it involved 2 more thieves from the exact same spot without anyone having to move. At this point the mage from the west caught up to me so I had 3 units to deal with. Clearing them out got me the following levels:

Once you get past this part the rest of the level up to the boss is pretty straight forward. Just take your time, take it one mob at a time, and if you can help it do not take any damage on the player turn. Move the rest of your army forward and progress.

From this point to the boss I gained the following levels:

Not off to a great start, Petra 😦

Marianne, no.

See, this is what the rest of you should be aiming for. Good job, Leonie

Leonie took out Michlan with this shot, AND she got a superior level up

With Leonie’s arrow Michlan was defeated, but he wasn’t quite ready to let defeat claim him. He attempted to use the Hero’s Relic he has stolen, but because he didn’t possess a crest of any kind it transformed him into a giant beast.

Using the last remaining gambits, I was able to break all four of his shield plates, which rewarded me with 5 umbral steels. I also got one of his health bars down.

Byleth was able to take a second of his health bard with a crit with the Sword of the Creator

Lorenz finished the beast off with a well placed Fire Spell

46 turns? If felt like it took a lot more than that.

I went extremely slowly in this run. I basically walked around the entire arena in formation being careful of additional ambushes. I only ran into the 4 total waves, I dont know if there are others that I didn’t trigger, but even going as slow as I did I only used a bit over half of the total turns available to me.

Take it slow and you can get through this without losing anyone.
