and one on Chef feels weird. Yeah, the fact you have to recall it, it's so weird. I think you just hit this right away. Let's see it 'cause you, uh, you'll get enemies spawning during it. You lose gold, but you'll get regular enemies to spawn, and then the enemies from the pillar also give you all the gold. So, I think it's better to hit this right away. Woohoo! All right, finally. How much money does this guy give me? I wonder if he gives you the entire Shrine worth of money. I doubt it, but I'm at 4 minutes, by the way. Those things take a while, kind of weird.

Lasering. What did heck is that? Yo, where my probes? There they are. Probes are back, boys. The probes are back in [Music] town. I like the new damage numbers. Uh, okay. He's not lasering me. We're good. I'm calm down. I'm going to get behind cover just in case he kills it and flicks to [Music] me, dude. Where is

Don't you come around this pillar, young man. [Music] Stay away. Stay away. Step back. Step away. Where's the other pillar? Um, I don't have a pillar. Hello. There it is. Oh, yo. What if you have no movement items? What if you have no hobo feather, no energy drink, no go H? What are you supposed to do? Wait. [Music] What? Yeah, you have to hit those pillars to get your abilities.

I could have roll no. Oh, I didn't realize time was pausing The Zone. That's really good. That's actually really good. I did not know time was pausing this uh. So if you have a lot of movement speed, you might want to farm this stage out cuz there are a few like large chests and stuff. False sunf fight. There You Go full fight uh dude that is kind of overtuned. I think I died to him three times before that. I think that was the fourth attempt. He's kind of overtuned um. The slams do a lot of damage. They knock you back like crazy and then if he slams you into the laser beam like slams you, you're flying back and then he laser beams you, which he can lock on at any range by the way. It's not

like you have to be close-range like a Titan. He can lock on from any distance. If you get slammed and you're in the air and you get lasered, you're just dead. All right, uh, what do I want to do? Store an item in the artifact of rebirth. Storing an item replaces any item stored within. Activating the artifact of rebirth will gift the item to the Survivor. Oh, so you get an... wait, Petra Cor. That's the moon, right? Okay, so you can send one item to the moon. What is it for any run though? Wait, wait, wait, wait. Is it for any run or no? If the artifact is enabled. Oh, oh, that's kind of cool. Okay, so Petore 5 is the planet. Okay, so this artifact lets you always have one item. Can I just gu a PO loot for myself? So you start each run with like a poly loot or something. Whatever you want. A Do's best friend. I can send the Dos right now. Interesting. I guess we're doing it right. Offer item. Give me my Di's best.

friend, so if I use that artifact, I should get it right. All right, oh, are we gone? Are we gone? Or is that the Run? Wait, I didn't want to be done. No, was that it? That's fine. Gifted with rebirth. I probably should have done that if I wanted to keep the round going. All right, what's the skin look like? Wa-wait, that dude, that looks pretty sick. Yo, we got to go in-game. Hold up. [Music] Cinematic. Okay, okay. I-I don't know how I feel about the color scheme. Color scheme, uh, I don't know what it is. Maybe it's like that teal trim. That's kind of cool though. Game is so cinematic. Look at that. Look how cinematic that is. Boom. [Music]
