    Everyone said not to, but too bad. I'm doing it anyway.

    That's right, this is me cataloging myself soloing all of the ToT quests. With the advent of ironman I'm sure this is even less special than it could be (and it's already pretty lame) but I'm still going ahead with the plan.

    I'm even recording the whole thing. Originally I was going to try to edit the video's a bit so they aren't garbage, but then I remembered no one's actually going to watch them anyway.

    Day 16

    The final day it turns out. It took 4 minutes and 3.5 of those were walking.

    Anyway, thus ToT is finished. (Technically another PQ exists before the Pink Bean quest but neither of those are being offered on current source). Hope you all enjoyed it! I'm sure I'll be back with more boring videos on some other topic in the future.



    Oh, and since no one did the bonuses I hid throughout (aside from the one whom I cannot find in game) all remaining items that were to be given away are officially off the table. Sorta. You know me.

    Cool.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Day 15

    Took a little longer so let me explain.
    I first got the advice to stay below Lyka and spam meteor, as he seduces when you get close. The following video is the best attempt.


    Every other attempt was the same but shorter. Indeed, he still seduced you even if you couldn't see him. So I went off to get Hero's Will to combat it.

    That took a while and resulted in a skill with a cooldown of 10 minutes so it wasn't helpful.

    The following was my most recent attempt and based on the assumption that he can't seduce me if I'm always in my invincibility frames from taking damage. This turned out to be false, but apparently was successful anyway.



    So there you go. There's still quests to go (not sure how many) so I'll see ya'll again.

    Cool.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Day 14
    Oblivion 4 done, time for the Boss and whatever comes after. Oh, and whatever I tried for recording seems to have worked, although not DC'ing really helps.

    https://youtu.be/wFWz1tN89JE

    Cool.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Day 13

    Almost nothing of note in this one - getting close to the end of Oblivion and then a couple quests following that.
    And no, you don't get to see me kill the last 6 - this one, for once, was intentional, since I DC'ed and 6 ain't worth it.

    https://youtu.be/eq9paifXsSc
    https://youtu.be/qefeGb2HXmQ

    Can't stop won't stop

    Cool.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Day 12

    In which I really need to figure out how to keep my recording software running the entire time. I've got some ideas, and they are being tested. The first test has clearly failed, but once again I got most of it and you get the gist.

    Oh yeah, and I got bumped by Quicktime for this one - in the middle of a group of enemies. Somehow I didn't die. Still pondering that one tbh
    https://youtu.be/DKgxvnDsfpE
    https://youtu.be/P1X8zSYinLM

    Cool.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Day 11
    In which I
    1) Help out a stranger in the middle of a quest and play it ULTRA safe, resulting in time loss. Not that anyone cares about these quests.
    2) Start at Oblivion 1 - Aren't those attacks supposed to be fire-based? Whatever happened to my elemental resistance...
    3) Don't actually finish at Oblivion 1 because apparently my recording software decided to stop. While saying that it was still going. Again. You get the gist though.

    The first person to name the cool person in this video I'm going to give something to, they can choose between a 96att sky ski or a 12str/2dex clean Pirate OA, for free.

    Answers to FAQs
    1) I am not
    2) Indeed, although many have invited me so far
    3) Professor Plum in the Ballroom with a teacup. Obviously.
    4) That's a tough question. Probably Undertale. Its soundtrack is amazing!
    5) Sometimes! I wrote something for a friend's game about Badminton last year. You can find it here: https://soundcloud.com/averyconcernedsheep/badminton-duel/s-akoYN
    Tbh I'm not super happy with it, but that's the arts, for you. Progress!

    Cool.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Day 10
    In which I kill a horse. It doesn't take very long. Meteor's are slowly becoming OP but also make me exceptionally vulnerable and it's a very different way of keeping myself alive.

    https://youtu.be/mKu25rb-od0

    Btw I picked up a 51watk craven during this run and the first person to say "The sheep are restless this Evening." in a comment below gets it for free.

    Cool.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Day 9
    In which I come to know that sweet sorrow known as failure. Now prepping for next video when I solo a boss again.

    https://youtu.be/517ff8jksPs

    Cool.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Day 8
    In which I completed the whole thing in one run, during day of January 13th, 2016, later known as the DC Riot. Not really anything of note other than that.

    https://youtu.be/Y77b1tg16nA

    Cool.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Day 7
    In which ladders hate me, part 2 is missing, and I try a new skill for the first time. It's not super useful yet. Oh, and lag gets the better of me today.

    https://youtu.be/1I2a8IdZe3U
    https://youtu.be/s2agwKrYKMM

    Cool.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Day 6
    In which I:
    (1) Finish the Memory Keeper Quest but dc before making it back to Three Doors
    (2) Don't realize that the Memory Keeper Quest is done and thus make another video for the "rest of it" (as such, it is 3 minutes long)
    (3) Come to love my poison again. Dear me it's amazing. I also forget to sell all my equips before going so I make very little money.

    https://youtu.be/creOge0bbqw
    https://youtu.be/ypaldKjgxUA
    https://youtu.be/X9PWUVWitVA

    Cool.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Day 5
    Today I killed a whale. It didn't take very long so I tried to keep going but dced again and figured I'd leave it at three videos (three also because dc's and I have no video editing software so I can't combine)

    Fun fact about Dodo - every single one of his attacks is dodgeable. In the third video I do a pretty good job of dodging sometimes.
    https://youtu.be/IID8uc-Fsvg
    https://youtu.be/VYqyKszA8cw
    https://youtu.be/r8WsF7ugdto
    Cool.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Day 4 - the day where for some reason the videos each stopped recording after at most 16 minutes AND the lag cause it to be split into 3 parts.

    Other than that, it was hell. And I came out stronger for it. (Except not, no level gains for me)

    What little video I could salvage follows.
    https://youtu.be/JerCy1bMeQU
    https://youtu.be/FJrmGwu8-R4
    https://youtu.be/gFbcqvYMeJQ

    Was gonna do a game - but the material I would use was lost to the unknown bug that caused a lack of video. Next time I guess.

    Answers to frequently asked questions
    1) Yes
    2) OH YES
    3) definitely not
    4) One day

    Cool.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Day 3 - so it continues. I really can't wait to be able to poison things again.
    https://youtu.be/ezAO5TBHv0A
    https://youtu.be/gtoMOF_MIJ8

    Maybe I should start doing a game with ya'll as this progresses. Got a couple ideas. Might give away some stuff or something. We'll see.

    Answers inb4 questions
    1)Yes
    2)Yes
    3)No
    4) The Martian, it's great!
    5) The Martian, it's not even remotely the same.
    6) Yes

    Cool.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Day 2 - since no one had any reason to believe I'd keep going, I updated the title. Serves ya right.

    https://youtu.be/UAS3hdKb2sQ
    https://youtu.be/POorvSTq5hw

    Guess who died again? This time because I started off assuming they were doing roughly the same damage and didn't pay enough attention. I was wrong!

    Oh, and before anyone asks, the answer is "nope"

    Cool.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Here the first ones are in all their terrible, terrible glory.




    Just to head off some future possible questions:
    1) Why are there two, you ask? It started getting laggy client side from the recording software and I tried to fix it - and dc'ed. yay.
    2) Yes I have a pet, no I'm not using it. This forces me to pay attention the entire time. It also occasionally causes me to die - but I already know I'm bad so... :p
    3) Yes

    Cool.

    Nice! The first thing I noticed is that you were a 4th job mage, making me not really impressed at all. Then I scrolled down to watch the earlier videos and noticed you are actually at quite a low level still. That makes this really impressive to solo to the end. Best solo I've done (on a different server) were 2 terrible days on my bishop, but that was actually on level ~155 and I could 2-3 (4 maybe at oblivion?) shot all the mobs. So I just teleported around the map spamming genesis. Good luck on finishing it up, you got this! :)

    You are the first to get it - but I see you are an Ironman. Do you have a non-ironman character? I'd rather not ruin that for you.

    And I'm getting decently close - but I start Oblivion pretty soon and this is where things get tricky, as a f/p mage.

    Alrighty, I'll find you eventually. Think we're in difficult time zones though.

    Yes, so my attacks are pretty weak. Fortunately I have poison but...
    Anyway, it's going pretty fun.
