Huh. I was kind of hoping that they'd be able to go through the heavenward quests this go through. which has some of the best cutscenes in the game. Buff9 for instance.
I really appreciated the fact that even though Hildebrand is a comedy questline, we got some really interesting lore that has had repercussions all the way to current patch content.
This part is absolutely the peak of ARR Hildibrand to me, and there's a lot of strong competition, but 1:24:16 remains one of my favorite bits.
Briardien, finally breaking down from it all: "…And the world has now completely and utterly ceased to be bound by the laws of logic."
While my WoL was going "wait, no, this Primal summoning is actually the one thing that does make sense, we've been working out all the rules in the main story and this does seem to have most of the ingredients, it's all coming togeth- are you alright?"
Hildabrand never ends: he loves on in our hearts💖
Ooh, that bit about historically working with Amalja (I can’t spell sorry ahdbs) comes up again much later in a new optional dungeon! So neat seeing things I didn’t realize were set up earlier pop up again.
I can see Hildibrand as a Streamer of mystery games: making a new theory every second with every new bit of information and talking over cutscenes.
I can even see the emotes of him flexing/thinking, running, being in shock and smirking…
His dad does bathtub streams.
Uldah sucks, as always
Whenever we continue the Hildibrand adventures, would be nice to do the Scholasticate Quests since they follow another character from ARR Hildi
If they aren't too hard to voice 😛 They are pretty long
Dawning on me that this entire plotline with Sil'dih and Zombies is based on the very effective technique of using the Zombie Spell on things and then a Full Heal to kill them. Damn, that's neat.
If you go back to here in episode 4, you'll see a familiar character being VERY restrained in her treatment of Ultros. https://youtu.be/nGCr_lnjV00?t=1427
I love that this storyline ends showing that Hildy's compassion and Briardien's methods actually compliemtn each other very well and resolve this fun plot amiciably
Now for the keen eyed and the Stormblood starting Hildy's Read More
That lala in the background is real obvious in this questline, I saw some theories from people at the time thinking he was the Thief of Many Faces when, nope just a creep.
Also: Vote Hildbrand for Lich King, 2024
With Gilgamesh being able to summon a primal on his own, I wonder what would happen if he got Eorzea's Zantetsuken.
Add "Ever Loyal Dan-sistant" to the list. 😄
I hope to see the continuation of this soon. after all, he had a section in heavensward as well. would be a shame to leave a gentleman waiting
This was so silly but so fun! I'm excited to see more of Hildibrand in the future
2:30 I don't know what Dan did to piss off that slime, but good thing its boss ran off before it could do something stupid.
If there was movies made from parts from 14… Hildebrand in game cutscene movie would be epic!
DURMIN WILL RETURN.
And thus concludes the adventure. You know what this means, don't you? It likely means people will stop hinting about a certain Gentleman in the comments of the main story playthough hoping to one day see Dan play that sidequest. Your wait is at an end, patient viewers. You've gotten what you wanted! I do hope those that have not played FFXIV enjoyed it as much as we have!
Side detail about that Enkidu fight: While the Tank can hit those whirlwinds to disable them as JoCat said, players transformed into a chicken can also do this. Being tossed into the air by a gust of wind tends to not hurt chickens very much.
Belah'dia didn't cause a Calamity! It existed in the early part of the 6th Astral Era, founded by survivors of Nym and Mhach from the 5th Astral. The only ruin created by the splitting of Belah'dia was its own ruin.
for JoCat's benefit
Circumspect: wary and unwilling to take risks.
– oh hey i remember that nation of mages, that's where the Voidesnt meet up with the cool skypirates!!
– hooray Zombiebrand undead extraordinaire is back
– damn it Greg! you summoned a Primal… now Julyan will whoop you for wasting her Fire Crystals, well that & you know Durmin Lala of Snacks, Primal-slayer Extraordinare
– the power of making many friends in important places does prove to be useful
– oh god, i just realize this is a Goofball preview of the Heavensward main quest except unlike Ishgard, Ul'dah didn't became a better place after the truth came out
– Briardien, the summoning of a Primal is by far the only thing that has made sense, in fact it actually made MORE sense than the other Primal Summonings
Playfriends, your spoiler free lore comment will be delayed. This is a placeholder
This was a fascinating story. Such intrigue! Much drama!
Upon watching this very serious mystery solving series, I laughed a total of 17 times. That is 17 full rewatches of the Elden Ring playlist for me. Woe is I.
I did not knew Dan never played the Hildibrand quests, and now I cannot wait for his reaction to the Heavensward leg of the questline. Best minion reward ever too!
I think for the Trial in this episode, you actually want the chickens to absorb the tornados because chickens don't take the falling damage.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! for covering this wonderful story. My goodness, you two knocked it out of the park.
1:19:00 THEY. DIDNT. XD.
Dan's lucky he can put together a party so easy.
I, on the other hand, still can't find a party for any of the extreme primal duties.
Love the reference to Princess Bride and the test.
This was a hilariously good time. Thank you for sharing!
47:35, I hate how the internet has poisoned my brain but Circumspecting Inspector Briardien said the thing!!
So now that you’ve done Hildibrand, you should try the Scholasticate quests. It’s a Heavensward side quest series that deals with the effects that the revelation of Ishgard’s true history has on the clergy.
