Instant Rook Defeat! (Video)

Here's the video: http://vimeo.com/32416558  The password is Glitch.

Here's the unlisted youtube video if that helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L2asmBX6tg

Info: With the help of the Sandbox and friends, I was able to one shot the rook with 215 (not 315) bushels of grain. The attack really ends at around 3:17.  I used Screencast-O-Matic to record the video and the music is from Incompetech.

Any other questions, comments, concerns, leave a comment below or contact me.

  • I'm... not really sure what's going on.  -_-  I can't tell who is doing what or how they're doing it or what's what because it's all so small.  I have a feeling though that this would be an awesome video if I could tell these things.  Also I think fighting the rooks looks pretty fun now.  Kind of turn-based, like Xenosaga / FF if I'm not mistaken on what I'm seeing..?

  • Ok, so I recorded this, I barely used my mouse... But after stunning the rook, you noticed after my  donation, it is OVER. So there.

  • Hit the HD button if that helps... uh oh...

  • Fullscreen on vimeo doesn't work right on my laptop >_<  And... so... donating to shrines can defeat the rook?  I think I knew this but had forgot, since I've never done it.  -_-'

  • LOL! Yeah, stunning just lets you donate so you can defeat it...
    Posted 13 months ago by Rook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ah I see.  -_-  That's .. kind of lame actually now that I think about it. >_>

  • very good to know. last attack I participated in, I gave up a moonstone, a diamond, and a half bag of music blocks (including my two favs) to the shrine.. I can only do that so often or I'll be down to the quick in short order. Thanks rook. 1-1/2 bales of grain is far less of a hit than all the junk I tossed at it.

    One question/observation. I noticed you clicking on the number that sits inside the mass-o'energy... That's how you help prep for the stun attack, right (ie, martial imagination) ? if so, thanks for that too. I wasn't exactly sure how to participate in that aspect and have usually (*the four I've helped with) just done after "battle" cleanup in the form of RKs and dealing with the animals, and twice, I've also donated at the right time to assist with the attack itself. Newbish, but we all gotta start somewhere aye?

  • Using Martial Imagination, a Glitch can prepare a stun attack. The power of the stun is based on the number of glitches who click your orb (the number on there). 8 is the maximum. If anyone clicks after 8, the stun attack will fail. The rook will be completely stunned once enough stun damage has been incurred.

  • @Woochi -- Rook used 215 bales of grain not 1.5 -- although that's much easier to part with than musicblocks and gems, it was a lot of chicken squeezing ...
    Posted 13 months ago by Flake Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Flake thanks for addressing that, I guess ignored it for some reason... and thanks for contributing.
    Posted 13 months ago by Rook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Flake...oh...! wow. I missed that. lol 215 BALES.. ouch. ok back to feeding it diamonds and music blocks. heh bales. doh!
    Posted 13 months ago by Woochi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • As I told you before, it should only take 100 bales, as they only have 2500 health. Alternately, 84 crystals is a lot more convenient to carry, and still gets the job done. I still wish I had taken a screenshot when I did that. Oh well, there's always next time.

  • True, but isn't 15*100=1500?
    Posted 13 months ago by Rook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes, but if we're speaking bushels of grain, it's 25*100=2500. Though, while I'm thinking of it, here's another argument against grain I typed up for a somewhat different thread: http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/11856/#reply-121764

  • I was there for that attack. It was pretty amazing. It was interesting to re-watch it through Rook's eyes, and I particularly enjoyed Rook's sandbox group post at the end of the video, reporting that Operation Falconpunch was a success. I think I snorted coffee up my nose.

  • @Zigniber ok I'm pretty sure someone told me 25 and I misunderstood it for 15 cause I was to stubborn for some reason, that helps!

    @Voluptua S. Thanks for watching! I assume that you're ok now.

  • I'm fine...but now you have me wondering how many Mabbish coffees it would take to off the rook in one shot. Operation Double Espresso, anyone? I know there's none involved, but now I really wanna yell "HOLD THE FOAM!" as a battle cry.
    Posted 13 months ago by Voluptua Sneezelips Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The equivalent of Rook's 215 bushels of grain would be 42 stacks of Mabbish Coffee.

    (How appropriate.)
    Posted 13 months ago by Vic Fontaine Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, but that's using Rook's excessive blow as a yardstick. By mu calculations, it should only take 463 Mabbish Coffee to do the deed, which is a little over 19 stacks.

  • Ok, I think I get it, I was off by what favor I thought I was getting, doing this several times again should be easier.

  • Going on a crystal making binge this weekend, unless you've actually dropped 86 in I want to see what it does for sure.
    I know 30 puts one heck of a dent in them.
    Posted 13 months ago by BlackWolf Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Whoops, that was a typo before, it only takes 84 crystals, not 86. (I've edited it in the earlier post now.) And yes, I have actually dropped 84 crystals in once before, and it was quite fun to see everyone's reactions. :) Also, at the time of this writing, I have 80 crystals lying around.... *evil grin*

  • Thank you, I have 30 ish.
