Hello, hello, it's Oblivine Cube here, we are back for another Caves of Cud Daily for day 145 of 2026. I missed a couple of these, you know, life, it happens. Today, we are getting a child of the hearth, Truken, humanoid. We've got heat resistance. Hi. I think cold resistance would have been better, but that's okay. That's probably a child of the earth automatically gets this. I don't often play Trudecayton, so I'm not entirely sure what they get for free. But yeah, we're going to pop in, we're going to see what we can do in the small amounts of time that we have today, and we're going to go from there, so just auto-explore here. Village history. Fine Farmer. Cool, that's a pretty small little village. So we are going to talk to this dude. He's going to have one of our first quests, I bet. Yep. Find a location. Okay, so we need to find Shetegov. A traveling ghost gamechee village one day, okay? Located next to Steel Ten Sarich. Uh, what is that? I guess we'll... I guess we'll find that out eventually. Um, who else will have... Probably the village Apothecary or the village tanker. One of those two will have the next quest. There we go. Yeah, it's him. Find the Seculatory Grave Goods. Okay. They've been taken to shut, apparently. Let's trade here really quickly, get rid of the crocs, and wait, no, what do we have on us first? Yeah, okay, we've got leather boots. That is a straight, we're going to get that unshilled reptiles, um, uh, uh, rep, and we're going to get rid of our leather boots. Oh, so we've got some torches, which would, you know, kind of standard. Why is that been quest item? Interesting. Okay, alright, did we have a, what is that, a grappling gun? Okay, cool. And we have a mace. So we get slam for free, we're going to want Conklet as soon as we can get it. We're going to want some mines compass in wilderness. lower if we managed to survive that long. Okay, let's take a look at our journal. So Shud is right up there. And then this is, oh, it's also right there. So, eight forangs west of Gridgate. How many Parasangues located next to? Well, that should be very, very easy then, I think. I think that should be very doable. So let's just try popping up over there. And we're lost. Yeah, of course. I can hear you. There we go. Got a little bit of XP for that. We'll just come into the next pair saying, it's midnight. It would be nice if... Uh, you know what, we can, let's wait until morning. Okay, there we go, that's what we're looking for. Where'd you go, crocodile? Ooh, there you are. Um, okay, let's just try, and, so he's still perfect, and we have taken a pretty big hit, there we go, that's a little bit better. Resto heel. which is the Tildi key, right beside your number one, in case you don't know. We're gonna wait a turn so that it comes close to us, we're gonna hit Slam, we're gonna miss. That's what we're gonna do, but we got level two anyways, so it's all good. Okay, no, we could probably, we could probably, probably take out this glow pad. Get some extra XP, which means that these guys are going to be hostile to us too, which is fine. I'll just rest up. Pop over here, this guy now. You know what, I don't want to really deal with two of them at once. I mash the button and I shouldn't, you should never do that. That's foolish. Okay, we stunned. Perfect. These guys probably saw me kill their buddies, so. See, the nice thing is, they can't move, so we can just back off. come back and take them up from there. So, not bad, we're a little over halfway to level 3. Look at that, giant, legendary dragonfly. Now, the dragonflies are not hostile to us, so this should be a safe enough area to wander around it. The glowpats here, of course, aren't hostile to us either. And what we can do is we can lure this guy in here, so this glowpad also tries to... There we go. Just helps take some of the heat off of us. I really thought I... I've beaten that right there. Rest up. Oh, see, it's beating by, okay. Pop down here, hit that, that, and hit that, okay. And hit that, okay. and we pop down, because there's a downstairs here, right? There was a staircase right there. Because I don't think that the, yeah, our, uh, the actual legendary is not up here, so we'll head down, and we will try to speak with the legendary dragonfly as soon as we find it. What was that? There's nothing in that chest? Then that interesting. Okay. Keep exploring. We will take... Yeah, all of that, that's fine. Oh, a glowmoth. Uh, not the greatest, okay, we're gonna try and kill him. And that didn't aggro any of these guys with us, that's good. Yeah, that's not great. Okay, let's come up here, up here. I'm going to wait a few turns. Try to, uh, let's eat a witchwood, right? And then, there we go. Perfect. Those guys, uh, are pretty dangerous for, for where we are. Uh, so there must be further down, yeah. Because he was not up there, right? Yeah, no. No, we didn't see anything bright pink, so a null worm. I legitimately am not sure that we can take that. Why is he just sitting there? Played a no worm. Okay. Grab crushing beak, yeah. Let's try. Oh, shoot, okay, we did a mistake. Okay, we're gonna go up. Where's our main stairs out? Okay, over there, hey. Let's just... Get the heck out of here. I would have liked to find out where we were, because we are still, of course, lost, but... That's okay, there we go. That's not what I meant to do. Sure, okay, so we're going to check these ruins really quickly. Famished. Let me know one strength the rest of the day. Now I'm going to extinguish the campfire, which I think should let me set down a different campfire if I'm ever on this parisang again, without having to come back to that exact one. and use it again. We're going to put on our iron buckler. Now this grappling gun, honestly, I think it would be more useful for us to have wooden arrows right now. 12 penetration and 1D2 damage. And it pulls them to us. Hmm, okay. Well, anyway, let's hop up here. So one of these should have, yeah, you know, that's not great. Exploring the desert, when you are brand new fresh, in the nighttime, is not the greatest. You don't really want to run into a bunch of dog gliders. Okay, and here we go. So, there's a bunch of snap jaws here. I'm going to try and slam this guy in the middle here. Set him flying, get them out of the way. What is, that's a clay pot right below me? Okay. How do we want to play this? We're at 19 HP right now. There's a bunch of these guys. Let's let them close the distance. We'll try and just bong them. Um, yeah, this guy's going to be... Okay. These guys are very likely to kill me here. So what we're going to do is we're going to eat another witchwood. We're going to pop over to this other pair of saying we're going to pop pop up, and we're going to kite them just a little bit. I kind of want to just kite this guy long enough that I can get some house back. That's not great. We still have, yeah, we've got one more, which would, let's eat it. Now, we know he's right below us, so we just kind of keep hitting even though we can't see him. So he had a vine reaper on him, it looks like, yeah. Wool kilt, cool, cool. We're going to rest here. We're going to pop over here, and we're going to pop down into that parisang that we were just at. Well, actually, you know what, we don't have to. Unless that's this. Okay, so steel tenth surish is the southern parisang. If I come into here, that's a whole bunch of nope, that's what that is. Let's slam this guy, we missed. That's unfortunate. We're gonna try and wait. Salt Hopper, okay, we're going to let the birds try and take him out because this little dude can be a big problem. Okay, there we go, yeah. Now you saw it mentioned that the steel gums were cracked, so if it gets hit again, in a certain amount of time, I don't know how long it is, it will break. I think that they will kind of auto, not repair per se, but they'll stop being weakened soon enough. We're going to equip that, grab that. We don't really need that, but I'll take it anyway. Let's go up. Okay, and then I'm going to come down again. I want to come back to, okay, that is this. Alright, let's pop over this way, and see if this is... Yeah, not the one. Let's go up. We'll see if we can find... Yeah, that's the one. Okay. So the quest was just to find this place. It is a historic site, so we can potentially get some cool stuff here. Those are cannibals. They do hit pretty decently hard. Let's try and... Oh, and there's lots of them. Okay, let's throw a bit of a grenade. We're going to slam this guy backwards, hopefully. Let these guys kind of come through the gas and Okay, we're famished again, not a big deal. I can't cook with enemies nearby. That is more of a big deal. But not so big deal. Okay. We have poisoned. Okay. I don't know how many turns I'm going to remain poisoned. So, in the interest of staying alive, let's do this. Yeah, that's so. And we are going to put on high explosives. We still only have those two arrows. I don't think we picked up a bunch of arrows when we were last, at a place that had snap jaws. What is... Putrid salt, okay. Like that. Slam him up, and kill. Take a puff out. I think, but safe probably to auto-explore here. I'm going to let you guys come to me. So we are being hit from both sides, which is not ideal, but there we go. So we are level 5, and we haven't leveled our anything. Let's pump this up a little bit. Less damage from poison would have been very helpful. We want salt dunes. We're going to pick that up. I really do want that. Okay. And that leaves us without any other points to do anything else. That's perfect. I'm just going to wait a few turns, let him come to us. Club. So is that, yeah, that's not as good as what we have in anyway, so that counterweighted staff, we'll grab it. little conch, weird artifact, that's great. That might be a stun rod they do like to carry bludgeoning weapons, so that's going to be my guess as to what that will be when we identify it. A club and a star apple. We'll take the star apple. What a mimic? Really. It's not going to come to me, is it? Yeah, okay. Let's try. I don't know if we can take this thing out, but we're going to try. Yeah, we definitely can't. We have no healing stuff, so we have to, yeah, that's okay. That's okay, our time is up anyway, but, uh, yeah, 9,000 points, dead to a mimic. I... very rarely actually see these guys at such a low level, but yeah, not bad, that was fun, I liked it. Let's take a look at our daily stream leaderboard. Number seven, not bad, dude, 90,000 comic chrome, what's up? That is fantastic. Good job, choked whoever that guy is. Heck of a daily run. Yeah, okay. Well, that's going to be it for me. As always, thanks for hanging out. Thanks for watching. And, uh, per usual, happy gaming. Until next time.
