The LV99 HEAVY Adventures: A Kenshi Experience

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: I am QUIETLY putting these videos out as a SERIES, but since the YouTube algorithm DESPISES series, if you enjoy this type of content, LIKING and a COMMENTING helps make it feasible to do series again - hope you enjoy. Quick SHOUTOUT to my YouTuber friend FrankieWuzHere without whose goofy mathemagical wizardry I would never have been able to create this video. Check out his channel (linked in the description)

I don't even play Kenshi, but I appreciate that the devs are willing to leave these shenanigans untouched. Usually when a game has some sort of exploit, even if it's single player, the devs will rush to patch it out because it's not the "intended" way of playing and they don't want people having fun.

Stealy Dan singlehandedly keeping the allegations against skeletons alive and well as he commits grand theft existence.... stealing everything in sight all the time. Then proceeds to harass the local populace screaming "Hit me flesh bags!" while swinging an entire quarry around. An absolute menace and why those books about skeletons were written.

I love that Stealy Dan’s catchphrase is just his name being shouted while a trumpet plays in the background.

My mans returned to kenshi and the world is a better place 🙏

It took me a while to realize that we're doing strength training with a robot ... like Stealy Dan is somehow going to gain muscle ... KENSHI!

Tip for if you want to get toughness quicker: Since taking off a robotic leg will put you into a "downed" state for a few seconds you can do the same trick with the hungry bandits, but instead of getting hit you can just take off your leg repeatedly. Been a while since I did it, there might be some timing needed with the pause screen, not sure. Also, you can put beak things into beds. This immobilizes them and increases their heal rate, so you have a nearly immortal punching bag as long as you don't do too much damage.

Honestly, my favourite weird method in Kenshi is having fleshies beat up skeleton torsos for slow and steady stat gains. Simple and easy. edit: getting beat up in a skeleton bed trains dodge; this means you can powerlevel it by getting beaten to shit on one.

For strength training, if you fill up your back up and then put it back into your inventory, the weight of its contents is no longer reduced. So if you took off your traders backpack, it'd weigh twice as much for even more encumbrance. Oh, additionally, strength trains faster if you're carrying someone. At max encumbrance, strength xp goes from 25 to 50%. So if you see a corpse or unconcious bandit, carry them as well for faster training

AA when playing PZ: "What is the meaning of life?" AA when playing Kenshi: "Stealy Dan, Stealy Dan"

When you swing a plank around and it instantly drops like 6 enemies at once, that's the good shit. That's the shit that makes life worth living.

For an easier STR training, go to World's End with 1-2 trader's backpacks full of iron or water barrels + a corpse to haul. Find an NPC, preferably the Undertaker NPC who never go into a house at night. Assign "Follow" to follow the Undertaker, and you can go AFK as long as you want. World's End is guarded by Tech Hunters with little to no threats too, so it's almost 100% safe. Or, for an even faster STR gain, use the animal-on-bed exploit. A great option is the King Gorillo, as there're free beds on the 3rd floor. Knock the Gorillo out, you can use crossbow inside the lab (the clutters will make the Gorillo stuck), bandage the Gorillo up, lock the lab's gate again to prevent stray NPC from coming in, put it in bed/as close as possible to bed (repeat if it bounces away). Drop a quick save, load, and if the Gorillo is stuck on bed, punch the living daylight of the gorillo unarmed while being overly encumbered. You'll gain STR, DEX, and martial arts at a really fast rate.

The rapid pounding of the steely dan upon his enemies ensures they meet their maker with a smile

Wasn’t included in the strength training arc but carrying a body (alive or dead) makes you train strength 200% quicker so you can hit 50% strength xp instead of the usual cap of 25%

You can also speed up the toughness training with a robotic leg. As soon as the enemy pack surrounds you, open your inventory and remove your leg. You will go unconcious for 2 seconds or so, and can immediately get back up if you put the leg back on. Many enemy factions ignore prone enemies to, so you're free to crawl away if you're beat up too much, though if you do this right you'll never get hit in the first place as they run to you and lose interest as you pass out

I don't know what you are talking about. Kenshi has no exploits :)

Honey, the Rambunctious Reptilian has uploaded a Kenshi video again!!!

19:59 "Three men, one swinger" is not a clip I wish to see.

I usually name my skeletons after rock or metal bands. One of the main characters I had in a playthrough was called Steely Dan. Everytime I see Stealy Dan I laugh at the coincidence lol
