Video summary
Press to jump
- 0:58Spiff discloses that Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss sponsors the adventure.
- 2:20The Axe of the Apocalypse and Slashing Reeds enchantment combine to deliver weapon damage without consuming durability.
- 6:23He leases a sawmill in Hernand to produce and sell wooden weapons.
- 8:52Repeatedly placing small banners becomes his shortcut to upgrading the sawmill's popularity and facility tier.
- 15:10A pickled-food restaurant joins the portfolio, with staff selection becoming the next optimisation problem.
- 18:32The business adventure gives way to an airborne castle attack using a jetpack, arm cannon and flamethrower.
The Axe of the Apocalypse has a catch: enormous damage, but only a single use. The Spiffing Brit would rather keep it, thanks.
In "The Spiffing Brit Breaks Crimson Desert...", he combines the weapon with the Slashing Reeds armour enchantment, triggering the axe's damage without spending its durability. The Forgotten General becomes the unfortunate demonstration, its health dropping in a single hit.
The upload has drawn about 446,000 views since yesterday. This is a paid adventure: developer Pearl Abyss sponsors the video, a relationship Spiff discloses near the beginning after recalling a meeting at Gamescom.
His ambitions in the Charting the Unknown DLC extend well beyond flattening bosses. He wants a business empire, a little romance and enough gold for an extravagant ship. Playing as Oongka with hot-pink hair and red-and-yellow armour, he leases a sawmill and sets it producing wooden weapons. Then he discovers that repeatedly placing small banners can push the business's popularity to its maximum. Industrial expansion apparently requires excellent bunting.
A pickled-food restaurant called Dillightful follows, along with his argument that the right cook and server matter more than an oversized workforce. Viewers are picking up on that contrast: alongside the spectacular weapon trick, the comments discuss his habit of breaking games through ordinary market economics.
Others have a more immediate question about the jetpack. By the time Spiff attacks Flame Knights' Castle from the air with an arm cannon and flamethrower, running a sawmill has begun to look like the restrained part of his afternoon.
