18:55 Summary
To quickly start if you ever need help with runs just hmu! To add some stuff in the Skeleton Doc in Mongrel can be robbed and he'll even trade with you again ~5hrs later. The guards don't care and so long as you leave fast enough he won't attack you. You can build a Crossbow locker (Free research, Gear storage under CORE unlocks it) and it only costs 1 Iron Plate. Any item put inside a Crossbow locker (All items can be put inside funnily enough) lose the stolen tag allowing you to sell stuff back at full price! (Not including items which sell for less normally like food armour or robotic limbs) I use this trick in tedious runs like an Iron Stick/Iron Club/Staff runs. Runs where the run will be a grind so we just rush past the money gathering part of the run. Dude I love how you covered the trick! Fun fact if you have no legs and take off your arms you can steal without getting attacked by the cannibals as a Skeleton :) I actually did the Impossible Start Insane Edition (Plus) run on stream the other day and it's thanks to Cannibals being kinda chill with limbless Skeletons that makes the run possible. The thievery chance in Mongrel is always 100% for all shops when stolen from the doctor :) Even with 0 Thievery. You can swim as a Skeleton if you want and you'll go 6.711mph in the water even when encumbered to speed it up a lil bit :) And yes KLR limbs are as I usually describe them... Overpriced paperweights. They are so bad but sell for a decent amount :) If you want to hit around 300k before day 4 with 100% success do Holy Nation Citizen (Start in Stack, if you get placed in Bad Teeth restart), lure bulls/dogs to town and sell their stuff to purchase traders wooden backpack and wooden sandals. Keep a corpse held and fill up on water at the well in town. Head to skinners roam (East). When you get next the the Holy Mines save and load the game. The corpse will despawn but you keep the 2x str xp for encumbered bonus. Take backpack off to get above 70% encumbrance. When at Skinners Roam aggro a 42 Starving bandit squad and then sneak to lose them. Then sneak behind them. Easy 1 - 85+ stealth in a few game hours. Then sneak to Narkos Trap (North east of Skinners Roam kinda) and when (Day 2) 23:00 comes around drop all the water, take off your backpack and clothes which will buff your stealth by 1.2x (Naked bonus) putting you to 100. Enter the lab section by unlocking the door. Unlock all containers and as you loot stuff put them in your backpack and take if back off right after. Grab a single pair of tools from a container to unlock the highest level container at the top. There are 4 ancient safes, position yourself behind them in the corner to hide. It will be day time by the time you leave. You should have ~18 to 19 str by this point so once the ancient safe at the top has below 60 shown you can "use strength" to break it the rest of the way. You can put any "stolen from security spider" items inside a safe and then back out to remove the "stolen from" bug from them. I suggest looting all 3 AI Cores, 2 engineering research, ancient science books, the map, CPU units, Repair kits, Robotic Components, Skeleton Muscles and Skeleton Eyes you find. Then just wait until it's safe to sneak out. If you really wanna be sneaky you can drop your bag on the walls in some parts and sneak out then pick it up on the other side. Or just R-Trick towards Blister Hill. Drop 3 AI cores (I keep them in my inventory) and any other illigal stuff you can't fit in your bag on the ground and take your bag off and enter blister hill. Sell any legal items there. Clothing store almost always has 25k. Armour store can have 25k too but less often. Then leave town, pick your bag back up and head to Mongrel. Sell the rest there. You should be able to run at full speed towards Mongrel. I do my runs as a Scorchlander because they are my favorite organic race and with sandals I have no issue outrunning fogmen even with 1 athletics. Sorry for the wall of text 😅
Keep em coming
What an absolute madlad lol
fuck a bible imma just read this dudes comment
Frankie the legend got me screenshotting a youtube comment in case I boot up kenshi anytime soon

They have MasterLocks, the rake pick worked.

@@homeonegreen9thievery at 0 would absolutely still destroy a Master Lock
i paused mid way through unpaused and read this comment at the exact time he said the sounds of lockpicking
after AI replaced his job in the music industry, Stealy Dan was forced to turn to a life of petty crime. truly one of the saddest “where are they now” i’ve seen.
Isn't he the ai?
He's stealin' in the years.
I wouldnt call this petty theft, this is more than that.
@@arandomcommenter412 grand even..
He went from musician to stand user/DIOs henchman to kleptomaniac
Finally, AmphibousAmbigious Kenshi upload
lol
We love the AmphibiousAmbiguan
I know, it's been so long since the last one!
@@ambiguousamphibianwhere body pillow
@@ambiguousamphibianyeah, where body pillow
The band Steely Dan took the name from a brand of vibrating toys from the book Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs
Haha beat me to it. 😂
That was a very weird and intense book.
I couldn't finish that book. It went from cool beat generation weirdness to heavily homoerotic somewhere and I couldn't get through it
Can't say I ever associated steely dan with intense homoerotic literature but now I won't be able to forget it thanks
@@rock.entity check out the story of how they formed. I love it so much
Just so you know, the reason you were being caught is because the game puts a "committing crime" 3-second counter on you the instant after you commit thievery (and other crimes), and you need to stay undetected for those three seconds before it's okay for others to see you. Obviously, for something like kidnapping though, you want to avoid *ever* being seen until you've dumped your quarry.
He kept doing these amazing thefts and then strolling in front of shopkeepers with less than a second left on that counter lmao
I got this idea from watching FrankieWuzHere, who makes these incredible Kenshi guides you really need to check out if you haven't already: kzhead.info/sun/g7dunt1rn3Snq2g/bejne.html STEALY DAN!!!
AJA !!
Can't buy a thrill... But you can steal it!
Frankie is my go-to Kenshi content creator game-knowledge wise. Guy's a bipedal Construction Set encyclopedia. He also regularly streams complete Kenshi speedruns, well worth a watch on twitch if you want to see how to truly break basegame Kenshi. He's also an extremely chill guy.
Dude it looks like you’re not subbed to Frankie’s channel?????????? Check the first 27 seconds of this video for the proof!!!
Oh snap I know that guy. Thanks for the shoutout man!
Of course the name is a based and esoteric music reference
congrats. you minimum wisdom has been confirmed
@@evilgibson still tryna decipher this 1 fam
Only a fool would say that
The band named themselves after a, ahem, "toy" from a Burroughs novel.
You go back, Jack, and do it again.
Thanks for getting "Do it Again" stuck in my head for the foreseeable future
Stealy Dan used his pretzel logic, found himself in my old town, on Black Friday. He met Peg because she had the deacon blues, they drank some Cuervo Gold and he stole her bad sneakers. They were reeling in the years when they met Kid Charlemagne, who suggested that they do it again.
Night by Night immediately
Man this Stealy Dan adventure really had me Reelin' In The Years.
*chef kiss
once I finish this video I'll be Home At Last
@@oktalley99 Then you can kick off your Bad Sneakers and relax.
@@realflyingclutchman Until you Do It Again
The Spiffing Amphibian
Oh no.
Imagine if there's Kenshi multiplayer.
@@barrybend7189 :fear:
The reason you kept getting caught it because you need to stay unseen for 4 seconds after you are finished stealing, You can see the countdown on the left where it says comiting crime (x) where x is the number of seconds till you will no longer be caught.
I just want to say, I love how many cats were involved in this video. I hope they are all happy with their owner :3
Cats own us, though.
Cool! Still listen to Stealy Dan...Yes I'm old
Do it again = best song
Not old enough. Stealers Wheel is where it's at.
i want this kenshi milf to be real so bad
Old? Or reelin' in the years? 🤔
bot and a comment stealer
You Can't Buy a Thrill But Stealy Dan can steal one.
I love it when creators cite where they got their inspiration/information. Good job, AA!
Negative stat modifiers is a good thing in Kenshi. It allows you to train that skill as if you were a actually a lower level, and as such you gain more exp per action. So to efficiently train your stats, you want negative modifiers, not positive ones.
i both love and hate this mechanic on one hand it does kinda makes sense as practice and training is more effective when you are challenging yourself, but on the other hand, is counter intuitive to most gamers
I've never played Kenshi, barely heard of it. I watched your Torsolo gigacut in small sessions over the last week, subbed with notifications around 30 minutes in and am now massively looking forward to anything you post. Thanks for your hard work!
"Today we are going to horribly exploit" ah yes those are the words that I want to hear
I love Stealy Dan, the midnight cruiser, the real gaucho.
only after finishing the video did I realize he's Steely Dan because he steals, thought the reference was to "reeling in the years" or "bad sneakers". im not old
Don't let the devs know but in the swamps there is a lab with blood spiders in it and if you just stealth outside of the door for a day you can get 100 stealth easy
"Hey I'm Stealy, follow me in my adventure through this office."
That's 6 and a half.....grapples
I’ve been playing kenshi before it even had sound. It’s crazy how far this game has come.
i love how when you watch a channel for long enough, you can see their skills as a creator develop. you’ve improved a lot in the past few years, mr amphibian of ambiguity.
Yo I love the Steely Dan reference! Regardless if youre referring to the best band to ever live or the steam powered implement from the book. Either way, love the videos dude! Never miss one.
1. Yes AA you are old. 2. The past 2 videos have been absolute bangers.
The past all videos have been bangers my dude
@@goreobsessed2308 Correct
@@goreobsessed2308 Ehhh, some of the sponsored stuff seems a bit more forced to me, though I can understand if it's a sweet deal. (Specifically looking at the 0$ road SimCity but there are others that feel kind of off.)
I mean I'm not even 30 and I got the Steely Dan reference
Stealy Dan, the continent wide known master of Dirty Work
one thing that you seem to keep overlooking is that on doing a crime the "Commiting crime!" message will appear and start doing a countdown before going away, so long as its still there being seen will count as being caught in the act.
Cool! Still listen to Stealy Dan...Yes I'm old.
You go back, Jack...Do it again..
@@redsable6119 WHEEL TURNING ROUND AND ROUND
Actually Stealy Dan's keyboardist Jim Beard just died last week.Mar 2nd I believe.
obligatory "IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?!!?"
Only if you use the Joestar family secret technique
Crap, I think your right. The name hit something in my brain but I couldnt seem to figure what I knew it from.
Steely Dan the Band? Do it again is legit one of my Favorites.
Pretzel Logic in full, own the vinyl(nice and worn too), with Night by Night as my fave
the bank building in the trader city has about 420.000 in loot, leviathan eggs, power cores etc. i totally didn't rip them off yesterday, really 😂
Absolutely get the Steely Dan reference. I'm 25, but my mom brought me up on classic rock.
Mom brought up on new wave and dad brought me up on rock
Its not a proper thief playthrough until you steal Tengus sandals just to spite the man.
I’ve REALLY been wanting more Kenshi vids to watch. Definitely gonna check his channel.
I wonder how many lovers Stealy Dan might get?
I hope some of these kids pick it up, amazing work
Ricky don't loose that number, you don't wanna call no body else! Send it it off in a letter, to your self!
Pretzel Logic ❤❤❤
I love videos like this from you, glad to see its Kenshi as well! I dont actually play the game myself, but I've watched all of your different series with it and enjoy experiencing it through you quite a bit!
My favorite minor thing in the game is banter between party members.
I guess you were, really reelin' in the years with that reference ;]
JoJo isn't that long ago
Buddy casually references a band from 1971, makes me feel old that i even know the name
"I don't know how many people will get this reference... ... I'm beginning to feel very old" Would you say that you're... reelin' in the years?
You can steal the whole world, but all that money still can't buy a thrill...
Stealy Dan stole my green earrings, and he did it with a fez on
0:50 Definitely got the reference, now I feel old too, thanks!
Steely Dan is my favorite band so it was amazing to see this notification
Fresh kenshi content? Lets gooooooo!
Stealy Dan Stole my Kidney...
At least you still have your heart. He stole mine... ... Does anyone know where I can get a heart transplant?
A new member joins the legendary team Torsolo and Gerald will be pleased
Skeletons are fun. I played as The Skeleton Crew, an all-skeleton party. I built a base on the outskirts of the Black Desert. That place has random poison gas clouds, so the only hostiles to speak of are roving bands of ninjas with severe lung damage. I rather enjoyed researching various technologies, and having to go on expeditions to find books in ruins. Apart from that, the Crew mostly kept to themselves (for a while), harvesting ore, making steel, and perfecting various crafting skills. After a while, I had a master weaponsmith and a master armorsmith. The base was surrounded by tall stone walls, its only entrance a crude killbox of sorts: A recessed corridor leading to the only gate, with the ramparts above on either side lined with crossbow turrets. Bands of very stupid ninjas would attack semi-regularly. Judging by the sound of all the flies buzzing around the piles of corpses, I'm sure that my wall sentinels were glad they had no sense of smell.
You've lucked out, because on top of being an obscure music reference, it is also an obscure Jojo reference - double exposure!
Did I hear... J o j o r e f r e n c e?
KENSHI IS BACK BABYYYY
"You go back...Jack, do it agaaaain. Wheels turnin' round and round" Love me some Steeley Dan
Man, you introduced this game to me just a few days ago and now here you are making videos, I love it! Even recommending more Kenshi content! Speaking of, if you can find enough reason to do it, please more long Kenshi series
I'm sorry but not naming him Swiper was a mistake
Love to see that FrankieWuzHere got a shout out his content was a huge help for me when i started learning the game
I just so happen to have started Kenshi again, and now my favorite content creator is on it with me. Loving it.
Never let the possibility of people not getting your references due to them being too vague, niche, or old, stop you from making those references. They get more powerful the fewer people understand them. Also, I understood that Stealy Dan reference. :)
Glad Frankie is getting recognition, he deserves it.
Stealy Dan killed me, well played sir.
I’m honestly more impressed that he didn’t get got by the guards during pat downs.
When you steal something, you get the 'committing crime' debuff for a few seconds. If you're spotted by a concerned faction while you have that on, that counts as being caught in the act.
Man Stealy Dan sure is doing a whole lot of Dirty Work.
Props for shouting out FrankieWuzHere, you have good character
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD keep making kenshi videos, you're an old legend in the community and to see you return would be fantastic
Yaaaay more Kenshi! You introduced me to the game and I have been loving it so far
Stealy Dan! Classic Naked Lunch reference!
Dad brought me up on classic rock, punk, and psychedelic. Mom brought me up on 80s new wave. Step dad listened to classical music. Kids around me got me into hip hop. 28, i now go to raves. I have pretty wide range of music interests.
Imagine you're a cannibal and some bony skeleboy shows up to your town and runs up to one of your storage chests, surrounded and hunted by warriors, touches it, you hear this weird flickering noise, and in the blink of an eye he becomes the greatest thief the world has ever known while barely getting a handful of bruises. I'd just go lay down in the desert tbh
16:32 My librarian wife walks in to the room "WHY ARE ALL THOSE BOOKS DAMAGED!?"
STEALY DAN TIP! In the Black Desert City limb shop, you can actually lockpick the safe and steal from it through the wall from where you were standing to get the chest. You may need to move slightly closer to the wall along the bed, but the safe will have the highest value items. It's hard to feel bad about it when you need to sell an arm and a leg just to put food table
This certainly was a magic carpet ride
"I am beginning to feel very old" it's worth it to know steely dan without having to look them up. a lot of things in the past weren't better, except for the music
Gave Dirty Work a whole new meaning
I just remembered the scene from the A-Team movie with Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper. Face (Cooper) was talking to Sosa, his ex/person chasing him and the team down, and he asks “did you take my Steely Dan CD?”
Hey man I launched my new account, I look for people who give it a try, I do silly Rimworld vids
The music nerd in me is so pleased to see so many people glowing for the reference
Ah yes, the "flee into the water after stealing valuable paper documents" strategy. A classic.
"In the mornin' you go gunnin' For the man who stole your water. Then you fire til he is done in But they catch you at the border. And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet But the hangman isn't hangin' And they put you on the street, yeah. You go back, Jack, do it again. Wheel turnin' round and round You go back, Jack, do it again."
I love steely dan, especially “do it again”. Nice reference!
Whoa, that's an awesome sprite of the amphibian in the beginning !
On the title alone I just know this one is going to be an all time AA classic edit: You're not stealing things you're just the only one who could appreciate the finer things in life because they "wouldn't know a diamond if you held it in your hand"
What a coincidence, in my last Kenshi playthrough I had a skeleton called Steely Dan because of the band lol
I'm broken. When you lockpicked the first guy, my brain cued: "Click out of 1, 2 is binding..." Also, video game logic piece of how pristine books are worth anything and damaged wrinkly tomes that have eluded being thrown out are worthless.
I clicked on this video specifically because of the music reference. I think we as a species have reached the peak of naming with this one.
I freaking love Kenshi, was hope to eventually get that Queen Hiver run you talked about during Torsolo.
I have to say, your new editor has almost mastered your old editing style - it's noticeably different but still charming. I also love the new amphibian pixel art sprite you commissioned!
I am in a Steely Dan tribute band as the lead singer and keys/sax guy. Hilarious reference, I'm showing my band this vid lol
The "committing crime!" modifier goes away after 3 seconds if nobody sees you, and after it expires nobody will aggro you on sight unless you commit more crimes or if you're trespassing. It's usually worth the time to wait out the timer before leaving so that stealth is unnecessary on the way out.
Stealy Dan: Oh hey, I think I'll take that guy's money. Stealy Dan: I'll do it again.
This was so great! Thank you for the video, I hope you are well.
Rip Jim Beard. Just didn't quite live long enough to see his band referenced in an ambiguousamphibian video.
Idea for Kenshi run: A small squad of four or five highly trained characters try to attack the strongest faction leaders (Tinfist, Catlon, Pheonix, etc.) Call it like "The JRPG Run" or "Five Torsolos Versus Tinfist" or something to that extent. To be honest I just think it would be cool to witness Tinfist and the anti-slavers getting descended upon by a small-yet-critically-dangerous team of your creation.
I love your Kenshi runs! Keep up the great work
I put this video on entirely because of the power of the Steely Dan pun. It's magnificent.
Great video! Did you see the Black Cow, or go to the Caves of Altamira? Look at it this way, you exposed your younger viewers to the awesomeness of The Dan!
0:47 lol I was grinning when I saw the title :)
Same
Always wonderful to see more Kenshi.
I got the reference immediately. Then again, my dad used to listen to Steely Dan and I'm getting oldge myself. Peace out bro.
