Chapters7
Markiplier introduces the game and explains the focus on practice and exploration rather than rushing to an end.

Markiplier tackles a sprawling, obstacle-filled stretch in Baby Steps Part 6, trading caution for bold, if messy, platforming grit.

Summary

Markiplier guides us through a surprisingly large battlefield of terrain in Baby Steps, pushing his limits on everything from teetering balance beams to precarious zipline crossings. He repeatedly weighs risk versus reward, resisting tempting but dangerous choices like jumping into the ominous well. The stream is as much about learning through trial and error as it is about progress, with Markiplier narrating his thought process in real time and celebrating small victories (like locking a risky slide into a stable path). He also muses on controller issues and gear worries, giving viewers a candid peek at the practical hurdles behind long-form play—while still cruising past tense disciplines (speed, momentum, and foot placement) when the moment calls. The episode feels less about a single end-goal and more about the craft of climbing and exploration, peppered with humor, self-deprecation, and occasional playful in-universe dialogue with characters like Moose. By the end, Markiplier hints at a mysterious stairway and new avenues to explore, keeping the mystery alive for Part 7.

Key Takeaways

  • Jumping into the well is treated as a high-risk, no-reward choice that would likely reset progress, so Markiplier opts to avoid it.
  • Careful foot placement and momentum are repeatedly the difference between cresting a ledge and slipping, especially on the narrow rails and sloped surfaces.
  • The game rewards persistence and experimentation (e.g., testing different routes and techniques) over brute force, as shown by Markiplier’s persistent attempts to master tricky gaps.
  • Gear and input issues (like Stadia controller compatibility) can impact performance, highlighting real-world constraints even in a meticulous platformer run.

Who Is This For?

Essential viewing for fans of Markiplier, long-form exploration playthroughs, and players who enjoy puzzle-platformers with heavy environmental traversal and forgiving humor. Viewers who like raw problem-solving narration and candid chatter about hardware feel right at home.

Hello everybody. My name is Markiplier and welcome back to Baby Steps. I'm ignoring this weird elephant thing and I am going to go this way and move towards the big glowing things that are obviously calling to me. Oh my god, do I have to climb? Look at these beautiful rolling hills. Oh wow. But that's why it's been training me and putting these in front of me. Probably because it wants me to get some practice in before I have to climb a goddamn narrow tower. H. All right. There's also a light over there. And another tree with another fruit. Hey, wait. There's a bucket. That's even more interesting than both of those things. Also, the giant snow banks are pretty cool. Is this a well or something? Is this a well? Ah, it really looks like a well. I don't like that. Do I have to go in the well? I probably don't have to. Why would I have to go in the well? I don't know. Sorry about that, buddy. Didn't mean for that to happen. What's in the well? Is it goodies? Oh boy. I shouldn't. I really shouldn't. Oh my god. What if it sends me back down to like the beginning? What if it's like the snake? What if it's so compelling? It's like, jump in me. Jump in me. Is that an egg? What is that? Oh man, this is definitely not a good idea. It would not be a good idea to jump in this well. It will send me back down. I I guarantee this is like a big ass return. Oh, I thought I could knock the bucket in or something. Oh my god. Jump in me. It's calling me the darkness. This is my hole. It was meant for me. Jump in me. No, don't do it. Don't do it, Nathan. Don't do it. Don't do it, Nathan. No, don't do it. Okay. Risk. Reward. There is no reward for jumping in a hole of death. Risk. It goes back down to the previous level or down anywhere. I lose progress no matter what. I don't see a way to climb out of it. it would just be bad. Pure and simple. There's nothing to gain from this. Therefore, I have no reason to go in there. Therefore, I'm not going to execute upon this idea that I should jump. I DON'T I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE idea to jump into this. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO JUMP into this well. I don't even want to jump into the well. It's bad. It would be bad and it would feel bad. So, I'm not going to do it. This isn't reverse psychology. This is psychology. I am using my brain to tell myself that it would not behoove me to do that. So, I'm not going in there. I'm not. Why is my You keep getting stuck. I swear I was pushing the button to lift it. There's a weird orange ball over there. I don't know what that's about. There's a lot of little things. I must have missed so much in the woods. I didn't even realize that I was gonna like I had an inklink and I I knew that there was like one other structure there, but there's so many little things all over the place here. Probably in all of these that I've missed. Oh, is that like a long chain of footstepies? Where would that even go? Is there an achievement to it or something? There had better be a reward at the end of that if if there was something to do for all the footy steppy stonies. I don't know. Watch it burn. Procession wished for by Michael. This eyesore has long been marked for disassembly. Unfortunately, as the poles are embedded more than 10 meters into the earth, this will be part of the permanent collection. All right. Well, I mean, it doesn't seem that bad. Ow. Who wished for this? Why did I wish for nothing? Did I save my wish? Man, I wish I wish I wish I had a wish. Oh god. Okay. So, is that just like ice melt or is that the weird white fluid? Something's going on there. So, there would have to be some kind of a of of a prize, right? If I Cuz this is not easy. Definitely gets me practice in. I imagine a lot of this is for practice, right? It just seems like it's for me to practice on, right? That's what it seems. Anyway, I'm getting great practice in. This is incredible practice. I don't think that there's a goal at the end of it. It's just practice, right? That's all it is. Oh god. Oh god. There I go. Damn it. All right. Well, I tried. I'm not going to do it anymore. It was good practice. It was good practice. That really felt like great practice. I'm glad I practiced. Now I'm gonna go to the end of this. I'm g see if there's anything actually worth doing it all for. But it was great practice. Incredible practice. That's all it was and that's all I want it to be. Oh god, there's cans up there. Really? That would have been my opportunity to actually figure out what the [ __ ] the cans were for. Is this worth doing? No, there's no way it's worth doing. Look, that isn't even the beginning of it. That isn't even the end of it. Also, I think I could probably Can I actually get a foothold on one of these and get up back up here? It looks like I might actually be able to. Oh my god, look at that. Ah, [ __ ] [ __ ] All right, you know what? I'll never learn what the cans are for. I'll never learn the mystery of the cans. I know I could go back and I could try to one footy on them all over the place, but I'm not going to do that. There's a tree here and a teeter totter and I don't know what it's for. So, I want to see like all this seems like some kind of Oh, wait. They said, didn't they say it was like a no touch sculpture park? And have I not been touching them all over the place? I feel like that might be uh reflecting poorly upon me as a person, but honestly, I fell over. So, you should feel bad for me and allow me to some leeway in terms of judging me. So, honestly, I'm going to judge YOU CUZ [ __ ] YOU. I'M SORRY. Blow everything up. Okay. What's the deal with this? Oh, there is fruit up there. My god, a lot of fruit in this area. There probably was a lot of fruit in the other room, too. I just didn't do it. All right. What do we got? Neither seen nor saw wished for by Steven. The artist intended this as a biting critique of the frivvality of installation media, but unwittingly created a thought-provoking juxtaposition of the procarity of childhood and its enduring permanence. Uh, well, I just bet that that's going to probably tippy toppy when I go on it. So, I don't know if the whole thing is that I need to hurry or what's the deal? Oh, actually, how do I even get around this? It's impossible. I could never do it. I did it. Okay. So, it would start tippy topping, right? There it goes. Okay. So, the thing about it is Whoa. Okay. What in the [ __ ] was that about, dude? So, I just need to be quick, right? Probably. There's nothing really I could put on this other end, and I I wouldn't want that anyway. Okay. It's just a matter of It's just a speed thing. It's actually one of the few things in this game I've ever seen that actually moved, which is interesting. All right, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Come on. Okay, we got to get around this. Get around this. Get around. Oh, come on. Nah. Damn, that's hard. Huh? Whoa. Are you Oh, no. Okay, I'm charging with potential energy. I'm relishing in the potential of the energy that I feel. I'm quivering with potential energy. So, I wonder if I could using momentum and then Okay, but it doesn't help if I'm not quick. IT DOESN'T HELP IF I MISS. Way to go, buddy. Really uh doing everybody proud here. Thanks. Thanks, pal. Like that. What? I didn't even move. My stick wasn't even going to the It's probably because slid off the the bar or something. Yeah, it did that. It just like shoved it the other way. Okay. So, what I'm going to do So, I'm going to make it go down. I'm going back up. Whoa. Easy there. Give it some momentum going this way. Now, I'm going to charge it. What? Ah, that would have been it if I'd have gotten my foot in the right spot. Okay, so to get around this bar, I got to plant my my left foot very close to the bar and then swing around cuz otherwise it's not going to work. Okay, what the [ __ ] Okay, I got to have my left foot planted properly close to the left side where I'm moving and then it's easy. It is literally easy. That's closer. Put it closer. I got to like, you know, in track and field when you do hurdles because all of us have done hurdles at one point in our life, right? Everybody knows how hurdles work. Ordinarily in hurdles, you you you can't stutter step. But in this I abs What the [ __ ] has happened? What the [ __ ] has happened? We got this. No stutter step. I mean, yes. God damn it. I stuttered two stuttery step. It's cuz I don't have my goddamn Stadia controller. God damn it. I don't know why that didn't show up. I've been hesitant to order another one, but I got to hurry up because it's like I remember seeing something about the the time to convert it to what I what to like the Bluetooth version, which is what I want is running out or something. I can't remember what it said. Might have missed the window already, honestly. No, I I bet if if you can do it, then you then I could buy a used one that has had the conversion done to it. Okay, I'm getting worse at this. I don't know why. There's a thing about this with the knee is when you lift the knee, it prevents you from getting closer. So, you have to be a very specific distance away if you want to get your foot any closer than what you're allowed to do. I just want to get my foot No, that's not right. God damn it. Come on. What are you What are we doing? What are we doing here? What are we doing? What are WE DOING? GOD, WHAT ARE WE [ __ ] DOING? What are you [ __ ] doing, man? Come on. The [ __ ] is wrong with you? This is why I I think I know why they don't have many moving objects in this game is because the physics gets really wonky trying to interact with the the the uh the the physical object as you're doing your Nathan for you [ __ ] Nope. Right there. That's how you do it. Touch it. What the [ __ ] man? What the [ __ ] What the [ __ ] The distances that it it it like defaults to are really weird. No, that's not going to do it. I'm It's something about the way that I'm stepping just perfectly times it out so that my foot is in the wrong spot. um when I get to the top of the thing. And for some reason, I don't know why, but my legs are spplaying to the right. I I don't know if there's some kind of bias default to that or something, but it's it's it's causing problems when I'm trying to figure out, you know, a straight path. OH YES. OH YES, BABY. OH YES, ALL MY complaining before. Ignore it. Elixian, make me sound like I had other confidence the entire time. If you make me look bad, I will you into the stratosphere again. Even though I just did that. Okay, never mind. Let's not shaped like a star. It's a star fruit. There you go. Good. Very good. Now, it certainly was shaped like a star, and that made the experience of eating it all the more enjoyable for me. STAR. OKAY, MAN. All right. Uh, also, I'm very glad that I didn't go in the well. I think that if I had gone in the well, it would have ended very poorly for me, and I would have been very upset, and I think that there's no way that that could have been good for anybody. I know there's a big orange ball there, but I'll just have to leave that for someone else. It's not my problem. Yay. All right. I think I saw Well, I saw under the under the floor of the level there, which makes me worried about falling down to forever cuz I feel like if I clip through the ground here, it's not going to be very forgiving. It just put me back up where I was. I think it's going to teleport me down, down, down, and down some more. Um, but I think I saw another kind of fruit tree by that house over there. But how do I even get to the house? It's on a It's on a landslide. Actually, even getting to the the towers alone is not as clear a path as I thought it was going to be. Let me see if I can get to that house first. It might be easier than I think. Or it might not. If this is a giant ravine. Oh my god. Is it a giant ravine? Holy [ __ ] It's a It's not just a ravine. It's a river. Oh, [ __ ] that. Oh my god. If that river flows all the way Oh my god. Is that a zipline? Oh god, it's a zipline, isn't it? I'm suddenly terrified. That river is not going to be nice. That river is going to be the worst thing imaginable for me. It's going to send me back. I'm so worried about getting sent back to like the desert. I could deal with getting sent back anywhere because the desert alone is like I know it would take so long to get back. I don't know if if that even exists in this game. I had a sneaking suspicion the well was kind of there, but I don't know. Red light, green light came into our realm along with Jesse. Okay, this concludes the tour. Please refrain from attempting to ride on the zipline. I don't think I can I can't exactly use my hands. So, I don't think that that would even be a thing that I could do. There's I I wouldn't even be able to do it. Why would What? Okay, there's nothing to gain. I'm not gonna like jump over there. It's not going to work. I should just go. Oh my god. Do not tip over right now. I'm so paranoid. Okay, I see some kind of a of Not this close to the edge, my guy. Not this close to the edge, please. I see some kind of uh stairway over there. Maybe that could be something that will help me. Okay, well, I can fall that way. If so long as I just don't fall the other way, I'll be I'll be happy. Man, this this level's bigger than I thought it would be. I wonder if it's keeping track of how many steps I've taken in this entire journey. That'd be an interesting metric to know. Okay, that does seem to have a bridge that gets across. It's There's a minecart in the way, which I don't like. I have to kind of sneak around that. What is that? How am I How do new things just appear? Oh my god, it's another fruit. Damn, there's a lot of fruit here. Okay, this doesn't seem so bad. It just depends on how difficult these slide downs are. Okay. So, do I need to just slide down? I mean, I can probably do that. Nice. Good thing I've actually had quite a bit of practice sliding already. So, okay. just I keep wanting to drift to the right and it's not really my favorite thing. Okay, just got to slide down which I'm very used to. Okay. Can't see [ __ ] Can't see [ __ ] Can't see [ __ ] Godamn you. Can't see [ __ ] God, I can't see [ __ ] Okay, one more slide down, which is no problem. My My foot almost got caught there. But me and do this first try. No problem. That's a bit far. Okay, let me just put my foot a little closer. Wish I could see that. Can't see [ __ ] Let me get a little closer. I'm just Can't see [ __ ] Love that. I can't see. All right, that's as close as I can. Oh, is that an apple? I don't I don't No, it smells too floral. That was so floral. It wasn't an apple. It was more crispy and delightful. Yes, that was so good. Wax jumbo. Oh, what? Apparently, this is a wax jumbo. I've never heard of that. I don't even know if that's real. Okay. What are these things? I know that the uh the the like stairs in the mine cart was off to the left here. I'm just making sure there's nothing else here that could be of assistance. Okay, this doesn't look like it actually has any benefit. It just looks like a bunch of steel girders. I don't even care. I'm moving on. Oh, good. That looks like a spiral staircase up there. So, it at least has something. I don't even know if that's going to help me. Doesn't seem to be attached to the top of the mountain. So, not sure if that's correct. Oh my god. Is that a bathroom over there? Jesus Christ. It might just be. Okay. Oh my god. Be careful. Oh my god. Be careful. Oh god, I'm going to be sick. Okay. Well, I see those. Um, okay. I think I overshot where I was supposed to go. Okay. I'm not seeing any kind of entrance. Salt mine. Eh. Well, that's something. I mean, I could try to fall down. I wouldn't want that to be my only option because the river is below that and Oh, no. It's definitely not not here anyway. Okay. Is there any way into the Okay, I see a wooden beam down there. Wish I could see a bit better. Uh oh god. Do Oh my god, I see it. It's in the bottom there. I have to walk along the Okay, I'm willing to bet that's it. There's like some rock ledges that will start to go down right around here or maybe actually farther out. Okay, carefully carefully carefully carefully carefully carefully carefully. Okay, so see that there? I think that's part of it. And it looks like maybe over to the left. It could be. This is tricky. Okay. Yeah, that's definitely wherever that starts is. Oh, man. But that's so that's really narrow. H I hate that. All right. Okay. Let's just [ __ ] do it then. Hey, worst things worst. I I fall. I flow into the river. The river sends me careening off into the abyss of foreverness. And then I I die. I see it does loop. Look, the house is over there. It's kind of a loop. It does loop. It's a terrible, terrible loop. But it is a loop. Oh god, please tell me that's not it. Oh my god. Is that it? That makes me nauseous. Oh god, that makes me so nauseous. Is that it? Oh [ __ ] That's it, isn't it? That is the worst. That is absolutely the worst I've ever seen. Oh my god. This is awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. That's horrible. That's horrible. Horrible. Oh my god. Please don't. Oh, it's not that bad. Okay, that's doable. I just got to put my foot close to the edge. I can't see where the edges. And I just got to set a foot down below there. Oh [ __ ] God. Holy [ __ ] Oh my god. Well, I'm in it now. Oh my god. Here we go. [ __ ] Don't like that. Jes. Okay, we're on the path. No, wait. What the [ __ ] No. Wait. What do you mean? Wait. No. Oh god. I thought we were on the path. Oh, there's no [ __ ] way. Wait. Oh my god. No. No. There's no way. Plus, I can't see anything. This is going to push me off. Okay, I might be able to get back out. I maybe, just maybe, might be able to get back out. Oh my god, this was the worst idea. Why did I do this? Oh god. Okay, upsy daisy. I'm out. Well, I'm never doing that again. I I I almost boned myself into forever. But I The thing is I did see like a board connected. I don't know why. It really looked like this was the entrance. But unless I have to like slide down somewhere in a controlled way, which I don't know if that's going to happen. It looks like it it should like theoretically be passible, but I don't know. That's too risky. It's sliding down onto a sloped edge, which all of that spells bad. I'm going to I will tumble and fall and I will die and I will go into the water and I will sl I will I'll be so [ __ ] Before I commit to this one, let me just look over here where it gets rocky right here cuz if I can if I'm going to slide and there's like a comparable slide but it's a little closer to where I'm going for, that's what I would hope for. But I don't know if I'm going to No. No, no, no, no, no. I don't even know where that Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. All right, let's just do it. Let's just do it. Let's just do it. Maybe the river won't be that bad. I can swim in water. I do know that. So, maybe it might not be automatically uh dunzo, you know. Let's do it. Once I'm in this one though, if if I land it, if I land it at all, then I'm in it for good. So, let's just [ __ ] do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Right. Yep. Did it. Okay. Nailed that. Totally possible. God damn. I'm good. We're still We're still sliding. We're still Why are we sliding? I don't know. Okay, hold on. Jesus Christ, that was so [ __ ] close. Oh no. We're good. We're good. I do not like how much I'm sliding on this slant. Uh, this bodess almost nothing for me there. Good lord. What the [ __ ] I think my goal here is to not try to go for grabbing on that ledge. I think that's just death. I think I just slipped down here to to this spot here. There we go. Okay. Oh my god. Thank [ __ ] I stopped. Oh my god. I've never been so puckered. Okay, can get a foot up. I don't trust that footing. Yes. Okay, there's a weird red rock right there. And I think this is going to be a stable spot so that I can get a foot up on here. Yep, just like that. Okay, I see the path. It's down. It's not up. It's down. But this could be very slippery rock. But you see that wooden beam right there? That's what I'm going for. So, I'm going to try to make sure that I'm staying as far left of this as possible because it's going to be slippy. Oh god. Yep. It's going to be slippy. I knew that. [ __ ] [ __ ] Okay, you're fine. Watch your your [ __ ] head there, Nathan. Come on. You're good. You're good. You're good. I have to like side step along this. Oh, they couldn't make it easy on me. What the [ __ ] I'm just going to have to side step. Whoa. Easy there, pal. Okay, let me think about this because there's a problem. There's the knee problem, right? So, the knee problem. No, if I if I'm going backwards on it, I think that would be even worse. I might not need to side step it. If I can get my feet. Okay, that almost lost something there. Okay. Oh my god. I'm not out of the woods yet. I'm not going to relax. I'm not going to breathe. Oh my god. What the [ __ ] Please tell me that was the only way to go and that I did something incredible. Okay, so this seems relatively easy. Well, easy. There's a lot of gaps in this um in the on the rail here. I wish I could see my [ __ ] feet. It's like it's like each time I do this, I got to flip the side so I can see where the foot is going to land. Okay, I need to go over here. Okay, then I need to walk on this rail, which is what I've been doing anyway. Not a problem. Very dainty. so I need to get across. Not an issue. I'm trusting that my feet are landing somewhere good. God damn it. And I'm back on the rail. Oh, is that the salt mine? There's a slight gap in the boards there. I'm just going to keep walking on the rail because at least I know there's no gaps. Okay, that foot is getting real close to the edge there. I don't like it. And I'm in the salt mine. Okay. Is this something where I can kind of get comfortable? I don't know. You know, I could have just gone on the rail like this. I I don't know what I was being so afraid about. Okay. I'm in the salt mine. I don't know how the hell I got here. I don't know how I did any of that. That made no sense. And here I fall just cuz I want to get one out of the way so I don't have to worry about anything like that ever again. Holy man. That was awful. My foot stuck. Okay, so that is something that could have happened. Thankfully, it seems a little difficult to uh get too stuck in here. Up we go. Why? Why? WHY? HEY. WHOA. NO WAY. SO, this is where I Come on, man. Dude, you've made What the [ __ ] I I made it that far with the most pixel perfect moves I've ever made in my life, and now I can't [ __ ] walk. Ow. Right on the taint. Actually, I think that might have been right on the butthole. I don't know what your problem is, man. At least you can do it when it counts. Hey, what's up? What's up, man? Oh, hey. Hey, Moose. Oh, hey, buddy. Oh, no. What happened to you? Oh, I just got a little wet. Uh, what? No, I didn't. Didn't uh think of taking the zipline over there. Oh, no. Well, let's get you warmed up. Come over here, by the way. No, I didn't get wet at all. I was You want one? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I beat the game at its own game. I did not get wet, man. Uh what uh what are you doing with all that wood? Oh, this I I'm taking it up to my cabin in the mountains. Building a little toilet, don't you know? Toilet? Yeah. Uh yeah. Labor of love. What? Where did you say that cabin was again? Oh, shadow of the mountaintop. Like right up there. Really high. Oh, yeah. But where are you headed? Oh. Uh, mountain top. Mountain top. Yeah, just the mountain top like the summit. You uh know there is nothing up there, right? Yeah. Uh yeah, just a white triangle. Uh no, just uh but it's for the thrill of the climb. Oh, it's thrilling to you. Yeah. Uh yep. Just feet, huh? Yeah, just feet. Oh, okay. Looks like this one's ready. Oh, thanks. How do you like it? It was a little undercooked. Oh, didn't realize we had an expert among us. Maybe you should uh show Moose how it's done. Okay, you just I kind of just stick it right in there. Oh, it's catch a fire. I want a marshmallow, not a briquette. No, no, no. It's good. It makes a crunchy crust. Here, try that one. Okay. Oh, they're friends. Oh, that's nice. Also, I did not get wet because I was not in the water. I was not in the river. I didn't even get close. Through pure skill, did I do that? Okay. Oh, look who it is. Nice. Uh, hey, Mike. Ah, hi Ethan. Moose. Yeah. Yeah. Moose to you, too, buddy. Mate, there was uh there's something that's been bothering me. I was just talking to Jim. He said you turned down his lantern. Oh, yeah. I was thinking to myself, how'd you get through the fortress? That's crazy. Oh, yeah. No, not a problem. Didn't you stub your foot? No, I just ran right through there. Nate, always doing everything the hard way. It's incredible. Am I up top? Yep. Yeah. All right, Slatter. Oh, yeah. Slada. Just doing it the hard way, huh? Oh. Oh, no. Yeah. No, that was that was just [ __ ] you know. Oh, yeah. Just just [ __ ] Where'd you say you were headed again? Huh. Well, I got a lot to get on with. I got to build this toilet. Oh, yeah. Well, maybe I'll I'll see you tonight. Yeah, maybe. Uh, see you. Oh yeah. Okay. Yeah, please. And come on, man. Admit when people are helping you, man. Come on. That's not cool, man. He gave you his lantern. I mean, yeah, it was weird that he turned down Jim and his 20 lanterns, but yeah. Come on, man. Moose really was Moose. Moose. I mean, you helped Moose out by taking the lantern because he was embarrassed about that. But um so really, you did him a favor, so he's not really he's not really the one that helped you, but all the same. All the same, man. Man, come on, man. All right. I don't even know where I'm going, man. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know where I'm going. I don't know what I'm doing. Oh, man. What even is this place? I know it said it was a salt mine, but I don't know. Hey, look. That looks like I could jump across there. Time for a little shorty cut. This is going to go super good. If I did all those deathdeying things, I think I can do a little bit of a gap. I think I can handle a little gap. I can handle a gap. I can handle a gap with the best of them. Oops. Fall right at the top. That's how I know that I'm doing good. Wait, is this is there another fruit here? God, how many fruit are there? I mean, I know there's a lot of fruit. I don't know how many fruit there are, but I've had a lot of fruit. Is that a watermelon? Some kind of a melon? Looks like a melon. Not sure how it's growing on a tree. Well, [ __ ] me then, man. What the [ __ ] Come. Oh, you [ __ ] [ __ ] What the hell, man? I had that. What did you do that for? Everything was going great. Then you I mess it all up. How did I mess that up? I've done such good slides before. Okay, that one is particularly difficult, apparently. Whoa. Okay. This is weird. It's a little slippier here than it would suggest. H. Whoa. Again, a little slippier here. Okay. That looks like I should go that way, but my my gut tells me go this way instead. I'm not going to go for that. The metal girder there seems like to be a bit Okay. I'm in trouble. I'm in trouble. I'm in trouble. I'm in [ __ ] What the [ __ ] MAN? WHAT THE [ __ ] TRYING TO RUN THIS WAY. EASY. This This gap is nothing. Right. That gap is nothing. Easiest gap in the world. No problem to me whatsoever. Easy. God damn, I'm good. God damn, I'm good. Oh, wait. What the [ __ ] Wait, wait a minute. Wait, what the [ __ ] Wait. Huh? Can I push this? No. Then wait. How? Wait. Oh, do I go up around? I think I go around it. Okay, I see. I thought for a second there. That was weird. God, you're fine, man. You're fine. I'm sure this is going to work out great. Yep. Oh [ __ ] What the Oh [ __ ] Then how? Oh man. I was supposed to go up higher. Then why the It was all a red herring or something. Is that what this was? God damn it. Was I supposed to go along the wall? What was I supposed to do? What was I supposed to do? Oh my god. Oh no. That would have been impossible. I don't think that could have been done. That must have been a way up. Oh, [ __ ] off. All right, that was a big waste of time, everybody. Don't worry about thing. If only I could jump. Okay, so but there must be another thing for up here. This looks important. Okay, I don't know about this one, guys. Can't see a thing. Ow, my dick. Oh, that was easier than I thought. Okay, I just need to be facing the right way. All right, that's good to know, but that's not a good enough grip. Okay, we're up. All right. Was there even a point to any of this? I mean, I know the rails kind of out there, so yeah, maybe. And then there's probably a way to get up higher. And then the fall forward. This is going to get slippy unless I'm right on the ledge. There we go. Easy. No trouble at all. And I think I see the upy path to that fruit. Is it worth getting? I mean, it's not like I the the path to get to here is actually pretty easy. I just happen to take a really stupid way most of the time. So, honestly, it wouldn't be that bad to go. Whoa. All right. So, let's see about just Okay, never mind. Every time I think that I'm like, "All right, I'm on the path." And then Savi said, "No, I am not on the path." Would love it if I could get up there, but I don't think that's going to happen. God damn it. Let me just go down here real quick and see if this gap is something that can be achievable. Oh, it might. Oh, no. No way. No way. That's too far. Maybe that slant is enough that I could scramble up it. It's a pretty steep slope, but it's not it's not the Okay, maybe not. Yeah, I don't think so. Okay, but I'm down here. So, does this go anywhere? All right. up. Why did I even bother to try? I'm just going to go up the [ __ ] stairs. And if there's a way to drop down on the watermelon, I'll do that. Clearly, me trying to be smart is not working out for me. So, I'm just going to give it up while I'm ahead. And I'm just going to go up the stairs and then continue on the way that I should have done ages ago. Oh, I had all that success with going up the vertical side of the mountain to the point where I tricked the game into thinking that I had to go in the water, which I didn't. I didn't at all. I was never wet to begin with, yet it said I was cuz it's dumb and I'm smart. Something like that. Anyway, I'm waddling. What is this? A simple little bridge? Oh god. Oh my god. Oh [ __ ] That looks like I might actually get wet after all. So, what I need to do is just go quickly, right? That's the trick. Well, I'm good at going quickly. Oh my god, I did it. I'm the best. I'm the best. I'm the best that ever was. I'm the best. Oh my god. Look at me. Well, that was Am I even going the right way? I don't even know where I'm supposed to go. This doesn't make any sense at all. Where did Where did Where did Moose go? Moose. Wonder if there's a way that I could ride that up. Probably not. Hi. Whoa. Easy there, Bucko. This is a bit of a precipitous here, which means that we got to take this a little slow, one at a time. Can I even make that? Oh, it's just a different version of the one that I did before. It might be a longer gap, though. I don't know about that one. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, please get up. Yes, yes, Nathan, rise. That's a little scary. It's moderately less scary. This is rather terrifying. Okay, let's Can we Why are we not Why are we not angling forward the way we should be? That is a doozy of a gap. But it's not that bad if I put my foot down there. Good lord. I don't know. Oh, there we go. Then I just need to reach over. Here we go. Oh, I was so close. [ __ ] off. [ __ ] man. Wonder what's over here. Seems, weirdly enough, like a way to get out, huh? All right, then. I think I can work with this. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Oh, [ __ ] That worked weirdly well. Uhhuh. Uhhuh. Well, this looks promising. This looks very promising. I don't know in what way, but I see a ghosty thing there, so that must be something. Okay, I just got treated like a ladder. Make sure that my my foot is properly over these things. Oh, [ __ ] off. Whoa, Nathan. That was nuts. I thought I was going to fall for sure. AND I'VE DONE IT. I'M THE GREATEST THAT ever lived. Oh, I bet I could ride that. That seems like something I could ride. I see nothing bad could happen from this. I just step up there and step off. That's it. Easy. [ __ ] And then step off. WHOA. WHAT THE [ __ ] NO. OKAY. WOW. That actually is weird. Oh. Oh. Uh, what the [ __ ] Camera. Okay. Oh god. Am I What do I do? What? What? Wait, what do I do? Oh my god, there's so many fruits over here. Could I I I'm not not entirely sure what I I'm supposed to be doing. I got to get out of here. I got to get out of here. I'll try that again. It was not It was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm just going to point it out. I thought that I'd be falling down more uh distance than I did. And in reality, it was not that bad. And I I might have overreacted just a little bit there. Ah, nailed it. Why did I come up here? Well, anyway, I'll figure that mystery out in the next episode. Thank you everybody so much for watching. Let me know what you thought down in the comments below. Uh there's plenty more mountain to climb, but hey, I'm getting closer. I see that stairway. It I think it might have something to do with riding those up, but I don't know. I don't know. I'm sounding more like Nathan every episode. Thank you, and as always, we'll see you in the next video. Bye-bye.
