Skies of Arcadia | E22: Other Raiders of Lost Arks [Temple of Pyrynn]
We're flying across an idyllic vision of unspoiled wilderness. While taking in the sights, we're also flickering torch shadows with rapid texture maps, log rolling on barrels like (?) Donkey Kong, fighting tiki men chest guardians, killing turd transporters, massaging Chris' noodle, squaring off against Zivilyn Bane, turning lava into rocks with water, giving up on weapon colors, using a spine as a bridge, recovering a Moon Crystal, and imagining a problem free society guaranteed by access to nukes. The Valuans are going to have to take it off of my dead body before I hand it over to them. 00:00:00 Arcadia 00:03:23 Intro 00:05:39 Inside the Temple of Pyrynn 00:18:33 Lava Pit 00:27:51 Rokwyrm 00:34:28 Moon Crystal Chamber 00:42:36 Real Net 00:46:26 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Skies of Arcadia | E21: Stranded Bumpkin Protagonist Folk [Maramba, Part II]
It's been a while since we've had time to relax. Kick back while we're wondering why we have to ride a creature, going forth and seeking our fate, falling asleep right after work, ignoring a map and getting lost in a small sewer, realizing everything takes forever, patronizing a fortune teller, featuring Dr Robotnik's cousin, consuming spicy loqua, examining the dancer archetype, staying to watch the lady dance, conjuring a fake real sympathetic backstory, taking a ride from anyone, and observing a conspicuous pedestal outside the temple. See you around, handsome. 00:00:00 John Wick Simpson Sonic 00:02:53 Intro 00:04:39 Maramba, North Side 00:15:25 Fortune Teller 00:18:42 Tavern / Bellena 00:35:32 Maramba Inn 00:37:55 Departing Nasrad 00:51:08 Arriving at the Temple of Pyrynn 00:57:08 Real Net 01:06:14 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Skies of Arcadia | E20: It Gets Everywhere [Maramba, Part I]
Young desert traveler, stay a moment and listen to what I have to tell you. We have tales of voyaging through a concept art vision quest, subscribing to a moon science belief system, learning what money does, discovering a wandering bowl of water, saving sand in a bottle, abandoning the party, not drinking today, thinking this town would be bigger, staying hydrated, accounting for ventilation, losing heirlooms in a dry sewer, realizing all shops have names, smelling some sailors, creating strong color contrast, headbanging idly, headbutting the sales counter, doing squats on the roof, and wishing the young people would just listen to us. I'm terribly sorry, I've never seen the rest of the world before. # 00:00:00 The Resurrection of our Lord 00:01:35 Intro 00:03:21 Desert Approach 00:12:31 Discoveries 00:16:29 Ship Battles? 00:18:36 Abandoned 00:24:03 Maramba Port 00:32:06 Maramba, South Side 00:37:10 Maramba, South Side Indoors 00:46:18 Dhabu Access 00:49:09 Real Net 00:55:36 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Skies of Arcadia | E19: She Doesn't Know Your Deeds [To The Desert]
A man who lives by the skies? There is nothing more honorable than that. Well, except for breaking up with dad, telling mom goodbye, renewing the spirit of adventure, vowing to find all of the Moon Crystals, starting Fina at level 1, knitting for the whole game, cooking lunch with our eyes closed, being the guy who everyone is talking about, beating Domingo to discoveries, receiving the Black Spot, buying Secondary Cannons for the fighting boat, meeting a goth bounty hunter with awesome hair, recognizing that scar anywhere, and collecting too many little guys. This is my chance to find out what's really out there. 00:00:00 My Hero Christopher 00:04:02 Intro 00:05:32 Goodbye Forever, Sky Pirate Isle 00:17:48 Return to Sky Pirate Isle 00:23:31 Sailors' Island Check In 00:36:40 Piastol 00:48:46 Real Net 00:52:49 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Skies of Arcadia | E18: Danny DeVite [Adventure Embarkation]
If you can heal a boat, you can kill a boat. After we realized that, we tried slipping through the door by the skin of our teeth, liberating treasure that could help the needy, asking Fina about her "mission," calling upon 666, interpreting sketches of an ancient civilization, learning of The Rains of Destruction, favoring moon-based lore, setting out on a crystal quest, tolerating an annoying pet, checking in with the kids, loving a lazy bum, realizing Cupil is a Chewbacca situation, eating moonstones, and making sure all pirates are accounted for. I guess this is your chance to see what lies beyond the sunset. 00:00:00 Anime Shoes 00:02:11 Intro 00:04:05 Desperate Escape 00:07:03 Owned. 00:08:41 Lookout Island Lore Dump 00:27:16 Cupil 00:30:37 Sky Pirate Isle Check In 00:35:51 Sky Pirate Hideout Check In 00:44:21 Real Net 00:46:52 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Skies of Arcadia | E17: Terminator Hard Walk [Upper Valua & Rail Car]
If the gate closes, we're all dead. To break through, we'll have to practice looking through the looking glass, overselling the aristocracy, commissioning a silver toilet, lying about our family, eating delicious white bread, seeing a train for the first time, face-planting after a bridge leap, considering the Train Level, fighting on top of a moving train, taking off the cape, hard-walking for a fight, kicking down the door, falling over, giving the cops our real name, explaining piracy to fascists, exiting through the entrance, and finally firing the harpoon cannon. You did all this, just for me? 00:00:00 Anime Kid (derogatory) 00:01:35 Intro 00:04:22 Upper City Valua 00:17:35 Galcian Mad 00:19:56 Rail Car 00:29:01 Fina's Car 00:40:13 Little Jack To The Rescue 00:44:46 Little Jack vs Valuan Cruiser 00:49:39 Real Net 00:55:30 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Skies of Arcadia | E16: Mother, Of Course This Country is Wrong [The Rescue]
Why do you not rejoice with us? What's stopping you, and also us, from proceeding through the shitpipe, placating the lower class with public executions, killing the warden of spells, taking no prisoners, entering a secret sewer room, seeing a train for the first time, telling mother this country is wrong, making the empress too mean, expanding the meaning of "impossible," verbally whipping another motherboy, scattering six Moon Crystals across the world, trying to prevent nuclear proliferation, wondering what Ramirez did to Fina, and realizing we have completely ruined the world's only sewage processing plant. Let's lay low for a little while. 00:00:00 Well, At Least He's Dead 00:01:53 Intro 00:04:36 Coliseum Execution 00:07:22 Rescue Operation 00:16:21 Sewer Escape 00:19:05 Secret Sewer Room 00:28:58 Goodbye, Sewers 00:34:01 Fina's at the Imperial Palace 00:50:03 Real Net 00:59:33 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com

Skies of Arcadia | E15: Chalky Piss / Pissy Chalk [Catacombs]
If you don't like my ship, you can find yourself another one. While you're looking for it, listen to us as we're making dad pay for the hotel room, relaxing after a hard day, finding a dialogue divergence point, making decisions swiftly, clasping hands to boost up a jumper, chasing a pervert across rooftops, pooping straight into hell, completing the countdown to sewer, knowing there's always a way out of a storm, donning dot eyes, narrating the scene, swiping away chalk dust, thinking some poop looks edible, slicing through gelatinous waste, and traveling all the way back to Lower City to see if anyone has anything new to say. I just want you to see something interesting before you die. 00:00:00 Volcano Girls 00:02:19 Intro 00:04:15 Lower Valua Inn 00:14:11 Peeping Thomas 00:17:05 Pervert Interrogation 00:29:50 Lower City 00:33:40 Catacomb Sewers 00:42:06 Bleigock 00:47:39 Better Check On Lower City 00:49:23 Real Net Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com
