This video is part 2 of an ongoing series. Here’s the link to part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T75B4TaCmlU
Box Fox? I'm going to quote one of my favorite childhood books, which is exactly where my mind went when you said "Box Fox."
"Would you eat them in a box? Would you eat them with a fox?" – Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Suess
Useless items in video games are common,but what makes it more insane is that we need to do these crazy attempts just to get that item. Can we blame ourselves that we get so curious of getting these things.
Thor's hammer in AC valhalla
Isn’t the box fox a reference to Metal Gear Solid? Because you are a part of foxhound and can hide in a box?

I think #4 is based on the Harvest Moon
I like the Silent Hill pipe, it's referencing an old fable about a woodcutter losing his axe in a similar fashion with a story playing out the same way. Neat little bit to have in the game, even if it really serves little purpose
8:45 "R U Poor?"
9:55 You know that Balan Wonderworld is gonna flunk when it doesn’t even have a name that rolls off the tongue. Falcon called it Balan Wonderland. TWICE.
It says Balan Wonderworld RIGHT THERE
The Stone of Agony is literally shaped like the N64 Rumble Pak. Pretty shocking that they didn't include the feature in either Wii/U versions, given they were pretty proud of their controllers.
Sewer fairy!! 🤣 Coming to give you some pipe lol
Gotta love Falcon's style in these vids. He truly speaks from the heart. It's very extreme when he talks about the Zelda Rupee item thingy 😁
But man, you reminded me of how I wasted an hour or more platforming in Elden Ring to get that Dragoncrest Talisman. I had the other stronger variants already when I got it, and I was so bummed. I wish I googled that spot before I went into that jump/die/repeat loop 🤣🥲
I always thought the box Fox was an Easter egg for Metal Gear. Fox/Hound and Snake using a box for camouflage? Idk, maybe it’s just me🤣
Fox box is a reference to metal gear….
For elden ring, they should do an update switching the place of the best and worst one of those.
Number 4 is a reference to the harvest moon games
Not an item really, but from what I've heard? Aeris's final limit break in FF VII. Jump through a bazillion hoops to get it, I forget what. The limit break itself is actually something you'd be glad to have, and on its own would make the journey worth it. The problem in the end? Well…we all know Aeris's fate. So why bother doing it again in a different playthrough?
I hear you trashing the giants knife again.
You know you can take it to the Giant Goron at the top of the mountain and have him fix it so it doesn't break right??
He has sore eyes from a recent eruption so you have to go through quite a long quest to get him eye drops. Once he has them he is able to get back to his metal work and will fix the sword out of gratitude for the eye drops.
The giants knife will then be the indestructible Big Gorons Sword.
Get ready to speed run for it
The Dragoncrest shield talisman is slightly useful if you know how to get to it already and you know how to get to that area in the first 30 minutes of playing. Gives you a tiny edge early game. But yeah, to most people, completely pointless.
In Rune Factory 4 (maybe also other games in the series but that one I know for certain), there's actually a reference to the Secret Boots from Castlevania, the Secret Shoes. As with Castlevania's, all they do is make you taller… Which is pretty well useless in a mostly top down 2.5D game. That being said, they aren't fully useless in that game, having okay defensive stats for when you can make them. Not the best, but also not the worst.
There's also an upgrade item that pretty well is useless in those games, the Scrap Metal +. It reduces your weapon's attack to 1. Completely useless… Unless you're trying to minmax by farming one specific item, as there's an enemy that has a chance to drop a very useful upgrade item, but it's a very rare spawn in a late game area… That has… I think 2 HP, or maybe 5, with a chance to drop the item with every hit. So if you want to farm that item, you want a weapon that deals the least damage possible. Otherwise, an item that makes your weapon deal practically nothing is useless.
lol. Those pipes in that Resi game is just a reference to LoZ: A Link to the Past. It's how you get the enchanted boomerang, the Lv2 shield, the Lv4 sword and more importantly, the silver arrows.
