    Lost Kingdoms (Day 9) – Volcanoes, Skeletons, and One Very Angry Turtle

    Princess Katia braves the lava fields of Mount Jarndunn, uncovers the strange secrets of Ruh-Arok Temple, and gains access to one of the most absurdly overpowered cards in Lost Kingdoms. Unfortunately, she also has to endure one of the game’s worst levels to get it.

  • Lost Kingdoms (Day 8) – Trial by Fire…and Poison

    Lost Kingdoms (Day 8) – Trial by Fire…and Poison

    Katia takes on Helena in a chaotic runestone duel before surviving the brutal gauntlet of Lake Bestriel. Limited cards, poisoned waters, and a Hydra standing in the way—this is Lost Kingdoms at its most unforgiving.

  • Lost Kingdoms (Day 7) – Cathedral Crawls and a whole ass Dracula

    Lost Kingdoms (Day 7) – Cathedral Crawls and a whole ass Dracula

    Castle Whyt brings the gothic atmosphere, Grenfoel Church brings the candles, and somehow Dracula shows up. Day 7 of Race to Git Gud is equal parts missed loot and unexpected wins.

  • Lost Kingdoms (Day 6) – Giant Flies and Dead Guys

    Lost Kingdoms (Day 6) – Giant Flies and Dead Guys

    After a months-long break, the Race to Git Gud returns with Lost Kingdoms. A brutal battlefield, a Zombie Dragon, and one very short-lived reunion push Katia closer to Castle Wyht—whether the player is ready or not.

  • Lost Kingdoms (Day 5) – Master of Puppets

    Lost Kingdoms (Day 5) – Master of Puppets

    Katia crosses a beautiful bridge full of horrors, gets yelled at by a king in denial, and descends into crystal-lined mines filled with monsters, cowardly soldiers, and moral quandaries. Runestone secured. Card missed. Progress questionable.

  • Lost Kingdoms (Day 4) – Castle Doctrine

    Lost Kingdoms (Day 4) – Castle Doctrine

    Katia stomps through Castle Grayl’s armor-lined hallways, detonates one too many Will-o-Wisps, and duels a hooded runestone bearer with main-character energy.

  • Lost Kingdoms (Part 3) – Sewer Sludge and Snowy Peaks

    Lost Kingdoms (Part 3) – Sewer Sludge and Snowy Peaks

    Katia trudges through one of FromSoftware’s most obnoxious sewers, hunts a not-that-Mind-Flayer, and then gets sent to play fantasy DoorDash in the snowy mountains of Rohbach—all in search of her missing father.

  • Lost Kingdoms (Part 2) – Giant Bees and Graveyards

    Lost Kingdoms (Part 2) – Giant Bees and Graveyards

    Katia takes the long way down into Dahi-Hok Valley, swats a small army of Giant Bees, picks a fight with a giant chicken, and then heads to the spooky Burial Grounds for one of Lost Kingdoms’ first real boss checks.

  • Lost Kingdoms (Part 1) – Decks, Dragons, and Depressing Fog

    Lost Kingdoms (Part 1) – Decks, Dragons, and Depressing Fog
