It honestly warms my heart that this game hasn’t died I remember playing it on the Xbox 360 because it was a free game with gold and I fell in love with it countless summer nights where spent grinding with my friends tell 5 in the morning before our parents woke up for work good memories XD

[shadowfang]

For the last tip the more important thing for elemental resistance is that some towers dont effect them rather than your weapons.
Poison res enemies will just walk through gas traps and ensnare auras without problem unless your remove their resistance through a strength drain aura or darkness trap.
This is important in endgame because lightning towers are used a lot and you have to remove the lightning res of enemies to even hit them with that

I’m glad the community is still alive for this series xD DDA is still super fun

[daniellehmann]

I recently started playing pc DD when i played on ps3 back when. thankyou for sparking that excitement and joy for playing DD again. my favorite map was mirago so i will def be playing more of that again!

[clobzz]

#23 theres actually loads of hotkeys like this that do different things, like P hiding your towers on the map, B swapping between not showing colors on gear, not showing beams on gear (transcendent and above) and then showing colors and beams, ctrl b switching between beam du snapping (for EV defenses) and not snapping, ctrl c for enabling in game censor (something youll discover much much later once you reach the highest quality in the game, ultimate++), etc etc, so knowing these hotkeys and whatnot is very good to know!

[urbanponcho]

Loved dd since I was a kid. I’ve had sm fun coming back to it.

[mbkiller]

100% the most underrated game of all time.

[Zentiu]

tip 34: dont be afraid to mix and match defences from diffirent characters. It helps you do difficult maps without having to need high stats :P

By the way, this is an amazing guide for new players. 😄

[andrewstambaugh]

I was stressing picking up/not missing items. Thanks for showing i don't need to do that. I only need to pick up good items, which saves the massive sorting later

[oiram]

Loved this game on ps3 or 4 been a long time. Used to run with 3 friends so being able to multibox on pc will make my solo run feel less of a hassel running around getting towers set up.

[rando]

Your channel is great, glad someone is keeping the game alive like this

[clobzz]

Gigachad Retro Pat sharing his knowledge with the community, what a guy <3

[Kailez]

Great video man, reliving childhood is so crazy 😂

[kalebgartin]

Just finished downloading it 😈 now that I’m done with this guide it’s time to reminisce on the good days 🔥🔥 definitely got a sub from me

[JRPJuju]

Glad to see this game is still kicking 11 years later. I used to play with my friends back in high school on a base model PS3 with bad thermal paste 😂

Just got on PC yesterday and am looking forward to diving back in.

[codyembrey]

Just started playing in 2025. How funny lol

[herrdave]

This video is absolutely fantastic!

You covered a ton of points I never even knew about, thanks!

What do you make of the alternative classes? (Adept, Countess, Ranger & Initiate)

[Nauzhror]

The QR code actually does work, it looks to be a message from one of the devs, and references a new game they are working on.

[vasserdrachen]

The student has become the substitute teacher! Lets hope that one day he gets his PhD after an entertaining Dungeon Defenders adventure! Thanks for the video brother.
