For the past year I've been working on getting good at KTANE modding, as its modding scene is really good.

My current long-term goal is to defuse a 101 module bomb called the Centurion. Joining me in my adventures are EthanH59 and PowerSlaveAlfons, and with them we've slowly been learning all the modules required for the Centurion. We are almost there, having learnt 105 out of the 110 required at the time of finishing this bomb.

Any bomb of 47 modules or more is apparently noteworthy though, and this is the third such bomb we've disarmed. I decided to take the time to make a Youtube presentable video of it while I'm at it, showing the POVs of me on the bomb, as well as some from PowerSlaveAlfons and EthanH59, who are experting.

This is a bomb called 'Doringkloof', which can be found in the pack 'Road To Centurion', a campaign pack I made myself dedicated to train new KTANE players to working towards the Centurion and beyond. The bomb is a bit different from 'Eldoraigne' and 'Irene', which come before in the pack. (49 modules, no needy, 5 strikes, 50 minutes). The selection of modules is slightly different, and while there was no needy this time around, there was still plenty to kepe the defuser occupied. IMO this one was tougher.

Ethan and PSA are doing the brunt of the work, which is divided between the two of them, using their notepads and manuals to perform the right operations that will solve the module. Meanwhile I relay all the information they need to solve their modules to them, and receive back the final instructions from them to perform, as well as perform the necessary setups. As the defuser, I am not allowed to look at the manuals or take notes, but certain modules I am able to do solo from memory.

======== What is KTANE? ========
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a local multiplayer party game for two or more players. The objective of the game is to defuse a bomb before time runs out by using the instructions found in the Bomb Defusal Manual.

One player takes the role of the bomb Defuser. All other players take the role of Experts who must use the Bomb Defusal Manual to guide the Defuser through the challenging task of defusing a bomb.

======== What are these mods? ========
The mission pack is Road to Centurion:

As of writing this, this particular bomb has not been released to the public yet. It will be eventually. However, 'Irene', the bomb from the previous video, is now available!

The modules are many. I've conglomerated a manual that contains all modules that can possibly appear on this bomb, though only some will:

You may not see these manuals in particular in use though, as both PSA and Ethan are mostly working from a custom-made manual made by themselves. A logfile is available that can be looked at after the bomb is complete:
