About expedition 60

expedition 60 is my favorite expedition, but their journal and their failure is probably one of the most important meta build hints in the game and it's ducking brilliant the way it's presented.

SPOILERS for those who beat the game but dont have the journal (somehow) expedition 60 was basically nothing but body builders who trained their bodies to peak humanity and ran around basically naked because everything weighed them down too much, and they got to the paintress in like a day this way. they shortly found out that she couldnt be beat so in the middle of fighting her and reaching the inevitable they sent one guy who tried to swim all the way back to lumiere and ALMOST made it. he drowned though.

in essence what this portrays is spec into your stats on your weapon and forgo any defense weapons as defense and armor is just worse than speed and vitality. its also a great nod to speedrunners.
