TRUE ENDING - FINAL BOSS - CRUSADER? | Darkest Dungeon 2 

The Penises of Pestilence

wait what time does reynauld show up? I don't have the time to watch the whole vid rn lmfao

@@mozz14378 I was actually memeing. I haven't watched it either bc I don't wanna spoil myself the end boss 😂

@Hooa whos hand vestal is holding btw?

@@koxacbka I think whoever she was horny for

@@Guille2033 bruhhhhhh 💀

How dare him

Nah, it's clearly Reynauld ascended stealing hope from the world

It's the immortal snail, the true final boss

we kleptoed the L

I like it thematically because only the affected person can damage the spectre, the others can only assist with status effects

​​@@buntado6 no matter how much others try to help, only we can truly banish our demons

​@@Fawful0...however support is always appreciated

i avoided spoilers since launch so going against the boss blind had me so nervous when that showed up

If thats the case, how is Dismas here?

From the beyond town event lol

@@DylanJo123 reynauld probably sacrificed himself to "come to your maker" to dismas give the last blow and leave the dungeon

From what I understand, and most of this is just a guess, but I think Reynauld and Dismas were there, but so was Josephine and one other mystery character... possibly Houndmaster/arbalest/musketeer, shieldbreaker, or BH. It's hard to tell, but Josephine being there would explain a *lot* about why she defected. Presumably at least one of the others would've had to get sacrificed, so it's unlikely that BH would've participated (it's technically possible to not have to sacrifice anyone, so they can get away with it, but it's unlikely to be canon) Either way, it writes off 2 characters neatly and sensibly, but 3 characters are still unaccounted for. Abom is accounted for in the academic's study, so perhaps the rest of them will be there as well? I hope they wrap up the rest of the stories, even if their ends were.... unfortunate

​@@yeiltrasreality1627 how is Abom "accounted for" in the studies?

Good news everyone! Reynauld is back and he’s even more of a klepto than ever.

Yeah, if I ever get through the Seething Sign of course...

@@user-xm9rt9xy6o rank 1 hellion is a good strategy with wicked hack and iron swan, you just need something to boost her damage.

@@user-xm9rt9xy6o I dispatched it with Malady Militia, you just need to have upgraded Acid Rain and Plague Grenade by the Mountain, so that Flag and PD (+ Vestal if needed) will be capable of dealing with the back lung easily whilst applying tick damage to the boss itself. The front lung can be removed with Leper most of the time.

You are underestimating it. I got destroyed by it on my first 2 attempts and only won on the third one with a single survivor. (I went 0-1-2-2-2 with deaths on confession bosses)

@@YoshiTheyosh123 You're probably right, as a person with 400 hours my opinion is probably just a little bit skewed. What I probably actually want is more ways to increase the difficulty like the infernal flame but I sometimes forget that most people don't have that much time in the game. I'd still be curious to know if it was your first time playing through the game or had been playing since EA.

@umbertorossin5977 I stayed away from EA, only played since launch. Beat Cowardice about 50 hours in. I did get 414 hours in the first Darkest Dungeon, but the games are quite different. (Recovery options are now all conditional and limited or have cool downs, which makes battles of attrition like the Body of Work possible. DD1 Vestal and Jester would've taken a dump on a long, but low damage output fight).

@@YoshiTheyosh123 Yeah, recovery as a whole is the aspect that's been changed the most in the second and I understand that when going in blindly such a long battle can simply drain you if not prepared. I've changed my mind a bit about the boss and while I still don't think it's incredibly hard it's probably on par with the other bosses in terms of difficulty, with a focus on team versatility and sustain. The fight is still awesome and I'm sure that for people like me who have way too many hours in the game there will be ways to increase difficulty even further.

@umbertorossin5977 It sure didn't help I didn't even get a "Face your reflection" on my first attempt. I killed a cherubim, saw it spawn a new one with Samsara and decided that's a waste of time, so I just tried to hammer away at him instead.

If we do get Reynauld or another religious fighter, I hope it's gonna be a fire-themed class. We need more of those.

No shot that red hook would allow a fan favorite to slip that easily, especially since we got Dismas back. Unless they explicitly state that Reynauld is gone, there’s always hope

Dlc return to the Manor, fight back the heart again with Reynauld

Yeah, I don't even want this game unless we get Reynauld back. I wouldn't necessarily say that the Crusader is my favorite since the Bounty Hunter, Leper, Shield breaker, and Grave Robber are all great candidates, but he's definitely way up there with them!

My bet is that we gonna get Loathing Crusader

quite frankly all motivation i had to buy this game and play it when it came out was gone when i realised that there was in fact no reynauld. how could they do my boy so dirty...

Forgot all about it tbh

@@ShuffleFM Yeah was a little sad to see that, it's such a cool detail to represent its influence

I love the idea of him being a stress/burn character

Thats what I like to think.

i think its the face your failures prompt.

It's a big cleave on your whole team that erases your positive tokens

I ran Carcass, and my solution was to not select her to face her failure

I only had 3 shrines unlocked on my flagellant when I faced this boss and my ghost didn’t do that 😦. I just thought it couldn’t be damaged

@@TheOptimistDelusion it didn't do that until it had already taken some damage, so I think it only amplifies what the flagellant has already done to it. All the ghosts seem to be completely invulnerable unless the character who is supposed to defeat it takes action to do so.

So, like, it stopped taking damage? I only had to do 3 exultations to it to kill it. I probably blew past some magic "stop taking damage here and offer a face your failure" set point while facing a previous failure. I also had 4 party members throwing damage its way. I had no idea what the fight was going to be so I'd focused on "whatever it is, race it down" so my group hit pretty hard. With 3 party members it's going to be hard to keep the cherubs down and still do damage. Which is where Alchemist PD comes in. Plague Grenade did serious *work* in that fight for me -- poison the cherub and the boss man? yes, please!

I beat it doing 0 exultations and just stacking dots to like 40-50 damage per turn but it still took a while

@@TheOptimistDelusion Interesting strategy -- the boss won't summon any lightsaber wielding warped cherubim while there is a "failure" being faced, and if it only damages your flagellant that's basically never going to actually defeat you. Adds a bit of weight to the idea that the boss can't go invulnerable during a face-your-failure event.

Its a medallion from his lore, the family he killed. Probably feels reedemed now, judging by how he is smiling.

I tested it before release so my first reactions are unavailable, I'm sorry :(

@@ShuffleFM noooooooooo You couldn't have filmed it? I enjoyed watching you play vanilla DD so much

YOURE RIGHT LOL

Would you believe this isn't the first time I heard this lol

@@ShuffleFM was that somewhere between sacred silence and sleep?

Not currently since he can't go to the mountain. If you had a mod that did it I'd imagine it would soft lock the game in phase 3.

It's the Darkest Dungeon world, bruh, his son is probably dead xD

@@user-xm9rt9xy6o ehh, its always possible, I mean we see multiple civilians in both games

There are still children around like the one at 32:34 😀

I didn't say one way or the other what happened lol, but I'll take it out just in case.

True, why would he show the slimy mightiness of the final boss, THE SNAIL, so disrespectful of him

Surely this is the worst feeling any human as ever experienced in all of history, right?

he didn't spoil anything LMAO

@@Kennedy00Louis original title had something along the lines of ‘Fate of Reynauld’ and considering he is the most anticipated character to return, it makes sense why some people may want to find that out for themselves

No mobile game looks this good, and this would brick phones lol. Dude on the throne makes sense if you were following the story :P

The first game was a letdown too, didnt have raytracing and the bad guy was just some old naruto fan spamming shadow clones. This is actually what you sound like. The game looks good and its not part of some gacha mobile market scheme because my 2000 dollar laptop becomes a stovetop with how badly optimised it is.
