"Huh dismas i have to say this is very darkest dungeon" "I know reynauld, those colours were indeed madness, but we darkest dungeon 2'd out of our dak past"
Yes! And the way this happens through gameplay is really beautiful too. I'll be posting the final boss fight in about an hour or so then you'll see for yourself! :D
The ending is extremely wholesome and so cathartic: it makes it clear the Heroes of Darkest Dungeon didn't just survive their adventure, *they actually won*
I like how BH (poster near doc) is the only one who is completely fine. No running from the past and no unsettled scores as "He has no past and no future" . Guy killed some eldritch god for candles and just rolled with it
I mean, i would argue that Baldwin, while not as perfect, is just as fine. Man did nothing wrong and his enjoyment of the beauty of the world as he continue on in his path of endurance, uplifted once more, is truly the best for him.
Leper as well. You notice how the Leper faces towards the Light in the Shrine of Reflection? That's because he, along with the Bounty Hunter, are the only heroes with no regrets.
I love the direction they went with here. I love the message of this. I love the final boss music from DD1 returning here. God this is hella awesome. And in the end when he said "A Darkest Dungeon" instead of THE Darkest Dungeon was a great callback to the first game's last mission; "hell is in the heart", because of our mistakes a darkest dungeon is in each and every one of us, but hopefully kept at bay by our morality.
It's the Biblical notion of total depravity... The reason that man is a child of wrath by nature is because as a result of the fall, every aspect of man (his mind, his will, his emotions, his flesh) has been corrupted by sin (Ephesians 2:1-3, Romans 3:10-11, 5:12-21) - while he is not wholly corrupt, like a drop of coloring placed into a glass of water, the corruption that he has extends to every part of his being. Sin colors what we love and drives our desires, even determining our will, and because of that, sinners cannot reform their own hearts by the sheer power of their own will any more than they can raise their IQ by a sheer act of the will since their own wills are fallen and all that they desire is only evil continually (John 3:19, 8:34, 36, 1 Corinthians 2:14, Genesis 6:5). Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? Then you also can do good who are accustomed to doing evil, Jeremiah 13:23. The mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, Romans 8:7. Sinners cannot free themselves from the bondage of evil by the power of their own will because the will itself is enslaved to sin and does not want to do anything other than sin (Genesis 8:21).
Bonnie is able to save people from ruin instead of creating it, Boudica is redeemed and welcomed back into her tribe, Alhazred no longer feels to need for knowedge and power, Sarmenti is able to use his talents to make people smile again, Audrey is able to for-go her selfishness, Baldwin is reminded of the beauty of the world, Paracelsus uses her skills to heal the sick instead of tending to her morbid curiosity, Junia is able to love, Dismas can stop running from his past, and Ballistan uses his experience to train the next generation of soldiers.
@@natrzezwoniewarto8678 Damian may have realized that he is using religion and his zealotry as an excuse to satisfy his twisted needs. Maybe for him, death is the only redemption as he is literally a walking dead
Everyone: We did it! We are not worthless! Leper: Do not eat too much little one, you might get a belly-ache. While everyone was playing Darkest Dungeon, Leper was busy being the Anime Protagonist. The true chad.
@@giacomoromano8842man saved his entire kingdom from dictatorship and managed to save the world TWICE with LEPROSY, and then spends the rest of his times admiring the world that WE restored to its former glory
I like that in the first game the entire moral was you had to sacrifice everyone and everything just to barely win and then realize that shit only delayed the inevitable. The heroes throwing their lives away for a chance of redemption through death. Then the player just dies at the end too. Instead in the second game, hope is the entire theme. The heroes stop running from their past and accept what they are. So they use the power of friendship and anime so no one has to die this time.
Some say his conclusion is the sweet release of death. Others say that maybe she's holding Junia (Vestal's) hand but you can't see him. Grats on beating the final boss!
@@GaroShadowscaleBold now i see this comment i think its maybe possible since they are somewhat related because in vestal story there is a flagellant punish her, she beat him and escape, so my theory is Flagellant got kicked out of the church for that and become beggar, often got beaten in the street so he found his devotion to the pain and eventually beat death
Idk if it's Wayne just deepening his voice in the "Darkest Dungeon" part just to add epicness but I have a hunch that that wasn't the Academic who said that, but the Ancestor.
I didn't notice until I read the comments. As someone who thoroughly played the og DD1, I started tearing up after you guys pointed it out. Thanks for catching it 💙
why do i suddenly imagine damian and paracelsus doing that one conversation from tf2 "we are not going to die! we are going to live forever!" "i didn't say that!"
Except for when you play it wrong and boss doesn't spawn ghosts. I guessed that I don't need to attack the back rank and struggled to kill the back minion. That way I was just slowly damaging the boss so my second character beating their past did the deathblow because that's how much I've damaged the boss with normal attacks. It took so long...
@@ahmeteneskoksal1929 Damian is most likely dead since his "redemption" was entirely based on him accepting death. Junia's redemption was about finding love, so the "hand" is symbolic of her unspecified lover.
@@wargen8121 "his "redemption" was entirely based on him accepting death" - was it?? As far as I remember he kills a past version of himself to entirely unshackle himself from his humanity. Even says something along the lines of "finally rid of that".
It's awesome how the game's "confessions" are like a series of therapy sessions. You are on the old road with them, already beaten down and haunted by your past, now stumbling and failing and constantly stricken down by failure and regret. And the end goal is simply to beat the "body of work" of your own mind. The piled up denial, hatred, obsession, ambition and cowardice. And let go and forgive yourself. And the world, or at least your worldview changes accordingly. I really like what they did with this game.
Everyone asking about Reynauld and Flagellant But what about all the other characters that didn't make it to DD2? I hope we will get DLCs on them, maybe with them added to this redemption cutscene, or with their own cutscenes.
Damian is off in a corner somewhere beating up Death again for laughs. He holds no regrets, the only thing this journey did for him was prove how he is too cool for death
@@GaroShadowscaleBold sry T9 changed the name somehow 😅 I thought that Reynauld died because in the cutscene the highway man (most likely Dismas mb) stands next to the helmet of the crusader
I really like how the game ended on a hopeful and happy ending. I obviously wanted to see how the game ended regardless of how it would conclude but I was worried the game would say "it was all for nothing" like the first darkest dungeon. Ending the game on a inspirational note is unsurprisingly much more satisfying and makes it feel like what was done was worth it in the end.
For the heroes that didnt show up Reynauld officially died in the final fight in DD1, he managed to beat the final boss and saved dismas from it Flagellant can be seen shaking Junia's hands (identified by bony hands) seems like he's reconciling with her after the events that happened on the church Bounty hunter bid his farewell and left the adventure after it ended, he has no past and future, thus no past to face. He's just a bounty hunter content with his job Abomination finally found peace with his inner monster and lived alone after the first game Antiquarian is an asshole
Notice how despite "remaking the whole world" the Protege still didn't actually cure the Leper. Considering the man had no actual sin to cleanse, and is undoubtedley the biggest hero of the whole team... feels like he got a bit short-changed, you know? Still, a very wholesome and hopeful ending nonetheless 😁
Baldwin deserve to be cured miracly from his leppersy,so instead of looking on a little bird he should remove his mask were we see a normal,handsome king he was before. Reminder he had no sin,he is pure soul.
at least it had a happier ending than the first one which basically said at the end "you won the battle but lost the war and now your dead there to guide the next family member to come knocking and repeat the pattern"
Not really, they're just different, like everything else between the games. DD1 was more of a lovecraftian ending, you only holded back the primal evil that lurks beneath the veil of humanity. In this one, you win, fair and simple, the Apocalypse has been stopped and your heroes have managed to move on from their pasts, tho that doesn't mean other dangers are still lurking in the dark. Still, I do prefer this one, makes it feel less like I wasted my time trying to win against the unwinnable, which was kinda the point yes, but still
@@jackmesrel4933 @Jack Mesrel that's... the whole thing... the "lovecraftian" ending, is a pyrrhic nihilistic resolution with the ancestor telling you blatantly that "punk ass bitch YOU BARELY DID SHIT all you did was set the alarm to 5 more minutes, you dunce, you bumbling idiot" as the earth implodes like you lost the fuckin boss fight. This ending at least says "gud job, with the power of friendship and hope you did it despite all the horrible shit that may be around still" TLDR: DD1 ending almost dismisses your victory as a nuisance to eldritch horrors awaiting the end of time whereas DD2 ending at least says "collect your 10$ friendship gift card at the door"
It'd be cool if we see Damien get included in that cutscene at some point. I feel like just giving him a grave, with his collar hanging of the headstone somewhere in there would be fitting, but i suppose the implication of his death we got here is quite fitting too.
100% agree. I would love to see him having closure. Your idea of showing his grave is perfect: he is merely fueled by his obsession with pain, so dying is him finally fighting that illness and finding peace. Hope your idea gets seen and added
Just beat this masterpiece of a game less than an hour ago. The final boss is absolutely amazing and the fact the we get a happy and wholesome ending is the cherry on top. Well done, Red Hook. Well done.

shame the kingdom update kinda stomps on that. bc it takes place after the main story ending, so reynauld's endless crusade will continue a bit longer-
This is just a beutifull ending becuase in the first game was and endless cycle of deaht and suffering and this is just something i can't describe this is true redemtion and self superation.
I wonder if the ending cutscene would change after the new DLC that came out with Duelist and most importantly, C R U S A D E R *MY BELOVED-* even if it doesn't it can be understandable, although it would be really nice to see.
Hey. On the bright side let just imply he made enough peace with his actions that he retired and go back to his family and home (since the latest dlc included the Crusader)
@@GaroShadowscaleBold He's gone. Out of all of the characters in Darkest Dungeon, the Flagellant had the fewest personal demons. He did a lot of messed up things in his life - but between his revelry and his immortality, he seems to feel very little guilt about any of it. He loves feeling pain, and he loves dishing it out - its his passion, his *calling*, his *divinity*. He's literally living his best life (unlife). All those moments of quiet in the inn or in the carriage, he'd rather be spending squeezing caltrops in his hand or dumping vinegar in his wounds. Death herself came for him and he was like "lol no". He exists on an entirely different playing field, mentally: stress - one of the biggest mechanics in the game - functions differently for him, because no matter what, he's going to become "toxic" when it maxes out - enraptured in his own power, and that's something that could literally be beneficial if you pick the right Hero Path. He seeks pain, and it gives him power, which allows him to seek more pain. So all this world-saving stuff, all this personal demons, at best the Flagellant's biggest regret is that he has any humanity left at all to think about, since that could be time better spent giving and receiving more pain. One of these days, Flagellant is going to just ascend into the Hellraiser dimension and become a god of pain. Heck if I were to put my money on Darkest Dungeon 3, that's where I'd put it. All this to say that Flagellant has no goddamn reason to stick around after the Light purges the maddened world. He's already on to the next thing.
Having only played the first part: This is some writing in the ending. Like you would expect in some trashy love novel for 13 year old girls. You think it's deep, but actually it's only rambling.

Damn Redhook did an amazing job with this game. I have to say tho id kill to see the crusader in this game
Yeah same 💙
I somehow mustve missed the Flagellant in the ending cutscene. Is he the one holding the Vestals hand?
Not 100% sure 🤔
This is just a beutifull ending becuase in the first game was and endless cycle of deaht and suffering and this is just something i can't describe this is true redemtion and self superation.
A lot more positive of an ending than I expected lol
I wonder if the ending cutscene would change after the new DLC that came out with Duelist and most importantly, C R U S A D E R
*MY BELOVED-*
even if it doesn't it can be understandable, although it would be really nice to see.
This game is so good.
True 💪
I miss the Knight Character. Too bad they don't made him T_T
Maybe in the future 💙
I came from the future to say...
Crusader is coming back.
They even added my boy Tardif in the form of his calling card😭💀💀💀
😂
bro people already on the ending while i cant even finish the first chapter, i didnt play in a long while aswell tho-
Game's tough! You got this :D
Flagellant needed to fight Death in Hateful God's fight?
IIRC the Flag actually fights himself. I had the Flag in my party when I fought the final boss
@@GaroShadowscaleBold funny to know
Turn up your volume. Can't hear jack shit. And I got my speakers on max volume.
Sorry Bro. I'll turn up my volume 👍
what has happend to Reynauld in lore?
Not sure. Either dead or just not around?
But who is it that Junia loves? I'm lost.
Not sure 🤔
I don’t know if it matters who it is she loves, but the fact she is loving someone
Its a safe way for devs,do not start a pointless war between retarded shipers ; those kind of fans are pure cancer.
Very hopeful, compared with the ending of the first game.
Yeah
Kind of sad seeing Reynauld's helmet as a sort of candle holder
Hey. On the bright side let just imply he made enough peace with his actions that he retired and go back to his family and home (since the latest dlc included the Crusader)
darkest dungeon exist all of us
This is honestly probably what the ending of the first game should’ve looked like
DD1 ending was so depressing, but I guess that fit the lovecraftian theme 😅
Where is Flagellant
Where's the flagellant
I'm not sure
Leper being healed would've been a nice touch but I get its actually a prequel
Yeah true about the heal. And wait, this is a prequel to DD1? For sure? 👀
It isn’t a prequel, almost all of the Hamlet NPC’s appear in Darkest Dungeon 2 but aged.
holy shit plague doctor face reveal
Haha yup! She looks great :D
We saw her face in her shrines I think
Wait, where's flagellant?
Not sure. Maybe he's dead. Maybe he's holding the Vestal's hand.
@@GaroShadowscaleBold He's gone. Out of all of the characters in Darkest Dungeon, the Flagellant had the fewest personal demons. He did a lot of messed up things in his life - but between his revelry and his immortality, he seems to feel very little guilt about any of it. He loves feeling pain, and he loves dishing it out - its his passion, his *calling*, his *divinity*. He's literally living his best life (unlife). All those moments of quiet in the inn or in the carriage, he'd rather be spending squeezing caltrops in his hand or dumping vinegar in his wounds. Death herself came for him and he was like "lol no". He exists on an entirely different playing field, mentally: stress - one of the biggest mechanics in the game - functions differently for him, because no matter what, he's going to become "toxic" when it maxes out - enraptured in his own power, and that's something that could literally be beneficial if you pick the right Hero Path. He seeks pain, and it gives him power, which allows him to seek more pain. So all this world-saving stuff, all this personal demons, at best the Flagellant's biggest regret is that he has any humanity left at all to think about, since that could be time better spent giving and receiving more pain. One of these days, Flagellant is going to just ascend into the Hellraiser dimension and become a god of pain. Heck if I were to put my money on Darkest Dungeon 3, that's where I'd put it.
All this to say that Flagellant has no goddamn reason to stick around after the Light purges the maddened world. He's already on to the next thing.

That was profound!
Sure was!
What happens to rayanald
Where is my Reynauld??
Well his helmet is with Dismas :(
If the volume was any lower, it'd be muted.
Sorry, had some kind of audio issue at the time
So crusader is dead?
Not sure 😅
Probably a DLC as there are still other past characters from DD1 not yet in the game.
wheres the fagelant tho?
Some think he might be holding the Vestal's hand while being out of view
Demian y vestal?
NOOOOOO KNIGHT!
Great game, I just wish we can sell items & have game speed setting, particularly the stagecoach speed & maybe make the road a bit more labyrinthine.
they updated it recently. now the horses are on turbo mode
Where Reynauld? 9/10 ending but i need my Reynauld to be a 10/10
Not sure. Just his helmet with Dismas
Having only played the first part: This is some writing in the ending. Like you would expect in some trashy love novel for 13 year old girls. You think it's deep, but actually it's only rambling.
