Archon - "I fear no evil." True, you fear no evil, but let me ask you, Archon... Do you fear Death?
The00Devils00Seraph Captain Jack Sparrow : U have no idea
War: it’s not “death” you should fear.
@@Micahpeters000 is it war? :D
He should
@@Micahpeters000 Indeed.But Death is the end of all.
The way he killed archon was just beast
Pfft nothing compared to Straga´s
Now that something even Kratos would be impressed
@@nikolazecevic6693 Welp Kratos does kill Grimm Reaper or "Death" in his universe welp at least one of them
@@MrAlinko21 Honestly I dont think those could be compared with this death, i mean death actually cant be killed by many, like, guy took chaoseater(war's sword) to the center of his body and showed no pain whatsoever and healed instantly, so i dont think kratos has many ways to actually kill him, plus unlike kratos death stays calm during a fight, which is helpful for death, and deaths reaper form is surely atleast 2 times phisicaly stronger than kratos, and harvester would pretty much obliterate him, deaths intelligence is also a big plus
@@MrAlinko21 He didn't kill Death. He killed Thanatos, God of Death. And even his title is incorrect since Thanatos is a Primordial, who lost to the Titans, who lost to the Gods.
Thanatos is actually pretty weak. He lost to Hercules once in a fight, and Hercules is a demigod.
Death in this verse is literally the Concept of Death. If he were to die, Death would cease to exist. That's why the Crowfather says Corruption is so incredibly dangerous. ''Corruption is the end of all things. Even Death...'' And Death killed that thing. He killed a literal omnipresent omnipotent Concept. And the real kicker is that he wasn't even at full power or had his own weapon of choice when he did it.
Death would shred Kratos in a nanosecond.
Sound acting is amazing in this game.
The reason I keep watching this video from time to time. Archon's line delivery is seven kinds of badass.
Guess he's a "fallen" angel
I would say too soon but it's been a year
Wonder what was in Death's mind when he ran towards that big boulder "yea i could cut through that"
Considering the fact he cut through a giant sentient rock that was far harder to cut through I think he was fine.
Can we take a minute to appreciate how fucking epic that song is.
+nordic fatcheese It be called "Stains of Heresy"
It's my fave song in the track. Too bad you can hardly hear it due all the armor The Archon wears, and how noisy his attacks are. I swear you'd hear him in the dark ally before you met him. Course, the song in its entirety is still pretty short, even the alternative version. Nonetheless, it's my fave boss theme.
Samael's is good too.
At least Death grabbed the key before he tossed the angel away. Imagine having to go look for that guy after you realise you forgot the key. Oops.
Madison Worstell thought same :)
There's also a lot of moments where Death is about to get hit with something and the cam zooms on his face super fast. Like when the amulet is about to slam into his chest, or right before the archon shoots him of the main platform before the fight. I can't help but madlib an Oh shit in moments like that. It just looks like he's going that say by how he moves during those movements.
Hopefully my explanation isn't too confusing.
My english isnt perfect but i believe i can handle it :)
Good, I'm just terrible at explaining things sometimes.
What an underatted game. It should be as popular as Dark souls.
ExoGhost i think its more popular than dark souls but underappreciated.
not even close its a good game but its not more popular than dark souls.
josvanny soto i think its wayyyy better than dark souls
Dj C I didn't say it was better its just not as popular. Dark souls is still popular today, don't get me wrong darksiders is a great game i just personally like dark souls more imo.
josvanny soto it is awsome but i loveee the story line for darksiders
Samael's fight was definitely the tougher and more intense than the Archon's, but Archon's fight remains f*cking epic. The awesome music, the wide-open sky arena and grand sweeping movements, it's like choreographed badassery that holds up perfectly well compared to Samael's confined arena and almost claustrophobic "always right behind you" intensity. The constant, fittingly badass mad war cries from the Archon also left a better impression than Samael's snickering. Though this one is the easier of the two (and I'm not even taking the final fight into account, it was easier than some non-boss monsters), I definitely like it no less and remember it even more fondly.
Cat Trucker Archon is the dopest villain I've seen on any action video game
The Archon went fúll tilt against Death: his mind addled by Corruption, he was but a brainless brute in the end(He also has that Rod of Arafel, remember? He cleansed all of the City with that staff, THATS how overpowered he became with that Staff and still, compared to the Bossfight? No the Archon was clearly overdosed on Corruption at that point Still powerful but his mind not strong or pure enough to control the full power of the Rod!). Samael on the other hand was NOT infested with Corruption, on the contrairy, in fact as Samael is the Archon's counterpart: Where the Archon is the Archangel amongst Archangels, Samael is the Archdemon amongst Archdemons! Samael is the demonic reflection of the Archon. Also since Samael is the one holding the Demon-key, this sorta proves that well enough, right?
The Archon was corrupted, would he not have been then i thínk the Archon wóuld have given up the key to Death with réason, or another Test? Where Samael directly tested Death's true power(and Death could have bested him if he kept it up!) to see if Death could stand against Absolom/The Champion of Corruption, the Archon simply tried to eliminate this threat before that! The Archon served Corruption, where Samael served his own interests only!
But outside the Lore: Yes! Amazing bossfight! But Darksiders 2 has many great bossfights! I personally lóved the Guardian-fight! The music, that énormous thing hammering and blasting at you... and you BEST it... Hoh! just amazing! That does beat 'Smashing the Mother of all Bugs in the face, with a TRAIN! till she KO's'(DS1; the Griever? also awesome!) by a bit!
But thats the design of the Darksider-games imho: Its all wéll over the top! The Lore is good though, and its véry entertaining to play!
@@TheTechnocrat78 The light compels youuuu
Yeah the stage, dialogue and the soundtrack ramping up really were the cornerstones of this fight, heck I don't even remember Samael fight after all these years but your description made me remember with pinpoint clarity. You described really well!
The story and characters in one and two were so much richer and more epic than 3.
Andrew M I know i am late but.... PREACH!!!
Yes I agree. I enjoyed Darksiders 3 but it wasn't that good like the first and second game. On the other hand it was you could say an experiment in my opinion. To see if they can continue with series I know I may make no sense but this how I percieve it
Well the plots in 1 and 2 were more rich and compelling to follow instead of just a fetch quest style like 3
Envy was cool
3:47 When The Archon raises the boulder, notice in the bottom left corner how Death changes his stance. He's timing it for the right moment to strike. Summoning harvester, smashing through the boulder and emerging in his reaper form to deliver the killing blow.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that.
Guys, remember.
Death’s power was limited in this game by the seals. Like War’s.
He took on and beat the Archon in single combat /while at a fraction of his full power/.
Darksiders 5 is gonna be NUTS.
I hate to burst your bubble but Genesis isn't four so we still need Darksiders 4
Death killed him while he was off guard, i doubt that death could get him without that, the Rod of arafel kept death away from him in the intire battle, the only way to get the archon is like that. I even think that the archon is stronger than absalom, the archon gave way much difficulty to death.
I believe this stubborn archangel didn't die easily I bet he'll come back 🤔 if he's fully assimilate with chaos
@@Hikarushinyi I don't think he's coming back, but i do believe that he did not die easily at ALL. Death had a pretty damn hard time killing him. Lemme know If you think that the archon is stronger than absalom
@@ziondmitriev8720 I don't think he is stronger than Absalom since he falls victim to his corruption
The Destroyer was "chosen above" Samel because Samael posed a MUCH greater threat. Samael didn't obey all the orders of the Dark Prince, and was close in power to him - that's what Vulgrim said in Darksiders 1.
I like how throughout the game the reaper forms scythe never failed to cut when it was swung.
It's the Harvester, greatest scythe ever created, capable of cutting through any living being. Death's very own personal weapon of choice.
The Archon blocks one attack from Death in Reaper form in this video at about 2:30. If you look at the Archon's hp bar, he loses a tiny bit of life as opposed to completely blocking the attack when Death isn't in Reaper form. The other difference is that if Death continues to attack the Archon in regular form and gets blocked once, subsequent attacks in that attack chain also get blocked. When Death is in Reaper form however, it seems that the Archon reduces the incoming damage of the first attack in the chain but succumbs to the others and stops blocking.
@@VarjoPira late very late I know but the scythe you use in this game is not the harvester it's a temporary replacement the actual harvester is with the council as death can't use it unless his mission is sanctioned which this one is not
I hope you guys are doing well! Would love to see further discussion!
The archon sprouting those new whings was in my opinion the freaky paet of the vid
During the fight Archon says I fear no evil, but death is not evil he is horseman
the archon is corrupted .
I know, I played the game many times. Just saying. It's because he is corrupt so he thinks death is evil
God, the boss fights in this game are fucking incredible.
3:50 Best Scean
haha 00:03 he was watching Darksiders trailer
What a great fight by death! Ending so cool!
Man I love this game love this song love this battle. Archon is awesome best boss fight ever for me. The song gets me pump I went stray with Archon not backing up is in the only battle I really get into this fight.... I hope Archon somewho comes back if the supposed sequel ever gets develope. XD
When the Archon said I did what I had to do, you could tell he was a bad guy right there. It's pretty much the calling card excuse for someone who has done or is doing some bad shit, regardless of the reason. Yet so many people in life won't admit a bad choice is a choice all the same and not owning up to it as one's own decision makes you look worse.
@Kelvin Neal-Douglas too*
Not always. If someone tries to kill let's say my son and I blow his head off and get caught and I say, "I did what I had to do." Don't you think I'm telling the truth and am right? Certainly it would be, "doing what you had to."
Archon reminds me that no one is perfect. Not even the Angels.
lol a death grip, grip at 0:51
Wtf how could he not lose any of his heath "Born Gamer"
@random account some weapons have health steal so he pretty much stayed capped through the fight
fights like these are what I miss the most in DS 3
You kick ass :) I love the soundtrack to this fight it so intense really makes you think right I really have to win this is dire!
man the angels looks so fucking awesome in the darksiders universe
The Archon has the same armor as Artanis in StarCraft 2....
HE PLAYED US LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE!
I notice he only uses reaper form in dire situations or for final kills since the power is needed for strong beings like archon.
This and the final fight are probably my favorite area bosses in the game. The *spoilers* Guardian and Wailing host feel more like Death is slaying monsters than fighting an opponent, and Samael was just playing with Death. This and the Absalom fights feel like an actual clash of wills from two extremely powerful people.
I think Samael is extremely powerful. But Death, with seals broken and with Harvester in hand is extremely powerful as well.
It's not stated right in the games because main rule is "you start weak and grow stronger"... but in the novel, you can clearly see how big of a badass Death actually is, wearing off shit that would break apart another horseman like it was a scratch. In a match between Samael and Death, both at full power, I think Death wins, but not by much. Against the four he's screwed
This boss fight is similar to Credo's fight in DMC4.
i like the design of his wing
Archon Lucien was actually a reference to Cherubim along with Jemaerah the Scribe.
The Sequel Archon...I know you have it
Finally, you're speaking sense and are actually saying something different.
1. I wasn't deflecting any topic because I still went on to explain my reasons on it.
2. He didn't use it because he wanted to land an successful attack. Samael was moving so fast that Death couldn't keep up as much as he wanted to, so he decided not to use Reaper form because it can only be used for an certain amount of time and didn't want to waste it.
"may the light of all that is holy destroy you!"
Death thinking: I'll tear the holy light right out of you...
So considering all this, one can clearly say that Samael is one of the most powerful beings in the Darksiders universe. He's a threat to Lucifer himself, that's ONE reason (there was another 1) why he was imprisoned and I'd say he's stronger than a horseman. Well maybe not, but he's stronger than Abbadon for sure. He's more powerful than Lilith who made Abbadon go... let's say "crazy". ;) And if Lilith can do that, imagine what Samael can do. He's one of my favourite characters in Darksiders 1+2
Being that good in a gameplay should be an outrage for most of us.
didn't even need a reason. blaming him for the portal level and clipping those wings bro
The FPS in this arena is a dream.
Archon needs his own game !
So you help him only to have to kill him because he becomes too corrupted to realize he should probably give you the key?
He was corrupted from the get-go. Death just didn't realize this until his little detour-trip to Earth and talk with Jamaerah, the Scribe.
I know that power can corrupt the purest, but I guess even knowledge can as well.
Road to hell is paved with good intentions. The knowledge of having such knowledge can be deadly.
Not to mention Archon was using the Rod of Arafel and Samael was only using his own powers.
Damn dude you're good.
yeah you can use a controller on the PC version.
I have the Deathinitive edition of this game, and for a while it would show the same things in the pool as vanilla. But after some update, all it shows in the pool is the map in each scene. It's a little disheartening.
oh samael, to be certain.
gotta wonder though, is he gonna the main protagonist of darksiders 3?
playable samael......HELLS YES,
O'Brien and Dowes r the best voice actor duos
Yeah but they are meant to operate as one unit (all four together). That's the perfect combination for ultimate havoc (they are not good guys - well in Darksiders they KIND OF are,but not 100%).
Samael even says in DrS1: "War, have you come to play executioner? They should have sent all four of you!"
And in DrS2: "So, the council sends only one horseman... even to the past!"
This implies too that Samael is extremely powerful. It's also said that he's a threat to Lucifer - the demon king himself.
I'm gonna play it again!
I had to come back and watch this. I'm playing dark siders 3 and I missed feeling like a bad ass. I might as well just play these videos in the background while I'm playing it. (After playing war and death you want Fury to be an absolute monster, hence the name fury....sadly gameplay wise she has a whip and none of her hits look like it hurt. Death finishes every boss by shredding it to bits, fury finishes them by sealing them away.)
Thats alot of life steal.
my favorite fight
LOL are you serious? Samel would destroy the Archon. Even though I loved the Archon's design.
Death's voice 👌
Archeon lived long enough to become a villain.
😟
You don't know whether or not he went into the reaper form. He could've gone into reaper form in the middle of the fight, and also Samael was just playing with Death, to see how strong he was.
P.S Death did use his reaper form on Absalon.
Death is so powerful
Yup.. He is the most powerful, leader and the older than the other horsemen...!
1.Lol, "Didn't want to waste his time"? This was over the course of one hundred years, time was all he had! Samael attacked Death, yet he still gave the choice to him, Death wouldn't have did that for ANYONE else besides his brothers.
2. They had to take away his powers by force, and you don't know whether or not it was easy, also that was Sameal's true power and not something that's been borrowed from other entities.
I know my lore and i've just proved that.
BEAST-MODE !!!!
We don't know who stripped Samael of power; it may very well have been Abaddon after he started channeling power from the Well of Souls. Before War cut him off from the Well, he may have been more powerful than Samael. I doubt the developers would have had Lilith make such a blatant remark about Samael's power being the greatest of all demons if they meant for it to be left to interpretation. Not to mention all the other comments in DS1 and the Darksiders comic concerning Samael's power.
DeusExMachina10001 i
DeusExMachina10001 isnt lucifer the greatest ? The one who punish lilith in the end cutscene
I honestly thank you so much for agreeing. Sorry for the insults I gave earlier, they were probably coming from bad feelings from.... other things....
I'm glad this didn't end on a bad mark so.. yeah!:)
Samael wasn't outmatched because he wasn't trying. He was just playing around, not being serious and just using Teleport and fireballs. He wasn't using all of his power and only stopped when he was cut, ONCE. Death wasn't a shadow of his former self. That was Death at full power without the seals, with the seals Death and the rest are more powerful, but that was him when he was without the seals. Death was at full power and could still only scratch Sameal, who was just playing around.
Samael and Satan are said to be very close in power. Lilith even said that "no demon in any realm can match [the raw power of] Samael." As far as Death, Samael, and War are concerned; Death has always been stronger than War, but War was stripped of most of his power and had to get back to 100% in DS1, whereas Death started off with no handicap. Thus, Death ended up being far more powerful respectively than War. So, while War couldn't even fight Samael, Death might have been able to beat him.
Actually, none of the horsemen had their full power due to the charred counsil not granting them any for the apocalypse.
even the purest can be corrupted.
Epic Game ! ! !
Archon holds the angel key, Samael holds the demon key. Who would win between Samael and Archon?
The combat in the game is so satisfying, more so than bayonetta and devil may cry, plus death is fucking awesome I love his character.
this is how you took a key
The Archon is very cool
Glory unto the lights chosen!
Perhaps for a self-righteous, kleptomaniac asshole and traitor to his own people, but I wouldn't know.
DEATH:The REAPER
This boss should’ve been harder then samual this is a angel
We don't know whether or not Micheal is in their story.-_-
nice moves :]
is it me, or does the framerate increase during this fight? I play on 360
it does
hmm, I found it strange that it does it only during this fight
Because there's no environment to draw in the background.
angels and demons are real
no shit.
Tenisista kiuldjiiski no shit dilweed
Please tell me that this is not some profound revelation u just discovered from only playing this game...
but arent the horsemen invincible when they have been called by the seals? if so, that would mean one horsemen COULD defeat samael
no dramatic end?
Kaz Miller is that you
3:57 Archon got bodied.
If that were true, then Straga would've also been punished. I see where you're coming from, but I still think what I say is true too. How about this then, we agree that Samael and Death have equal strength and that neither could beat the prince of lies. Death was not outmatching Samael (thus saying Death is ridiculously more powerful than anyone and anything), but keeping up with him and matching his moves.
Is there going to be a new DLC with Death killing The Destroyer?
No
Archon: THE LIGHT COMPELS YOU!
Death: I am Darkness - I am DEATH!
Life and light vs death and darkness.sounds cool
MJk Slasher But sometimes,the hero dies in the end
Chicken Mike he thinks he is performing a exorcism
Chicken Mike the darkness should be the keeper of the oblivion not death if you read the lore
Archon: THE LIGHT COMPELS YOU!
Death: I am Fire - I am... DEATH!
I'm saving that no
dam nice. i seen this part on the ign gameplay an he almost died like 5 times an barley won. an took twiccec as long lol
1.True
2.Lilith is not powerful in terms of strength, rather in hierarchy. The only real power she's ever wielded was when she created the Nephilim and time travel which she probably got from Samael. Niether do you so we are both in a stand still in that regard.
Dude, the Horsemen weren't born with the Council's power so that's why their at normal power status without the council's power. No fear? Is that why Death gave Sameal the choice, even already knowing he wanted a fight? Death knew it wouldn't be an easy fight, and that's why he was so hesitant. Full power is not normal power!-_-
If that was true everyone would have their muscles bulked up at all times.
P.S I know all of the Darksiders lore so I don't need to be told it.
Damn that was awsome I am struggling to defeat this guy XD
3:58
Qual é a melhor forma de ganha xp?
Since the archon holds the angel key and samael holds the demon key who would win Ina fight the archon or samael
Otis Deepthroatis well archon got killed by death, samael played with him for a little, got bored and then gave him the key... do I need to answer?
Death fought Samuel and archon and could kill them both with his eyes closed.
Juan Jose Guevara Ortiz i know this was 7 months ago so I'm sorry, but, Samael stopped because Death was beginning to predict him. Remember at the end of the fight, death gave Samael a sharp cut on the cheek because he predicted where Samael was gonna teleport. In truth, he thought the fight with Death and his brother, Absalom(sorry if i messed it up) would be entertaining. Again, sorry for this sudden reply.
Angels usually are much more powerful then demons
Are they the Scythes you get at the start of the game?
Nope that's Guillotine, the best scythes in the game.
+OcularCentaur42 How can I obtain Guillotine?
harad552 I don't remember.
GOD GAME!!!
darksiders story is fucking awesome,better than some craps that appear in the world.
Apocaliptic? pfft, come back when you defeat him on nightmare.
+MegaGothmog actualy Nightmare is more easy because you already got crafted gear
