The thing that made this music stand out, was how all of the battle sounds effects where muffled; not completely silent as they could still be heard, but were more like the song's backdrop. Interesting since music is usually the backdrop in battles.
Definitely made it a powerful moment, taking the Oh so familiar theme we've been used to for probably 100 hours by now and changing it ever so slightly and giving it the forefront
Killed lucian with his own weapon, and takes a corrupted eternal and turn them in the favour of the light for just a little while. I see nothing but honor here good sir.
Best part of this game is the replay value. First play through was with a full party and oc on normal difficulty. Second play through? Lone wolfing it with Sebille and Fane on Veteran difficult
i know this is pretty late BUTT, chronologically original sin 2 is not the latest game, its Dragonknight saga, and in that the story is still not concluded, so id be expecting atleast one more divinity game.
@@cmdrray7210 Larian said they retconned Dragon Saga. It just doesn't make sense since the cancelled game Fallen Heroes seemed to be aired on the "Source for Everyone" ending, which makes Lucian canonically dead
There's a common trend, especially in video games, that the final fight needs some sort of escalation, but I honestly thought we could do without the Braccus Rex segment which messes with the emotional weight of the battle (as well as making it so killing the magisters is a bad thing since they seem to target Braccus more than you in the latter stage). The main story drive was about defeating Dallas and ending the voidwoken attacks, and Lucian still being alive and responsible for the whole mess was enough of a twist. Also much love for the reverbed & echoed 'Bok bok bok' when using Chicken Claw
Although the second part of the fight was really hard, I think it’s a great thing to show Dallas suffer the consequences of her actions. She always thought she had the upper hand while in fact, Dallas was just waiting for an opportunity.
Mind charming cracken was a pretty obvious solution. Especially when I got the spell for free from succubus lady. What I didn't expect was that all of his summons became charmed as well. So it was basically all of my team(+fire slug, +baby dragon, +hawk), a kraken and three of his summons, Dallis(who's been aggroed on braccus the whole fight) vs one source king.
And the Braccus had to ruin the moment. This scene, when fighting Lucian, was already powerful enough. Some legendary villains should remain just that - legendary and in tombs.
@@Valleyraven007 I wish Definitive Edition let things play out differently. Knock out Lucian and Dallis? Braccus&The Leviathan. Knock out Braccus & Dallis? Lucian absorbs the others source and becomes some kinda super-Lucian. Knock out Lucian & Braccus? Dallis turns dragon and becomes more powerful than ever.
This should have been the final battle in my opinion. Having braccus show up out of nowere and summon a stupid kraken was more flashy sure but it feelt more impactfull to face to Former Divine for the fate of the world
You can kill Braccus before he summons kraken. I left him with 4000 hp then one shotted him with anathema (50 strength, 20 warfare, All in) and he died
yup, altho storylinewise it all makes perfect sense and is well written. The braccus boss tilted me more than anything, and i had much less feelings attached to it.
I can say in me and a buddies lone wolf runs of the 3 we have done in 2 we killed baccus Rex before the Kraken was summoned and skipped going to another dimension
I was Fane the first time i heard this track. The news of my daughter being alive and also my enemy through the whole game came crashing on me as this started playing with the muffle fight sounds in the background. IT WAS AMAZING i had to stand up and walk around in my room to try to understand what just happened, its been years since and i still remember that moment vividly and if that does not make a game a masterpiece then i do not know what does.
Especially the fact it was inadvertently Fane fault why his people went extinct and the power struggle of gods happen. Before Fane blamed mortals or other beings but never himself. To only now realize he’s why everything is happening
this music is still playing through my head over and over through the years, the plot twist, and the end, how the battle sound effects were low but this was the highest volume of all of the sounds, I was fighting but not able to talk for 10 minutes, just me and my friends fighting and non of us talking just to realize what was happening, I love this so much
When you have Ifan with you in this fight it becomes even more powerful of a fight. Sebille had her moment in the nameless isle with the shadow prince, Lohse had hers in arx against the Doctor and Ifan was the final fight of the game his past, his old friend and his mentor. Powerful shit!
Took me 8 tries but finally finished it. And I loved this section of the boss fight so much- the sound design remembered and honoured the rest of the game, but the way this song muffled everything else, it all seemed so tragic; that all the betrayals, lies and schemes had come to this. Awesome moment!
I chose the ending to give everyone the Source. For me this was as happy as it can get as people united and drove the God King back. There was a brief golden age of peace. Sure the peace would eventually shatter. But that's life for you. It follows history neatly. Conflict will inevitably be a thing that the next group of heroes will have to overcome so might as well give people some measure of peace, however long it may last.
And if the world goes to war, they go to war as humans (and Elfs, Dwarfs, Lizards...) still. No Voidwoken. No gods, because if everybody is a god, nobody is. The perfect ending for me too, because the people of Rivellon could remain people, without any "immortal god emperor" or things from beyound the veil. With all the good and bad this entails.
I don't like that ending because that's pretty much what the Eternals were. Making everyone a divine would make everyone an Eternal basically and then history would just repeat itself all over again.
I chose this as well but I wasn't really sure about doing it... I felt becoming the divine you would inevitably cause trouble just like Lucian did, I could of tried to do the seal but I thought if there was no more source that would cause alot more problems...
By refusing to give your source up, and fighting everyone.. I adored the deafened noise of combat. The music truly overcomes as your party battles for their ascending right. To avenge everyone in Fort Joy. To avenge the countless sourcerers wrongfully accused for the voidwoken's presence. To Avenge the boundless innocents slain wrought by Lucian's abhorrent choices. This ending has many ways.. how you feel, how your chosen companions feel.. and the adventure you saw. Do you fight to bring peace to Rivellon? Do you fight to ascend to power? Do you fight in the echo of your fallen god? Do you fight for a god long forgotten? Do you fight as you're forced to by demonic forces? So... many ways for this to end.
I killed all the people in Fort Joy, but I couldn't save Buddy's friend. I had to avenge the injustices of the Magisters' treatment of the source hounds.
I had a party of Custom Character, Ifan Ben-Mezd, The Red Prince, and Fane. This fight had so much weight to it for my party and me, and the music was perfect. Fane not wanting to kill Dallis and his conflict over the Eternals was so interesting to roleplay as, and when it came to it, I gave Ifan the last killing blow against Lucian. It fit so perfectly, and I knew it would be satisfying. Such an incredible game
That feeling when you're doing a lone wolf run and your companion decides to fight against you but you can still command them so you begin having them spam death wish and on the edge to keep yourself alive and manage to knock Lucian unconscious, kill all the magisters, and after 40 minutes find out all you had to do was beat up Dalis. And then phase 2 begins and all your allies are dead and you are nearly dead. And then you reload, side with Lucian, and Lucian 3 shots Braccus making what was supposed to be a very long fight a 3 turn fight.
Just finished the game and i have to say this was one of the if not the best games i have ever played. The game was so good im gonna play it again while blasting this beatiful song!
Playing Baldur's Gate 3 and I'm hoping they do such an amazing music design as they did with DOS2. Currently the menu theme and battle chant are my favourites. But the main instrument selection of DOS2 and motif use was just a treat to the ears.
Finding Lucian alive as the world burned for his own selfish gain, as my character stood enraged remembering it all, no 'god' no 'divine' would be worthy as such. And when the music started and the sounds of battle muted and echoed, you cannot help but think of the losses and journey you've had. And then surprise Braccus.
Only partially selfish, but what I kinda hated was that I was 90% content in my ending I got, but the fact that Lucian got all the glory? If I wanted that I would've just given my source to him. Also the fact that I was very Magister friendly, played among them for the whole of act 2 and 3, but they got no mention at the end. Arx wasn't reformed with my Magisters, but the Paladins of a false god once again. No glory and godhood for me? Sure whatever, but one thing is that Lucian doesn't deserve jackshit. I beat him in fair combat, and me and my friend bested the Kraken and all the God King had in store for us, how is it that the fake Dallis and the false Divine get the glory?
I hate finishing masterful rpgs like this, Witcher 3, and DAI. It's always bittersweet since it was great to finish em but now I feel so hollow inside. I just wanna stay in the worlds all three of em had me so immersed in.
It is truly a beautiful piece of music. Wonderfully made, and epic. I had Fane, Red Prince, Fan, and my own created character. Beautiful ending to an adventure for the ages.
me and my 3 friends finished the game the other day. This ending was so sad but we made a lot of memories along the way. It was truly a great adventure. This fight in particular felt like I was watching a movie. A ballad of the theme song felt so sad and intense. Can't wait to see Baldur's Gate finished so we can play that game next!
The atmosphere of this fight where this song plays and the sounds of battle are muffled gave such a great awesome presentation of a power and forces beyond mortal comprehension. That these loud, subdued, booming effects were the result of such ferocity and majesty that it could only be the result of those greater than anything even Lord Kemm could comprehend. ... And then phase 2 happened. Fuck that that part of the fight it could have gone so much more satisfyingly different.
I came here after playing BG3, and can say with 100% conviction that no game, no soundtrack will be up to this moment in the last fight. Larian studios did something with DOS2.
this is the one i was talking about earlier :) thx mate ! this song fet so well with my betrayal me alone against everyone my former friend and the others NPCs, my last fight [spoiler alert ] it did not end well for me XD
I thought this song was for Ifan as I ended up siding with Lucian to rid of the source and Ifan was determined to take his revenge on the Divine, so he ended up fighting all of us by himself. Truly tragic and this music made it really emotional, it's like knowing you'll die fighting for what you believe is right.
In the final fight, I successfully charmed the Kraken, and it took me like a good minute to figure out why Isbeil, Kemm and Sallow had ALSO now been charmed. Depressing really, that the final blow of the campaign was dealt by none other than Isbeil, possibly my least favourite character in the whole game.
@@UNOwen-ku4pn are they immune to chicken though? that's the real question here, think only the Seven and the Kraken were through the entire playthrough
I love the end fight because you are immediately faced with the devestation of hellfire and powerful attacks, but you meet it with vigor and strength of your own. Two extremely capable parties desperately fighting for their own agenda.
I did a solo playthrough with a basic "death knight" and this music playing while me cleaving through the biggest sons of bitches made it all more dramatic. I won, but at the cost of 100 replays to figure out how to win LMAO. Tough fight for sure, and great music
This was a great moment, if only they'd ended it here, I feel like everything after kinda jumped the shark. Ah well, definitely a game that was more about the journey than the destination.
i love all the comments about the muffled combat sounds and stuff because i first got to the final boss in what ended up being a lone wolf playthrough, just my OC skelelizard and the red prince. fight starts. immediately teleport behind one of the three bosses, instantly destroy her before the song has more than 10 seconds to play, phase immediately switches
in about roughly a month I am retiring I just beat this game yesterday on ironman honor mode It almost feels like this is a point in life i quit playing video games forever.
One thing that bugs me in this fight is how they re-recorded Lucians voice lines for the enhanced edition. There's this one moment where Lucian just says "Kill him" when Braccus Rex reveals himself. That line initially was hushed, without emotion -- an unfeeling god delivering a command. In the enhanced edition, he says it loudly and with force, "Kill him!" I know it's nit picky, but I always felt like the original recording of that line was perfect.
In the context of the scene, it makes sense that Lucian would be concerned about Braccus. Lucian gave up his divinity just before you fight him, all his power and more is in the Aeteran. If Braccus kills you, Lucian, and Dallis, he becomes infinitely more powerful than a Divine with all the Source in Rivellon, the Seven's power, and whatever the God King grants him.
Man i used pyroclastic on my off mage redprince who had a lot of warfare and geomancy and not a whole lot of int, and the guy nearly oneshot everyones magic defenses. Cant imagine what it would be like if my wizaed cast it
I thought Lucian was divinity's equivalent of Jesus the entire playthrough. This is when you learn it's actually you. You are the lamb that must be sacrificed for the sake of all life that was created.
I refuse give my source to lucian because in my opinion is better fight with him and made my own choice after what he did and after he lied ifan and kill innocent in academy and bring back braccus to alive. I decide to give source to everyone and defeat void with them.
The true ending of Original sin II should be: Lucien takes the last fight seriously, uses deadly gift to summon about a dozen or so steel scorpions and they just completely obliterate the player party and Braccus.
@@johnnyboy3410 My comment was a joking reference to Divine Divinity where you play as the Divine One. One of the skills you get available is called deadly gift and it allows you to summon steel scorpions. The skill is broken overpowered. A single scorpion summoned with that skill ranked up a bit can kill any boss in the game. And you can have five of those following you at all times or summon dozens of them on a whim. Or you could summon a hundred, though they'd finish any enemy around long before you're done. The main reason I think few people used that skill unless they had trouble with a specific boss fight is, that it really left you with nothing to do while the scorpions massacred any enemies, If Lucien, being the canonic version of the divine one, still had that skill and it was as powerful as it used to be, we'd be fucked.
I used "dominate mind" on Lucian. Braccus Rex ruined the climax a bit. I already deafeated him in divinity original sin 1, I didn't need to do it again especially when the fight was about Lucian, Dallis and the magisters.
Shame that our group got fucked over by the game bugging out, it skipped anything Braccus said and all that entailed. It spawned 3 of 4 of us in a group so the 4th could easily kill us, while the game was telling only two of us were together. It didn't let me see end dialogue and it skipped cutscenes for me. I'll just see it as that we died to Lucian, because this alternative buggy mess is just sad.
First time playing: oh sh- oh sh- oh sh- HAVE TO NUKE LUCIAN DOWN WHY IS EVERYONE STILL FIGHTING HE IS DOWN HELP THE GHEIST IS BACKSTABBING EVERYONE I AM DEAD. After 10 tries, I just chose the option to give up source. It was not what the Red Prince would do, since it is his, and he doesn't give easily. But against 6 (or is it 7?) Enemies with 6-8 AP each, one can become a dragon, is undead, two gods, and their hard-hitting lackeys? I'm gonna leave this option to the Pyromancer Lone Wolf Lizard next time. Also, one thing, I tried Nuking Bracchus down, but even when he summoned the Kraken, everyone kept attacking my team as if they are teamed up. Drinking invisibility potions doesn't help. As soon as it went off they allied with each other again. Oh well. :/
Divinity 2 ending is so dumb, whole fight with lucian is pointless. You cant even kill him, and if you chose to fight against him during braccus boss fight he will just disturb you. If you stay with him he will help you and make braccus bossfight stupidly easy. Not even mentioning that you could attack lucian forever but you need to take half of braccus to trigger second phase...
@@maksymilianwaszkowiak2843 I found a way to make this fight ridiculously easy after some thought. Red Prince Pyromancer / Geomancer. Death wish, 1hp at the start of fight. Give him Magic shell to survive Lucian's first attacks. Then give them all Geomancer 3 source skill. Everyone has 0 magic armor. Throw a mind maggot grenade, attack vreideman until he summons the kraken. Guess what happens? Since he is still allied with you the Kraken will attack him along with the summoned minions. When Braccus dies the Kraken will retreat. Leaving a half-dead Lucian and Dallis the dragon being easy pickings. The charm effect is indeed, the most OP thing in this game. Not only you have one less foe, but you gain one more friend. :D
No matter which ending you chosse it wont be a happy one. Most people will say the Dallis and Lucian ending is the happy one because thei reign the world in peace however that is not true and includes a little but heavy plot hole. Plot Hole: The demons are still there and free to roam the world. Now with all source and the Divine gone who will stop the Demons ? Who will stop Damian when he returns ? There is a reason why Adramahlik gives you the choice to work with him or perish alongside Lucian. No matter the ending.....youre fucked.^^
I agree that this demonic hole is serious problem since Damian was still out there and just bidding his time. Although i don't think the Rivellon is fucked since the source isnt completely gone from the world because it isnt possible to completely wipe it out. The reason why Seven created the races was to create more source so logically there has to be more source on Rivellon than before. Only the Seven and all catched sourcerers and godwoken lost source or died. If you want to know what happens after Dos2 i recommend playing Divinity II Dragon Knight Saga (or Developers Cut).
Except you are the strongest divine ever if you choose to ascend, because the new divine not only holds the powers of the 7, but also much of the exisiting source in the world! That is why as you as the divine, you stand a chance against the god king. To end him once and for all, but as the game tells us, that is a chapter for another time, another game.
@@jamesabuan3837 If we get Divinity 3 i hope we will get the chance to kick the God Kings ass. I was kinda dissapointed when i found out i get to fight every single major enemy except him.
@@HansPeter-iv9ck I'm pretty sure they planned on having a Divinity 3 so being able to kill him would kinda limit that as a possibility. Unless we want a repeat shoe-horned Braccus situation, which I'd rather not.
This is the game that for me ruined videogames forever, since I finished I am constantly searching games that provide me the same entertainment that Divinity 2 provided

specially the echo from heavy attacks
It should have been kept that way for the entire fight in my opinion.
I really loved that touch, bring the feelings behind the fight to the forefront
I freaking know right? It actually gave me goosebumps!
Why yes, I did throw a deathfog barrel at Lucian and a jar of mind maggots at the Kraken. I'm quite the honorable tactician
Killed lucian with his own weapon, and takes a corrupted eternal and turn them in the favour of the light for just a little while.
I see nothing but honor here good sir.
Seems like a normal divinity encounter to me
I pelted him with a 60 ton chest full of junk and he just stopped moving.
@@mroffice8166more like lobotomizing a corrupted Eternal with brain eating parasites
Isn't lucian immune to deathfog though?
This is simply amazing. The music itself told me "This is the end"
This song felt like a farewell, to us, the Rivellon and to one of the greatest games I've ever played.
Then play it again ;)
Best part of this game is the replay value. First play through was with a full party and oc on normal difficulty. Second play through? Lone wolfing it with Sebille and Fane on Veteran difficult

@ennieminymoo6675 i thought the canon ending was the one where source was purged
For Buddy, Emmie and Birdie...
Yo, that hit hard.
its been years since I played, could I ask you to remind me who these characters were?
They were puppies that were abused by the magisters to be source hounds

True bruh moment when Braccus shows up just for him to get killed by his void worm while targeting one of my party members
I'm so glad I'm the 69th like on this amazing comment. That sounds unforgettable lmao.
In my run with a friend, I used control voidwoken on the kraken and it targetd and killed braccus as well. Funniest shit honestly.

Made the whole
Thing a lot easier
I just wish that it kept the music like this during the fight with Braccus
@@Valleyraven007 I wish Definitive Edition let things play out differently.
Knock out Lucian and Dallis? Braccus&The Leviathan.
Knock out Braccus & Dallis? Lucian absorbs the others source and becomes some kinda super-Lucian.

AM I the only one that wanted to kneel before Braccus and pledge my life to him when he revealed himself?
This should have been the final battle in my opinion. Having braccus show up out of nowere and summon a stupid kraken was more flashy sure but it feelt more impactfull to face to Former Divine for the fate of the world
I agree. It seems as if Braccus was only there to make sure that there was a final battle even if you chose to side with Lucian

Canon ending is getting rid of source sadly.
By refusing to give your source up, and fighting everyone.. I adored the deafened noise of combat.
The music truly overcomes as your party battles for their ascending right.
To avenge everyone in Fort Joy.
To avenge the countless sourcerers wrongfully accused for the voidwoken's presence.
To Avenge the boundless innocents slain wrought by Lucian's abhorrent choices.
This ending has many ways.. how you feel, how your chosen companions feel.. and the adventure you saw.
Do you fight to bring peace to Rivellon?
Do you fight to ascend to power?
Do you fight in the echo of your fallen god?
Do you fight for a god long forgotten?
Do you fight as you're forced to by demonic forces?
So... many ways for this to end.
Shame the *actual* final boss was such a trainwreck
First playthrough, I was sworned and I had to kill everyone, the battle theme helped. I do agree, the actual last song is quite meh...
I fight before the important dialogue starts. ;D

No glory and godhood for me? Sure whatever, but one thing is that Lucian doesn't deserve jackshit. I beat him in fair combat, and me and my friend bested the Kraken and all the God King had in store for us, how is it that the fake Dallis and the false Divine get the glory?
@@knavenformed9436 The world is unfortunately unfair....
@@Terestrasz
That has absolutely no bearing on this matter
"Surprise, surprise"
@@knavenformed9436 I know, it sucks. The game should have prepared an option to kill lucian and sacrifice the Source
I hate finishing masterful rpgs like this, Witcher 3, and DAI. It's always bittersweet since it was great to finish em but now I feel so hollow inside. I just wanna stay in the worlds all three of em had me so immersed in.
feel you.
It is truly a beautiful piece of music. Wonderfully made, and epic. I had Fane, Red Prince, Fan, and my own created character. Beautiful ending to an adventure for the ages.
Finished the game yesterday. Almost cried the moment i heard this song. Ah what a journey that was!
me and my 3 friends finished the game the other day. This ending was so sad but we made a lot of memories along the way. It was truly a great adventure. This fight in particular felt like I was watching a movie. A ballad of the theme song felt so sad and intense.
Can't wait to see Baldur's Gate finished so we can play that game next!
The atmosphere of this fight where this song plays and the sounds of battle are muffled gave such a great awesome presentation of a power and forces beyond mortal comprehension. That these loud, subdued, booming effects were the result of such ferocity and majesty that it could only be the result of those greater than anything even Lord Kemm could comprehend. ...
And then phase 2 happened. Fuck that that part of the fight it could have gone so much more satisfyingly different.
I came here after playing BG3, and can say with 100% conviction that no game, no soundtrack will be up to this moment in the last fight. Larian studios did something with DOS2.
Superb. This was epic music for the Lucien fight. I loved it.
Make sure to bring a deathfog barrel to this battle...you will know your target by heart if you followed the story.
I can't kill myself with deathfog because I'm undead :((((
Just finished the game, and this moment made me swell up.
this is the one i was talking about earlier :) thx mate ! this song fet so well with my betrayal me alone against everyone my former friend and the others NPCs, my last fight [spoiler alert ] it did not end well for me XD
I thought this song was for Ifan as I ended up siding with Lucian to rid of the source and Ifan was determined to take his revenge on the Divine, so he ended up fighting all of us by himself. Truly tragic and this music made it really emotional, it's like knowing you'll die fighting for what you believe is right.
One shot Vredeman with Grasp to avoid the boring Braccus fight. True ending.
when I got to the end and this track came on, my heart skipped a beat, really is one of the best themes i've ever heared
In the final fight, I successfully charmed the Kraken, and it took me like a good minute to figure out why Isbeil, Kemm and Sallow had ALSO now been charmed.
Depressing really, that the final blow of the campaign was dealt by none other than Isbeil, possibly my least favourite character in the whole game.
The fact that all the enemies in the final fight, including Lucian aren't immune to charm is pretty disapointing.
@@UNOwen-ku4pn are they immune to chicken though? that's the real question here, think only the Seven and the Kraken were through the entire playthrough
@@johjoh9270 I checked and both Lucian and Braccus have no immunities. I couldn't find Dallis' stats but I doubt she has either.
@@UNOwen-ku4pn wellp, what's better than charmed lucian? chicken divine! ha
@@UNOwen-ku4pn tho now that I think about it, someone managed to make a cow divine, so... that might be fair
I love the end fight because you are immediately faced with the devestation of hellfire and powerful attacks, but you meet it with vigor and strength of your own. Two extremely capable parties desperately fighting for their own agenda.
That Lucian fight in tactician/honour mode.
There's like 10 different ways to one-shot it
This was just perfect for the ending fight
Imagine what we will get when they release DoS3... can't wait.
This song brings me to the head the image of lucian casting all in
Just finished my tactician run. I yield to none!
“No Gods, no masters!” - me as I strike the killing blow as a Lone Wolf build
Meet Your Maker
lol
Really wish this song played for the whole final encounter. Much more impactful and dramatic after everything that happened. Stupid Bracchus.
I am the Divine now, kneel before me
I did a solo playthrough with a basic "death knight" and this music playing while me cleaving through the biggest sons of bitches made it all more dramatic. I won, but at the cost of 100 replays to figure out how to win LMAO. Tough fight for sure, and great music
This gives major Last Agni Kai vibes
Power.
Cant liaten to this without getting reminded of the red prince telling me it was an honor to travel with me an cryinng
This was a great moment, if only they'd ended it here, I feel like everything after kinda jumped the shark. Ah well, definitely a game that was more about the journey than the destination.
Godwoken.
i love all the comments about the muffled combat sounds and stuff because i first got to the final boss in what ended up being a lone wolf playthrough, just my OC skelelizard and the red prince. fight starts. immediately teleport behind one of the three bosses, instantly destroy her before the song has more than 10 seconds to play, phase immediately switches
in about roughly a month I am retiring I just beat this game yesterday on ironman honor mode It almost feels like this is a point in life i quit playing video games forever.
One thing that bugs me in this fight is how they re-recorded Lucians voice lines for the enhanced edition. There's this one moment where Lucian just says "Kill him" when Braccus Rex reveals himself. That line initially was hushed, without emotion -- an unfeeling god delivering a command. In the enhanced edition, he says it loudly and with force, "Kill him!" I know it's nit picky, but I always felt like the original recording of that line was perfect.
It is better in DE
In the context of the scene, it makes sense that Lucian would be concerned about Braccus. Lucian gave up his divinity just before you fight him, all his power and more is in the Aeteran. If Braccus kills you, Lucian, and Dallis, he becomes infinitely more powerful than a Divine with all the Source in Rivellon, the Seven's power, and whatever the God King grants him.
this is the true final boss theme if you ask me.
Fane (elf skin) be like:
Apotheosis + Flesh Sacrifice + Mass Trap + Time Warp...
Pyroclastic Eruption + Adrenaline + Skin Graft + Flesh sacrifice + Mass Trap + Adrenaline + Pyroclastic flow
ez win
Man i used pyroclastic on my off mage redprince who had a lot of warfare and geomancy and not a whole lot of int, and the guy nearly oneshot everyones magic defenses. Cant imagine what it would be like if my wizaed cast it
Fane 😴😴😴🤮🤮
GOATED
actual chills
Sacrifice...
1:29 ❤
I thought Lucian was divinity's equivalent of Jesus the entire playthrough. This is when you learn it's actually you. You are the lamb that must be sacrificed for the sake of all life that was created.
Glory is mine!
Wish there was an extended version of this
I refuse give my source to lucian because in my opinion is better fight with him and made my own choice after what he did and after he lied ifan and kill innocent in academy and bring back braccus to alive. I decide to give source to everyone and defeat void with them.
The true ending of Original sin II should be: Lucien takes the last fight seriously, uses deadly gift to summon about a dozen or so steel scorpions and they just completely obliterate the player party and Braccus.
No a degenerate like him doesn’t deserve all that power only the God King deserves it or someone other then Lucian
@@johnnyboy3410 My comment was a joking reference to Divine Divinity where you play as the Divine One.
One of the skills you get available is called deadly gift and it allows you to summon steel scorpions.
The skill is broken overpowered. A single scorpion summoned with that skill ranked up a bit can kill any boss in the game.
And you can have five of those following you at all times or summon dozens of them on a whim. Or you could summon a hundred, though they'd finish any enemy around long before you're done.
The main reason I think few people used that skill unless they had trouble with a specific boss fight is, that it really left you with nothing to do while the scorpions massacred any enemies,
If Lucien, being the canonic version of the divine one, still had that skill and it was as powerful as it used to be, we'd be fucked.
С уверенностью заявляю что финальная музыка из дивинити на три головы круче финалки из балдура
Lucian, Dallis, Braccus Rex, and 6 Silent Monks disliked this
BG3 ost is good but it fails to hit the highs set by DOS2
Lucian and Dallis pressed the fucking dislike
I used "dominate mind" on Lucian.
Braccus Rex ruined the climax a bit. I already deafeated him in divinity original sin 1, I didn't need to do it again especially when the fight was about Lucian, Dallis and the magisters.
Shame that our group got fucked over by the game bugging out, it skipped anything Braccus said and all that entailed. It spawned 3 of 4 of us in a group so the 4th could easily kill us, while the game was telling only two of us were together. It didn't let me see end dialogue and it skipped cutscenes for me.
I'll just see it as that we died to Lucian, because this alternative buggy mess is just sad.
First time playing: oh sh- oh sh- oh sh- HAVE TO NUKE LUCIAN DOWN WHY IS EVERYONE STILL FIGHTING HE IS DOWN HELP THE GHEIST IS BACKSTABBING EVERYONE I AM DEAD.
After 10 tries, I just chose the option to give up source. It was not what the Red Prince would do, since it is his, and he doesn't give easily. But against 6 (or is it 7?) Enemies with 6-8 AP each, one can become a dragon, is undead, two gods, and their hard-hitting lackeys? I'm gonna leave this option to the Pyromancer Lone Wolf Lizard next time.
Also, one thing, I tried Nuking Bracchus down, but even when he summoned the Kraken, everyone kept attacking my team as if they are teamed up. Drinking invisibility potions doesn't help. As soon as it went off they allied with each other again. Oh well. :/
Divinity 2 ending is so dumb, whole fight with lucian is pointless. You cant even kill him, and if you chose to fight against him during braccus boss fight he will just disturb you. If you stay with him he will help you and make braccus bossfight stupidly easy. Not even mentioning that you could attack lucian forever but you need to take half of braccus to trigger second phase...
@@maksymilianwaszkowiak2843 I found a way to make this fight ridiculously easy after some thought.
Red Prince Pyromancer / Geomancer. Death wish, 1hp at the start of fight. Give him Magic shell to survive Lucian's first attacks. Then give them all Geomancer 3 source skill. Everyone has 0 magic armor. Throw a mind maggot grenade, attack vreideman until he summons the kraken.
Guess what happens? Since he is still allied with you the Kraken will attack him along with the summoned minions. When Braccus dies the Kraken will retreat. Leaving a half-dead Lucian and Dallis the dragon being easy pickings.
The charm effect is indeed, the most OP thing in this game. Not only you have one less foe, but you gain one more friend. :D
No matter which ending you chosse it wont be a happy one.
Most people will say the Dallis and Lucian ending is the happy one because thei reign the world in peace however that is not true and includes a little but heavy plot hole.
Plot Hole:
The demons are still there and free to roam the world. Now with all source and the Divine gone who will stop the Demons ? Who will stop Damian when he returns ? There is a reason why Adramahlik gives you the choice to work with him or perish alongside Lucian. No matter the ending.....youre fucked.^^
I agree that this demonic hole is serious problem since Damian was still out there and just bidding his time. Although i don't think the Rivellon is fucked since the source isnt completely gone from the world because it isnt possible to completely wipe it out. The reason why Seven created the races was to create more source so logically there has to be more source on Rivellon than before. Only the Seven and all catched sourcerers and godwoken lost source or died.
If you want to know what happens after Dos2 i recommend playing Divinity II Dragon Knight Saga (or Developers Cut).
Except you are the strongest divine ever if you choose to ascend, because the new divine not only holds the powers of the 7, but also much of the exisiting source in the world! That is why as you as the divine, you stand a chance against the god king. To end him once and for all, but as the game tells us, that is a chapter for another time, another game.
If we get Divinity 3 I bet some version of this will be a major plot point in the storyline
@@jamesabuan3837
If we get Divinity 3 i hope we will get the chance to kick the God Kings ass.
I was kinda dissapointed when i found out i get to fight every single major enemy except him.
@@HansPeter-iv9ck I'm pretty sure they planned on having a Divinity 3 so being able to kill him would kinda limit that as a possibility. Unless we want a repeat shoe-horned Braccus situation, which I'd rather not.
Wait theres a fight with Braccus? I literally killed him immediately at the start of the battle. Did i miss out on an epic bossfight?
More annoying than epic tbh.
Missed a bossfight, yes.
Epic? Fuck no.
This is the game that for me ruined videogames forever, since I finished I am constantly searching games that provide me the same entertainment that Divinity 2 provided
It kinda anti-climax when you doing a min max Geo build or Necro build and you OTK this fight :(((
It's in Baldurs Gate 3!
Really? In what moment?
@@MxFlamez1 one of the bard Songs you can play with the instruments.
even with a complete 6 man godwoken this fight is too hard in tactician
hey I just tried the zippyshare link and it said the file's been removed or taken down
Sorry to hear that, but I guess it was bound to happen. You can still try the link to mega. Everything should be up there. :)
@@00tidus oh I it from mega before I posted; just wanted to let you know that the zippyshare link is down
@@LeeThePhoenix Alrighty, thanks!
I Yield to None
It is a pity that BG3 soundtrack is not nearly as good as in DoS2.
I really hope Baldurs Gate 3 does this in the definitive edition.
Back aall those years ago, when the music kicked in, and all sounds where muffled, as my party struggled to overcome the Divine..
I cried.
