This games story is so under appreciated, the true ending on your first playthrough is so rad. Like call me a pussy or whatever but when it's revealed Savan is the seneschal and you realize he's been stuck there for thousands of years because of all the other Arisens failing, it made me pause a bit lol.
its really sad how from the beginning of the game until the end, you fight and travel alongside your pawn, they stand by your side no matter what you do, loyal to the end and by the moment you pierced yourself with the godsbane, the two of you are free and the pawn is finally given life in the form of their master's body in the end, the pawn looks towards the ocean on your direction, as if they're giving their farewell towards you, their own master, as your journey has finally ended and as the pawn is set free
I think the pawn did not want freedom, but always wanted to be with the master, and in the beginning it is clear that the pawn does not know what to do, nor how to behave. Is it worth mentioning who she really is? and in the end decides to continue the life of the master as he would have lived it, and after this matter was done, reunite in the Seneschal's hall.
DD2 story was too rushed. All the character build ups were gone to nothing. And the ending was so poorly written. So here I am, back to this masterpiece ending again...
The DD1 story setup feels way stronger than DD2, specifically the dragon sequence and everything after that, saving maybe the Unmoored world from an visual standpoint. The sequence here gives me chills every time. And Grigori is treated with far more respect.
The final boss (Seneschal) sucks, it’s bad but the concept itself is cool, I was thinking how the final boos would go and the last part could be where you fight all boss in the game, as ın to be above everything you need to be able to kill everything to have the power to create
Yes bro.. plus it had the dark arisen DLC and it was just perfect… might buy a ps3 soon and put my old harddisk on it, and continue with my true old arisen
@@NathanDiegoiam Not really, at the end of the game the cycle is really broken. In the end, the Arisen not only gave his pawn a life of truth, he also released the world from the cycle, so that life is not maintained by the designs of a god, the dragon or the Arisen, but by the will of all living beings, that way the world can finally move forward. Obviously the fact that there is no seneschal means that someday the world will end, but that makes the decisions and actions of everyone have more meaning and importance, everyone can choose their path, for better or worse . The fight against your old characters is a gameplay mechanic, which only happens if you play offline.

@@nicholas_eras It is said that the will of our Arisen was greater than that of previous arisens, so he/she simply breaks the cycle, even knowing that this will cause the destruction of the world in some future, breaking the cycle implies that things will have an end .
Arisen: oh my god, I've defeated the final boss and I'm stuck in an endless dark void. I'm nothing but a ghost in the real world. Is there anything here in the void?! Only thing in the void: Wolves hunt in packs arisen! Arisen: NOPE! *Stabs self*
This seems like the worst possible ending, when this happened to me I felt like all the fun was sapped away, nothing to strive for, no grinding for levels so you can win a fight by the skin of your teeth, no heart pounding boss battles. Being God sucks
If they actually made a 2nd Dragon's Dogma, it could rival many good games, I feel that it is much better than Skyrim (I've played more than 400-500 hours of it), as the challenge and general interactions are much more polished.
Skyrim suffers from bland design all around, which why I'd never recommend the vanilla game, just look for mods and tailor the experience to your liking.
The ending with Quina was my first one, and also my favorite. She realizes at once that the person at the beach is not the Arisen, but she feels her beloved's presence somehow. This game is beautiful.
"You are close now,so very close to me" bam reveal your previous character and he says "I shall meet you on your own terms,joined by my own companions of old" as he summons your previous pawn. That shit is powerful
When they got Godsbane and equipped it, I was like cool, I read the options, "Pierce" I wonder what they're gonna do with that. I just about ROFL when the stab themselves with it, and the Pawn is like MASTER!
Now compare this masterpiece of dragons dogma 1, to the unsatisfying ending of dragons dogma 2 that was lame writing. Cant believe that a Game from 2012, rocks a game of 2024 almost in every aspect . Capcom has trully fallen from Grace, like Grigori from the sky .
I don't normally tear up over games, but this? Just the fact that your character can't recall who they really are and that they are free really gets to me. Thanks for uploading, I was looking all over for the ending.
Dragon's dogma was one of the best surprise package I ever got the chance to play in my life until now. It's a diamond in the rough, with both surprisingly enjoyable mechanics and a story far deeper than what you expect at first glance. Truly, one of the best RPGs out there.
Revelation: The past Seneschald is wrong, the world is not a infinite loop, only from his perspective does it seem so, rather, its a spiral, that from the top perspective seems like a circle, but is actually simply doing the same thing over and over again, but WITH a beginning and ending. Where do I base this off? The Ur Dragon is said to be "the first" dragon. he cannot be "the first" if the world is a infinite loop without a beginning or ending. for him to be the first, there had to be a start to the cycle.
jefthereaper while(true) {system.out.println("World"); it starts as one them repeats and again and again and again and again. . . . . etc. a loop that starts but always repeats.
I know im very late, (been ages since i played this last,) but if u do new game+ and get to the end (the hallway before facing the boss) stabbing urself make you turn into the ur dragon
There's a theory that by committing suicide, you truly become the Seneschal. Savan talked a lot about how the world needed one, and he did pull the Godsbane Blade out of his chest. It had to get there somehow. Furthermore, it's "true freedom" description didn't say it was immediate. As in, the Arisen Seneschal may need someone *else* to use it upon them to get their so-called "true freedom," just as Savan did. Plus, Savan clearly holds the cycle in disdain, and not fearing death, likely would have sought to end it if he thought it was possible.
This is exactly true. I also wondered if stabbing yourself merely casts off your physical form to fully embrace the power and role of Seneshal. That also means you can't break the cycle, which is pretty bad.
Nah, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure Savan pulling out the sword was there for dramatic purposes. I'm sure we broke the cycle... At least for that particular world. Capcom can create dark stories, but they aren't known for being cynical. Edit: few errors in my grammar.
I still remember when I started the game I kept thinking "Wow, great gameplay, but the story is so contrived and basic it hurts." Then out of nowhere it slaps you in the face with this genius, metaphysical "this world is just a simulation, the people (NPCs) don't have free will, only the arisen (the player) does, and the world resets every time a new seneschal takes the throne (every time you start a new game, the cycle resets)." shit. Straight up knocked me on my ass. 10/10 I like to think that if you stop playing the game after breaking the cycle, the implication is that the NPCs finally gain free will and are no longer shackled to play their roles in the cycle.
While I had a lot more fun exploring through the world of Dragon's Dogma 2, seeing its final boss compared to the this one is a complete disappointment. Watching One is nowhere near as good as the Seneschal. A control freak god who does the "everyone has a role they follow" is nowhere near as good as a god who seeks death and wants to see if your will is worthy of being a successor and keep in mind this is all coming from a guy that was more on the gameplay aspect in felling giant beast with a custom sidekick.
@@yamnbam4346 and honestly, there would of been nothing wrong with him had they learned from the Seneschal fight and made him the opposite in beingan actual challenge rather than what he ended up as.
I actually enjoy the watching one. He reminded me of the antagonist from Final Fantasy 16 and his inhuman like manner. Dude really thinks he’s a god just to have us put him in his place
This was actually such a badass moment, I remember that badass at the games introduction, I thought the dragon had beaten him and his pawns, so badass.
Tbf DD2 was never gonna be able to top the reveal of the final boss being the guy (Savan) you played in the prologue. Thus completing the cycle. Then the reveal of the NG+ final boss (offline) when expecting it to be Savan but then it turns out to be previous you. It was just chiefs kiss.
Man, I forgot how awesome the ending to DD1 was. Beating the Dragon, surviving the Everfall and in the end becoming ruler of the world through a fight with the OG Arisen and his pawns that you actually played with in the prologue of the game. Then just to find out it’s all meaningless and choose to kill yourself. The game simply won’t end until you do. And the cycle ends, with your loyal pawn living a happy life. Sooooo good. So many twists and truths revealed. Meanwhile DD2, we only ever see the dragon at the end (don’t even get his name) and we never fight the pathfinder he just dies in a cutscene. Hell, they didn’t even unmask him he was literally just some nobody. We deserved a fight with the pathfinder, we needed to know who he was, we needed so much more. That’s only talking about story. Let’s not talk about DD1 having a proper endgame even ignoring Dark Arisen.
If you die during this fight you turn into The Dragon. Which means Grigori was an Arisen who lost against Savan. That makes the line “This pain, the same pain I have inflicted before!” During the Grigori fight mean so much more.
On your first playthrough, yes. If you finish the game subsequent times, the end boss will be another random arisen. Just to be clear here, you will not fight online against an human opponent, the game will just load the stats of another player and use that as your last boss. In the end you will still fight against the computer. And of course, if you play offline your opponent will not be another random arisen, it will be yourself as you last faced the Seneschal
using the godsbane on yourself before using it on the final boss has got to be one of the most dickish things you can do in this game. like, really? you off yourself when you only need to stab me now?
*"Mourn me not, for I welcome the release, at long last I am free of eternaity, of infinity, free of the cruel, unending ring!"* those words had me in tears, because I could sense his greatfulness of being set free, I say this was beautiful and well done, and when I fought my first two characters i was very surprised..
Years later this ending still sticks with me. Its bittersweet. You give your life so the cycle stops but doing so gives your pawn the life they deserved.
So fun fact about my experience with this boss. On my 5th or 6th play through I get to the final boss and it is one of my previous characters. Was slightly confused but figured that given the nature of this boss it was logical that this could happen. Very next play through. Final boss is my character from the last one. And now I am thinking, “What are the odds of that?” Yes I was online.
What always got me about this is the fact that this is all a cycle without a beginning or end. A "god" arises, fulfills his duty for as long as his sanity can withstand being an eternal spectator to the world, and then initiates the next link in the great chain. None of the participants has a choice in the matter, not even the "god" that oversees the cycle. Your character just happened to be the poor schmuck with enough willpower to fulfill the conditions necessary to become "god" this time.
Incredibly moving ending, probably one of the best endings of all time (if the story wasent so massively unfinished). I'v never seen any game juggle breaking the fourth wall as much as DD did at the end. The way it integrated a gameplay feature so prominently into the story all the way to the end is just awesome (pawn's)
When I beat this game in new game plus I had expected the same arisen and pawn to fight you. My jaw hit the floor when I saw that it was my previous arisen and main pawn that I had to fight instead. So bad ass
i love how every time you fight God its a new pawn showing that ANY arisen in the world can become god, also i love how every single time you knock them down and kill them, they are just sitting on the throne TOYING with you, i want to say they are holding back, if they can create life and holy blasts from barely a thought i want to say they are just playing with you, testing you to see if you can inherit this new world as the keeper
Dragon's Dogma takes place after the Usurpation of Fire ending in DSIII. The very first Seneschal is the Ashen One. Becoming the new Seneschal is linking the usurped Fire. Boom, crossover.
If you’re the master of the universe, why not just rewrite the rules? Make it so you are free, the world is at peace, and your pawns have will and emotion.
The seneshcals own title explains why they cant do that. Theyre caretakers of the world. The true god above them is the only one that could rewrite the rules. Savan himself even says even hes not sure bout how it fully works. All the seneshal can do is give the world will and then start the cycle of dragon, arisen,replacement once they no longer can bare the burden of it.
@@nicholas_eras the living will still exist but they will just BE they won't DO anything. As i said and what savan says. The Seneschal Makes the beings of the Dogma world have the will to live. To fight. To survive. To plot. To actually move. Without the seneschal the world just stagnates to a standstill. What seems to happen when an arisen sacrifices themselves and the pawn replaces them, is that the instant they die and are thrown out of the seneschal throne room a new seneschal from a different universe assumes the throne. Savan himself even said that there could possibly be multiple seneschals
@@matheusalvarenga7820 Lol yeah right. That's not fun in any way. But you know what I did? Farmed killed Death until I reached level 200. Way more fun than just throwing throwblasts the entire game.
@@StardustCrusader18 i was talking about the dlc dude at least the easiest way to get early levels in bbi is using throwblasts at first, then killing death multiple times
I tried to make this fight last longer. but something weird happened. I know to kill him your pawn or you must grab him, than the other person hits him. but here's what happened. I killed his pawn. my pawn hit him once with a bolt and his health went to zero. he grabbed him. that hit him on his own which finished him off. wtf happened.
I ve met this game on my old ps3 searching for a good free game,this one caught my attention by the name and graphics,my first thoughts were: "is this a demo? I would love to pay for this game, just look at all details!" I was scared to defeat the dragon (Gregori) because i felt it was too hard, but it was easy, man, i l tell you, the end made me cry a lot, because i *allways* cry when there s two people or should i say, *best friends* that seperate or one sacrifices for his best friend, where these two have been through a looot of things together and this, this ending, made me cry, even more when it was about a month or more of killing griffins,cyclops,chimeras,drakes,gazers,eliminators,etc. man i have no words for this game, it was an impact when the main pawn sacrificed his/her self to make arisen( you) live. Also, the fact that my main pawn said "No!..." when i used godsbane made it even sadder, even through my pawn was wearing a eliminators mask. *i m crying right now* F for the gamers out there that cried with me
Izzoroth DayZ isn't really my thing. Sorry, I didn't mean to whine about the final boss, he just...didn't feel like a final boss. I guess it is a nice contrast however; Damian was hard as hell, and Seneschal was easy.
For anyone wondering why a sequel hasn't come out yet, it's because the directoy made DMC5 first, which explains the five-year gap of nothing Dragon's Dogma related.
The pawn does become human, but if you have a male Arisen and female Pawn, the female Pawn changes genders (but not voices) to match the Arisen. The concept behind it is pretty cool storywise, but its poorly executed in the ending. Same with the whole romance system.
It took me 3 times fighting this guy before I realized that my useless ass pawn had to grab him in order for me to kill him. I had to go back to my last save and change her vocation to a strider, because as a sorcerer the dumb bitch just stood there and did nothing. Other than that he's the easiest fight in the entire game.
i know it's been awhile but I still play this game a lot. I love it. Is everybody ready for the movie? Yup! that's right! They're going to make a movie of this game.
A moment of silence for my first playthrough, i didnt know i had godsbane in my inventory soo i thought the game ended with you watching everyone forever. And when i figured it out it was already too late because i had done a new game.
In truth, the arisen stays, but the current playthrough youre on is considered the "last" one, breaking the chain and freeing yourself. But Yada Yada the real story is that you sit and wait
Generally, people who commit suicide lack the will to live. The whole point of the system is that it isolated people with the will to live. So, er, yeah, the idea that someone with a will to live that strong could be so selfish they'd kill themselves in a fit of pique was kind of out of left field. Though of course, since time is an endless loop in this game, who knows if the system was created by someone or if it just exists naturally.

Best ending is definetly to turn around, go back to your love and live a peaceful life^^
The ending credits brought me to tears.
Manly Tears!
If they actually made a 2nd Dragon's Dogma, it could rival many good games, I feel that it is much better than Skyrim (I've played more than 400-500 hours of it), as the challenge and general interactions are much more polished.
It's fantastic!
Stop talking right fucking now
Cry more triggered fanboy
I spent a lot of time in skyrim, but this game... this game its just wonderful.
Skyrim suffers from bland design all around, which why I'd never recommend the vanilla game, just look for mods and tailor the experience to your liking.
Thank you for not talking. I hate when people add their own narration. I just wanna see the ending!
So just play the game yourself
@@americancheese9103 pay me the game and i'll be gladly to play it
The ending with Quina was my first one, and also my favorite. She realizes at once that the person at the beach is not the Arisen, but she feels her beloved's presence somehow.
This game is beautiful.
it is the same for everyone if I remember correctly, but Selene is the only one who outright knows what had happened
Appreciate the attention to detail, a lot of the NPCs with involved side plots have unique lines for all the beloved scenes.
"You are close now,so very close to me" bam reveal your previous character and he says "I shall meet you on your own terms,joined by my own companions of old" as he summons your previous pawn.
That shit is powerful
Badass Seneschal
When they got Godsbane and equipped it, I was like cool, I read the options, "Pierce" I wonder what they're gonna do with that. I just about ROFL when the stab themselves with it, and the Pawn is like MASTER!
Now compare this masterpiece of dragons dogma 1, to the unsatisfying ending of dragons dogma 2 that was lame writing. Cant believe that a Game from 2012, rocks a game of 2024 almost in every aspect . Capcom has trully fallen from Grace, like Grigori from the sky .
Fr this story is 10x better than the rushed dd2 we got
Bro DD1 plot was also trash
Having Savan end up being the final boss was good move seeing as we played as him in the beginning
I don't normally tear up over games, but this? Just the fact that your character can't recall who they really are and that they are free really gets to me. Thanks for uploading, I was looking all over for the ending.
I really love this ending, it's so dreamy and captivating. Had to return to this after being disappointed by the sequels ending.
Same lmao. DD2 has such a lame story in comparison to the first
Selene is the best relationship for the end, because she explains what happened to the Pawn. :p
Please explain
Make Selene your waifu and you'll see.

Dragon's dogma was one of the best surprise package I ever got the chance to play in my life until now.
It's a diamond in the rough, with both surprisingly enjoyable mechanics and a story far deeper than what you expect at first glance.
Truly, one of the best RPGs out there.
Still love the fact you can crawl and climb on just about anything. Adds such a unique battle mechanic not many games have.
Wow this fate really does suck
Supposed to. Savan said that he wasn't happy as God. You're a slave to the Eternal Ring and you can never be free.
Revelation: The past Seneschald is wrong, the world is not a infinite loop, only from his perspective does it seem so,
rather, its a spiral, that from the top perspective seems like a circle, but is actually simply doing the same thing over and over again, but WITH a beginning and ending.
Where do I base this off?
The Ur Dragon is said to be "the first" dragon.
he cannot be "the first" if the world is a infinite loop without a beginning or ending.
for him to be the first,
there had to be a start to the cycle.
So then the cycle has an end after all.
An infinite loop might have been strait once, and bended into shape at some point.
jefthereaper while(true)
{system.out.println("World");
it starts as one them repeats and again and again and again and again. . . . . etc. a loop that starts but always repeats.
I think that they refer to him as "the first dragon in the world," right? The cycle predates the world.
I know im very late, (been ages since i played this last,) but if u do new game+ and get to the end (the hallway before facing the boss) stabbing urself make you turn into the ur dragon
There's a theory that by committing suicide, you truly become the Seneschal. Savan talked a lot about how the world needed one, and he did pull the Godsbane Blade out of his chest. It had to get there somehow. Furthermore, it's "true freedom" description didn't say it was immediate. As in, the Arisen Seneschal may need someone *else* to use it upon them to get their so-called "true freedom," just as Savan did. Plus, Savan clearly holds the cycle in disdain, and not fearing death, likely would have sought to end it if he thought it was possible.
This is exactly true. I also wondered if stabbing yourself merely casts off your physical form to fully embrace the power and role of Seneshal. That also means you can't break the cycle, which is pretty bad.
Nah, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure Savan pulling out the sword was there for dramatic purposes. I'm sure we broke the cycle... At least for that particular world.
Capcom can create dark stories, but they aren't known for being cynical.
Edit: few errors in my grammar.
@@unknownguy8687 Cynical? Interesting perspective.
I think it’s true bc u meet your old character in ng+
I still remember when I started the game I kept thinking "Wow, great gameplay, but the story is so contrived and basic it hurts."
Then out of nowhere it slaps you in the face with this genius, metaphysical "this world is just a simulation, the people (NPCs) don't have free will, only the arisen (the player) does, and the world resets every time a new seneschal takes the throne (every time you start a new game, the cycle resets)." shit. Straight up knocked me on my ass. 10/10
I like to think that if you stop playing the game after breaking the cycle, the implication is that the NPCs finally gain free will and are no longer shackled to play their roles in the cycle.
While I had a lot more fun exploring through the world of Dragon's Dogma 2, seeing its final boss compared to the this one is a complete disappointment. Watching One is nowhere near as good as the Seneschal. A control freak god who does the "everyone has a role they follow" is nowhere near as good as a god who seeks death and wants to see if your will is worthy of being a successor and keep in mind this is all coming from a guy that was more on the gameplay aspect in felling giant beast with a custom sidekick.
Yea I agree. Watching One doesn’t even stand out that much tbh, their type of character has been done so many times before.
@@yamnbam4346 and honestly, there would of been nothing wrong with him had they learned from the Seneschal fight and made him the opposite in beingan actual challenge rather than what he ended up as.
I actually enjoy the watching one. He reminded me of the antagonist from Final Fantasy 16 and his inhuman like manner. Dude really thinks he’s a god just to have us put him in his place
have you ever tried to wait for another arisen to come? i am still waiting in the room 3months 24/7
Are you still waiting
Just A Meme Boi
I think it might take a while.
Lololololol
Are you still waiting?
Are you still waiting?
This was actually such a badass moment, I remember that badass at the games introduction, I thought the dragon had beaten him and his pawns, so badass.
Tbf DD2 was never gonna be able to top the reveal of the final boss being the guy (Savan) you played in the prologue. Thus completing the cycle. Then the reveal of the NG+ final boss (offline) when expecting it to be Savan but then it turns out to be previous you. It was just chiefs kiss.
7:35 "'Tis a simple choice Arisen" No motherfucker no it ain't
"Step forward or retreat"
Seems pretty simple to me
The music for this game is till this day one of the best I’ve ever heard ): it gives you chills.. and it is so pleasant to listen to.
Man, I forgot how awesome the ending to DD1 was. Beating the Dragon, surviving the Everfall and in the end becoming ruler of the world through a fight with the OG Arisen and his pawns that you actually played with in the prologue of the game. Then just to find out it’s all meaningless and choose to kill yourself. The game simply won’t end until you do. And the cycle ends, with your loyal pawn living a happy life. Sooooo good. So many twists and truths revealed.
Meanwhile DD2, we only ever see the dragon at the end (don’t even get his name) and we never fight the pathfinder he just dies in a cutscene. Hell, they didn’t even unmask him he was literally just some nobody. We deserved a fight with the pathfinder, we needed to know who he was, we needed so much more.
That’s only talking about story. Let’s not talk about DD1 having a proper endgame even ignoring Dark Arisen.
Fun fact - if you don't use godsbane after becoming a seneschal you can literally stalk everybody while being perma invis.
If you die during this fight you turn into The Dragon.
Which means Grigori was an Arisen who lost against Savan.
That makes the line “This pain, the same pain I have inflicted before!” During the Grigori fight mean so much more.
A lot of the dragon's dialogue has a secondary meaning if you've played through the game at least once, makes NG+ a bit more interesting
23:37 this moment always make me cry
is the final boss who u play as in the intro
On your first playthrough, yes. If you finish the game subsequent times, the end boss will be another random arisen. Just to be clear here, you will not fight online against an human opponent, the game will just load the stats of another player and use that as your last boss. In the end you will still fight against the computer.
And of course, if you play offline your opponent will not be another random arisen, it will be yourself as you last faced the Seneschal
I prefer to be offline for the final fight, it's SO much cooler.
Yes
using the godsbane on yourself before using it on the final boss has got to be one of the most dickish things you can do in this game. like, really? you off yourself when you only need to stab me now?
That and Liqud Effluvium
"I'll not waste time on Rhetoric. Defeat me and take my place as keeper of this world."
I like the cut of this guy's jib.
He spews his rhetoric during the fight. Good thing too because it's vital you know what's going on.
Cockratice are harder to beat than this boss
*"Mourn me not, for I welcome the release, at long last I am free of eternaity, of infinity, free of the cruel, unending ring!"*
those words had me in tears, because I could sense his greatfulness of being set free, I say this was beautiful and well done, and when I fought my first two characters i was very surprised..
Years later this ending still sticks with me. Its bittersweet. You give your life so the cycle stops but doing so gives your pawn the life they deserved.
Completely undress your pawn and Arisen, before landing the final blow. He/She'll be undressed in the new game as well. XD
So fun fact about my experience with this boss.
On my 5th or 6th play through I get to the final boss and it is one of my previous characters. Was slightly confused but figured that given the nature of this boss it was logical that this could happen.
Very next play through. Final boss is my character from the last one. And now I am thinking, “What are the odds of that?”
Yes I was online.
It’s adorable that you ran past everybody, too hard to cut them down, but you still wanted to be a god.
"Mourn me not, for I welcome the release.
At long last, I am free of eternity... Of infinity...
Free of the cruel, unending ring"
What always got me about this is the fact that this is all a cycle without a beginning or end. A "god" arises, fulfills his duty for as long as his sanity can withstand being an eternal spectator to the world, and then initiates the next link in the great chain. None of the participants has a choice in the matter, not even the "god" that oversees the cycle. Your character just happened to be the poor schmuck with enough willpower to fulfill the conditions necessary to become "god" this time.
years later I realized that he used the pawn noel too.
Incredibly moving ending, probably one of the best endings of all time (if the story wasent so massively unfinished). I'v never seen any game juggle breaking the fourth wall as much as DD did at the end. The way it integrated a gameplay feature so prominently into the story all the way to the end is just awesome (pawn's)
The only game i played where you become the literal final boss😂lol... And damn im lovin it... Love fighting myself as a boss
Top 10 anime reveals
Oh I got selene
When I beat this game in new game plus I had expected the same arisen and pawn to fight you. My jaw hit the floor when I saw that it was my previous arisen and main pawn that I had to fight instead. So bad ass
I can't fucking wait to play this game again on PC.
Mourn me not, for I welcome the release. At long last, I am free of eternity... of infinity. Free of the cruel unending ring
I like both DD1 & DD2 story
i love how every time you fight God its a new pawn showing that ANY arisen in the world can become god, also i love how every single time you knock them down and kill them, they are just sitting on the throne TOYING with you, i want to say they are holding back, if they can create life and holy blasts from barely a thought i want to say they are just playing with you, testing you to see if you can inherit this new world as the keeper
Surely, the cycle began again.
And surely, the cycle was the same.
9:42 so damn epic
The begining of this OST is sooooo epic
3:30 is when epic godly music starts
Dragon's Dogma takes place after the Usurpation of Fire ending in DSIII. The very first Seneschal is the Ashen One. Becoming the new Seneschal is linking the usurped Fire. Boom, crossover.
If you’re the master of the universe, why not just rewrite the rules? Make it so you are free, the world is at peace, and your pawns have will and emotion.
There is a power far beyond god can handle.
The seneshcals own title explains why they cant do that. Theyre caretakers of the world. The true god above them is the only one that could rewrite the rules. Savan himself even says even hes not sure bout how it fully works. All the seneshal can do is give the world will and then start the cycle of dragon, arisen,replacement once they no longer can bare the burden of it.
@@ZeroOmega-vg8nq does the world need the seneschal at all? I dont get it. The living will still live and so nature
@@nicholas_eras the living will still exist but they will just BE they won't DO anything. As i said and what savan says. The Seneschal Makes the beings of the Dogma world have the will to live. To fight. To survive. To plot. To actually move. Without the seneschal the world just stagnates to a standstill. What seems to happen when an arisen sacrifices themselves and the pawn replaces them, is that the instant they die and are thrown out of the seneschal throne room a new seneschal from a different universe assumes the throne. Savan himself even said that there could possibly be multiple seneschals
@@ZeroOmega-vg8nq But if the Seneschal takes over another one's position after they died, what happens to the first world the Seneschal takes care of?
“I would beg you rest awhile, but just as like you’d turn a deaf ear. Instead I only ask that you keep us in mind, now and again.”

If you team up with Lucifer, you can destroy the great wheel and end the cycle forever.
demi fiend is an arisen :P
Daimon had countless cycles to do that, he obviously failed as we fellow arisen kept farming his body.

@@StardustCrusader18 use throwblasts :P
@@matheusalvarenga7820 Lol yeah right. That's not fun in any way. But you know what I did? Farmed killed Death until I reached level 200. Way more fun than just throwing throwblasts the entire game.
@@StardustCrusader18 i was talking about the dlc dude
at least the easiest way to get early levels in bbi is using throwblasts at first, then killing death multiple times
I tried to make this fight last longer. but something weird happened. I know to kill him your pawn or you must grab him, than the other person hits him. but here's what happened. I killed his pawn. my pawn hit him once with a bolt and his health went to zero. he grabbed him. that hit him on his own which finished him off. wtf happened.
I would hate being invisible and phasing through people and not be able to go where u want and no talking 😩😩😩
Bro the ending had me In tears truly the best rpg😢
GET READY FOR THE SEQUEL
17:20 im just coming here for this part. I can listin to his words every day
It's truly fantastic
broooooo this part making me cryyyyyyyyy
I ve met this game on my old ps3 searching for a good free game,this one caught my attention by the name and graphics,my first thoughts were: "is this a demo? I would love to pay for this game, just look at all details!"
I was scared to defeat the dragon (Gregori) because i felt it was too hard, but it was easy, man, i l tell you, the end made me cry a lot, because i *allways* cry when there s two people or should i say, *best friends* that seperate or one sacrifices for his best friend, where these two have been through a looot of things together and this, this ending, made me cry, even more when it was about a month or more of killing griffins,cyclops,chimeras,drakes,gazers,eliminators,etc. man i have no words for this game, it was an impact when the main pawn sacrificed his/her self to make arisen( you) live.
Also, the fact that my main pawn said "No!..." when i used godsbane made it even sadder, even through my pawn was wearing a eliminators mask.
*i m crying right now*
F for the gamers out there that cried with me
A little too easy, especially for a boss that I can now kill in a single hit. REALLY?
Just feels...unsatisfying...
go solo the Ur-Dragon or Damien and Death from Dark Arisen expansion :P
Izzoroth Ur dragon? Done. Damian? Done.
Death? Fuck that guy. =P
Then it's time for you to move on and find a different game. You've done all you can already. Try DayZ and see how long you can survive there.
Izzoroth DayZ isn't really my thing. Sorry, I didn't mean to whine about the final boss, he just...didn't feel like a final boss. I guess it is a nice contrast however; Damian was hard as hell, and Seneschal was easy.
How were your encounters with Death? I still haven't beaten him, but mind you I'm only lv 54
For anyone wondering why a sequel hasn't come out yet, it's because the directoy made DMC5 first, which explains the five-year gap of nothing Dragon's Dogma related.
You became God. Quest complete. You killed yourself. Quest complete. No other franchise can top that! 😂
So... if my character is a male, my pawn, who is a female, is she going to become a man in the end? (Google translate) O.o
Pretty much
TrickyTidy Thats suck ;-;
Nah. Your pawn become human being. Its your physical form get destroyed.
The pawn does become human, but if you have a male Arisen and female Pawn, the female Pawn changes genders (but not voices) to match the Arisen. The concept behind it is pretty cool storywise, but its poorly executed in the ending. Same with the whole romance system.
Yes it made me die laughing when I saw my senna turn into Holdan Gorge.
9:49 blew my mind when I played this for the first time.
It took me 3 times fighting this guy before I realized that my useless ass pawn had to grab him in order for me to kill him. I had to go back to my last save and change her vocation to a strider, because as a sorcerer the dumb bitch just stood there and did nothing. Other than that he's the easiest fight in the entire game.
That savan reveal was awesome.
i know it's been awhile but I still play this game a lot. I love it. Is everybody ready for the movie? Yup! that's right! They're going to make a movie of this game.
17:24 that moment, the way he talk, the words he use are amazing bro....
in my ending there is Selene the little girl It's amazing how this game has ending changes It's amazing how this game has ending changes
So in the end it doesn't even matter after everything we die
A moment of silence for my first playthrough, i didnt know i had godsbane in my inventory soo i thought the game ended with you watching everyone forever.
And when i figured it out it was already too late because i had done a new game.
Fortunately, a sequel is on the way
9:42 best chills ever. Until you go to NG+, reach here and you're the unlucky sod who has to fight a joke looking arisen... xD
You'd think this "unending loop world" would have a better system than that to prevent the suicide of god... lol.
I was god for 5 seconds then took suicide hahahaha xD
MarcusDarkstar we don't know what happens . Does the arisen stay who knows
In truth, the arisen stays, but the current playthrough youre on is considered the "last" one, breaking the chain and freeing yourself. But Yada Yada the real story is that you sit and wait
I suppose the others didn't think of commiting suicide because they weren't selfish enough, lol.
Generally, people who commit suicide lack the will to live. The whole point of the system is that it isolated people with the will to live. So, er, yeah, the idea that someone with a will to live that strong could be so selfish they'd kill themselves in a fit of pique was kind of out of left field. Though of course, since time is an endless loop in this game, who knows if the system was created by someone or if it just exists naturally.
Fantastic final boss, in my opinion.
That surprised the crap out of me and I thought it was soooooo freaken awesome to see my old character as a god and actually talking :D
You become a literal God but can’t conjure up something to do, like create books to read or play chess with your pawn.
I think they does , but when new arisen come they will stop and acting as final boss ( just joking) 😂😂
Man, I really can't wait for the sequel, hope we get gameplay soon and hope it's on RE Engine
RE Engine Dragon's Dogma 2 would be godlike
Wow you where spot on. It's gonna be on the re engine
I own this on ps3, ps4, PC and Switch. i love this game so much. i'm even on the leaderboard for the UR dragon. NG+ god knows what ?! XD
someone can tell me what happen after the final boss can wee keep play or do we have to create a new party ?
New Game Plus.
