"This is it... the Day that I was told by my teachers.. the freakin' day where maths would save the world !" [ Play "Rules of Nature" , smite the demon , win the internet ]
That acutally could even work. I mean they tend to f*ck with your mind but if you are tripping balls on galactic scale? Yeah good luck in f*cking that brain up. Or survive that greatsword that is about to get shoved up your ass so far you´ll see it shining out of the ears.
Here's the relevant quote from the "Old Man Henderson" story (which is very much relevant itself): "So he's at the office, and he meets Jim, asks him to pass along the info to Al, and then snags the scrap of the Necronomicron on the way out the door saying he needed paper. Jim failed his spot to notice which sheet he took. The GM fudged it, probably assuming Henderson was going to read it and he could kill him off via San-damage. Boy howdy, was he wrong. So Henderson shows up to the dance in his usual attire, slightly less scruffy than usual, and volunteers to sit outside and make sure punks from the other schools didn't try and gate-crash the party. The more 'proper' people were glad to keep him out, since that meant he wouldn't be able to corrupt the youth. Henderson was glad because there was no way they'd let him smoke the monster blunt he just rolled inside. I then realized, as he lit an 'atomica', as he called it (a blunt roughly the size of a cuban cigar), that there was currently only one piece of paper on his person. As soon as I found out where he was IC, I went to the school to try and prevent the inevitable. Meanwhile, Jimmy (the jock) was sitting outside, sad because his girlfriend didn't come because she was too busy being a crazy cultist. Henderson decides to introduce him to the wonderful world of substance abuse, and like a bro passes the blunt. To be totally honest, I'm surprised this moment didn't make the original story, since smoking the giant book of Bad Juju was the best thing to ever happen on accident. So Jimmy took a hit, and totally failed every check the GM sent his way. He saw Jesus, and then Jesus turned into a giant squid thing. In the deep distance, the Weed softened the blow by masking everything behind a cartoon-ey after-glow. So imagine for a moment watching Elmer Fudd scream 'Cthulhu fhtagn' and shoot Daffy in the face. Only instead of a fucked up beak and a muttering of 'this means war', he screams 'HE COMES!" and tentacles rip out of his form to molest wildlife." Story itself - 1d4chan.org/wiki/Old_Man_Henderson
Developers: To defeat the final boss, you must sacrifice half of your party. This is metaphorical for the inevitability of... Leper: "R A I N I N T H E F O R E S T"
The absolute nerve to both shit on the game's message, kill a god, and do it all through a combination of drugs and luck, and then to say "rain in a forest" as if this were Tuesday for you... It's fucking inspiring.
You stared into the face of a god, a creator and destroyer. You looked him in the eyes that have caused minds to break and souls to rend, and you found him... lacking.
Technically this isn't a full-formed god by the point you fight him. When it is "born" for real (when you fail to finish the game in 100 days or get too much heroes killed), you get instant gameover because it's not defeatable.
173crit damn son, you didn't just stare into the abyss, you leered at it through a cold steel mask with the diseased eyes of a man with nothing left to lose, and cleaved it in twain with one empowered swing of a mortal blade.
The hardest fights are with a man with nothing left to lose, he cannot be guilted to swing weaker, he cannot show remorse. And he will Show. No. Mercy.
there is nothing mortal about that leper..... he's like Mr. Burns, he's got all the diseases so it's like a traffic jam them all trying to infect him. All he get's are the sweet inhuman buffs... triple digit heart-rate, complete lack of tactile sensitivity, and the delerium! my god the delerium!
Ancestor: "You still foolishly consider yourself an entity separate from the whole. But I know better and I. Will. Show. You" Leper: "No. Let *me* show *you*" BAM 173 damage!
So apparently it's possible to get so high on drugs that you become immune to lovecraftian beings and their powers. Well if I ever had to go some dark creepy place ruled by otherworldly horrors, I know what I'm bringing.
Gurekie We all have our theories, same with opinions so let's try not to make this into an argument, c: just sharing what I think. I say since the Leper's religious, and based on the comic, he once was praised (kinda like a bishop or a priest) all around his kingdom for spreading the word of god or some religious crap, but he then fled his kingdom to find better things to do with the little time he has left in his life, so he traveled to the hamlet in pursuit of casting out the darkness from within it. And from there on out he just devotes his life to you and helping the people of the darkest estate drive the creatures and brigands away.
After all the bloodshed, the chaos, the friends we've lost along the way, we stand here at the gates of hell itself, and here we stop the carnage. Because today, there will not be any death. Today, there will not be any sadness. Today, there will be no mourning, no terror, no fleeing. Because on this day there is but one noise, drifting through the air and into my diseased body's ears through my mask of steel. And it is rain in the forest.
Plundged into the darkness, voices resonate all around us... No words, but a poison... No shape, but the chaos... My comrades are afraid. The madess is upon us... But as I stand here, it cannot aflict me. Behind this mask, there is a knowledge... As I look upon the Abyss, the Abyss cannot distinct me. For the Abyss cannot pierce through the mask, and its hidden secret. For behind this mask is the knowledge... That in the darkest skies will plump thunder. That there will be wind, there will be clouds... And rain... There will be rain... In the forest.
Being able to defeat death is not some newly written prose. "Death Be Not Proud", written in 1609. "And death shall be no more, Death, thou shalt die." It certainly doesn't make a game worse. It brings hope into a dark world. Go forth, mighty leper. Show that thing what a lowly man can do.
Yea, he slams the dragonslayer down, cleaving Griffith in twain with blood in his eyes, as he had just taken a gallon of LSD. As he does this, "Tell me why" from the 1997 Berserk anime is blasting in the background.
This wasn't a battle, this was a medical operation, and the scapel that delivered the final excising cut was wielded by a fallen king in his ultimate act of revenge.
Who would win? The creator of all reality that can mold flesh and is the physical embodiment of the Abyss, or, 3 vapers and a tin of beef stew with a mask and some sheet metal?
Well, it's definitely capable of destroying at least the planet if not stopped, on top of turning back time, making and unmaking all life forms at a whim, replicating itself near-infinitely, and of creating pure nothingness... the only reason it's not done so yet being that it hasn't gathered the power to leave its shell, of sorts, yet _(hence the Bloodmoon/Stygian mode's alternate ending where it does, if you lose too many heroes/take too long to complete the game.)_ I'd say "just a leper with a broken sword" beating it down is still a stupidly impressive feat.
You know, it really makes sense. The Leper, a man with a debilitating infectious disease, and three Plague doctors all at the panicle of their field, literally fighting of cancer.
And so the Lost King, the holy man among the sick and the meek, raised his grand blade and aided by the lights of science, smitted down the False God, and as the bells rang at death having taken none, the heavens weep with joy in the forest.
That's giving me a really hard challenge idea of completing the entire game without nobody dying (That means at the final of the game your graveyard doesn't have anybody)
@@themiller3940 incorrect. Executioner's swords though lacking a tip instead had three holes near the top of the blade. They would let out a screeching sound if the blade was not swung correctly, as it is meant to separate the head quickly and painlessly, in a single stroke. It was a beautiful weapon.
cthulhu is not a monster or god or someting: Its a idea, idea of being never able to understand whats happening... and this drives us insanity moment we face someting we will never understand or find solution.
Isn't that the point of this game facing what you can barely understand failing through some hardships until you finally work you way to surpassing them.
Trouble is: You cant defeat /surpass cthulhu because its things human cant understand. I advice you to make a research if cthulhu was a pysical thing/got facing with him shall only result with turning into complatlely mad and nothing else.
Get out of here with this 'cannot be understood' thing. I can understand stress coming from trying to wrap our heads around something new but we've done that before and we no doubt will in the future.
+TheHalogen131 nah, they buffed the leprosy itself. he got so buffed the heart of darkness got leprosy and died. the leper, however, quickly fell as well to said eldrich super-leprosy.
One of the things that makes this even cooler is the fact that the Leper is a former King who left his country after contracting leprosy. Exiled, ashamed, and yet still fighting to do good in the world. He comes to this, the darkest of places, to find some form of salvation or noble ending to his life. The Leper King strides forth, body empowered by the numerous chemicals empowering him and keeping his rotting flesh from falling to bits... and uses all of his might, his fury, and his Light given grace to strike down the great evil!
No, it makes it better. Instead of being a former King, this Leper was just some random bandit who got lucky enough to live, yet was unlucky enough to get leprosy. However, with his new life, he managed to go beyond what the "heroes" who slain him did: he saved humanity without sacrifice.
NegaDruid he actually exiled himself to protect his people. As we can see in the comic. Everybody crying because of him having to leave due to his sickness.
According to the game, he is also religious, since he won't side with the abomination. This means he met a being worshiped as the true god of the world, with the power to show for it, and found it lacking.
Lol, alternate ending narrative with a stunned Wayne June narration: "Victory- for a... wait what? Whoa, holy shit dude. You like, obliterated that thing from history. Damn. I uh, I don't know what to say. I was gonna talk about time being an endless cycle of death and horror but... Hell, man, I think you hit that thing so hard it felt it in the past AND the future. Guess the manor is yours now. Not how I saw this playing out when I invited you... to the DARKEST DUNGEON!"
>"behold, the heart of the world! Mother and father, alpha and omega, our creator and our destroyer!" >can still be dazzled and stunned by firecrackers. no wonder humanity stopped believing in a god like that.
I am imagining a truly enraged Leper being constantly injected and fed potions to make him stronger for ten minutes as the Eldrich horror observes in horror. Then the hulk figura that is the newly buffed Leper swinging down at it as if he was smashing an orange.
This...this shall be my final battle. Not a tale of sacrifice, but of triumph. My comrades and I hack our way through its false faces, my friends bewildering it with toxins and compounds perfected over years of campaigning against this monstrosity. With mere gestures, it rips the numbed flesh from my bones only to replace it just as quickly, until I feel something I have forgotten for years - pain. At long last, the walls of flesh have been hacked away, revealing the heart of evil. It boasts of being our creator and destroyer. The one that shall end all things. I lock out its voice, meditating upon my blade as every stimulant, narcotic, and anabolic known to man, and a few unknown, are wafted into my lungs and poured into my veins. At long last, the time has come. I say one last prayer to the Light, and lift my sword. For a moment, I see the confusion in the eyes of the Heart. As though it has felt fear for the first time. And my blade falls. As I stand below the gaping wound spilling lifeblood, the false god bleeding out before us, I close my eyes. I can feel my heart trying to rip itself open from the drugs interacting, my lungs heaving irregularly as the doctors prepare their antidotes and counteragents. And the sound brings me back to my youth, when a cloudburst caught me while I was hunting. One sentence leaves my lips before I descend into numbness once more. "Rain in the forest."

@@irpsicologiayeducaciongrup8251 ...and any given nearby vehicles or planetary structures that may happen to dwell in the general direction of where the blade is striking.
God this is so satisfying to watch. It's so awesome to see someone take the nihilistic notion of humanity's irrelevance/insignificance in the face of a universe in which barely comprehensible eldritch horrors exist and just shit all over it by snorting a bunch of drugs and then cleaving one of them into oblivion. Like I know this wasn't meant to be that deep but I hope you know how fulfilling this was for me to witness. Thank you.
Like, that’s the main reason I really dislike the games ending. The whole time, the game deconstructs the standard themes present in lovecraftian horror, showing that humanity is not insignificant, and that, with enough sweat, tears, blood, and sacrifice, the eldritch horrors can be beaten. Then the ending comes and goes “lol nope, he’ll win eventually. Your efforts are worthless and you just commit suicide.” The whole game is a great introspective look at the ideas of mixing heroic fantasy and eldritch horror, showing that, despite how truly horrible and maddening the enemy is, the human spirit can come out on top, only to throw it all away in the last few minutes to instead use the most boring generic Lovecraft ending they can think of.
Henry Badger RNG is confusing as fuck, cause when you need a lot of damage, you only deal like 5, but when you don’t need a lot of damage, it gives you a crit
The plague doctors were the priority targets throughout the whole heart phase because of: high stress (Know This), low bleed resist (Puncture) and low blight resist (Dissolution).
Eldritch Horror: Fear me for I am your creator and destroyer. I am.... *Leper swings his mighty blade and wounds it slightly. * Leper: Rain in the forest. *Leper proceeds to recite more abstract poetry while high.* Eldritch Horror hits itself for 173 damage to end the torture.
Let this be a lesson to all: Even if the powers that be themselves state otherwise, NOTHING is impossible. Astronomically improbable, certainly. Impossible? FUCK NO!
The buildup of the buff chain was insane XD You sir/madam, have stared into the abyss and made the abyss turn away in fear and cry o_________O I suspect the dislikes are from the ancestor and his clones.
Life is that which resists entropy. To stare into unflinching and eternal oblivion is a test we all face, but to spit in its eye is what you've accomplished. The horrors of an unending stygian abyss are nothing to the desperate and driven.
Ancestor: "You still foolishly consider yourself an entity separate from the whole. But I know better and I. Will. Show. You" *Chops it in half with one hit* "Who is separate now, biatch"
Batta: Tell me, Ancestor, what is a being who controls reality to someone who has abandoned his own? Nothing. You are merely a disillusioned sorcerer with powers that will bring about your end. And. I AM YOUR END.
And so it has come to pass that the man who had given up hope, who had accepted that his life was about to come to it's final, rotting end, fought for those who believed in him, and ended up saving the world.
"Rain the the forest.." No Batta the Beast... that's the sound of the blood raining down across the lands as you fucking cut through that heart in one swing and got blood every where. Literally had 3 of his drug dealers just give him just line of cocaine, syringes etc while he muttered to himself on how his girlfriend cheated on him and then took up his huge broken ass sword and kicked that lovecrafting horror bitch back to the lands in which he came from.
To think even in the end, there was only a 1/4 critical chance... How many long, tedious tries did this challenge take? (Edit: Ah, 3) But the payoff was infinitely rewarding. And in light of our hero's backstory, I must add: Hail to the king, baby!
yes, but the odds were much slimmer than just a 1/4 for him to kill the heart. the leper could output damage of 58 to 116 and a crit only multiplies an attack by 1.5. so suppose he hit at the top end of that attack, 116 x 1.5 = 174, and he scored a 173.
That's actually how I found this video. I saw the mention and I'm "Wait, you'd have to do like 150 damage" and lo and behold Batta the beast over here achieved the impossible.
How to kill Cthulhu, *Cthulhu awakes and goes to destroy world, sends a modern day Nuclear missile straight into his face* Mhhmm! Fry 'em good! Put it on the grill Sheila!
Leper: Well, I could crit the heart, but I’ll need a diversion. Doctor: Well that shouldn’t be too... Leper: For five minutes. And considering how badly the ancestor beat me up...nah I’m sure you’ll be fine. Doctor: Did...did you just hold a grudge!? Leper: Doo doo! Duh doo doo! Duh doo doo! Imma chargin my attack!
The Plague Doctors weren't actually buffing the Leper. They were giving him their energy for a Spirit Bomb, which he infused into his sword to cleave the Heart of Darkness in twain from the groin up. When he said "Rain in the forest," he was referring to the rain of pure fighting energy that blanketed the world as his Sword of Hope dispersed.
That was awesome. Well done, drugs and leprosy solve the problem. Though I would argue the leper probably died afterwards of an overdose and if he lived he did not live well sir.
imagine being an eldritch god and dying to a diseased boi and his harem of failed medical students
Harem is power. Harem is life
The plague doctors are women?
@@babasunadebalba9025 yes it surprised me too
@@babasunadebalba9025 Always has been. See the boobs?
I wouldn't mind a harem of failed medical students...just don't let them operate on me.
Darkest Dungeon the game that forces you to fight bullshit with more bullshit
this is so true its funny
Renz F the best way to fight bullshit
"To fight the bullshit, one must know it."
(I stop to open my calculator)
That's when you know shit is about to go down
I can just imagine the leper pulling the calculator and saying "b**h I have math, drugs and a reaally big sword you honestly think your going to win"
cocaine's a helluva drug.

the question being is the cancer in front of them or within leper
And so the Lost King, the holy man among the sick and the meek, raised his grand blade and aided by the lights of science, smitted down the False God, and as the bells rang at death having taken none, the heavens weep with joy in the forest.
That's giving me a really hard challenge idea of completing the entire game without nobody dying (That means at the final of the game your graveyard doesn't have anybody)
True poetry
@@daridon2483 it can end up empty even if people die
Aye, but 'tis "smote" not "smited".
"A singular strike. And all is no more.
That thing was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy and too rough. It was more like a large hunk of raw iron.
*CLANG*
Berserk ref.
Technically it's a executioners sword, less sleek and more meat cleaver
Big iron on his hip.
@@themiller3940 incorrect. Executioner's swords though lacking a tip instead had three holes near the top of the blade. They would let out a screeching sound if the blade was not swung correctly, as it is meant to separate the head quickly and painlessly, in a single stroke.
It was a beautiful weapon.
geuss you could call that leper quite the "heart breaker"
Okay, so if Cthulhu ever wakes up, we should have an army of Lepers and Plague Doctors on the beach waiting for him. :D
make sure the lepers have a crappy life to focus on as well, we don't want soft hitting mummies fighting the darkness
cthulhu is not a monster or god or someting: Its a idea, idea of being never able to understand whats happening... and this drives us insanity moment we face someting we will never understand or find solution.
Isn't that the point of this game facing what you can barely understand failing through some hardships until you finally work you way to surpassing them.
Trouble is: You cant defeat /surpass cthulhu because its things human cant understand. I advice you to make a research
if cthulhu was a pysical thing/got facing with him shall only result with turning into complatlely mad and nothing else.
Get out of here with this 'cannot be understood' thing. I can understand stress coming from trying to wrap our heads around something new but we've done that before and we no doubt will in the future.
Don't mess with Leper. That was him 'cured' by Plague Doctors.
They buffed him so much, he became healthy.
Some dank kush must be in those vials to make someone THAT strong with just vapors.
+TheHalogen131 nah, they buffed the leprosy itself. he got so buffed the heart of darkness got leprosy and died. the leper, however, quickly fell as well to said eldrich super-leprosy.
Pixelated Power You, my friend, have officially killed me. How does it feel to have made such a funny comment?
*Leper:* THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM.
One of the things that makes this even cooler is the fact that the Leper is a former King who left his country after contracting leprosy. Exiled, ashamed, and yet still fighting to do good in the world. He comes to this, the darkest of places, to find some form of salvation or noble ending to his life. The Leper King strides forth, body empowered by the numerous chemicals empowering him and keeping his rotting flesh from falling to bits... and uses all of his might, his fury, and his Light given grace to strike down the great evil!
NegaDruid too bad he use FE7 reference name instead of default name
No, it makes it better. Instead of being a former King, this Leper was just some random bandit who got lucky enough to live, yet was unlucky enough to get leprosy. However, with his new life, he managed to go beyond what the "heroes" who slain him did: he saved humanity without sacrifice.
NegaDruid he actually exiled himself to protect his people. As we can see in the comic. Everybody crying because of him having to leave due to his sickness.
According to the game, he is also religious, since he won't side with the abomination. This means he met a being worshiped as the true god of the world, with the power to show for it, and found it lacking.
I find it amusing how the usual key to killing God is the power of friendship, But in Darkest Dungeon, it is sniffing copious amounts of glue.
Rain in the forest.
defeating the entire heart of darkness with one enraged swing powered by every little thing that made me like this? meh just rain in the forest
Poetic.
You mean the rain of carpet bombing called down from his 173 crit damage? XD
Cool, clear, cleansing, hopeful. Life-bringing. Washing away the evil.
Yeah, I'd say it fits.
When it rains, it crashes.
Shit like this is what the developers should accept as an alternate ending since you absolutely FFFFFFFFFFFFFUCKED the Heart of Darkness.
Lol, alternate ending narrative with a stunned Wayne June narration: "Victory- for a... wait what? Whoa, holy shit dude. You like, obliterated that thing from history. Damn. I uh, I don't know what to say. I was gonna talk about time being an endless cycle of death and horror but... Hell, man, I think you hit that thing so hard it felt it in the past AND the future. Guess the manor is yours now. Not how I saw this playing out when I invited you... to the DARKEST DUNGEON!"
+James McDough As far as I'm concerned, that is canon.
"Guess the manor is yours now. Don't forget to invite them eldritch bitches for the victory party!"
Confirmed canon 10/10
Well if the devs couldnt do it, I say let the modders do it. (Thanks for laugh btw xD)
>"behold, the heart of the world! Mother and father, alpha and omega, our creator and our destroyer!"
>can still be dazzled and stunned by firecrackers.
no wonder humanity stopped believing in a god like that.
The Light: HAH! SUCK IT! You overgrown tumor on the face of this world!
They have eldritch powers beyond comprehension.
We have gunpowder.
I'd say we hold the advantage.
"I stop to open my calculator" I died laughing.
I am imagining a truly enraged Leper being constantly injected and fed potions to make him stronger for ten minutes as the Eldrich horror observes in horror. Then the hulk figura that is the newly buffed Leper swinging down at it as if he was smashing an orange.
This...this shall be my final battle. Not a tale of sacrifice, but of triumph. My comrades and I hack our way through its false faces, my friends bewildering it with toxins and compounds perfected over years of campaigning against this monstrosity. With mere gestures, it rips the numbed flesh from my bones only to replace it just as quickly, until I feel something I have forgotten for years - pain. At long last, the walls of flesh have been hacked away, revealing the heart of evil. It boasts of being our creator and destroyer. The one that shall end all things. I lock out its voice, meditating upon my blade as every stimulant, narcotic, and anabolic known to man, and a few unknown, are wafted into my lungs and poured into my veins. At long last, the time has come.
I say one last prayer to the Light, and lift my sword. For a moment, I see the confusion in the eyes of the Heart. As though it has felt fear for the first time.
And my blade falls.
As I stand below the gaping wound spilling lifeblood, the false god bleeding out before us, I close my eyes. I can feel my heart trying to rip itself open from the drugs interacting, my lungs heaving irregularly as the doctors prepare their antidotes and counteragents. And the sound brings me back to my youth, when a cloudburst caught me while I was hunting. One sentence leaves my lips before I descend into numbness once more.
"Rain in the forest."
I didn't expect to find prose this beautiful in a RUclips comment section but here I am. Absolutely brilliant.

"(I stop to open my calculator)"
Ooookay, this guy's a real fucking genius.
God this is so satisfying to watch. It's so awesome to see someone take the nihilistic notion of humanity's irrelevance/insignificance in the face of a universe in which barely comprehensible eldritch horrors exist and just shit all over it by snorting a bunch of drugs and then cleaving one of them into oblivion. Like I know this wasn't meant to be that deep but I hope you know how fulfilling this was for me to witness. Thank you.
Never forget that these nightmarish creatures CAN be felled, they CAN be beaten!
I always knew that all this big Lovecraftian talk was overrated. This video is the living proof.
Green Smartie It's the same ending scene though it still comes back. It just got very inconvenienced.
Like, that’s the main reason I really dislike the games ending. The whole time, the game deconstructs the standard themes present in lovecraftian horror, showing that humanity is not insignificant, and that, with enough sweat, tears, blood, and sacrifice, the eldritch horrors can be beaten. Then the ending comes and goes “lol nope, he’ll win eventually. Your efforts are worthless and you just commit suicide.”
The whole game is a great introspective look at the ideas of mixing heroic fantasy and eldritch horror, showing that, despite how truly horrible and maddening the enemy is, the human spirit can come out on top, only to throw it all away in the last few minutes to instead use the most boring generic Lovecraft ending they can think of.
@@dr.g5261 I mean...until the next game hopefully gives us a better ending.
When I saw that 173 crit, I lost my shit lol.
Praise RNG XD
RNGesus blesses us on this day
Henry Badger RNG is confusing as fuck, cause when you need a lot of damage, you only deal like 5, but when you don’t need a lot of damage, it gives you a crit
Considering he had 248% chance to crit, I don't think it mattered there. The leper never being attacked while at death's door, however...
NO damge not chance to crit(25.5% actualy)
The plague doctors were the priority targets throughout the whole heart phase because of: high stress (Know This), low bleed resist (Puncture) and low blight resist (Dissolution).
I think the Leper's sword actually called down a nuclear missile from a B-52 and caused the 173 damage crit.
While we are at it, I think we just need what, 1 like for this comment to match the damage number? :P
stronger than god itself
Punished M8 sure he did
Eldritch Horror: Fear me for I am your creator and destroyer. I am....
*Leper swings his mighty blade and wounds it slightly. *
Leper: Rain in the forest.
*Leper proceeds to recite more abstract poetry while high.*
Eldritch Horror hits itself for 173 damage to end the torture.
Urza26 Leper gets so high he starts reciting Vogon poetry
Oh god no.
@@ronnickels5193 YAH
That *is* why they call it beat poetry, right?
As it turns out, all you need to defeat Cthulhu is a big sword and a bigger bucket of drugs.
That's how Leper used to hit before his condition, praise modern medicine of Plague Doctors :D
And Absolutely Zero fucks were given that day.
Ah, yes, the Old Man Henderson strategy: Get so damn high that the eldritch horrers appear as nothing but an ugly-ass dog!
the solution:
point blank annihilation.
"MUCKLE DARMED CULTISTS, ERE YE KEEPIN ME WEE MEN"
To be absolutely honest, the heart of darkness kinda deserved that one.
He had 172 health, he instakills at 170, and you did 173. I have a sneaking feeling that the developers intended for this to be possible.
I imagine the look on their faces when this happens.
And then someone said: _"Told ya so!"_
Let this be a lesson to all: Even if the powers that be themselves state otherwise, NOTHING is impossible. Astronomically improbable, certainly. Impossible? FUCK NO!
but is it possible to beat watch for rolling rocks in 0 a presses
It's not Possible!
No, it's necessary.
Inb4 the devs patch this to actually make it impossible.
Relevant to current (-ish) memes:
HoD: "Come onto your maker!"
Leper: *sniffs the last 9th bottle* "No u"
This is literally summarizing the whole video
The buildup of the buff chain was insane XD
You sir/madam, have stared into the abyss and made the abyss turn away in fear and cry o_________O
I suspect the dislikes are from the ancestor and his clones.

"Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon."
+Anistuffs - The Indian Let's Player Oh silly Rorschach!
+THEREALSPARTAN9001 The real challenge is, do this on an ng+ save file with 0 deaths anywhere.
pepper99ish I think NG+ one-shotting is impossible due to the heart of darkness' increased HP.
Vaping solves all of life's problems, as we can clearly see in this video.
with best buds
Cosmic horror's threatening the world?
Get high as fuck!
The leper had armor. And a big fucking sword.
Big fucking HALF a sword, at that.
but muh??? what????? leper can't attack he only miss! you lie! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
And so, after being bested by Lyn, Batta the Beast retired from banditry for a life of madness, adventure, and dealing HOLY SHIT amounts of damage.
Who did the heart of darkness think it was?
Fire Emblem 6 so good
“Omae wa mou shindeiru”
“NANI???”
*ear piercing ringing sound*
173 CRIT.
Did he just punch out Cthulhu!?
I see you came from DD's TV tropes page.
Nyarlathotep, which is even more impressive.
nah, its Ubbo-Sathla
Should have named the Leper "Old man Henderson"
I don't get it.
here you go: 1d4chan.org/wiki/Old_Man_Henderson
Yep... Guess what the Heart is vulnerable to:
Point blank Leprosy. :D
I WAS THINKING THIS
god bless the story of Old Man Henderson.
truly gloriously insane.
"Spare the others, I am ready...TO SLICE TOU!"
Life is that which resists entropy. To stare into unflinching and eternal oblivion is a test we all face, but to spit in its eye is what you've accomplished.
The horrors of an unending stygian abyss are nothing to the desperate and driven.
Whenever I get depressed or awash in existential despair, I like to come back to this video and reread the comments.
Ancestor: "You still foolishly consider yourself an entity separate from the whole. But I know better and I. Will. Show. You"
*Chops it in half with one hit*
"Who is separate now, biatch"
How do you defeat the heart of the world? Drugs. You use drugs. Lmao. That was amazing.
Gurren Lagann grade victory.
Berserk grade awesomness.
Remember, if you want to kill elderich horror. Take a drugs or be Oldman Henderson.
Or both.
"Victory."
Damn straight.
Batta: Tell me, Ancestor, what is a being who controls reality to someone who has abandoned his own? Nothing. You are merely a disillusioned sorcerer with powers that will bring about your end. And. I AM YOUR END.
Everyone lives! Just this once, Rose-- EVERYONE LIVES!
+IcaraelTheWanderer Oh, there's the Doctor Who fandom. Nine was underrated.
THE MIGHTIEST CRIT OF THEM ALL.
And so it has come to pass that the man who had given up hope, who had accepted that his life was about to come to it's final, rotting end, fought for those who believed in him, and ended up saving the world.
"Rain the the forest.."
No Batta the Beast... that's the sound of the blood raining down across the lands as you fucking cut through that heart in one swing and got blood every where.
Literally had 3 of his drug dealers just give him just line of cocaine, syringes etc while he muttered to himself on how his girlfriend cheated on him and then took up his huge broken ass sword and kicked that lovecrafting horror bitch back to the lands in which he came from.
Heart: "Behold, the heart of the world!"
Leper: *(snorts all the vapors) AAAAAAHHH*
"I'm dying, buff me up boys"
It's a girl...
*opens video*
*see's team comp*
*runs for nuclear bunker laughing at the heart*
To think even in the end, there was only a 1/4 critical chance... How many long, tedious tries did this challenge take? (Edit: Ah, 3)
But the payoff was infinitely rewarding.
And in light of our hero's backstory, I must add: Hail to the king, baby!
yes, but the odds were much slimmer than just a 1/4 for him to kill the heart. the leper could output damage of 58 to 116 and a crit only multiplies an attack by 1.5. so suppose he hit at the top end of that attack, 116 x 1.5 = 174, and he scored a 173.
Jus1 no, crit automatically multiplies highest damage you can do by 1.5x
No thats what i call a "heart attack"
It took me a while to understand that you were hyper-buffing the Lepper
Don't forget that his leper was on deaths door for a while
"I'm almost dead and high off my ass, let's do this shit already so I can go home and rot in peace."
"Spare the others, I am ready."
"Ready... to take your life!!!"

Leper: For five minutes. And considering how badly the ancestor beat me up...nah I’m sure you’ll be fine.
Doctor: Did...did you just hold a grudge!?
Leper: Doo doo! Duh doo doo! Duh doo doo! Imma chargin my attack!
As the tide rises so does the tide fall. The dark had it's time now light shall rise, and it is no more than rain in the forest.
The Plague Doctors weren't actually buffing the Leper. They were giving him their energy for a Spirit Bomb, which he infused into his sword to cleave the Heart of Darkness in twain from the groin up.
When he said "Rain in the forest," he was referring to the rain of pure fighting energy that blanketed the world as his Sword of Hope dispersed.
That's basically Trunks killing Zamasu in DBS eheh
That was awesome. Well done, drugs and leprosy solve the problem. Though I would argue the leper probably died afterwards of an overdose and if he lived he did not live well sir.
He was well on his way out already. If you're gonna die, splitting a god clean in half is pretty high on the list of best ways to die.
Precisely. He knew he didn't have long, so why not go out with a bang?
A sacrifice he would willingly make. The world has given him blessings beyond counting. And so, he will sacrifice himself to bless it in return.
