I like to think that canonically this is probably how the fight with O.Dio went, The Kid and Mad Dog against the entire gang ducking and weaving through the alleyways to stay out of sight of that damn Minigun while picking the Crazy Bunch off one at a time
When I learned that you could spare Mad Dog, I booted up my auto save to punish O. Dio again to let Mad Dog and Kid’s dance continue. I adore their dynamic,
Theres also an alternate scene where sundown steps out of the bar but mad dog seemed to have ran off, only to quickly come back No idea what triggers it, possibly saying “ ...” instead of “of course kid” when leaving the bar, but i haven’t seen anyone else get the scene
it triggers by not talking , since i fucked up the fight the first time since i figured out way too late how to stop O.Dio and the second time decided to be silent, changing the cinematic.
To be fair, it's such an easy fight, and you don't really have much in the way of healing items in this chapter anyway, that there's little reason to bother opening the extra menu to see if Flee can be selected.
I had no idea how to set traps so I just fought the boss like this and won first try lol. I still don’t know what the traps even are that they were talking about. The game really is easy until the difficulty spike at the very end.
The hidden ending is actually at the end, fleeing from Mad Dog after the O. Dio fight triggers this second encounter with him instead. Dog tames O. Dio in this ending too.
All that is separate from this, tho. I took out everyone but O. Dio with traps, and was able to flee from Mad Dog and duel him in the epilogue, too. He even tamed O. Dio.
At 13:20 the bartender describes O. Dio as "He never slept, they said. Never slept and would never die." Pretty glaring reference to Judge Holden from Blood Meridian, who's an order of magnitude or two scarier than O. Dio. Like, wow.
"Death is nothing to fear." Says a 'man' who is in reality a collective identity of countless dead soldiers.

This chapter is awesome.
The Kid and Mad Dog might be my favourite "Live A Live" characters.
What an epic duo.
11:16-11:26 Mad Dog: Haha. Nice technique you got there. Now watch ME do it.
It's defintely cool and intense on fighting all the members of Crazy Bunch without the townsfolk help.
That's what real man's gotta do
@@Gexon1000You are absolutely right.
yuup, makes their win more epic
Freaking badass.
Edit: Holy crap, I didn't know you could spare Mad Dog! I'll remember that for subsequent plathroughs!
I just beat this boss and my first thought was to see what would happen without any traps. Thank you for satisfying this specific wonder of mine
Nothing changed. The secret came from sparing Mad Dog. Which I already saw Vinny do.
Officer Joseph Dio, the sole survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn
IT'S A HIGH NOON DUEL, SUPER FAMICON STYLE
Wild west history be like:
Honestly you can treat this chapter as that or alternative history since in lore O.Dio was part of General Custers Calvary unit
You can ran away here?!
And here i was pushing "..." 30 times before i finally agreed to fight Mad Dog. It felt awfull!!!

I got the scene too the first time lol

2:10 If there’re no guys left, Mad Dog twirls his gun a little bit to fill in the time.
Lol my man said 'What? And waste this TNT and Firebottles on their horses?'
I didn't know you could spare mad dog!!
You monster, you killed your friend.

Based
Why am I only finding this out now?!
I thought I *had* to kill Mad Dog!
Oh well, I wanted to do a 2nd Playtrough anyway
I just wish this let you use mad dog in the endgame.....sigh
I’m pretty sure half the side characters wouldn’t stand a chance, except maybe those of the prehistoric era
The Magnificent Two.
I just uncovered a ending where mad dog runs away from the fight. And sheriff takes over. It’s if u don’t say “it’s time mad dog”
Dat's a lot of bad guys...
DRAW, WANDERER
Does something change if you beat the chapter without using traps? I didn’t noticed anything different about the ending
You can kill Mad Dog in the Showdown, and you don't get to see how he tamed O.Dio.
The hidden ending is actually at the end, fleeing from Mad Dog after the O. Dio fight triggers this second encounter with him instead. Dog tames O. Dio in this ending too.
You can choose to kill Mad Dog or let him live and later on he’s seen with a now tamed O. Dio and he challenges you to a duel just like the prologue
All that is separate from this, tho.
I took out everyone but O. Dio with traps, and was able to flee from Mad Dog and duel him in the epilogue, too.
He even tamed O. Dio.
@@-Chrome- That's independent on whether you use traps or not
Does the secret ending affect the final chapter cutscenes for him?
It only affects the cinematics and dialogue once you have finished the final chapter.
YOU CAN SPARE HIM??
Yup, I can't believe you killed Mad Dog...
is secret ending dependent no traps pr saparing mad dog?
sparing mad dog
