Well let me start with this. I truly thought that Vox would have the most difficult time, but I was clearly wrong. IMO other than Vex getting pwn'd then brought back, Grog was insanely OP. That was an amazing battle. After watching this video it is clear that the weavemind will be the most difficult fight. I do not believe Ludinus, even though he will be just like Pumat in that there are multiple snowballs, basically, he will be a tough fight but doable for Bells Hells. As for the weavemind....I think the Might Nein will have their difficulties even though level 20 is just pure insane. The overall issue is mind control. That fight is going to be a constant battle with that and illusions. Curious how the power is going to break down though. So, if there are 5 weavemind creatures, then if 1 dies does it lose 20% power? Curious if that is how Matt is going to do this powerband thing or will it be reverse? If 1 dies the last of them gain power? Overall, Weavemind > Ludinous > the army that was on Exandria.

who cares, they are npc´s in vox machinas story, sad but true

3:57 How do you feel that Apollo aimed his Dodgeball of Prophecy straight at your forehead, and it instead grazed past your hair?

I feel like if Arkhan comes back, Joe's going to be sitting in the DM chair when he's playing him.

Jester's second "Because He's upstairs?" Breaks every gosh darn time! Lil rambling... One of the first real instances of loss this character had to go through, they bonded almost immediately as chaos Tieflings. Molly was her friend, and i think one of the first realizations that part of having friends means you may have to someday say goodbye to those friends!! So she did her damnedest every time to never have to say goodbye to another friend.

Let's remember the hells and the nien used a lot of spells just calling people that even they said before switching back to vox machina they shouldn't have done that.

Just remember, M9 took out VM when they squared off.

not only does bells hells have pretty bad dice luck (and i may be misremembering some moments), but i feel like matt has had some crazy dice luck throughout C3 and during a lot of the big fights. i feel like i remember him rolling a lot of 20s as otohan.

I kinda hope BH lose the fight.

Mercer is afraid of challenging his players. And when he did, they were afraid to face anything for 50 episodes. Nobody will die, there's no discussion

I reckon my favourite team Bells Hells have got this in the bag. Evidence: they have the mask of the Raven Queen and The Arch-hearts hair strand (with meteor swarm) , they are united right now after I believe Orym got them on board of not releasing Predathos (unless shit hits the fan) Liliana if alive will turn on Ludinus in a flash and catch him off guard (and possibly Robbie’s character in the fight) and if they succeed yes they may die but mask or Archheart strand. I’m aware that I’m completely probably wrong and everyone may die but I need Laudna to be ok again and Imogen to marry her love

They could in a last ditch have the majority, if not all but Caleb Or Chetney, jump into the potable hole then teleport to the portal and have Fearne Wild shape with them in the hole to get out. Or some other combination of people and abilities. That would be best case if they need to leave and can.

I think mighty nein will be fine. The Caleb and Yasha mind blank are huge and Beau is dangerous as long as she can reach anyone. The two clerics can keep them up (plus we have seen with VM how two auto divine interventions are crazy). My concern is largely for mighty nein. I’d say TPK but I think Launda, Ferne, and Imogen may have story reasons they survive but I think this is the most likely TPK

If they release Predathos, I imagine the the Divine Gate will dissolve as it happens.

I'm reminded of the VM vs MN oneshot personally, and the analyses that pointed out how VM is very offensive whereas MN is very defensive. MN has only had one pc death that lasted long enough to need resurrection instead of revivify, and said death influenced their builds for the remainder of the campaign! I think that character deaths are possible for the Mighty Nein, but I think that a TPK is unlikely Bell's Hells, however, seem to be in a far worse position, even without all of the critical story things that they have to deal with on top of the straight fight. I hope that both parties make it out okay, but I think that BH may have heavy casualties

No one will stay dead. Matt does not DM that way unless a player forces his hand. We had yet another meaningful moment passed by with our final episode of VM. Imagine **SPOILERS** if Vex could not be brought back when she died. Something like the divine magic that the gods used on Predathos to bind it into Ruidus absorbs the souls of those who parish on the moon to fuel the spell. That would also explain why the Reilorans exists on Ruidus as well. A Vax finally freed takes a second to absorb the scene before him. And in those brief seconds, where he sees the destruction his family brought to those who imprisoned him, he bares witness to his twin permanently dying. That would be real drama. And a shot across the bow for MN and BH that if you are going to mess around you are going to find out in the most unpleasant way. Real, meaningful stakes. Which is why Matt would never do it.

The problem with high-level wizard antagonists is that it's very hard to convincingly defeat them. Ludinus is a thousand year old max level spellcaster. There's literally zero excuse for him to not have contingencies upon contingencies. I think Matt obviously knows this, so I actually think there's going to be a second fight after this upcoming encounter.

Im honestly not too concerned about them getting through the portal. As long as Fjord is there, he can cast water breathing. But I do worry what might happen to Bells Hells. I think they will take the hardest hit, just from the outcome of who does what concerning predathos. I am starting to wonder if either Imogen or Fearne will try to take in predathos and go wacko. And maybe that will be the plot of campaign 4 or a one-shot.

Ludinus defintely has resurrection plans and I would be suprised if neither of the remianing groups encounters a simulacrum(sp?). He might also turn up dressed as FCG just to f*** with people but that's a long shot theory tbh...

I can't wait for the Mighty 9 fight cause in theory they have hardest fight out of all 3 parties' buildup wise. They feel like the most prepped party with 4 true heavy hitters being Caleb, Yasha, Fjord and Veth with Beau and Jester being able to occasionally match them and Cad being their true support. I don't think the Weave Mind as individuals can match Ozo Kruth but all of them as a unit surely eclipses him and they also have the ability to control any NPC outside of them and maybe the party to do whatever they want. I really can't wait for their fights. Also unrelated but also relevant what happened to Ludinus's Plan to show the world what happened to Aeor. It seems like a waste since the whole world basically already allied together to take him down or was that a plot point I missed earlier.

I’m expecting a Lucien style fight for the M9

And the other big problem is this. Braius fucking told Asmodeus about the Archheart’s plan and that bastard intends to stay behind if the other gods leave.

But also dont think so, they died they are dead, off scren shure.

i think the mighty nein could be fucked if the weave mind has access to polymorph and banishment. like imagine transforming yasha into a sheep and sending her back to exandria. the same with caleb (who has a tendency to become bigger monsters for better attacks and ac) Im almost sure Ashton will be the one releasing predathos, in the cooldown for the last episode Tal said "it will be a shame if something happens to the gods" and i think the rest of the cast think he's joking but we know how arrogant and selfish ashton is, if they think they right and everybody else is stupid they will do it. it would be the third "its what my character would do" moment of this campaign. edit: even if matt goes full no mercy mercer, he always designs his boss fights thinking in ways they could win because he cares for his friends and want them to succed even if someone has to sacrifice themselves (as it was with otohan)

13:02 I think all 3 parties will be happening at the same time so for the mighty nien and bells bells the bridge would still be up currently

Jester will finally be able to get a Devine intervention for once since it’s guaranteed at level 20 lol

I feel like there's a non-zero chance Ludinus will respond to the destruction of the Bloody Bridge by True Rezzing Othahan Thule. No idea what OT will do for replacement Gear, but I'm sure Matt will think of something.

One detail that you got a little bit wrong in here *Minor Spoilers Below (If you watched this before the episodes somehow) Exandria is flat not Spherical

Should be noted that the cast said that the Wedding does not prevent them from dying and that they'd possibly squeeze it in somewhere in the timeline if unable due to something like death

I like just because you mentioned Dragon Ball Z : ) !!!

I’ll say this in terms of the fights themselves I’m not worried about the mighty nine they have 2 lv 20 clerics and I doubt the weave mind has anything that broken. The bells hells however I think might have some issues. As they’re the weakest group by far and have the least possible back up. As for getting off the moon that could present issues depending on if Predathos is freed or not. If not then I see no reason even if they can’t teleport that everyone can’t make it off. If he is let lose then well several people gonna die.

Yes.

I'm worried about how many will survive due to plot armor 😅 But hey, maybe they will be wrapping up the whole saga and we'll see actual permadeath 🤷

First: In the realm of alternate weddings… do you think we could get a Keyleth/Vax? Full on goth wedding- black dress, raven skulls & black flowers & black feathers for decor… set it after this key battle before he is reclaimed by the Raven Queen. And it ends with Scanlon removing Vax from Keyleth’s memory entirely. Second: regarding the escape from Ruidus, I think there are more options available. The bloody bridge is removed, but that also set the leylines back to rights so they may be able to teleport or plane shift. Especially if this occurs, as you suggest, after the cage holding Predathos is removed, which may have circumvented members of the Grim Verity in the past. Even if they do have to get all 15 of them back through the hidden backdoor portal, they could put people into the hole to minimize that number or otherwise transform people to be smaller and/or more able to get through. Overall, I think Predathos likely will be released, but I don’t think it will destroy Ruidus. I think Liliana will be the chosen vessel, but Imogen will swoop in and take her place last minute. I may have set my expectations too high, but I can see some cupcake level curveballs from Bailey to Mercer in this last battle for the Bell’s Hells depending on how it plays out. I also kind of expect the Mighty Nein to come in at the end of the Bell’s Hells’ battle (almost too little too late) for a bit of final cleanup and maybe healing/revivification before they all hightail it out.

Just because he is the lap dog of the Weave Mind does not mean the Weave Mind is more powerful than him. For example a navy seal is the lap dog of an admiral, but the seal would be able to kill the admiral in the blink of an eye. Look at real life it happens all the time, so it is not a given that the Weave Mind is more powerful.

Bells Hells might be fucked. We know that the weave mind created the Malleus Fortress, but the Nein have a ton at their disposal, and lots of ways to deal with death. I think that Lilliana will turn against Luda and save BH's.

Music is a nice touch man. I don't think the Nein have much to worry about. I am super worried about the Hells though. They're nowhere near as powerful as VM or MN and their only real allies close by would possibly be Lillianna and MAYBE Ira depending on whether or not he is in the feywild still or not. Nana Mori COULD somewhat intervene as well as the Raven Queen, but that's it really. The hells are in trouble with their fight.

I don't think we need to be worried, based off of Vox Machina's fight they should be rather fine. The fight in C3e114 only had a single tense moment, when Ozo Cruth downed Vex. But that only happend because they forgot that he needed to roll against blindness after hitting Vex with his Frenzied Wrath. Vox Machina still had four 9th level spell slots (Cerkonos, Pike, Keyleth, and Scanlan), meaning they had a ridiculous amount of remaining power leftovers after the fight. Might Nein have greater survivability and power compaired to Vox Machina. 》Fjord has [Armour of Hexs] and [Aura of Protection] 》Jester + Caduceus has [Power Word Heal] + [Divine Intervention] 》Caleb has [True Polymorph] + [Mind Blank] 》Yasha has [Rage Beyond Death] + Caleb cast [Mind Blank] on her 》Beau has [Empty Body] + [Dimond Soul] 》Veth has [Uncanny Dodge] So I firmly believe that Mighty Nein will not have any issues with the Weave Mind. And Ludinus has never seemed to be as strong as the lore suggests, he has always seemed to be an achievable goal for Bells Hells. In regards to getting off Ruidus, since a divne gate stops [Teleportation] but not [Plane Shift]. Or if they have to get through the water, Fjord has a free use of [Control Water].

we have music now?

FCG is Sam's optimistic and positive Cleric Automatron in Campaign 3 - his catchphrase "Have a smiley day". 91 episodes in and now the bonded group have to take on a legendary enemy in the final fight against Otohan. If you know, you know. The fight is epic and takes a long time (2 hours 40 minutes), so watch all of it, some of it or skip to the last part if you want to see the sad ending. 1h55m - Battle begins (2 hours 40minutes remaining) 3h17m - Otohan Exaltant Fury (1 hour 18 minutes remaining) 4h - Fading hope (35 minutes remaining) 4h26m - True Heroism (9 minutes remaining) Definitely up there in saddest/greatest CR moments. th-cam.com/video/EJSGR3voqU4/w-d-xo.html

I dont think it was hard enough lol. Should have had some legendary resist on the big beasts, and maybe 2 vidulches. Less small npcs. Make them struggle some more, and then pop some reinforcements hahaha.

The infinite attacks shenanigan was pretty bad imo. I agree that since they have plenty of level 20s together the encounter should be really hard, but this is not the way to do it. Instead they could have many enemies that are strong but don't have anything absolutely ridiculous like that. So many ways that are more fun, can be countered or otherwise make sense. That one left a bad taste.

lol, some folks are silly, the dude wasnt that big a deal, entire thing is massively overblown.

Can I point out how RIDICULOUSLY OVERPOWERED is the blessing of dawnfather? Dealing a 15-20 points of dmg, and knocking prone ON EVERY ATTACK THAT HITS YOU?! Maybe it wasn't that ridiculous because it was Vex who got it, and she's quite squishy, but imagine it on someone more tanky, not even mentioning if a beast like grog got it 💀 (Also resistance to necrotic, because why not)

Hi

And i dont think Otohan willl always always be the greatest enemy their ever fight XD !!!

Also also, got only one night, Lets get laid XD !!!

Also they forget action surge is only once per turn, but at least was a cool Shooting at the guy : ) !!!

So here's the thing they wanted Vax to go to the Moon. The Matron says to him, decide what's important. HE SAYS, "I'll serve you on this mortal coil". So say he goes to the moon they "win" whatever that looks like. Though IMHO she's going mortal and he's taking over, if not serving her on the mortal coil means back on Exandria? No? He's choosing. She gave him a night... then he hits the moon. Then either becomes a God or is freed because if she's gone who's he setving??

Well he said at the end if the story we get the end of the story...It depends on what happens with MN & BH.
