The Battle in the Cathedral | Critical Role C2E86 Highlight

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ส.ค. 2024
- This was one of the craziest episodes of the campaign and it was pretty much 4+ hours of straight combat. I'm sure there are several other highlights I missed but it's honestly really hard to get good highlights in combat. Hope you all enjoy!

400+ damage in this session
when a wizard wants things dead, *THEY DIE*
I think they described Caleb(and wizards, in general) as good AoE damage dealers.
When a wizard wants things dead, THEY DIE
When a poisonous frog wants a wizard dead, THEY DIE
Wizards are more utility in a bunch of situations, if you want straight magical boomage you go sorcerer. Their motto is 'I didn't ask how big the room is, I said I cast Fireball.'
@@nervesconcord Wizards are both amazing utility casters and unbelievable destructive casters. A wide range of spells, ability to add new ones aside from a level up along with getting to pick your daily stuffs will do that. Sorcerer is just a worst wizard, ironic considering how it was usually the opposite in Pathfinder and older editions of DnD
@@ratlab5680 Metamagic means a Sorcerer can regularly twin spell a Disintegrate, that's 20d6+80 if they both hit, that's an average 140 damage from a single attack at level 11. Plus up until that point you'll be twin spelling Chaos Bolt all over the shop. Agreed, you have to be smart and know what spells you'll need for the level but you can completely change around your whole spell list on level up which is a lot of fun; it always goes down well when for this level you choose Polymorph and surprise everyone when you turn the Barb into a Mammoth for shits n giggles. Plus for me there's nothing more frustrating than being a Wizard and knowing I could have helped if I'd just prepared one different spell that day.
Let's just all agree, Clerics are best.
Honestly, when Yasha stepped out of the stairwell and Ashley came onto screen, my heart nearly leapt out of my chest. I honestly didn't think it'd be so soon, I missed her so much!
ALSO I SWEAR TO GOD IF PUMAT IS DEAD I'LL CRY I SWEAR I'LL DO IT.
They'd better get up to the Cathedral again and see Pumat just standing on a pile of dead cultists like Broxigar inside the Well of Eternity.
The best part is that Brian W. Foster was doing his best to surprise the fans. A recent talks machina, just before this episode, he said she'd be back in "maybe a few months" and I knew he was being a sneaky beaver! With the way the episode before this one ended, I've never been happier to have my suspicions confirmed!
Her entrance is just great. She just pokes her head out from the side then runs around
"I ate that in Japan once." - Travis Willingham.
Probably roasted just right with a snap of his finger.
@@C_Bat Actually, if I remember right, he nearly threw it up, an octopus. Travis told the story in a panel once, where I think he and Laura were in japan on business and so they ate at a restaurant. One of the dishes Travis tried was, I think, a raw octopus and, in Travis's words, was in DEFCON 5 on throwing up, nearly so. Tried to wash it down with beer, it only made it worse. But, he was able to get it down, and remarked on how bad he felt with the look the chief was giving him.
@@skarmenh9 Poor dude... Travis was probably dying inside thinking he offended the Chef..
Just watched this bit. Came here to see if anyone else caught it. So funny.
Almost died laughing when he said that. 🤣☠️
the dispel + spare the dying turn is the most clutch thing ever i love caduceus with my whole heart
Elana Kadish Clutchdeuceus. Caddy Bellinger.
Caduceus mvp
Freaking grave clerics are crazy.
He will always be MVP!
Caddy is a cinnamon bun :3
Caduceus: “Don’t worry, I’m going to pull something that is called a pro gamer move.”
He even legitimately is a professional gamer.
Pog
Am I the only one who finds The Laughing Hand's death a bit sad? I mean, he was originally a heroic and valiant warrior who wanted to defeat the Crawling King, only to be twisted and corrupted into a hulking monstrosity. And even in his twisted form and even in death, he just stood his ground and died standing, showing us that there was still a bit of his former self left as he stands there valiantly. Of course, that's just my theory.
Headcanon accepted
One of my favourite villains on critical role so far. I hope we'll get some more lore on him now that he has been defeated.
I saw him standing there, not moving as him finally being released from his tortured existence.
Exactly what I was thinking too.
whatever was left inside probably welcomed his death if it helps. He got to rest after all this time.
Just IMAGINE this animated!
I mean.
I'd rather not imagine Punished Obann animated. Squick.
The rest yes tho
There is a person who animated Yasha and Beau's fight its pretty dope
IT WILL BE DHKSUFJDBDEJDJ
Soon we won't have to imagine it. OFFICIAL M9 SERIES IS IN THE WORKS!!
Well, soon enough it won't be just in our imagination anymore :d
Yasha saying 'Did you hear that?' to Obann send chills down my spine
yeah. me too.
5:36 aND THE MOLLY REF GOD YOURE CRUEL MATTHEW
Not only that, I'm pretty sure she was stabbed in the EXACT SAME SPOT on her chest where Molly was skewered by Lorenzo. AND she had the All-Seeing Eye tattoo. AND she adopted his creed of "leaving every place better than she found it" (and to her credit, she's taking steps towards that!).
At the very least... history did not fully repeat as unlike before, someone WAS there to save her in time. Ironically, it would be the one who succeeded Molly himself.
“It evokes imagery you’ve seen once before.”
💔💔
@@maryhales4595 Grave Cleric Caduceus Clay: "Wild Mother Says No!"
Beau using stillness of mind and how marisha describes it was a highlight of the ep imo, I must have rewatched that scene like 10 times already
Yeah, that was super awesome! I was actually wondering about how Stillness of Mind would work against being charmed. If you have been charmed, would you actually want to end it? But the way Marisha played it out showed me how it could be played in character without it seeming weird or forced
@@Neko141212 hella late reply but i dont think it would be a spell that had to be invoked, because of her training, its just something she inertly has.
They got Yasha back, killed both Obann and the Laughing Hand, and now know that the control over the Inevitable End can be dispelled... I see this as a complete win.
I have a feeling this could turn into Tentacle Hentai.
.
..
...
AND INSTANT REGRET.
They’ve been needing a win.
4:46 I love how deep Yasha goes into being evil without evil being maniacal. She gives gives the glance l, and then bluntly states how hard she's going to kill Beau.
Pumat Swole is so awesome I can't even be mad at the punnage.
If he isn’t at Travelercon, I’m going to be mad
“I wanna Vrock!”
“Vrock!”
Let’s Vrock!
Vrock and Vroll muthafuckz
This has been an amazing episode. Even the minute role play moments were great. Yasha healing beau. Beau placing her hand on her chest when she sees how upset and worried Jester is about Pumat. I love their adventures and encounters but man exploring their personal relationships is what I’m here for.
i still think that yasha getting the final blow on obann and ripping his wings off was a really cool moment, but does anyone else think it's really cool that yasha was also the only one who possibly heard the voice of the chained oblivion? because i think that's pretty cool.
Listen. I'm a lesbian. But Caleb riding in on the cat paw and setting off the fantasy equivalent of a pound of c4 was SEXY
I'm a straight dude and even I get hot and bothered by that.
Listen. I'm a straight male. But Caleb summoning a pillar of fire to reduce a massive immortal demon to a statue made of dust and ashes was SEXY
I'm a toaster, but you can put crumpets in me...
This comment thread is magical
Then by all logic, that makes you bi, doesn't it?
"Yasha roll your second attack."
"Do I have to?"
I want someone to animate Yasha entering the battle but as Ashley did. It’d be great.
Literally the only thing missing from this video is Beau using Stillness of Mind.
This episode was fucking amazing.
What was that thing Vax once said?
...
Oh yeah
POETIC JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!
It will really be poetic justice if Yasha manage to kill Obann a second time. We will find out next episode.
I can’t wait to see who else is going to try unseal the chained oblivion
@@KeiyarlaDraga well Yasha got the first kill. And the inevitable end got the second. The two people that were controlled by him were the ones to kill him
Obann: This isn't even my final form!... I wish it was.
I want to see the moment Yasha is freed as an animation SO BAAAAAD!!!
If they don't play WE ALL RAGE when it happens, I will be massively disappointed.
So fun note: Liam voiced War in the Darksiders and I wonder if that was the inspiration for how Yasha killed Obann.
as puzzling as darksiders was, i thoroughly enjoyed that game but it never once clicked to me that Liam voiced war and now thanks to you, i enjoy that game even more.
Travis loves DnD more than anyone else in the world. His reactions are EVERYTHING.
11:45 Kratos: "I like this woman's style."
When Caleb said "Get the fuck away from my friends" it hit me right in the feels.
3:14, right when Yasha’s arrival is announced and Ashley pokes out her head, i just imagine the *to be continued* from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure’s coming onscreen 😂😂😂😂
13:37, also love that cruel joke Yasha spits out at Obann....only for him to turn into a hentai monster straight out of the ending of Akira 😂
I was so excited when they finally killed the Laughing Hand that I didn't even hear Matt describing it's laugh one last time live.
I love how amazingly theatrical Caleb's entrance is. A wizard flying on a giant spectral cat paw, shattering the cathedral's stained-glass before sending a sphere of firey death upon his ennemies.
I miss the "I'm dying." " They are overcoming me." "There's blood everywhere." and Taliesins "PLUS D4!" moments, but really an awesome video
Guidance is just “PLUS A D4!”, the spell
*Caduceus casts dispel magic*
Also Caduceus : "There can be only one..."
As far as fights go, this is definitely up there with the Kevdak, Raishan, and Ripley fights.
this moment is so intense, Taliesin hand just shacking.. 6:50
I clicked the like button on The Incredible Pumat Sol. I respect that subtle pull.
it was glorious and nerve racking and the best example of both poetic justice and long awaited reward that has been building for 17 episodes
"ASHLEY'S BAAACK!!"
Best moment
It's funny, my favorite character is Fjord and I thought for a long time my favorite moment in C2 was the whole seaweed wrap scene but I realize now that the dispel is just perfection. Matt described it in such vivid detail, you could see Caduceus determination in Taliesin's eyes, and Ashley portrayed Yasha's feelings so well that I've gotten chills literally every time I watch this.
there's a reason they're called the Mighty Nein, when they go all in, you better not be in their way
I'm just picturing the song "My Boyfriend's back" playing in the background when Caduces casts Dispell on Yasha and succeeds.
Cuz they were golden once she was back
favourite episode yet, fuckin shat myself when Beau went down. Yasha killing Oban was basically Grog killing Kevdak 2.0, fuckin amazing
Such a crazy fight.
And its not even over!
THIS WAS OVER A YEAR AGO
Oh bless my little heart, it doesn't feel so long ago. Curse you, 2020!
Marisha's face when she sees the figurine is amazing.
Caduceus I think got mvp with all his saves this game
justin cifferelli Grave Clerics, baby!
Editing in this one is fucking hilarious!! I love when Ashleys running around the table 🤣🤣
Pumat Swole. Love that pun!!!
Now, how are going to deal with that 'Punished' form when they're tapped out. Pretty sure Beau is Ki tapped & Caleb might be tapped for spells.
Traivs face change at 12:45 was my exact reaction just the realization moment of "oh shit."
I love the new intro my guy
Thank youuuuu
Setting aside everything else, the editing on this video is phenomenal.
Far and away, the most epic episode of Critical Role that I've ever seen!!!!! I watch this over and over again because I can't get enough of it!!!!! LMAO
14:30 I half expected Matt to reappear dressed as the monster. lol
Thank you for this Nico we needed it
I have been waiting for this forever! Thank you so much!
You're welcome!!!
Caleb:🐾
No body:
Me: 👽☝️THE CLAW!!👽
when a wizard has some one to fight for and die for
he goes all out with no regard for themselves
I love what you did with the formatting on this one ^-^ I'm rewatching them all through you and I've seen your creative choices to bring the great moments of this campaign to people in an understanding and gripping way and it's been a great journey. You've done a fantastic job with this :) thank you
thank you for making these :)
Man I remember watching this for the first time. Seeing Ashley pop out with that big ol' grin made me so happy
Oh, no clip of Beau's most badass moment yet, breaking free of the domination?
I love Matt Mercer's boss fights
Hey the drums are a nice touch, Nico! Adds a little something extra!
THERE SHE F KING IIIIS!
This was the first time I was able to watch CR as it happened and not after-the-fact and boi did I manage to see an amazing episode unfold!
the fact that caduces saved the party so many times is why i think every RPG should have support classes and why they are so usefull
ASHLEY IS BACK
I think Liam became my favorite. His descriptions of his magic is just so amazing.
Love this episode. It was so beautiful and full of combat. Only problem is that I think Matt messed up the brutal critical rules. But other than that he was going full on god tier dm mode
One of the most HYPE WORTHY EPISODES in CR history. Right up there with the Kevdak fight.
This is the campaign that made me fall in love with these people.
welcome back Yasha/ Ashley!!!
"I ate that in Japan once" LoL
OMG YASHA JUST PULLED A MORTAL KOMBAT FATALITY!
When the sound fade in for the clip at 10:12 the battle music sounds exactly like the intro to Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke.
I finally got everything I need to be a DM I'm just missing one thing, does anyone know how to get friends.
Seriously, no jk I ain't got no friends LOL
You can either see if there's any local gaming groups OR try to find people online through like roll20 or so!
Roll20 and Discord have entire servers and forums dedicated to this purpose. Just sign up and scroll through campaigns until you find something you like.
I love that "I would know if Yashsa was coming by the way." Just know what was coming up.
Yasha is the only reason every one of those people haven’t got a second character (except talysen) sorry don’t now how to spell name
Just remember Ta-Lie-Sin
whenever I play I always end up screaming “no!” like Travis. lol
YASHA IS BACK BABY
highlights more lire 5 hours of my butt clenched yall
God I want this animated
So after listning to the most recent episode of what the sheet. I came to this video in hopes of hearing the voice Matt uses when punishing oban. Because if the Somnovum is Therizadun then that should mean Matt is using the same voice.
6:25 It's Pumat Swole!
Pumat Swole!
Pumat Swole 💖
Okay, so I’m having Tharizdun be the BBEG in my campaign, and watching the last few minutes really let me know how *terrifying and hard it’s gonna be for my party to kill it*
Loveee but missed Beau's stillness of mind!!
Hey, really love your highlights, make sure to throw in edits and commentary to make it through TH-cam's most recent awfulness!!
One of the things I love about CR is that everyone is committed to the roleplaying aspect.
Ashley doesn’t want to hurt Beau, but Yasha is a mindless thrall who has no qualms going raging and reckless. Ashley doesn’t pull punches, even though she’s probably praying inside that she rolls poorly. Makes the storytelling that follows all the more profound.
Once again, I love our nerdy ass voice actors
Obann the Chaos Spawn.....ick....40k!!!
Ashley be running in like she got picked in the price is right lol
6:45 y'all with the announcement of the Mighty Nein series, I cannot WAIT to see this scene animated. 😍😍😍
Is no one gonna talk about the "get the fuck away from my friends" at 10:02? That line was sweet as hell.
The Wildmother gave a gift to Kord in this episode!
"I ate that in Japan once"
7:44 (Inside the Winter Storm by Dragonforce starts playing)
So this is how yasha got back
Has Mat DM a Call of Chutullu session? Su sure loves Eldrich Horror.
Matt hasnt but Taliesin has
Pumat SWOLE
