On my first playthrough, right at the end of the fight, I saw how after that massive combo his attacks became slower and slower... He was exhausted, he knew he stood no chance of winning, but he kept fighting anyways... In the end, he really never gave up. He couldn't.
@@YoIsthatJuiceboxSupreme the edge was fun and inspiring, this fight was just. Heart wrenching. Then the song directly after.... I need to play this game again
I really like how The Voice doesn't say anything bad about The Hand, like he did for The Song. If you kill The Hand, you're killing a hero. It's made clear that you are the villain here
Except you are only a villain because of what you are. It's not your fault that your being is toxic to their world. They locked you up instead of sending you away. There is nothing stopping the mothership force from sending more of player character. Heck, your character can choose to fight to protect your jailers IN SPITE of how they treated you. And it's also pretty obvious that the Chain was more of a villain. Senseless cruelty that would only motivate your escape and revenge.
@@normalguycap I mean you probably had a lot of time to reflect. The place you were in is kind of like a time prison. I bet the Rider did a lot of damage on that combat suit that he was in. I bet he absolutely wrecked shit before he had to be constrained, and only broke free from the mothership after a very long period of time waiting.
@@normalguycapyou were sent to earth by the star SPECIFICALLY to conquest it and terraform it. You can't say it's not rider's fault, or that he can't control it. Rider initially WANTED to kill humans. Later on though he started to like humanity die to his exchanges with the guardian, and had a change of heart, which drove him to attack the star
I love how this boss was effectively the second coming of the Chain. Except, instead of an emotionless husk constructed only to torture you, this was a real man, with a real family.
I believe Chain was a real human being as well, tasked with keeping the Stranger weakened by constant torture. They couldn't have been just torturing him for the sadistic pleasure of it, I don't think Stranger can even feel the pain at all. They just hoped to keep him in a weakened state to reduce his chance of escape
@@noname-ov8lm eh, The Chain probably was deriving pleasure from The Rider’s pain, but I don’t think it’s in an entirely sadistic way. I think it’s more likely that The Rider killed someone The Chain cared about, and The Chain is torturing him as personal revenge.
@@noname-ov8lm The stranger has definitely been shown to feel pain, a great example is when he gets impaled during the scale fight (it's a loss animation.)
The irony is, he could be telling that to himself, he had an army of hundreds when he defeated The Rider, and now he's alone. How many gave their lives under his command to put The Rider into that prison, and how can he possibly do alone what they died to accomplish? But it's still his duty to try, and he absolutely does everything he possibly can.
@@lady_deaths_head The Voice ended up regretting his choice and ended up freeing The Rider/Stranger for the sole purpose of him seeing his kid again which is very evident at the end of the game where you find the hidden cut scene that has The Voice with his daughter after escaping the jail they built for The Rider with the Voice basically saying that freeing him *was his only chance* to see her again even though he knew the risks involved.
He who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
"I am fighting for something much greater than this." "Can you imagine the strength that gives me?" "I doubt it. And so your fight ends _here."_ Gives me the chills every time.
If you want to hear an excellent performance by the VA if you haven’t already, check out the game Faust: The Seven Games of the Soul where Geoffrey Bateman plays the character Mephistopheles, who appears as if he’s supposed to be the main antagonist at first but turns out to be much more complex. The game has some pretty ugly character models and the story doesn’t always make sense, but Mephistopheles’s character is genuinely really good.
That bit of lore the Voice gives you pre fight is quite ironic when you really think about it. "He lead hundreds of them against you, is that fair?" While in reality it must have been an epic, desperate battle for humanity considering the Scale and Flame are possibly the "lucky" ones in the Hands Army.
"I look at you stranger, and I see nothing. Death. Desolation. You are alone. I am fighting for something much greater than this. Can you imagine the strength that gives me?" -The Hand
Matthew DiRienzo "A crack in the shell... but can you find it twice?" "You live under the illusion of control. Abandon the fight. It is written." -The Line That old man was a fucking savage in sheeps clothing xD
I found it neat that this fight features the classic "Link vs. Ganon orb reflect battle", however, the twist is, you play the role of Ganon firing the orbs, and the Hand is the one that reflects first.
Actually, no. The Stranger is very much the protagonist. SPOILER Being a villain and the protagonist are not mutually exclusive, after all. The guardians are all antagonists, but are heroic antagonists.
@@Thenextworldwar I wouldn't say that the Stranger is a 'villan', more like a guy just doing what he was made for. Plus, isn't he doing all of the planet destroying because his planet is endager of dying?
I just realized that The Hand was fighting for a lot, for his family, for the world, and it all gave him strength. He knew what his battle with Rider (the "protagonist" of the game) cost. But he lost, he lost to someone who has nothing to fight for, lost to someone who's alone, who has no soul. There's also something in his last attack. The combo on his last breath, especially the last blows, when he was already desperate, he could not believe that he was losing, that he was about to lose so much, with such stakes. He will lose too much, he is too weak against evil, something that does not understand what people are sacrificing to stop him so that he would not destroy their world. But what does Rider do? Kills him, the father of a poor child, who's future is now under a threat. Did Rider feel anything when he did this? No one knows and will never know.
To my mind, what Rider feels or does not feel depends on the player itself. If the player feels something, then Rider feels too. If the player doesn't feel anything, then Rider just as emotionless. That is how I perceive the game. You start with hate and then gradually realize who you actually are
@@antonmakarenko3271 I agree, you see how angry is when you choose to reject the Star, and that's because you chose that. There's nothing in the story to indicate he would be
I love the idea of a clash between a classic knight and a wandering samurai in this fight. It gives a nice touch in making this battle seem grander, as two opposed sides clash.
This is when you begin to wonder if you're really supposed to be the hero in this story... Also, it's not a good idea to shoot this guy's shield with a charge shot. Holy shit, the reflected damage.
You don't have to use a charged shot for the trophy guys lol just use a regular shot that deals like half a square of health if you mess up, rather than a charged shot that takes half of your entire health.
It's pretty obvious during The Scale fight already. And even The Line is giving you a clue that something is up even if he never says if it's good or bad.
>Has artist named "Kn1ght" >Has boss that's a knight. >Kni1ght makes soundtrack for someone else >Has artist named toxic Avenger. >Has a swamp boss >doesn't use toxic Avenger for swamp boss.
Well actually none of us are we just take the perspective of the name in my life time i grew up being like Jacket through violence and trying to free. Not the lifestyle you want!
sad part is, even if he rebelled against the Star returning to the planet would still force him to be by himself. So no matter what, he's either alone with his ship of killers or alone away from the those who forgave him. :*(
Man I am so happy they used Carpenter Brut music in Samurai Jack season 5 promos, it just continued to remind me of this game and I'm so happy they used his music.
Spoilers Ahoy! ... "Rabbit Head" aka The Voice aka The Architect, built the "prison" you are trapped in and along with The Song, chose the "jailers" who would stand guard to prevent you from returning to the planet. Everything worked fine until one of them got the jitters and wanted to go home to his little girl... that being The Voice aka The Architect aka "Rabbit Head". It's possible The Hand (this tracks boss) avoided this personal conflict by bringing his son with him. I don't believe any of them are aware of The Voices betrayal, so The Hand didn't take his son along to prevent a specific outcome, he just knew his resolve would waver without being able to see his son (he would forget what they fight for... hence track title).
Definetely my favorite boss fight. Not because of the difficulty, although I must say, unlike the previous ones this was the one I found the most fun, but because of what it did with the narrative. Suddenly you realise things aren't as simple as "The jailor is the key. Kill him and you will be free." Furi is not only a mechanically great game, but also a narrative treat.
+antoine olol can i just say that the edge was probably the second hardest boss other than the final mothership one. my god i lost so many times against The Edge
+MLP_Reaper Yeah, if your Blocking/Parry game wasn't on point, your ass was destroyed. Now if it was on point, he becomes one of the shortest boss bottles.
Architect: "You'll be next, Hand." Hand: "Indeed I will." Song: "No. You've done your part. Go, be with your son. Take your leave." Hand: "It is precisely because of my son that I cannot leave. I must do everything in my power to keep the world safe for him." Architect: "And are you prepared for the eventuality that you'll leave your child without a father?" Hand: "I am. Were you?"
The Chain fell to a man who had escaped his own shackles. The Strap died finally free from bodily restraint but too lost to see it. A Line without time was stopped when his fortune abruptly changed direction. The Scale was tipped out of his own favour. The Hand gave up the strong grip on his shield out of desperation. The Song failed to lull her enemy into giving up. The Burst was out-lasted against a sustained attack. The Edge, upon meeting his rival, could never have been sharp enough. The Beat could only flee when faced with her enemy's drums of war. In the end, when it was only one sombre Voice against his own fleet, the Rider proved only he held the reins to his destiny, and outshined the Star.
Even before buying the game, i kind of knew what was going on. We were inside of a *prison*, not a cage, not an slave cellar, we were not a good guy. But even when i knew the Stranger was not the hero, i kind of expected him to not be THAT bad. But, in the last guardian battle, when The Beat is practically crying and screaming for help, asking you to not scape, thats when i got the real perception of what kind of ~treat~ the Stranger was, and oh dear god, that Free World scene, with everything dying around our feet, was so fucking satisfying, and, at the same time, so terrifying, it felt horrible. I made my choice even before talking to The Star, i was going to get my redemption. But, this boss, The Hand, made me feel the same as when i watch any Undyne the undying boss battle: I wanted him to win, even when i gave my best, i wanted HIM to win, for he was the real hero.
God, the scene with The Beat like tore me up. It came out so suddenly, and I got fucking Sif flashbacks. Honestly, that was the moment that I was absolutely sold on this game's narrative. It was so fucking good, fuck.
@@quincycarra9107 Please..... Hold my hand.... Yeah that was cruel, but I had to do it, I had to finally leave. And yet when fighting the hand, all I really wanted to do was slap that sanctimonious attitude out of him. Some self-aggrandising do-gooder pretending to understand me wasn't going to stop me.
Sounds about right. Seriously man there was a update a while back and the moment i had to dial down the intense hope it of it making killing bosses optional. There`s a lot of bosses that deserved better then they got, and killing the beat in particular still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
@@Catangerinehere I am responding one year late to a comment 2 years ago, but treat is used as a metaphor there. Unless your comment was a joke to that regard.
The Hand taught two people two lessons: To his son, what the consequence of not standing up to evil can be (The Hand's death). To the Rider, that good men should stand up against evil, like you can with the Star.
Being the first Guardian to actually feel like close quarters combat for the entirety of it, this fight was SO enjoyable. Even though I first tried him, his fight was the most intense, continually, and also most satisfying and enjoyable. What a great game.
The Hand, The Burst, and The Edge are my three favorite bosses from this game, and The Song offers my favorite ending (so far). I still have yet to defeat The Star...
Well, HE is the one that captured you, and put you in chains, so The Chain could shock you to death OVER and OVER again. If that isn't an arch-nemesis then idk what is lol, but it was still a very enjoyable fight, at least until The Hand went crazy at the end of the fight, then I just finished it cause it wasn't fun anymore.
The final rampage was my favorite part. He was desperate and fought for what he thought would give him strength. That was his final attempt to kill you, and he slows down in fatigue as you continually deflect or evade his attacks.
This boss was satisfying to fight. The rythm i got into was almost systematic. The way he rushed me with the music. I always intentionally hit him with his shield up so i can counter him and get in a takedown.
after playing through this game on furier and modding my beatsaber I noticed a severe lack of furi songs in there despite them being absolute bangers I wish this one was in the custom song list.
0:00 - 1:35 Such peace. Such calm. I could get used to this... 1:35 - 2:55 I guess I can't. I can't just be, can I? No. No I guess not... 2:55 - 6:44 MURDER EVERYTHING
Haha can totally imagine a video with just the Hand in his last phase and the two letters "R1,R1,R1,R1...No stamina...R1" keeps popping out with each attack
This is really when the game all fell into place for me. The Chain I was thinking he was so cruel, surely these must have been my former fellows and they have usurped me but need me alive for something. The Strap they told me showed up out of nowhere and was like me, so maybe I was an outsider they sought to exploit just like her? The Line believed I was resisting destiny, so they definitely did need me for something important? The Scale blamed me for what happened to him, so they were using him against me but had I caused some sort of accident? The Hand claimed to have originally subdued me, so they had spared me. And yet... they were disgusted by me. This noble, selfless, duty-bound man was willing to sacrifice so much just to send me back to prison. Saw me and saw only anathema, emptiness, evil. It made him sick, but he still refused to kill me. Now I really needed to know just what the hell was going on here.
iirc 2:55 is played a lot during the fight (it reboots that part of the track) and thats what made the music memorable to me. i dont like this music to listen to but during the fight I believe it is sensitive to what is happening right? Then it is amazing
this fight was the third of my wins in a row without losing all 3 lives. at the last phase, I had all 3 lives, and beat the regular segment decently easily. Then came close combat. My parrying game is on point, but the attacks progressively slowing threw me off rhythm twice, putting me at 1 life. Then I got put off rhythm again, but got sorta back on rhythm, and just barely survived the last attack with a close dodge. I would have died to any attack with my surviving HP. Peak stress levels I tell you.
This guy for the time you arrive to him in the game its too easy. Its the only boss ive beaten first try on both my first run and furier. I really like the fight though. Especially the nice hints abouth him getting desperate (dropping the shield, his ultra combo)
Really? I found him to be the level where I had to force myself to learn dodging. Then I found out you could cancel his ranged attacks with a charged blast and he became a joke.
the coolness level of this battle was not befitting of its lack of difficulty. I loved every part of it except the fact that it was so easy compared to that green fuck
"I look at you stranger, AND I SEE NOTHING. DEATH. DESOLATION. YOU ARE ALONE . I AM FIGHTING FOR SOMETHING MUCH GREATER THAN THIS. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE STRENGTH THAT GIVES ME?"
Man I just got the Definitive Edition for 6$, beat the game today and set the theme. Holy shit it's so epic. Both the art and the music. 6$ well spent.
TheCompleteMental Little late but yeah these games are definitely comparable, I thought DS3 was not too bad at all especially since there are ways of cheesing most hard bosses. This game was way quicker though-you didn't have to waste time on loading screens and little enemies getting to the boss.
I know other bosses were more difficult than The Hand, but just because of its buildup, the emotional impact of the character, the setting, his design, the way it kinda felt like a duel between equals (not the only boss that did that, but this one did it really well), the fact that this was the point in the game where you realize that YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE THE BAD GUY, as well as THIS FUCKING MUSIC, it's by far my favourite boss in the game.
I played Furier after Hotline Miami 1 & 2 and the first thing i said was something like "Oh Great Another Dodge and Rage game well lets buy new keyboards"
On my first playthrough, right at the end of the fight, I saw how after that massive combo his attacks became slower and slower... He was exhausted, he knew he stood no chance of winning, but he kept fighting anyways...
In the end, he really never gave up. He couldn't.

+antoine olol can i just say that the edge was probably the second hardest boss other than the final mothership one. my god i lost so many times against The Edge
+MLP_Reaper Yeah, if your Blocking/Parry game wasn't on point, your ass was destroyed. Now if it was on point, he becomes one of the shortest boss bottles.
+David Borrell That's so true.
+Malcolm Fitzpatrick Yea!
Architect: "You'll be next, Hand."
Hand: "Indeed I will."
Song: "No. You've done your part. Go, be with your son. Take your leave."
Hand: "It is precisely because of my son that I cannot leave. I must do everything in my power to keep the world safe for him."
Architect: "And are you prepared for the eventuality that you'll leave your child without a father?"
Hand: "I am. Were you?"
DAAAAAAAAAMN!
Someone call an ambulance cause that's one sick burn!
This could damn well be canon.
Have to ask, I thought the hand didn’t actually want to stay, I thought he was forced to?
@@NormalRapt0r he wanted to stay because he knew they were counting on him, for him, his destiny has to protect everyone
The Chain fell to a man who had escaped his own shackles.
The Strap died finally free from bodily restraint but too lost to see it.
A Line without time was stopped when his fortune abruptly changed direction.
The Scale was tipped out of his own favour.
The Hand gave up the strong grip on his shield out of desperation.
The Song failed to lull her enemy into giving up.
The Burst was out-lasted against a sustained attack.
The Edge, upon meeting his rival, could never have been sharp enough.
The Beat could only flee when faced with her enemy's drums of war.
In the end, when it was only one sombre Voice against his own fleet, the Rider proved only he held the reins to his destiny, and outshined the Star.
What about the Flame?
This is beautiful, did you write this poem yourself? If not where is it from?

"You can't win. You have nothing to fight for, nothing to protect..."

Deamons64 I fight for my friends- oh wait you give me no way to make friends!
Fighting for bunny boi
The funny thing is in reality, the stakes for The Stranger are just as big as they are for The Hand.
"I brought you to your knee once already, and i will do so again!"
i loved his close combat final phase, the simplicity of just made it badass af
The build up this battle is so epic. Like actually got hype for this battle. Felt like I was about to fight an overlord.
Swaysome Bruh you feel me! xD
But in the end all you where fighting was a desperate father trying to save everything he loves…
You can't win stranger. You have nothing to protect.
Nothing to fight for.
Even before buying the game, i kind of knew what was going on. We were inside of a *prison*, not a cage, not an slave cellar, we were not a good guy. But even when i knew the Stranger was not the hero, i kind of expected him to not be THAT bad.
But, in the last guardian battle, when The Beat is practically crying and screaming for help, asking you to not scape, thats when i got the real perception of what kind of ~treat~ the Stranger was, and oh dear god, that Free World scene, with everything dying around our feet, was so fucking satisfying, and, at the same time, so terrifying, it felt horrible. I made my choice even before talking to The Star, i was going to get my redemption.
But, this boss, The Hand, made me feel the same as when i watch any Undyne the undying boss battle: I wanted him to win, even when i gave my best, i wanted HIM to win, for he was the real hero.
God, the scene with The Beat like tore me up. It came out so suddenly, and I got fucking Sif flashbacks. Honestly, that was the moment that I was absolutely sold on this game's narrative. It was so fucking good, fuck.
I'm sorry for pointing this out but forgetting the H in threat gives that sentence an entirely different meaning haha
@@quincycarra9107 Please..... Hold my hand....
Yeah that was cruel, but I had to do it, I had to finally leave.
And yet when fighting the hand, all I really wanted to do was slap that sanctimonious attitude out of him. Some self-aggrandising do-gooder pretending to understand me wasn't going to stop me.
Sounds about right.
Seriously man there was a update a while back and the moment i had to dial down the intense hope it of it making killing bosses optional.
There`s a lot of bosses that deserved better then they got, and killing the beat in particular still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
@@Catangerinehere I am responding one year late to a comment 2 years ago, but treat is used as a metaphor there. Unless your comment was a joke to that regard.
The Hand taught two people two lessons: To his son, what the consequence of not standing up to evil can be (The Hand's death). To the Rider, that good men should stand up against evil, like you can with the Star.
We built all of this, we prepared, invested so much!
I always get chills when he tosses away his shield as 5:23 starts playing. You can really sense his desperation to defeat you escalating.
We built all this. We've prepared, and invested soo much
Being the first Guardian to actually feel like close quarters combat for the entirety of it, this fight was SO enjoyable. Even though I first tried him, his fight was the most intense, continually, and also most satisfying and enjoyable. What a great game.
Best boss battle so far, loving the soundtrack!
momo12364 Two words; The Burst
@@VanpyroGaming0Two words; You're mine
Go back, while you still can.
Because you wont stop listening to this.
Cuz too late
This game makes me dream on how big the new sci-fi Souls could achieve to be.
xdan Sci-fi souls??
are you talking about the surge? because that's basically scifi souls
Dazh there were rumors a while ago that the next game hed be making would be a sci fi game with souls mechanics, but theres no supporting evidence
BUUUT....souls has upgrades and this doesnt. and thats why this is better. i hate rpg elements / upgrades lol
Well fuck rumors.
Sekiro looks amazing tho, I shouldn't complain.
"I will never give up, Stranger. The stakes are too high."
The Hand, The Burst, and The Edge are my three favorite bosses from this game, and The Song offers my favorite ending (so far). I still have yet to defeat The Star...
You can do it, my man! Once you beat her the first time, it will be a breeze
This song is definitely made for an "Arch-Nemesis" boss fight.
Well, HE is the one that captured you, and put you in chains, so The Chain could shock you to death OVER and OVER again. If that isn't an arch-nemesis then idk what is lol, but it was still a very enjoyable fight, at least until The Hand went crazy at the end of the fight, then I just finished it cause it wasn't fun anymore.
The final rampage was my favorite part. He was desperate and fought for what he thought would give him strength. That was his final attempt to kill you, and he slows down in fatigue as you continually deflect or evade his attacks.
I don't even know what was happening back then but the fucking build up in the song as you slowly walk to the arena was making the hype.
This boss was satisfying to fight. The rythm i got into was almost systematic. The way he rushed me with the music. I always intentionally hit him with his shield up so i can counter him and get in a takedown.
Go back.
Wrong boss?.. or does he say it too?
While you still can
You Don't Deserve A Computer she was a good girl. 😈
You cant win. You are alone
Artorias i can
If they had told me this was the Final Boss theme...
I would had believed it.
Damn, Carpenter Brut sure knows how to make things look / sound dramatic and EPIC!
after playing through this game on furier and modding my beatsaber I noticed a severe lack of furi songs in there despite them being absolute bangers I wish this one was in the custom song list.
0:00 - 1:35 Such peace. Such calm. I could get used to this...
1:35 - 2:55 I guess I can't. I can't just be, can I? No. No I guess not...
2:55 - 6:44 MURDER EVERYTHING
Is more of an scary feeling when you arrive there
1:35 that's when you start to learn he put you in your cage.
2:53 "Ha, you're like a filthy casual, WATCH THIS"
*R1*
vide0gameCaster R1?
Ah, I knew I've heard this somewhere before, Scythe dude!
Haha can totally imagine a video with just the Hand in his last phase and the two letters "R1,R1,R1,R1...No stamina...R1" keeps popping out with each attack
*GETS PARRIED* (point down emote)
*dies* (Sends salty message)
vide0gameCaster HAHAHA Yeah dude!
Another epic movie soundtrack by the Lord.
Awesome game Even better soundtrack
no
+TSZARIFBUJ ye
2:55 boss fight music
This fight hurt me the most... I really didn't want to finish him.
This is really when the game all fell into place for me.
The Chain I was thinking he was so cruel, surely these must have been my former fellows and they have usurped me but need me alive for something.
The Strap they told me showed up out of nowhere and was like me, so maybe I was an outsider they sought to exploit just like her?
The Line believed I was resisting destiny, so they definitely did need me for something important?
The Scale blamed me for what happened to him, so they were using him against me but had I caused some sort of accident?
The Hand claimed to have originally subdued me, so they had spared me. And yet... they were disgusted by me. This noble, selfless, duty-bound man was willing to sacrifice so much just to send me back to prison. Saw me and saw only anathema, emptiness, evil. It made him sick, but he still refused to kill me. Now I really needed to know just what the hell was going on here.
Just beat this guy. Just wanted to say this game is a masterpiece and the music here is god like. I'm so glad I decided to give this game a shot.
Man I wish the part from 4:10 to 4:40 was longer. Its way too good to be only 30 seconds long
5:23 Oh hell yes!
very nice
10/10 would listen again
Its tje worst part
Eargasim
Here comes the best part of all songs in earth
the first OST in this game is a small part of this one, which is pretty cool
also 5:23 so gooooooooood
also carpenter brut
It's cool that a musician for Hotline Miami had a HAND in making this game's soundtrack
Yung really likes Carpenter Brut.
Gotta agree with 'em.
Who doesn't?
That part around 5:24 though
Very dramatic and epic.
My favourite part. It's the reasons i searched this song up on TH-cam
I'm a simple Frenchman : I see "Carpenter Brut", I instantly like.
“For my son....For all of us! I’ll bring you back!!”
Never thought I'd live to see the day that medieval and synth get mixed together.
iirc 2:55 is played a lot during the fight (it reboots that part of the track) and thats what made the music memorable to me. i dont like this music to listen to but during the fight I believe it is sensitive to what is happening right? Then it is amazing
4:40 to 5:20
Good God
My favorite part too. However from 4:40 to 6:07. When he tries hard to kill you.
"I've brought you to your knees once already, and I'll do so again".
This song is fantastic, the build up is fucking amazingly done.
2:47
"You have come very far, warrior. Lay down your weapons, walk away, and no harm will be done"
*unsheathes katana without a single word*
2:56
Hey, you. You finally found the music Indiemaus used in the Laxasia boss fight.
I don't know this game, but I love Carpenter Brut.
”You’re denying your thirst! *NOW ITS TIME:* _to feast_ ”
*”BREAK IT OUT-”*
Of all of the bosses in Furi, The Hand was the fight that made me saddest.
this fight was the third of my wins in a row without losing all 3 lives. at the last phase, I had all 3 lives, and beat the regular segment decently easily. Then came close combat. My parrying game is on point, but the attacks progressively slowing threw me off rhythm twice, putting me at 1 life. Then I got put off rhythm again, but got sorta back on rhythm, and just barely survived the last attack with a close dodge. I would have died to any attack with my surviving HP. Peak stress levels I tell you.
"For my son, for all of us, I'm bringing you back"
This guy for the time you arrive to him in the game its too easy. Its the only boss ive beaten first try on both my first run and furier. I really like the fight though. Especially the nice hints abouth him getting desperate (dropping the shield, his ultra combo)
Probably its meant to be a little weak as the voice said he captured you with hundreds of men..
Basileus s i dont know why i found him the hardest
he's easy if you can parry but if you cant he's essentially a brick wall
Really? I found him to be the level where I had to force myself to learn dodging.
Then I found out you could cancel his ranged attacks with a charged blast and he became a joke.
Josh Burton he actually can but the qte becomes longer
the coolness level of this battle was not befitting of its lack of difficulty. I loved every part of it except the fact that it was so easy compared to that green fuck
josbird I thought The Scale was Easier than The Hand but that's just me.
and the old dude. fuck that guy
Fuck them all to be honest. If your parry game isn't on point on this one, you're fucked.
I don’t know about you but I SLAYED green guy and this guy really gave me a challenge so idk
I was stuck on the strap for like 2 hours
"I look at you stranger, AND I SEE NOTHING. DEATH. DESOLATION. YOU ARE ALONE . I AM FIGHTING FOR SOMETHING MUCH GREATER THAN THIS. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE STRENGTH THAT GIVES ME?"
Every time he says “you’re no match for me, give up while you can.” He turns into a text to speech program.
Christ this song set at 1.5 freaking explodes with intimidation fast :0
Carpenter Brut are just too good.
*is, it's just one dude
Thanks. Assumption was based on the live show in Paris, hope he releases that as an album.
If your assumption is because he tours with a drummer and guitarist, well, i heard he did solo but got bored.
"Death is inevitable but with great strength we can even over come death itself"
He said we had nothing to fight for.
Perhaps he's right.
At first.
Who else has the FURI background theme for their PS4 and listens to the first 3 minutes of this song every time you boot it up?
Wait the background plays what you fight for?
@@thepop7989 it plays the intro of what we fight for. Which, in the game is what you hear while your walking up to the arena.
Man I just got the Definitive Edition for 6$, beat the game today and set the theme. Holy shit it's so epic. Both the art and the music. 6$ well spent.
Tout simplement merveilleux, syntwawe intersidéral 😇😍🥰😳
This fucker wrote some dope music. Damn such awesome music.
This guys last health bar not gonna lie terrifying

pfft no one gives a shhiiiiitttt, you can beat a game, congrats
TheCompleteMental really :V

Little late but yeah these games are definitely comparable, I thought DS3 was not too bad at all especially since there are ways of cheesing most hard bosses. This game was way quicker though-you didn't have to waste time on loading screens and little enemies getting to the boss.
ds3 is harder than furi
but furier is harder than ds3
Imagine how much better Dark Souls game would be , if they only add a BOSS ONLY DLC ... game would be massively better.
I let a lizard listen to this and...
He became the CEO of Facebook.
he is watchin ya, care human.
Your data is safe with me, human.
He's our overlord
3:24 always gets me
"Wait, this isn't Carpenter Brut, right? It's too slow for Carpenter- HOLY FUCKING SHIT."
5:23 is a banger
6:23
I’ve found it!
Vade (TH-camr) used this part for the outro of Over the Void (Undertale comic dub). Also, I like the song!
This is so EPIC, the final... Destiny could have such a track!
I know other bosses were more difficult than The Hand, but just because of its buildup, the emotional impact of the character, the setting, his design, the way it kinda felt like a duel between equals (not the only boss that did that, but this one did it really well), the fact that this was the point in the game where you realize that YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE THE BAD GUY, as well as THIS FUCKING MUSIC, it's by far my favourite boss in the game.
I wonder how the path would have diverged, had the Rider been able to speak.
DukeOnkled Nothing else would have changed. He came there to be free and knew well what was going on.
