@@SselluosS Hahaha XD well I hope you can revisit the game someday and do the "real" final boss to get the ending. To be fair, Grigori is the best boss from the game so that's alright ^^
@@radpunk5144 IDC. Be helpful and provide an answer or shut the fuck up. Nobody asked for your smartass lecture. And certainly nobody asked for a system so complicated on a game to where you can't tell if you're in NG+ or not. You could have actually been a good person and helped instead of going for the "I'm better than you" sarcastic quips.
the ending in new game plus in offline mode was an amazing experience. I got chills seeing my previous Arisen saying that line with my main pawn next to her "I shall meet you on your own terms, joined by my companion of old"
That and the fact that the current Seneschal removes the Godsbane from his/her heart makes me think that stabbing himself may not have ended the cycle as the Arisen may have wanted...
@@eduardo0379 They are technically two different items, but it serves mainly as the game's final riddle. I'm pretty sure the developers didn't think the item would be used so frequently by players either, so it really wasn't hard to figure out what to do if you were doing it all throughout the Everfall. It's shown in the load message that it ends the cycle for that particular world.
The DD1 story setup feels way stronger than DD2, specifically the dragon sequence and everything after that, saving maybe the Unmoored world from an visual standpoint. The sequence here gives me chills every time. And Grigori is treated with far more respect.
The final boss (Seneschal) sucks, it’s bad but the concept itself is cool, I was thinking how the final boos would go and the last part could be where you fight all boss in the game, as ın to be above everything you need to be able to kill everything to have the power to create
@@GiygasTheUnbound I would agree with you if this were any other game, but this is Dragon's Dogma. The final moments of the game aren't meant to be like the rest of the entire game has been. Even once you beat the "final boss", the game puts up a facade that you're supposed to actually wander the seneschal's Chambers forever. Even when you try to ask your pawn for advice, they even tell you that your role is stay there forever and always. What most gamers don't understand is that this "final boss" wasn't meant to be like any other boss, hence all the cinematic cuts that surround this fight. No other major boss fight in this game invokes the narrative this heavily, other than Grigori, and even then Grigori's fight does interrupt the fight as much as the final fight does.
John Galt I'd just like to point out that using great gamble on Rangers makes it possible to 1 shot pretty much every boss in the game, provided you have enough stamina as that's what the damage scales with
@@GiygasTheUnbound It was because it's not about strength or power. He is a god and can't be killed or defeated. He is just testing if you have the will to sustain the world as the next Seneschal.
its really sad how from the beginning of the game until the end, you fight and travel alongside your pawn, they stand by your side no matter what you do, loyal to the end and by the moment you pierced yourself with the godsbane, the two of you are free and the pawn is finally given life in the form of their master's body in the end, the pawn looks towards the ocean on your direction, as if they're giving their farewell towards you, their own master, as your journey has finally ended and as the pawn is set free
I think the pawn did not want freedom, but always wanted to be with the master, and in the beginning it is clear that the pawn does not know what to do, nor how to behave. Is it worth mentioning who she really is? and in the end decides to continue the life of the master as he would have lived it, and after this matter was done, reunite in the Seneschal's hall.
Tbf DD2 was never gonna be able to top the reveal of the final boss being the guy (Savan) you played in the prologue. Thus completing the cycle. Then the reveal of the NG+ final boss (offline) when expecting it to be Savan but then it turns out to be previous you. It was just chiefs kiss.
This games story is so under appreciated, the true ending on your first playthrough is so rad. Like call me a pussy or whatever but when it's revealed Savan is the seneschal and you realize he's been stuck there for thousands of years because of all the other Arisens failing, it made me pause a bit lol.
The ending with Quina was my first one, and also my favorite. She realizes at once that the person at the beach is not the Arisen, but she feels her beloved's presence somehow. This game is beautiful.
This has got to be one of the most underrated games of all time. Make a sequel... PLEASE MAKE A SEQUEL. Edit: Dragon's Dogma 2 was recently announced but they stated it only recently entered development. We are still going to wait sometime for an official release 😭 Edit 2: I've already preordered it 😊
I don't get why they don't make one. This sold nearly as good as dark souls, which was considered a huge sucess and got a sequel right away. Capcom is really stupid, dragons dogma 2 with panta rhei engine and a pc version would kick the shit out of games like dragon age.
@@NathanDiegoiam Not really, at the end of the game the cycle is really broken. In the end, the Arisen not only gave his pawn a life of truth, he also released the world from the cycle, so that life is not maintained by the designs of a god, the dragon or the Arisen, but by the will of all living beings, that way the world can finally move forward. Obviously the fact that there is no seneschal means that someday the world will end, but that makes the decisions and actions of everyone have more meaning and importance, everyone can choose their path, for better or worse . The fight against your old characters is a gameplay mechanic, which only happens if you play offline. If you start a new game, you will repeat exactly the same events, both Arisen come from the same town, they have the same life, without any change in the narrative. That's why it does not make sense what you say. It is known that Savan (the final boss and the seneschal) came from a city and wanted to avenge his father who was killed by the dragon the day he was chosen as Arisen, he has a story of his own. the new character you create the second time does not, it has exactly the same story as the first Arisen you created and that does not make any sense. the fact that the Steward has removed the sword from his chest does not prove anything, it is simply where the sword resides.
@@nicholas_eras It is said that the will of our Arisen was greater than that of previous arisens, so he/she simply breaks the cycle, even knowing that this will cause the destruction of the world in some future, breaking the cycle implies that things will have an end .
I don't normally tear up over games, but this? Just the fact that your character can't recall who they really are and that they are free really gets to me. Thanks for uploading, I was looking all over for the ending.
Arisen: oh my god, I've defeated the final boss and I'm stuck in an endless dark void. I'm nothing but a ghost in the real world. Is there anything here in the void?! Only thing in the void: Wolves hunt in packs arisen! Arisen: NOPE! *Stabs self*
Dragon's dogma was one of the best surprise package I ever got the chance to play in my life until now. It's a diamond in the rough, with both surprisingly enjoyable mechanics and a story far deeper than what you expect at first glance. Truly, one of the best RPGs out there.
"You are close now,so very close to me" bam reveal your previous character and he says "I shall meet you on your own terms,joined by my own companions of old" as he summons your previous pawn. That shit is powerful
When they got Godsbane and equipped it, I was like cool, I read the options, "Pierce" I wonder what they're gonna do with that. I just about ROFL when the stab themselves with it, and the Pawn is like MASTER!
Yes bro.. plus it had the dark arisen DLC and it was just perfect… might buy a ps3 soon and put my old harddisk on it, and continue with my true old arisen
This was actually such a badass moment, I remember that badass at the games introduction, I thought the dragon had beaten him and his pawns, so badass.
Years later this ending still sticks with me. Its bittersweet. You give your life so the cycle stops but doing so gives your pawn the life they deserved.
This seems like the worst possible ending, when this happened to me I felt like all the fun was sapped away, nothing to strive for, no grinding for levels so you can win a fight by the skin of your teeth, no heart pounding boss battles. Being God sucks
There's a theory that by committing suicide, you truly become the Seneschal. Savan talked a lot about how the world needed one, and he did pull the Godsbane Blade out of his chest. It had to get there somehow. Furthermore, it's "true freedom" description didn't say it was immediate. As in, the Arisen Seneschal may need someone *else* to use it upon them to get their so-called "true freedom," just as Savan did. Plus, Savan clearly holds the cycle in disdain, and not fearing death, likely would have sought to end it if he thought it was possible.
This is exactly true. I also wondered if stabbing yourself merely casts off your physical form to fully embrace the power and role of Seneshal. That also means you can't break the cycle, which is pretty bad.
Nah, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure Savan pulling out the sword was there for dramatic purposes. I'm sure we broke the cycle... At least for that particular world. Capcom can create dark stories, but they aren't known for being cynical. Edit: few errors in my grammar.
*"Mourn me not, for I welcome the release, at long last I am free of eternaity, of infinity, free of the cruel, unending ring!"* those words had me in tears, because I could sense his greatfulness of being set free, I say this was beautiful and well done, and when I fought my first two characters i was very surprised..
If they actually made a 2nd Dragon's Dogma, it could rival many good games, I feel that it is much better than Skyrim (I've played more than 400-500 hours of it), as the challenge and general interactions are much more polished.
Skyrim suffers from bland design all around, which why I'd never recommend the vanilla game, just look for mods and tailor the experience to your liking.
I still remember when I started the game I kept thinking "Wow, great gameplay, but the story is so contrived and basic it hurts." Then out of nowhere it slaps you in the face with this genius, metaphysical "this world is just a simulation, the people (NPCs) don't have free will, only the arisen (the player) does, and the world resets every time a new seneschal takes the throne (every time you start a new game, the cycle resets)." shit. Straight up knocked me on my ass. 10/10 I like to think that if you stop playing the game after breaking the cycle, the implication is that the NPCs finally gain free will and are no longer shackled to play their roles in the cycle.
If you die during this fight you turn into The Dragon. Which means Grigori was an Arisen who lost against Savan. That makes the line “This pain, the same pain I have inflicted before!” During the Grigori fight mean so much more.
So fun fact about my experience with this boss. On my 5th or 6th play through I get to the final boss and it is one of my previous characters. Was slightly confused but figured that given the nature of this boss it was logical that this could happen. Very next play through. Final boss is my character from the last one. And now I am thinking, “What are the odds of that?” Yes I was online.
Revelation: The past Seneschald is wrong, the world is not a infinite loop, only from his perspective does it seem so, rather, its a spiral, that from the top perspective seems like a circle, but is actually simply doing the same thing over and over again, but WITH a beginning and ending. Where do I base this off? The Ur Dragon is said to be "the first" dragon. he cannot be "the first" if the world is a infinite loop without a beginning or ending. for him to be the first, there had to be a start to the cycle.
jefthereaper while(true) {system.out.println("World"); it starts as one them repeats and again and again and again and again. . . . . etc. a loop that starts but always repeats.
I know im very late, (been ages since i played this last,) but if u do new game+ and get to the end (the hallway before facing the boss) stabbing urself make you turn into the ur dragon
What always got me about this is the fact that this is all a cycle without a beginning or end. A "god" arises, fulfills his duty for as long as his sanity can withstand being an eternal spectator to the world, and then initiates the next link in the great chain. None of the participants has a choice in the matter, not even the "god" that oversees the cycle. Your character just happened to be the poor schmuck with enough willpower to fulfill the conditions necessary to become "god" this time.
Man, I forgot how awesome the ending to DD1 was. Beating the Dragon, surviving the Everfall and in the end becoming ruler of the world through a fight with the OG Arisen and his pawns that you actually played with in the prologue of the game. Then just to find out it’s all meaningless and choose to kill yourself. The game simply won’t end until you do. And the cycle ends, with your loyal pawn living a happy life. Sooooo good. So many twists and truths revealed. Meanwhile DD2, we only ever see the dragon at the end (don’t even get his name) and we never fight the pathfinder he just dies in a cutscene. Hell, they didn’t even unmask him he was literally just some nobody. We deserved a fight with the pathfinder, we needed to know who he was, we needed so much more. That’s only talking about story. Let’s not talk about DD1 having a proper endgame even ignoring Dark Arisen.
Incredibly moving ending, probably one of the best endings of all time (if the story wasent so massively unfinished). I'v never seen any game juggle breaking the fourth wall as much as DD did at the end. The way it integrated a gameplay feature so prominently into the story all the way to the end is just awesome (pawn's)
When I beat this game in new game plus I had expected the same arisen and pawn to fight you. My jaw hit the floor when I saw that it was my previous arisen and main pawn that I had to fight instead. So bad ass
@@The_Devil_Breaker yeah too bad it’s not that great but I’m still a loyal fan, been playing it since it first came out and waited and waited for the second one
Dragon's Dogma takes place after the Usurpation of Fire ending in DSIII. The very first Seneschal is the Ashen One. Becoming the new Seneschal is linking the usurped Fire. Boom, crossover.
i love how every time you fight God its a new pawn showing that ANY arisen in the world can become god, also i love how every single time you knock them down and kill them, they are just sitting on the throne TOYING with you, i want to say they are holding back, if they can create life and holy blasts from barely a thought i want to say they are just playing with you, testing you to see if you can inherit this new world as the keeper
A moment of silence for my first playthrough, i didnt know i had godsbane in my inventory soo i thought the game ended with you watching everyone forever. And when i figured it out it was already too late because i had done a new game.
I love the part where the pawn looks at the camera, nods and says "Damn.. so that's the true meaning of Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC as well as PS5 and XS"
On your first playthrough, yes. If you finish the game subsequent times, the end boss will be another random arisen. Just to be clear here, you will not fight online against an human opponent, the game will just load the stats of another player and use that as your last boss. In the end you will still fight against the computer. And of course, if you play offline your opponent will not be another random arisen, it will be yourself as you last faced the Seneschal
@@matheusalvarenga7820 Lol yeah right. That's not fun in any way. But you know what I did? Farmed killed Death until I reached level 200. Way more fun than just throwing throwblasts the entire game.
@@StardustCrusader18 i was talking about the dlc dude at least the easiest way to get early levels in bbi is using throwblasts at first, then killing death multiple times
using the godsbane on yourself before using it on the final boss has got to be one of the most dickish things you can do in this game. like, really? you off yourself when you only need to stab me now?
i know it's been awhile but I still play this game a lot. I love it. Is everybody ready for the movie? Yup! that's right! They're going to make a movie of this game.
I ve met this game on my old ps3 searching for a good free game,this one caught my attention by the name and graphics,my first thoughts were: "is this a demo? I would love to pay for this game, just look at all details!" I was scared to defeat the dragon (Gregori) because i felt it was too hard, but it was easy, man, i l tell you, the end made me cry a lot, because i *allways* cry when there s two people or should i say, *best friends* that seperate or one sacrifices for his best friend, where these two have been through a looot of things together and this, this ending, made me cry, even more when it was about a month or more of killing griffins,cyclops,chimeras,drakes,gazers,eliminators,etc. man i have no words for this game, it was an impact when the main pawn sacrificed his/her self to make arisen( you) live. Also, the fact that my main pawn said "No!..." when i used godsbane made it even sadder, even through my pawn was wearing a eliminators mask. *i m crying right now* F for the gamers out there that cried with me
I tried to make this fight last longer. but something weird happened. I know to kill him your pawn or you must grab him, than the other person hits him. but here's what happened. I killed his pawn. my pawn hit him once with a bolt and his health went to zero. he grabbed him. that hit him on his own which finished him off. wtf happened.
DD2 story was too rushed. All the character build ups were gone to nothing. And the ending was so poorly written. So here I am, back to this masterpiece ending again...

As in, the Arisen Seneschal may need someone *else* to use it upon them to get their so-called "true freedom," just as Savan did. Plus, Savan clearly holds the cycle in disdain, and not fearing death, likely would have sought to end it if he thought it was possible.
This is exactly true. I also wondered if stabbing yourself merely casts off your physical form to fully embrace the power and role of Seneshal. That also means you can't break the cycle, which is pretty bad.
Nah, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure Savan pulling out the sword was there for dramatic purposes. I'm sure we broke the cycle... At least for that particular world.
Capcom can create dark stories, but they aren't known for being cynical.
Edit: few errors in my grammar.
@@unknownguy8687 Cynical? Interesting perspective.
I think it’s true bc u meet your old character in ng+
*"Mourn me not, for I welcome the release, at long last I am free of eternaity, of infinity, free of the cruel, unending ring!"*
those words had me in tears, because I could sense his greatfulness of being set free, I say this was beautiful and well done, and when I fought my first two characters i was very surprised..
If they actually made a 2nd Dragon's Dogma, it could rival many good games, I feel that it is much better than Skyrim (I've played more than 400-500 hours of it), as the challenge and general interactions are much more polished.
It's fantastic!
Stop talking right fucking now
Cry more triggered fanboy
I spent a lot of time in skyrim, but this game... this game its just wonderful.
Skyrim suffers from bland design all around, which why I'd never recommend the vanilla game, just look for mods and tailor the experience to your liking.
23:37 this moment always make me cry
I still remember when I started the game I kept thinking "Wow, great gameplay, but the story is so contrived and basic it hurts."
Then out of nowhere it slaps you in the face with this genius, metaphysical "this world is just a simulation, the people (NPCs) don't have free will, only the arisen (the player) does, and the world resets every time a new seneschal takes the throne (every time you start a new game, the cycle resets)." shit. Straight up knocked me on my ass. 10/10
I like to think that if you stop playing the game after breaking the cycle, the implication is that the NPCs finally gain free will and are no longer shackled to play their roles in the cycle.
"Mourn me not, for I welcome the release.
At long last, I am free of eternity... Of infinity...
Free of the cruel, unending ring"
If you die during this fight you turn into The Dragon.
Which means Grigori was an Arisen who lost against Savan.
That makes the line “This pain, the same pain I have inflicted before!” During the Grigori fight mean so much more.
A lot of the dragon's dialogue has a secondary meaning if you've played through the game at least once, makes NG+ a bit more interesting
"I'll not waste time on Rhetoric. Defeat me and take my place as keeper of this world."
I like the cut of this guy's jib.
He spews his rhetoric during the fight. Good thing too because it's vital you know what's going on.
So fun fact about my experience with this boss.
On my 5th or 6th play through I get to the final boss and it is one of my previous characters. Was slightly confused but figured that given the nature of this boss it was logical that this could happen.
Very next play through. Final boss is my character from the last one. And now I am thinking, “What are the odds of that?”
Yes I was online.
Revelation: The past Seneschald is wrong, the world is not a infinite loop, only from his perspective does it seem so,
rather, its a spiral, that from the top perspective seems like a circle, but is actually simply doing the same thing over and over again, but WITH a beginning and ending.
Where do I base this off?
The Ur Dragon is said to be "the first" dragon.
he cannot be "the first" if the world is a infinite loop without a beginning or ending.
for him to be the first,
there had to be a start to the cycle.
So then the cycle has an end after all.
An infinite loop might have been strait once, and bended into shape at some point.
jefthereaper while(true)
{system.out.println("World");
it starts as one them repeats and again and again and again and again. . . . . etc. a loop that starts but always repeats.
I think that they refer to him as "the first dragon in the world," right? The cycle predates the world.
I know im very late, (been ages since i played this last,) but if u do new game+ and get to the end (the hallway before facing the boss) stabbing urself make you turn into the ur dragon
years later I realized that he used the pawn noel too.
What always got me about this is the fact that this is all a cycle without a beginning or end. A "god" arises, fulfills his duty for as long as his sanity can withstand being an eternal spectator to the world, and then initiates the next link in the great chain. None of the participants has a choice in the matter, not even the "god" that oversees the cycle. Your character just happened to be the poor schmuck with enough willpower to fulfill the conditions necessary to become "god" this time.
17:24 that moment, the way he talk, the words he use are amazing bro....
17:20 im just coming here for this part. I can listin to his words every day
It's truly fantastic
broooooo this part making me cryyyyyyyyy
“I would beg you rest awhile, but just as like you’d turn a deaf ear. Instead I only ask that you keep us in mind, now and again.”
… that shit hits.
7:35 "'Tis a simple choice Arisen" No motherfucker no it ain't
"Step forward or retreat"
Seems pretty simple to me
Man, I forgot how awesome the ending to DD1 was. Beating the Dragon, surviving the Everfall and in the end becoming ruler of the world through a fight with the OG Arisen and his pawns that you actually played with in the prologue of the game. Then just to find out it’s all meaningless and choose to kill yourself. The game simply won’t end until you do. And the cycle ends, with your loyal pawn living a happy life. Sooooo good. So many twists and truths revealed.
Meanwhile DD2, we only ever see the dragon at the end (don’t even get his name) and we never fight the pathfinder he just dies in a cutscene. Hell, they didn’t even unmask him he was literally just some nobody. We deserved a fight with the pathfinder, we needed to know who he was, we needed so much more.
That’s only talking about story. Let’s not talk about DD1 having a proper endgame even ignoring Dark Arisen.
It’s adorable that you ran past everybody, too hard to cut them down, but you still wanted to be a god.
Incredibly moving ending, probably one of the best endings of all time (if the story wasent so massively unfinished). I'v never seen any game juggle breaking the fourth wall as much as DD did at the end. The way it integrated a gameplay feature so prominently into the story all the way to the end is just awesome (pawn's)
3:30 is when epic godly music starts
When I beat this game in new game plus I had expected the same arisen and pawn to fight you. My jaw hit the floor when I saw that it was my previous arisen and main pawn that I had to fight instead. So bad ass
have you ever tried to wait for another arisen to come? i am still waiting in the room 3months 24/7
Are you still waiting
Just A Meme Boi
I think it might take a while.
Lololololol
Are you still waiting?
Are you still waiting?
This song gives me chills and a massive amount of nostalgia it’s so fucking beautiful words cannot express the feeling of ascendancy I get hearing it
I'm so glad we got to live to see DD2
@@The_Devil_Breaker yeah too bad it’s not that great but I’m still a loyal fan, been playing it since it first came out and waited and waited for the second one
Dragon's Dogma takes place after the Usurpation of Fire ending in DSIII. The very first Seneschal is the Ashen One. Becoming the new Seneschal is linking the usurped Fire. Boom, crossover.
I just noticed that in the credits, both Crispen Freeman and Gideon Emerys did the motion cap acting for both the Arisen, Seneschal and Mason.
Top 10 anime reveals
That savan reveal was awesome.
i love how every time you fight God its a new pawn showing that ANY arisen in the world can become god, also i love how every single time you knock them down and kill them, they are just sitting on the throne TOYING with you, i want to say they are holding back, if they can create life and holy blasts from barely a thought i want to say they are just playing with you, testing you to see if you can inherit this new world as the keeper
Surely, the cycle began again.
And surely, the cycle was the same.
I can't fucking wait to play this game again on PC.
9:42 so damn epic
The begining of this OST is sooooo epic
17:25 one story that shows eternity is not so lovely as we think it is
So in the end it doesn't even matter after everything we die
A moment of silence for my first playthrough, i didnt know i had godsbane in my inventory soo i thought the game ended with you watching everyone forever.
And when i figured it out it was already too late because i had done a new game.
Fortunately, a sequel is on the way
Bro the ending had me In tears truly the best rpg😢
GET READY FOR THE SEQUEL
The most impressive thing about Savan is that he beat his dragon with only a broadsword and a normal-looking shield
Oh I got selene
17:20 Fantastic music and great dialogue.
Wow this fate really does suck
Supposed to. Savan said that he wasn't happy as God. You're a slave to the Eternal Ring and you can never be free.
9:49 blew my mind when I played this for the first time.
If you team up with Lucifer, you can destroy the great wheel and end the cycle forever.
demi fiend is an arisen :P
Daimon had countless cycles to do that, he obviously failed as we fellow arisen kept farming his body.
just finished this game and its hella good, but now i need something else to play, do you recommend me Smt Nocturne?
Grant Samson *end the world
Fucking Lucifer himself brought me to this video
So Epic Selection of Fate SONG!
I love the part where the pawn looks at the camera, nods and says "Damn.. so that's the true meaning of Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC as well as PS5 and XS"
is the final boss who u play as in the intro
On your first playthrough, yes. If you finish the game subsequent times, the end boss will be another random arisen. Just to be clear here, you will not fight online against an human opponent, the game will just load the stats of another player and use that as your last boss. In the end you will still fight against the computer.
And of course, if you play offline your opponent will not be another random arisen, it will be yourself as you last faced the Seneschal
I prefer to be offline for the final fight, it's SO much cooler.
Yes
What a great ending.. Beat this game at level 50. Fighter and 31 hours spent.
I just played it on the Nintendo switch version
@@jawless51 I'm still not done. I need to play the dlc too. But I think I'm still underleveled.
@@StardustCrusader18 use throwblasts :P
@@matheusalvarenga7820 Lol yeah right. That's not fun in any way. But you know what I did? Farmed killed Death until I reached level 200. Way more fun than just throwing throwblasts the entire game.
@@StardustCrusader18 i was talking about the dlc dude
at least the easiest way to get early levels in bbi is using throwblasts at first, then killing death multiple times
I like both DD1 & DD2 story
Completely undress your pawn and Arisen, before landing the final blow. He/She'll be undressed in the new game as well. XD
9:42 best chills ever. Until you go to NG+, reach here and you're the unlucky sod who has to fight a joke looking arisen... xD
I didn't know I could use that sword to get the ending I thought u just stayed there forever thank you for the info
using the godsbane on yourself before using it on the final boss has got to be one of the most dickish things you can do in this game. like, really? you off yourself when you only need to stab me now?
That and Liqud Effluvium
in my ending there is Selene the little girl It's amazing how this game has ending changes It's amazing how this game has ending changes
Man, I really can't wait for the sequel, hope we get gameplay soon and hope it's on RE Engine
RE Engine Dragon's Dogma 2 would be godlike
Wow you where spot on. It's gonna be on the re engine
No one gonna talk about the fact that the god is the character we use from the start? Even his pawn is from the start
i know it's been awhile but I still play this game a lot. I love it. Is everybody ready for the movie? Yup! that's right! They're going to make a movie of this game.
Cockratice are harder to beat than this boss
I ve met this game on my old ps3 searching for a good free game,this one caught my attention by the name and graphics,my first thoughts were: "is this a demo? I would love to pay for this game, just look at all details!"
I was scared to defeat the dragon (Gregori) because i felt it was too hard, but it was easy, man, i l tell you, the end made me cry a lot, because i *allways* cry when there s two people or should i say, *best friends* that seperate or one sacrifices for his best friend, where these two have been through a looot of things together and this, this ending, made me cry, even more when it was about a month or more of killing griffins,cyclops,chimeras,drakes,gazers,eliminators,etc. man i have no words for this game, it was an impact when the main pawn sacrificed his/her self to make arisen( you) live.
Also, the fact that my main pawn said "No!..." when i used godsbane made it even sadder, even through my pawn was wearing a eliminators mask.
*i m crying right now*
F for the gamers out there that cried with me
Apparently the seneschal being easy is a bug introduced by the dark arisen expansion
So your pawn becomes the new arisen and your arisen becomes the seneschal
You become a literal God but can’t conjure up something to do, like create books to read or play chess with your pawn.
I think they does , but when new arisen come they will stop and acting as final boss ( just joking) 😂😂
I tried to make this fight last longer. but something weird happened. I know to kill him your pawn or you must grab him, than the other person hits him. but here's what happened. I killed his pawn. my pawn hit him once with a bolt and his health went to zero. he grabbed him. that hit him on his own which finished him off. wtf happened.
The only game i played where you become the literal final boss😂lol... And damn im lovin it... Love fighting myself as a boss
The sequel is coming
You became God. Quest complete. You killed yourself. Quest complete. No other franchise can top that! 😂
Fantastic final boss, in my opinion.
That surprised the crap out of me and I thought it was soooooo freaken awesome to see my old character as a god and actually talking :D
I would hate being invisible and phasing through people and not be able to go where u want and no talking 😩😩😩
DD2 story was too rushed. All the character build ups were gone to nothing. And the ending was so poorly written.
So here I am, back to this masterpiece ending again...
Here hoping Hideaki Itsuno is working on D'sD 2 after DMC5 and RE:MAKE 2
Its pretty much confirmed by him. He was given a choice, dmc5 or dd2. He chose dmc5 and now that its done dd2 should be his next project
You have to wonder what model they used for the placeholder of this boss, and if it’s even still in the game for us to fight
