Two characters died and three were brought back to life, this episode was a true roller coaster
Who all died?
@@brockhazelton5944 Jester and Caleb.
Jester has been a cleric wishing to also deal damage in big boss fights and she ends up landing the killing blow on the ultimate boss.
I saw the spoiler but even still when she did it, I was floored
@@hypergreedgaming9590 Yes! But let me tell you, Caleb was MVP.
@@Lauren-zx3gx oh yea absolutely
Also to add what she said during that tarot reading "Facing you is death"
As Matthew Mercer once said to Laura, "how wonderfully poetic".
What if I told you that marine layer and thing ring of fire resistance came in clutch... and that was the least shocking thing that happened in this episode lol.
Somehow... you’d still be wrong, believe it or not.
Travis’ setup game is something else
Can we talk about how much of a thorn in Lucien's side fucking Caleb was? Between his protection from aberrations, mirror image, imagination attacks, Mindblank immunities, successful mental pleas to Mollymauk, and his brilliant move to teleport Jester to Caduceus after she fell was super clutch. He was the MVP in my mind.
Not to mention Fjord just railing on the Somnovem from behind the veil of marine layer. Solid work.
all while saving his spell slots to teleport if necessary
I was at work listening trying not to cry as they failed to bring Molly back, then tried to immediately not burst into tears at the success and of "Wherever it is. Just put it back." and what followed. God its been such a ride to this point, and Taliesin saving his own character with a Divine Intervention is the most Illuminati Taliesin thing.
There are a bit more stories to tell with the mighty nien. Here's to hoping the ride isnt over yet
@@jammedtuba7820 Yeah. My running theory is no matter who else does what, Cad retires back with his family now that the grove is safe and Molly takes his spot back in the Nein. Can't see Taliesin playing 2 characters next campaign, although it isn't because its beyond his talents.
@@Therepublicanarmy see I'm hoping the exact opposite. I'm praying Taliesin plays both of his characters. The group dynamic will be hilarious and wonderful
@@jammedtuba7820 I know he’s an eldritch being, but even he can’t run two characters with two different accents for a full campaign.
I remember when Talisman stated after he rolled his Divine Intervention, "Tell me what this means." I really thought he was stating that in character because that was very similar to his other Divine Interventions. :)
You know its dire when Essek is forced to bloody *walk*
That timing with the music on Marisha's two Nat 20's was professional. Watching these videos has been a treat this campaign - I'm ready to be destroyed by whatever you do for the finale, and even more ready for what you do for the next campaign.
much love
I hope Tal playes that Warlock he was saying he has prepared. I want to see Tal playing a true Warlock with some proper Warlock interractions. That's the only thing we have a slight inkling of.
@@High-LordHarza He makes a Great Old One Warlock and his patron is Taliesin Jaffe.
@Nellachell I couldn't agree with this statement more!
I got fucking stressed when Jester and Caleb went down.
My head canon for the final guiding bolt is that Artagan finally manages to break through whatever Cognouza is doing to block him and amps up Jesters damage (through Caduceus' path to the grave) and it looks VERY much like the DBZ Gohan/Goku Father-Son Kamehameha.
Yes!!! Exactly this!!! Jester, aided finally by Artagan, launch guiding bolt together!
I will now embrace this head canon
You just made me cry! I thought I was finally done crying from this episode but here I go again lol
Thank you for this beautiful imagery
I accept this head canon. Well said.
I also love how for a lot of the battle it was the holy warriors together with Jester and Caduceus being Clerics and Fjord being a Paladin.
Fjord protecting them both within the Marine Layer, and his Ring helping Jester against fire damage... I just can't even.
@@diamaf
Quite possibly 2 of the biggest regrets of Travis turned out to be pretty big
For me, I was quite amazed at how composed Travis seems to be when Jester went down. It's like I saw a glimpse of how Travis would handle disastrous situation.
He's the Captain who's had to make some tough calls this campaign... I have to salute Travis's game during that moment.
@1:21 As much as they made fun of Marine Layer and how it didn't always work, it came in *clutch* this fight, it kept the low HP clerics safe and it kept Veth up as well. I love it.
If the final episode isn’t titled The Mighty Nine we riot
This.
"Long may he reign" That's pretty good too imo
@@StunnyBruh it was this episode's title
Right there with you
It would be very fitting honestly
Each of the characters interacting with Molly slayed me Nico and I am in tears all over again. Well done, very well done.
I cried while making it ;-;
Ya know what...they laugh but Marine Layer was THE clucth play from Fjord in this entire fight
Jester getting the HDYWTDT against her teafling brethren is so poetic
Especially since she did the tarot card reading for Lucien and the last card was death/rebirth.
@@cmrobbins88 "Death is facing you".
Teifling solidarity
7:11 This was one of my favorite moments of the entire campaign: Marisha losing her shit with the double Natty 20's after wrapping her hands with the belt.
Then again, Marisha losing her shit in general is pretty awesome. :D
I like to think Jester's final Guiding Bolt gave Molly advantage on killing Lucien.
It's my head canon that when Lucien tears at himself at the end it was the piece of Molly still there, fighting back to defend his friends
Interesting, I read it entirely differently. It felt to me like a spiteful act, denying them the chance to restore Molly by tearing his body in two.
I read the same. Mollymauk was there.
Fjord/Travis casting Marine Layer was possibly the most clutch move of the entire campaign. Sure there have been other great N20s and luck rolls. But this was just great strategy.
He glimpsed the future and made plans
When they finish Legend of Vox Machina, I will be so f**king excited for Legend of the Mighty Nein
Mighty Nein is just like Final Fantasy story. If you make new Final Fantasy with them inside, I'd buy! The story, the arc, the loss, the gains, felt so relatable. No wonder, since it is their second campaign. The struggle to defeat is there and that makes it even intense.
Vox Machina felt more like Avengers, i suppose? Each of them becomes a God-Tier Powerful Beings. One round from one of them could produce over 100 damage. Imagine they use a Grave Cleric on Vox Machina, probably a 200-300ish in one single attack? and that is both by Taliesin's character himself.
The music, the cues, the clips, the editing.. *chef's kiss*
*Edit* THE FLASHBACKS! NICO!😢😭
The "you love her, you're killing her" line breaks me every single time I see it
Sam literally feeding off the life force of the trolling Matt did with Jester’s revivify… Does this confirm his a vampire!?
Energy vampire
Feel like this final battle was better than Vox Machina finally defeating Vecna (even though that was a badass final battle). It felt personal. Plus, it was anime as Hell!
Vecna is a shitstorm. Vox Machina visibly unable to defeat it without the help of the stabby thing (damn i forgot the name) and locked him with the book. Their sole purpose of defeating Vecna is to stop BBEG.
Lucien, on the other hand, is a personal vendetta. Your friend, whom you failed to save, comes to haunt you failure (Literally!) to being the BBEG of Mighty Nein. It feels so personal to each, so that each character fights this BBEG with personal powers. The end with Jester's Final Blow is one to be recognized too, as before, she read Lucien with the Tarot Card, with the Death card facing him, and the silver dragon, facing her.
If that is not poetic, Final Fantasy-like ending, i don't know what else to name these.
In some regards, I'd agree. I absolutely adore the mechanics that went into both fights, storywise it had a great connection, and of course I'm a sucker for Cosmic Horror JRPG Final Bosses.
But man, the fight with Vecna had such insane moments. Basically everything involving Scanlan was a treat.
And M9 beat Lucien with friendship!
@@teflontono8755 Man, this whole fight was a fucking roller-coaster. This whole campaign, even.
Vecna was just another bad guy for Vox Machina. For Mighty Nein? It’s personal with Lucien.
Man, when Jester died, my heart stopped. The only thing going through my head was "This is how they lose. This is how the fight turns. TPK inbound."
I wish I could work for someone who loves their work as much as Marisha does.
That "The company deserves to see this!" was great.
3:40 is the moment in the episode when you realized, Matt isn't fucking around. He came to play.
Cried watching it live, ready to cry again ✨
I screamed "MERCER" no less than a dozen times that episode
I know it's not in here, but Essek going feral - even if his attack didn't take - was just yes to me. How far he'd come and willing to be for the first real friends he's ever had, and using Fortune's Favour to physically pull Caleb when he could maybe just lift the building up with a spell... And Jester dying and being Revivified and landing the final blow... And so many many points I want to cram here.
Thank you for this edit, and for all your previous works. I'm gonna watch your 2nd video now!
Alright, am I the only one or when Jester died did anyone also wanna see Travis have Fjord go all beast mode and start going all out on Lucien? i mean it probably would've negated everything marine layer did in this fight which would've killed more people which is bad, but a raging half orc warlock paladin would've been dope to see.
But he is a Captain warlock paladin. He knows better not to rage at the loss of his significant other. If any, he would heal them and fight the killer together. But that is just my opinion though. He possibly actually raging inside, but he ain't Grog lol.
Caleb and Caduceus came in so clutch!!!!
This really captures* how the battle felt to watch live
I stressed cooked cinnamon scrolls the day this episode came out and cried while doing it. This was beautiful Nico 💕
Laura deserves to pick what ever character she wants to this time around
Im so hoping Laura goes fighter or barbarian in campaign 3 as the poor woman has been saddled with honestly two subpar builds in terms of her play style these last two campaigns and its so clear she wants to put numbers on the board. Beast master archer ranger is known as the worst build in 5e and Trickster Cleric while having some cool utility isnt a combat focused class (combine that to her being religated to a healer most of the time).
Plot twist: Instead of the people who steal her class multi-classing as paladins, this time she just starts as a paladin.
@@TheSilverPhoenix100 "worst build" more like "heavy roleplay opportunity because they want to play what they want to play"
I watched the end of this and said, "Yeah... there's no topping that. It's the right place to end." And then we got one more episode lasting almost 8 hours. XD But... those eight hours just wrapped up loose ends. Thematically, this ending was FANTASTIC: the Mighty Nein became the Mighty Nine, Taliesin got to come full circle with his characters, Jester got to be the DPS who got the kill, (something she always wanted), and everyone managed to live. Yeah... I can't wait for Campaign 3 to start...
... where everyone chooses to be a Cleric! :D
Just kidding. I think.
Marine Layer ended up being the most important bit of magic played on the battlefield.
Jester : “Remember the tarot pull Lucian? Before you is death!”
Guiding bolt to the face
Hands down your best highlight video, yes the cast did the acting and roleplaying, but you made a WONDERFUL edit out of it, taking clips from years ago, along with well timed music and moments. sobbing again, like I did a couple days ago.
if jester said ''This was my destiny forged'' in reference to the first time her and molly talked I would've cried
i have thrills all over, but man.... Travis joking about how Marine Layer was going to "save them all" and..... like..... then it did
No, Travis knew it would come in clutch
Like, I don’t even freaking watch CR. I can’t get into how long they are, but I absolutely sobbed when watching this. How did you do that? Phenomenal. Absolutely fantastic. Bravo.
I didnt even think the long pause was from them hoping that molly would come back omg that final edit hit so hard my hearttt
Listen here Nico, you once again have made me cry from one of these Highlight videos
Been waiting for this video all day. Keep up the good work!
Thank you
A very final fantasy-esque final battle, and simply beautiful. Intense, dramatic, and a rollercoaster of madness. Awesome. As fantastic as campaign 2 has been, I am now looking forward to campaign 3.
Whatever of Molly that was still there helping from within Lucien was so badass. Everybody cross their fingers with me that we get a "Legend of the Mighty Nein" too, someday.
This aged like a fine wine, my friend.
WE’RE GETTING IT NEXT!!
I didn't keep up with the season (they play when I'm asleep) but I HAD to see this final fight. MY GOD this fight was worth it
There better be a at least a 10min animated fight of this or I'mma start swinging...
The memory montage at the end this video was fantastic. Thank you.
I'm coming back to this vid, and to qoute every critter since...when Jester killed Lucien. All I could remember in that moment was the tarot card reading, and Jester reading Lucien's future..."and facing you is Death.."
The most beautiful and satisfying end
Jester's concentration as the majestic bellhead winds back and thwacks Lucien -- I lost it! Thank you Nico:) this destroyed my emotions all over again but I was ready for it!
Oh my god....
I've watched the Vecna fight highlight reel a hundred times, and I didn't even watch Campaign 1.
Literally 1 minute in and my eyes are misting.
Long may the Nein reign.
I honestly didn't think I could cry anymore after the finale. But here I am... Balling like a baby again. Thank you for this edit. It truly is wonderful and the flashbacks to earlier times with Molly... I can't. ❤️😭
Honestly can't thank you enough for doing these, it's been so much easier to share this amazing story with other people! Thank you so much.
I was hoping to see the epic tower throw and Caleb's death/revivify here too. Those were such huge moments! Still, this is a great edit, thanks for making it!
I still can not comprehend just how good CR is at creating such an epic climax.
The editing, the music, the entire highlight is awesome. Love the flashbacks.
OK OK...I'm going to actually *try* to form my thoughts into coherent words (it's already failing, I've had to edit this sentence 5 times).
...this upload is perfect, Nico. From Caduceus's inspirational speech to the battle - filled with all the moments that made us cry, broken up with lighthearted moments (because that was needed that night, thank goodness for Travis) - TO THAT ENDING WITH THE FLASHBACKS. Definitely was not expecting that and I literally teared up. it flowed so well. And the music - the music is always perfect. The ending broke me but in the best of ways. This video includes all the amazing moments we all were screaming at, both excitedly and sadly, in your discord that night.
Thank you so much for this upload. It's absolutely beautiful.
Thank you Andrea
One of your best, Nico. Thank you very much.
Marine Layer was actually god tier.
Amazing edit I'm gonna remember this episode forever. Your video is going to be a good way to relive the best moments.
These videos are never poorly edited. Well done, Nico. You made this moment even better.
The ending music combined with Matt's excellent narration of Lucien's death gave me chills.
Never have I clicked on a video faster
This video is absolutely amazing! Had me in tears all over again.
I spent this episode dying with laughter and stress over the battle. It was Perfection.
I am going to be coming back to this video over and over again in the aftermath of this campaign. Thank you, Nico!
This was beautiful Nico!! Absolutely climactic
NOTHING would make me happier than to be able to get my band of murder hobos THIS invested in our game
This is beautifully edited, nico!!!! God I was such a mess this episode, what a rollercoaster
This was beautiful! I’ve been looking forward to this c:
o7
I salute you, Mighty Nine.
Thank you thank you a thousand times thank you. I have a really really hard time paying attention to the combat sections of the show so I usually miss things. This helps me understand everything that happened. I know this was a lot of work and I appreciate every bit of it.
You’re growing stronger every episode, you’re power level is rising . Great work !
As a famous ranger once said: "GO FOR THE EYES BOO, GO FOR THE EYES".
Bless your amazing work
i just recently started watching live (rebroadcasts, because timezone) but holy shit this episode was a lot. The ending was so emotional and it convinced me to watch every episode live
I have watched this a dozen times and the goose bumps keep coming
Thank you Nico, you framed our heroes perfectly
Great edit, perfect 💛
Idk if you meant to do that but if you did hats off to you for putting the clip of Molly kissing Caleb on the forehead. Especially since Caleb even references that memory when saying his final goodbye to Molly
Amazing! Epic! I felt like I was watching a movie! Thank you so much for this! *Chef's kiss*
The way this was edited had me in tears wtf
very well done and very entertaining. I'd come back to watch more of what happens after the break :)
The end was the saddest thing I will ever see but also one of the greatest moment that well ever exist
Thank you for this just thank you
Maaaaaan...those last 2 minutes killed me in the best way possible. Respect 🙌
Critical Role was what gotten me into DnD & I'm glad that I was able to be there at the end of it. The Untold Tales Of The Mighty Nein might come upon us, but more stories are yet to come.
Great video Nico!
And then, following the break was the wildest emotional roller coaster of my life.
Great video, as always, Nico. Happy Finale Day!
the final montage :")) this is perfectt
Wonderfully done, but I'm pretty sure Caleb also died in this fight and was revivified after the break. Neither of these was included in the two recaps.
This is a year late, but something compiling all the times the nein quoted Molly at Lucien, or otherwise did something to make him remember his time as mollymauk would be amazing. I have searched and, surprisingly, nothing seems to exist of the sort.
Phenomenal compilation
All throughout this episode I kept crying. It just felt so powerful.
Man this actually got me to tears 😭
Love Ashleys oh shit face with the Zuala thing.
I'm going to miss their story once it's over. But what a final battle. And what a fitting tribute. Thank you.
