We found a crazy strategy to beat this challenge | Darkest Dungeon 2

- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- This video follows the journey of our "Deathless" run of Darkest Dungeon 2. Our aim was to beat all five acts in chronological order, without ever losing a run, starting from a completely fresh profile. This run was done shortly after the full release, back when the Act 3 Boss was extremely busted and before it got reworked to be a bit more fair.

I'm so looking forward for any future DLC...
Welp, was on act 4, the game don't work anymore probably the save is lost... Bad game lol
I cant wait until they add collector and/or the new original mini boss, then the hunter will be the hunted
Now you have to do it again with stygian blaze!!
Reynauld my beloved I await your return
@@alexhopwood8340a drop of hope and a dream
As a person who only has beaten the first act after 51 attempts this makes me reconsider and change my plans abit.
Don't worry, you're not expected to do well on your first attempts! There's a lot to unlock and so many mistakes to make before you begin to understand all the enemies, areas, bosses... ❤
@@notOtzdarva moments like this where big internet guy interacts with his community in such a wholesome manner solidify you as my all-time favorite content creator
Seething Sigh Felled
The next run will be accomplished....
2 Deaths at MT Boss
1 Mini Boss Cleared
lol really?
is this even possible? 51 tries for act 1 seems impossible to me
The little bounty hunter saying "I want one chicken nugget" at 26:42 is the best. Our little cute guy just demands a little tribute :)
what little bounty hunter, i cant find em xd
He's the guy with the spiked hat during the timestamp, the text appears above his head
Redhook loved that Suppress strategy so much they made it hit the whole party now :>
Your fault, congrats!
Thicc pls do solo leper run
The final message of this game really was "The real darkest dungeon was inside us all along"
How can something be so cheesy yet so cool
As cheesy as it is, it's also kinda true. Self-care is important y'all. ❤
Sometimes simple sincerity triumphs over words we have heard again and again. This game tells you and convinces you that the pain in your soul is more often caused by yourself and you have to get past it. It isn't necessarily cheesy because it works hard to drive that message home and it doesn't feel like cheap words from a stupid cat poster.
I mean... people are capable of both the greatest of good, and the worst evils. Just a cooler way of saying it.
“We make mountains of our mistakes and monsters of our misdeeds, and yet in each of us a hopeful light holding fast against the hellish shadows that gather between our good intentions” thats real af
Bit cheesy, but nothing is as horrible as the pain we put ourselves through, for our mistakes.
That's a rough one.
Given the characters in this game went through more stuff than most of us xD
Otz is incredible as a storyteller and entertainer, video has me glued from the intro. 😊
Thank you!
Ah,so this is why I saw Otz's status as playing DD2 a little bit ago. Was getting the last bits of footage I presume! Super excited to see this nightmare.
Yes! - LuciMax also saved me a bunch of time by recording some extra footage for the Act 3 fight. ❤
these were the most exciting streams i’ve watched in a long time
i second that
I would love to see the full VOD of the final run released, maybe in little chapter-based episodes!
Also, I *loved* the explanation for the Chapter 3 boss, that was an ingenious strategy!
Thank you, I think I'm going to upload the whole thing tomorrow!
Me too, I was wondering when Otz was going to post more about this game and it’s full release. 😙💯❤️
@@notOtzdarvaLooking forward to it!!👏🏽💯
@@notOtzdarva If you've uploaded the full VOD, where is it cause I am blinder than a bat. Thanks.

Otz: "This is absolutely hopeless..."
Otz resolve is tested...
There Can Be No Hope In This Hell...No Hope At All!
God i love this game so much, its one hell of a trip gameplay, theme, visual and everyother way wise but what speaks to me then most is the ending
We are flawed as that is what it means to be human and there will be some amongst us that stray far from the path of goodness and seek to plunge the world into darkness but all the same as long as we move forward with hope and courage to face those evils we will always prevail.
Or you know im overthinking shit but all the same i like the idea of it
I'd never seen an ending so hype as this game's, holy god Otz, I applaud at you and all chat for joining in such adventure
its such a cute thing to see whole chat goes "go Otz go" on final boss fight. great job cheering, my dudes!
This was a pleasure to watch on stream. UA-cam only folks are in for a treat
YOU POSTED THE VIDEO, AND I CAAME! >.
This game is an emotional roller coaster, while I didn’t do a challenge on your scale of starting a new profile, I did do the grand slam achievement with the “Rot Squad” team, which has no stress healers.
It initially started off as a meme as I felt like running my main blight back line of Plague doctor, grave robber and flaggelant, but on a whim playing denial I decided to change out MAA for Leper.
To say that this journey was just that is an understatement, depending on enough laudanum to have my party fighting in a drunken stupor half the time along with the ever present threat of any simple resistance encounter turning into a fight for my life if the Pale lady decides to say hello.
But through copious amounts of luck and support I managed to discover uses for a lot of combat items, skills that I never use, and trinkets that seemed niche. Eventually culminating in my final battle being a success, beating the grand slam with no stress healers.
was waiting for your DD2 vid again for so long, thanks for the update
I love it when Otz theorycrafts.
Love how this video transmits all the emotions you were going through in that moment! Such a good produced piece of content. You never fail to surprise me Otz
Gahhhh the secondhand anxiety was strong in this one!! Great job and awesome video, gamer!
DD2 Deathless! So anyway I start the run murdering 3 party members... :P Kidding Otz love your content super impressive, seeing the joy you had while playing this game on stream made me so happy
This was amazing ngl! I reeeally wannna see it full un-cut ❤
The editing was great btw, good job as always!
I absolutely love the editing of it all, it's clearly made with a lot of love and effort. Greay vid!
Amazing run to watch live. Love all the content you produce!
I have to say again, I am loving the design of everything in this game. That is incredible. I could never guess what the next boss was going to look like and it was always wonderful.
I remember being there for this stream and hanging on the edge of my seat every moment of it! And i still cant get over just how *amazing* the act 5 boss is- not just from a gaming perspective, but from a narrative perspective too! His attack using the hero's backstories against them is so unique and probably my favourite part of the entire fight.
All the work you were doing on the animation for the new plan payed off. These streams were some of my favorite you've done, I can't wait for more DLC.
6:45 That signalis song 10 out of 10
Did he play it on stream at some point?
@@generalhunter3393 He did, but idk where I can find the VOD
I understand very little about this game but I was able to keep up thanks to your storytelling/descriptions. I’ve come to understand the game better and I got sucked into the video! It was a great game and you did very well! Good job Otz and the cheerleaders in chat too ❤
Great editing. Thank you for the effort.
I absolutely loved this game, and also loved the streams. Thanks for bringing me into darkest dungeon otz
Just started watching otz's darkest dungeon videos yesturday. and he uploads a new one for the first time in a while. Thanks Otz!
I had been looking forward to more dd2 content from u otz and it does not dissapoint! Keep it coming!
Never heard of this game until now, just downloaded the first game. Great vid Otz.
I always get excited when Otz uploads a video of him playing another game starting suspiciously with the letter D, but seriously I absolutely love seeing more Darkest dungeon content and I’m thinking about getting this game lately 💙
I'm so happy you enjoy this game too! It's one of my favorites at this moment. It can get so tense
Awesome adventure, and (For me) the icing in the cake was the Vagrant OST playing in the background at times.
Ive been watching so much dd2 content lately it's crazy that this video came out when it did
Otz, im hoping to see the full game uncut please. Would love to see it
It's several hours long, but I might consider uploading if many of you want to see that as well!
@@notOtzdarvai would love to yeah
@@notOtzdarvai watched your whole re4 remake video in just a few days i would love to see a full version of this
@@notOtzdarva how can you upload 19hours long or 11hours long playthrough of Resident Evil and not be sure if we will watch Darkest Dungen2 :d
@@notOtzdarva Yes, please! I was in the middle of watching the twitch VOD but then it expired and I could never finish.
cant say how happy I am to see more vids from you about this game, always brings me back to your dark souls days hope youll consider to play armored core 6 and/or remnant 2 also, would love to see you play both. Seeing you play souls likes or very difficult games is always very special, some kind of nostalgia for me because of your old vids I guess, the (no hit and no death runs) love your videos otz .
Happy to have been chosen as the hellion in the first attempt of act 2! One of the most entertaining and relaxing streams I watched in a while ❤
Been waiting for this video!
Holy hell good job dude! This was nuts I never thought you could beat the game fresh like that.
I wish Otz saw the stream, he loves the game
I just love these narrated videos of you. They have me more invested than any blockbuster movie in the past 10 years
I really wish I could watch the entire VOD if this. I love when you play games like this I rewatch your mortal shell play through all the time.
watching thi slive was some of the most stressful viewing ever! so fun to watch again
Thank you Otz some how you stream and post the best vids and the perfect games I’m glad you still post darkest dungeon vids. Thank you
The timing on this video is great, I just beat denial for the first time myself yesterday!
It's not often I watch an hour long video in one go, but man this one had me glued to my seat!
I can’t believe I missed this in my feed! I love Otz’s DD vids
I had a run with a trinket that converts all dodge tokens to crit tokens.
Put it on my graverobber and used the buffed consecrations from vestal to ensure she always had crit tokens every turn. Absolutely fantastic combo there.
When a person that can’t beat Act One and looks at this challenge Otz. They would think your high.
Loving that ff8 music that plays when the party is being debriefed during their practical exam being used when explaining “the new plan.”
Otz the goat like always❤
💙
Hope to see more content like this such a good video
Can't wait to play it on console... Whenever it realease
What an adventure, indeed.
GG Otz and Chat!
I would love to see your first ever completion of it, because seeing the ending of this was... honestly beautiful.
This game is fantastic thank you for getting me into this lol.
This WAS my first ever completion, I refused to beat it any other way.
@@notOtzdarva That's amazing, good shit!
I had only played a bit of the first game, so I wasn't really knowledgable about the intriqite aspects of darkest dungeon games, but the video was made in such a way that I had no problems in following through. Nice
The Final Fantasy 8 music at 11:10 is such a great touch!
i’ve been trying to find a weekly comp where you play this and you release a vid on it thank you
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Please release the full uncut run Otz, love your gameplay and your videos :)
I'm at a lost of words this was Amazing
I seriously can't wait to play it for myself when it releases on Console
Loved this video! Might pick up the game meself soon
Love seeing DD2 stuff from you Otz. Any chance of the full vod(s) being released? I loved watching the last one.
I agree, I love watching 8 hour vods
The FF8 music had me so confused lol :D
I love your darkest dungeon vids tho, please keep them coming
been loving the dd2 videos
Man, i haven't actually looked up anything for DD2 since it actually went into early access, so seeing it now basically complete, it's fucking beautiful.
I watched the entire run on stream, but I figured I’d listen to Otz Narrate Otz while Otz streams. Quite dark is this dungeon indeed.
34:07 Just saying that the remix of the Heart Of Darkness boss theme is great!
Whenever I stop playing DD2 you release a banger video and I get back to that hellscape of a game just to lose 4 years of my life due to stress
Seeing oatzy explain his "the new plan" at 11:12~ish reminded me of using float ring against the giant eyeball boss in ff5 t-rex earth dragon in ff6 that if you had float rings equipped would just permanently be stuck in a loop trying to remove float from you but because it is from an accessory, can't be removed thus making the fight really easy,
Or the shield mage exploit in dragon age inquisition, when you pick the magic class( I haven't played inquisition in a while so I don't remember much but I do remember the exploit, you could eventually upgrade to a class that specializes in the mage shield and whenever your magic sword skill hits an enemy it builds your magic shield and so long as the shield is up you cannot take damage so as long as you keep attacking,which is easy as you aren't being stunned out of attacks because of said shield, you never die basically
Or the optional elemental boss dragons in bravely default all their attacks are considered physical for some reason so the ninja class can just constantly activate the dodge one free physical attack buff on themselves while slowly chipping away at the hp of these infuriating bosses and just never get hit
To add to the shield thing from inquisition, it only protects you so using it will most likely get your party killed but you can solo anything using it
Or the strategy in Dark Souls 2 where you can heal to trigger certain bosses into doing the same attack over and over 😂😂
@@notOtzdarva I was curious ,in dd2, is there a way to heavily punish enemies if they have too many positive tokens? I am watching this and am about at the end of body of work phase 2 and that thought came to mind, if the boss likes to steal positive tokens why not let it have all the positive tokens you can generate and then punish it with a characters skill or a trinket that increases damage on enemies by certain amounts the more positive tokens they have that would be awesome
I love your dd2 content otz
The last fight went on for a nail biting gut wrenching 30 minutes and ive worn a hole in the edge of my seat because of it
Thank you otz of the strat it help a lot on the ravenous reach it helped so much that no one died even with a not so good boss trophy (harvest child max hp and reduced death door) update I’ve just beaten the last boss while they where buffed by the mountain with zero hero deaths
Still in the intro to the video, and it's giving me some "Dark Souls II all bosses no hit" vibes.
What with the super commitment/desire to a "perfect run".
16:42 This was stressful for me when I was in the stream. Lol
I used as many noise makers as I could get my hands on and kept taunt on the flagellant to make sure he was the only one with tokens. Then just let his usual unkillability tank the boss while everyone else murdered it. And added some of the blood to the leaper to deal a chunky 1/4 of its health per turn.
Love to see not Otz playing other games
Thank you Otz for not spoiling the bosses
Thank you so much
ah this reminds me of what Shygeta’s been doing, great to see more people doing this style of challenge
I played DD2 because Otz posted a video about it months ago but it's too hard for me 😂 Glad to see Otz completed another challenge
23:02 "Toin Coss" The legend does make mistakes (even if not in dd2). Just poking fun Love the content
Man I love these DD2 videos. Though I personally haven't played it yet, loved DD1 though. Are there any DD1 challenges otz did that are on the channel? Would personally watch those as well.
That was a masterpiece.
Holyy did the game change a ton. I don't remember the candle gacha, upgrading stuff and that second boss at all
LETS GOOOOO MORE DD2 CONTENT!!!! before I watch, are there VOD's of these streams (including the failed attempts possibly with your first reactions to the new acts) that I can watch? I loved your last 9 hour DD2 video and might wanna watch those before watching this video lmao :3
I'm gonna consider uploading them, since you guys are so keen on watching the long format too!
@@notOtzdarva yay!! love to hear it
I'm a bit of a completionist so I replayed the first area till I got the Jester and upgraded him till I had all his skills. Can't remember the names rn but 1 skill puts him in the front of the line with a lot of defensive tokens and lets him use an attack on his next turn that does an insane amount of damage even without buffs. I'm surprised I don't see more builds with it but so far his playstyle of jumping around his allies to attack is fun for me.
It's Otzin' time!
Definitivamente le daré una probada al dd2 con este vídeo quedé con ganas, ya que veo que pruebas variedad te recomiendo el dave the diver ya sea para jugar offline o hacer un vídeo de ello pese que no es nada similar a lo que sueles jugar estoy seguro que te va a encantar, saludos desde Colombia 😁👍🏻
Hey so uh, can we get a video of the full run unedited please? I love those
Never expected to hear Vagrant Story ost anywhere
Monarch Leper was always my go to for act 3, since i could spam intimidate and 9/10 runs he would be the only sighted party member. with monarch path, he had enough health to usually survive the entire fight!
Now that is one hell of a story. On the other hand, I'll be waiting to pick this one up until DLC and significant mods drop...
Massive GG WP to you for this
I JUST beat the game a couple days ago, just in time for this. Honestly it's so incredible, I was scared that the final boss wouldn't live up to the hype of DD1's final boss, but it really delivered and I was sooooo fucking hype to hear DD1's final boss theme make a comeback. And the theming of the boss condemning a hero to death, but instead they're condemned to relive and overcome their trauma, that shit just hits different.
WOHOO MORE DD2
Guy casually releases a hour long video with edits and even tiny funny edits. On his second channel. Like love the content man.
This made me want to get back into DD
I’m really enjoying dd2 right now but I wish some of the boss mechanics were clearer, for example the tangle dungeon boss with his vine mechanics. I had no clue my first run that the vines were tied to the position not the character, resulting in me losing a very good run due to the game not showing it’s mechanics well
