I really love the first 24 hours of comments on these videos, you're all such wonderful people... I'm definitely leaning towards playing it casually first so I can experience everything as intended before trying to break all the fights.
@@Fracture.Gaming Yea play it normally first as i remember later in game bosses throw more and more bullshit your way to counteract your bullshit so knowledge of what happens precisely in a fight before going in on your only life would be smart.
@@xxXXRAPXXxxi think he said on the previously video,he already had hundreds of hours on this game before doing this series.Like,c'mon,u really think this is hes first time playing?
@@Melissanoma it's my favorite part of the video tbh... and it would have been such a mess and taken so long to try and capture the essence of that fight any other way.
32:50 I have had this happen before, if you stack oil barrels, the radius seemly keeps expanding more and more. If you fill a regular chest with oil barrels and explode it, you effectively create a nuke that spreads out your entire render distance.
I believe it's because each barrel contains a certain radius of oil spread, and when you blow up multiple at the same time they don't just stack but spread to take up the total combined amount of space they would have if they were spread out, so more barrels = more spread
mmm I did actually have a barrel in the mix that was full of a massive amount of oil barrels. Like 2x or 3x more than you can see stacked up. You absolutely nailed it on this one I think, that must have done it!
I found this out personally when trying to nuke the black pits shack with the black ring captives and magisters. It barely chunked them and just covered the entirety of the docks and a good portion of the beach in burning oil.
This is the best divinity series I have seen, and man that lohse retribution was so relatable, when you forget some mechanic and it comes back to bite you
I was so upset. I'm glad it turned into something amazing though, the map part is honestly my favorite in the whole video. Alice spins around so much when she attacks, it was fun to make her head spin around on the map & watch her slaughter some magisters...
30:00 If you've not played act 3 or 4, then you are in for a rough time. The fights are much harder and the enemy count is greater as well. Going in blind will be fun for you, but in honor mode i think it's impossible if you intend to play with new creative strategies, as you'll just end up running out of ideas
i am SO impressed at the depths of your cheesing knowledge in this game. i have spent hours perusing the skill trees of every class, and i find some of this stuff just jawdropping. hats off to you, good sir.
A few tips for when you do Act 4: Firstly: Lohse can straight up be perma-removed from the party if you make a selfless decision during her questline and then take too long in a certain fight (You'll know which one I mean when you get there) Secondly: There are intact deathfog barrels outside the city just waiting to find a new home. Thirdly: There's going to be a fight involving LOTS of necrofire; I suggest skipping it. Lastly: tea is good for you.
I'm glad you liked it, I wasn't completely sure what I thought right after finishing it, but I've watched it like 8 times just for fun myself now, which feels weird because I made it. But I really like the alice part.
The Alice part was so funny lmao Regarding the acts 3 and 4, as many have already commented, I too would recommend to play them first casually. They are definitely more difficult than the act 2 fights, but they also have a bunch of unique mechanics and features so you might get some initial ideas of tackling those fights in this challenge run during your regular playthrough!
About oil barrel. Apparently the game have fluid volume coded in or something like that. Basically, there's too much oil that the floor can't hold them so they spread out.
genuinely one of the best and most enjoyable to view playthrough series I've ever seen -- not even exclusive to the realm of Divinity, but in general on youtube.
The fights in act 3 aren't the worst honestly, but there are a few that are pretty difficult if you aren't ready for them. Specifically the ones in the Academy and the three major boss fights that occur outside it. (Of which there are multiple entrances. Also, if your other character's attitudes aren't high enough they may just leave you when entering so make sure you're all good friends.) Since act 3 is very short, you might honestly play through it first normally. Great video though man. Keep it up.
33:01 I think what happened here is that the oil in the barrels you stacked still had to "spread" somewhere after breaking, and since every bit of surface was already occupied by something(a shitload of fire) it just kept going up and up until it found some clean surface to spread to.
Just discovered your channel. Bro, seriously, you are BRILLIANT! Ive done a dozen playthroughs, have 500+ hours, beat the game on hardest difficulty with two members, I'm learning so much here. I love challenges and a new way to play the game.. Thanks for doing this my brother. Your doing the lords work, may god bless you.
As everybody else said, play through the following act(s) normally first. They get significantly harder, and you'll have a bad time in honour mode. I love this series, so I would certainly love for you to have the best time possible and not just getting good content!
Leaning heavily towards playing it normally before playing it for a video. It'd be nice to just control one character with one build... trying to keep track of all 4 characters skills is kind of a nightmare
@@Fracture.Gaming Enlist a friend for co-op! I played through both DOS games (dozens of times) with a buddy, each of us controlling one or two characters and it made the game significantly more enjoyable, for me at least. We still got to run "solo" type builds, hell even Lone Wolf can be active with the two of us running singular characters for whatever reason. It was great!
That's some quality shit, dude. I randomly clicked on the 1st part of the series, and had some stuff to say about editing that I didn't like too much. Now I'm here 2 hours later binge-watching the series and you've improved so much I have no feedback to give anymore. Just... thank you!
I'm so happy to hear it! I'm definitely still figuring out my style and improving, but its nice to know the quality is at least headed in the right direction :)
The blackpit tower fight was one of the encounters that I was really excited for And you didn't disappoint ♥️ There's still some fights to do in act 2 The ryker fight (if you want to do it personally it's a fun but not hard of a fight) There also the mill fight where save the blind elf girl
Oh boy I needed this today! Using the djinn was genius. I don't remember him being that strong. I despised that fight on my first playthrough, because it's such a mess. And obviously Gwydian died but I couldn't be bothered to retry once I won. I also love how you prepared for Alice but she didn't care. That fight is just such a trap. But the combat range gliltch was pretty funny. I wonder if you can easily recreate it. And the endless explosions :D you're breaking the game so badly! The tangerine zoom really had me chuckling.
I think the Djinn scales to your level too, so you could theoretically bring him out in any fight act 2 and beyond. I wonder what other fights might be hilarious to add a Djinn to...
Bro, this content is legitemately amazing. I saw your first episode here a couple months ago, but didn't have time and put it on my watch later list. I've never been more happy to have gone back to watch something. I love your presentation style, and you're editing is great, and all the jokes land! Definitely going to subscribe!
I enjoy the fails more than the successes. That's when things gets really creative. :D The creativity is really what makes this series stand out, so I'd vote for keep going the way you do. But you might find yourself running out of new ideas though. Maybe well placed armor pieces can be an addition for more ideas to break the game rather than just being there to take a hit.
hey man, love the series. i'd personally go with number 2. its only fair to use armor when you dont know whats coming, with the way you go about the playthrough, but most importantly keeep goingggg!!
I really do hope to see the series going so my proposition: 1. Just keep going, naked and afraid BUT a) Turn the difficulty down, so it isn´t as hard b) Turn Honor Mode off, so you won´t lose your savefile (if it is possible) c) Create a backup savefile to fall back to if you die I think this idea is the best of both worlds because we get to see new and interesting episodes, you can continue your series and playthrough while still having the same fun and enthusiasm which shines through your videos without having to worry to lose your savefile and because I think it is best for you to experience the rest of the game this way.
Yesyesyes! I am still looking forward to this. Doesn't matter how long it takes. Your workarounds are so clever. Using the Jinn to your advantage was amazingly clever. And.. devinity just being divinity in terms of ALice's fight just goes hand in hand with all that. Very well edited, great length of "Parts", very entertaining once again. Thank you, that was awesome! - - Regwarding your questing: I'd probably play Act3 normally and then make out a strategy to go in naked, tbh. Being ambushed by stuff that is totally unknown to you only to loose the run would horribly succ. Also, following acts are kinds "ugh", so.. yeah, there's that. Keep up the great work, I love this series!
This was a lot of fun to watch and I hope you keep up with the goofy antiques throughout the rest of the game. Thanks for sharing and Juss Keep On It! 🙏🌎🤙
I REALLY tried to hold off on playing BG3 until launch, but I didn't quite make it lol... I'm still planning to finish the Divinity run, but it'll be a bit probably, unless I manage to maybe finish act 3 before bg3 launches
I'm super excited for BG3 but I need to wait for the PS5 release. It seems like you know how to have a good time with games like this so I'm sure whichever one you put out content on will be fun. I was surprised when you said you hadn't done certain fights in DOS2 or even anything after Act 2 since it seems like you have a pretty comprehensive knowledge of how to beat / break the game so kudos on that. I just recently came across your channel but you've earned another sub 🤙
@@jamesneddermeyer3984 yeah I’m at the beginning of act 4 for the first time! The kraken was cool. I’ve always had a curiosity to find out how games work so I tend to poke and prod at them all over to see how they work. But that’s why Alice killed me, I didn’t know she could debuff my defenses so much and still have AP to cast damage spells. And I picked dagger rogues to go against the advocate, but didn’t know he had that vacuum aura when the fight started.
@@Fracture.Gaming Yeah dude I've done some crazy things in both modern Divinitys but nothing to this caliber. Also, I believe that the oil flashed back further than where you started it because of how Div handles liquids, where it expands existing pools when new liquid is introduced, regardless of height, because I think height is programmed, but not mapped. If that makes sense.
@@MCMaou Oh my gosh you're almost definitely correct. I used rain a bunch of times to make it spread to everywhere and was honestly surprised to not see water up there. Then I turned it all to oil. It must just be hiding...
Another amazing video! for acts 3 and 4, the fights will get really tough if you want to keep using creative strategies, moreover, there will be less and less room for improvisation. Maybe it would be better to do it before if you want to make sure you don't lose your save. A huge GG for killing the giant troll at 10K Hp, I had never thought of this strategy! Love those videos ! Keep going !
This was very interesting and entertaining to watch! I'd be curious to see you play Baldur's Gate 3 (since it's on the same engine as DOS2) and see what fun things you come up with there!
Yeah! I'm planning to wait for the full launch I think, but I'm definitely planning on playing BG3. Possibly in 2 months? I generally don't trust release dates for games though, lol
God I am loving these. I'm so very excited to watch the next video when it comes out. I don't care if it takes a month. I'm just gonna hit that bell to make sure I don't miss it lol
You might be in luck, I'm going to try out a new divinity series that I think will work better in slightly smaller chunks than this series, so I actually have it fully filmed already. I'm a slow editor though...
This remind me of how I completed Tactician mode in Divinity 2 as a 2 lone wolf undead only team, basically it was a cheese galore. Teleporting gloves were my bread and butter for most of it, finding use all the way to the final boss of the game. Man talking about it make my want to try, but I have a feeling I'd be in for a painful ride as I haven't played in years and must be rusty, but at the same time I always wanted to make a 4 summoner(or maybe its conjurer? as I said, haven't played in a long while) party and abuse the hell out of blood demons. The tactician achievement on Steam is probably the only one in my entire catalogue I'm actually proud of.
I’ll probably never get that achievement, I’m addicted to the movement speed increase from the gift bag. I can’t play without it anymore, I just feel so slow
I just did the Blackpit fight with a pal the other day and seeing you just let the Dhjin slaughter everyone was so entertaining to watch xD also props on the song for actually putting it in the video. I am always down for more stupid shit :D Also yes, I highly recommend you finish the game regularly, just because it's so good. My friend and I are having fun with some lighter flavours of cheese, like tossing every single buff spell under the sun on the character in a conversation that initiates the fight, or putting my Archer on the tower in the graveyard where the eagle is so you can shoot down to where the Shadow assassins ambush the Red Prince. It just so happens that your archer will be so far away that it puts you out of combat immideatly after shooting down, so you can just rain down arrows while ignoring initiative
You're a madman doing a blind honour mode playthrough Also the necrofire reverberated back because the oil in the barrels had to go somewhere, so it went to the only free ground-space it could.
Haha yeah there were like 35 more oil barrels sitting in the regular barrel that was right in the center... there were definitely enough oil barrels to spread all over the place
@32:00 I can almost hear Fane's battle cry as he teleports into his suicide mission, "FOR THE CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSE!!!!" Then, after resurrecting himself, "It ain't easy... Bein' cheesy. 😎" haha Absolute banger of a series, my dude. And the video and audio editing is top knotch! Keep up the great work! 🤘
This video was great. As for the choice Im gonna go for nr.1 solely for the reason that, since the fights are going to be harder, I hope it will drive you insane enough so you would do another song!
I would say keep going. Seeing what kind of strategies you come up with, when you have no idea what's going to happen ahead of time, will likely be hilarious.
For Alice I just love doing the soulmate link (don't remember the name) and drinking a big potion with someone who has the food perk. Since she is undead, she just freaking dies xD Love the edit on the Alice fight. That was some carnage. When you break multiple oil barrels with a single ability, depending on the number of barrels, the oil spreads farther. So I believe that since you had so many barrels break at the same time the fire spread all the way back to the Red Prince.
Since I don't know what's coming in the next acts, I wanted to save the soulmate kill just in case I need it later. But Alice is very deserving of that strategy, she's terrifying.
my guess with the oil is that the barrels caused lots of extra oil surfaces to want to spawn, so the game found the next closest available surface, just so happened to be back the way it came haha. Act 3 has some difficult fights, but tbh i always had the most trouble in act 2. with your strats it should be easy
When i thought.... I really thought that you were going to reuse something because there's a limited number of strategies and the game is so big...you go and do the most crazy surprising and amusing to watch thing possible
Thank you for the episode! Totally worth the wait. Ive not been in act 3 either so I have no idea what to expect. I just hope that you continue this series! I don’t mind if you use same or similar tactics there is always a joy to watch if you can figure out aomething creative :)
I think that you knowing how enemies work before continuing this series would allow you to come up with more creative solutions. Play through the game normally first; enjoy yourself. Then, continue the series. Great video.
Ah, Alice Alisceon. The one fight in Reaper's Coast I always leave to the end before going to the next area. Screw her forced first turn. But at least you gave me a great idea for the future, have her fight the Djinn. Let's see those two duke it out. Also, she was definitely pumping up the hatred in this one, god damn. You leashed around half the map, jesus christ. Beautiful as always my friend, glorious. (Plus, I had no idea Totems counted for Thick of the Fight, thanks for that tip I guess. More build ideas popping up now. P.S.: Since you're going into Act 3 as blind as possible, I'd suggest trying it out legit first. At least so you know where the fights are, against who, who goes first, all that stuff. P.P.S.: Here's you musical sub mate, you earned it.
Djinn vs Alice might even be a fair fight? I think the Djinn spawns at your level when you let it out, so as long as you're the same level as Alice, they could have quite a duel. I think I'll play the rest of the game normally first, then come back and finish the series. I'm brainstorming another Divinity video series to work on in the meantime!
@@Fracture.Gaming Yeah, Alice "spawns", for lack of a better word, the same level as when you first see her. Provided you leave her for the very end of Reaper's Coast, as I often do, it would be a pretty amazing fight. Probably the two most OP entities of Reaper Coast duking it out. But considering this, now I'm thinking saving the Djinn for act 3 might be even better for a fight between OP entities. There's a particular fight there, I won't spoil too much, that's just balls to the wall hard. (The enemy spawns 3 levels above you no matter what level you are. And with an entire army following him, no less. It's a damn great fight to beat, specially on True Lone Wolf.) But yeah, do Act 3 leisurely, it's a great act. (I'd say Act 2 is where the game really picks up, but 3 nothing to scoff at.) The fights are amazing, the scenery too... Only real shame is the game's ending, but I give it a pass on how awesome the game is. Edit: Forgot an important distinction... I'm referring to Act 3 thinking of Arx, which theoretically would be Act 4. (Most people do in the community.) Where you're going next is Nameless Isle, which many consider to be rushed, so... Go with that in mind I guess. But it does have some crazy potential for shenanigan fights, I'll say that up front.
Hiiii! Your content is amaaaaziiiing. I think you should play through the game once normally on another file (would love to watch the stream) before continuing with this run, so you'll be better prepared! ^^
I loved watching this video kudos, it was and amazing experience. Regarding act 3 since you obviously seem to have a lot of fun just do what you think you will enjoy the most, that's honestly what I like most about the video your fun.
I expected to see funny content, ridiculous exploits and the many deaths of poor fane. What I didn’t expect was the benny hills style chase by Alice Alisceon across the map and a tribute song to everyone’s favourite bridge businessman. I love this series.
this series is magnificent so far, keep doing you and im sure people will love it. The song was far better than you "hyped" it up to be :))) This game is amazing but i was so caught up in the action and the story that i didn't experiment at this scale. There are certain points in this game .. like hidden gems.. places i got to the unconventional way. maybe showcase some of those things if you encounter situations worth showing. Keep it up.
Haha it's interesting because I'm from a musical family but don't have any singing talent. The problem is that I can hear when singing is bad, so it makes it really easy to be critical of my bad singing voice. I added a little echo and reverb to hide some of the pitch problems. My biggest takeaway was that producing music is hard... I wonder how good the song could have sounded if somebody who knew how to produce music took my raw audio files and messed around with it.
i know i’m so late to this vid but a favourite cheese of mine for the witch fight is to just tp her and use character placement to keep her in combat to eventually rope jahan into it… level 20 and hits like a truck… but this was a fantastic choice given the weird combat tether bug(?)! i love bringing allies into fights they aren’t really supposed to be in, i had the paladins help me with the scarecrows by the witch’s house too
Best game ever! One friend told me that he considers my techniques cheating, but I STRONGLY disagree! It's a role-playing game, so YOU decides what happens, when, and HOW!! I think he just hates that he didn't think of that also ;) The first out of the box thinking started the others, and first time i deviated "of the beaten path",, is attacking with only one character, that you just "bedrolled", to get the buff, and sneak with others one by one, to use free shot with each of them, , i prefer using actions for that first shot that take more than 2 AP, so I don't waste them in combat mode, then i use 2 AP spells and attacks! Going in and out of combat is also a great advantage, I was doing that, but I didn't know the trick with stairs, thanks for that, I'm gonna try it right now!
The Djinn stuff is actually so smart. Impressive That being said, I would absolutely recommend you play through the game normally first to enjoy the experience, and after then you can revisit this challenge
godi love this series. it actually makes me sad that htere are only 2 acts left. and honestly the fails make it at least for me even more funn, since you more ore less gett 2 strategies or more per fight.
love these vids man 🤙🏻 u should prolly play act 3 (and 4) first, not only will u not lose ur save, but u can also test more cheesy strats (and there r still a couple i can think of)
Haha yeah I tried to save a few of the general cheese strats for act 3 since I have no idea what to expect. Then try to customize the wacky fights anywhere I can. But definitely leaning towards playing them normally first!
hahaha the exploding back thing actually broke my save once. The reason it happens is because the oil barrels explode outwards and and have a set number of tiles each barrel has to explode outwards so when stacked they all need to blow up and exploded an unexploded fire tile so for example: 1 barrel blows up 10 tiles so 10 barrels blow up 100 tiles. I did the trick where you put a barrel and an oil barrel in a barrel and repeat and I got around 100ish (might of been more) in each other and when you break the first barrel it pops the oil and stack barrel out that breaks both with another explosion that then brings out the next set and after all the barrels is done you are left in hell. I did this to kill the bridge troll but ended up killing my game with it. It kept expanding all the way out to Alice and to the town near by and ended up crashing my game because half act 2's map was just on fire and the game couldn't handle it. Worst part was it was an honor mode save and I didn't realize one of my characters was dying while I was watching the explosion so the games saved.
Haha that's actually really good to hear. I've received the cringe label a few times in some other videos, so sometimes it feels hard to try something new without it going horribly. I mean I'm still gonna try stuff, its just a bummer when it flops.
It's been fun to watch. You've definitely broken the game multiple times in ways i never would have expected. The only way i think it could have gotten better is if you were able to somehow get all the bosses in one area and then big bomba blast them to hell like you did the harbinger. I do think it'd be funnyif you just continued on cheesing the bosses/enemies one at a time without actually doing a full playthrough. Look forward to your next video, although this one will be a tough one to top. That Alice fight had me mind boggled lol.
lmao maybe in my next video series I'll put all the bosses in the same place, that does sound like fun... Alice, Grog, Harbinger, Scarecrow, Advocate, Djinn, a few higher lvl magisters, Jahan, Hannag, Abomination, maybe leave Marg alone for this one though... Or maybe just do it as a short, standalone video
I love my bridge

32:50 I have had this happen before, if you stack oil barrels, the radius seemly keeps expanding more and more. If you fill a regular chest with oil barrels and explode it, you effectively create a nuke that spreads out your entire render distance.
the game has a spread to its liquids. so it adds up all the liquid to spread then sends it out. thats why the fire line kept going
I believe it's because each barrel contains a certain radius of oil spread, and when you blow up multiple at the same time they don't just stack but spread to take up the total combined amount of space they would have if they were spread out, so more barrels = more spread
mmm I did actually have a barrel in the mix that was full of a massive amount of oil barrels. Like 2x or 3x more than you can see stacked up. You absolutely nailed it on this one I think, that must have done it!
I found this out personally when trying to nuke the black pits shack with the black ring captives and magisters. It barely chunked them and just covered the entirety of the docks and a good portion of the beach in burning oil.
That Djinn ended my very first honor run! Greatly appreciate seeing him being put to good use in yours
I found the lamp so I deserve at least one wish. I wished for my enemies to be slaughtered :)

Great video! I think it's worth going through the third act in a normal way first. Then the strategies will be even more interesting
It'll be a while then, trying to get my friends to start playing again this summer
A few tips for when you do Act 4: Firstly: Lohse can straight up be perma-removed from the party if you make a selfless decision during her questline and then take too long in a certain fight (You'll know which one I mean when you get there) Secondly: There are intact deathfog barrels outside the city just waiting to find a new home.

There are so many more fights in this act than I was able to find in my few playthroughs. Incredible
The Alice part was so funny lmao
Regarding the acts 3 and 4, as many have already commented, I too would recommend to play them first casually. They are definitely more difficult than the act 2 fights, but they also have a bunch of unique mechanics and features so you might get some initial ideas of tackling those fights in this challenge run during your regular playthrough!

The fights in act 3 aren't the worst honestly, but there are a few that are pretty difficult if you aren't ready for them. Specifically the ones in the Academy and the three major boss fights that occur outside it. (Of which there are multiple entrances. Also, if your other character's attitudes aren't high enough they may just leave you when entering so make sure you're all good friends.)
Since act 3 is very short, you might honestly play through it first normally.
Great video though man. Keep it up.
33:01
I think what happened here is that the oil in the barrels you stacked still had to "spread" somewhere after breaking, and since every bit of surface was already occupied by something(a shitload of fire) it just kept going up and up until it found some clean surface to spread to.
Yeah you've gotta be right, and there were like 2x as many oil barrels hidden from sight in that normal barrel
Just discovered your channel. Bro, seriously, you are BRILLIANT! Ive done a dozen playthroughs, have 500+ hours, beat the game on hardest difficulty with two members, I'm learning so much here. I love challenges and a new way to play the game.. Thanks for doing this my brother. Your doing the lords work, may god bless you.
As everybody else said, play through the following act(s) normally first. They get significantly harder, and you'll have a bad time in honour mode.
I love this series, so I would certainly love for you to have the best time possible and not just getting good content!
Leaning heavily towards playing it normally before playing it for a video. It'd be nice to just control one character with one build... trying to keep track of all 4 characters skills is kind of a nightmare
@@Fracture.Gaming Enlist a friend for co-op! I played through both DOS games (dozens of times) with a buddy, each of us controlling one or two characters and it made the game significantly more enjoyable, for me at least. We still got to run "solo" type builds, hell even Lone Wolf can be active with the two of us running singular characters for whatever reason. It was great!
Lonewolf talent will bring your group from 4 to 2 while massively buffing the 2 well past what the 4 could have done
One of the best videos I've seen of DOS2. So fun. Please keep it up. I'd love to see what else you can come up with in act 3
I love this series. Such a fun and unique way to experience this masterpiece of a game again
That's some quality shit, dude.
I randomly clicked on the 1st part of the series, and had some stuff to say about editing that I didn't like too much.
Now I'm here 2 hours later binge-watching the series and you've improved so much I have no feedback to give anymore. Just... thank you!
I'm so happy to hear it! I'm definitely still figuring out my style and improving, but its nice to know the quality is at least headed in the right direction :)
The blackpit tower fight was one of the encounters that I was really excited for
And you didn't disappoint ♥️
There's still some fights to do in act 2
The ryker fight (if you want to do it personally it's a fun but not hard of a fight)
There also the mill fight where save the blind elf girl
Haha glad you liked it. Ryker is still alive in my save file and still a possibility. The mill fight has been cleared though.
Oh boy I needed this today!
Using the djinn was genius. I don't remember him being that strong. I despised that fight on my first playthrough, because it's such a mess.
And obviously Gwydian died but I couldn't be bothered to retry once I won.
I also love how you prepared for Alice but she didn't care. That fight is just such a trap. But the combat range gliltch was pretty funny. I wonder if you can easily recreate it.
And the endless explosions :D you're breaking the game so badly!
The tangerine zoom really had me chuckling.
I think the Djinn scales to your level too, so you could theoretically bring him out in any fight act 2 and beyond. I wonder what other fights might be hilarious to add a Djinn to...
I feel like I've been waiting for this my entire life
You can blame Diablo 4 for this video dropping now instead of 2 weeks ago. Or blame me, that's fine too :D
I'd say a combination of 2 and 3 since act 3 really ramps up the difficulty with some of the fights
Bro, this content is legitemately amazing. I saw your first episode here a couple months ago, but didn't have time and put it on my watch later list. I've never been more happy to have gone back to watch something. I love your presentation style, and you're editing is great, and all the jokes land! Definitely going to subscribe!
I enjoy the fails more than the successes. That's when things gets really creative. :D
The creativity is really what makes this series stand out, so I'd vote for keep going the way you do. But you might find yourself running out of new ideas though. Maybe well placed armor pieces can be an addition for more ideas to break the game rather than just being there to take a hit.
hey man, love the series. i'd personally go with number 2. its only fair to use armor when you dont know whats coming, with the way you go about the playthrough, but most importantly keeep goingggg!!
I really do hope to see the series going so my proposition:
1. Just keep going, naked and afraid
BUT
a) Turn the difficulty down, so it isn´t as hard
b) Turn Honor Mode off, so you won´t lose your savefile (if it is possible)
c) Create a backup savefile to fall back to if you die
I think this idea is the best of both worlds because we get to see new and interesting episodes, you can continue your series and playthrough while still having the same fun and enthusiasm which shines through your videos without having to worry to lose your savefile and because I think it is best for you to experience the rest of the game this way.
I've decided to hold off until I play it normally first, but I'm brainstorming another Divinity video series to work on in the meantime!
Yesyesyes! I am still looking forward to this. Doesn't matter how long it takes. Your workarounds are so clever. Using the Jinn to your advantage was amazingly clever. And.. devinity just being divinity in terms of ALice's fight just goes hand in hand with all that. Very well edited, great length of "Parts", very entertaining once again. Thank you, that was awesome! - - Regwarding your questing: I'd probably play Act3 normally and then make out a strategy to go in naked, tbh. Being ambushed by stuff that is totally unknown to you only to loose the run would horribly succ. Also, following acts are kinds "ugh", so.. yeah, there's that. Keep up the great work, I love this series!
Thanks so much, I'm really glad you like the series!
also, the editing of the segment when she chases you around the map is absolutely brilliant. you 100% have a knack for this.
This was a lot of fun to watch and I hope you keep up with the goofy antiques throughout the rest of the game. Thanks for sharing and Juss Keep On It! 🙏🌎🤙
I REALLY tried to hold off on playing BG3 until launch, but I didn't quite make it lol... I'm still planning to finish the Divinity run, but it'll be a bit probably, unless I manage to maybe finish act 3 before bg3 launches
I'm super excited for BG3 but I need to wait for the PS5 release. It seems like you know how to have a good time with games like this so I'm sure whichever one you put out content on will be fun. I was surprised when you said you hadn't done certain fights in DOS2 or even anything after Act 2 since it seems like you have a pretty comprehensive knowledge of how to beat / break the game so kudos on that. I just recently came across your channel but you've earned another sub 🤙
@@jamesneddermeyer3984 yeah I’m at the beginning of act 4 for the first time! The kraken was cool.
I’ve always had a curiosity to find out how games work so I tend to poke and prod at them all over to see how they work.
But that’s why Alice killed me, I didn’t know she could debuff my defenses so much and still have AP to cast damage spells. And I picked dagger rogues to go against the advocate, but didn’t know he had that vacuum aura when the fight started.
That Alice edit was hilarious. I loved the spinning to the music lol.
She spins around so much when she attacks.... I had to give her some map spins too :)
Bro I was just wondering when the next ep. was gonna come out. Keep up the good work~
Will do, glad you're enjoying these :)
@@Fracture.Gaming Yeah dude I've done some crazy things in both modern Divinitys but nothing to this caliber. Also, I believe that the oil flashed back further than where you started it because of how Div handles liquids, where it expands existing pools when new liquid is introduced, regardless of height, because I think height is programmed, but not mapped. If that makes sense.
@@MCMaou Oh my gosh you're almost definitely correct. I used rain a bunch of times to make it spread to everywhere and was honestly surprised to not see water up there. Then I turned it all to oil. It must just be hiding...
Another amazing video! for acts 3 and 4, the fights will get really tough if you want to keep using creative strategies, moreover, there will be less and less room for improvisation. Maybe it would be better to do it before if you want to make sure you don't lose your save. A huge GG for killing the giant troll at 10K Hp, I had never thought of this strategy! Love those videos ! Keep going !
Thanks a bunch, glad you like the series!!
Your videos are seriously some of the most entertaining divinity 2 content i've ever seen
Most creative video i've seen in a while, just very good and i especially loved your performance in the end, keep it up
Thanks so much, glad you liked it!
This is the greatest series I've ever witnessed... and the song is wonderful... I love you bro please keep youtubing
Thanks so much :) I'm working hard at it, would be amazing to go full time someday. I enjoy it a lot.
This was very interesting and entertaining to watch! I'd be curious to see you play Baldur's Gate 3 (since it's on the same engine as DOS2) and see what fun things you come up with there!
Yeah! I'm planning to wait for the full launch I think, but I'm definitely planning on playing BG3. Possibly in 2 months? I generally don't trust release dates for games though, lol
I like your personality and editing style Fracture. Thanks for uploading, you've gotten another subscribble. :)
Thanks so much :) Plus I barely know what I'm doing so maybe I'll get even better...
I just started playing this again this week and it looks like you are having a lot of fun.
It’s just such a great game! I will admit that I’ve boarded the BG3 hype train though. I really tried to hold off… I got pretty close, good enough!
Divinity 2: Naked and Afraid
Deffo the most interesting series i've seen in ages and your reactions to Act 3's BS will be very amusing
One of my favorite youtube series ever, so excited to see a new video
I'm really glad you like it :)
This series is giving me so much life rn
love the music you use
Thanks! I've gotten mixed comments on the music, trying to figure out if there's a middle ground I can hit...
super underrated series, worth the wait per episode
Plsase keep going, this is so much fun. Even if you have to repeat stats
God I am loving these. I'm so very excited to watch the next video when it comes out. I don't care if it takes a month. I'm just gonna hit that bell to make sure I don't miss it lol
You might be in luck, I'm going to try out a new divinity series that I think will work better in slightly smaller chunks than this series, so I actually have it fully filmed already. I'm a slow editor though...
@@Fracture.Gaming awesome! I'm looking forward to that series, as well!
I hope that you enjoy the story and quests in your spare time. Divinity is the best RPG setting ever made imo
i burst out laughing when you dragged alice around the entire map!!! god ill say it again, this is so damn fun to watch!!!!
It feels weird because I made it, but I've watched that part like 4-5 times just for fun myself...
This remind me of how I completed Tactician mode in Divinity 2 as a 2 lone wolf undead only team, basically it was a cheese galore. Teleporting gloves were my bread and butter for most of it, finding use all the way to the final boss of the game. Man talking about it make my want to try, but I have a feeling I'd be in for a painful ride as I haven't played in years and must be rusty, but at the same time I always wanted to make a 4 summoner(or maybe its conjurer? as I said, haven't played in a long while) party and abuse the hell out of blood demons.
The tactician achievement on Steam is probably the only one in my entire catalogue I'm actually proud of.
I’ll probably never get that achievement, I’m addicted to the movement speed increase from the gift bag. I can’t play without it anymore, I just feel so slow
I just did the Blackpit fight with a pal the other day and seeing you just let the Dhjin slaughter everyone was so entertaining to watch xD also props on the song for actually putting it in the video. I am always down for more stupid shit :D
Also yes, I highly recommend you finish the game regularly, just because it's so good. My friend and I are having fun with some lighter flavours of cheese, like tossing every single buff spell under the sun on the character in a conversation that initiates the fight, or putting my Archer on the tower in the graveyard where the eagle is so you can shoot down to where the Shadow assassins ambush the Red Prince. It just so happens that your archer will be so far away that it puts you out of combat immideatly after shooting down, so you can just rain down arrows while ignoring initiative
The song 😢 THE PAIN.
KINDA 🔥 MUCH LOVE ❤️
Oil spreads, expanding the pile. All those oil barrels pushed oil further out where it could add mor oil.
You're a madman doing a blind honour mode playthrough
Also the necrofire reverberated back because the oil in the barrels had to go somewhere, so it went to the only free ground-space it could.
32:30 its because of all the oil barrels they spread to the nearest tiles they could. banger vid btw
Haha yeah there were like 35 more oil barrels sitting in the regular barrel that was right in the center... there were definitely enough oil barrels to spread all over the place
@32:00 I can almost hear Fane's battle cry as he teleports into his suicide mission,
"FOR THE CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSE!!!!"
Then, after resurrecting himself,
"It ain't easy... Bein' cheesy. 😎" haha
Absolute banger of a series, my dude. And the video and audio editing is top knotch! Keep up the great work! 🤘
Hahahaha yeah Fane knows how it works by now, always for the cheese! Glad you liked the video :)
This video was great. As for the choice Im gonna go for nr.1
solely for the reason that, since the fights are going to be harder, I hope it will drive you insane enough so you would do another song!
The ghost of Marg will come back to haunt me and drive me crazy until I make a fatal mistake and lose my save file.
I would say keep going. Seeing what kind of strategies you come up with, when you have no idea what's going to happen ahead of time, will likely be hilarious.
For Alice I just love doing the soulmate link (don't remember the name) and drinking a big potion with someone who has the food perk. Since she is undead, she just freaking dies xD
Love the edit on the Alice fight. That was some carnage.
When you break multiple oil barrels with a single ability, depending on the number of barrels, the oil spreads farther. So I believe that since you had so many barrels break at the same time the fire spread all the way back to the Red Prince.
Since I don't know what's coming in the next acts, I wanted to save the soulmate kill just in case I need it later. But Alice is very deserving of that strategy, she's terrifying.
@@Fracture.Gaming that is extremely fair to be honest considering that is pretty much the safest way to kill a super strong undead
the way you delt with the troll made me want to play the game again. thanks
my guess with the oil is that the barrels caused lots of extra oil surfaces to want to spawn, so the game found the next closest available surface, just so happened to be back the way it came haha.
Act 3 has some difficult fights, but tbh i always had the most trouble in act 2. with your strats it should be easy
The witch fight edit was amazing.
When i thought.... I really thought that you were going to reuse something because there's a limited number of strategies and the game is so big...you go and do the most crazy surprising and amusing to watch thing possible
Thank you for the episode! Totally worth the wait. Ive not been in act 3 either so I have no idea what to expect. I just hope that you continue this series! I don’t mind if you use same or similar tactics there is always a joy to watch if you can figure out aomething creative :)
And I don’t mind if you take some armor or play/read about the enemies beforehand in act3
I've decided to play it normally with friends first, but I'm brainstorming another Divinity video series to work on in the meantime!
good job editing these videos. impressive. BTW troll song SLAPS. Funny as F
Great job mate.
It's so enjoyable to watch your content
I think that you knowing how enemies work before continuing this series would allow you to come up with more creative solutions. Play through the game normally first; enjoy yourself. Then, continue the series. Great video.
Ah, Alice Alisceon. The one fight in Reaper's Coast I always leave to the end before going to the next area. Screw her forced first turn. But at least you gave me a great idea for the future, have her fight the Djinn. Let's see those two duke it out.
Also, she was definitely pumping up the hatred in this one, god damn. You leashed around half the map, jesus christ. Beautiful as always my friend, glorious. (Plus, I had no idea Totems counted for Thick of the Fight, thanks for that tip I guess. More build ideas popping up now.
P.S.: Since you're going into Act 3 as blind as possible, I'd suggest trying it out legit first. At least so you know where the fights are, against who, who goes first, all that stuff.
P.P.S.: Here's you musical sub mate, you earned it.
Djinn vs Alice might even be a fair fight? I think the Djinn spawns at your level when you let it out, so as long as you're the same level as Alice, they could have quite a duel.
I think I'll play the rest of the game normally first, then come back and finish the series. I'm brainstorming another Divinity video series to work on in the meantime!
@@Fracture.Gaming Yeah, Alice "spawns", for lack of a better word, the same level as when you first see her. Provided you leave her for the very end of Reaper's Coast, as I often do, it would be a pretty amazing fight. Probably the two most OP entities of Reaper Coast duking it out.
But considering this, now I'm thinking saving the Djinn for act 3 might be even better for a fight between OP entities. There's a particular fight there, I won't spoil too much, that's just balls to the wall hard. (The enemy spawns 3 levels above you no matter what level you are. And with an entire army following him, no less. It's a damn great fight to beat, specially on True Lone Wolf.)
But yeah, do Act 3 leisurely, it's a great act. (I'd say Act 2 is where the game really picks up, but 3 nothing to scoff at.) The fights are amazing, the scenery too... Only real shame is the game's ending, but I give it a pass on how awesome the game is.
Edit: Forgot an important distinction... I'm referring to Act 3 thinking of Arx, which theoretically would be Act 4. (Most people do in the community.) Where you're going next is Nameless Isle, which many consider to be rushed, so... Go with that in mind I guess. But it does have some crazy potential for shenanigan fights, I'll say that up front.
Video slapped, and so did the song. Especially the song.
Absolutely loving this video series!
Hiiii! Your content is amaaaaziiiing.
I think you should play through the game once normally on another file (would love to watch the stream) before continuing with this run, so you'll be better prepared! ^^
I've been convinced, that's the plan now. idk about streaming it, but I won't rule it out
I loved watching this video kudos, it was and amazing experience. Regarding act 3 since you obviously seem to have a lot of fun just do what you think you will enjoy the most, that's honestly what I like most about the video your fun.
:) that sounds like a good plan to me!
I expected to see funny content, ridiculous exploits and the many deaths of poor fane. What I didn’t expect was the benny hills style chase by Alice Alisceon across the map and a tribute song to everyone’s favourite bridge businessman. I love this series.
I feel like every fight the entire screen is cursed fire, always. Just standard dos2 things.
It really does get out of control quick...
Best character montage ever
Thank you for this perfect video.
this series is magnificent so far, keep doing you and im sure people will love it. The song was far better than you "hyped" it up to be :))) This game is amazing but i was so caught up in the action and the story that i didn't experiment at this scale. There are certain points in this game .. like hidden gems.. places i got to the unconventional way. maybe showcase some of those things if you encounter situations worth showing. Keep it up.
Haha it's interesting because I'm from a musical family but don't have any singing talent. The problem is that I can hear when singing is bad, so it makes it really easy to be critical of my bad singing voice. I added a little echo and reverb to hide some of the pitch problems. My biggest takeaway was that producing music is hard...
I wonder how good the song could have sounded if somebody who knew how to produce music took my raw audio files and messed around with it.
6k subs lmao. underrated channel. keep it up
Haha thanks, I'm working my way higher every day :D
This is such a good video, how do you not have more views
I'll get there, improving with every video :) glad you liked it!
i know i’m so late to this vid but a favourite cheese of mine for the witch fight is to just tp her and use character placement to keep her in combat to eventually rope jahan into it… level 20 and hits like a truck… but this was a fantastic choice given the weird combat tether bug(?)! i love bringing allies into fights they aren’t really supposed to be in, i had the paladins help me with the scarecrows by the witch’s house too
Best game ever! One friend told me that he considers my techniques cheating, but I STRONGLY disagree! It's a role-playing game, so YOU decides what happens, when, and HOW!! I think he just hates that he didn't think of that also ;) The first out of the box thinking started the others, and first time i deviated "of the beaten path",, is attacking with only one character, that you just "bedrolled", to get the buff, and sneak with others one by one, to use free shot with each of them, , i prefer using actions for that first shot that take more than 2 AP, so I don't waste them in combat mode, then i use 2 AP spells and attacks! Going in and out of combat is also a great advantage, I was doing that, but I didn't know the trick with stairs, thanks for that, I'm gonna try it right now!
The Djinn stuff is actually so smart. Impressive
That being said, I would absolutely recommend you play through the game normally first to enjoy the experience, and after then you can revisit this challenge
That's what I'm leaning towards, it'll definitely be the most fun way for me to experience the rest of the game!
i really like this series I hope you continue it in act 3
This serie is absolutely amazing thank you so much for doing it
Oh god, I lost it at the tethered fight montage, it IS good
My favourite part in this video is 24:41
Rewatched it more than once 😂
godi love this series. it actually makes me sad that htere are only 2 acts left. and honestly the fails make it at least for me even more funn, since you more ore less gett 2 strategies or more per fight.
love these vids man 🤙🏻
u should prolly play act 3 (and 4) first, not only will u not lose ur save, but u can also test more cheesy strats (and there r still a couple i can think of)
Haha yeah I tried to save a few of the general cheese strats for act 3 since I have no idea what to expect. Then try to customize the wacky fights anywhere I can. But definitely leaning towards playing them normally first!
what a beautiful song, it brings tears to my eyes =)
idk how you'll ever beat act 3+4 blind. I bless you with the power of armor!
Using the Djinn as an ally is fucking ingenious.
hahaha the exploding back thing actually broke my save once. The reason it happens is because the oil barrels explode outwards and and have a set number of tiles each barrel has to explode outwards so when stacked they all need to blow up and exploded an unexploded fire tile so for example: 1 barrel blows up 10 tiles so 10 barrels blow up 100 tiles. I did the trick where you put a barrel and an oil barrel in a barrel and repeat and I got around 100ish (might of been more) in each other and when you break the first barrel it pops the oil and stack barrel out that breaks both with another explosion that then brings out the next set and after all the barrels is done you are left in hell. I did this to kill the bridge troll but ended up killing my game with it. It kept expanding all the way out to Alice and to the town near by and ended up crashing my game because half act 2's map was just on fire and the game couldn't handle it. Worst part was it was an honor mode save and I didn't realize one of my characters was dying while I was watching the explosion so the games saved.
The song was more good than cringe. Good job, and good luck and have fun with act 3
Haha that's actually really good to hear. I've received the cringe label a few times in some other videos, so sometimes it feels hard to try something new without it going horribly. I mean I'm still gonna try stuff, its just a bummer when it flops.
the song literally cemented my decision to follow you 👍
It's been fun to watch. You've definitely broken the game multiple times in ways i never would have expected. The only way i think it could have gotten better is if you were able to somehow get all the bosses in one area and then big bomba blast them to hell like you did the harbinger. I do think it'd be funnyif you just continued on cheesing the bosses/enemies one at a time without actually doing a full playthrough. Look forward to your next video, although this one will be a tough one to top. That Alice fight had me mind boggled lol.
lmao maybe in my next video series I'll put all the bosses in the same place, that does sound like fun... Alice, Grog, Harbinger, Scarecrow, Advocate, Djinn, a few higher lvl magisters, Jahan, Hannag, Abomination, maybe leave Marg alone for this one though...
Or maybe just do it as a short, standalone video
