Thats why honor mode is so great. No reloading you have to rock with your tactics. That being said. My barbarian squashed Orin she didnt even bring my health down to 90 percent.
Party: "Why did you do this Durge?! Why betray everyone, and kill and maim, and torture the weak, and ascend to a true Bhaal's chosen?! Why Durge, why?!" Durge: "... ...Sceleritas would be sad."
Fun fact: When Sceleritas is talking to you about finding you more people to slay and murder "to start your day off with a murder or three", the voice acting director gave the VA the prompt of "deliver the line like you are talking to a child who doesn't eat their veggies". Well, needless to say that the VA understood the assignment :D
In all this context of murder, violence, betrayal and other Bhaal'ship(I hope I can implement such word play xD) he sounds evil, but I don't know, he mostly seems like a kind teacher that cares about his student, not an insane creature craving for blood to be spilled.

On the bright side, this is the one and only time you get to see the butler truly suffer. He says that you cannot do anything to him that he will not enjoy. And if you reject the urge, he's too dead to see you do so. In this route, he sees you fail, he feels true sorrow and remorse and regret, and then he dies painfully and permanently.
It's actually really cool that there are options to play like this was your plan all along, just to break free of Bhaal and spite your butler like a mastermind.

Thb the only reason I did a durge run was for the sceleritas cutscenes and dialogues. 😅 Thanks for sharing this rare dialogue. Definitely needs to be archived.
i know he's like an avatar of bhaal or something close, but wish durge had sceleritas as his summon, like boo and minsc. I want to bring this cute dapper little guy with me in my adventures
now i must know what happens if you beat the game in this case especially if you control the brain, is there some special epilogue where you go nuts anyways?
So, effectively, the Dark Urge’s situation is now uncurable, and they will inevitably be consumed by it if freed from the Parasite. It is effectively the same route as “betraying Bhaal by destroying the Netherbrain,” but with extra angst in “now you have no choice but to be Bhaal’s puppet, but you lose the loyalty of your minion/mentor because you let yourself be revived rather than be sacrificed.”
This fight is great and all, but does anyone else think a 1v1 is a wierd trial for a champion of Bhaal in particular? It feels a little too honorable even if Orrin does have some signifigant backup. Bhaal is the scummiest, most underhanded god in dnd, I feel like there should have been an option to rig the fight in your favor. Or maybe if you're doing a redemption Durge, you could fight honorably and win anyway just really stick it to Bhaal. None of this is meant to say its bad or unsatisfying as is, its amazing they even let you lose this encounter and continue the story, im just spitballing here.
The duel is meant to prove which of the spawn is the strongest, which is why Bhaal forces Orin to become the Slayer if you reveal the degenerate lies that define her existence. It's a test of strength and Bhaal offers a lot of it to his loyal spawn.
Orin murdered my physically weak Durge Sorcerer easily in the 1v1 battle. I was holding the Blood of Lathander mace, which instantly healed me enough to resume the battle with the whole party. Magic missiles really helped strip away her stack of Invulerability protection chits.
for anyone that wants to redeem dark urge: you have to win the battle one on one with orin because if you dont you wont have the option to be free of bhaals blood!!
If you lose the duel you only have one option in the end. Claim the crown of Karsus for Bhaal. It seems the urge takes over you at the very end and you live essentially as Bhaal's puppet.
@@TheMasterUnity I think patch 5 changed that so all playthroughs can get the epilogue camp party. "Dark Urge players should now always have the option to kill the netherbrain in the game's final combat."
I broke my game by pommel striking disguised orin, which killed orin for some reason. I still went and killed orin again and after the next long rest he yelled at me for running from the fight
That's the power of hubris. Based on the writings you can find, The Dark Urge was overconfident in their abilities, which allowed Orin to sneak attack them while they were distracted. I'm surprised Durge would even make her second-in-command of the Temple and bring her along on important missions like the one to Moonrise, but there's that hubris again. There's also probably some nepotism involved as well.
yooooo this isnt what happened for me, for me everyone turned on orin and the butler declared her a traitor and usurper, butler screamed "VENGEAAAAAAAAANCE" and the temple followed
So I just got this outcome. But after the cut scene, he’s still there just standing. If i get close to him, he moves slightly, but he’s in the same spot.
After Durge died, the rest of the party entered combat with Orin and her cultists. I left Durge dead for the remainder of the battle because I wanted to see what would happen. Once my party defeated Orin and her cultists, that was when Bhaal appeared and resurrected Durge.
I don't believe this. The Butler scolds you for being a Loser. Then he dies, not of a broken heart, but of a broken everything. The "Stranger Things" Way.
The butler is made to care for the durge. I doubt he has his own feelings. He's just an extension of bhaal's will and when there is no use for you, there is no use for him. Not to mention, I'm almost certain each butler is a new version of the last. So the final one was programmed to be less than nice
They're like the family steward that got exclusively hired to make sure Durge becomes what Bhaal wants them to be. He does actually care to some degree but Durge succeeding and fulfilling Bhaal's wishes takes precedence over everything else. Durge failing in the video tells us exactly this. The Butler was ashamed he lost the duel because he believed Durge would win.
How do you even trigger this? When Orin killed me she just kept attacking my party members. If they all die - it's the end, if they kill her - they resurrect me with a scroll and the game thinks I won, no extra dialogue or anything. 🤔
You need to be playing the Dark Urge origin character and duel Orin one-on-one to trigger this. After you lose to her in one-on-one combat, the rest of your party will then join the fight. I left the Dark Urge dead for the rest of the battle rather than reviving him because I wanted to see what would happen. If you do revive the Dark Urge, things might play out differently 🤷🏻
@@callmeraeak This is exactly what I did, I revived my durge after the battle because nothing was happening. And then the butler talked to me as if I won. It's either a bug or I'm missing something else.
@@kawaty Strange. My guess is it's probably a bug then. I'm not sure if that makes you lucky or not, since this is definitely the worst fate for Durge.
Whether Orin is easy to beat or not has a lot to do with your class and who goes first. This character is a bard and Orin went first. She nearly wiped me out in a single hit and finished me off on her second turn. With a different Durge, a rogue who went first, I had no problem taking her down. I could have loaded back to try again, but I wanted to see what would happen if I just left him dead.
Bards can be one of the better options against her. Hold Monster followed by upcast Scorching Ray or Slashing Flourish (Ranged) is hilariously effective if luck has her fail the Wisdom save.
@dennyAyard_ as a sorlock, hold monster was my only way of beating her. I also had to go into the fight with sanctuary on so that she doesn't kill me in 1 turn
@@callmeraeak that depends rather on build than on your class specifically. If you have low AC and low HP pool, combined with low initiative, that is something that you need to fix.
@@callmeraeak My Durge is a Bard and I just got to act 3. I have the Slayer form though, so she can't use it. A shame its DCs are bugged so it's bad if you're a Bard.

I broke my game by pommel striking disguised orin, which killed orin for some reason. I still went and killed orin again and after the next long rest he yelled at me for running from the fight
I played this as a bard-paladin. She died so far
It's a wonder how Orin was able to usurp you considering how easy she was to beat.
That's the power of hubris. Based on the writings you can find, The Dark Urge was overconfident in their abilities, which allowed Orin to sneak attack them while they were distracted. I'm surprised Durge would even make her second-in-command of the Temple and bring her along on important missions like the one to Moonrise, but there's that hubris again. There's also probably some nepotism involved as well.
With well-executed backstabbing.
Not in a direct combat approach.
@@callmeraeakmaybe LUST;) I would keep orin as scretary for you know what
@@sadsworth4605Considering she's a changeling...
But yeah, just that I could do without the gore fetish!
@@sadsworth4605 Incestuous!
does this just default into the urge ending where you go the party but have lost your mind?
So… how does any epilogue turn out with what fel stated would happen to you when the parasite was removed?
You get the epilogue where you're standing at the edge of the party, waiting for everyone to fall asleep so you can kill them.
yooooo this isnt what happened for me, for me everyone turned on orin and the butler declared her a traitor and usurper, butler screamed "VENGEAAAAAAAAANCE" and the temple followed
There's no way to cure the dark urge if you follow that path ?
His only regret was that he had... bone'itis
So I just got this outcome. But after the cut scene, he’s still there just standing. If i get close to him, he moves slightly, but he’s in the same spot.
You're not the only one: he's still hanging out in my camp too. I have a feeling this issue is further down on Larian's list of bugs they need to fix.
@@callmeraeak makes sense, not a lot of people play as Durge, and I'd imagine even less people loose (and don't save-scum)
Do you have to fight Orin again or how do you get her netherstone after this
I want to know what happens if you then take the crown in Bhaal’s name
What happens with Orin in this situation?
After Durge died, the rest of the party entered combat with Orin and her cultists. I left Durge dead for the remainder of the battle because I wanted to see what would happen. Once my party defeated Orin and her cultists, that was when Bhaal appeared and resurrected Durge.
I wanted to be redeemed Dark Urge. But... Sceleritas was so nice to me :(
So if Orin beats you does that mean your other companions need to fight her like normal or where does she go
Wait so what happens next? Do you go back to fight her and the entire temple to get the stone?
When you die, the rest of your party joins combat and you fight Orin and her cultists to get her stone.
@@callmeraeak ah ok, thank you!
I don't believe this. The Butler scolds you for being a Loser.
Then he dies, not of a broken heart, but of a broken everything.
The "Stranger Things" Way.
So does the Butler actually care about Durge?
Nope.
well kind of, the butler cares about durge in the sense he is the only person he wishes to serve.
The butler is made to care for the durge. I doubt he has his own feelings. He's just an extension of bhaal's will and when there is no use for you, there is no use for him. Not to mention, I'm almost certain each butler is a new version of the last. So the final one was programmed to be less than nice
They're like the family steward that got exclusively hired to make sure Durge becomes what Bhaal wants them to be. He does actually care to some degree but Durge succeeding and fulfilling Bhaal's wishes takes precedence over everything else.
Durge failing in the video tells us exactly this. The Butler was ashamed he lost the duel because he believed Durge would win.
so is there no way to reject bhaal if you lose?
No
Poor dobby
How do you even trigger this? When Orin killed me she just kept attacking my party members. If they all die - it's the end, if they kill her - they resurrect me with a scroll and the game thinks I won, no extra dialogue or anything. 🤔
You need to be playing the Dark Urge origin character and duel Orin one-on-one to trigger this. After you lose to her in one-on-one combat, the rest of your party will then join the fight. I left the Dark Urge dead for the rest of the battle rather than reviving him because I wanted to see what would happen. If you do revive the Dark Urge, things might play out differently 🤷🏻
@@callmeraeak This is exactly what I did, I revived my durge after the battle because nothing was happening. And then the butler talked to me as if I won. It's either a bug or I'm missing something else.
@@kawaty Strange. My guess is it's probably a bug then. I'm not sure if that makes you lucky or not, since this is definitely the worst fate for Durge.
Geralt?
Wouldve been cool to see if I didnt stun her every turn and layed the dirtiest combo on her like its Tekken
It must feel especially bad, since Orin is so weak 1v1. Losing to her and get humiliated. Uh...
Whether Orin is easy to beat or not has a lot to do with your class and who goes first. This character is a bard and Orin went first. She nearly wiped me out in a single hit and finished me off on her second turn. With a different Durge, a rogue who went first, I had no problem taking her down. I could have loaded back to try again, but I wanted to see what would happen if I just left him dead.
Bards can be one of the better options against her. Hold Monster followed by upcast Scorching Ray or Slashing Flourish (Ranged) is hilariously effective if luck has her fail the Wisdom save.
@dennyAyard_ as a sorlock, hold monster was my only way of beating her. I also had to go into the fight with sanctuary on so that she doesn't kill me in 1 turn
@@callmeraeak that depends rather on build than on your class specifically. If you have low AC and low HP pool, combined with low initiative, that is something that you need to fix.
@@callmeraeak My Durge is a Bard and I just got to act 3. I have the Slayer form though, so she can't use it. A shame its DCs are bugged so it's bad if you're a Bard.
Bruh I’m bard in my first play thru, all I did was just drop alchemist fire 100x
DAMN!
I fought her with a way of hand monk. I didnt even know she could attack...
Wow! It's so hard to lose and even if lose I would reload the moment I got KO.
Only played on normal so far, but the Orin Dark Urge fight was by far the easiest one for me in the entire game. I was a Barbarian and she didn’t even hit me 😂.
I wonder if (spoiler below)
if you become an illithid, you prevent yourself from going bhaal crazy
Unfortunately, that does not prevent it. I had thought it might so I made that choice, but alas...
Durge one shot sorcerer. Kinda trivializes the fight.
His one regret is he had Bone-itis
The fight with Orin was pitifully easy though
