The Heart: uses Come Unto Your Maker on my Flagellant. My Flagellant: *Stuns him and heals Reynald and Dismas, giving me a surprisingly easy final battle* The Heart: _surprised pikachu face_
a very interesting touch that the ghostly effect of the ancestor's speeches is not present during *the* battle, it just goes to show that he truly wasn't dead this whole time
He is narrating your every move up until the final dungeon, but there - he stops. And you battle him in complete silence, only to the pulse of the Heart of the World
True Armageddon is not the awakening of the Heart, nor the maturation of the Sleeper. It is the dreadful, awe-inspiring day when Wayne June, David Attenborough, and Morgan Freeman wage a war of words to decide who is the *One Narrator to Rule Them All.*
Honestly, I'd be interested in a game where you have to fight 3 cosmic horrors, and each horror is a chapter where a man helps you on your journey to defeat the horror, just for you to find out the man was a corrupted pawn of the horror, and all 3 men are voiced by the three ppl you just mentioned
Something I don’t see many people talking about is the implications of mankind’s relation to the Heart. “Progenitor of life, father and mother, alpha and omega… our creator and our destroyer.” “The great family of man… a profusion of errant flesh. Multiplying, swarming, *living, dying…*” From these two lines, and how you start getting brief glimpses of characters in the Hamlet as distorted mounds of flesh, it’s heavily implied that mankind is a mutated, discarded piece of the Heart itself. The coherent, “sane” forms you see are delusions, but once you’ve started entering the Darkest Dungeon itself, you start seeing through the facade to the horrifying truth. That’s why the Cultists worship it as their true creator.
Ancestor - You cannot defeat the Heart. You have only delayed the inevitable! Current Heir - I see that my ancestor who has lied to me for my entire adventure, has now revealed to me the truth! What can I do but fall prey to his machinations!!! Modern day heir - Ok Boomer.
Ancestor: Fool! Accept your fate, the heart can be stopped! Also ancestor after you defeat the heart: Eh doesn't matter he will come back every time, you still lose haha lol Also ancestor when 2 antiquarian can destroy the heart: .... Fuck off
In the immortal words of the Great Leper, remembered by all who know the tale of that warrior of legend who felled the Heart in a single blow: "Rain in the forest"
I had an interesting epiphany the first time I got to Hell is in the Heart. The Ancestor was never talking to the in game character, the person who received his letter. He was always talking to you, the player. Think about it. He mentions at some point in town that he was dead before the angry townsfolk could find him, and in his first combat speech, he says "You still consider yourself separate from the whole", which implies that he knows that you think his reality is separate from yours, that you're not actually there experiencing what everyone else in the Hamlet is. You're just looking at it from a separate angle, detached from his world. He knows that you are in a separate reality from him, and personally, that terrified me more than literally anything I have ever encountered in this game. This game is a masterpiece, and I highly recommend that everyone play it at least once.
Guy basically had his brain turn itself inside out when he found out some truth to the universe. That, or it's the Heart saying this because it's got its hand so far up his arse it's using his mouth like a sockpuppet. Guy's either insane (Or became far *too* sane) or possessed.
@@greatorder i think alot of people would have done that if a things comes to you and says that its the creator of life and death and all are part of him either out of desperation,madness or of his own will he looked at it this way "the end is coming either way so why shouldn't i speed it up?"
I feel like Lovecraftian horror is an endless well of great stories yet untold. If anyone hasn't seen it, watch, "In the Mouth of Madness." with Sam Neil. It's very good and very similar to this. A man haunted by madness.... to know the truth, and then, be broken.
Darkest Dungeon, the game is great with sophisticated mechanics, art style and story writings. it reminds me, 1980 ish Original "Rogue", or Game-book "Steve Jackson's Sorcery!" But...What grasp my heart is ... the great voice acting by the voice actor. (You know, There were NO voice acting , in Original "Rogue", nor "Steve Jackson's Sorcery!").
I feel the ancestor might be *wrong about the end of the world* 🌍 as the Thing needs the blood and misery and triumphs of its children to *grow* . Or *he is right* , and just lied 🤥 to get more food 🥘 for God 💃🤖. That would be *very* in character for him.

Rest in peace Wayne June. Thank you for making Darkest Dungeon truly special.
"Far below, life-laden shadows pulse to the unrelenting rhythm of a beating heart."
This is legit unsettling.
Eh, just get some flamethrowers and shoot at it. If anything, it will at least give it heartburn.
Calm down there Chapter Master.
@@greatorder ah, i see you are a brother of culture
Best narrator voice ever
franbh94 I see something long-absent in the sunken faces of passersby - a glimmer of hope.
This and the narrator from Bastion are neck and neck in my book
My obsession caused this great foulness, and it is shameful that I must rely upon you to set it right.
Jester: Sounds like BITCH TALK to me!
**Lands a Crit 1307**
The Heart: uses Come Unto Your Maker on my Flagellant.
My Flagellant: *Stuns him and heals Reynald and Dismas, giving me a surprisingly easy final battle*
The Heart: _surprised pikachu face_
That scene in My Mind
The Heart: “Come unto me, foolish mortal”
Flaggelant: “Nah, I don't really feel like it”
Have you seen the yellow sign?
That moment when you realize you're fighting Wayne June
Victor Perfetti truly a lost cause
He's like the Bing Crosby of Horror. A voice like dreams poured out of a cup.
a very interesting touch that the ghostly effect of the ancestor's speeches is not present during *the* battle, it just goes to show that he truly wasn't dead this whole time
"The Flesh is Immortal", after all
He is narrating your every move up until the final dungeon, but there - he stops. And you battle him in complete silence, only to the pulse of the Heart of the World
You still foolishly consider yourself an entity separate from the whole. I know better *AND I. WILL. SHOW. YOU*
When I hear that kind of dialogue that brings sh*t-your-pants philosophy to you, you just know it's not going to be a pleasant ending for everyone.
Me when I’m shitting
*PERFECT REPLICATION*
*the final combat intensifies*
03:59
Behold, the Heart of the World!
Progenitor of life, father and mother, alpha and omega!
our creator... and our destroyer!
Fuxking AWESOME
Hiroshi Jinbo *gets stunned*
*Clobbers the boss in one hit*
*OUR CREATOR ... AND OUR DESTROYER*
*stuns it with a wooden club*
okay buddy
*Uses Holy Vestigel Virgin Powers*
Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!
yeah, well, despite the story and its look, the last boss is rather underwhelming
True Armageddon is not the awakening of the Heart, nor the maturation of the Sleeper.
It is the dreadful, awe-inspiring day when Wayne June, David Attenborough, and Morgan Freeman wage a war of words to decide who is the *One Narrator to Rule Them All.*
Damnit,you could've just switched the *Rule* with *Narrate*

No wonder the ending involves a bullet to the head.
Wayne June is an amazing narrator but the writing in this game is so underrated, it is perfect Lovecraftian/Eldritch/Existential horror
@Egg T True reading Lovecraft’s books. I swear I spent half the time trying to find out what every other word meant.
i can't say it's underrated, but the gameplay is niche and far from mainstream, so most people never even heard of the game or quotes from it, sadly.
The ancestor and Stanley Parable narrator are my favorite voices
Stanley walked through the RED DOOR!
Crawling Chaos? Wait. Wait
GOD DAMNIT NYARLATHOTEP!!
Ancestor - You cannot defeat the Heart. You have only delayed the inevitable!
Current Heir - I see that my ancestor who has lied to me for my entire adventure, has now revealed to me the truth! What can I do but fall prey to his machinations!!!
Modern day heir - Ok Boomer.
Ancestor:
Fool! Accept your fate, the heart can be stopped!
Also ancestor after you defeat the heart:
Eh doesn't matter he will come back every time, you still lose haha lol
Also ancestor when 2 antiquarian can destroy the heart:
.... Fuck off
boomer meme funnie
@@omberman The ancestor has peak boomer mentality.
In the immortal words of the Great Leper, remembered by all who know the tale of that warrior of legend who felled the Heart in a single blow:
"Rain in the forest"
The first sentences from samurai legend lol
He lies... Don't listen to him and end this.
This is awesome! We should have this guy narrate everything!
"At the twisted, misshapen T intersection, turn left, and proceed for fifteen miles... until at last, you reach the end... of 5th street."
zoupskim I WOULD PAY TOP DOLLAR FOF THIS
"He chose to play games instead of study the night before.. overconfidence is a slow, and insidious killer.."
"It is never too early...for a salad."
"I married the wrong woman... And now I live a life of regret."
"For sword or supplication!"
this man needs his own religion
"...but it is enough to trigger the cycle of revelation."
Chills down my spine😨
Life feeds on life
So Lovecraftian...❤️

good point
great explanation never though about it like this
Then you should play at spec ops : the Line. both Amazing and underrated game
The depths of the ancestors betrayal sickens me, he threw our entire race under the bus and it wasnt even for a reward.
Guy basically had his brain turn itself inside out when he found out some truth to the universe. That, or it's the Heart saying this because it's got its hand so far up his arse it's using his mouth like a sockpuppet.
Guy's either insane (Or became far *too* sane) or possessed.
It's not a betrayal if he's not a man anymore
@@greatorder i think alot of people would have done that if a things comes to you and says that its the creator of life and death and all are part of him either out of desperation,madness or of his own will he looked at it this way "the end is coming either way so why shouldn't i speed it up?"

Can you get the quote of the ancestor laughing at you when he lands a crit on one of your characters?
I am one year late but never find that scary laugh anywhere. Please make it real
God bless Wayne June
The creature's blessings are as repulsive as they are robust.
He would get on well with The Many from System Shock 2
Darkest Dungeon, the game is great with sophisticated mechanics, art style and story writings.
it reminds me, 1980 ish Original "Rogue", or Game-book "Steve Jackson's Sorcery!"
But...What grasp my heart is ... the great voice acting by the voice actor.
(You know, There were NO voice acting , in Original "Rogue", nor "Steve Jackson's Sorcery!").
E-Force and D-Sturb - Once Again
So this is where E-Force is getting his vocals from
I am so gonna put this going on under my friend's bed at night
I imagine: 3AM Ancestor: Babe you gotta wake up, the progenitor of life, father and mother, alpha and omega, our creator and our destroyer as awakened

I feel the ancestor might be *wrong about the end of the world* 🌍 as the Thing needs the blood and misery and triumphs of its children to *grow* .
Or *he is right* , and just lied 🤥 to get more food 🥘 for God 💃🤖.

Decent 👍
How did you get the audio?
